1) HTML pages are not inherently printer-friendly

2) LaTeX is a text formatting language. It can be argued HTML is (fundamentally) also a text formatting language, but if you submit a resume to me styled with HTML and CSS using colors and graphics and drop shadows, I will personally burn your resume, damn the consequences.

That's a pretty impressive resume. Is it ok to steal your design?
I want to go but it looks like all the hotels are booked. Already looked at airbnb and nothing. So if anybody knows of a spot not to far out that is available do tell.
That's essentially what it does, but if you use the "autocd" option as well, you don't need to type "cd" - you can just use the name of a directory as a command. So, "autopushd" would ensure that these operations use the directory stack also.
Cool. Interesting to see that growth
Personally, I find a latex resume comes across as pretentious if it's your only latex publication, which is usually easy to determine from its contents.

Comparing the uptake of CDs and digital downloads to cassettes is not really valid.

Cassettes complimented vinyl, rather than replaced it. Even many who primarily wanted portable music would purchase on vinyl and then tape themselves. That gave much better quality than buying pre-recorded cassettes. It was pretty common when I was in college for even the people who only had cassette players to purchase their music on vinyl, and have someone with a turntable and tape deck tape it for them.

CDs, on the other hand, were largely a replacement for vinyl, and now digital downloads are replacing CDs.

I use gmail, mostly, and use the +identifier trick if I'm giving my email out to shady websites. Honestly, though, the spam filters in gmail are good enough that I don't worry about throwing my email out wherever, and if anything gets through I can either set up a filter or mark it as spam for the future.

$9 eCPM (per ad, not even per page)? If they can seriously get that for run of the mill non-niche content, that's where their real skill lies. There are plenty of part-time bloggers (including many HN users) who could make a serious chunk of change earning $9 eCPM even on their personal blogs..
unfortunately Engadget is owned by AOL, and AOL has proved an unwilling partner in this site’s evolution.... AOL has its heart in the wrong place with content.... AOL sees content as a commodity it can sell ads against. That ... doesn’t promote good journalism or even good entertainment, and it doesn’t allow an ambitious team like the one I know and love at Engadget to thrive.

This reminds me strongly of this old, but still very relevant post which explains why textfiles.com doesn't have advertising: http://www.textfiles.com/thoughts/advertising.html
I don't think that word means what you think it means. I might consider it pretentious if the resume was written with a dip pen on parchment embossed with the family crest.

Taking a simple task like writing a document in Word and using it as an excuse to learn a text formatting language sounds perfectly reasonable for a hacker.
This same argument is why I still have it in for Apple, despite their current success in consumer electronics.

I voted you up, but I'll note that one of the secondary reasons I wanted a PowerBook in 2004 was because Windows seemed so dominant and I didn't like the idea of Microsoft being able to completely control the Internet. OS X was the only OS at the time capable of competing with Windows for average users. Now, because of Firefox, Apple, and Google, it looks highly unlikely that Microsoft could in effect control the Internet even if they wanted to.

Site for Local Meal Suggestions And Food Deals Set to Launch
People can vote sites both up and down, so assuming a decent number of people are participating you can can a general idea of what people think about a certain domain. In the case of something like ComputerWorld where some people don't care about the ad style, and some people do, it could have both up votes and down votes, each neutralizing the effect of the other so it wouldn't get as bad of a "rank" as sites where more people agree that they don't like it. Also, there is no import or export features so its still very much up to a user to checkout the domain and decide to block it or not, it's not making any decisions for you.
Google Reader API for Cocoa
Most full-time, high volume writers or journalists are used to this - it's not a question of self respect any more than questioning the self respect of someone who works in WalMart. You can still take pride in (and enjoy) your work even if it's under someone else's direction.

On a much smaller scale, I, a small-time 'problogger', do the same. Monitoring trends, tracking things I know will be coming up.. For example, it's in my calendar that next Thursday it'll be 18 years since Matz started to develop Ruby - you can be sure I'll be writing about it ;-)
Paul Graham on Choices
Maybe it's just because I run a lot of the same commands and don't do a lot of development from the terminal, but I avoid cding at all usually and just type the full path. It svaes time over multiple sessions thanks to ctrl+r, and the commands in my history work no matter what dir I'm in.
Microsoft recently patched that so it's no longer the default action.

I have an online version of my resume which is precisely this, though not as custom-done as the rest of my homepage. But I used this lovely template: http://sampleresumetemplate.net/ and edited as necessary.

I would love to put my resume into LaTeX, if I had a simple way to do so. Unfortunately, it would be a pretty painful process, and not something for which I have currently budgeted the time. I will check out some of these templates and frameworks mentioned in the future. For now, though, since I haven't even started my new job yet, not an especially urgent project : )
Hosted Notes
I have difficulty defending Apple in this matter, but yours is an inaccurate comparison.

Google did not create the internet. On the other hand, Apple created the iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches on which these apps (potentially) thrive, and has gone to great lengths to support app developers.
What about adding a CSS style with the 'print' media type?

I'd still use LaTeX, though. Media types are just a really cool trick...
In that vein, then.

Why was your post more than 3 sentences?

Perhaps, the message is more important than the style?
Be aware, most spammers also know this trick, and it's fairly trivial to strip -identifier s out the addresses.

Spamfiltering, on the other hand, just works.
Stuxnet didn't use autorun, it used vulnerabilities in the code windows executes after the insertion of a new flash drive
Furthermore, the fact that a resume is written in LaTeX doesn't mean you publish it that way. If you have really great-looking PDFs that you send out, who's to care? When I send out my resume, I only send PDFs etc anyway, unless explicitly requested otherwise. Can't trust recipient clients. Not that you always can with PDF, either...
The Enlive system (for Clojure, see https://github.com/cgrand/enlive) does something very similar.

Mr Eich in the comments responding to someone accusing them of screwing up Javascript and selling out:

"But at the time, mostly we felt the need to move very quickly, not to make money but because we knew Microsoft was coming after us. Microsoft low-balled Netscape in late '94, and the Jims (Clark and Barksdale) told them to pound sand. After that, we felt the monster truck riding up on our little Yugo's rear bumper, month by month.

"If you appreciate this and it is accurate, consider that JavaScript (please, not "JScript") saved you from VBScript."

Since you said "All I want to do is focus on building stuff," you should definitely try to find a local-to-you accountant or tax lawyer to help you work through the process. Your overall arrangement doesn't sound too convoluted, but you could get a real headache if you don't work through things properly.

This said, some theoretical answers to your question (I am not an attorney, and none of this is anything beyond my conjecture):

With this in mind, it's interesting to look at the "set design": miter saw, clamps, drawings, sand paper, wood scraps, sawdust and broom all strategically placed around the scene to add realism.

For giveaways thought, in addition to the strange shadowing and textures the parent mentions, there's the human factor. To me the acting seems just a bit off.

Kudos to the guy who made this though; I imagine just modeling that structure (and its shadows and reflections) in CGI was a fun nut to crack!
Actually, it is not painful at all. You just need the right style file.
Then you place your text in various sections, and LaTeX formats it perfectly for you. I love LaTeX.

While I'm on the topic: slides (presentation) done via LaTeX (and in PDF) look simply _amazing_. Powerpoint has _nothing_ on LaTeX + PDF.
Interesting idea. How does it differ from using Dropbox + Keepassx though? Frankly, I feel safe when using that setup.

I read your FAQ and such. I found that, for a 'security' product, it was light on the security details. Mentioning encryption once and not much else. Expanding on that might put a few people at ease.

You may also want to include a comparison/benefits sheet in contract to existing solutions(like the one I mention). People are going to be reluctant to hand over their login credentials if you can't quell those fears.

Otherwise, best of luck!

Edit: I hope the above doesn't come across as an attack, so much as a serious of unsolicited suggestions :)
Some YC companies definitely do. I'd guess that most startups do to an extent.

I have to admit, when I saw this I went looking for resume examples in LaTeX and I was impressed. I'm downloading Lyx right now(Linux high-level LaTeX front-end) and intend to redo my resume...and I'm not even looking for work! Its that appealing.
Just make sure you put "design stealing" on your version of the resume.
Agreed. Something like Mirah, designed to run the the Java ecosystem from the ground up, makes more sense and brings along far less baggage. You lose the Python libraries if you go this route but I suspect you're mostly just going to be gluing together bits of the Android APIs anyway so it's less of a loss.

Another telltale sign are the default margins, though I spose someone would sooner change the margins than change the font.
I'm a tax accountant and the answer is incredibly simple.

1. File in the state that you incorporated your business.
2. File in the state that you are domiciled in.

The absolute answer to the letter of the law is to file short year returns for California and Mass. because anywhere you were located meant that the company was temporarily based in that state. But, realistically this is stupid and the states aren't going to really care about you because you don't make enough to be worth their time.

So there you have it.
This is not true. OSX locks down the FireWire ports to protect system memory. I am not sure exactly how this works but I believe it's firmware/driver dependent and Windows usually lacks the drivers to force the firmware into a protected mode. FireWire having direct access to the system ram is not a requirement of the 1.0 spec, it's a stupid implemention decision by chip designers.

A reddit relevant to the issue of procrastination

You are probably right.

Always follow the money. The government is concerned about "cyber-security type things" and there will be no end of shady and less-shady firms willing to charge millions of dollars for providing whatever the government thinks it wants (which is probably not what it needs).

And as you pointed out these firms don't operate in a vacuum, they form networks. They compete with each other but also look for a possible strategic partnership if one comes along.

The real key is to recruit someone who retired from the military or from one of the 3-letter-agencies. (At least ask them to serve on the board). Just that right there nets you an enormous amount of projects. You thought big enterprise runs on golf-ware, but big government projects also run on friend-ware and friend-of-a-friend-ware. It is very much an incestuous family.
social: I'm assuming you got that part.

democratic: level playing field. ie, "one vote per person" - you have as much influence as you have, nobody's granted a super-tweeter account that can @ everyone at once simply by being, say, Bill Gates. It's a stretch, but I've seen it used this way before for Internet things.

DOM-based templating is a horrible idea, at least for the majority of projects I've ever worked on.

The whole point of using templates is to separate your presentation logic from the rest of your application - ideally, you can hand the templates over to a client-side developer/designer and they can re-jiggle everything on their own.

If your templating code works by performing manipulations against a DOM, even minor changes to your page structure require to to completely rewrite both the templates and the code that manipulates them. I'd much rather leave my "view" code alone and just alter the template.

Would love to see someone explain what this library does in simpler terms. I can't tell which terms are buzzwords, which are industry standard, and which terms are from their own internal vocabulary.

I've never fretted over and spent so much time on minutia of typesetting as I have with LaTeX.

I suppose it's fine if you're satisfied with some default look that someone else has come up with for your document. But for me that's never good enough.

I want my documents to look a certain way, and it's virtually never the case that any LaTeX class or document style looks good enough with the default settings. So I wind up doing endless tweaking until finally it looks the way I want it to.

Of course, by then it does look brilliant. And the time spent is well worth it. But you do have to put in the time to get these kinds of results, if the default settings don't suit you.

pretentious, adj. Attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed

Learning latex because you're curious is one thing. Using latex on your resume solely to give the impression you know latex would qualify as "affecting greater talent than is actually possessed".
Yeah, but the accomplishment is by far the most important part. It's very easy to expend a lot of effort doing things that don't actually increase one's chance of success on something, and I don't think that should be praised.
"Competition for a job in math is way lower than it is for biological sciences."

Actually, the opposite is true, at least in the United States. Many more Biological Science PhDs are granted relative to mathematics, but there is also a lot more funding in the life sciences relative to mathematics.

The mathematics job market is more similar to the notorious humanities market than to the life sciences.
I post it anywhere and everywhere. GMail's spam filter is good enough to block 99% of junkmail, and having a single obvious address really helps when someone real's trying to contact me (eg, for a question / bug report). Additionally, I think things like "address AT YAHOO DOT COM" are stupid beyond words, and try to contact people with such addresses by alternate means (to avoid encouraging it).

Somewhat related, I see no point to using a pseudonym for most websites. Posters are often careless enough with their personal info that a clever reader can connect pseudonyms to real names. Posting under your real name eliminates this false sense of safety, and provides a mental "do I really want to be responsible for this text?" safeguard against poorly edited posts.
That's true. Zed's book is for total beginners; people who are just learning how to use a text editor.
If this worked, it would be a great hack.
