When job searching I use LinkedIn to see who I need to send my resume too. From there I search them and the company on facebook to see if we have any mutual contacts. Even we dont have any mutual contacts I'll send them a message to see if i can send them my resume directly. This has always been successful for me to land interviews and get job Im qualified for and want.

So, LInkedIn for me has the purpose for serving as a directory to then connect with who you need to via Facebook. Everyone visits/interacts with FB everyday, so sending them a message there, you will get you an immediate response over sending via LinkedIn.
Perhaps you should approach other people.

I love the concept of sharding counters to trade write performance for read performance! As so often happens, my understanding advances by looking at something I thought I knew the only possible answer to ("Of course a counter goes in a single variable!") and seeing that other alternatives are possible.
On the Big 5 system, people often confuse the introversion-extroversion axis with the neuroticism axis. Neuroticism is more associated with social anxiety, poor social skills, and the like. From wikipedia:

"[Neuroticism] is an enduring tendency to experience negative emotional states. Individuals who score high on neuroticism are more likely than the average to experience such feelings as anxiety, anger, guilt, and depressed mood.[1] They respond more poorly to environmental stress, and are more likely to interpret ordinary situations as threatening, and minor frustrations as hopelessly difficult. They are often self-conscious and shy, and they may have trouble controlling urges and delaying gratification. Neuroticism is associated with low emotional intelligence, which involves emotional regulation, motivation, and interpersonal skills.[2] It is also a risk factor for "internalizing" mental disorders such as phobia, depression, panic disorder, and other anxiety disorders (traditionally called neuroses)."
Is there any evidence for that model of how humans work? People talk about it all the time, but I've never heard of attempts to test it.

My only reservation after looking at this. You could imagine the "POS" acronym changing meaning very quickly in the event of connection failure.

That said, maybe they could eventually integrate gears or some other type of offline storage.
Unfortunately, the rest of the world has the same issues understanding the term "hacker." I think this will just fall into obscurity.
My first personal VPS was with Bytemark and we use them at work for our Disaster Recovery box in case our datacenters get hit by meteors or whatever. They're a good team and know what they're doing.

I have also spent a couple of years with Slicehost, who have excellent docs and a reliable service. It's fair to say that I learned most of what I know about syadmin stuff while hosted with Slicehost.

When Slicehost got bought out, I switched to their new parent RackSpace to get some experience with "cloud" stuff. It's working out very well so far. They're a bit cheaper than Slicehost.
I've had numerous interesting interactions with recruiters over the years, as well as directly with hiring companies. The biggest benefit agencies seem to offer is initial screening, but it's also where they seem to fall down the most. When a recruiter can't tell me anything more than "MySQL, PHP, JavaScript", they don't really understand the client's needs or the position involved.

I find that perhaps 1 in 10 or 15 calls I get from a recruiter involves someone with a clue. Sometimes they know the tech and can talk about the client's architecture and needs, other times they will admit they're not technical, but they have had some dealings with the company directly (often for extended periods) and have a good idea about the type of person who would be a good fit. But it's still rare that I'm talking to a recruiter who, imo, is actually providing some degree of service to the hiring company (let alone my side of the equation).

More companies might be able to 'go direct' without needing a recruiter, but many don't know how to sell their own company to a potential employee. Money helps, certainly, and they'd be able to offer more if they weren't involving a recruiting agency, but it typically takes a committed involvement from the company to do the initial screening.

I used to think recruiters had no place, and that companies should always go direct. I've found that strategically, it makes sense in a few cases if they need a specific skill and don't want to broadcast to the wider market (their competition) about upcoming plans. However, those instances are pretty rare.
You won't get anything resembling an accurate count by posting a poll here.
I'd be surprised if the ad companies aren't already giving the publishers who run their ad units a script that allows data to be tracked through it "locally" and which then proxies to/from the ad company. A minor headache but probably worth it for them.

I never had a second thought on what would LGPL compliance be and why it would be an advantage to developers have a BSD-style library instead of an LGPL one.

Any license-lawyer wants to elaborate on that?
Spot on.

I've been in this field for too long, and can bring too much value, to sell my services at way under value, even if it includes a lot of free drinks.

It's hard for companies to recognize extra value they could possibly be getting from senior/older developers, but also requires a commitment that they actually try to get extra value from them. Whether that's proactively, or just reacting positively to observations/input, and I've not found many companies interested in doing that. It's cheaper/easier/faster to hire the younger kids looking for their first or second job. That used to be me, and I understand those advantages, but I also see the problems associated with those sorts of hires. An ideal org would have a nice balance of all experience levels, but few that I run in to have that balance.
Definitely second getting an SSD instead. It's the single biggest upgrade you can do to a PC today, especially for laptops. If you can live with 128gb of storage, a RealSSD C300, the current performance king (although check Anandtech for updates, this is changing all the time) is $264 from Newegg:

The 7th largest earthquake in history was an 8.8 off the coast of Ecuador in January 1906. Three months later in April, the Great San Francisco quake struck.

Ask HN: you want HOW much for the design?
I'm due to quit my job this week to work full-time on my startup. I've done much of the back end work over the past year in my free time but I'll need help with the front end.

It's a pretty standard web app focused on a narrow vertical in the cargo industry. I've contacted several designers I found on dribbble /sortfolio and received quotes between $50 and $120 per hour with estimates of between 20 and 40 hours per page. That would make the cheapest page $1000. Let's say I need 10 pages for the web app (which I could then use as templates for other pages). I'm looking at a minimum of $10000 and probably much more.

I've read many many posts about how boot-strapped businesses got off the ground and to my knowledge I've never heard of any startup paying such a high amount for design, so how did they do it? Are there places besides sortfolio and dribbble that I can find designers?
Disclosing a fact? No, that's not necessarily criminal.

Publicly admitting to having committed a "computer crime"? That's a different story.

I think the point _phred was trying to make is that publicly disclosing the issue like this puts all of the sites on PHPFog at risk.

There is certainly some confirmation bias going on in these reports, but I must say I sometimes find walking away from the problem for a short while (looking at something else, taking a relaxed lunch instead of eating at desk, just nipping out for a few minutes of fresh air, or just chatting to a colleague about something related or otherwise) can work wonders.

Sometimes a relevant idea will just come to me while I'm away (I carry a pencil and bit of paper for such occurrences, as it is very annoying to get back to my desk and forget the beneficial train of thought!), sometimes I'll hit the problem from a slightly different angle when I get back and find success that way.

I think mainly the difference is usually stress. Forcing your mind to think about a particular problem can drive you into a mental rut in which you think the same things over and over and get nowhere, getting more irritated at your lack of getting anywhere as time goes on which creates more stress and makes matters worse. At times like that inspiration is less likely to strike (or be recognised when it does). Having time to ponder a problem, consciously or otherwise, can be very fruitful.

This fits in quite nicely with the idea that the sleep pattern we've evolved is as much about rearranging what we've learnt and experienced while awake as it is about anything else (like the brain's DBA taking time to run DBCC REINDEX on everything so our thinking is more efficient the next day). It also tallies with the fact that some of the most successful people I know are generally more relaxed (and not just because they are more comfortable due to earlier success) than myself!
Anyone actually read the exploit? This is not so much hacking as it is PHPFog being extraordinarily stupid. The fact is that such an obvious vulnerability (that I'm sure many of their experience customers have noticed) went ignored by the PHPFog team.

The phpfogsucks site is tasteless and mean spirited, but it is good information to have for potential PHPFog customers that the service they are shipping their valuable code too is extremely poorly managed.

Totally depends on what you do:
I have a 2.6ghz 2010 MBP with an Intel SSD that has been the screamer at our office for quite a while now.
My office mate just got a 2011, and even though he has yet to get an SSD in it yet, he runs our integration test suite ( java JUnit stuff, heavy mix of cpu and disk io ) in half the time I can ( thats 7 minutes vs 14 ), and where my cpus stay at 75-90% the whole time, his never breaks 15. Now, on the compile target that I run 10-20 times a day, my machine is still a second or two faster, but I suspect that advantage will evaporate once he has that SSD.

I've used a few approaches:

1) BCC (old design): Grabbed an appropriate template from oswd.org. Chopped the heck out of it. Cost: free, but spent quite a bit of time. Quality: it didn't scare people?

2) BCC (new design): Found a very talented young lady in India on elance. Cost: a few hundred bucks. Quality: I won't win most-beautiful-site-ever awards, but the cost performance was outstanding.

3) Appointment Reminder: WooThemes template, lightly customized with a logo from 99Designs and a central image that a designer friend made for me. Cost: $169 + what the designer charged. He asked me not to say, but suffice it to say that it is much less than you are contemplating. Quality: The app itself doesn't knock socks off, but the front page does.

I don't begrudge the high-end designers their fees -- some of them produce very nice work indeed. However, I don't know if that's necessarily the best place to put $10k to work for a B2B startup.
When someone makes extraordinary claims about the "tyranny of extroverts" and says that the 10 most innovative minds couldn't carry a conversation if it had handles, then I think that person has shown a critical research failure to miss Feynman. He's not exactly an obscure figure and he's an obvious counterpoint to this guy's flame.

As for the other points I mentioned, they arise because his entire thesis is based on unsubstantiated conjecture. His very thesis, "society rewards extroverts" seems sound, but he's not exploring any of the reasons for this. Maybe society rewards extroverts because society is, by definition, a group activity and people who enjoy group activities will tend to gain the favor of the group.

Maybe society rewards extroverts because without communication skills, no idea will ever leave the mind that thought it. It's the human equivalent to the "if a tree falls in the forest" koan. Or maybe this guy is right, and society rewards extroverts because the bastards have it in for introverts and it's a tyrannical conspiracy. This guy jumps right to my last point. His justification? That society is run by extroverts to the detriment of thinking people everywhere.

He conflates extroversion, a defined psychological term meaning, roughly, the tendency to derive pleasure and energy from social interaction, with conversational skills. The two overlap but it doesn't take a great deal of insight to see the difference - one can have exceptional "people skills" without deriving pleasure or energy from them. I suspect that more than one of the D.C. extroverts he tried to skewer in his opening paragraph are, in fact, introverts who have simply developed their ability to communicate in an effort to get stuff done.

He then points out that there are people who prefer things to people, and that we should make room for them in society instead of fixing them. Guess what. There is already room for these people - as engineers. Nobody is hunting introverts down and shooting them in the street. We aren't having pogroms. Society has simply made a decision about what it values and has set the rules of the game, so to speak. If these thing-preferring people he mentions are smart enough, they'll figure that out and actually work on communication skills and being able to work as a team because that's how you get influence in society. Olin wants its alumni/ae to be successful and well-known after graduation, so it provides opportunities for students to develop these traits. No conspiracy there.

For myself, since you point out that I seem to want his blessing - I don't care about his conclusions. I actually agree with them to a degree, but I take issue with the sloppy thinking he takes to get there.

tl;dr - This guy jumps to unwarranted, overdramatic conclusions about society's preference for extroverts and makes huge leaps in logic to try to justify what is essentially just his opinion.

While I do agree that stepping away from the computer helps for getting started or when you're stuck, I am more in line with people using CSS rather than Photoshop for prototyping. As the author wrote, converting thought to code is fairly easy, so by writing as I think, I free my mind from containing all the stuff I thought out already.
So what are you asking HN? There is no question here.

"Doctor, it hurts when I do this." "Don't do that."

That fact that other people can misuse a tool is a really stupid reason to not use it yourself. I've had great success in using debuggers to identify which assumption I was wrong about when the code did something unexpected. If you're so awesome that you never make bad assumptions about your code... you're probably not pushing yourself hard enough. Perhaps that's your job's fault. I'm pushing myself to my limits in my job, and I'll take all the help I can get.

Your point is valid, but those in the US often have a highly distorted view of IT salaries anywhere else if you just translate US dollar salaries into the native currency.

The going rate for a senior software engineer who is decent but doesn't have particularly specialised skills, in the UK but outside London, is probably somewhere between £45k and £60k depending on where in the country you are. In London, you probably shift everything up by £5k-£15k depending on the job and conditions.
