I'm really happy where I'm contracting at the moment, but like to apply for challenging-looking roles. Two big benefits here:

a) If somewhere offers you a lot money, you can take that back to your current employer. I've had a 30% payrise from that before on my day rate.

b) Slightly bigger companies with big pockets are often hiring 'unofficially'. That means if they know you and like you, they're often willing to employ you. If you've applied for a job, but turned it down while being very very positive about the company, you've got a set of contacts there to email when you current contract doesn't get renewed...

The better idiot screen on any discussion forum with a well defined subject scope would be a factual knowledge test. But the factual knowledge test wouldn't maintain the existing community if the existing community already has "hivemind" about factual issues central to the forum's subject, contrary to fact. I wonder what we would all consider the subject scope of HN? Are there any issues on which the HN consensus about the facts of the real world might be contrary to "objective" fact?

It would be nice if companies simply asked for a code sample, and then asked the programmer to explain what it does, their reasoning for doing so, etc.

I have a major open source project under my belt, but I've never had an interviewer simply ask me about my code. Instead, they ask me to sort an array.
It's a matter of ease and usability. Go to any normal restaurant and the set of non-meat (read, tofu) is rather limited (read, none). Of course, I cook myself and I'm selective that I don't eat too much meat. But that's additional work. It would be great if non meat would be a more common part of the food industry. To make it easier to find / eat it. (Even the salad offerings are terrible, most of the time. The Mediterranean areas are pretty good at that, though).
With gnu tools, at least, xargs has a "-0" option to go hand in hand with gnu find's "-print0" option which obviates the spaces problem.

xargs is "better" in that it spawns 1 new process for however many things are found. -exec spawns 1 new process for EVERY thing found.

So:

find . -name '*.log' -exec rm {} \;

spawns an rm for every log file.

find . -name '*.log' -print0 | xargs -0 rm

spawns 1 rm for MANY log files. (Yes, I know zsh can do stuff like this too.)

xargs also has options to limit command line length or # of items if you want to limit that. find -exec is about the same then as find ... | xargs -n1
No guess, that's just how it is. Preliminary injunctions about community designs apply EU wide. Apple asked in their request for the injunction (German, http://www.scribd.com/doc/61993811/10-08-04-Apple-Motion-for...) to exclude the Netherlands from the injunction. Apple is suing Samsung separatly in the Netherlands.

The press you are reading seems to be exceedingly bad at its job.
As i commented over on that site, I wish we could have the best of both worlds. I'd like a UI that did a really good job of integrating command line and GUI features. Not something that just tacks them together. To do this you'd really have to think through the UI from scratch (and yes, I am interesting in trying this myself, but am currently working on other things).

When you think about it, the fact that command-lines are text-only is really just a historical artifact and it's nothing inherent to the notion of command-lines.
I know people smarter than the vast majority of HN users (how can this really be judged, sure, but I'd place money on it, certainly far, far smarter than me) who wouldn't know those, and I know many, many people who are damn smart (just not fitting them into the "smarter than most people here", but definitely smart enough to belong here if they wanted to) who also wouldn't know them.
Recession: A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy?
The "R" word is getting thrown around a lot lately. In a reaction to the S&P downgrade, stock market volatility, continued housing weakness and a mounting debt load, many fear that the U.S. is on track for another recession. Fear has paralyzed firms, households and politicians alike. Instead of reacting quickly to solve the country’s problems, the uncertainty about a potential recession has quite literally caused slow reactions, and in many cases, no reaction at all. Nicholas Bloom, a professor of economics at Stanford, has written on the paradoxical nature of this dilemma. When people are uncertain, he explains, "they wait and do nothing." Firms do not hire new employees or invest in their business. Consumers do not buy a new car, TV or refurnish their homes. As firms and households resist doing anything and continue to hold back, many analysts worry that the fear of a recession might become self-fulfilling. As the Economist recently pointed out, the Fed ought to play a stabilizing role against these behavioral shifts of firms and households. Instead of leaving the average investor guessing how the Fed will react to market volatility and a deteriorating economic environment, the Fed should establish certainty in times of doubt and restore confidence for the general public before it’s too late.
Fantastic use of WebGL. It's amazing how much can be done in browsers today. Also amazing how much it heats up my MBP!
1. What makes you believe that the UK government has a debt problem?

As long as the UK government emits gilts in pounds, they will never become unable to pay the resulting obligations. So: where exactly is the problem? Where are the Emperor's clothes?

2. What makes you believe that unusually high inflation would result if the UK government reversed its austerity stance and implemented some kind of public works program?

Inflation is largely the result of the normal processes in the economy whereby the relative valuation of different goods changes, and different actors in the economy strive to increase their share of the total income. If you actually look behind the scenes how the various inflation measures are computed, you will see that the different types of goods in the baskets used usually show quite different behavior. Most of the time, a few goods and services will be decreasing in price while the majority increases in price, though at (often vastly) different speed. So what you are really seeing is changes in relative price, which reflects changes in how goods are valued. Without this process, the market could not function properly.

This process is biased towards larger nominal prices on average for a number of reasons - mostly because it is rare that somebody voluntarily decreases their profit - but there is nothing inherently bad about that. You could think of it as the Red Queen Hypothesis of economics.

It is clear that, beyond those processes, inflation can be pushed higher by excessive aggregate demand or by increasing resource prices - price increases in the last months were dominated by energy prices.

So I could rephrase my question as: What makes you believe that turning away from austerity would create excessive aggregate demand in the UK? Keep in mind that the current context is one of high unemployment and idle factories, i.e. there is more supply capacity than is currently being used.

As a final note: I think it is quite disingenuous to jump directly from "there could be higher inflation" to "1920's Germany". Those scenarios are entirely different beasts.
I'd like to hear some justification, cites, or examples for either of these assertions.
Agreed. This is a silly story "bla bla kids living at home". People are just deciding that cable isnt worth the cost anymore.

Sitting for a very long time is bad for you. It causes increased chance of death, causes your back to hurt, makes you fatter, and lets your energy level go down after hours of doing it.

It's not so much the "coding" part as the "sitting at a desk for 10+ hours a day" part that makes standing desks so attractive to programmers.

"Then there's people who've take a slightly different career path, or chosen a job at some unknown place, yet have lots of good experience, and they're ignored because HR doesn't know what to do with them..."

I've been that guy on more than one occasion. I'm a self-taught hacker, and I made the mistake of majoring in English in undergrad. While I usually look great on paper at the hiring manager stage, I have pretty spotty luck with the HR filter. To make matters worse, I've graduated twice into very unfortunate circumstances: 1) I graduated from college into a recession (post-tech-bubble-burst); 2) I graduated from grad school into an extremely deep recession.

The necessity of my circumstances has forced me to get creative with my job searches. Hence, the "modular resume" strategy I outlined in a subsequent comment. And hence the general strategy I now take on all job searches. Conventional wisdom holds that a job search is a numbers game: get your name out there as broadly as possible, and eventually, you'll catch a few things in the net. In my case, knowing that I look iffy on paper to HR drones, I know I need higher-touch tactics. Casting a wide net won't get me many fish. I need rod and reel, so to speak.

So I'll hyper-prioritize, say, 10 openings. And then I'll really drill down on them: researching the best fit, reaching out to friends of friends, doing informational interviews, networking over a fairly long term, etc. My goal is to get the hiring manager to know me before my resume hits the HR filter. I'm dead in the water if I hit the HR filter blind. (My affinity for horrible, acquatically themed metaphors knows no limits).

In fairness, a lot of these tactics could be seen as good habits in general. But for me, they were born of necessity. So in some ways, I enjoy being an unconventional candidate. It forces me to experiment, to learn, and to adapt, and to persist.
That doesn't really mean anything. Sprint's the only CDMA carrier that's deployed WiMAX, Verizon and MetroPCS have both deployed LTE. And there's nothing implying he's talking about the same phones, so he could just as easily be talking about HSPA ("4G")
I have to agree that it's often really sad when you submit your project and get no upvote and cannot get on the front page. However, I'm not sure a different tab is the best option.
Really I think you could just get away with testing to see if the user knows the difference between an Ad Hominem and a standard insult.

There is little more annoying than someone who thinks they see logical fallacies where none exist and take the conversation from bad (real arguments intermixed with old fashioned insults) to worse (nothing but an argument from fallacy)

"I don't claim to know what an Ad Hominem is." would also be a passing response in my book...
PG didn't think it would matter too much as you can easily search for those stories if you're interested.

While some stories definitely get a lot of attention, especially the YC ones, many others however drop off without ever reaching the front page.

For many fledgling startups, the initial HN mention can be very important, and a special page for them would be very useful.
Thank you. Now, back to work :)
It's a pretty good troll, but the chances of it being true are very low. I think someone attended the excellent talk: "Femtocells: a Poisonous Needle in the Operator's Hay Stack" [1] about 3G MITM and got inspired to have a bit of a laugh.

This is so far into the "state sponsored only" realm that if you'd actually pulled it off and were bragging about it you'd provide some kind of proof instead of generic symptoms designed to make people paranoid.

I'm pretty surprised at all the media outlets that are carrying this and people taking it at face value. Anyone can write up something and send it to a mailing list - remember that full disclosure is pretty much ground zero for security trolling.

I didn't downvote you myself, but the use of the singular 'they' to denote someone of unknown gender has been in use in English since at least the time of Shakespeare (he used it in places). There was a movement a long time ago to try to make English more like Latin, removing things like the plural they, the split infinitive and so on. Nowadays, with Latin no longer regarded as the highest form of language we really don't have any reason to look down on traditional usage.

I haven't done it a lot, but I like to pace when I'm thinking about a hard problem. Having my computer at standing height means I can go straight from thinking through the problem to coding the solution without the attention shift of settling back down to a sitting desk.

Reportedly, there are also health benefits to standing rather than sitting.

I became interested in Lisp a couple of years ago after going through far too much pain with a relatively simple genetic programming exercise I wrote in C++. Since I didn't have direct access to the AST, I was mutating a string that I passed into a simple interpreter I had to write. When everything was done, I thought about how bad a choice it was to use C++ for this sort of problem because performance just wasn't as important as I thought.

I became interested in Clojure soon after that because I listened to a Rich Hickey talk where he described how languages are built on platforms in a way they weren't 20 years ago (you'd run directly on the OS and only have access to the libraries you wrote or linked in). Since I knew Java, the JVM and the libraries that come with it, I thought Clojure made the most logical choice if I was going to learn a Lisp.

I've been toying with it off and on since, and although I can't compare it to other Lisps, I can say that I think it's definitely a superior programming language to any other language I've worked with. Syntax annoys the hell out of me now.

On mine (https://github.com/drench/vagrant-base) each branch sets up a different environment (Drupal, node.js, generic "LAMP", etc.). They currently all use shell scripts for initialization, but converting them to Puppet is on the list. I may borrow from your project's Puppet manifest.

I agree with a number of the comments, I setup a business selling websites to Restaurants (another user beat me to it in mentioning it ;) ) and have now transformed it into an SaaS ( http://www.theme-force.com ).

Regarding the article; people have already touched on the main points, i.e. accessibility (html vs flash vs pdf) and content (essentials vs fluff), so there's not much to add here. However, I do feel Schema (something we've worked on a lot), will become more and more important.

Interesting. I kind of replied to the first line in an edit above, but the second one intrigues me.

Probably this just proves that my accent is crap, but for me 'then' and 'than' sound about ~the same~, ditto for 'their'/'there' and 'loose'/'lose'. Again - probably I'm just missing something here. Improving my spoken English is definitely on the list of things I want to do..
I actually doubted that was the correct word -- but didn't take time to look it up. Thanks.
Series C? Wow, you guys must be hurting. That's got to be some serious dilution.
People (in the UK at least) have grown so 'comfortable' with using SMS - I'll admit to it myself, I could easily fire up the Facebook and send a message to any one of my friends, all of whom have smartphones and would undoubtedly receive the message within a minute of it being sent.
However, for whatever reason, I'll still just send an SMS.

Apple have realised that the only way of replacing this (and eventually killing SMS) is to provide a messaging service which is inherently invisible or 'passive' from a UX point of view. Yes, it is tied into iOS, but the critical thing to consider is that users are required to put in zero effort to send an iMessage.

With this in mind, I don't see how Facebook Messenger is any different to the likes of [insert free web messaging service here], admittedly with a lot more users.
I think we need more clarity here. I would like to know what "4g" was MiTM. This makes a huge difference as it will lead to further research on that network.
FYI, you write "correctly". The only thing, grammatically, that you can do "correct" is "come correct", but that's an idiom.

I was commenting on ShakeShack's mobile website being nice from the perspective of a consumer, not from the technological implementation (I do not have experience coding in that domain).

Ask HN: server- and client-side web framework?
I've been looking around at some of the new Javascript UI frameworks (sprout core, extjs, kendoui, dojo), and been thinking about the pros and cons of js-based web apps. One that comes to mind and that I've seen mentioned elsewhere is the fact that there's a fair amount of duplication in creating code that manages your data. Ie, you need client code to receive your data from your server, and you need server code to serve your data to your client. Why hasn't someone developed a framework that address this issue? Ie, something where the developer works in one language, and then the appropriate server and client code is generated, so there's no duplication.

Does something like this already exist, and I just haven't noticed it? And if not, is this a good idea? I've been thinking about trying something like this out in a project, but I have a tendency to overlook things and go ahead doing something that I think is smart but that I later realize has some flaw that makes it not a good idea. So I wanted some other thoughts on this.
Nethogs is great when you need to determine what processes are transferring data or how much they're transferring. I got curious how it works, so I ran it through strace and looked through the source. /proc/net/tcp lists all established TCP connections. It includes local and remote addresses and ports and the inode for the socket. Nethogs sniffs traffic and associates it with its entry in /proc/net/tcp. It takes the inode from there and scans through /proc//fd/ looking for the file descripter that has that inode to determine which process has the socket open. Once it finds the process it adds it to a table of inode to process id mappings so it doesn't have to scan through /proc again the second time a packet for that connection comes through.
It could simply be Starbucks didn't want to be associated with the project, or they never gave Mobiquity permission to use their name as an endorsement. This stunt could have caused them to notice.

And this could still be the case while a marketing team at Starbucks has decided that this card is a great tool that they can sink a couple thousand dollars into slowly to get people in to Starbucks.

Like you say, it is pretty tempting to assume the worst because nobody wants to be the last person to know they've been duped.
Maybe it depends on where you're from? In my Greek head-accent "e" and "a" are very different. Same with "their" and "there" (the-ir, the-r).

When I speak, of course, they sound identical, but my spoken accent is not the accent I think in.
Nice FUD :) I obviously can't go into the details, but the fact that Couchbase is the result of a merger makes this a little different.
