However I would mind being rootkited, as it could serve as an entry point to infect other systems.
This one doesn't. It works just fine offline.
But those statistics by themselves do nothing to counter one of the key points. How do you actually know they were irrelevant? How do you know the 4 potentials weren't worth submitting?

Your commenting history suggests you might have a clue what you're doing, but this comment taken by itself could easily be from a recruiter that's part of the problem and doesn't know it. Lord knows I've never (in the US) personally encountered a recruiter that really understood the position they were trying to fill.

I'm sorry I clicked through to read that.
If you are going to predict any major actor right now of aggressively and offensively suing people into oblivion, Apple would be the obvious target of that accusation and not Microsoft.

Microsoft has enough business vested all over the place. They don't need mobile to profit. Apple's only real source of income however, is now reduced to iOS-devices only. They need mobile, desperately.

The fact that Apple is already suing left and right, right now, when their platform is going well and they technically shouldn't need to be in any state of despair, that should tell you who to fear the most.

I've actually gone so far as to have a mostly modular resume. There is no static document, per se, but a giant list of resume "modules" that can be picked and compiled into a coherent resume when the time comes.

Some modules are used pretty much all the time (name, address, education, previous jobs and titles). Others are swapped in or out (bullet points under each job, interests if applicable, etc.). I've found that customizing the resume to fit the job is worth the extra 30 minutes of hassle to compile it.

[Note that I do not advocate making shit up. Rather, I've found that sometimes even the same bullet point, phrased two different ways, can have positive or negative outcomes at two different job openings. Or sometimes Job X considers Accomplishment A very important, but Job Y considers A irrelevant. Etc.]
A joke and a farce
I honestly don't know what the masses expect companies that hire programmers to do. We're told that we're not as good of a company if programmers don't program in the interview. But then the next thing we're told is that nobody programs on a whiteboard and/or with someone watching. To help, we come up with take home exercises that are custom to us so we know the answers are real. Now this article and the parent are saying we're wasting time with these "puzzles".

When I hire, I do a phone screen before asking the candidates to complete the code exercise. If it isn't going to be a fit from either of our perspectives, then they didn't spend time doing it.
I would argue that the hypertext idea isn't relevant for an app (sorry Tim Berners-Lee). At least not as relevant as for e.g. a blog. Maybe we should talk about the hyperapp model..
Yes, I traded accuracy for recognisability, but I was struggling a bit to work out BigV's #1 USP for HNers. Maybe you could think about that a bit for the front page. To me, "Servers that grow" doesn't immediately distinguish you from Linode et al. -- even if the claim is true to an impressive extent when I read on.

Thanks! I spent half a day thinking of a better name, but I couldn't come up with one, so I just launched. I might change it later, but I'm confident (naive?) that people will find me anyway. And the icon is very recognizable.

However, I still would have liked to have a better name, so thanks.
How would that work for someone who has a job where their code is proprietary and, in their spare time, they like gardening? Or do you just automatically exclude folks who don't develop their own sites with 1000s of users?

That's an attack on something, but not by technical means.

Maybe they are planning something they need lots of people to help with and so want the publicity in advance?

Not a clue what that could be tho.

Actually, it does work. I was working in a similar group (locally and much smaller) for some time. You can reach everyone with clever and impressive actions for a simple reason: they are impressive and resonate so much that even the "enemy" has to admit that they were impressed. You won't turn anyone, but you make sure that they know someone to turn to once they do. Its an offer to talk.

Considering that exiting the right-wing circle often involves ditching most of your friends, someone to talk is the most important asset "on the other side".
My own experiences have shown me that the bigger the company, the more convoluted and delayed the hiring process. I've had the resume-interview-hire cycle happen the span of a few days at smaller firms. More recently, a larger company called me to offer me a position some three months after my interview, and the position offered wasn't even what I had interviewed for.
Thanks, I'm going to look into this.

Absolutely. I love Vagrant. Last night one of my virtual machines flaked out, and because everything was managed with Puppet, I just deleted the VM and told vagrant to recreate.

10 minutes later I was back in business like nothing happened.

Had a physical machine of mine failed it would have been a fun few hours of machine debugging, instead of "oh, I'll just destroy and recreate the VM, no biggy"

Oh. Apple will litigate aggressively, of course. But Nokia is clearly moving towards becoming either a target for acquisition as a whole or, after dismemberment, its patent portfolio is. Microsoft won't do it openly, however. It's more likely they'll employ proxies for that, not unlike the way they funded SCO's campaign. Besides, we are talking about Nokia's current relationship with Microsoft, not Apple.

Don't you think it's a bit suspicious a recently hired CEO who was until recently a high profile Microsoft employee discontinues a major platform investment on the eve of launching a competitive product (I have played with the N9 and it's a very good phone) and bets the company on a yet-unproven (and I am being more than generous on this assessment) Microsoft product?
In some countries many people have SIM-only contracts and buy their own unlocked phones from a third party.

I would argue this is the norm in most of Europe, not just "some countries".

Only where the telcom business have gone completely unregulated for too long, have the USesque system of carriers controlling phones taken hold.

The surcharge has nothing to do with which country's store you use. Users in UK/Germany/Switzerland/Austria (and Lichtenstein?) do not have to pay the extra fee regardless of whether they use .com, .co.uk or .de. Users in other European countries pay it no matter what.

Possible. The Nokia patent portfolio in the hands of an NPE partly funded by Microsoft would be able to do a whole lot of very selective damage.
How do you actually know they were irrelevant? How do you know the 4 potentials weren't worth submitting?

I'm a former developer. I'm currently teaching myself Python. I listen and understand my clients needs. I'm not afraid to ask a client or candidate to elaborate on a point I don't understand. Essentially I don't think that it's necessary for a recruiter to claim to know everything about every technology as I believe from experience that a lot of employers find honesty refreshing.
Alternate Title: Apple have finally seen sense & started buying Windows PCs. ;)
The only reasonable way to get hired by a big company is to have someone on the inside who can short circuit the process on your behalf. Last time I worked for a big company, the only person I dealt with was my future boss and he managed to circumvent the standard HR process and sneak me in through the back door.
Nokia is going Windows-only in America because that's the only way they can get the carriers to go along

So basically Nokia is only playing by the rules of the market, and the real problem is US carriers abusing their position. The real problem is US carriers, again.

So much bullshit stems from the way US carriers completely obliterates and perverts the free market, that you would think some government regulation would be heading their way sooner or later. Interesting how that haven't happened yet.

There are lots of problems in this and no real solutions. If there were real, easy, or plausible solutions, they would already be here.

I think this is largely the point the author is making, if subtly - that the solution is hard, so we aren't bothering.

The author says, "We kick twenty percent of our kids out of school illiterate, innumerate and socially dysfunctional . . .", as if... what? Those kids can be made more literate by more time in the school system that's had them for 13 – 16 years?

I'm not sure that's the suggestion - the author talks about being involved in various types of different forms of education (including adult). There are ways to do outreach and give these people options. Some are in place. Most are understaffed.

How much of the responsibility is the schools, and how much is the individual's or the parents'?

A bit of everything I think. I know a few inner city school teachers, and most despair at an inability to get through to the kids. By the time they are 8-10 they are already tied into the downward spiral - by poor early education, their parents and their peers. Cutting that cycle requires something dramatic or radical (for example; getting locked up, which is why you hear about youth offenders who were "converted" and make a success of themselves - once kicked out of the cycle and forced to seriously consider their future they made an upward choice).

One of the saddest things I have ever seen were the personal statements I was shown once, for 16 year olds. They simply did not seem to grasp the concept of achievement beyond "I got a GCSE"; largely because no one has taught them that achievement doesn't simply mean academic qualifications.

And these were kids who cared, that actually wanted to go further than the dole.
I should have been clearer. My idea would be to offer services that hackers/web business would be interested in. Basically, if you work as a consultant or freelancers and read this site, your service is very likely what I would try to promote.

Just as a starting point, I'd want to know how many shares are outstanding, are the shares dilutable, is this a grant or an option (where you don't have shares per se but you have the ability to buy them from the company)? If it's an option, what's the strike price (the price you buy them at)?

I'm not even very knowledgeable about this, but just knowing a number of shares tells you about as much as if a baker offered you "pieces of cake". There's just not enough information present.

sometimes ... they still don't get their easy

That's because in software development, shit that seems easy ain't easy at all, especially when dealing with real people that have to use your shit.

I don't usually appeal to an authority argument, but considering that your statement is just a vague rant without any references or facts or even anecdotal evidence, I do have to ask ... what have you done in your carrier that is more challenging than doing a Facebook or a Twitter?

The amount of terrible UI or just simply bugs in
Twitter is a joke

Considering how popular these services are, you should really consider the possibility that their UIs are in fact quite effective.
Don't you think it's a bit suspicious a recently hired CEO who was until recently a high profile Microsoft employee discontinues a major platform investment on the eve of launching a competitive product (I have played with the N9 and it's a very good phone) and bets the company on a yet-unproven (and I am being more than generous on this assessment) Microsoft product?

I haven't tried the N9 so I cannot comment on it nor the platform which powered it, only that historically, Nokia's only edge has been good hardware. They have been (and still are, as far as I have seen) absolutely horrible at software.

I would trust a platform made by Microsoft infinitely more than anything coming out of Nokia HQ, and that is despite all the failings of Microsoft in the mobile and tablet space.

Now... With that said: There is no doubt that by going the Microsoft route Nokia is losing something. They are now a generic phone-vendor delivering someone else's OS. They no longer fully own their own platform and stack.

This is quite a significant loss and definitely a big risk. However: Given Nokia's history with delivering software and software-platforms, I think it's a smaller risk than trying (once again) to deliver something made in-house.

And I really don't find it "suspicious" that a recently hired CEO choose to turn to technology and people he already know. I find it a very obvious move, even though it's not very obvious if it is the best choice or not.

A) How many of those people who run their own products with thousands of users come looking for a job with you? (or, perhaps, 'ran' in the past tense)

B) How do you know they programmed that app with thousands of users even remotely well? Did they store passwords in plaintext? Does it need to be reboot every 5 mins? Is it slow as molasses, but hidden behind load balancing?

Someone could have written awesome sites with 1000s of users and loads of revenue, but it might still have been done like crap, and doesn't belong anywhere on your network.
As a happy user of HTC Android phones, I've been following the HTC case with some interest. After HTC's setback at the ITC, I decided to take a look at the patents in question and was appalled. Since then, I've been banging this particular drum every time these lawsuits come up because it is a perfect example of exactly how broken everything is.
If you're running a modern Linux desktop, you should have a "notify-send" command which will cause a message to be displayed by your desktop-environment's pop-up notification system (on Ubuntu, this command is in the libnotify-bin package). I have two scripts I keep around which I call "notify-success" and "notify-failure":

notify-success:

notify-send --icon=gtk-dialog-info Success! "$*"

notify-failure:

notify-send --icon=gtk-dialog-warning Failure! "$*"

When I want to run a long-running command and don't want to have to keep checking on it, I'll do something like this:

make -j3 && notify-success "Build complete" || notify-failure "Build failed"
This is very cool. I thought that having your position continuously logged was kind of neat. Incidentally, I also launched my first app about a week ago, and it's also kind of geek-friendly: save notes and photos with location, and back them up to Picasaweb and Google's Fusion Tables (private repository of info accessible with SQL-like syntax over http and exportable to many formats, including CSV). Kind of frustrating so far, got around 950 downloads when it was in the first 100 of France for a day, then back to about 2 to 10 a day.
