Team-player != team leader.

She seems like someone who gets stuff done without making a fuss. In Belbin's Team Inventory, she'd be either be a Teamworker or a Specialist.

A group of people who are all self-promoters smoothing each other's feathers is not a team.

I'm guessing she's self-taught, with no qualifications to show. Hopefully, she can give some overview of what she's been doing in the last 10 years, though. Maybe she doesn't want to share it on a public CV? I'm guessing she's only worked for small companies / non-IT companies, thus her quip about not having smarter engineers around.

Anyway, she seems like a team player, but not much of a career-builder.

My main issue - she says "The traditional job search method seems to penalize me because I'm not very traditional." Why? No degree? No connections (um, just cold call people - you don't need connections to google nearby companies, and track down a project manager)? She gets nervous at technical interviews? Or is she just an emo kid who thinks she's somehow different?

A Git user’s first (and hopefully last) foray into SVN-land
I can only assume that they are not allowed to, due to copyright imposed by the journals.

This is probably true. Whenever I have published articles (I am a mathematician), I have been asked to sign some long agreement which I only skimmed. We have some rights to publish and distribute our work... but not unlimited... something complicated...

In practice, I just put copies of all of my papers on my website where anyone can download them. I have many colleagues who do the same, and many colleagues who are more scrupulous about following the journals' rules. In any case, I don't know of any scholars who have gotten into trouble for distributing their own work.

They've already clamped down on model rocketry as a hobby. I wouldn't be surprised to see restrictions on flying devices capable of carrying payloads larger than a certain size.

Ask HN: Where are the Functional Relational Programming languages?
This [great paper][OutOfTheTarPit] was mentionned in a previous [HN discussion][PapersForProgrammers].

It introduced me to the idea of Functional Relational Programming (not to be confused with Functional Reactive Programming), an approach to minimizing complexity in software.

I looked around to find an implementation of this approach and found nearly nothing (except [these][FRP_Scheme] [two][FlowJS] posts on the frp-discuss google group).

Is there any fundamental reason why this idea has not received more attention ? Is somebody working in an implementation of these ideas ?

I wasn't sure from the title if the article was about:

1. Facebook paying security researchers to find and report vulnerabilities.

2. Facebook paying (in user data, public image, and lawsuits) for vulnerabilities exploited by malicious security researchers.

It's the former. As such, it reminds me of the "What does $1265 of bugs look like?" discussion recently at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2927914 , where the author of open-source software paid between $1 and $50 for various bug levels. Does it make any sense for a company like Facebook to offer tiny bounties on code style, spelling errors, and harmless bugs?

A professor emeritus recently sent me an article to publish on my web magazine. The turnaround time was around 18 hours and he replied to express his surprise at how quickly his piece was published. In contrast, he has had an article pending at an academic journal for three years now.
One solution that I think has a ton of merit is using github-pages.

You create an account on github and add a repository that is the same as your username. You can then set up a CNAME record (which you'll point your DNS too) and can host the pages using a custom domain name.

The beauty of it, is the pages are static, super-fast. No problems if you ever get HN'd, TechCrunched, Reddited.

A beautiful example is http://zachholman.com/
and you can see his github-pages repository here: https://github.com/holman/holman.github.com

As a fellow hacker who has trouble being verbally eloquent during interviews with technical details, I must say: get over it. Interviewing is a skill, and you have to actually prepare, rehearse your responses and talking points, and develop an ability to talk at length about your technology of choice. It's not an inherited trait.

University libraries are still mostly money grabbers aswell, but are slowly changing.

In the 1830s Ireland was mapped to a great detail (for tax purposes) of 1:6500ish. These maps would still be very helpful for OpenStreetMap, and are obviously outside copyright. A few Irish universities have them (e.g. Trinity Map Library, a copyright deposit library for Ireland & the UK), however they charge €50,000ish for a copy of the digitial scans of the full set. Other libraries are similar.

Universities really are not pro-sharing
The author jumps in to what I see as linear algebra (matrix manipulation) in part 3, and more heavily in part 4 (rotating axes).

The first two parts are a necessary foundation. Yes, it's basic vector stuff, but not everyone gets that vectors can be represented as matrices.
First, I don't think what you show is a DSL -- it's just some functions. Rather, what Tim has implemented is a DSL.

Second, you need proxies to handle things like functions and mutable arrays.

Third, that there's a DSL for describing contracts is, I think, a large part of the point.
This isn't the first time something like this has happened. I don't know if they did it in response to any one particular incident, but they have every reason in the world to implement something like that.

I heard an interesting argument from my advisor (a very famous mathematician). I strongly disagree with it, but it is the only argument I have heard for keeping this system in place.

His argument was the following: In many fields such as laboratory science, research is expensive; one has to apply for grants and then spend the money, and these departments have large budgets, and this all looks good to deans. If a department is going through a lot of money, then it must be prestigious, important, and doing good work.

I heard a joke once that mathematicians are the second-cheapest academics to hire because all we require is a pencil, paper, and a wastebasket. But, in fact, we require online access to all these journals, for which we have to spend a ton of money. Spending all this money makes us look good to our deans, and lends prestige and the look of importance to our department, and allows us to compete with other departments for resources.

I think it's a bunch of BS, frankly, but it's the one time I heard the existing system defended, so perhaps it's worth bringing up.
> Nopublicdomainistan

Anyone said Germany? The concept of the "Urheberrecht" which many people falsly translate to copyright (it's more of a creator-right) is that you can not relinquish it in Germany. It's kinda like your mother can not "un-mother" herself from you ;)

That's why there's no real Public Domain in its purest form possible in Germany.

> clearly the author is never going to come after them. so what is the actual real world problem they face in this situation

The real problem is: A lack of legal certainty. You can not use PD in any bigger project if it is _possible_ that the original author might come after you.
It does seem very odd that there was no difference between high-quality and low-quality black candidates, but I'll guess at an explanation: employers are suspicious of black achievement because of affirmative action and similar programs. It's harder to know if a black applicant "earned" his accomplishments or not, because they're more likely to be given undeserved grades, accomplishments, opportunities, etc.

And I think all you need for evidence that this is true is ... this study! The failure of an employer to interview enough black candidates is considered by many to be prima facie evidence of racism. (Just look at the comments here. Likewise, giving more failing grades to black students is racist.) So-many people are desperate to avoid looking racist, and black students/employees/etc. get a lot of little advantages as a result. Some of these are harmless (well performing black guy gets first crack at a new position, rather than well performing white guy), but some of them aren't (now-poorly-performing black guy doesn't get fired/demoted from new position).

Or everybody's racist.

1) Architecture. Understanding what the actual hardware is doing when you walk through a program. Knowing this can help answer questions like: Why does a variable go out of scope? When a data file might benefit from an index.

2) Algorithms. Learning the math behind why one approach is significantly faster can change the way you think about solving problems.

3) Approach. More advanced thinking around handling information. Why might you use a btree vs a linked list etc. Can I achieve the same result using less memory?
> She thinks she's smarter than almost everyone she's met.

I understand the trepidation about that one, I really do, but yet I can almost understand. I'd like to think that I have some programming chops, but I have no deliusions that I'm an elite developer. Yet, if we take that statement to be limited to the context of a workforce, I can largely relate. Outside of a scant few people I've had the privilege of working with I haven't really been the recippient of much knowledge. I don't take this as a compliment to my self so much as a commentary on the relative lack of knowledge in the majority of large IT organizations.

That being said, it's incumbent on her to expose herself to the elites. I've met many in the meetup scene and have benefitted greatly from their expertise.
Anecdotally, flying yesterday when I went through security I declined the scanner and was simply waved through a regular metal detector. I also did not remove my belt or shoes. Kind of a pre 9/11 screen. 2 months ago at the same airport I got the full-on scrotum poke.

> I thought this article was pointing out how racial prejudice around 'athleticism and blacks' was out right false.

That's what the article wants to do, but it doesn't succeed. We know that elite "black" athletes are the best. Maybe the average black athlete is worse than the average white, but there's no evidence of that presented. It could be that blacks have a larger standard deviation, or it could be that blacks have a higher mean. The author couldn't be bothered to actually try and answer that question.

If you overexpose that part of the sensor, it simply records the maximum value. Then when you "dim" it later, you just get a blank grey area. In order to extract detail, you have to maintain some contrast between "bright" and "really bright", so you have to keep the "bright" area below the maximum value of the sensor.

Well, thing is, Linear Algebra isn't matrix manipulation. Matrices are just one aspect of Linear Algebra - it's like saying that symbols such as 'x', 'y' and 'z' are "Algebra."

Matrices are representations of (linear) transformations between Linear Spaces. Linear Algebra is talking about the Linear Spaces, and manipulating matrices is sort-of like finding roots of or factoring polynomials.

Which brings me to your second part. Vectors are elements of vector spaces. Matrices are transformations between vector spaces. The one is not the other, and while there are similarities and overlap (and sometimes identifying aspects of each to the other is useful), conflating the two at an early stage is a recipe for getting no further than simple matrix manipulation. If that's all you want then that's OK, but you miss out on a lot of insights that can be really valuable and make you stand out from the crowd.

But remember, I'm saying this as a mathematician, and my terminology will be different. I mostly want to make people aware that they are using terms in a different way, and open the opportunity for the kind of confusion I've suffered for decades.
Bought the book immediately - I don't think I've ever bought something so quickly!

This is a book whose value is very clear - if you're working in the field of embeddable widgets (as I am), you know how "hack-ish" and tricky a field it is. The Disqus people have managed to make a great product despite this - any tricks I can learn from them that will make my life easier will be worth tons.

I agree with jwr - SEO is a big topic which I know nothing about, except feeling vaguely uneasy since I know we're losing a lot of SEO opportunities with our widget. Definitely a topic that should be covered in the book.

This might be a niche topic, but how about talking about advertising inside widgets in the book? Advertising is a method that many widgets use to monetize, but I'm unclear how well the standard Google adwords, etc. solutions work with embeddable widgets.

I've been using Chrome for Mac ever since it was in early, buggy developer builds. I was using Safari before that, but only because Firefox on OS X sucks.

For Windows, on the otherhand, I love Firefox so much. I do fine it's performance and UI so much better. Chrome sucks with lots of tabs open and the UI just bores me.
The OP could just have used git-svn. While it's not totally perfect, it allows him to have the feature branches he likes so much and it would allow him to do (local) rebases to clean his commits.

I did so in our project for a long time (about a year - never had issues) until I was sufficiently sure that everybody was on the boat for git, so I could be anal about the quality of my commits and use git to its fullest while everybody else could continue to use svn.

Of course once we needed public branches, everybody had to move to git because as I'm used to saying "while SVN perfect for branching, it just plain can't do merges" and from time to time, you just got to merge, so you should probably be using a system which actually allows you to.

My thoughts on why I would want to mod something very popular is because I would almost immediately have a following if my product is good. Also, I'd be able to create a mod that has functionality that I desire, and I'd get the satisfaction out of using it. And lastly, I don't know if this is always true, but it certainly makes you feel more elite changing the behavior of someone else's code rather than my own. There may be other reasons I haven't mentioned.
On my AMS to SFO flight around two months ago the scanners were operational.

The funny thing is that in the US they have this complicated process "to protect the passengers pricacy" where the person viewing the pictures is located in a special room. The personal directly dealing with the passengers never sees the pictures but just receives an Ack or Nak for each passenger.

In Amsterdam the displays are located directly on the scanners for everyone to see. The makes the whole thing much faster and I think Europeans do not really care about this as much as Americans.
In my experience, using a system that tries to bridge between two technologies like Git and SVN will result in having to deal with a lot more weirdnesses than each technology individually.

In general, the amount of bullshit you'll have to deal with from a piece of software is inversely proportional to the number of users of that software. And the number of users of git-svn is much lower than both SVN's and Git's.
