No very few people uses those sites anymore, the jobs are not there. That is the point the other posters are making, the world has moved on, Linked-In and other sites have become the hotbed of activity for recruiting. Headhunters are just scouring the cracks of the internet (Dice, Monster) to find resources that have not been put in front of these organizations, in hopes that they get a hit. They are playing a numbers game. Tech unemployment is officially at 2.7% and I think most on this site would agree, it feels like it's somewhere around that number.

Anybody who initially supported SOPA, has to come out against SOPA to win any browny points as far as I am concerned. Dropping support is just weak and non-believable.

Yeah I have to agree with you there, it would be hard for me to believe that Walmart would not cut high pay developers at the first opportunity. I remember AT&T forcing my paraplegic developer buddy to train his Indian replacement or face instant termination. To me Walmart seems like the same kind of, eternal quest for profit type organization.
> This is a compiler we're talking about. Having a "deal with it" attitude is not a good thing to have. If there's a kernel bug that causes a crash would you also say "deal with it" or would you ask the creators to fix it?

It's not a bug. It's undefined behaviour for a compiler intrinsic.

I had a friend at school who had phenomenal spatial awareness, but was dyslexic and had trouble with maths, while I find the maths relatively easy but only have good spatial awareness. Together, we could design and build things neither of us would be able to make work on our own -- with my friend being the driving force, as he only needed help in getting his ideas to work, while I had more trouble getting the ideas in the first place.

I would and have suggested, to take basic logic gates and create a 'simple lisp' (what is that actually?) on top of those. It'll take you 'a while', but it's definitely possible and after that you can simply count the logic gates you used. Strictly speaking the question is wrong ; what is a simple lisp, what features are required etc etc, then it's answerable by actually designing it from scratch with logic gates. Of course it also will depend on how good you are at actually implementing such basic systems; I've seen CPUs built from logic gates in college which had wildly different numbers of gates between the teams. You can do a crap job with anything ;) Still you would have an indication.
Thanks so much for this. This will be incredibly useful for me (behind the GFW, which gets moody about Wikipedia pretty often). Could this easily periodically update itself to grab fresh versions of articles? I think that would be a great feature, especially if you could do it without having to pull down the whole database each time you wanted to update, instead just updating on an article-by-article basis.
Out of curiosity, why no remote development positions. In today's market, getting the best talent available at the time is better served by broadening your geographic reach. I am interested in why more large organizations are not embracing remote developers given the maturity of technologies such as Skype and Basecamp.

And while salary is one lever Target can fiddle with, it certainly isn't the only one.

I would argue set high enough it is the only lever. Many that play the start up game do so because first and foremost, there is the chance to earn far more than they can at an organization like Target. Sure it's a long shot but, there is at least the chance, if large organizations started to cross that chasm. I believe that they would indeed start to attract talent. If one could become moderately wealthy working for Target then a lot of people would choose that option, sure it's not the fame and fortune of making it in a start up, but a road somewhere in the middle is a road I would imagine that many developers would be willing to travel.
It is not as fast as it could be. It is an implementation of ordinary hash table, meaning that also a successful search requires comparing two strings several kB long. What I propose is to reduce ALL symbols to their hashes (SHA1 is 20 bytes) and to "dehash" them only after linking has been done.

Collision in hashes is of only theoretical interest when you consider SHA1 or SHA256.

That’s pretty horrible but also nothing new. Lego Scala (basically Barbie dolls from Lego, late 90s, early 2000s) was much, much worse†.

What they are selling now are at least real and interesting Lego sets. You can actually build something. In that respect they are very similar to the Paradisa line of Lego sets (early to mid 90s)∆.

Not that that makes it any better, but we shouldn’t pretend like that’s a recent development.

Yes, also a basic understanding of how regex works under the hood is really helpful in cementing the concept (and also understanding things like why you can't properly parse HTML with them alone).

So I'm talking about stuff like NFAs (nondeterministic finite state automata) DFAs (deterministic finite state automata).These concepts are nowhere near as complicated as their names make them sound they are in fact generally quite intuitive, a reasonable grounding in basic set theory will help you here.

It will also give you a much better understanding of how programming languages are interpreted 'under the hood', in fact one of the first things any compiler/interpreter does to your code is essentially run it through a fancy regex engine.

This leads you on to making realizations not only about the performance implications of pattern matching in text, but they are also keys to solving a variety of problems in a simple way.

In reference to a specific text, I learned the concept from the early chapters of 'the dragon book' but I'm sure gentler introductions are available.

Count Down Begin~Lost Yourself in Mesmerizing Carnival of New Year 2012
The most important influence throughout was of course Wirth’s insistence on
simplicity of design, which finally seems to be finding a resonance in the world of
computing. I believe that Wirth’s ultimate impact will be felt even stronger ten years
from now than it is today, and that the legacy of his accomplished career devoted to
The Art of Simplicity will be enduring.

Simplicity is so underrated in this industry. I once went on an interview, where the developers at the company, insisted that I had to know every obscure detail of a languadge to be a master. To which I replied that clever code does not make it elegant code and by opting for fringe programming practices, over simpler more elegant solutions, that they where, in fact, unnecessarily complication their development process. The lesson seemed to go over their head and needless to say they where not interested in my advice. It's funny, in my experience, I have seen the developers that consistently deliver, usually parallel the developers that provide the simplest, most elegant solutions. Gold plating is such a problem in our industry, it is nice to see someone adhere to the doctrine of simplicity. It is an art unto itself.
Anyone interested in this should probably read Seymour Papert's _Mindstorms_: there are multiple routes to mathematical ability. (As well as, of course, other abilities). Mentions the story of a child he observed who he believed was turned mathophobic by school — ironically due to his high verbal ability. The school actively penalized a verbal route to math which likely would've served him best.
So when does work start on the one that will be angled for use in the real world, you know like Java, C, C++, python, Haskell and other languages?

thats a good one on regular expressions. He also has a good one about SQL - it's incomplete, but what is done is very sweet.
I'm also trying to go the same path as you. I know a bunch of java and python but when I look at the source code of just about anything I don't understand what anything is doing, and it's very frustrating, so I'm trying to build a very simple framework in python from scratch - but I've no idea how to go about it. I got a million texts but no idea how to connect them.

How TeX friends celebrate New Year: Letting fireworks explode with TeX and TikZ
Rod Johnson shares some of the lessons he learned as an entrepreneur.
The guy says he's worked in the industry for years; presumably he knows about REST and ping.

I read his plea in exactly the opposite way -- instead of learning more of (or about) these tools, he's after fundamentals.

In my opinion, the "fundamentals" are just decisions made by concrete people to address concrete concerns (at the time). Understanding them is understanding the motivations behind them. So it's as much a history lesson as it is technical.

Some of those people and decisions may be lost in time, like tears in the rain, but most have been documented. For a "networking" example, see this recent HN thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3407777 and the discussion there.
I'm not sure how much blame can be placed on Congress for this. What they receive as protection money is a pittance compared to the effect their laws can have, and this is why lobbying is such lucrative investment now - you can't beat the returns. Moreover, it isn't outright bribes most of the time although it might seem like it; actually transferring money from campaign coffers to personal accounts is of course illegal and difficult to get away with. Most don't bother. (That is not to say that Congressmen don't take advantage of their position for financial gain in other ways.)

Big corporations want it this way. They have money, and the more they can conflate money and speech in the business of government, the better off they'll be. Don't confuse members of Congress with people who have considerable power over what the American government does. But I don't know if the right course of action is for tech companies to compete with more entrenched interests in the lobbying game. Not for any particular reason, but it seems to me that while lobbying is the lever the ruling class currently uses to control government, if tech companies - who for the most part are young upstarts and not part of the establishment - try to subvert that, then the groups actually in charge will just switch to something else and they'll have wasted resources. Perhaps in the short term for particular things it might be a good idea, but only to bide time. The problem isn't going to be truly solved until the existing order is defeated completely and overthrown - until then expect further and more well-funded assaults on all personal liberties technically and otherwise.

From Silicon Valley, instead of more focus on lobbying and influence in Washington, I'd prefer to see emerge a robust alternative to the centralized internet, one that is inherently unregulatable, for technical reasons, rather than just granted some measure of indulgence for the time being.

Thinking of government as a protection racket is an interesting angle, by the way. Not in the sense of Congress extorting money for campaign finance, but in the sense of the government demanding taxes in exchange for a justice system and a military, and coming down hard on you if you don't pay. This is not to say that it's such a bad thing.

That's not very realistic and they almost certainly don't have the money for it. Moreover, increasing salary nets diminishing returns for motivating people after a certain point, and if it sucks to work for you, then no matter how much you pay, people are going to get bored and frustrated and leave.

I would be hard pressed to believe that they do not have the money for it, while I was at Marriott I doubled our budget for salary and did not change head count. I raised salaries above market rate and used some of it for merit based bonuses. It was very effective in recruiting and retaining talent. It was not the only thing that I did, but money cannot be discounted as a motivating factor. I will cede to your point that it the place flat out sucks even an astronomical amount of money may not retain your talent. But I am giving them the benefit of the doubt that they are mediocre at worst.

I'm using Perl 6 "in the real world". I use it on my spare time. I use it at work. I have production code running in Perl 6. I use Perl 5 even more heavily, but with each month I use Perl 5 a little less and Perl 6 a little more.

No. I wouldn't say he is unpopular, but Charles is definitely less popular than the Queen, particularly due to the Diana/Camilla situation.

Unbelievable. HN is inundated with threads talking about how useless a college degree is. And now we have people trying to defend what appears to be an incredibly pathetic act of plagiarism.

This isn't a case of someone copying and pasting and forgetting to put in quotes. This is an act of apparent extreme brain atrophy...he had to WORK to copy this moronic essay and to alter it in a superficial way from the original, all the while having no ability to tell parody from truth.

And you want to give this person a mulligan, as if this kind of act has no bearing on ehat you would consider his puported "real" work? Jesus, our society really is heading towards Idiocracy?

In an ideal world plagiarists would always be caught and always be failed. No need for dire consequences. Just no rewards. In the real world, most plagiarists are never punished even if they are caught. If you're a TA or prof and you think you've been given plagiarized work, you need to have iron-clad proof before you can even think about breathing the 'P' word. You can easily wind up in as much trouble as the student if your proof isn't solid! You have very little to go on if the student is at least smart enough to paraphrase and avoid copy/pasting complete sentences. I've been given work I was 99% sure was plagiarized but, since I couldn't prove it, I couldn't do anything more than give it a low grade. Even when you can prove plagiarism has occurred, you're in for a lot of extra work. Usually it's easier to just talk to the student and tell them to withdraw from your class.

Since plagiarists are so hard to catch and punish, it's important to make examples of the ones who are caught. You can argue that this was "just class homework", but students who plagiarize homework are the same ones who hire ghost-writers to do a one-off term paper or thesis for them. If they can get by without doing the unimportant work, odds are they won't learn how to do the important work.

In this case, absolutely make this kid's life hell. It doesn't matter if he only cheated that one time or if that's how he got his entire degree. What's important is that other students see that plagiarism can come back to haunt them long after they've gotten their degrees. The student's profs ought to be made to sweat a little too. Missing or failing to punish plagiarism is entirely forgivable for the reasons I have stated above. Giving a passing grade to an obvious joke paper shows that they were negligent, and that's another matter entirely.
Yes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boliviana_negra
I don’t understand your lack of empathy.

I agree: It’s a pathetic act of plagiarism and he should fail the class for it. If he didn’t, then his teachers made a serious mistake. If he could get away with it, then that’s pretty fucked up.

If this is a one time thing I see no reason not to forgive it after he has failed the class. And if it’s not a one time thing he would fail classes all the time and he wouldn’t be able to get a degree anyway. That’s assuming his teachers are competent.

That’s all I’m saying.
Have empathy man. Empathy.
That could be the case with some people, but cheating is not that rife. The amount of rubbish programmers is massive. There are loads of students who don't cheat, and can't programme, but can get a CompSci degree.
