Looking for: Work in Berlin, Germany

Hi, I'm Kelsey, I am an Illustrator who is looking for work in Berlin, Germany. It would be important for someone to support a Visa for me whilst I'm there.

I can work in a variety of styles and perspectives, i.e isometric. I would like to create art for social games, movies, etc. I am trained in traditional illustration that can be used for children's books, advertisements, and whatever else you need done.

This is my portfolio: http://www.taxidermyrobot.com (It doesn't include my most recent work with iOS games and isometric art, NDAs...)

If you are interested in my work or know someone in Germany looking for an artist like me, please contact me: kelseysbass@gmail.com
Great read, it's interesting that they built such a big game and trimmed so much:

"Diablo II took more than 40 people and over three years, essentially because we made two or three games and pared them down to the best one."

They dogfooded:

"We strive to hire people who love games, and we make games that we want to play. ... As a team, we don't have to wonder what our audience wants, because we are our audience."

While I never got into the original Diablo, I spent too much time in Diablo 2 LOD. As the article talks about, there is so much variety in builds for each character class. The game was made to be addictive so that "There's always a quest that is almost finished, a waypoint almost reached, an experience level almost achieved, and a dungeon nearly cleared out."

Pygments ignores pull requests - what can be done?
I use http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/key-chord.el to great effect. Lets you bind arbitrary commands to arbitrary keystrokes. For instance, I have switch-buffer bound to Z+X, which is just a short distance away and more efficient than C-x b for my tastse.
It'd be cool if we could ship internationally. What would be even cooler is if we could inspire entrepeneurs in other countries to tackle it!

I was hoping to get support for a new language merged to enable GitHub syntax highlighting but Pocoo never responds to IRC or their issues tracker. Unfortunately GitHub only uses the main Pygments releases so I am kind of stuck as far as ever getting my language added. I see some people have been waiting 6 months with no response as well.

Any suggestions?

I tried the service and I am sorry to say that it is really just awful. I don't want to be mean, but it seems to pick a random sample of sentences. Great idea, poor execution.

Much of the media attention has probably been around the fact that he is 16. If Google engineers released this, they'd get laughed at.
Yep. See comment above.
Thank you. While I've encountered the lies online, it's another kind of shocking when it's to your face, with cameras rolling. I learned a valuable lesson, albeit a depressing one -- I'll be ready the next time. Granted, I'd much rather be thinking about my startups right now, but so it goes.
This is a really great addition to iTunes U. Skipping through the videos, the course appears to give a thorough treatment to the theoretical background of probability. I haven't seen too many intro probability courses explore topics such as Beta Distributions and Markov Chains with this much rigor. I hope Harvard does the same for Stat 111 and Stat 171.

Edit: I just skimmed through some of the assignments and tests, and thought they are really good! If its been a few years since you took probability/statistics and feel you may be rusty when it comes to the integration and manipulations, give them a try! Homework 9 and 10, especially.

I do not deny that there is probably some foul play on Microsoft's part, but there was also a time when Microsoft was just a player among others and made it to be the one preferred by the enterprises, and then the general public.

I don't think BeOS would have got very far even if there was no deals against it. After all, there was no massive support from publishers to develop for it, and an OS without software remains a small, niche market. Windows was already huge at the time.

Now, I agree there are probably better OSes out there (either Linux distributions or others) but it all boils down to "what is the platform people develop for". Mass acceptance requires your OS to be able to run enterprise applications, modern games, and to run flawlessly (or at least without major issues) on a good range of hardware. It is very difficult to pull this off unless you have a great amount of ressources nowadays.

Is there any way to watch this without iTunes? I don't use it and have no desire to join Apple's 'ecosystem'.
OP here. I was actually surprised to see this accepted as a new post on HN. I thought news redirected reposts to the page of the original post. Google actually shows three links

It shouldn't, but it's shocking how many companies don't encrypt passwords before storing them in the db.
This story really provoked poor reactions on Slashdot, Hacker News and other supposedly "meritocracy"-oriented communities.

I don't have the evidence to support this, but my educated guess is that a proportion of it is driven by the fact that it was a Pakistani (and presumably Muslim) girl.

The meme pool for Pakistan and Muslims in general is driven by the terrorism / fear narrative; masking one's prejudice and engage in a self-satisfactory public bashing is easy when we also have a competing meme (Microsoft as borg) that can be used to mask the ugly aspects of it.

The other alternative (that people really do hate Microsoft so much that they would make these comments about a dead child) is so childish that I can't bring myself to believe it. It would be morally equivalent to.. well, cheering for people dying without health care. IE: A small group of people so wrapped in a narrative that they can't bring themselves to see how abhorrent their beliefs have become to the majority around them. Are those people us?

Considering that 90% of success is showing up, and the next 9% is avoiding obvious failure paths, Zappos is doing pretty well here.

Lots of room for improvement above and beyond these two points, sure, but at least they're not falling victim to the classic blunders.

Disallowing international sales means they'll probably also avoid getting involved in a land war in Asia.

Now if I can just find my iocane powder...
Interesting post, and certainly a valid issue to discuss; however, although I can see where you're coming from and needing examples to draw on, the way it is written hard to read it without feeling like it's specifically bashing certain users. That's not to say I don't agree with the point you're trying to make, but maybe it would be more effective not to list user names specifically in the post.
a minute comercial is less than 10% of the overall time. It really isn't that unreasonable, in my opinion.

I don't care enough about Groupon to hit the link, but I absolutely, completely, and categorically disagree here.

Aside from the fact that expecting "payment" upfront in the form of watching an ad before getting any info isn't necessarily the smoothest way of doing it, I think 10% is a lot of time.

It seems there are really are only two kinds of people, those that understand that time is money, and those that don't. If I had to "give away" 10% of the time that I spent absorbing information online, I would probably stop using the internet altogether. The signal:noise ratio online is already in some places ridiculously low, especially in video content (which is why I read and not watch the news, weather, or whatever) and taking an additional 10% premium on that is ridiculous.

I surf "free" sites for work to gain knowledge and find ideas up to twenty hours a day. 10% of that time is two hours!!!! That's a lot of time. That's enough time for me to drive to the next state and come back. It's enough time for me write a simple open source utility and stick it up on github. It's enough time for me to bill a client five or six hundred dollars easy (depending on the client and assuming a job is available, etc.).

My problem is this: time does not scale. If you demand something as universal as "10% of your time" from person A and person B, that's possibly asking dramatically different stuff. 2 hours of my time can never be directly compared to two hours of someone else's. Two hours of Bill Gates' time or Obama's time is worth more than I make in a year, if used correctly. At the same time, 10% of my time is more than a month of a junior high students life is worth.

the article focuses on tonality so I didn't even think to mention rhythm but you're right, rhythm does have a frequency equivalent which is not always on a different abstraction scale. 32nd notes in music played at 120bpm have an audible frequency of 64hz.
Somehow "May summarize the web up to 30% better!" just doesn't have the same ring to it.
I like the idea. The use of Bootstrap is a good idea.

One suggestion for feedback would be to seed some of the subjects with your own suggestions.

No magic bullet on the flu
Just curious, but would you like to give me a couple of examples of recognized good art that isn't constrained by some rule, method, technique, or approach?

A large subset of photography isn't art. In fact, most everything people create isn't art per se—if it were, there wouldn't be good art nor bad art, just art and lots and lots of it. Spend a few hours on some photo-sharing site and see what people shoot. They're photographs, but rarely art.

But there are grades of art. Look at this search: http://goo.gl/2mLVI — a thousand sunset pictures, while maybe pretty, aren't generally art and not because it's the same sun in each picture. Most of these pictures have nothing to say. Now, some object lit by the sunset or silhouetted against it gives a lot more potential to be art. A carefully crafted study of a sunset in the form of a photograph can be art, but it requires finding certain constraints first, finding a certain angle that makes the photograph a message, and eventually conveying through the lens something that makes the viewer stop for a moment, to give an idea, to give a feeling, to give a confusion.
You cannot expect your body to adjust instantly to a barefoot gait after spending your entire life wearing heavy shoes that drastically alter your natural gait.

When I first tried running in VFF shoes I limited myself to 15 minute sessions, and even then my calves were so destroyed walking was stiff for 2-3 days. I slowly eased that limit up a few minutes at a time over the past year, and while I have a ways to go, I can run about 30-40 minutes now and my legs and feet look completely different.
Hacker News has its good days and bad days. It also is going to evolve as the world of technology evolves. For some, that means it gets worse. For others, it gets better.

There will always be people that think it used to be better, because it's easier to remember the good feelings than the bad. This happens on every online community all over the entire Internet and it's been happening since the Internet started.

My only advice for solving the problem is to stop feeding the trolls. Dextorious obviously is trying to get a rise out of people. Ignore it and it goes away. Anything else is just adding fuel to the fire.
I hadn't looked at the comments on the story about the girl who died till now. I am so embarrassed for this community. I feel like this is the worst I've ever seen people behave on this site.

Here's some general advice: if you find yourself beginning a comment on a thread about someone who has just died with a disclaimer of the form "I hate to be that guy" or "I hate to write this," just don't say it.

Startup insights from a Tea Stall
Even in urbanized countries, I think there is a sweet spot for the number of children that should be desirable vs what would cost you massive problems later on. If you are talking about having 2 children just to renew the generations, I have no problem to follow you on that path, but more is questionnable when you already have massive unemployment, a crumbling debt on the whole of society and an education system which has become the synonym for disaster. Growth comes from solid standards, not from loose ones.

About your second comment: maybe it's just about words, but technically speaking you do not "agree" with your citizenship, you are just born with it. It's like having parents, you do not "agree with it", it's just given. And this is different from EULAs where you do "agree" (since you have to signify your agreement explicitely) while the legality of the EULAs is, in general, highly questionable.
Have you considered that their motive may have been to inspire? Life is very frail, and this young girl's accomplishments in life may have a profound positive impact on other children for generations to come. How can you not honor that?

I think he meant the use of strcpy() is buggy.
You could have made an awesome point but you ruined it. I agree that there's been a decline but the examples you pull out to support it don't help you much. The comments on the young girl who died were deplorable but I think that's a very rare case and I wouldn't say that happens often around here. But even that doesn't hurt your point as much as going after Dextorious like you did. You make a good case for him being a great example of the problem but this article comes off as you being disgruntled by him and going off on a personal attack. I don't think it's right to name names like that unless the person being named has a certain degree of notoriety. You could have left his name out of this, still used the quotes, maybe pull out some more quotes from other users exhibiting the same pattern and then this article would look far more like the commentary I'm sure you meant it to be rather than Mr. Siegler getting pissed off at and attacking someone. I'm disappointed. I'm not disappointed in your opinion, because there's a lot of truth to it but I'm disappointed in the way you approached it. Hopefully most of us will see past the flaws and really dig deeper into your real point. Other than that, I thought you were right on.

You don't even need to be an entrepreneur. A nurse/engineer couple could hit $200k in their 30's, and that income would allow a rate of saving that would lead to well over $1.2m in home equity and retirement accounts in their 50's or 60's.

I feel really sorry for her parents. However your sympathy stems from ignorance of the Indian sub-continent. Middle class kids in India, and I assume Pakistan have the opposite problem of what you say. They are pressured into achieving academic success come what may. The Indian IITs select .5% of the applicants. Delhi university sometimes rejects applicants getting 98% in school because there are many who get even more. Many of them go through multiple "coaching/tuition" classes in addition to going to school. Celebrating someone for obtaining an MCP certificate in addition to grueling coursework actually has a negative effect on already over-burdened kids.

Oh I would love that too!
I disagree when you imply we shouldn't expect thoughtful discussion. This is the only place on the web where I contribute at all and I do so just for the thoughtfulness. Ive always held HN up as a place where people smarter than me hang out and talk and where I could, and really have, learned a lot. Just because the topics don't stick around very long that doesn't mean thoughtful discussion can't be had. It's all over the place around here! I do feel there's been a decline in not just comments but submissions in general but so far it hasn't gotten to the point where it's even close to any other forum or whatever you want to call it.

And you didn't waste your time. I read what you wrote. I enjoyed it. It sparked a discussion, see? But I am going to bed now so I guess that's over... But had this been any other time of day we may have gone back and forth a bit and others might have joined in too. Hours are more than enough to be thoughtful.
> "Think before you speak" is always good advice.

It certainly depends on the age and the personality of the receiver.

It's a terrible advice to give to a kid or a teenager, or to someone who is trying to overcome their lack of confidence.

"Think before you give an answer" is a much more sensitive and universal advice.
