Well, a false positive rate of 54% essentially means it is in fact just coin flipping.

For any other product on the market, a failure rate of 54% would be cause for a complete recall if not a wholesale scrapping of the product but apparently does not apply in this case.
My point wasn't to paint all developers as being bad at hiring. My point is that HR shouldn't be used as a scapegoat for what's wrong with technical hiring.

I understand that it can be frustrating to feel like some non-technical person is blocking you from talking to someone that you can relate to and prove your value to. But it is just as frustrating once you get to someone technical that can understand you, only to find that that person is using equally arbitrary criterion to evaluate you.

Java is stupid.
I just ask my very non-technical girlfriend to come see this new app I downloaded. I showed her flutter.io working in action. She shrieked and said, "that's awesome, how do I get it?". That's a very good sign for you guys...nice job.

Java starts off out of hand, and just gets worse when things like Guice are thrown into the mix.

Roboto is Google's Arial.

It's the result of intellectual property licensing.

It's pointless comparing Google to Apple here. Apple has learnt that it's more important to license fonts from the legitimate IP holders instead of generating dupes that are just different enough to avoid a damages case. Even when creating custom typefaces based on existing fonts, Apple have engaged the original IP holder to create the font (see Apple Garamond.)

Roboto a chimera of existing popular typefaces and the problem with that is that it's a poorly assembled "frankenfont", the borrowed sections are obvious and poorly connected, this creates an inconsistent aesthetic. Namely a shitty typeface.

However, just like Arial, everyday users don't, and won't care - there is no point fussing over it, the only thing this shows is that Google hires lame design agencies, and is perhaps not as thoughtful as championed.

The problem with Hacker News is that there is a demongraphic of two faced users who gush over their preferred tech companies, while scorning others. Note here that Microsoft did similar with Windows 7 and the dialogue was far different to what I'm reading today.
Sounds like a great idea for a new paradigm... I'll call it "pain-oriented programming". As you can imagine, the goal of this paradigm is to induce as much pain in the programmer as possible. The reason is that, as all snobby programmers know, pain = enlightenment. If you have not rescued a Visual Basic project from the pit of despair (as much as Visual Basic code can be rescued), you are not a real developer. If you have not mastered the art of rolling your own XML reader--in Java, no less--you are not a real developer. If you have not written your own PHP class autoloader and associated model-view-controller framework, you are not a real developer.

The philosophy of a real developer is that if you ever use someone else's code, you have avoided pain, and thus enlightenment. Enlightenment brings perfect code. The realest of the real roll their own operating systems, complete with custom assembler instructions, and they would never stoop to following a tutorial. Tutorials are the wussies' playthings. To achieve enlightenment, you must achieve the three essential qualities: confusion, anger, and despair. Wussy programmers avoid these things.

Pain-oriented programming may be organized according to units of frustration. Our taxonomy of frustrations includes three types: code frustration, developer frustration, and meta-frustration, the last of which deals with the anguish of being frustrated at being frustrated so much. Pain-oriented programming aims to maximize all of these frustrations.

Wussy programmers, on the other hand, love frameworks, code reuse, and Maven repositories. Wussy programmers are content to avoid reinventing the wheel (a necessary first step for all real programmers), because they have concerns for such silly frivolities as deadlines, maintainability, and standards. The minute you begin to care about anything other than perfect code, you stray from pain, and you might as well stick to writing in cute kiddie languages like Alice.
Yes, but, people with a prescription would be legal.
I've heard some bleak prison stories over the years. One guy I met was an avid reader (and I guess you could say a bit of a hacker). This was in the 80s, so things have changed. Once he would get into a book, the guards would come in and confiscate it. He would try to find a way to piece together the story before the guards would take the book (3 hours to a couple of days from getting it). That went on for 3 months, he said. Imagine spending every waking hour thinking up, trying and evaluating methods for the fastest way to consume a book.

Another guy I met once who is still in prison said that he spent 6 months in solitary. He spent his entire time strengthening his fingers so he could climb brick walls with just his fingertips. An odd thing to do but when you have nothing but your body in a cell you can only spend time getting fit or wasting away.

Most prisons have outreach programs. You can go and teach someone to read (or program). It is a very interesting experience and you may even get someone interested in a topic enough to save them from the system (or themselves).

One correction.

USCIS has updated the rules and clarified that a controlling interest in the company is allowed (i.e. > 50%) as long as the employee-employer relationship is maintained and a board of members exist who can control the employment and terms of the beneficiary.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/on-immigration-a-step...

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f...

Specifically (quote from the page on the second link):

Q: The memorandum provides an example of when a beneficiary, who is the sole owner of the petitioner, would not establish a valid employer-employee relationship. Are there any examples of when a beneficiary, who is the sole owner of the petitioner, may be able to establish a valid employer-employee relationship?

A. Yes. In footnotes 9 and 10 of the memorandum, USCIS indicates that while a corporation may be a separate legal entity from its stockholders or sole owner, it may be difficult for that corporation to establish the requisite employer-employee relationship for purposes of an H-1B petition. However, if the facts show that there is a right to control by the petitioner over the employment of the beneficiary, then a valid employer-employee relationship may be established. For example, if the petitioner provides evidence that there is a separate Board of Directors which has the ability to hire, fire, pay, supervise or otherwise control the beneficiary, the petitioner may be able to establish an employer-employee relationship with the beneficiary.
I'm pretty shocked that Microsoft hasn't been better at maintaining appearances for the EU.

Shower them with emails asking them if they need help. It's good for the OS, the public, and it would be a good proactive measure toward maintaining regulatory compliance.

Can we stop with the maps? Or do something better?
I have a service like an airbnb for X (see my profile if you care). So it would be ideal if users who visit my site could easily see where my services are being provided. Airbnb does this by using a google map (see http://www.airbnb.com/home/coverage).

Their implementation of an on-site google map is probably the best I've seen, but still the UX sucks. These maps never work the way you expect, scrolling usually just leaves me at an undesired vertical position of the page forcing me to scroll back into position and use those stupid little plus/minus signs.

Basically, because your browser isn't pointed at maps.google.com, interacting with the map will almost certainly produce unwanted and unexpected results.

Is there a better way (Maybe not even a map? This may require some out-of-the-box thinking.) for me to show, visually and at a glance, the locations of my service? Has anyone thought of something better than these maps? My guess is no since I see them everywhere.

Any help appreciated.
Haha - that's great. Thanks!!

I would like to point out that it's horrifying to know that a DA would try to mess with the system just to look good.

"On the other hand, if you still got to pay the bills, and have a family,"

You're right. And all of this is nonsense anyway. The people who encourage all this risky behavior aren't going to be there to clean up the mess when you fail and can't pay your bills. And passed up your chance to go to Harvard to do YC.

It pays for them to encourage you to take big risks and encourage big ideas. And they will pick from those risks and if 2 in 10 are a home run then they win big. They are spreading the risk over many ideas (you're only doing one idea) and they are risking other peoples money in general. (Sure they have reputation and other worries but not the same as your loss.)

My guess is, and this is only a guess, that when they evaluate an idea they don't take into account at all what will happen to the founder of the big ambitious idea when it fails. It probably doesn't even enter into the decision to fund the idea or not.

It's like encouraging a friend to go to Hollywood and follow their dream to become a star. If they succeed you have a friend who's a Hollywood star. If not no loss on your part.

So, drugs are just as effective in AIs as they are in human intelligences.

The author calls drugs "primitive pre-FOO hacks", but since they already have such a powerful effect on human intelligence, what's the point of differentiating between pre- and post-FOO hacks? One will just lead to self-destruction much quicker than the other.

TypeSafe apparently makes money with support, training, and consulting [1]. All that hard, human-oriented stuff that doesn't scale ;). It's another sort of freemium model, and would, I suppose, mesh well with nikcub's option a. But you have to have a bunch of users, first. It seems like Scala already had some users before TypeSafe took off.

My brain is saying "build a platform", but I'm not sure how that would work. If you had a popular platform where Deca was the language, that might make Deca more widely used, but that might not be what you have in mind.

Definitely build something cool with it, so people can see it can be used for "real" programs. If you want it to be OSS, it seems like the most important thing is to get some users and some cred. I think PG had some stuff to say in this regard.

You could always just make money with an app in your language.

I'm not speaking from any depth of experience, so hopefully this is useful. I like where you're going with Deca. Best of luck!

The OS isn't even ready yet and they're probably tweaking the brand new full fledged API that's probably full of bugs and issues and has to run on a completely new platform for Windows, ARM and also has to be battery efficient. You're underestimating the amount of work it takes port tens of millions of lines of code into a new platform and then to make sure things work and still have the ability to radically change things to get the last bit of performance out without having to worry about third party developers who have already invested significantly in the beta APIs.

Since they have already committed to allowing 3rd party browsers, I guess they will be coming forward with the information when it's ready. Till then the desktop browsers will continue to work for x86 based machines.

The Real Spartan '300' Ab Workout
You really have to take the good with the bad when it comes to Google sponsored libraries.

I'm usually won over by them because Google does truly great Java API design, their releases are relatively high quality (there is some assurance of quality when it's used internally at Google) and their libraries almost always enforce good design (they don't accept things that you would consider helpful if they think it will be easy to use incorrectly or abuse).

But with that comes the bad. If something's not helpful to Google, it won't have sponsorship to be added to the library. The library will always support only versions of Java that Google internally uses (Kevin has said before that it is unlikely that Guava will be expanded to cover even Java 6 any time soon).

So I'm enjoying using their libraries while they are current, but am fully aware that they might need to be forked eventually.

A Better Way to Program
I don't believe C++, Java, and C# do anything positive to affect the ways a programmer thinks. That's really the purpose of this list.

I could add F# to the functional languages since, from what I understand, it almost exactly is to Scala what C# is to Java. But I don't view Microsoft-specific languages as languages a hacker needs to know. XD But what mental growth would BASIC facilitate?
Has the industrialized world existed for "literally thousands of years"? I'm not sure any statistical trends are consistent in this timeframe. How do you separate crime and war, for instance?

Actually, law enforcement in the Edwardian period was much more strict. At that point in history the "broken windows" theory of crime is not a theory - it is a piece of everyday common sense which it has never occurred to anyone to question.

Juridical punishment in the Anglo-American era decreases more or less monotonically since (at least) the Elizabethan age. America is in all eras notorious for endemic crime. In general, by the end of the 19th century there is no significant criminal underclass in Protestant Europe. Of course, in Naples you can get knifed in an alley at any time since the 5th century BC, so everything is relative.

This book (1921) is a pretty good look at American and European police systems in the prewar era: http://books.google.com/books?id=Q90qAAAAMAAJ. Fosdick was later head of the Rockefeller Foundation so you know he's legit. (Edit: book link was wrong.)
Instagram Announces Android Version

I am also having a hard time trying to understand the author.

The author seems to think that Firefox is in big trouble in the post-PC world but then tries to blame MS for that, when MS has specifically made allowance for third party browsers? I know MS is the favorite whipping boy in the blogosphere but why does MS deserve blame for Firefox being in trouble?.

He seems to realize that Firefox will have a good chance if Metro/Windows 8 succeeds, so calls for a EU intervention but then seems to vehemently wish that Win 8/Metro be dead.

Edit: After some more thinking, it's beginning to make more sense. Linux/FOSS all these days have been made possible in part due to Microsoft licensing DOS/Windows to IBM clones made by Compaq.

This allowed "open" PCs on a large scale competing with Apple and Microsoft did not have control over what ran on them. This allowed OSes like Linux and BeOS to show up and flourish since the hardware was cheap and readily available. Much of the other platforms were very closed and OS vendor controlled. Interesting that the object of hate and ridicule, Microsoft, is what enabled the platform in the first place.

Coming to the Post-PC world, because of the top-down vertical integration by Apple and Android/Ubuntu/Boot to Gecko etc tablets not really taking off, Linux/Firefox. are being squeezed out of the market. There is no place for them on iPads and if that's what people buy and desert PCs, they are in real danger. One way is to continue on to Metro and piggyback again on Microsoft's success but that means arch-enemy Microsoft needs to succeed which is indeed a Catch-22 for many folks.

Ask HN: How to learn Theory of Computation
I'm starting a class on Theory of Computation, the textbook that we use is the Sipsen's one.
But for me, it's very hard to understand the concepts and to follow the states flow.

Anyone has any tips to understand this better?
As to your point 1, I would rather phrase it as a topic of ongoing research. There are some information-based theories that would have something more like entropy being in some sense the underlying law of the universe, and what we currently consider the time-symmetric "base" laws to in fact be the derived laws, in which case in some sense the entropy mystery would disappear. Entropy is a well-observed fact of the universe, and to the extent that our theories fail to explain it very well, that is most likely a problem with the theories, not our observations.
The API for WinRT is fully baked since it's a sandboxed API, but the native code that browsers need is still somewhat in flux I think.

Also, that's for x86 only. ARM devices are nowhere as polished. In fact they seem to have specifically made them unavailable and locked them up in glass boxes at BUILD and also didn't allow reporters to play with them at MWC.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/14/nvidias-kal-el-reference-...

Maybe they're concentrating on Metro apps first since the browser developers have significant resources to ramp up development unlike the small app developers, I am not sure though.
