slow start to the day?
I hate the internet on April 1st.
HTML+CSS would provide a fantastic way to view a resume on a web page. However, a resume is more usually forwarded around multiple times via email and then finally printed for a review.

HTML+CSS offers little to no control of how a page would look like once its printed. LaTeX on the other hand, can be optimized with printable fonts, appropriate margins and such like. A PDF with embedded fonts would guarantee that the page would look the same, printed with any computer/OS/printer combination.
wow.. never heard of the microtype package.

look very nice, will be playing with this for sure.

thanks!

Being able to keep legal ownership of what you have done in your spare time in the past is not really a minor detail. I think it's important.
How so? All you've done for yourself is create a hill you have to climb to right from the beginning. Investors, like founders, often have tight schedules and little time to make decisions. They have to make their decisions quickly, because they have 100 other people clambering to meet with them on getting their investments. You can't blame them if they write you off b/c you couldn't take the 1/2 hour before the meeting to freshen up...
Plus, in the start-up community it may seem to be more "acceptable" to dress casually for an important investor meeting that could change the trajectory of your company and maybe even destroy it, (sounds ludicrous when I say it that way), but in the public perception that is unacceptable. The goals for many companies is the get mass appeal and adoption, and if you're going to play the part of the founder/ceo/face of the company, you have to represent your company in a professional manner; if you can't do that in such an important investor meeting, what assurance does the vc/investor have that you can do it to the public.
It's kind of silly really, anyone who really wants to get around this can, but innocents get screwed over.
I'm mostly wondering how long these lunches were that they even rate mentioning, let alone mentioning BEFORE code quality?

You're over analyzing it: it's not a "we are the 99%" schism. It's just a guy in a leadership position being a first class douche bag.

It's also independent of whether the other guy was "right" or "wrong". I've had plenty of moments of weakness in my life, and none of them compelled me to rip in to former coworkers on Twitter.
He also said this:

What's so interesting about success is the number of failures who try to ride on your back. Shay Pierce is just one of many...

Although now he's deleted the offending tweets and posted this:

I'm sorry for what I said on Twitter last night. No excuses.

Coding Relic: BangIP Option
The shortest time worth considering is a full publishing cycle - from pitch to advance to raw product to publication to break-even to profit. Given all the queues in each of the pre-publication phases and the slowness of making back the cost of preparing a work, I doubt you could squeeze that under 20 years. Otherwise it's just a cruel tease.
SEEKING WORK (Belgium, remote and willing to relocate for long-term contracts)

As a full-stack developer I have built products from scratch to finish and have experience with mobile web (iphone,android,BB), fine databases (mongdb,neo4j,redis), cloud setups (ec2, S3,queues), the usual suspects (html5, CSS3, js), the ruby toolchain (rails, sinatra, heroku and perftools) and a nice bunch of api's (paypal,facebook,twitter,instagram,...)

A previous client said this about me:
"Nicolas is super pragmatic, business-minded, and focuses on what is needed to move the business forward. A strong, all around CTO type that would be an asset for any organization."

Samples of my work can be found at http://noverloop.be
Same here. It's underdeveloped, but I think it could be brilliant with another revision or two. I hope he does well.
> I find the githup version too much squeezed down and "wordy"

It's up to the author how much words here uses. I use the summary on top, which totally optional.. Looking that the coe you can see that everything is simply Latex, therefor easy to modify.

The level-squeezedness is part of this design, if you don't like that then I guess it's better to look further.

Maybe it easy to squeeze the CVtex template a little.
And actually apologized: "sorry for what I said", not "sorry if anyone was offended by what I said". I still don't think it looks good for him - apologies only mitigate, not erase - but that's the right response. If he follows up with a "it was a stressful transition and I was afraid that Pierce's understandable legal concerns would sour the whole deal and frankly I drank way too much", all the better.
The company was pretty small and there wasn't much information about them outside of their website. What sorts of questions could be asked at an interview to sort something like this out?

I highly doubt dissing on Zynga when he didn't take a job there is going to hurt his chances of being hired by other software shops (for one thing, we all sit around dissing on Zynga too.)

Ask HN: Pitching investors, dress attire?
Hey guys,

I've read the article posted several days ago about whether or not you should dress as you would normally for an investor meeting, or if you should spruce yourself up a bit.

What do you guys think is the general consensus?

I think that if you over-dress, it could be just as bad as if you under-dress. I'm the only techie guy of 3 involved in the company, so what I wear will most likely be different than the others. My typical attire is usually DC sneakers, express jeans and a northface shirt/fleece or t-shirt (comfortable clothes)

I'm 23, and this is my first investor meeting, and I'm nervous as all hell, since the potential investor is also some-what technically inclined, so I may be asked more questions than the 2 others.

This is an anxious/exciting time, I just want it to go well. It's a startup in an industry that's ripe for disruption (healthcare) and I think we're on the right track and this meeting could be "life-changing" if it goes over well.
Apple products (in fact, all consumer electronics) routinely cost 20%-50% more in Europe than in the US. This is often attributed to the higher cost of doing business there. Nice to see European consumers getting some ROI, as it were.
No it's not, read the sales comparisons of apps that have both iOS and Android versions...the difference is quite striking.
I'm not looking at the moment, but just wanted to say kudos for your approach to remote work!

I'm currently living mostly in rural France (with a month or two per year in Kuala Lumpur), working full time with a Cambridge-based startup that's even more accommodating of remote workers (and that's the only way I could possibly do this) -- many of us on the team travel & keep working, as well, which at one point resulted in us having one dev in GMT-8, one in GMT-5, one in GMT, and one in GMT+8 (!).

There are some things that are more difficult with remote dev, mostly communication-related -- though if we all have good internet connectivity, we get by quite well -- but I've become fond of the hidden bonuses, like "relay" programming -- basically, pair programming where you only overlap for one part of the task, and the person who started it (in an earlier time zone) isn't the same one who finishes it. It's always easy to do maintenance, deployments, etc. at "odd" hours -- you just pick the person in a time zone where the hour isn't so odd. And generally our communication is good enough (and we share tasks enough) that no one is ever stuck sitting around waiting for X to wake up and come online.

So best of luck to you, and I hope more startups will follow your lead!

"declare bankruptcy on that technical debt"

I like that metaphor. Every shop I've worked in that's had awareness of "technical debt" has always looked at it like something that will have to be confronted, even to the point of including time in each iteration to address it.

But sometimes, you just carry it until you realize that what you bought with it is not worth anything. Then you just wipe it from the books (codebase) and move on.
Serious question - how and why do you think it shows disrespect, and for what? The only thing I can think of is tradition.

The dates you attended Mumbai University are in reverse. Just so you know.
In my country (belgium), it doesn't just cover manufacturing defects but all instances of "non-conformity", meaning discrepancies between the advertised product and the delivered product. This makes sellers responsible for accurate representation of the product they're selling. One gotcha is that you have to be unaware of the nonconformity at the moment of making the purchase. So manufacturing defects are not covered if they are documented to the buyer ahead of the sale.
