One thing I look for in resumes is a subjective sense of whether the candidate is smart/passionate. While these things are very hard to glean from a static and short document, I find, like a few of the other commenters, that a regurgitation of everything you've ever touched is a huge negative.

I'd much rather see less buzzwords and more content. Very few resumes actually contain job descriptions where I can tell what the person actually worked on. I care much less about what language you worked in than what you actually accomplished and whether you have strong CS fundamentals.

I'm also working on a resume analyzer and trying to use it to predict candidate success. One feature that has showed up as consistently being a predictor of a poor candidate is high keyword saturation (# of languages, OSs, frameworks etc divided by total resume length).

Thanks again everyone, I'm truly flattered. We had some great discussions (have some catch-up to do today, had no idea I'd be spending so much time on HN :)).

Since so many people were curious to see the affect HN would have on our signups, I think I'm going to do a follow up post next week.
Holy shit, Apple. It is 2012. Figure out how to do a decent window manager that lets you maximize a window properly.
My guess is GP knows how to use Vim, and yet he's happy to use something else... but many Vim users can't imagine that scenario.

I personally know and like Vim and Emacs, but I'm using ST2 because those editors lose some of their greatness on vanilla Windows. And Emacs keybindings do hurt my wrists.

Also, I could never get really fast at editing multiple files inside a single Vim session. Nothing near Emacs with ido.el or vanilla ST2. I already tried Lusty* packages and Nerd* packages... It's also kinda hard to prevent :q from quitting the whole editor, which always bugged me.

When I open it from the terminal for a quick fix on a single file, Vim works very naturally and I think, once more, "hey that edit was easy and fast - why not switch to it as my main editor?"...

This is just an adaption of the "margin" system commonly used in systems engineering. Basically you never spec everything out to perfectly match the load it's expected to bare, always leave some headroom.

For example if you are designing an aircraft your first design is never perfect. So you when you do the initial design, you do it as if the aircraft has to weight 70% of what it really will. As errors are corrected in your original design (or features creep in) you will slowly eat away at that 30% margin. Hopefully by the time you finish the have some left, or the aircraft will never get off the ground.
The problem with a self-serve model is that these aren't self-serve customers. Almost by definition a large percentage of small businesses are relatively unsophisticated computer users (at best, middle adopters).

It's the same reason why Yelp has to spend so much on direct sales to get these businesses advertising.
Digg was at the top of their game when this video was shot. Digg v3 was a massive success. It's only when they introduced v4 and pandered to social media sites (a decision made by Kevin) that it took a nosedive.
I own a openrd platform, which isn't perhaps quite as up to date as the CuBox chipset, and it too has many of the features you mention.

But it is not a fast system. Gigabit ethernet? Sure, but good luck getting anywhere near that speed. Similar for the e-Sata port. Oh, sure, I can get a 60 mbps samba share up on the thing, but that caps out it's cpu.

The specifications for what it supports does not indicate what kind of performance it will have. The quad core Samsung processor will almost certainly dominate the Marvell unit's performance. Or maybe not: I don't have one. I've just been underwhelmed by what throughput Marvell has delivered me.
I agree that is it usually the path of least resistance but "Ask for forgiveness" is much harder when you are having to ask forgiveness from high priced corporate legal rottweilers and the secret service who want to nail you to a wall.

For things like restaurant menu boards I wouldn't be worried. Installing apps on computers I do not own (and owned by a very large corporation) without explicit permission? Not so much
Great post, but there is a lot more to finding that perfect husband. Assuming you have followed the given steps so far and some guys to chose from ...

1. Have many common interests that will last a lifetime.

2. Do not get in college debt yourself and do not marry someone with a big debt either. Your generation is way, way behind in terms of big debts coming out of school.

3. Make sure your family approves fully of the guy - before you fall too far in love to back out. Your parents and siblings are likely to give you good advice.

4. What makes a man attractive on the campus may not last beyond it... Women want powerful guys, and what defines power on campus mostly only works on the campus. You want an ambitious guy, one who will work hard for the family when school ends, not just a popular frat boy or middle of the road jock.

5. Be prepared to find a guy after college. Especially when hooking up with older guys, its easier to do that around people you later work with and their connections. The prettiest women get married first, but they are not necessarily the happiest.

6. Be ambitious yourself, and pursue a career that does not need the man to be the breadwinner. That way, your guy can spend time with the family too.

There's some intent in Ouya to whore themselves out as some kind of developer platform, when all that is wanted, desired, or necessary is a solid stable reference Android platform for developing games on. Ouya seems to want to inject themselves as "something more," without making any statements about what is short about Android at large, aside from a lack of a passable GPU in the Google TV world.
There is nothing preventing your SMSs being saved in a telco DB. I'm fairly certain they are.

I surely hope that the Ouya will be a success, but I am far less sure that it will be a success. On one hand, making a game for a regular Android device with a touchscreen is a lot different from making a game for a gamepad. ( For example drawing games simply do not work with a gamepad, while football games do not work with a touchscreen/acceleration sensor). Atop of this the hardware seems to be rather low spec, especially the lack of a real GPU seems to be a problem.

On the other hand, with the feature list of the Tegra 3 and a bluetooth keyboard, it would make a really nice streaming client/HTPC. And it is fairly open, which should ensure hackability for stuff like a nice TV interface for HN, home file server and probably even gaming ;)

In conclusion, I have the somehow wired feeling that it could be a rather huge success but not as a gaming device but as the break through for "smart TV." And it is somewhat raising hopes, that the developer specials (at $699 and $leet) are sold out.

[edit] I forgot to add:
The $99 price point is very nice, since this is about the highest amount many people are willing to spend without a good reason. So many casual gamers will probably buy one and figure other uses out later.
Sure, Openrd/sheevaplug/dreamplug/&all, the marvell series, run Debian with ease.
Nope my opinion and nothing to do with any implied cultrural trends. If it was Google and it was called the googlesearchfund and offered support for google services as in if you do a product that promotes there products then I'd question that as well.

Still +1 to you for raising a fair point, even if i disagree.
Yes that is it. Thanks for pulling finding that.

I recently took part in the hiring process at a large company.

I think the main purpose of the resume is to get you on to the shortlist. You basically need to look at the requirements and try to match their keywords. When the HR guy is looking at 100+ resumes and need to whittle it down to 5~10 for interviews, you know they're not reading it in depth. Make your resume scannable, and eliminate fluff as much as possible.

After that, it's all about the written/phone tests and the interview process.
You make it sound as if the employees were all unpaid interns. So long as nothing extra is negotiated at the time of the job offer, then those employees knew (and were probably delighted by) exactly what they were getting. I don't expect my employer to back up the Brinks truck if they get bought out or have a successful run. This sense of entitlement is crippling. The employees were paid, presumably learned plenty, and are better people because of their experience at Digg.
So, so true.

When the problem occurs, it's pretty quick for the guy who needs to fix it at 2am, to find where it exploded in the code base, while the original developer is (maybe) passed out in a bar somewhere.

Not much else matters. He could of just done :( x 10 and had the same result. The main thing is, it's easily traceable!

They are not just to detect cars in the turning lanes but to detect whether cars are waiting for the light, and how long the queue is. This (supposedly) helps optimize traffic flow. I have my doubts as to whether it works any better than fixed timers. The claim that they are cheaper and easier to maintain than in-ground wire loops does seem believable.
Yes, but the market for bespoke goods and organic foods is limited. The amount of disposable cash available to chase these goods is limited, especially during a recession like the current one. And even during "good times" the small boutique businesses don't have the market reach to do much more than eke out a living. And market economics will force out smaller companies that can't fit into either stratum.

I think we forget how many people are employed in retail jobs across the US. In 2010, 14 million people were involved in the retail industry. As retail efficiency improves via WalMart/Amazon/Target, this employment will drop. And as a society, we aren't very good at forecasting where jobs will migrate.

Competition/efficiency helps consumers by lowering prices, but the job loss should be troubling.

Your suggestion might be a good default for handling image insertion. I know markdown, but in instances where I'm specifying an image (e.g. a blog, a CMS page) I'd rather have a button that lets me select from available images than have to type it out using markedown (which would require that I know the filename and explicit path). Not to mention image alignment.

Yes. Your repeated key point -- wow, that's kinda vacuous and tautological. Basically you're saying, "What if you die, then what?" Well, you're dead. Duh.

Ouya the company could be run very cleverly with very low expense. It could be an unkillable cockroach in the way that a lot of bootstrapped startups are.

If run by employees who have day jobs, with open source hardware, it could have nearly zero expense for long periods of time. They could find corporate sponsors who could give them server resources for their marketplace, then it would be zero expense if they wanted.

The company could die and the Ouya community could still go on, so long as someone paid for the servers.

the problem lays within who decide who is a "sexual predator", who is not. I can assure you if this is left without governance, it will be very easy to slip in you and me and label as as predators as well. For example, you hold a hand of your 6-year old nephew when walking back from school when picking him up, per your sister request. In Facebook standards, you may already be a "sexual predator".

I hope you see where I am going with this...

That's pretty clever, I think this should be implemented natively in browsers. It's nice that it's bound only to the visible part of the page too.

The title to this post isn't exactly correct. From what I can tell, this is a program being run by one division of Microsoft (Bing) and not necessarily representative of Microsoft, the company.

(During the 90's people called Microsoft "the Borg", which does a disservice to how to company actually operates. Microsoft is actually more like the Ferengi, which is to say, an alliance of individuals obsessed with profit and trade who are known for their business acumen.)

I think refusing to decrypt a hard drive in the US is dependent on whether it is self-incrimination (5th Amendment) while police activities are more tied to the 4th Amendment.

But the point is "I gave you my password. I haven't seen the computer in a month while your forensic team was looking it over. Maybe I got it wrong, or maybe your boys screwed it up." That is not refusing to decrypt it. In fact it is very apparently cooperative.

To me, this is a bit of link bait. Unless I'm missing something, this article basically says that the way to get to #2 in the app store without spending any money is to already have a game with more than 1 million users, and place ads on that game promoting the new game.

Am I missing something?
There's an illusion in online communication that makes the average user think any particular message they send is like physically handing a message to another person. Using Gmail as an example, sure, your email goes to the right person, but you first send it to/through Gmail. They just happen to pass it along to the recipient.
I use vimium [1] which has this feature (search for links to open them) and much more. It doesn't have the cool effect though :)

You can, but: some function already exist with existing APIs - especially in libraries and existing internal PHP functions - and currently there's no way to say "I want default for the second parameter, but non-default for the third", unless you copy-paste the default from the docs.
Mobile Websites vs Responsive Design: What’s the right solution?

Let it also be a lesson in the difference between valuation and money. Valuation is meaningless until it turns into liquid cash.
So it's like vimium but you have to type more?
Writing it like that would have been lazy, though.
The basic solution is fairly simple (and I'm surprised there's not much mention of it here): use something other than "point". In an ideal world, there would be three measures:

Points/inches/mm/etc. - used only for displaying content which must match the physical world. For the most part, this means "page preview" and when you want to display some image at "actual size".

Arcseconds/radians/etc. - used for displaying content that is intended to fill a certain field of view. The vast majority of content.

Pixels - used for fitting to pixel grids and 1:1 display, or other scenarios where scaling artifacts are not acceptable.

There is a considerable deal of fiddling to do with this, especially with regards to user-configurable scaling (which would be extremely important for arcseconds/etc., given that field of view depends on distance to device), but the basic need for some angular measure seems obvious.
It's about a text editor that you learn more about and customize until it fits you like a glove.

Then you reap productivity benefits for the next couple decades.
People may want to see pictures of products in 1:1 scale in webstores. I would.
I use LaTeX to design my layout and it has worked pretty well for me. I have an education section, skills and a set of projects that I have worked on. Obviously the most emphasis is on the projects, languages I have used, team work etc. I have seen resumes with hobbies, references etc which IMO are irrelevant. If we get to the stage where I have to ask you culture fit questions, I would rather ask them in person rather than read them of a resume.
That's.... not what "healthiness" means.
This is sort of reminiscent of those billboards proclaiming "Life is short. Get a divorce."

Go talk to some people who've made the leap to founding their own companies or going for that bigger position. The pressure increases and the race never ends. Sometimes it's nice to just be able to knock out code on interesting problems without constantly worrying about your next move. Engineer comp is going up, way up. I don't think the right next step is to turn engineers into hyperpolitical MBAs.

Very misleading quote. The full article features disbelief about Compete.com numbers, so it seems as much a critique of Compete.com as it does a story about Digg.

Since I ended up reading the article, I have to wonder if Compete counted Digg buttons on blogs as visits. Facebook, of course, did not even get a Share/Like button until 2.5 years later in late 2009 (http://mashable.com/2009/10/26/facebook-share-buttons/)
It would be easy to get millions of daily uniques if popular newspapers all request your script or image in every article, and sites like Compete don't properly take social buttons into account.

(It's interesting that recent articles have debated if Facebook itself now counts the display or click of a Like button as a visit.)
That's not the point of the article. If it's badly used or not is not discussed.

The point is that even if it could cure cancer, it's not possible to be done on any display.

Yup, I loathe the deception involved in the interview-hire process. People lie to each other with smiling faces, from both sides.

That question has a complex answer. In short: not really.

Unfortunately, I know a little too much about phone networks to have a representative answer. I know very little about Facebook, except that its users usually attribute to it more privacy than it really offers. Trying to understand why that is is the reason for my question.
