Try starting a company. You'll probably have to have some money to start, but I'm guessing that's not a problem.

Look for other americans on forums. They should know the drill.

Look for an authorized translator. Born in US. She can probably advise you the best.

Search for a way to get an extension. Even if that means you have to go back to US for a couple of months. If the girl is serious she should still be in Denmark 3 months later.

Bottom line, avoid begging for a job.

I cannot imagine how some kind of reunion would be good for remembrance:

"Do you remember that time when we got a granade and almost died?" "aaah yes... bad times"... "Or what about when corporal Jones was blown into pieces" "aaah yes... that morning we played poker toghether".
My honest response to people who quote religious text's regularly is vary similar to people who talk about what 'the voices' told them and or convoluted conspiracy theory's. Still, people can function in society with surprisingly deep psychosis, because there are accepted patterns for dealing with such people. The most useful approach being simply avoiding the subject, thus many settings have formal or informal rules prohibiting such discussions and HN is probably well served by having such an agreement.

Well, I was there in 1996 when they were saying the same about plugins -- and in 7-8 years tons of records where produced inside a laptop and a DAW (speaking for electronic music of course, but also anything indie that was made with a 4 to sixteen track previously).

Well if you like modal editing you can use sublime text 2's built in vi emulation. So if you donwload sublime text 2 (you can try it without buying it) and in the user settings have

}

You can use vi style modal editing with most if not all of your usually vi commands.

No idea what a "official" CV is like. I know I like to see a GPA listed for a college student.

What, precisely, made your internship valuable? Why should I read it as anything more than "wrote some code in C#"?

Yup. Rewrite, rewrite, rewrite. More exactly: What did you do in this project? What results did you produce? Did a paper come from it?

> People care about either of those??

I do. Others might not. Tutoring & leadership indicates soft skills, which are, hmm, about 50% of my job... at least. Honors indicates drive & capability beyond the usual "Got Degree, Where's A Job" attitude of the average college student.

Interviewing, IMO, is idiosyncratic. Different people look for different things.

I would say the biggest concern is that you could become a target. Say that you, in good nature, inform them that you can buy items for free due to a injection attack. 4 days later someone else buys $10,000 worth of gear using the same exploit. They now only have one suspect: You.
I used to be a big fan of SCons, and now I tend to use Rake for my build system. To me the most useful thing in a build system is to have a straightforward and easy to understand interface for setting it up, and I'm much more comfortable with Ruby and Python than I am with the odd (to me) lisp-derived syntax of make (fwiw: I typically use these with C/C++ projects, not Ruby/Python/&c)
As a non-native English speaker I have to disagree here. Was using the web long before I could get those things right. And I can assure you many Swedes would fail to get English particles and prepositions right. And they are still able to use most English websites without much if any problems.

Getting particles (eg. "in" in "sign in") and prepositions right is one of the hardest parts of learning a new language. (Word gender for languages with that feature is another hard part.) You can understand almost everything of a website just from understanding verbs and nouns.
Unless you have a dauschund. Those little guys can last 15-20 years if you treat them right.
True. Although I recall a couple of studies in the early nineties that measured skill levels, and also "claimed skill levels".
Scandinavia was top-tier in actual skill levels, but a country-mile winner in claimed skill levels.
I'm not sure I follow. Are you considering that you do can use the leap while resting your arm right? The technology doesn't stop functioning out of the blue because it just noticed you're not getting tired enough.

If your laptop webcam was a leap sensor, you'd be able to use it to control a virtual keyboard/mouse while resting your arm in pretty much anything around you. You can use your work table as a keyboard. Or if you're lying down, use your belly. Tho I'm sure that future leap-ready devices will have it's own built in solution (like a tablet case specially designed to fold forward to serve as support for using your hands to type or something). There's nothing inherit to the technology that implies you must move your hands more or hold them in the air any more than what you already do with current input devices. People only do so in the demos to show off the technology.

I mean, there's a lot of hard and interesting problems created by the leap that will be fun to try and solve. But a tired arm seems so simple to solve that it's even boring.

Unless I'm missing something and you're talking about something else entirely?
Negative SEO: Chapter Two
This is for hardware experimentation, not to put in your pocket. Why would I want a display?
That's true but I don't know how long this can last. Developing a quality iPad music app takes just as much time as it does to develop a good VST and from what I can tell the sales volumes aren't high enough to compensate for prices that are about 1/10th of the VST market.

I think you're going to see a lot more apps like Figure and a lot fewer serious instruments unless people get used to payer higher prices for apps.

I have been seeing these types of articles quite a bit in the last 2 months. I personally think that it is a bad way to look at things. IT services companies like Infosys right now may be a huge part of the Indian IT industry and the overall export economy, but it shouldn't be that way.

High-tech companies (like Google, Apple) should have that place. If companies like Infosys are only relying on revenue from outsourced projects from the US and not actually spending money on their own research and development, then they should have disappointing financials. Nonetheless, I don't think it spells out the doomsday "golden era is over" like this article's headline.
Seems like there is nothing new under the sun.

"Login" is terrible (and you should feel bad for suggesting bad UX as though it was right).

Users want to provide their identity credentials to access your site and verify who they are. They do that via an electronic signature which is their username and password.

Therefore they want to "Sign In" with their signature.

The fact that you're 'logging' their signature is secondary to their needs. And as far as making a compound word out of "log" and "in"... well that's stupid (and wow... "Logout" is a new verb created just so you can leave a website securely? Try explaining what that is to someone who has never used the internet... 'no it's not street slang for going to the toilet').

As for your 'more effort to visually distinguish' between "Sign In" and "Sign up", you already solved that problem. "Sign in" and "Register" are the winners.

And we don't have to involve any lumps of wood (or new verbs that suggest bowel movements).

Once you've registered your signature with the site, the next time you arrive, you merely provide your signature. Register and then Sign In.
Yeah I noticed this when I opened it and tried to cmd+t a new tab open at the same time.
This is neat, but one thing it misses is the "reward." Not a gamification award, but the visual feedback from hitting a keyboard shortcut and seeing it actually happen, which helps reinforce the connection from muscle-action to program-action.

Another important component is seeing the scenario. Seeing the words "Duplicate line" doesn't hit the same neurons as seeing the situation in the text-editor that toggles my brain to think, "I need to duplicate a line here".

Obviously, none of these features are trivial to implement. Great work, though!

Blackboard is indeed an bothersome program with a lot of usability problems, so any competitor in this space has to be a good idea. The article points out that even brick-and-mortar schools with face-to-face interaction in class desire to increase student engagement outside of class, and student engagement outside of class is even more important for online education. My son the hacker has been startup-minded since before he started high school, so he was part of the pioneer class of an online high school. It was EXTREMELY annoying to him and to me that the online high school, when it was founded, didn't have a pan-school way for students to maintain online conversations, nor did it have an online communication environment for parents who lived all over the world. That was a really bad school community-building fail. My son did get to see both the successes and failures of a startup enterprise by attending that school, which was the goal, and over the long haul will surely be good for his career development, but the "sucktastic" (another parent's term) communication with families at that school put me off from signing up any of my other children there. I note that even our local brick-and-mortar high school in our local public school disrict is going heavily into online communication with families, largely through the Schoology product, and it's crazy that online high schools (in some cases, at least) haven't been leading the way in this regard.

Nonsense. The author demonstrates a range of obvious vulnerabilities in the site. The fact of which of these happened to be exploited this time is pretty irrelevant when the website as a whole is so poorly implemented.

Ask HN: Looking for a change as a Web Developer in Barcelona.
Reading a post from a fellow user, I've decided to ask this anonymously.

I'm looking for a change in my career as a web developer. I reside in Barcelona (Spain).

The problem with my current job is that the company is too large to change quickly and I see technology evolving outside while we are stuck to old stuff and innovation is rara avis.

I have 6+ years of experience in LAMP environment with large websites (+500M page views a month).
Although specialized in PHP and MySQL I manage myself in C and Java and don't mind to pick up a new language.

Do you know any company in Barcelona that could offer a challenge and a competitive salary?
I'd appreciate any kind of recommendation.

Contact me through this post or at: developerlookingbcn@gmail.com

Cheers.
The reason would be security-related, as usual. I take it you deal with the clickjacking potential, and the potential for deliberate annoyances?
Awesome, can't wait to get my hands on one of these. Now I just have to figure out whether or not this obviates the need for Arduino, and whether I should stop bothering with learning Arduino, and just use RPi for everything... or it each actually has it's own niche where it's most suitable.

Anybody here feel like commenting on the relative merits of the RPi vs. Arduino?
I have to enable way too much stuff in NoScript to proceed when I actually click on an editor button. Giving permissions just to shortcutfoo is not enough.

Forrest Gump’s Apple investment would be worth $7 Billion today
I like this a lot, but I think it will augment instead of replace systems.

So I walk into my living room, say "Computer. Gesture interface" then change around things on my large screen monitor while I remain standing, perhaps setting up some music to play and launching and arranging some apps. Then I say "Computer. Mouse interface" and sit down and begin programming.

Not sure of the details, but this inside a mixed environment would be awesome. Might not want to work all day with my hands extended, but I shouldn't need to sit and find a keyboard for everything, either.

I'd also like to see surface displays with touch feedback. I think there are a lot of non-intuitive things like image processing or gaming that could benefit from haptic feedback systems. It's going to be awesome watching these technologies mix with each other over the next ten years or so. Even the simple idea of having multiple screens all over the wall and having them switch depending on which one you're staring at would completely change our relationship with modern technology. (And while we're blue-skying, true 3D would be really nice too) Perhaps we end up with all surfaces being some sort of color e-ink and something like leap as a standard feature of house, office, and car cosntruction? Could that happen?

Bali Budget Accommodation: Cheap Places To Stay In Bali
You're basically talking about the best case scenario. Typically it's much more mundane.

Most of these niche companies aren't exciting to outsiders. They're doing things that seem ordinary like making labels or floor mats for cars. Obviously some people might be really motivated by such things.

There's nothing wrong with boring. Often boring is profitable, predictable, and less prone to disruption than these "shiny" apps that are often a flash in the pan, huge one day, sold for billions the next, and forgotten the week after.
Well, thank you all for your advices. It's been an interesting discussion.

I've learned that switching off (for me) is more stressful than staying connected. So on my time off/after hours, I just do whatever I think is fun. That always includes checking my analytics, and usually twitter, facebook and HN.

Maybe you're not feeling relaxed because you're switching off too much?
Maybe i'm getting too cynical in my old age, I did edit my comment to say "or a friends" to reflect that.

Either way, if that is the case then there is a difference between "Here is something I made" and "Here is something done right" .. especially if that something has been done quite a few times & more impressively before.

>That would require all forms of media be passed through a distribution chain, which would be ridiculous.

It will happen. It's very easy for the bad guys to mandate at some point that all media must be passed through a distribution chain.

It _has_ happened in other forms. For example, once (not that long ago, a few decades) you could buy food products direct from the source. Now it has been outlawed in almost extinction, e.g in France (similar laws exist in the US).

Food (cheese, wine, tomatoes, etc) to be sold, has to pass several BS tests and production criteria, that are "for the good of the public", but that in essence prohibit anyone but large industries to be selling it, putting an end to a centuries old tradition of small local producers.
Your loss, because it's awesome.

I find it easy to get excited about hard problems regardless of what the company actually does externally. Particularly if that means internally there's a wealth of cash in return for said hard problem solving.

I think you'd have to admit that shiny apps flashing in the pan, huge one day, sold for billions the next, and forgotten the week after is also the 'best case scenario'.
