I was referring to desktop monitors, which don't scale pages down to fit within the viewport.

Often times mobile devices crush the page down into its device dimensions, resulting in a thumbnail-looking preview of the entire site. Again, not very helpful to many users on mobile devices.

You're asking that they either 1) have high-density displays 2) superb eye-sight, or 3) familiarity with the site to know what is where so they can immediately zoom into their areas of interest.

Google's Ngram Viewer shows that the term "Space Marine" was in use for quite a while before W40K's 1987 release but there was a big increase after 1987. At a glance, the trend seems to be similar to trends for other related terms such as "powered armor" but doesn't match the trend for "Warhammer".

I'm disappointed that "Key Reality" #2 and #4 in an article about addressing a gender related issue are both unsupported gender stereotypes. Those points could just as easily say 'people' instead of 'women', and as near as I can tell be just as true. I'm quite willing to believe that "People" tend to be conservative about switching jobs, especially if they've had a negative experience in the past. And I can see tech interviews set up "people" for failure; but I don't see anything specific to women in that, unless you want to start from some really negative stereotypes. Working on those issues will probably help your offer acceptance rate, regardless of gender - but you need to be sure you can still distinguish good candidates from bad candidates, so you can't just toss them entirely.

So that leads us to the contrast between point #3, don't lower hiring standards, and the conclusion - a method of trying to get better results from reduced experience requirements when hiring. Getting good results from less experience is definitely something important and useful, but less experience -is- a lower standard, so I think the most interesting topic is there. Is watching people in hacker school really enough of an equalizer compared to years of experience? How does it compare to running an intern or co-op program? Is there any problem with the sponsored hackers getting trained on Etsy's dime but working for a competitor? How is hacker school different/better than working with a local university?

Seems like a pretty balanced look at the Surface. They do talk about the 'available storage' a bit but I wish they were even more clear about it, something like "a 128G iPad has Xgb for users, the 128G Surface Pro has Ygb for users." My thought is that calling it out helps make it a customer visible difference that can be marketed against.

to be honest, that is the first result I found looking on google for "ten commandments jews"[0].

Sure, as another (apparently deleted?) comment said, if you take them as a whole you more or less can respect 80% of it across a few major branches.

But they are inconsistent enough that if I tell you one by number there's a 80% chance that you won't be able to understand what I mean unless you know my religion, which is the case i replied to.

I'm sure this is true, but I believe that the root cause of the management practices that result in this situation is the byproduct of company direction and culture. As an example, if the direction of the company is primarily to maintain a headcount, then there is only so many mental games a manager can play to retain it's ambitious employees.

Nothing about RWD necessitates the end-product to be inferior to the fixed-width alternative.

A company in the UK I used to work for underwent a similar transition - we had an in-house system that billed upfront. Then brought in a outside product - only half way through integration was it discovered to bill only in arrears.

Instead of running an overdraft for a year we tried to rewrite significant parts of the billing system, tying up valuable expert talent, drawing focus away from growing the business.

had you seen the problem before the switch would you have run the overdraft solution? Or ?

I noticed from last month's Ruby on Rails vulnerabilities that many in the HN crowd had not heard of or used the Metasploit Framework before. I wrote a comment "What is Metasploit?" that many of you found helpful. This blog post expands on that comment to help you get started playing with Metasploit through the Armitage GUI. The goal--next time something that hits close to home is made available, you'll know how to jump in and test the attack against your own systems.
I was a Senior Engineer with a manager who talked to me once on the day I joined the team, then forgot I existed for the next 3 months. If I had discreetly transferred without trying to repair this, I think I might have pulled it off.

But instead, I mistakenly emailed him, concerned that he was holding 1:1s with everyone else on the team except for me. He then hastily called a 1:1, apologized for forgetting my existence, and then immediately informed me that I was now behind on his expectations of my productivity.

My friends advised me to go to HR, so I did. Whereupon I found out he had already paid them a visit to inform them of me. At this point, the google immune system geared up to encourage me to leave of my own volition. I tried to get on to other teams. Friends in the company tried to get me onto their teams. These efforts were blocked.

Deciding this was a game not worth playing further, I left a month later when I got a compelling offer elsewhere.

Waste of 4 months IMO - but I also believe that if I had just been allocated to a more relevant team things would have turned out far better.
Feel free to inspect the background page and look at the network requests we're making. We're doing requests to Google Analytics to store counts (e.g. how many installs we have, how many notifications are clicked, etc.) but there is absolutely no data from the notifications or any personally identifying information about you.
It may be as easy to ignore a pull request, but at least the pull request is public whereas you have no idea how many emails a project maintainer has ignored. JPlayer, for instance, does have an issue tracker and it has many open pull requests. So it probably isn't worth your time to submit another one.

I think github has made it worse.. its great if the project has gotten started there, but when they move from another tool, like SourceForge, most of the time, they don't bother to shut down the old one, or say "hey, this site was moved to here->".

I have seen several projects where both SF and github host files for a project, and are both kept up to date (as a way to offload the downloading of the project, I guess) but tons of unanswered questions in both projects trackers..

look at the open source project for zenoss.. they host their own bug tracker, (makes sense, its a commercial company with an open source product) but they don't put any notice about it on sourceforge or github where different files/code are located. (and the sourceforge one is full of spam).

And I know that there are competent women out there, but I find very hard to believe that a sharp increase of women in your company will make your team better.

Even them end admitting that the women they are hiring are junior engineers, and that they could not find senior engineers (probably because the few that exist are already happy where they are and won't switch jobs).

BlackBook is a mixed-integer programming model implemented in OPL/CPLEX (used to be an ILOG product until IBM bought them).

So all this stuff about classifiers is off base. This isn't a predictive model -- it's a math program.

I don't know how they got that quintillion number. Could be that many "variations" instead. But the dimensions are things like time, varietals, locations, what you're gonna store/blend, that kind of thing. You end up with decision variables that are indexed in multiple dimensions and that creates the variable explosion they're alluding to.

CPLEX is awesome at handling huge amounts of decision variables so long as the problem stays mixed-integer, and that's what this is.
> What irritates me is when high-profile projects like Chrome and Firefox (...) then promote themselves as serious, professional-standard projects that people can rely on. They and their evangelists take great pride in stealing market share from established closed source/commercial alternatives (IE in the browser case).

I don't think that "closed source / commercial alternatives" (IE in the browser case) have done any better on the bug side than the open source ones.

One of the reason people use OSS is that -despite all the flaws that JWZ points out about the bugfixing process-, bugs have historically been fixed faster and the community support is (again, on the average and historically) more responsive.
From the article:-

"The key to being able to keep the good employees is not so much the salary you offer them or even the actual work, it is more about how you manage them and how they feel working under you as their manager. "

Personally I don't think there is a key, instead it's a case of all of the above. You can't keep an underpaid employee happy. You can't keep a bored employee happy. You can't keep an employee happy when you don't treat them well. I've left companies for all 3 of these reasons, it only takes one reason.

An EC2 server doesn't net me anything in revenue. It costs us money and falls into the category of expenses. Reducing expenses makes us more profitable. Reducing our expenses by 50% made us roughly 50% more profitable.

Better than that, this savings isn't one-time. It's recurring, as EC2 is recurring. But we've also reduced the expense growth curve (the savings wasn't linear), so we can continue to add customers for cheaper.

The A/B testing thing is a complete non sequitur. a) there's no reason you can't do both. b) most A/B testing yields modest improvements.

Not a military member or veteran myself, but am friendly with quite a few present and former officers. The culture they describe sounds extremely political. Almost like being a career military officer is equivalent to being a career politician. To some extent, there's a hint of academy politics as well: people who publish, get cited, etc., move more quickly than people who don't. To another extent, there's classic politics: people who schmooze within the Beltway, know how to play the media game, etc., get ahead quicker than others.

In many respects, David Petraeus is the perfect embodiment of these political principles. He published, he politicked, he maximized his media exposure, and he hobnobbed within the right DC circles. I'm not qualified to judge whether or not he was as good a leader as many believe him to have been. But he was certainly a top-notch political operative.

(Other government agencies, e.g., the CIA, have very similar internal political incentives. The game is almost the same. This may explain, in part, the fluidity between military leadership and Agency leadership).

1. "Even science recognizes that diversity is important: research from both the Kellogg and Sloan Schools suggest that cognitively diverse teams perform better on hard problems."

2. "Beyond that, though, hiring for diversity will set up better recruiting opportunities. Consider Harvard’s graduating computer science class: forty-one percent of the students are women, and an inability to hire talented females will start to significantly impact your ability to recruit altogether."

3. "A number of studies, like one from CMU, have shown that people perform better in math and sciences if fifty percent of the participants are women, so gender distribution was a key metric in future Hacker School classes."
