YMMV but you should have a few specific requirements to respond to a recruiter if they approach you.Mine are:

■ Make sure you are ready with as detailed information on the client as possible. This includes client name, , location, salary/rate information, contract type (W-2, C2C etc.) at the minimum. If you do not give out at least some of these in the first call, don’t bother calling the candidate. Remember they do not need you as much as you need them.

■ If you do talk to the candidate, be honest and specific. If you don’t have a piece of information that is asked for, tell them you will follow up and do exactly that.

■ Do not tell the candidate that this position is so urgent that you need their Resume by tonight or the deal is gone. Top candidates do not like to be pestered. If they think it is worth it, they will send you the Resume without tantrums. If you absolutely need to express urgency (client is interviewing your competitors candidates and wants to decide quickly etc.), please mention that politely. Top candidates know that there is no such thing is URGENT REQUIREMENT that must be filled overnight. Hiring managers do not mind waiting for the right candidate usually.

■ If the candidate decides to send you their Resume, you have done a great job at convincing them that the opportunity is worth exploring and you are worth trusting. But this is half battle won. The candidate expects a lot more from you from here on.

■ Keep the candidate updated with any progress etc. If you sent the resume to client/hiring manager, let the candidate know. If the hiring manager is waiting or sitting on it, let the candidate know. Top candidates like to be in loop even though they might not be desperate for that job and can wait for months if hiring manager is sitting on the resume. But for the love of god, update the candidate at least once every 7-10 days. You can drop a 1 liner “hey the hiring manager is still sitting on it

■ Do not just take the Resume and then stop existing for the candidate which means you never get back to them afterwards. This is the worst thing to do ever. If you are not interested anymore in working with the candidate or the client is not interested,let the candidate know asap. Remember, they do not really need that job as much anyway. The reason is that if you do need to work with them in the future, they will not consider you again. Top candidates are always in demand by many clients.

■ Treat the candidates with respect. You might be experience in what you do but remember that top candidates are also great at what they do. If you don’t respect their time, they will not respect yours.
A pep-talk on making TDD a habit
It's an open source OS. How is "carriers should be powerless" compatible with "users should have all the power?". The carriers are downstream users...

Now, I'm all in favor of interoperability requirements and limits on redistribution that infringes on freedom (c.f. automatic patent grants, antitivoization, etc...). But for branding? I just don't see it. If I, personally, am allowed to reskin my Ubuntu device, surely Verizon must be also, no?
It's not the language so much the isolation in the VM. Normally, there would be safegards against privilege escalation (since remote code execution is a feature, not a bug).

This is just a factor of Oracle not paying attention to a product they bought. When Cisco let Linksys (in the consumer market) stagnate, we ended up with lackluster hardware. Not a big deal. When Oracle ignored Java in the consumer market, the damage is quite a bit more extensive due to its sheer ubiquity.

I still don't understand the laptop factor. You are supposed to stay in the same place because the computer can't move, you can't either. Because the computer can't jump, you can't jump.

I use to go outside and work on the go on the field or lab, standing up, with a laptop you must sit down for working, non sense for me(we are bipeds, we designed for standing up a big part of the time, when we sit our bodies metabolism change, we become less active). I can talk with other people and show things on my tablet just moving my hand, or the tablet where the person is. With a laptop the computer does not move so I HAVE TO MOVE THE OTHER PERSON!

I use arms for holding my tablet in the car, in the lab, and a gorilla one for the field that I could attach to anything(a tree, any structure), and a backpack when I don't use it.

I just need one tablet which I could do real work, run UNIX programs, and add a pixel qi display for working under the sun, and I will have my dream machine.

Instead of the current war/combative/investigative tasks that they have, I hereby demand all the drones be re-commissioned and given the following tasks:

- Keeping track of the forest cover and water resources

- Geographical surveys to identify use & misuse of resources

- Track and identify poachers and loggers

- In cities, keep an eye on the air pollution and particulate levels

- Identify factories emitting pollutants above the limits

- Tracking inclement weather

- Attend to humanitarian needs in disaster situations
One major issue that I find with this report is how they link the addresses to PLA unit 61398.

They essentially find 2 IP addresses that can be traced back to a region of Shanghai with millions of people, and because one particular building that's been known to house Unit 61398 is within this broad geographic area, they make the conclusion that Unit 61398 is involved, which is a key foundation of the report.

Am I missing something?
But sticking our heads in the sand is so comforting!
I've actually tried to run a business on LibreOffice instead of MS Office, and it lasted about two days. If you're in a general business profession that relies on an office suite, not a developer or journalist where you're making simple unformatted documents or basic lists in Excel, LibreOffice doesn't even come close. The same goes for Google Apps, and even Microsoft's own Live Apps. The user interface in MS Office is so much more refined, there's a greater depth of time saving features, and it runs so much faster that spending money on MS Office paid for itself right away.

I've found that I personally have a great deal of cognitive dissonance when it comes to pricing for MS Office. On the one hand, I hate the idea that software that I used to pay for once and have forever I now rent for a potentially greater sum over time. On the other hand, I spend more time in MS Office than any other software I own, except for a web browser (which is usually productivity-detracting, not enhancing). People don't mind paying similar amounts for cloud CRM or project management systems that offer pretty basic functionality, but don't like the idea that Microsoft would move to that model with a much richer offering.
The section you quoted suggests to me that, in addition to the "end in itself" issue, we're also starting to treat college the same way we treat primary and secondary education: No child left behind. If the lowest common denominator can't handle it, then we shouldn't be spending money on it.

This actually makes more sense from a for-profit institution's point of view than it does for state-sponsored schools, but for whatever reason it started at the latter. I suppose seeing that attitude shift to the former as well shouldn't be too surprising.
There are two ways to do it:

You can remove the manifolds (and turbochargers and all related shit), or you can lower the engine a bit and get your hand in there with a collection of flexible 3/8 ratchet joints, a shaved spark plug socket (if its too long it wont work), and lots of patience. The issue is that the upper head faces the frame rails.

By the way, I love the SC. Very nice car. I dropped a 930 engine into one, but it keeps breaking transmissions (600+ HP). :)
All laptop keyboards are bad. I just can't type as fast on them and all the keys are in the wrong place and it's easy to mis-type on them. It's just not comfortable. A good keyboard is a 100% productivity boost. Why get a laptop and put a keyboard on it when I can just get a good Linux tablet and put a real keyboard on it, like a model M IBM old school keyboard and get some work done.

Instead of NERDTree you might want to try Vimpanel, it's based on NERDTree but much more evolved, and instead of using :bprev/:bnext you might want to try Bufstop, it uses history instead of the buffer list to get you to the previous buffer. I made these to get around some limitations for some plugins that everyone seems to suggest.

Have to disagree with this. This exact technology is operating right now, just not as small. The perception problem is the second hardest (behind power) but still totally possible. On a Raspi running at 800MHz one can get 5-10 fps while running intense vision algorithms. I'd say a micro multicopter with real CV capabilities is possible right now.
This is the disappointing part; every objectively impressive drone video I've seen has been controlled by a centralized computer with a bunch of cameras watching the drones and controlling them accordingly. Long way from group of drones that can fly anywhere and operate in any conditions.
So long as no one needs to edit the original file, you could make a PDF out of it.

I agree, though, seems like LibreOffice has a way to go.
Would you still like to rent it for $50/month?

Because there is nothing stopping Microsoft from jacking up the price next month. And for the many reasons listed on this thread - if you actually depend on exact layout and functionality, you don't actually have much of a choice.
Indentation languages in general are a step up from editing raw HTML; by the time people are ready for another abstraction, the common tags will be far more ingrained in their heads. Syntax highlighting helps, too (existing solutions for the Slim templating language are already pretty good for Emblem, even coloring unrecognized html tags). And last but not least, you can optionally prefix your html tags with % to be explicit, and prefix dynamic "mustache" content with =.

The GPS example he references is an interesting exception to the norm of public services in the US. GPS infrastructure is made freely available for personal and commercial use at public expense, ostensibly due to its value to the US military. Contrarily, Internet and energy infrastructure is privatized, along with most other basic services we depend on. The correlation between the government putting a bunch of position and time broadcasting satellites into orbit at public expense and maintaining open source repositories as a matter of course seems weak, however. GPS infrastructure has an obvious practical value to the public and few other parties could have undertaken the project; maintaining one more OSS Python/Django inter-office communication tool project at public expense might not make quite as much sense.
i use terminator for that. works wonderfully.

Yeah, not really. I'm a proud American citizen; I spent six years in the US Air Force. But I have no illusions as to our military, and the uses to which our Congress puts it, as representing "Civilized humanity, . . . the opposite to fundamentalists".

We spend about as much money as the rest of the World put together on our military, and have a force about equal to the rest of the World put together. This allows us to live in a unique position in history. We can assume our safety from the horrors most of humanity have experienced; we can go about our daily lives without concern for dire, hellish possibilities. It allows us to plan for, and save for, lesser emergencies only.

As a WASP male I am incredibly fortunate to live in the time and place I do. But we aren't somehow superior to our enemies because of this stroke of luck.
The proof is in the name:

HyperTEXT MARKUP Language

HTML is for documents. Some sort of sick, twisted ideology has proclaimed it the all-useful programming language, but I repeat -- HTML is not an all-purpose programming language, the proof is in the name.

I want to deal with arrays, strings, pointers, and variables. I want to get down there with the hardware and control it myself. I want to optimize memory myself.

I want to do the dirty work because I want control over the computer I'm programming for.

Trying to replace C/C++/ObjC/Java/Python with HTML is like trying to replace LaTeX with plain text formatting. It's just way too limited for ~90% of the uses of programmers.

Don't get me wrong, HTML is awesome for documents and has come a long way, but it is no application development platform.

Not when you have <h1> and <body> tags scattered throughout instead of

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
using namespace std;
cout << "Do you honestly think HTML5 is a replacement for C++?\n";
String x;
cin >> x;
cin.ignore();
if ( x = "Yes" )
{
cout << "You probably work for Google. Get out of here!\n";
}
else if ( x = "No" )
{
cout << "It's nice to see that we're on the same page here; HTML is a document editing language first and a programming language 50032th.\n";
}
return 0;
}
My kids are used to it at this point, at least that's what they tell us. Whether it's completely true or not, only they know. We do our best to make sure and move to places that are interesting for them and then to enjoy whatever is around that area as a family.
That is how see things as well.
No. I know what the difference is between the two.

And I know that I never use mouse in one or the other. I don't use it for scrolling, I don't use it for pointing and clicking, I don't use for selecting stuff…

REPL? no use for the mouse. htop? no use for the mouse. git/svn/hg? no use for the mouse.

Funny, I have the first two issues with MS Office (or at least, had until and including 2007 - haven't tried 2010, and luckily I don't have to deal with Windows and .docx files anymore).
It sounds like Pascal's wager to me. I haven't really thought it through in much detail, though - for safety reasons...
Nice! Thanks. I had heard the argument made that ARM is ideal because it is a RISC processor so less to learn. Regardless as it likely won't be directly usable if the general concepts are as readily, if not better, learned with the 65XX then that's perfect.

Thank you!

BTW, just discovered this community. Pretty cool so far.

It's not about autistic biases for me, at least not when the topic is the NHS. All of my father, uncle, aunt and other-half are doctors all of whom work for, at least in part, the NHS and are respectively an oncologist, dermatologist, GP and ob/gyn. As you might imagine, I spend quite a lot of time listening to them talk about the NHS, their particular trusts and their hospitals and the failings of all the above. All of them would much rather live here where you'll be looked after by the NHS, and can also have private care if you're willing to pay for it (though often the only difference is that you get a nicer room and shorter waits for non-emergency operations), than in the US where the patient is merely the mechanism through which you bill the insurance company.

Well he specifically said he was particularly referring to High School students, not college undergraduates majoring in Geography with access to sophisticated, professional traffic simulation software.
Have any of you ever heard a small flying machine in real life? They are very noisy.

Is private insurance still available if I want more exotic options? Sounds like the best of both worlds to me.

I'm not a "developer" or "programmer" by trade, like many of you here on HN are. In the last 15 years, I've been a Windows admin, a Linux admin, a security guy, and a networking guy. For the last several years, I have been almost exclusively managing Linux servers and networking gear (primarily Cisco and HP).

For background, I started out learning 6502 assembly at a very early age (which I've long since forgotten), Commodore BASIC, GW-BASIC, QuickBASIC, Turbo Pascal, and then onto Perl and, later, "enough" PHP to make some basic web apps. I wouldn't consider myself even close to being an "intermediate" level programmer.

After being introduced to Linux in the mid-90s, I began learning Perl (primarily to write CGI scripts). I've wrote a few small applications in PHP over the years but most of the code I've written has been Perl. Also, probably 95% of the code I have written is stuff that helps me do my job quicker, easier, or more efficiently (in other words, I'm not really developing applications for the "public" or anyone else, only for myself).

I recently decided I wanted to learn Python, but following examples or tutorials has never really "done it" for me as I quickly get bored. I've had much better luck by finding an existing problem I need to solve and then diving straight in and learning what I need to as I go along.

That's what I did with Python. A month ago, I knew absolutely nothing about it. I watched most of the videos on Youtube from Google's Python class (which is awesome, by the way) and worked through a lot of the exercises. Shortly afterwards, I found a real-world problem (at $work) that needed to be solved and, although I could have knocked it out fairly quickly with Perl, I decided to make this my Python learning exercise.

In the last two weeks, I've went from only knowing the very basics to a complete solution. Looking back at my code now, it parses command-line arguments, interacts with the user (to obtain a router password), uses SNMP to gather a bunch of data from an access point (this is a WISP environment, not your typical SOHO AP), connects to a Cisco router and makes a bunch of changes. SNMP, MySQL, regular expressions, working with files, lists, hash tables ("dicts"?), etc. It's not the most complex piece of code ever written but it's certainly well past the "Hello, world" difficulty level.

As you might guess, I performed a fair number of Google searches during the time I was writing my program. I didn't come across anything that I wanted/needed to do that I wasn't able to. Perhaps the documentation on docs.python.org isn't 100% complete or the best, I don't know, but I do know that I managed to figure out how to do everything I needed to, almost entirely from the results returned in my Google searches.

The author may be right about the state of the documentation on docs.p.o but, overall, I think it's irrelevant. There is sufficient documentation "out there" in the whole of the "world wide web" that any newbie to Python (myself included) can quickly learn anything about Python that they want to.
The peculiar meaning of that euphemism in logic and philosophy is going to lose out to the way laypeople understand those words. The fuddy-duddies should pick a new less-confusing phrase to mean "assumes the conclusion". Might I suggest, "assumes the conclusion"?
afaik Jade can't be precompiled; all the parsing needs to happen in the Browser, whereas Handlebars (and therefore Emblem) can be precompiled so that browser processing is minimal. Also, for frameworks that heavily extend Handlebars, such as Ember.js, you'd miss out on a lot of features such as auto-updating templates if you didn't choose a language that compiled to Handlebars, i.e. Handlebars or Emblem.
Looks nice, but why would I choose this over handlebars? Don't wanna sound negative but it looks like just another layer of indirection...

> You're still making it way too complicated.

Maybe it just is that complicated (not that I view the above as complicated, I just don't view it as simple as you make it).

> If I put 10 gallons into my tank every day, but use 11 gallons daily.. I'm "using up" gas. That's all that matters.

Imagine an engine that behaves differently depending on the type of fuel is put in it. One type of fuel causes the engine to move slower and burn less gas per unit time. So you may continue to put in your 10 gallons a day with this new fuel, but you'll notice a surplus building up because it only burns say 5 gallons a day because of this change. The output you get from the engine varies depending on what is put in it.

That's what the parent was describing. Calories in and calories out are not independent variables despite how they are treated in some research and most popular media. The type and amount of "calories in" affect your energy level (calories out) and hunger level (ability to limit your caloric intake).

Big fan of libreoffice. The Solver in Calc is great. And Calc can do most of the complicated stuff MS Office can. But man is it uggo. They need to get some UX volunteers. On the other hand, there's Google Drive, which is a completely steaming pile of garbage for an analytics guy.
Some tablets already have built-in Wacom pen display, like the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, the Microsoft Surface Pro and the ASUS Slate.
That's because it is more complicated. Feel tired and lethargic after a big carny meal? Guess what - your body is driving on econo-mode and burning less fuel.
