DST Output is Brassring/Kenexa, Kaiser, Dignity, and Sutter are Taleo, and Stanford is Trovix. Taleo and Kenexa are both market leaders in the corporate ATS space.

The standardized formats are so the ATS can do keyword matching and place a score on the candidate. Qualified candidates are often screened out for not choosing the right words, while others jump to the top for keyword stuffing.

IMO, the quickest way towards a job is typically to circumvent HR and reach out directly to the hiring manager, department head, or get referred in if you have a connection there. In this economy, HR departments are simply dealing with such a high volume of unqualified candidates applying for anything and everything, that its hard to filter through to find the qualified ones without the help of an automated system.
It's hard to code for SPU. Game programming in general is hard. Yet all 1st party studios and most high profile 3d party used SPU code either of their own or from the libraries that Sony gives.

And I agree, PS3 was not a nice architecture compared to 360. PS2 was not nice compared to xbox 1 too. However this just not justify idiotic claims like "nobody used SPU" etc.

This seems to run as a script in your browser, and then calls out to some helper to get your IP address. The original server (the one which hands you the script in the first place) should have your IP address already, and in theory, could create the page on the fly.

Self-learning has been great for me so far. In less than a few weeks, I knew HTML and CSS well enough to create a functional and good-looking website. I know Javascript, but not fluently--working on that right now.

But as posted below, I think the big negative of self-learning is that the HOW questions go unanswered many times--and I mean after countless online searches too. Luckily my aunt is a great programmer so I am able to get most of my questions answered. I'm sure someone in your network can serve as a personal consultant...I don't think its necessary to hire someone. Just network around, I like to think most people are helpful.

If you are starting from scratch, it may be a good idea to do a quick run-through on code academy as the lessons give you a basic functional understanding as well as pretty good syntax rules so these can at least be engrained in your head. I don't think I will necessarily be faster in teaching myself what dev bootcamp teaches in the same amount of time, but I know that I am gaining, and will have gained, the ability to think and struggle on my own. To me, its a priceless skill that I am learning to appreciate.
Ah, gotcha. My mistake.

It would be nice if there were a less trivial mapping of IP address to color -- something where ASN boundaries mattered, and maybe where netmask got taken into account. (so a bunch of users on /29s and /30s within the same IP block got related but different (and ideally distinguishable) colors.

It would still be a canonical IP to color mapping, but it wouldn't be as literal a mapping of 32-bit address into 32-bit color.

Maybe but one of the reason why there is such slow growth is that there's so much disagreement amongst researchers about how to interpret results.

I would be much happier if this project was focusing on creating the LHC equivalent in brain mapping w.r.t. instrumentation and methods.
For instance, a cheaper imaging technology that offered 2-3x the resolution of current techniques. That would be a much more focused goal and would have clear benefits for all scientists working in these areas.
I can only speculate, and I don't think that's particularly helpful. The 2010 downsizing was quite transparent. This time no ordinary employees seem to have the full picture of what exactly is going in.

C reserves part of the namespace for the language or implementation, so they have a third way, which they've used for e.g. boolean types in C99. Make a new reserved word in the reserved namespace (either starting with __ or just _ followed by a capital letter) and then add a standard header to #define or typedef the unfriendly reserved word to something nicer for code that wants it.

on-topic: I'm really excited to see this. I can't wait to get my hands on a leap motion, I think that we are on the verge of some really cool tools and toys.

off topic: it drives me crazy that in 2013 sites are still auto-playing videos w/ sound. When I scan through the front page I'll open up the articles I want to read, then ctrl-tab through them. Real annoying to have to scan through them first to figure out who is blasting noise at me.
Whether generics get retrofitted will be the measure of this. I suspect they won't, because by the time a Go 2.0 timeframe arrives, the thinking will be something like "Time has shown that we thrived without them, so despite commentator gnashing, they're simply not required."
Beyond the logging, which I love, I use it for the differentiation of states. I'm just a little more attentive when I type "sudo" before something.

At work, a relatively young engineer accidentally typed a command meant for a test database server into a production window. There was a big rush to restore from backups, and there was a small amount of data loss.

One thing that came out of the retrospective, requested by the engineer in question, was the production hat. Before you opened up a connection to a production machine, you had to put on the large pirate hat. You could only put it back when you had closed the connections. I didn't really need it, but it was a great way for people to learn the necessary caution.

It also ended up being a nice exclusive lock on futzing with production, and seeing it in use led to some good discussions that otherwise might not have happened. But the main thing was developing a strong differentiation of states in everybody's heads.
It's not that easy, I'm afraid. Languages do differ in many areas and one of them is how easy it is to make a mistake in one.

I think Go was designed with this in mind? Also, Haskell's type system guards against this. On the other hand C does nothing to prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot and C++, while improving some things, makes it overall worse because of sheer amount of constructs in the language.

Ruby and JS are better in that they run on VMs and so won't segfault (that often), but other than that they do very little to help avoid making mistakes (implicit undefineds passed to functions in JS...).

Anyway, languages are not created equal and one thing a language designer can optimize for is to reduce the probability of programmer making mistake. That's only one of the variables however and sometimes it's the other goals that are more important and then we get languages like C++. That's not to say it's bad, it's just optimized for different things.
I'm not too familiar with the implications of Sarbanes-Oxley-- is this a dig at the SJobs options backdating scandal?
Thanks for the detailed explanation.

It sounds like everything was done to fix the problem except try to figure out what the problem actually was. Why not use tools to see what the program is doing, form a hypothesis, gather data to confirm or reject the hypothesis, repeat until cause found, and then take corrective action that by this point you have high confidence will work?

I realize HN is more of a side project than a production service, but the goal is the same in both cases: to restore service quickly so you can move on to other things. It feels like a more rigorous approach would allow restoring service much faster than randomly guessing about what could be wrong and applying (costly) corrective action to see if it helps.

Besides that, in many cases (including this one), you cannot randomly guess the appropriate corrective action without finding the root cause.
Each console has its strengths and weaknesses. Working on multiplatform games, the 360 version is, more often than not, CPU-bound while the PS3 is very often GPU-bound. But in reality there's very little in it. They're both horribly memory-bound and the 360's Achilles' heel is actually the lack of disc space.

But look at something like Halo4. It's had all of Microsoft's drive behind it. Pretty, yes. Significantly better than anything the PS3 could do? Not really, no.

I've read the books she recommends on her website and they are usually thoughtful pieces of writing.

I don't think her statement, that she uses Amazon data to find other books her readers enjoy, is an admission of immoral conduct. She said a quarter of the books she recommends are from information she gained from Amazon. I believe she's referring to how she discovered them and not the reason she recommends them. Of course I am giving her the benefit of the doubt because the quality of the content on her site is generally high.

She serves her niche of intellectuals fairly well and I think spamming with lower quality content for the sake of making money would be noticed quickly by them. The donations on top of the affiliate links seems a bit much, but I think people might still donate and or purchase in order to show support for her work.

This post seems too dramatic - it looks like she is simply admitting to learning from what her readers read. If you build an audience writing a certain way, it's likely that your readers also have something of value to contribute and inspecting what they read and in turn offering it to other readers on your website is clever, if anything.

Also, it's just not nice to publish personal email communication. Just bring it up with her over a coffee or something.

D'oh! Yep. Noted.
Databases, at least the SQL kind, really aren't good at dealing with hierarchical data, and I don't know how you'd even begin to express that kind of constraint. I don't think a traditional database is the answer here. (If it were me, once I'd done it more than twice I'd write a "move thread" admin tool in the UI, and after I screwed it up like this I'd have a place to add such a check to).
My general feeling is that a lot of content on HN, Reddit, etc. is superfluous and non-value adding. Things like buzzy blog posts, sensational headlines, etc. Believe it or not, lots of PR firms and businesses use HN as a way to promote their features. On a walled garden (as much as my gut reaction is to dislike it) you don't have that issue. There are other scenarios too, I'd imagine you can come up with as well.
I do (much lower scale) affiliate links and book reviews, mostly for the data, rather than the money. But my conversion rate is something like 23%.

Couple of issues with this:

1) The screenshot mentioned in the story shows no clear indications of the advertising he refers to. http://on-advertising.tumblr.com/post/42994492644/donation-p...

2) Author has included a massive wall of text with little structure. No headings or sections. Makes it harder to get through it.

3) Most important of all, the author does not provide a clear link to the site of the person he is criticizing. This makes it harder for third parties (us) to evaluate his claims.
Over $65 000 per kg, significantly more valuable than Gold.

Fake horns do make up a lot of the consumer trade in rhino horns, with most made from water buffalo horns, but these have had the effect of increasing demand. High-end buyers get their rhino horns from syndicates that are able to guarantee the provenance of their horns and can command a higher price as a result.
It's a little more subtle than this I think: he's arguing that across a year maybe 1/10th of the 1.2m monthly unique visitors will buy something. So overall conversion is 1/(10*12) or roughly 1%. Would love to hear from someone who runs a literary b,log though and has better figures.

Three Centuries of Tricksters, Hawkers, and Hucksters Around Old Delhi
None of the consoles were ever used for their potential. The Xbox 360's CPU wasn't really used to its potential either, if you look at its theoretical numerical throughput compared to the actual throughput.

The GPU in the PS3 isn't as powerful as the Xbox 360's GPU, but there are a number of great libraries available that permit augmentation of the GPU with the SPUs.

From experience, architectures that are designed first for the PS3 run very well on the Xbox 360, but architectures that are designed for the Xbox 360 (or, worse, PC) will not perform well on the PS3, which punishes you for pointer chasing. The tile-based lighting in BF3 that you mention is interesting because the Xbox 360 CPU did not have enough horsepower to crunch the lighting data so they had to leverage the GPU to augment it. This was challenging because the Xbox 360 GPU was a DX9.0c+ era part and wasn't intended for GPGPU computation. Colin Barre-Brisebois spoke at SIGGRAPH about how this was done: http://publications.dice.se/attachments/BF3_NFS_WhiteBarreBr...

I really like developing for the PS3. It's challenging to code for initially but the rewards are definitely there if you try.

> Mr. Broder and The Times have maintained that the article was done in good faith, and that it is an honest account of what happened

So, in our public discourse, "honesty and good faith," have drifted down to the level of "deniably but somehow consistently fudged."

In the words of Richard Feynman, there is: "a specific, extra type of integrity that is not [just not] lying, but bending over backwards to show how you are maybe wrong." It's this level of integrity that is needed in our public discourse concerning the complex and technically sophisticated world of today. If the NYTimes can't manage this in a simple car review, I wonder how they do with complex political and social issues.

Of course the point is it's not clear what it means to "be JS". Is it more important for the name to express what syntax the source code is in or what platform the code can run on? I think for your average developer who just wants to consume a library, they care more that it is a javascript-based library that they can use.
Behavioral Economics of Intrinsic Motivation
The problem is thinking of it as the cost of implementing the feature vs. doing manual surgery on the production database, without realizing that if you choose the latter, you're also choosing the risk that you'll spend hours debugging the system when the surgery goes wrong. It's a tradeoff, to be sure, but it's not clear that the latter is cheaper on expectation.

Opera's browser and it's engine, Presto, are dead.

Opera is building a new browser using Chromium. They can still add value on top of that - Opera has more things than just a browser, they have their server-side rendering, ad network and analytics, etc. They can integrate those with a version of Chrome that has Opera branding and there could be value in that.

Note also that to include Chrome on your phone means a deal with Google. Typically that means using all Google services (docs, mail, app store). If you want to use something else, you can't use Chrome, so that might be an opportunity for Opera.

The bugs that actually hit production are always like this - a confluence of three or so factors - because if it were simpler you'd have caught it earlier.

(Though I have to say, upgrading the code at the same time as you're restarting to fix a problem is really a rookie mistake. It's incredibly tempting because it saves so much time, but if you do it you will get it wrong sooner or later. One of the hardest skills in programming is acquiring that zen that you need to wait in a state of readiness for the effects of your first change to make themselves apparent, rather than changing something else)

I wish I could get paid for the quality of my work, but I don't trust any existing pay-for-performance scheme in education. I count myself as fortunate to understand programming well enough that I can do some side projects that might supplement my income meaningfully.
