Unfortunately in this case there were more downsides than could have been predicted. I personally helped recruit 2 young women over the course of the weekend who were looking for junior/intern positions. They both seemed very passionate about development and well qualified. Before I lost access to my corporate account I was able to get one of their resumes to my manager but I'm afraid the other might have gone down with my inbox. I've been imploring my boss to forward my address or look into my closed account to see if he can find her response. I know how hard it was for me when I was first starting out, how scary it can be, you're putting yourself out there hoping someone will see just how awesome you are. I can only imagine it's more difficult coming in as a minority to the field.

Thank you for your support and I'm glad my response to this incident has given you pause. I don't feel like my reaction is extraordinary, so that's been a bit of an eye opener.

I've already got a few leads, I met with a local start-up guru who's going to introduce me to some CEO's. I feel confidant I'll be employed very shortly. I don't feel comfortable reaching out to you privately based on your contact with Adria over twitter but we do run in the same circles and I will reserve a righteous high five for if/when we meet.

Well, it certainly improves it better than this throwaway profile you just created to comment on this thread.
I don't believe its true, I believe it should have ended with, "you become a player, enjoy the game". People that believe otherwise are just deluding themselves. I believe that good designers can be good programmers and/or good artists. They may not be the best in those categories but to design what they want they have to know how it can be accomplished.

The number of water cooler game designers is immeasurable.

I would agree on his assessment of Chris Roberts though, of himself I do think he was truly innovative when the media was young but I am not so sure now.
This is awesome! Can't wait to read it.

No, I'm referring to the Nate/Cyworld incident, in which an update to the Alyak (알약) antivirus program, developed by ESTsoft, was regarded as a prime suspect. Alyak is extremely popular in Korea, due to the fact that it is free and comes bundled with Alzip (알집), a popular compression utility. IMO the entire Altools (알툴즈) family of programs is utter shit. Their entire domain is blacklisted in every PC I manage.

Ahnlab is a much more respectable company, and I have yet to hear of a major security incident where Ahnlab software was implicated. Their V3 line of software are clearly not the best in the industry, but I would be very surprised if they were any worse than other antiviruses.

Edit: According to the latest news, today's malware was disguised as a component of an antivirus program sold by Hauri, Inc. (하우리)
Being in the same boat (re: OSS contributor, not my day job), I can totally empathize with your initial reaction to his post, but honestly nothing you quoted is incivility. It's genuine frustration from a new user caused by your documentation with complete steps on how to reproduce the problem. If you printed the average open source user's feedback out on gold foil using platinum ink, this guy's feedback would still be more valuable.

My case is a little different from general chronic pain where the exact cause cannot be diagnosed, when I was a child I was run-over by a truck, I survived but had back and neck injuries. Over the years the pain became worse but even at it's worse I personally can still feel other pain, even on medicine (I am treated with opiates) I am able to feel pain, the medicine just makes the mind able to ignore it and not allow it to drive a person mad. Before I was treated for it, I remember when I would get injuries that hurt worse than my back/chest/neck it actually would kind of be a relief because it was different, it was not the same pain that grinds you down day in and day out. Non the less, I still felt it and it still hurt, but it was a physical pain where chronic and contentious pain turns into a mental anguish. The best thing I ever did was seek the help of pain management, for better or worse, the war on drugs has stigmatized some of the most effective medicines for pain treatment, I was a victim of the propaganda for years and believed that I would end up a mindless junky if I took the medicine. I was under the impression it was where people in pain go to die a death as a junky. Funny part was, it was the day I got my life back.

Ask HN: Need (mid-life) Career Advice
Hellow HN SmartyPants,

First of all let me get this out of the way:
I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CODE

I'm 33 y/o, making good money analyzing private jets interiors structures, bored to death and I feel like I'm working for the devil.

I want to do something new where I can find intellectual challenge, be creative and inline with my core values (humanity & the environment).

My main problem is that I have too many fields of interest and cannot seem to be able to make a decision. I've contemplated dozens of potential careers, PhDs in math, science, social science, writing books, filming documentary, acting, journalism. I'm at cross-roads and I feel totally paralyzed.

Any advice? Any books suggestions?

I really really love this community.

Community hugs :)
I just had a similar epiphany, at 45, my chronic pain was a signal I needed to take better care of myself. As such, I think I'm in a good spot to help my other friends and family deal as their bodies start falling apart. As difficult as it is, you need to get your mind right. And you will regress, but you'll be back, a different kind of cycle for you ;)

Your tale is nothing short of ridiculous. What's even crazier, though, is the fact that you aren't alone. Many people find themselves in similar traps due to unscrupulous relatives. (hopefully that makes you feel slightly better)

"The expectation that everyone is out to screw me, and that everyone will renege on every promise they will ever make to you." <-- I'm (glad?) you learned this early on. I learned this after college and I feel I would have done things differently had I realized this earlier.
I'm curious what is in the redacted parts that still needs to be classified? Surely nothing from 1974 is still state-of-the-art today. Surely no covert operatives are still in danger from the 70's (though I guess it's possible).

The next time you use superglue (cyanoacrylate) and want it to dry and harden instantly, go get some baking soda and gently sprinkle the soda over the superglue. It instantly hardens, albeit with a mottled texture.

I've done that before when I got superglue on my finger, and wasnt sure what was water and what was glue. Some baking soda, and it hardens for me to see and feel it. Also worked well on my RepRap, when I had my X-idler delaminate.
What would you recommend instead? XMPP?
Word. Good luck.
Great , news ! Backbone was the first framework i used to create rich web apps. What's great is that it is both usefull for LOB apps and more specific apps like Games , Complex editors , etc ...
All the responses to the parent comment are missing the reference. It's a rephrasing of a comment on another post on HN, about Ruby on Rails.

"Recognizing that it is not politically correct in these parts to pose this question, I sometimes wonder if the Github team (which seems like a highly-skilled, competent team) regrets building on Rails." [1]

I'd be interested on which MVC framework you feel in the web community changed the whole conversation on how to develop web applications before Rails became popular. Maybe you could school us on this alternate history?

Personally, I have a different recollection. I seem to remember the PHP MVC frameworks and ASP.Net MVC and and whatever the hell Java people use all came out because Rails and Django became popular. I do remember Django helped but as an outsider to the two frameworks I seemed to get the feeling Rails was clearly the thought leader.
Sounds reasonable, but XMPP seems harder to setup though... Or I'm over reacting?
That depends a lot on the company. I've seen game-designers which took it easy, but I've also worked with good ones which took their job extremely serious.

The good ones are able to catch problems before stuff is coded or modeled. A good designer manages to describe every object needed (including rough sketches what they should look like and describing needed animations), every mission condition (which is very close to coding and needs good understanding what is technically possible). A good designer can describe the GUI pretty much ahead in a way that coders don't have to rework it over and over until it fits (including describing stuff like left-click/right-click/drag&drop/selection box behavior which can get very tricky pretty fast in games). A really good designer might even know excel good enough to calculate all kind of stuff through before even approaching any coders.

A bad designer thinks it's all just about some great idea and throwing in lots of stuff and the team will do the rest. A good designer knows it's 90% about describing details and about removing as much stuff as possible.
> We are "the government," and we have no interest in invading the personal privacy of U.S. citizens.

That is interesting. That may be true for the people who made that statement, though it's hard to guarantee it for anyone who has ever or will ever have access to NSA information. You don't have to believe in a nefarious Big Brother to be concerned about the perhaps inevitable potential for mistakes or abuse by some individuals behind "Government's applications of new information technology". History offers plenty of examples, after all.
Thank you for writing this. That is all I am going to say.

This is awesome, bookmarked. This will help me because I've always struggled with CSS since I never sat down and actually learned it.

Just one thing - much of the text doesn't seem to render so smoothly. Is that intentional or is it just me...? Chrome on Windows fwiw.
I think comparisons between update the frequency of two different types of software is foolish.

"Operating system" means different things to different people, and Android is not a OS in the sense that iOS is one.

iOS is the software that comes preinstalled on the iPhone. Android is the cross-platform environment that companies like Samsung use as a base for the software that comes preinstalled on their devices.

An "iOS release" is the time when the ROM that is delivered to the iPhone is finished and has been tested. An "Android release" is a milestone when about 70% of Samsung's ROM is finished, and they now start adding customizations, applications, QA etc.

New features to the Apple app store and iTunes are part of an iOS version update. The Play store, Google Music, Maps etc are updated multiple times each year, often to devices that are based on an older version of Android.

Don't get me wrong: Version legacy is a problem for most Android engineers. It becomes better with every release (2.3 is much more fun to code for that 1.6 was). But of course we would all like to work for the latest version as soon as it is released.

But on the other hand: At least we do have a cross platform technology like Android now. There used to be 100s of devices before Android was around, and companies like Apple still do this "make a new app just for our phone" thing. I'm very glad that today I can write a single application for HTC sense and Samsung TouchWiz. It's not a 100% perfect cross platform environment, and somestimes I still have to write some extra code for each devices.

But a 90% cross platform technology with legacy problems is still much better than not having a cross platform technology in the first place.

As for the consumer point of view: "Android" is not what he is buying. If a device gets updates or does not depend on the software, but on the service provider who is responsible for the software on your phone. That is usually the company that you bought the phone from.

Samsung's top phones get an OS update about once per year, just like Apple does it. For about two years after it was released, which is worse than Apple, but not aweful.

Some vendors are better (Google, Asus), some are worse (LG, Motorola). But that is not a software issue. It's just a misunderstanding that companies and press are not good at explaining to consumers: That Android is not an alternative to the iPhone. Galaxy S, HTC One and Nexus are, and you don't get the same software and service if you buy any of these.

An important item this article is missing is their definition of entrepreneur.

In the Philippines in the area I live I can reach a dozen stores within a 5 minute walk. These are stores people run out of their homes. They generally have a room with a barred window where people can walk up and buy basic goods.

Downtown, every parking area has numerous people who will park your scooter and they work off tips. Kids go from bar to bar selling peanuts. Vendors walk around selling fake viagra and cheap watches. People setup make-shift food carts in areas which are heavily trafficked.

Most of these people are working without any sort of license. They are hustlers doing what they need to do to get by. That's my definition of entrepreneur. If you were to survey these people using the same questions the article used, then they would get very different responses.
This is very impressive! I'd love to use this on new projects. I have some new projects coming up just around the corner. Do you have any ideas when you plan to release?
In my experience with superglue-based liquid bandage, it works poorly on an actively bleeding wound, as the blood mixes with and breaks through the glue before it sets.

I worked at IBM in 1987. My group's secretary was AMAZING! I remember walking up to her one day. She could talk to me in English, chat to her girlfriend on the phone in Spanish and type a hundred words a minute on the Selectric through her dictation headphone simultaneously and not miss a beat. Simply amazing!
That may sound like a nice idea, but it's a expression about your principles where she has deal with all of the consequences. The ring is for her, she will be the one who has to explain this decision to everyone who asks about the ring (read: absolutely everyone in her life). Many of these people will have diamond wedding rings, so now she has to explain this decision in a way to doesn't offend them. No offense, but she may prefer to spend that time gushing about how excited she is about her upcoming marriage and how awesome her fiancé is.

The ring does have functional value, but for her and not for you. Part of the point is that is doesn't directly benefit you at all.
I've been using Readability for over a year and am very happy with it. It eliminates all the clutter and send me a very nice and readable document. If you do not want to send but make the article "readable" that is also possible with the plug-in. No need for a button either, I use shortcuts.
Thinking more about this - why not create just that.

We might choose to, but we don't "have to". It's about tradeoffs. A polite question might have been politely answered in the thread. A sarcastic rant like this results in a 110-response story at the top of HN with multiple apologetic posts from the developers.

CDNs have really assumed the role of ISP-level caching - the good CDNs are co-located with the big ISPs anyway, so the effect is the same. IMO, it's a better solution because it allows the content-server much better control over the exact details of the caching and allows stuff like partial caches. The problem with ISP-level caching is just what you suggest: they screw it up.

Things Not to Share With VCs and Others Pre-Term Sheet
About nine months ago, I tried Ember. I'm not a huge javascript guy, but I'm pretty good in Rails and have written a handful of javascript things. But anyway, I just couldn't get the stuff to work. All the tutorials, walkthroughs, getting started guides, git repos.... just tons of cryptic errors, strange behavior and terrible documentation. It seemed cool. I really wanted to like it.

But- I essentially got "the documentation is in the code" as an answer.

I don't know why Javascript programmers can't be bothered to return meaningful errors that actually hint at fixing the problem, especially when they are super common errors that everyone hits (such as the Handlebars version thing that was mentioned here).
This is such a tragedy. Malcolm was always very helpful and patient with me when I started digging deep into Django. We've lost a giant. RIP Malcolm.
I am a former critical care medic, and lack the scientific training to judge the merits of their claims about mechanism of action, but if history is any guide regarding ‘miracle’ products it will not live up to the manufacturers claims.

The use cases I can think of and commentary:

-Hemostasis after non-emergent ear/nose/throat procedures.
-Packing of the wound + local epinephrine administration is currently used. It costs nothing, is well understood, and doesn’t have the potential for embolization or immune system interaction weirdness.

-Hemostasis of an extremity wound AFTER a tourniquet has been applied.
-After a tourniquet is properly placed, the arterial flow is halted. Trauma teams have learned from military and orthopedic surgeons that tourniquets are much safer than traditionally understood. Even an amputated limb has a warm ischemia team of 6 hours. The addition of a clotting agent would stop venous oozing, but wouldn’t affect hemodynamics of the patient. It might assist in the case of an inappropriately applied tourniquet.

-Hemostasis of an abdominal wound.
- I guess they envisage pouring this material into the abdomen? That seems like the place most fraught with danger of embolization distally to the mesentery and the generation of immune system interaction weirdness beyond my knowledge base.

A kaolin-based product (Quickclot) was similarly marketed as a wonder drug for treating massive hemorrhage on the battlefield, and it has been less than wonderful in practice. There are youtube videos attesting to its efficacy on the femoral arteries of swine, however these videos ignore the effect wind has upon the powder in a combat setting, and the exothermic reaction that takes place to create the plug. The only way to stop a large hemorrhage is to use copious amounts of the material, resulting in severe burns in some case reports. Concern over embolization of the clotted material led them to create a gauze-bag version.

The company’s claims that holding pressure over the wound is not required runs counter to basic trauma care recommendations. The single best way to halt life-threatening hemorrhage in an extremity is a tourniquet, and the only thing that halts thorax hemorrhage is a surgeon’s finger. The inclusion of this gel in the treatment algorithm would need to be as a last resort, and must never distract from the basics of direct pressure and rapid transport to a surgeon.

I don't know if this qualifies as an ad hominem on my part, but the article comes across as written by the journalist in close coordination with the companies PR firm. The 'hook' inherent in the choice of headline combined with the lack of any discussion of the limitations of the product or previous failures with regards to ‘miracle’ hemorrhage agents cements this in my opinion.
I worked in the games industry for 12 years and I know a lot of designers that fit this criteria. They had no programming or art skills so they became testers, after that it seems the career path for a tester is either QA lead, or designer.

Probably 75% of the designers I know had a background in QA. Some of them were good designers, most were not. The ones who did have an art or tech background tended to be more grounded in their designs because they had a better idea of what is really achievable with the current tech.
Thank you so much for building this and thank you so much for building this on Open hardware. I can already see a lot of use-cases for this - For example commercial complexes like expensive theaters and 5-star lounges where many people visit everyday. You have your own niche, please don't listen to any of the negative comments (like how this would improve this your life, etc.) It certainly has its place and it would be great if you could drop in your skype, I'd love to have a chat about this (Packaging, Target audience, Marketing, etc)

Cheers,
Neya
