They forgot to mention the best new feature - changing the code name from Nadia to Olivia. Olivia sounds much more... stable.
On the other hand whenever I read support for HTML5, CSS, JS, it's like... something dies in me.
So, will be staying with Nadia for a little while longer.
File-level static non-POD instances are a big no-no. If you really (really) need a global static, move it into function scope in a function which returns the static (singleton pattern). (Additional tricks can be used to ensure it is only initialized once in a thread-safe manner.)

(for example you have to use IE to work because much of their sofware works only as ActiveX controls)

This is a problem endemic to South Korea. They actually passed legislation in the late 90s mandating the use of ActiveX for security. Now that ActiveX is an orphaned technology, that isn't working out so well for them. They are trapped on an old version of IE.

Why do you assume that because many people does something it's correct to do it? I think you should reformulate your question like "what do you think most successful silicon valley...".

I don't mean that technical skill is everything in a tech company, but it's a very important part of it.
I'm sure even Apple has some criticial, internal application in finance or some other part of the corporate structure that they bought from a vendor that uses ActiveX.
You say that flagging is only for spam. It isn't. Flagging is for things that don't belong on HN.

Some things are obviously not suitable for HN. Somethings are obviously suitable for HN.

The tricky area is things that start off being suitable for HN, but then quickly collapse into mindless bickering.

There are some words that act as triggers to poor discussion. I proudly flag threads full of bickering. You should too.
I share your sentiment. Their progress with the Cinnamon is really cool, and I am really tempted to switch, but at the same time, I don't want to miss out on their (hopefully) even more exciting work on future versions.

I've actually been in a very similar situation. I asked for the salary knowing they couldn't pay it and figuring it was my easiest way out without feeling like the bad guy. Hey, I just needed money and they couldn't pay it...Low and behold they unexpectedly accepted my offer. Good news, right? Not really...I wasn't happy, and after getting the salary I felt even more stuck than I was before. Get out while you still can.

Wow that's a nice setup. I'm already using clink (my brother is the author), but I'm checking the rest out now. Thanks!
Wow I did not know CR was still around! I used that back when I was doing my BS about 10 years ago. A lot of people used it with Visual Basic.

I remember learning to interface VB with Microsoft's Word libraries in order to create reports in DOC to avoid using Crystal Reports (this mainly just for college projects). I also remember one real-life project (for a restaurant I did during college) where we proposed the client to have DOC reports and he was amazed that it could be done.

OTOH, I ted to think that those things like CR, JIRA, Lotus Notes and others are a necessary evil. The mere fact that they continue existing is because they solve some kind of problem (otherwise people won't use them, right?). I guess the main problem of these platforms is that once they grow so big (trying to accomplish a lot of things) they become difficult to manage or use.
The tl;dr part should just say "If you haven't started coding yet, then you shouldn't bother much about unit testing" which is.. well... common sense.
Note that I sign transaction offline. To put it simply your address is a private key, from which a public key (the public address) is derived. You can have one client, synced to the Blockchain, displaying your balanced, able to make transactions.

Then you take that transaction to an offline computer or source and sign it, take it back to the online computer and transmit it to the network. /roughly, see the other link for better information

Perhaps it makes me an evil fascist, but I really don't see the big deal in trying to avoid paying taxes, assuming you're doing so legally. Liberals tend to attach some sort of moral component to how much money you give the government, as in if you try to pay less than what they perceive to be your "fair share" (usually some unreasonably high number) then you must be evil.

As if governments have any sort of decent track record on spending intelligently.
Ron Paul and Rand Paul are corporatists. They happen to be right on a couple of issues but they are wrong on almost everything else. A list of things they are wrong on:

- Civil rights : The Pauls have long been against the Civil Rights act though they recently pretend they aren't.

- Environmental regulation : They want none. Our major cities would look like those terrible pictures/video from China. Some of you may be too young to remember but the LA smog of the 80s was pretty bad.

- Finance regulation : They want none, basically. The practices that caused the crash of 2008 haven't been stopped (and actually China is headed for a much, much bigger real estate crash which could make 2008 look mild.) We need regulation to provide a stable economy. See: Elizabeth Warren's many interviews on this subject.

- Right to choose : They are against a woman's right to choose.

- Equal pay : They are against equal pay for equal work laws.

- Food inspection : They are against food inspection and want to rely on the free market to protect us from bad chicken and bean sprouts.

- Health care : Again, they want a totally free market system where poor people are basically told "Good luck, sucker!"

- Worker's rights : Never mind unions, the Pauls are against such simple things as safety regulations, laws requiring lunch breaks, time off, etc. for full time workers. All workers would be at the mercy of their employers. Which might sound great if you've only ever worked white collar jobs, but try go working delivering car parts or something.

- Immigration : As part of their overall isolationist viewpoint, they are not going to treat the millions of illegal immigrants like human beings.

It's not "contrarian bullshit", it's people who actually pay attention pointing out that being right twice a day doesn't make a good clock.

EDIT:

Because apparently I have to do all the work, I've added WHY they're wrong on all these issues.

You may disagree with my viewpoints, but the point of this comment is to show I have well considered reasons for not liking them.
It's unprofessional because in the real-world you're OFTEN (of not most of the time) tasked with tasks that you believe are below your skill-set (or non-world changing as the author put it).

The reward for the hard work is usually being elevated to a project you're proud of, or work you enjoy (sometimes this happens, sometimes it doesn't - that's the workforce - if you're in a situation where you don't see upward mobility, you usually switch out from Co. A to Co. B that'll grant you what you're looking for).

We may all feel the way the poster did at one time or another ("eerrrg my job sucks..."), the difference is we don't write negative, public posts against the company that we worked for (especially considering Samsung's probably recruiting, and there's a "talent shortage" in mobile development at-the-moment).

Good luck clearing due diligence for a job at a large reputable company in the future.

Sidebar, it's not a matter of age either, it's professionalism that he should have known - I'm 23, been in the workforce for 5 years, and I wouldn't be caught dead writing a post like this...
I have two google apps for domains accounts, on personal and one for work, and since the hangouts app shows your contacts, and the contacts are not strictly bound to a g-account on the phone when browsing, the contacts lists and circles are all mixed up. I'm paranoid about chatting with someone at work via my personal account and then polluting their seen-people history contact list with my personal account. This was much easier to keep separate with the gtalk app.

I may need two phones to keep this stuff separate properly.
Hey there. My contact information is in my profile, and you can feel free to send me mail about the challenges or just to say "hi".

Two things to know:

(1) We've got ~4800 people involved in these now and we're doing it largely "by hand", so we can't promise not to occasionally screw up.

(2) A small subset of people seem to have email addresses that both our own mail server and our mail client insist are spam sources, and we never see their mails.

If you're having a hard time getting a response from the "official" address, just mail me.
It's also really handy to be able to refer to a code of conduct directly to curb inappropriate behaviour. Referring to one gives more power to a direct and immediate request for someone to curb his inappropriate behaviour.

This worked has well for me (I'm male, if it matters) at the one conference I've seen inappropriate (if unintended) behaviour. A shout of "that's inappropriate; we have a code of conduct here; move on to the next slide or get off the stage" worked very well for me.

Using this turns an implied "that's inappropriate [in my opinion]" into a specific and much more powerful "that's inappropriate [according to our rules]".
Would security be significantly improved (or at least only really require trust of blockchain.info) if a username/password pair was also required to even get the encrypted private key?

Any technology company that still uses Active-X for anything should be avoided

ActiveX is apparently still really big in South Korea for some reason - http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120507/12295718818/south-...

Nonetheless, if a firm has committed to Windows (which alone is a problem, but assume they've done that), it is perfectly fine to use ActiveX for systems. IE is simply a runtime, and having to use the IE runtime for some internal systems -- get the hell over it.

As others have said, blog posts like this are never professionally constructive. While some readers might sympathize with the writer, most will wonder if the problem is really with the writer (the old http://www.despair.com/dysfunction.html). There is an unavoidable smell that the writer might be toxic.

Which of course the writer can disregard. I've burned bridges and never had an ounce of concern because I understood that I was burning bridges and embraced that. If the author is doing that knowingly, then brilliant for them.
The 12-79 rejection of his amendment is appaling, especially since it directly appeals to the constitution, but that would make it inconvenient for things like the MegaUpload takedown, now wouldn't it.

Alaric might have down better to read a biography of Hemingway instead of reading Hemingway's novels. Then Alaric could have been inspired to have his own adventures instead of spending too much time reading.

Sure, read Hemingway, but then what? Write imitation Hemingway based on reading about adventures? Write the kinds of novel that emerges from a quiet, bookish life, whose only adventures are vicarious?

One vision of the novelist has him leading a full, rich, and busy life. He leads it fast, leaving time before its end to write great novels, full of wisdom about the human condition, based on his immersion in it.

A rival vision of the novelist sees him closer to being a historian. A great novel sees life in the round. Just as a historian gains perspective on events with time and non-participation, a novelist's youthful reading gives him many lifetimes of (vicarious) experience to draw on.

I wonder if Alaric fell between two stools, unclear on which vision of novel writing he was pursuing?
>"He didn't say they're incompetent"

I am not sure about that. From the article: "Secondly Samsung as a corporation is a place of absurdity where doing unnecessary things for about 40% of time is a rule"

That sounds like incompetence to me :)
Honestly, I think it's the natural course of things for feminism to go too far. It's society finding its bounds. When too far is reached, people will revolt, and we'll go the other way again. Eventually, equilibrium will be reached. At least, that's my dumbass arm-chair anthropologist assumption of things.
Your post contains zero information apart from "Here's a bunch of talking points. You go research them"

Edit: Ebbv recently changed his post to elaborate on his points, so while his argument now basically boils down to "I'm a hardline liberal and this is where the Pauls and I differ," my post is no longer relevant.

Multinationals have no choice. Tax avoidance and jurisdictional arbitrage are standard competitive advantages since the 60's when capital controls were evaded by the banks and the 80's with the politically-backed corporate boom.

The problem will never be solved by private companies. It requires political leadership and global cooperation.

That $32 trillion in offshore tax havens ($12 trillion actively managed by international banks) will keep growing otherwise, as governments and society increasingly cannot pay for what they previously spent, let alone the future...
Do you know the equivalent to Alt+. in readline?

And how to incrementally search the history (i.e. anywhere in the command, not just the start of the line like the autocomplete)?

And does fish really need to separate out its subshell from text substitution? E.g. I'd write 'echo "my host is $(hostname)."' in bash, but in fish I seem to need to use 'echo "my host is " (hostname) "."', which is a lot more fiddly, noisy, ugly etc.

And do you know the equivalent of <() in bash? I use that with fgrep -f a lot. And (<todo.txt)? That's another one I use in workflows, though (cat todo.txt) would be a verbose alternative.
Turns out that the batch file thing is a fairly common issue.

If you install the Powershell Community Extensions (PSCX), a pretty useful Powershell module in general, it has a command (Invoke-BatchFile) to execute a batch file and propagate the environment changes back to powershell. (While this is not always sufficient; I have found it to be enough for most purposes)

>>>It's a total waste of time to play that game.

I disagree and the experience of many others in prominent positions have experience that runs counter to that. From the outside, it's easy to dismiss it as a "game" (which is a bit odd, given the popularity of games in software...). From the inside, find a better way to separate those who can make an actual contribution to those who just do what they're told and need to be told what they should do?

>>>Were it not for the job-hopper stigma

In large companies, perhaps, where your entry depends on a corporate checklist. But in a smaller company where the opinion of those doing the hiring counts for more than procedures, it won't matter if you have the skills they need to fill the job. Let's not forget that Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft are all behemoths the size of non-digital corporations.

Thanks for the link.

The result shows he did the right thing not complying, they had no legal grounds for their demands.
I think it's the general sentiment that companies avoid things like paying taxes by skirting around the rules through means available to them due to their wealth and status. While a smaller company isn't going to have the resources at their disposal to gain such advantages.

I guess it's similar to how it people feel like celebrities and executives can always avoid going to jail for things that a regular person would almost definitely end up in jail for.

Or more succinctly, laws aren't perfect and corporations abuse those imperfections.

A bit offtopic, but how did you do the webscraping part?

I'm a bit like the parent, in that I don't commit myself to projects in my "spare time" (ok, after working 10 hours for someone else).

Bigcos aren't the only ones who would be turned off by this post - I do due diligence daily on new employees at a small dev shop, we work startup hours and get dirty when it comes to the work we do (I do mindless crap daily that feels like I should have an intern that does it for me).

The op's post wreaks of entitlement and puts doubt in my mind that he'd be able to sit for 5 hours and setup staging servers, or batch review and comment code so new employees can follow quickly, or do one of the 100 other small, time-consuming, mundane tasks that we all get stuck doing sometimes at ANY size company level.
Your calling someone a corporatist who has fought against every corporate bailout thrown together in Washington? Thats rather silly mate.

I'm not very into any 1 ism myself, but I've studied enough to realize that there are pointed differences between corporatism and capitalism. The Pauls seem to be capitalists. Many others who claim to be capitalists are corporatists.
And it's particularly hilarious the UK complaining about it since they are one of the biggest enablers of tax avoidance in the world. Bermuda and the Isle of Man, for instance, make a complete mockery of British politicians who complain about offshoring.

Based on username, not.
I'd caveat the "you don't know the framework well" by first taking a moment to establish that you can meaningfully test the framework. There's a whole whackload of frameworks out there of all different sorts, even very popular ones, that haven't given a single thought to testability (or only thought about it so late in the process it was too late to do anything about it), either of the framework code itself, or the user code using it, and generally this results in a framework that can't be tested with anything lower than integration testing. I consider this a major negative for a framework.

I can't rigorously prove this, but I suspect that also points at having a framework that is going to tend to gratuitously break your code frequently if you try to upgrade, because they'll have no tests for telling if they have. And neither do you.
