Haven't done much golang and don't have it installed on this laptop, but are string comparisons constant time?

If not, I think there is potential for a timing attack here?

For those SEEKING WORK, especially remote, are you getting (serious) inquiries from HN?
Let's see:

1. Companies want to pay as little salary as possible

2. Programmers want to get paid as high a salary as possible

It's almost as if supply and demand was more than a theoretical concept!
there are better places than HN to get salary information. for example, glassdoor
In my opinion: Our work-like balance got awful when we became greedy.

I'm not nearly 50% as smart as the HN demi-gods around here, but I've learned to tame my desires.

I live in a humble house and have shitty possessions - but I only have to work 20 hours a week to keep the lights on.

In my opinion, you have to learn to make hard choices with an eye for the long term. Here's an example: For us, we decided that sending our three children to a good Lutheran school was important Our observation was that it was wiser to educate our children in knowledge, but also values and heart. We anticipate that at 18 years of age, they'll be functioning adults and we won't have to prop them up into their 20's.
> especially as you haven't given any supporting reasoning or facts or even stated what you think the implications of an anarchist society are.

Because it almost always results in a waste of time. But you're right and I probably went a little bit too far with my characterization of you.

To me the fundamental mistake that anarchists make is failing to realize that by getting rid of the state they're pretty much enabling any other citizen or group of citizens to impose their rule eventually. Everybody just won't fall in line with the anarchist utopia (even though they might for a while) and it will be just a matter of time for a group of people to take advantage of the situation. It make take years or decades but in time, you will be just substituting one bad for another.
"Not quite"?? Did you really just write that when I wrote approx $40K?? Which it clearly is. Wow, someones afraid to be wrong.

http://www.minuscode.com is a tech collective based in Portugal, with experience with startups going from concept to market.

Feel free to ask us anything.
I would like to belong to a collective. I had a discussion with a friend a while back that a lot of code we write is reusable. And while there is always this work for hire clause the truth is a lot of us reuse ideas/snippets of code from one place to the next.

I think there should be some type organization a developer can belong to that helps with this kind of legal stuff.
I find it utterly ridiculous that people are complaining about a "talent shortage" when a typical 35-year-old software engineer can't buy a house in the Bay Area.

You tell a shortage by price signals, and useless bikeshedding executives out-earn engineers by quite a bit, but no one takes this (I hope) to mean that there's a useless-meddling-executive shortage.

This concept of a "talent shortage" is hereby banned until we're seeing 25-year-old software engineers buying third homes. When we're at that point, we can start worrying about this so-called "shortage".

There is a shortage of talented people doing useful things for society, but that's more of a job shortage than a people shortage.
Did you actually read the article?

Please don't do that. That kind of snark doesn't add anything to the conversation and creates antagonism where there should be none.

Computer Science graduates are doing OK. It is Information Science graduates who are in pain here.

No, Information Science graduates are just in more pain. And that's entirely expected, as a recent IS graduate is even less prepared to go out and work in the "IT World" than a recent CS graduate... if you assume that's a reasonable career path for them (and given the limited number of academic jobs, it probably is).
When we were really little our mom thought Lego kits were expensive single-use toys. Fortunately she still got us a few kits and once she realized we could build hospitals and football stadiums and booby-trap houses out of the same pieces, she saw the light and started funding a Lego collection that has grown to fill an entire play loft in my brothers' room. It is possible for ignorant parents to become enlightened!

If Pleygo gets Lego pieces into the hands of a child whose parents wouldn't have bought them otherwise because of the expense, I think it's a good thing. Maybe once the kids turn their fort pieces into Trojan horses and their railroads into roller coasters, the parents will realize the power of Lego to accommodate creativity. I doubt it will take long for kids to start nagging parents for multiple kits. At that point, hopefully the parents will wise up and cancel their subscription.

Ideally that's what would happen, but I'd be curious to see what actually takes place.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it would be more statistically robust if we had the following pieces of information: the age of the voluntary responder, how long the responder had been in the industry, the responder's educational background, the responder's specific role at their company (e.g. C-level, entry-level, etc.), the responder's gender, the responder's ethnicity, the responder's prior work experience, maybe even the responder's most recent work performance evaluation.

This poll is just exploratory, and it's interesting from that perspective. It'd be even more interesting if there was a survey like the above--but then we'd have to make inferences from a much smaller sample of the population, I would expect. So there's that trade-off.
The cost of living in San Francisco, according to Numbeo, is overall lower than London: http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?coun...

Having said that, food is mostly more expensive in SF, and the results there are skewed by the cost of cigarettes being much lower.

Rent appears to be higher, which I've also been told by a three or four ex-Londoners who've moved to SF.

Unfortunately, the bottleneck usually is the period until your priority date becomes current and you can actually submit form I-485. Processing the I-485 normally only takes a few months, unless it gets stuck in the FBI background check somehow.

While it's true that the bulk of H1B are bodies for Indian body shops it's not a problem with H1B, it's the problem with the corrupt government issuing visas to body shops.

> Ideally, employers would hire new CS graduates and spend a year or more grooming them, teaching then the specialized skills they need in that specific domain, and helping them ramp up

Please No. That is what they do in Japan and I'd feel that's the number one reason programmers get paid shit in Japan. They hire straight out of school with no experience with salaries starting at around $30k. At 15 years experience you'll make somewhere between $45k and $60k.

Programmers in Japan make less than flight attendants

Some people would say that's a reason they're in trouble. As the world switched to software being more important then hardware they didn't switch to valuing those that make software.
SEEKING WORK ― Barcelona ― Remote

I've been working in software startups for more than 15 years, some of which I founded or co-founded. As an entrepreneur I'm a generalist, yet specializing in full-stack web and mobile development with Ruby on Rails and Clojure.

I'm the author of noir-auth-app ( https://github.com/xavi/noir-auth-app ), a quite popular open-source Clojure base web app with authentication.

London, UK - full-time. https://www.arachnys.com

Arachnys is a London-based, pre-Series A startup that aims to solve the problem of finding relevant, accurate business information in emerging markets. Our product gives even small companies the reach of a global intelligence platform, allowing them to find and understand business data even in challenging environments like the Middle East or Latin America, regardless of language, format or source.

We already have meaningful revenues, selling predominantly to enterprises who need to understand more about their counterparties, customers and distributors globally. Our customers range from vast multinationals to small private intelligence outfits.

We are looking for at least two developers to help us accelerate work on the myriad hard problems that we are solving. Currently we are a team of eight - with four engineers - so you would have a huge opportunity to shape the technological future of the company.

Startup atmosphere, real salary, flexible working hours and quality equipment provided.

We are a Python shop so expertise in that (and, inevitably, JavaScript) is a strong advantage (Django is our framework of choice). We have a number of different application components, including multiple distributed applications, so experience orchestrating large numbers of machines with tools like Chef or even Fabric would help. Above all though we want smart, multitalented people who can think for themselves and take pride in their work.

Willing to consider remote applicants only if they can commit to at least 1-2 days/week in London in a normal week.

To apply: email founders@arachnys.com to introduce yourself and your Github profile (or some other code you've authored or contributed to).

SEEKING WORK - Remote or Germany

I am running a two man web, print and iOS agency (me coding, my partner moving pixels). We are located in Heidelberg and Leipzig / Germany.

I have been a freelancer for 10 years. I prefer Django and Python but I also have shipped projects with Ruby (Sinatra, RoR), C++ and PHP (Wordpress). Server administration was and still is part of my daily life as writing solid, test covered code and doing the usual frontend work.

My partner studies printing technologies and joined me after finishing her apprenticeship as digital media designer, as one of the three best graduates in her year. Her daily work includes designing logos and brands (business cards, catalogs,...) and making the things I build pretty.

We typically work with freelancers and small businesses but also realized big projects for international clients.

If you are interested in working with us - or one of us - you can send us an email at info@blazeit.de

Ask HN: How to fully utilize accelerator's mentor resource?

Is the 2.1 number you refer to a GPA? What's it out of?
Why is this the case? I'm a frontend dev for a startup in London and I make 18k annually (80% of that because I only work 4 days a week). It's peanuts, but luckily I don't mind being poor.
Plus, a prevailing ideology is never going to (or back to) jail at all costs, alongside an opinion it belief that any contact with police - no matter how minor or even lawful - carries that huge risk.

So that minor chance of getting away or out of that scenario is mighty appealing, and running could certainly be a reflex for many.

I never tested it with things like reddit, 4chan or HN. It's meant for lyrics, and I'm kind of like "random things are to be expected when you enter random things". It'll always have to be looked up on Youtube though, so it's not like you'll never see extreme things.

Of course it is. If you are single you can live comfortably in zone 1 for that, even in Kensington. All-in rent for about £1k. I'm confused by the replies saying you can't. There's people living happily near me earning a lot less than that.
That's very true and it reminds me of our local farm show that awards prizes for the best vegetables, baked goods, and handcrafts. There's a category for Lego models and every year, I see wonderfully inventive creations by kids of all ages, but the prizes always go to the expensive kits that anyone can make just by following instructions. (Sometimes there were duplicate kits and the prize would go to the people who desecrated their models by slathering them with paint!)

We were so enraged by this when we were younger that we wrote a letter to the farm show committee asking them to rethink their judging criteria. It didn't work, sadly, but maybe one day I will be able to volunteer as a judge. I'd look for inventive mechanics, a nice sense of style, and unusual uses for mundane pieces. I'd want to rewrite the admission manual as well, with better categories than "miscellaneous land vehicle" and "diorama."
