I remember when I was just out of college, I was terrified at how little I could put on my resume. I had a couple internships, sure, but it just felt really sparse. It made me really wrack my brain to come up with as many "skills" as possible. I literally felt like I was trying to trick companies into giving me a chance, since I didn't have much "proof" of my potential. Now that I have plenty of experience, I have a lot more to work with, and it's way easier (especially since I have been on the other side of the resume-reading exercise, so I know what I'd look for).

Hopefully more students can learn what it's like from the company's side and have a better picture for what they're expecting. If they are going for a low-level position, I'd give them a break on the resume and experience, and really dig for potential. Everyone has to start somewhere.
Yeah. So Paymill-sales has an account on the same day registered as yours and accidentally posts the same content as your post first ( http://cl.ly/image/3i0t1y233M0b ). Also, judging from your post history I'd say: this doesn't help Paymill in any way, quite the opposite really.

"I wonder if that might do something like clear your working memory and make you less able to make connections between things."

Your list is sometimes in internal conflict with itself. I have excellent conscious concentration ability and food memory leading to sometimes getting stuck in local maxima for a given situation. Clear the working memory, remove the "stuck" and suddenly free to snap onto the global maxima for a given situation. Or sometimes not. Complex tools are not like screwdriver; sometimes you can't even tell what the right tool for the job is, much less expect it to work. Often enough, using a different tool works better than trying harder with one thats already not working.
Says who?

Says the fact that PHP and Ruby are both object oriented imperative scripting languages that are commonly used for connecting to a DB and spitting out markup. It's impossible to shove a refrigerator into the back of a sedan, but there is no analogous refrigerator that PHP xor Ruby is incapable of hauling.

By which objective measure of "prettier" and "streamlined"?

Well it is subjective, but the nebulous consensus is that Ruby has a cleaner and more readable syntax than PHP.
Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_salt

It looks like a fairly universal currency: Roman soldiers were paid in it (at least, "salary" comes from the word for salt), as were soldiers in the American War of 1812. In Timbuktu they traded salt for slaves. It created cities and the Polish kingdom. It was taxed for hundreds of years in Europe.

These days salt is practically free, but when the only way to get it was from mining or by evaporating ocean water (neither very readily accessible in many parts), and unlike gold, you tended to consume it in preserving food, it was worth a bit more.

You seem to have an extremely limited view of government jobs.

The government does need rubbish collectors, DMV personnel, and cleaners, all the way up to engineers, accountants and lawyers. Not to mention policemen, teachers, the defense force.

BTW the DMV is smart enough to realise voters don't care and can save money by having extremely long DMV lines. People working at a DMV can't change anything, and probably care even less.
I would be more impressed if detailed pseudo code was published as that would help someone writing in a different language and would guarantee you actually learn the algorithms; now the code might as well be copy/pasted or blindly translated.
In a way, you're both right.

You are correct in saying that particular example (9/11) cannot be be tried in court. Sometimes the perpetrators are obvious and sometimes it's impossible to follow established court proceedings to legally appoint the blame.

But the former poster is also correct that we shouldn't go around passing judgements without taking matters to court and giving all parties a fair opportunity to prove their case.

This is the problem that the government face, they do occasionally need special powers to combat unusual circumstances. The problem is knowing where to toe the line. In my opinion, they've hop, skipped and jumped over that line.
I use the DMV in Redwood City, CA, and efficiency is not my experience there. They have the worker pool model as well. The last time I was there, I was unfortunate to be in the pool with the worker who could barely type. He processed 2-3 customers in an hour, while the Asian gentleman who replaced him at lunch processed 5 times as many. The first gentleman, I assume, is fit for his current position or McDonalds.

I have used stunningly efficient DMVs. They do exist. But the existence of DMVs that do not scrape the bottom of the barrel for hiring, and are more efficient because of it, is proof of my point, if you take a moment to think about it.
I've actually been thinking about offering a code review service, since it would fit well with the way I like to work. Personally, I wouldn't want to do one-hour reviews, but would be very happy selling four hour blocks of my time.

A third-party code review could easily point out certain problems that aren't only qualitative (e.g., the code is vulnerable to SQL injection attacks). It could also be useful to evaluate programmers. The project owner hires a few different developers to write a single user story, the reviewer tells them which code is the highest quality, and the project owner hires the best coder to do the complete project. For slightly more corporate clients, it could also be used to identify to a non-technical manager where their programmers need additional training.

As far as the reviewer being asked, "How do I fix it?", that could lead to the reviewer offering training material, libraries, or development tools.

This issue has got blown out of proportion, and the facts have been totally lost.

Nothing has been changed. Those of us in the GNOME project were working towards a slightly different solution, which would allow middle-click paste like functionality. That solution didn't work out for the next release (3.10), so we reinstated the old behaviour.

Everyone needs to calm down. We're not going to simply remove middle-click paste.
Both! I have plenty of drafts in the area. Right now I’m working on binary analysis / translation / decompilation using LLVM (I’m actually gearing up for an RFC/patch on the mailing list): http://dagger.repzret.org.
If you’re curious, I gave a talk at the LLVM Euro conference about the kind of problems you’d have, and some interesting use cases.

We’ve been quiet ever since, I’ll get back to writing about the meat once we have something out there, and more feedback from the community!
Tell us what about that excerpt doesn't precisely describe what has been occurring in the US?

No one said we're going to become Nazi Germany, but Nazi Germany also didn't appear out of thin air. There were a series of actions and evolution at the state level that eventually provided the necessary preconditions for Nazi Germany to exist. I'm sure that what ended up being Nazi Germany was one of several path that Germany could have taken given those necessary preconditions that permitted its existence. We don't know what those other paths are, one of those paths could be where we end up instead. What is known, is that this ever widening gap permits individuals, possibly several acting in concert and possibly in the belief that they are doing the right thing to exert undue influence upon the political decisions of the country for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many. The two wars we have become embroiled in unnecessarily are prime examples of such acts.

We probably won't become Nazi Germany. But there is nothing going on that suggests that we won't become something that is a democracy or republic only in name, and that the will of the people and the rights of individuals simply become inconsequential. I personally have no reason to believe that we will become Nazi Germany, but I have every reason to believe that we are becoming a nation that no longer protects my rights and the rights of my fellow citizens and that we are becoming a nation that protects the self interest of the few at the expense of the self interest of the many... us.

Yes, and that may be a fine decision. If it's your house, and you want ringing the doorbell to play a symphony, and you want to store your cereal in the closet, that's fine. Whatever make s you happy.

The issue is when you ask other people to live in the house with you. How hard will it be for them? Is the cost worth it?

Maybe yes, maybe no.

Greenwald has written a New York Times bestselling book on executive authority, broken lots of stories on my blog about wiretapping that led to front-page stories on most major newspapers in the country, and Russ Feingold read from his blog during the Censure hearings.

"Inline assembly code is not good for the compiler, it can't really optimize it at all."

Actually it can, if you have a way to specify register usage (gcc does) and the programmer gives the right specification. Unfortunately, that almost never seems to happen in practice.
It may be taught that way, but do kids learn it that way? Kids learn a bunch of "facts", and are tested on their capability to repeat those facts in a timely manner. Then they are taught rote-level procedures for combining those facts in order to do arithmetic on multi-digit numbers. The fact that subtraction is the opposite of addition gets demoted to "interesting bit of trivia".

For most school kids, algebra is the first place where the art of mathematics comes into play: where you are given a problem, and are not told specifically how to get from here to a solution. You have to figure that out yourself with the aid of mathematical tools.

For most people, who aren't used to the art of logical thinking, that is crushing.

Logstash, Elasticsearch and Kibana are just fantastic. After being unsatisfied with a whole bunch of Logging As A Service providers (I tried loggly.com, logentries.com and splunkstorm.com) I spent an afternoon setting up Logstash and co and couldn't be happier.

There's a neat demo of Kibana here: http://demo.kibana.org/#/dashboard/elasticsearch/Logstash%20...

The only thing that isn't fully baked in with this stack is alerts (e.g. sending an email if a certain error log message comes in), but you can do that using Logstash filters and outputs, although there's no pretty UI.

There are some excellent Chef cookbooks for setting up Logstash and friends too:

...the 50 algorithms that every programmer should know.

Enough with the "everyone should know everything". I have had a fairly long and successful career as a software developer and I don't know half that stuff off the top of my head. I think it's important to know that they exist and where to look for them, but very few developers really need this on a day to day basis.
But it is difficult to imagine a mechanism where the lead could be caused by the crime and easy to imagine one where the crime is caused by the lead. A separate independent cause that affects crime and lead is easy to imagine, but if you control for location where people live, or lived when young (which is largely a measure of poverty) and still saw the correlation between lead and crime, then I would say that was quite strong evidence that lead poisoning (which is known to have mental effects) causes behavior patterns that lead to crime.
Anything with that many hammers is going to end up overwrought.

Martini Media Raises $14M To Target Ads At Rich People
Ofcourse the message here is 'too much abstraction'.

There are loads of bad frameworks that want to be too smart and too clean. I mean, there is nothing wrong with writing HTML. But I've seen stuff like:

$output .= $framework->dom->returnInputElement('text', 'name', $initValue, $options);

That's nice and all but when it just returns the element without any extra functionality I think its just a waste of code and resources.
One of the Peelian principles for the police force is: "The test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with it." Incentives matter, and in the same way we shouldn't establish incentives for treating prisoners as resources to be exploited for profit.
I think its not frameworks he has a problem with but JAVA itself, I came to the conclusions he arrived at a long time ago, JAVA doesnt save you time on large projects it makes you drown in needless bloat and abstractions and more worrying if working in a large team allows some members to float along easily. but hey its "an enterprise programming language" right?
I would personally have preferred Lua via eLua or LuaJIT over Javascript.

And I don't know where he got his stat about "Most JavaScript runtimes no longer interpret JavaScript". And I don't see a single thing backing that up.

As far as I know, sandhyavandana is not a kind of meditation. Sandhyavadana is mostly japa. Meditation is dhyana. When people cite benefits of meditation, they are usually citing studies of mindfulness meditation. Perhaps you'll see some benefits from sandhyavandana/japa also, I doubt it, but that's not what the studies that laud meditation are talking about.
Yes, and that is really the issue here. Not all frameworks work the same way and some do come with an insanely amount of unneeded overhead.

In this case the judge wasn't constrained by the system and he still agrees with his 12 year sentence. Where the constraint often comes in is the federal minimum sentencing guidelines as pointed out by Shon here[1].

In the 1990s, Congress passed several get-tough-on-crime mandatory minimum sentencing bills. One of those laws requires a judge to impose an additional 25-year sentence for anyone convicted of a second or subsequent firearm charge. Without these laws, Adam may have received the same 12-year sentence I did. Instead, mandatory minimums allowed prosecutors to transform a crime that averages a 10-year sentence into life imprisonment.

> government-job level human potential

I'm so fucking sick of hearing (presumably conservative) people badmouth and dismiss all government employees. Are you contemptuous of the law enforcement officers who protect? The firefighters who would risk their lives to save your ass should your home catch fire? The over-worked, underpaid, disrespected teachers like my wife who slave away educating your [God I hope you don't have any] children? The National Guard and FEMA workers who would pick you up off your roof in the event of a flood? The DOT employees who construct the highways you drive on? The FDA workers who make sure that everything you put in your mouth is safe and poison-free?

But no, those whole groups of people are to be held in contempt. They're all incompetent DMV workers unfit for jobs in the private sector.

I'm sorry that I'm kind of losing my shit on here right now. Maybe you don't deserve that, IDK. I've kind of been rehearsing this diatribe since a few weeks ago when my uncles went off on this tangent at a family gathering, even declaring "the only thing a government employee cares about is their paycheck." I said nothing at the time and regretted it later as the arrogance, scorn and fucking vacuity of that comment wormed its way further and further under my skin.

The patently obvious thing to say at that moment would have been something along the lines of "Oh, and are private sector employees not motivated by pay?" What a moronic assertion, that public employees, who are frequently overpaid and certainly not overpaid compared to their private sector counterparts, are somehow more motivated by financial gain than private sector employees. I suppose the firefight working for < $30k/year is just greedy. Same for my wife, who with her Master's in Education pulls in less than a Junior developer at Innitech. Obviously the only reason they do the work they do is for the pay. Whereas the VP of Sales at GE does what he does out of altruism and selflessness.

Ridiculous.

Are there incompetent, unmotivated government employees? Certainly. Are they more prevalent than disengaged employees in huge private corporations? I'm not so sure. All I know is, with all the shitting on that gets done en masse on government employees, someone needs to defend them.
> That is .. government-job level human potential

Methylation can happen in gametes also, making some epigenetic changes heritable. The precise mechanisms of methylation are under intense study, but not well understood; it doesn't appear to be a random process in general.

This points to an almost-paradox in biology, which I call Lamarck's Lemma: There may be evolutionary advantage to being able to pass on acquired traits to one's offspring, and no known physical law that prevents it. Why, therefore, would biology not develop at least some Lamarckian mechanisms, since they could offer fitness in the Darwinian sense?

Answer: there appears to be exactly that. It's an exciting time for genetics.
