I tried looking at your sight, and cannot find any research that you guys have done and released under the terms of your NSF grant? I suggest you would do yourself a favor to highlight any research you have made available per your terms of accepting the grant. TIA
A bad lawyer is rarely bad in every single case. Going with the recommendations of friends is basically going with anecdotal evidence.

Most bar associations operate a referral service that weeds out lawyers with bad histories. You pay the bar ~$100 and they give you the contact info for the next lawyer in the queue who practices in the field you need.

At least this way you can be sure of getting a lawyer who does not have a history of screwing over any clients badly enough to get a complaint filed rather than a lawyer who did not screw over the one client who happens to be your friend.

It's not "hiding" your IP address, it's changing your affected nameservers to that of the attacker.
Low-cost place usually means a poor country - more risks, bad education/schools (so you have to pay premium for private...), unemployed family members, unemployed parents and other relatives, etc...

So think twice before penalizing people from poor countries.
That may be true. However something is more dangerous if it is very easy (or common) to mis-understand it. I think that is the point that Linus was trying to get at -- bool is dangerous because it is likely to be misunderstood.

I sometimes see spam and astroturfing...in /newest and very briefly, before it's flagged into oblivion and the offending user banned. IMHO the voting system works as designed - keeping such abominations from the front page.
It is easy for me to imagine them doing it, if they wait enough time, that most new hardware has no XP drivers anymore, and most programs/games depend on higher versions of windows APIs, the general public will not care about the then obsolete XP, just like they do not care about DOS, or Windows 3.11 and so on.

I agree that this is an act of kindness, that can not be depended on and it is entirely under MS control when/if it will happen.

30 Days of Honesty, Startup Brings Transparency to Process
Think of the state like a massive conglomerate corporation with huge pockets, many sub-divisions, and long investment timelines and you'll understand my point of view.

My distinction between government and non-government is basically pocket book size and investment timeline.

CoSo - San Francisco, CA

We're a profitable startup who just took $10M in investment. We do secure, scalable web conferencing managed services for large enterprise and government customers like Google, General Motors, SAP, Charles Schwab, KPMG, USAID, IMF, FEMA, DOD.

We're looking for a Frontend Dev who is flat out terrific at javascript. Our stack is backbone, underscore, require, sass, html, and css. We have a great team and we're excited to grow it even more.

We're looking for a couple development operations team members. We're doing interesting things in systems engineering right now. We have 7 global data centers, virtaulized on esx, split environment between windows and linux. The business problem is really interesting, we're going to build a new automation stack on modern technology to replace a legacy in-house stack that's existed for a number of years. We've started to look at automation through puppet and openstack but are still early in the project and open to kick ass people bringing kick ass ideas.

We're also hiring an office manager and some sales people if interested.

> Unemployed Americans are just unwilling to accept those jobs at a price low enough that people are willing to pay it.

I don't understand what's wrong with that. Why shouldn't the price be high to get another person to clean up your detritus? What ill would befall society if everyone but the most brilliant (and ostensibly highly paid) had to clean up after themselves?

Or do you feel that only a certain type of person deserves the dignity of being paid well to clean someone else's toilet?

If there were a basic income guarantee, then the price might go up for cleaning toilets and other filth--if it already isn't high enough that a BIG wouldn't make a dent. But I think rich people would still find people to do the job if they paid enough regardless, so what's the big deal?

I can confirm that the annual training eBay employees are required to take explicitly specifies that you must never give anyone a reference. I find the phenomenon perverse enough that I actually took a screenshot of that point in the training. :/
Because you'll come out of the experience a MUCH better programmer; MUCH, MUCH better. In fact, until you've written a low level device driver and understood the complexities involved, you cannot really understand how much better a programmer you can be.

1) You get better because you learn to manage complexities that are simply not found in MOST application level programs; exceptions are stuff like high-performance database servers and their ilk. You should come out with a really good understanding of how to write multithreaded code, for example;

2) You learn to manage a really big project with lots of related, but complex interconnections;

3) There really is a huge benefit from learning just how a system works at the low-level in becoming a master programmer. Things like cache-issues, virtual memory management, are topics that you may not use everyday, but knowledge of how and what goes on gives you a whole new level of insight.

Anyone who wants to become a master programmer should implement a toy operating system (we can't all be Linus) and a toy compiler. Even better, implement a compiler and then implement the operating system using that compiler.

And the final reason: because it's amazing FUN. That is, if you really like programming. It's so complex, so much hard work and hard thinking, that when your first application program, just Hello World, actually runs to completion, you get high.
I'd be really interested in this if there were a way to get Python to render a ppt into a pdf. Basically, the goal would be to programmatically add a unique watermark to each ppt, render the pdf, and save it. Doing this for 100+ things is not worth the time but if Python can script it up it might be worth investigating. Looks like I need to go read the COM api a bit.
TagCmd - London, UK - Full time. Sorry, no work permits, no remote.

I am looking for JS developers. We are using Backbone, but experience in Angular, Ember, Knockout or even your own client side framework is as good. We are using a bit of node.js for our fixture server, I guess we can transition a person with that kind of experience too. What really matters is that you know your JS.

This is not a startup so no equity, no foosball tables, no free lunches and such...The pay is average for London, too. So what's good about that job? We are running at a marathon pace rather than a sprint. We cleared 2 major milestones last year and no one had worked a minute of overtime. Maybe you are building a business on the side, patio11 style, or maybe you are trying to recover from a failed startup, this job would suit you well. I also try to protect my people from meetings, there are a few guys who like that.

I don't really care for CVs, if you have one send it, otherwise tell me what you did with JavaScript in a paragraph or two. Shoot me an email if interested;address in profile.

You get that kind of insight by reading the specification. If you are anything like me, you'll only actually read it when you are bitten by a bug.

I'm a product designer (UX + UI) and a front-end developer.
Here's some examples of my work… http://blendmode.co.uk

Here's what I do best:

- Planning: wireframes, on paper or in Balsamiq

- Concepts: Photoshop mock-ups of pages and flows

- Build: HTML, CSS and JS. I prefer HAML, SASS and CoffeeScript

- Integration: I can integrate into any app or framework (I prefer Rails).

Unlike most designers, I focus on 3 things - Attracting more people, Converting more people into customers, and Increasing Engagement.

Hiring is the most important thing your company is going to do, so limiting the pool for a little bit (or more) of "hassle" doesn't look wise, at best.
Let me emphasize that I'm not arguing for the current welfare system. I'm arguing that replacing it with a Basic Job is superior to both the current system and a Basic Income.

Much like a Basic Income, a Basic Job also gives you an incentive to work. No work => no pay. People will accept a $10/hour house cleaning job because it's better than a $7.25/hour Basic Job. In contrast, with a Basic Income, the choice is $7.25/hour equivalent for watching TV, or maybe twice that for working hard. Many people will be happy to live without working.

Additionally, society gains the benefit of the public works created by people working the Basic Job. We gain cleaner parks, better infrastructure, etc. (Unless you want to claim that US infrastructure is as good as it could possibly be...)

I don't see too many Americans chomping at the bit in favor of US intervention in yet another nation which poses absolutely zero viable threat to the the USA.

We're sick and tired of interventionist policy, since Korea, Viet Nam, etc, etc, etc.

To hold American citizens culpable for the actions of the government which lies to us and spies upon us while claiming "Moral High Ground" is to ignore the fact that we are no longer informed, so the "consent of the governed" is no longer present.
A little lack of distance in this website, but I guess HNers may have better knowledge and network to help programmers. That said, I wish for a hireawarrefugee.org to pop up.

The right thing would be to convince Assad to offer a truce, step down, and allow a democratic election to happen. He'd have to be given protection, too, otherwise he'd never agree to stop, because he'd fear too much for his life.

Of course, even if they do convince Assad of that, it doesn't mean things will go smoothly. The "rebels" might still be upset if they lose the election, which is why it's so important UN or whoever needs to guarantee fair elections. It's the least they can do to appease the rebels, so they don't want to start the civil war all over again. They could even guarantee some sort of remuneration from the state for all the people who lost a family member in the war.

This is the least violent, and best solution for everyone involved.
One solution mentioned in the house of commons during the debate was arming the rebels with chemical weapons as a deterrent against the Assad regime. I kid you not....
My problem is just how adverse to utilizing a proper QA department many developers are. Sure, unit tests and other automated systems can and should be used to help out in creation of a system. However, realize that there are folks who have the sole job of testing a system. Unsurprisingly, many of them are actually very good at it. Instead of spending a lot of time trying to make a more convoluted model just so you can test it, use the real tools at your disposal to accomplish the same goal.

I fully grant that the line between "convoluted model" and "adequately testable" system is a tough one to spot. I am open to some good rules in distinguishing them.
I guess the Syrians need to go somewhere, even if all fighting stopped today.

I have read an analysis that Syria doesn't have enough water to make cement/concrete to rebuild all the damaged buildings.
Here is a good resource: http://www.tinaja.com/patnt01.shtml
The website or post in no way implies that this is the case.

One reason to choose Syria is that the situation may be more acute than it is in most other places in the world at the moment.

One reason to choose programmers could be that this is also the industry that the founder is active in, perhaps making it easier to approach potential customers.

They win since the game of life is Turing complete.
The point of the guaranteed minimum is precisely to make this kind of jobs even more expensive, so that people are not forced into unfulfilling jobs by economic necessity.

I mean, if you don't need to clean other people's houses to survive, you sure as hell will not do it, unless it pays enough to make your life significantly better. Someone would have to pay me in the millions to work as a maid for a year.

With a minimum revenue of $2000 a month for example, the incentive would be very low to do this kind of work for less than say $100 an hour, since it would only marginally increase your standard of living.

In the long run this should work towards automatization of these tasks by producing an economic incentive. And at least the robots won't suffer from mental and physical conditions due to a bad work environment.
It's wrong that hardworking middle class/rich people are forced to support people who are unwilling to work to support themselves. If that's acceptable in your value system I won't be able to persuade you otherwise.

But I think it's important to be honest about this point.

If you have a higher end non-Apple mobile phone, chances are pretty high that I've been involved in some of the software embedded in it. I developed/co-invented the core tech of a mobile imaging middleware shipped in 1B+ devices.

My professional experience (10+ years) is mostly high performance C/C++ on (more or less) constrained devices, but I'm no stranger to more webby things; I actually just placed four in a dev contest in a major metropolitan city here in SEA, developing a web forum (python+redis+jquery) in six hours.

What I'm good at - Innovating, analyzing and managing tech, prototyping, proof-of-concepts, architecture

I.e. NULL must round-trip through intptr_t.
