Negotiated agreements aren't really 'agreements' when one party holds all the cards ( in the case of an employer, money the employee needs to live ).

Hence legislation, which is basically a bigger party with even more cards imposing its will.
Probably; all I know is that my dentist always tells me I should brush after all meals. However that is probably assuming the standard "3 meals a day" instead of the modern American "continuous meal throughout the day, with occasional breaks for breathing".
SEEKING WORK - Eindhoven, The Netherlands / Remote

Experienced software developer with team lead experience and a hacker attitude. I'm a full-stack web developer and embedded software engineer with 12 years of professional experience doing small and large projects with a large variety of platforms and technologies.

Specialized in C#/.NET in recent years, but unlike too many .NET devs, my scope is not limited to Microsoft's "technologie du jour". I'm familiar with Microsoft's standard technologies as well as the great open source alternatives out there. Experience with making cross-platform mobile apps with Xamarin (MonoTouch / MonoDroid - iOS, Android, Windows Phone) and with making .NET software that runs great on Mono/Linux.

Proficient in:

* C# / .NET
* C / C++ (Win32 API, microcontrollers, Linux)
* JavaScript / TypeScript / CoffeeScript
* Java (incl Android)
* PHP
* Python
* Ruby

Most of my work has been unfortunately closed-source proprietary stuff, but for a peek at my code, see: https://github.com/eteeselink/fakethat (down-to-earth C# mocking framework)
https://github.com/eteeselink/YieldMachine (C# state machines)

https://github.com/eteeselink/cdhere (little C++ console tool that talks to Windows Explorer)

Something of a CV can be found at http://www.linkedin.com/in/egbert.

I can work on-site in the Netherlands, or remotely. I started freelancing only recently, so my portfolio isn't as well presented as yet I'd like it to. Nevertheless, you can find contact info on my brand new placeholder website at http://superset.eu.
Maybe you should have said that. :-)
When I've had my friends take the Bing It On challenge and polled them on the results, they usually prefer Google by about a 2:1 margin, pretty close to what Freakonomics found.

It's great advertising for Google.
Right, Apple never fixes bugs and HN doesn’t understand demonstrations. People continue to disappoint, don’t they.

You found a bug. Kudos, but one of the reasons we haven’t heard about it before is because most people won’t encounter forms with thousands of inputs. It would’ve been helpful if you had filed a Radar, then the only party who can actually fix it would know about it. You chose not to. Instead, you made a misleading post to HN. And as you may well have noticed, HN readers don’t like to be tricked.
Affiliated marketing firm means MSFT made the claim or guilt by association?

The Lumia 920 camera issue was wholly the responsibility of Nokia, thus why they issued the statement. It doesn't seem unusual that partners on a device might share marketing firms, so this link as an example is a bit of a stretch.
i'd be inclined to agree with you had the 'idle reading' content been interesting. but it is NOT interesting. github goes down every week, nothing to see here. why is it on the front page? and who exactly is it there for?

it's like someone is just out to name-and-shame. competitors maybe?

I believe this is what he means when he says "the hacks that makes that setup more workable". Your technological solutions assume synchronous work, which limits the pool of employable people to those with similar preferred workdays, where DHH would ostensibly like to work with people around the world.
Watching House helps make debugging less frustrating/painful. I didn't say that following House's example makes debugging happen any better. Occasionally, taking a page from differential diagnosis is probably a good idea, but obviously do whatever makes sense to your situation when it comes to deployment practices.
Chango - https://www.chango.com/about/careers - Toronto, ON

We are hiring for quite a few engineering and non-engineering positions, but I would like to highlight the roles available on Chango's Large Scale Data team where we have two open positions for intermediate/senior software engineers.

At Chango, we process 20 billion or so unique data points per day, and are trying to minimize the latency between times when we collect the data and make it available for the real-time distributed systems that need to use it.

We use traditional SQL databases (Postgresql), columnar data warehouses (Vertica), networked/local key/value stores (AeroSpike, KyotoCabinet, LMDB, memcache), as well as a many node petabyte scale map/reduce cluster (Disco/DDFS).

You will be programming in Python, Cython and C with forays into Go and Erlang. You are comfortable with your code running on 100s of nodes in multiple data centres. You have solid knowledge of Linux internals and tools, networking, disk, cache and memory subsystems as well as techniques to measure and optimize all of the above.

You have thorough familiarity with relational technology/theory, ACID, transaction processing, networked and local key/values stores, data warehousing and columnar databases. You should have experience with map/reduce and distributed file systems (Hadoop/HDFS, Disco/DDFS).

You have a firm understanding of the various and sometimes exotic data structures and algorithms used for processing large data sets. You will use bloom filters, hyperloglog, skip lists, b+ trees, prefix tries, hashing in all it's multitudinous forms, MVCC, two-phase commit, data compression/encoding, etc.

You are familiar with and are eager to build distributed systems. You are familiar with shared-nothing architectures, replication, fault tolerance, queueing, messaging models, CAP theorem, and distributed locking.

Competitive salary, equity and benefits.

Pro-tip: if you use a floss pick, rinse it in water and dip it in mouthwash every time you move between teeth.

Using the same small piece of floss for all your teeth actually spreads bacteria, etc. throughout your mouth, causing all the things you're trying to avoid by flossing in the first place.

Dentists & hygienists never floss two sets of teeth with the same piece of floss. (And yes, they go through a crap-ton of floss.)

Speeding up ACH debits, which take 3 to 4 business days right now, is in the works.

Wells Fargo does not offer same day ACH debits, but they do offer same day ACH credits. The reason for this difference is that the risk of pulling funds from an account is much greater than pushing funds to it. That being said there is still room for us to shorten the time it takes for ACH debits to process and we are actively working on that.
Would love to see how this works vs. just finding the max correlation of the 1d sampled stream vs the base data. If that's no good - try fft on the 1d sample and rescale.

If you keep the same distance between you and the car in front of you regardless of your speed - which you seem to say -, I hope you are never behind me.
Open source projects thrive on contribution by the community. Ruby doesn't charge people to use it and is largely maintained by a friendly, giving community with a humble 'leader'.

Perhaps labeling the OP as 'is it a good deal' and 'unfair to get free work out of people' is not appropriate in this context. I sure hope that some designers who have benefitted from Ruby (or other open source projects) will step forward to contribute their time to redesign ruby-lang.org -- regardless of 'getting featured' or 'not getting paid'.

Disclaimer: I'm not a designer.
Yeah, I think the translation there is "The bugs I report always seem way higher priority to me than they do to Apple."
As someone who has filed many radar bugs in the past, I don't think it's a literal claim to Apple never fixing any bugs whatsoever.

It's that they seem to be very arbitrary about which bugs they fix, they don't seem to fix a lot of what's reported, and the entire system is closed and black-boxed.

Here's the process in most sane places:

- You file the bug in a place that's visible to the public. You can link other people to it, for example. "Oh yeah, that's a bug, here's the bug report [link]"

- Developers responsible discuss the bug in said bug tracking software.

- Someone eventually marks some kind of disposition on the bug "can't replicate", "won't fix", "fixed", etc. Bonus points if they can give some rough estimate on fix availability "should be available in next week's build", for example.

here's how the Apple process works:

- You file the bug in a private bug tracker. This bug report is only visible to you (and Apple), so you can't link it. When users report bugs in forums the only solution is "I filed it already, but I can't link to you, you should file it again". In fact Apple encourages the repeated filing of the same bugs as a "vote" mechanism.

- Apple never contacts you, or anyone else, about said bug unless they specifically need help tracking it down. This is rare.

- There is no word on the disposition of the bug in any case. If it's fixed, you don't hear about it. If they're passing on the bug, you don't hear about it. If it's not-really-a-bug, you don't hear about it. The only way for you to know if your bug got fixed is to download each new release and try to repro the bug for yourself.

So sure, Apple certainly does fix bugs, but the way they handle bug reports and resolution makes them one of the worst companies to work with from a bug reporting and triage perspective.

[edit] Not to mention that fairly major bugs go unfixed for a very long time. If you have a iOS7 device give this a go: go to Calendar (yes, that first-party built-in app), create a new event. Type in a long description - one that exceeds the size of the textbox. Your text now overflows without scrolling and just disappears off the edge of the control. Oops.

This bug existed all the way from iOS7 beta 1. Naturally, something this basic was reported constantly on the forums, with the requisite multi-page bitch-fest from devs. People filed bug reports on this, but as usual there was never any feedback from Apple. So beta 2 came along and it wasn't fixed, but people kept supposing they'd fix in the next one. Then the next one. Then the next one.

And here we are, iOS 7.0.2 and it's still not fixed.

Apple isn't exactly known for being very on top of their bug-fixing game.

The Status API, how we clone quickly, the entire signup workflow are all built around Github. We have special logic for github downtime, retries, handling 3rd party repos, collaborators, etc. For example, we dont have usernames or passwords or password resets for Circle, we just have github oauth. We don't have teams, we just mirror the github permission model. We don't verify your email: github does it.

Most importantly, when you sign up, there's a great flow. You give us oauth permission, and pick a repo (we have a list because Github) and then we can have you running tests in seconds. We automatically fiddle with Github to make that work (you dont need to add post-commit hooks or ssh keys, it just works).

This headline is a tad misleading, although I'm sure it's unintentionally so. When I hear "kill", I tend to assume "crash". This bug just hangs for a long time, which is not the same.

The distinction is really important because a crashing bug tends to be a significant security concern, while a hanging bug, not so much.
Thank you. Just this past weekend I came to the realization that, after using JavaScript on and off for over 10 years, I don't actually know JavaScript. Not even close. I'm sure I'm not alone. Anyway, I've just skimmed through your offering and it looks like an entertaining read. This came at a good time.
I think you're may be thinking of this as one mechanism instead of two separate mechanisms.

You are dealing with a queue as well as a through-rate at the merge-point. The through-rate with one lane can still be 1/2 of the through-rate with two lanes, but because you have a queue waiting to reach the merge-point you can end up waiting much longer. More spacious merging will not change this because of the principle stated in the first paragraph of the article.

Increasing the speed at the merge-point will not decrease the queue. It will only decrease the density of the queue but move it back further in traffic. Your time to cross the merge-point will be basically the same.

I don't expect this will get much attention around here, but I just got a mass mail from Reshma Saujani, founder of Girls Who Code and recent primary candidate for NYC Public Advocate, about the book she wrote. I just felt it was timely given the periodic flareups of debate on gender and technology on HN. In particular, the questions of why women are still conspicuously missing in the tech scene and whether it's a problem, and if so, if it requires action from inside the male-dominated community?
Yep, totally get it. Just want to make sure people know about tornado as an option for greenfield projects.
Above is by a "maintainer of eCryptfs" noting that we would otherwise leave our passwords on everything we touch and without option when that password is compromised.

I wonder though, is there a biometric facet that can surmount the bar of unreplicable uniqueness? Contact lenses can fool iris scanners. Perhaps we should make a dental impression sensor?
A very good point. One of the most important things about strong authentication schemes is the revocation protocol. When things go bad, how easy and secure is the process of changing the auth mechanism? The trouble with fingerprints is that you're stuck with them for life, even if somebody else <pun> gets their hands on them </pun>.
A lot of times, bugs are "resolved" as "duplicate of IDxxxxxx". With no way to read up on the linked bug, not even the status. Duplicate wontfix? Duplicate can't reproduce? Duplicate in progress? Who knows?
A lot of negativity in the comments, I'm surprised. Electric toothbrushes aren't more effective than traditional (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_toothbrush), but have huge sales numbers.

I believe that was the point LordIllidan was trying to make; that is, because Chrome doesn't use Nitro, it remained unaffected because (possibly) the issue is within Nitro.
