I'm an American in Italy, so while there are things I don't like here, I don't feel 'trapped' - I can always go home.

Go to London or Berlin or something. There are tons of Italians in both places working in tech.

Where do you live in Italy? There are good companies here and there if you look hard.

Say hi if you're ever near Padova, where I live. Offer goes for anyone on HN, for that matter.

I know it's hard. I know that you think that everything sucks, because I used to think that, too. But there is passionate people around you, there are good companies, there is an interesting work. You have just to go and find them. Network and things will go better, I promise.

The Google bashing is getting old. This is yet more evidence that you should be aware of how one service will use the information you give it, and that you should be careful with what information you enter on the internet, no matter what...
Cool. I definitely dig the minimalism. Do you have a website/email or something where I can leave some constructive feedback in return. The app store review might not be the right place to leave it.
The problem is they did a "bait and switch", those sites started as news sites, however the US public don't know or (most likely) don't care that what most consider news aren't covered anymore.

To be honest, it's perfectly reasonable, there's a 0% chance of it affecting the average US citizen.
Maybe he's ignoring it, because it is stupid and irrelevant?
Junior Italian programmer here. I totally get your point, the thing is here in Italy we're used to a different level of expertise than most of the rest of the world.

I don't know which university you're attending but it's highly likely they're teaching you either useless stuff or useful stuff in a very superficial manner (which will be nowhere near enough for passing a technical interview in the U.S., for example).

As somebody else has already said, one of the best things you can do is to get (very) good at programming. There's a lot of material available on the web for studying on your own and practicing your skills: TopCoder and HackerRank are the first two websites that come to mind. Study hard and practice there, some of the problems you find on those websites are very close to the ones people will ask you during technical interviews. You'll need to be quick and accurate in an interview, so be sure to understand why a certain algorithm/data structure works for a given problem. It's hard and it requires a lot of time, but since you're a student time is on your side (trust me, when you'll be working time will be your most valuable resource).

Another good thing to do IMHO is to practice programming using open source resources such as GitHub: build a nice repo of projects and you'll get noticed. A couple years ago I made a stupidly simple JavaScript program (which I've since deleted) that changed the font size of a text, giving it the shape of a wave, a slope, etc. Very simple, very stupid, but still: I posted it here on HN and I got a couple people watching my GitHub repo. Also, working on personal projects is good for learning programming practices (how to structure code, how to design classes, etc.).

As a final note, it may be hard to believe but there are some nice programming jobs here: you just have to look very hard to find them. Don't settle for the first job offer you get: I know the market is pretty bad here at this moment but still, unless you really (and I do mean really) need the money, keep looking and most important of all, keep practicing. Experience pays off.

You can find some of my contact info on my profile, let me know if you have some questions.

Good luck.
"Changing a legal name" is a legal process and the result, a new name for the same person, is no more a lie than choosing a nickname for oneself. From a legal standpoint, the changed name is now a legally permissible "lie."

This does not result in mistrust by a court because the legal system was involved in the change. Of course, all this assumes the "change in legal name" went through the legal process.

In Spain you can also change your given name without much problem (though it has all the inconveniences of bureaucratic processes, fees, etc)
It is not possible to change from a male to a female name or viceversa (unless you are legally changing your gender, which has its own, more complicated process). There are unisex names, but are pretty uncommon in Spanish, though I guess using a foreign name could be a trick in these cases.

(Note: People have two surnames in Spanish, the first one inherited normally from the father, and the second from the mother [1])

There are some cases where surnames can be changed, but they follow some rules and it's not very flexible. For example, is not uncommon to join surnames if they are "famous enough", so they will be inherited as one (keeping the reference to the famous ancestor).

In case someone is curious, here is a link (in Spanish) showing the process to change name ad surnames [2]

For me the easiest way to escape from Italy was through AIESEC, a worldwide student-run organization which sends you abroad for an internship.

I ended up working in Denmark, but as far as I remember there where plenty of big corporates (like Google, IBM, Microsoft) in the network, looking for interns.

Other than that, you should definitely focus on networking, blogging, side projects/open source.

Try not to apply via the regular channels, go and find connection (i.e. actual employees) that can recommend you to recruiters
Something like this will happen with any bad written code. It's not PHP related. But you are right, PHP makes it easy to write bad code. There's no "security" layer build in. I hope ownCloud gets public enought to be secure. If more eyes look at the source they will hopfully do a good job.

As Italian myself, I lived almost 5 years ago and I have never looked back. If you want an advise, live. If you can go to US good, otherwise almost any other country would do too.

But you are not trapped... You are what? 23? With a EU Visa. At this age you can take 1 year off and go to a place, any place, that you like and start from there.

Finally, do you actually have a github? If you are studying 10 hrs a day to be "third in your final year", then that's why you are trapped. You are trapped in that terrible Italian way of thinking that grades are all that matters. Get lower grades and go build stuff, get a job, even a "normal" job like a waiter will teach you a lot.

I would say so. I've had a copy of the CTM book for a while, and while I've never made it all the way through the book, it is excellent, very readable. The whole thing is structured around how to teach the subject absolutely from first principles, so there's no brick wall of assumed knowledge to run into.

Yes, you can disable G+ (on Android, at least).
GTalk/Hangouts can be used with a standard XMPP client - at least somewhat usable and For Now™.

Plus, if you're into CM (as the outed woman was, ironically) you'll get the recommendation to use TextSecure for SMS messages, not Hangout.

I have all these apps/services (Hangout, G+, Google Music, Google Books and probably a bit more) disabled on my phone, so it is definitely doable. I am not sure if it is reasonable and I don't think it should be required to avoid this .. crap.
Exactly. It’s a long time since I have seen Solaris, but I remember it as a film about human deficiencies, and especially the feeling of guilt, greatly amplified by the encounter with some “superior consciousness”. For me that’s a very interesting topic, very good angle, even if very different from what’s in the book.
I'm Italian and moved to London 3 years ago. I had a nice 10-min commute permanent job and a mortgage but I was feeling pretty much like you. I decided to escape and spent all my savings (not much really) to move a abroad and experience something different.

I did it for me, for my job, for my family and my future. And I'm doing good (I'm a software dev in a financial company) and I really feel all these efforts were worth it.

I've learnt a lot of things and still learning, but most of all... I'm happy to have left my country to its decline and contribute with my best to UK, which is giving me the opportunity of a better living. I only live once, I can't afford to fix Italy.

I think Italy is still a little treasure chest.... but it's living in the past. My suggestion is to move away as soon as you graduate (or even now if you wish) and go to some other country like Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands or UK. I'm sure you'll be fine.

How does Google know what information would be deeply damaging to them? Perhaps it's obvious in this case, but everyone has different secrets. Short of not sharing any information at all about anyone, there will always be the potential for damaging information to be shared.

I'm no fan of Google's creeping profile integration, but to say:

> Whether or not someone fucks up because they fail to understand how a service works shouldn't result in them getting outed in a way that can be deeply damaging to them.

is ludicrous. If I don't understand how my Facebook status update works and type damaging secrets into that, is that Facebook's fault? Eventually there has to be some level of user responsibility to not share information that will be damaging to them.

It wouldn't be that difficult to re-write the main 3D Game engine using OpenGL. If you had the assets (textures, models) in modern formats, one person could probably do it in a couple of weeks. Using another game engine would be quicker still.

But then there's the crucial gameplay, flight-sim physics, hooking into achieving objectives, the narrative, cutscreens, etc.

Even then, would it have the same feel as the original...
No ... work a normal day for your company and if you're going to crunch, do it for yourself. Better yet, organize your day so you get a couple hours for your side-projects that don't feel like you're killing yourself. Those hours add up if you're consistent.
It has been stated by Andrew Godwin (author of South and the new native migrations) that there will be a clear path to switch from South to native migrations. And also for people who can't upgrade to 1.7 there should be South 2 with some of the new features backported from native migrations.

I've come to a conclusion that it's because of Hacker News, the more you see HN, the more you get worried by watching a lot of start-ups growing in front of you, and you can't do nothing but press an upvote button, applauding their success.

What you need to do is close HN and minimize the time you spend on it, instead work on something, start small and don't get depressed easily.

The stories you see on HN are months hard work, they also feel same time and again, but they don't lose hope.

I know my comment is bit harsh and not sympathetic, but IMHO right now you don't need sympathy instead you need motivation.

Work Hard! Good Luck.

I hear you on the lack of focus on modern technologies in universities - but the same is true here in the UK for the most part. It's understandable with the European economy being the way it is, and some countries really suffering, you would want to find a better life elsewhere.

One of the problems is that you will find many of the 'enterprise' jobs that you feel will trap you are commonplace in a lots of countries - certainly here in the UK and I'm sure in America also. There are more jobs in startups in the USA but not so many as you might be hoping (even if you could get a VISA). My point is the grass is not always greener on the other side.

You may actually have more success and find what you are looking for in upcoming 'developing countries' such as Mexico if you are considering all locations.

Whatever happens best of luck and I hope you find a profession you are happy with.

well, you had a problem with a badly written wordpress plugin ,not PHP. or are you saying PHP is insecure and no insecure code can be written in other plateforms ? for a project to be popular amongs developers and hobbyists , it has to be written in PHP, because PHP is easy to deploy even if you dont know PHP.

By the way, most CMSes on other plateforms assume you know the language , PHP CMSes dont, so maybe there is some effort to be made on these plateform to make thing easier or write better docs.

Wordpress would not be popular if it was in Python,Ruby or Java. Anyway the issue is with Wordpress plugin architecture , not PHP.

A clean plugin architecture would require some kind of DSL instead of plain PHP.
Good advice. EU citizens have it easy here.

Assuming each of these were for different persons, that amount of request would already amount to about 1/1000 of US population.

Given that Verizon isn't the only telecom operator in the US, the percentage of people under surveillance is quite significant.

And I assume this is only non-secret requests, we've heard news about such requests that are accompanied by a gag order which probably wouldn't end up in transparency reports.
That has to be one of the most frustrating UI patterns out there, clicking a button and not knowing whether it will do what it says or say "haha, nope!". It's bad enough when apps do this to try and persuade you to upgrade to the pro version.

What you want to know is not just whether people click the button , but whether having a certain feature available changes the way that people actually use your application.
That's still missing the point. Even IF the user gave that information voluntarily in the past (she claims she didn't and we should believe her by default in my world, out of courtesy and respect) - the quote continues and says that there wasn't a setting to be found that referred to the wrong/unwanted name.

IF that name was given previously the user still needs to have final say about her appearance online, her very own account data. Saying "You probably gave it out earlier and yeah, maybe there's no way to remove it from the history of your account" wouldn't make Google look better in any way.

During a transgender person's "transition" their name is also likely to "transition" hence, until a court order legally changes their name, they may use a preferred name in non-legal contexts. Forcing someone to use a legal name in a non-legal context (e.g., Facebook) is one problem. Allowing a user enter their desired name and then using surreptitiously gleaned information to change that name to their legal name is a different problem, but a problem none the less.
