They're going to lie to you and claim the job is all about (insert list of acronyms) and they need an experienced rock star.

You need to lie right back, that you're an experienced rock star in the field of (insert list of acronyms).

There are laws about filtering applicants based on IQ tests and reading comprehension tests and the like. This whole system is a stealth end-around to give applicants an IQ test along with a reading comprehension and writing test. Can you tune your resume to match our advertisement? No, then bye bye. If yes, well, lets talk.

Then later in the process when at the interview, they provide another stealth intelligence test when its assumed you'll know the list of requirements is made up and out of date and you should at the interview express deep knowledge of "scripting language of the month" and the like. To prove you're in touch with the actual job requirements.

There are other stealth intelligence tests, like crud app developers and web graphics artist types being dragged thru the wringer about the intimate details of b-tree data structures and sorting algos. Its an intelligence test that has nothing (usually) to do with the job unless they have a horrific NIH mismanagement problem.

There's nothing immoral or unethical about stretching the truth because they only care about the intelligence test aspect anyway, and the "list of acronyms" changes constantly including the time interval between publishing the advertisement and when they talk to you, and of course on the job you'll be expected to learn anything new instantly.

Just make sure to add an excuse to your list of skills like "also other job related skills" (BTW this is in itself part of the intelligence test). Or at least have a great interview response along the lines of why that wasn't included on the resume and maybe you're leaving things off your resume like felony convictions or something.

Also know that once you get past the first couple gatekeepers, your competition is people with skills who only have to lie a little, and really excellent skilled liars. So your honesty level should increase over time thru the process. Again this is yet another intelligence test aspect of the process. If you said "duh" WRT the above, you're a good candidate, if not, well, maybe not a "good fit" or whatever.

You do need an actual list of your skills for private use only. That's probably what the OP posted. Never give that full list to a HR rep or a computerized keyword scanner.
Exactly. Two of the most powerful things you can learn in life are "There's so much more to learn" and "Nobody knows what they're doing".

Early in life you get the impression that parents know everything, then it's teachers, then it's bosses. When in fact they don't.

We're not robots with perfect abilities, understanding that everyone to a degree doesn't know what they're doing gives you a different outlook on the world.

Note, that doesn't mean everybody is incompetent.
This is not only unsubstantiated handwaving, but also totally illogical. Maintaining a trademark costs about $500 every ten years, and it doesn't cost that much more to file. So your #1 is made up, and your #2 is totally gutless.

There are plenty of people who are great at CS fundamentals yet write messy, excessively complex, and/or over engineered code. For many software roles I'd much rather have someone who can write clear, maintainable, and performant code first, with deep knowledge of CS fundamentals only a requirement depending on the nature of the role and product.
I consider myself a generalist as well, and while there are some problems with it, there are upsides too. I wouldn't consider that a barrier.

You look like a very talented and productive coder, and I don't think your skillsets are out of date, as some people seem to imply. If you know both Java and Unix well, then you're employable in spades.

Are you actually looking for work now? What happens when you apply for jobs? Are you stumped by algorithmic questions (i.e. textbook style questions)?

Good catch. I've let the web team know.
It's not just that; transportation and production would be affected as well.

The trucks that move food and the tractors that plant it would stop working just the same as the freezers and microwaves. In addition, payment networks would be dead so you'd be left with the cash in your pocket and no way to get more. Not hard to see how quickly society would start to collapse at that point.
This doesn't appear to be an H1B transfer.

Even if it were some sort of H1B transfer, I believe by leaving the US he might have abandoned his H1B. So I think the OP better get his immigration status verified by his new employer, because the last thing he wants to do is get a 10 year ban at the border.
Yep for example the US dollar symbol is also used for the Mexican peso and Canadian dollar. To differentiate they simply use codes i.e. US, CAN, MXN where context is needed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar_sign
Sure, but USD and CAD both use the same $ symbol even though they are both pretty popular currencies used in neighboring countries.

When I was high-school age, there wasn't any AP Computer Science, though I was taking intro CS courses at the local community college from someone who more or less got it. I hadn't suffered through tons of teachers trying to teach me CS without grokking it before that (though occasionally after...), but I can guess at the kind of sensitivity that might produce. I certainly don't claim that lack of deep familiarity is a virtue! I just claim that it's not always as big a hindrance as one might think (depending...).
"5% of gross revenue resulting from sales to users."

As others have pointed out, that is a huge amount, that is probably 25 - 30% of your "profit". The accounting is pretty easy though. Units * SRP * 0.05 == royalty.

That said, it is a lot simpler than investing $25 - $30K up front while building the game, only to have it go poof because the market or your designer flaked out. Figure 3 year development at $20/month that is less than $1,000 at risk. This gets people using their engine early and often perhaps hoping they can negotiate a different royalty later on. It would also be interesting to see if it had a cap, like $1M or something.

Kudos to the Epic folks for coming up with a pretty creative strategy in todays market.

I don't think that was intended as a sexist remark at all. Rather, it was a pointed jest at the Hollywood trope of "nerdy girls"—basically making fun of Hollywood for being sexist.

They may be, but JsDelivr appears to have no deep affiliation with Mozilla:

> Who is behind jsDelivr?

> Basically just me, Dmitriy A. or @jimaek. But a lot of other people are involved, giving their advice and helping me out. I always refer to jsDelivr in the plural sense because of this.

It is sponsored, amongst others, by CloudFlare and MaxCDN, where @jimaek is also employed. But the only connection to Mozilla seems to be that it's featured on the Mozilla Hacks blog.
Agreed that a tanked investment (stocks or real estate) is the likely explanation, but that is my point. A decade ago he was 45 years old. To have the vast majority of his net worth tied up in volatile investments is what I would call financial mismanagement.

> The motion sickness feeling is not due to the product itself but the mixed sensory perception by the brain when different senses present contradictory signals: e.g. visual movement perceived by the eyes vs lack of movement by the ears. Therefore, a newer product version is unlikely to address this.

Citation?

There are several comments on this page that conflict with what you're claiming -- that motion sickness has not been reduced and, for some fundamental physiological reason, can't. First-hand accounts are suggesting otherwise.
Personally, I specify scattering ashes to the wind or over the water. Can't be too sure.
What about shit you don't know you know? There are many things we do and know that we don't understand. Very often it doesn't matter. A child does not need to be aware that their finger is narrower than their nostril to use one upon the other.

If you wait until all the studies are complete before trying to do something, you will never take action. Life is more about trial and error than knowing how everything is known.

Track what matters on your website, right now, without coding.
Basically, yes. Its like asking what the world needs to do, to provide jobs for old pro football running backs. First of all the pool is immensely larger than the number of slots, so its statistical randomness that got any individual a slot, secondly its like the arts where you have to get used to the idea that most guitar players are not going to get thru life by playing guitar.

STEM jobs are cool for those who can get them, but you need a backup plan to live the rest of your life. Just like you'd tell a kid who thinks he's going to get thru life playing basketball or a guitar.
If you want a watch, you should buy a good Swiss watch, you don't need this cheap crap on your hand, unless you are 15 years old (which btw is a market on its own).

I don't know why people invest in these things. I don't know where this vision is coming from, but this is not a tech breakthrough. These things will not be used in the long run, period.

I got few questions:

Do we have any kind of recovery plan from this? As I understand almost all electronics would be deep fried, including machinery used in factories that make electronics we need to replace.

Would impact be localized to part of the planet facing sun?

What kind of shielding would be required on most sensitive infrastructure to protect it?

How deep data center would need to be to avoid data on hard drives being wiped?

He did go through the Developer Auction/Hired so that gave him some idea of what companies offer.

I remember when Buffer "open sourced" their salaries and revealed that they were below the market rates in the Bay area(for Buffer's bay area employees).
I wonder how much of this is age discrimination. A common complaint I've heard against older workers is, "Why isn't someone they're already worked with eager to hire them?" It gets to the point of networking, and once you've had a bad spell, it's tough to recover.

Loomio.org – A better way to make decisions
These concerns are addressed in the Supreme Court's opinion in Qualitex v. Jacobson: http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=1790530446659521....

1) You can't just apply to protect an arbitrary color. You need to show secondary meaning (i.e. the market associates the color in a certain context with your brand). It is unlikely for that to happen with more than one brand in a particular space.

2) The color can't be functional and can't affect the quality or value of the product. So Apple can't trademark aluminum-colored laptops, nor can you trademark yellow or orange traffic cones.

3) With respect to running out of colors, that issue is addressed on pages 168-169. The gist of the argument is that if people "use up" the high-contrast color schemes, than not being able to use some mark will put competitors at a functional disadvantage, which will invoke the functionality bar mentioned in (2), invalidating the other color marks.
Maybe you've been lucky? Being forced down the stack seems to happen either when you need more performance, or when stuff blows up.

I only drill into a framework or language when someone writes that they're an expert on it. Otherwise, learning a new framework or language might be bumpy but if they have skill then it shouldn't be a problem.
Indeed, if you're writing a AAA title you'll probably go for a one-off six figure licensing fee instead of 5% of back end, but that's hardly going to be more attractive than these terms. I imagine Rovio or the Candy Crush guys might similarly prefer a one-off license deal (were they to use Unreal).
I can see the confusion of "on sale" versus "for sale", but they're both commonly used terms to represent the ability to purchase.

Build Your Audience First: An Interview with Kate Matsudaira
This makes my product harder.

I am recording a lot of "record player noise" (stylus on vinyl; run-out grooves and clicks; run-in grooves; clunking arms and needle drops; etc.

People download (or rip) their music as high quality lossless flac. They then mix my recorded record noise in, with other processing ("bad 80s digital amp"; "good 90s hifi amp"; "valve amp" etc) to get the vinyl experience with modern computing convenience.

Having the distribution of near silent tracks being scrutinised is going to be gently worrying.
I have an unexpired H1B visa, but I left that job and the US in November, 2012. Now I've accepted another H1B job and my join date is in April, 2014. If you were counted against the h1b cap in the last 3 (or 6, I'm not sure) years, you will not be counted against the cap again, and you do not have to wait until october (when this year's H1B visas become valid) to enter the US and start your job.

Maybe the OP's situation is the same.
well thats the whole point of opening it to the community. that 'failed project' developer will himself gain a lot of experience that he can freely share. I dont think they care about hunting down extremely tiny devs and even $19 doesnt cover that cost.

The most difficult skill
When relocating from NYC to San Francisco a couple years ago I similarly tried to minimize the number of trips. I tried to be very thorough in phone screens to make sure that they were intersted in me and I was interested in them.

After the first 24 hour trip (leave at night east coast time, fly to SFO, drive south, interview all day, drive back to SFO and fly home) I knew that wasn't going to work (I certainly didn't perform as well on that interview as others).

My next trip was arranged by me with costs split as fairly as I could. I found companies were happy to be flexible and reimbursed me very promptly for their share, but as the article suggests it was a little out of the norms for them and probably harder to arrange then HR or their travel agent doing the "standard package".

I had two companies split the airfare, and others pay for a night hotel each. I didn't chase meal or transportation expenses, though nearly all of them offered to cover them (and generally lunch was part of an interview each day anyways).

I have a lot of groups on my website (sports clubs in fact) and I want to roll a feature that they can use an email address (like google groups) to manage their teams via email. Is this something we can tap into on threadable?

I would think you stop paying when you stop distributing it.
If you are really a programmer for just 3 years, then being lean was hot long before you even thought about starting to program. Currently hot means big data.

To get on topic: Don't give up just yet! Yes you can not be awesome at everything that you read here on HN. But if you, e.g., care about squeezing out great pixels out of your CSS, you can certainly become awesome at that. Maybe it's more awesome in your eyes to churn out a new iPhone game every week, then you certainly can be good at that. You just can't be good at most things you do. Either you are mediocre at everything, or quite good at one thing and quite bad on the rest. If you think a programmer is so much better at everything, learn to know these people better. You'll see that they might be awesome Node developers, but they might not know even part of what you know about bash and vim. Or English might be their mothertounge, while it is actually your second fluent language, etc. Most of the awesomeness you see in people on stage is biased observation.

And certainly you don't get to be awesome if you slave away at 80+h/week. Better stay in the 30-50h/week range and spend the rest of the time to prioritize tasks, stay healthy, networking, etc. With the first approach you will be nothing more than a machine after just 2-3 weeks. With the second approach you can learn and get better every week of the year.
The thing is, that 0.1% would probably be better off just looking for a Math PhD. I suspect it is much easier to teach a mathematician C (Or Python/Haskell/OCaml/Java) than a programmer real math.

They're a combination of mailto: links and links that point back to threadable.com. There's a delicate balance there, since we want to make things as usable as possible, but we can't embed auth tokens (we need to preserve forwardability). Cross-client compatibility is a big deal since it leads to inclusivity. Right now, we're focused on making something that works for everyone.

In the future, we have plans to do client detection, so that we can offer more advanced features to users with more modern clients.

I've had a Fluke 87 for years, and one day I was testing inrush current draw on something and the meter stopped working. Why? Because I was using the 400mA fused port, and I'd put ~700mA through it.

For some reason it was that detail and sensitivity that made me realize just how precisely made meters like that are. Thankfully it was just a $7 fuse to fix it.
