> "though I stopped listing those on my resume and LinkedIn profile on the advice that I should only be listing items I was willing to be tested on."

I'd recommend listing them, especially if you are interested in jobs that use them. If you are suffering from a deluge of recruiters, by all means, do what you need to do to slow down the flow - but it doesn't seem like that's your problem.

Here's the thing - the people who are going to be interviewing you and ascertaining your technical capabilities are not the same ones looking for you on the internet (LinkedIn and beyond). Don't let a non-technical person say no to you (or worse, never see your profile to begin with).

Put the keyword up, there's no need to be deceptive about it. "Hi, you look like a good fit at our company because of X" "I've used X in my spare time but never professionally, if that's alright with you let's continue the conversation" - you'd be surprised at how many companies are willing to keep talking. The demand is intense.

There's nothing untoward or dishonest happening here. You're listing out the things that you know, you're not lying about anything, you're being entirely upfront - the only extra consideration is writing in such a way that someone searching for you would see you in a search result. Name-drop languages, frameworks, libraries, as appropriate, because those are the primary levers recruiters know to pull when searching.

> "I have a detailed history, but I tried to control the amount of detail in each entry to avoid making it too long."

I'd suggest expanding. We're way past the days where recruiting happened via a pile of resumes on someone's desk, and a long one would make it straight into the rubbish bin without a glance. By the time human eyes hits your profile page it's already gone through a search filter and likely other recruitment filters - it's okay to be a bit verbose since interest is already there. Especially if this verbosity increases your odds of making it past a search filter.

> "I'm going to learn new stacks because they are interesting and potentially useful to me, not to pad my resume."

Right, and my suggestion isn't to pad your resume with useless filler. That does nobody any good - recruiters end up looking at profiles that have nothing to do with the jobs they're looking to fill. The idea is to think about the jobs you want (and are qualified for), think about what their recruiters are searching for, and making sure your profile gets hit when they search for said things.

The goal isn't to appear in more search results in general, it's to appear in more search results relevant to the jobs you're looking to find.

Notwithstanding the fact that I'm diverted right now... thanks, these are great. I've been using a local copy of the SimplyNoise SWF since I am offline a lot (which is itself very helpful).
It's basically a pluggable Google Now with APIs. I think it's great.

Can you not do "conda update ipython"?
Is there any information available about the accessibility support in 8.1 yet? I saw that Narrator will be included but no information on weather that will provide full access like iOS and Android offer. If it does I will be picking up a 520 to play with.
There is no evidence that Github removed this. When they do a takedown, all of the forks disappear too. Further, if it was the result of a DMCA, they make those publicly available.

C+= was not removed for "censorship", but because the commits being done there were falsely attributed (by the repository owners) to people who didn't want their names and gravatars associated with it. Bitbucket and Google Code yanked the repo for the same reason.
This seems like a really good offering by Amazon. Now we'll just have to see if the competition lowers its prices or no.
Amazon Fire TV – Streaming Media Player – Shop Now
I hope no demo requires NuGet. It's been down since a few hours now :(
Reading the docs, I understand it to be a proxy for your APIs. You setup a service for api.somedomain.com, and then you change that URL in your app to be someprefix.apitools.com.

Being a developer who heavily utilizes internal and external APIs, I like the idea of a tool like this, however, I'm really hesitant to run all calls through a single 3rd party. Especially one this green.

The next question I have is, what about auth? It seems like it could get really messy / insecure using something like this.

Seems like a great project to open source and to run on your own hardware.
Is it my fault that I read this as "Microsoft Builds 2048 Day 1 live"?
Seeing as how this beverages web technologies (although it installs locally right now), AGPL might be a better choice. As long as he retains copyright, he'll be free to also sell commercial licenses if that becomes interesting/viable.

That said, having the legal right to something, and being able to enforce it, isn't the same thing (just ask Adobe).
So that answers my question of whether my Apple TV would ever get Amazon streaming.
We had other landing page prepared. If you refresh now, you should see it.
I have, assuming installing Ubuntu on it isn't cheating.
I agree with you. I mean consider 'single issue voters' as a perfect example of this failure of democracy. I consider my vote MUCH more thoughtfully than others, maybe that's bias... but in my defense I have a higher education, read many different news sources and discuss political issues with people who have contrarian viewpoints... if those things are worth nothing, then so be it.

And yet objectively, my vote is worth exactly the same as someone who is voting only to keep gay marriage illegal, let's say. I don't know if the policical discourse changes much except for that thin sliver of 'moderates' and swing voters... as emphasized in elections of late. People do change their ideologies--I've seen it. But it's a minority.
No doubt, as computational supply increases, so does the demand. Normally, this is a sign of health/progress; it only becomes a problem when demand shoots so far past the supply that we actually regress important user experience metrics (e.g. interaction latency or battery life experienced by the user). So why does this happen?

"HTML5" has rightfully exploded in popularity. In fact, these days it's hard to justify NOT building your front on this stack. But much like any explosion of a popular technology, the developer community will tend to push the limits of what it can reasonably do. This exploration is a good thing, but it can be frustrating until people settle into best practices of what applications do and do not suit a given tech stack.

Congrats to the FireTV team!
This is obviously an April 1st prank
Exactly. AT an early stage, the product goes through a ton of changes and when they happen the team often needs to work even more to catch up. Having a team that's willing to go through that kind of pressure and still keep truckin' improves the odds of success.
This looks really cool but I'll have to wait and see how it compares to the other devices that accomplish the same objectives. I would have liked to see it include gigabit ethernet instead of just 10/100. Interesting that they have a game controller available.

I've been looking for something to replace my Popcorn Hour, but I haven't been able to find anything in this price range that will play MKV files and allow playing movies over USB. Maybe this will be the answer?
By definition if you obtain any monetary benefit from a criminal act then it is Money Laundering. It encompasses a lot of different possible activities. Tax evasion is a crime but if you take that money and transfer it to an overseas account then that is money laundering.

(posted this same comment in the other HN comment thread about this story)
Not really a compelling argument. If I invert your benefits they still read like benefits.

Mobile Apps are the future because:

- Mobile apps allow you to keep the version you have, updating when desired

- Mobile apps are stored on your device

- Mobile apps are customized to your device and can take advantage of all its features

- Mobile devices provide a browser for things that shouldn't ever be an app to being with.

I hope web based apps are the future but I think it will be for different reasons.

- The promise of Java, they won't be written in Java but just like Java the idea that you can write portable applications is very powerful

- Not being locked into an app store. App stores will still exist for discovery and monetization reasons but being able to run an app by visiting a URL will allow for all the things that companies like Apple won't allow.
What I'm taking away from this is that Fire TV is the same as Roku and Apple TV.

As for the gaming capabilities, it'll be interesting to see if they can compete with Steam Machine.
The reason: web pages suck, and they increasingly suck worse and worse with more and more javascript and crap getting thrown in. I wish the simplification required to make a web app that is usable on mobile would find its way back into the web pages themselves.

mobile versions of websites are pretty much a joke. I can't stand what amazon does when I try to visit with opera (forces it to mobile). Makes it pretty unusable.
Does this support playing local media? It seems like no, but I couldn't find any explicit answer.

How Google Fumbled Glass – and How to Save It
I've been working from home for close to ten years, and one thing to note is that the challenges are exponentially increased when children enter the picture. When those children become teens, the challenges can be epic. Nothing like a flame-out between two daughters in the kitchen next to your office during a conference call! Throw in a couple of pets, just in case the stress level isn't crippling yet. Fortunately I'm a night-owl, and don't have to attend too many meetings. In terms of producing what I need to produce I can often shift work into the quieter evening and early morning hours. In the end I would still much rather work this way. All of the interruptions of family life still prove somehow less disruptive than the endless "networking" and powerpoint-strewn meetings I used to be dragged into when I worked in an office.
I'll be curious how good the screen mirroring is. Does anyone know if it's using a direct connection (like miracast) or an indirect over your normal wifi rounter (like apple tv mirroring)?
So is everyone making these now? The only thing Amazon seems to have brought to this is voice command, assuming it has actually been brought.

Not seeing HBO Go. That means no GoT on demand :-(
Anyone know if this will work for nonUSAsians
Not necessarily, Roku, PS 3 & 4, Xbox 360 & One all have amazon streaming.

It probably has more to do with Apple than Amazon.
I think you mean "any device that isn't Amazon branded", since Android devices that aren't in the Kindle Fire family also can't watch Amazon streaming stuff.

Amazon is attempting vendor lockin.
> she's in love with it

Why would you try and talk her out of something she's in love with?

If she "knows some python", is she in love with it? Is she actively learning more on the web?
> The costs involved in modern campaigns can be insurmountable with the restrictions placed on donations and expenditures. The costs have exceed inflation, the limits have not.

Uh, what? How can campaign financing sources even conceivably fail to keep pace with campaign costs? It's an accounting identity.

Agreed - I would be more excited about this if I did not have to decide between Amazon and HBO Go. Timeline for app deployment would be good to know.

> This ongoing conflation of free speech and political participation via campaign contributions has got to end.

Should people be limited by how much time they can donate to volunteering for a candidate? How about how many words they can write in favor of a candidate? Why should someone who doesn't have the time to do those things but does have the time to write a check be prohibited from participating in the campaign process?
>First, if you want people to get better at making predictions, you need to keep score of how accurate their predictions turn out to be, so they have concrete feedback.

>But also, if you take a large crowd of different people with access to different information and pool their predictions, you will be in much better shape than if you rely on a single very smart person, or even a small group of very smart people."

Both points are clearly true. But it's obvious that the CIA, and probably anything political, has problems "keeping score," not getting more voices.
> certain parts may depend on components they don't intend to release

Then hopefully that code isn't in the same repository during develoment, but as a separate library. Everything else makes no sense.

The open source code can be useful even if it doesn't run without the library you didn't release.

> or on third-party ones they can't release.

Again, I hope for you, you didn't check in this stuff in your main code repository.

> It must also be checked to make sure it doesn't have any security implications (credentials, information about internal architectures, etc).

If your code has hard coded credentials you should probably start by firing your developers. As for the architecture part, if you need to do security by obscurity you're doing it wrong anyways.

> Finally, releasing it may expose them to patent attacks of which existence they might not even be aware.

Not for canonical, they're based in the UK and there are no software patents in Europe :)

But okay, that might be an issue for some US based companies.

Edit: IANAL, the situation might be a bit different in the UK than in the rest of europe, so I might be wrong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_patents_under_United_...
Miracast according to Press Release:

The human mind has an amazing way of copping, there are few stupid things that I've ever done that my mind never found a way to rationalize and justify. From the simple things just as eating that extra cookie or not working out to extremely important things like deciding if college is good or career decisions. If we couldn't justify it and cope, we do lose our mind.

I don't have my dream job, and I'm not about to quit it to be an entrepreneur. If I had my dream job, I wouldn't quit it either. I need more to be an entrepreneur, and I'm not there yet.
I expect a real answer when I ask it.
It might given the USB 2.0 Type A port.
I think this represents the first device to support Amazon streaming in 1080p - as far as I know Roku etc are still limited to 720p?

Modern Belarus (well, it was in 2006 - 2008.) Me and some of my friends and their friends get together to organize some opposition performances or participation in national opposition events. As well as distributing printed gazette. No any kind of extremism or terrorism or whatever "-ism". I was probably the oldest one back then, around 22 yrs, the rest guys and gals were 18-20 yrs. All are students either at community college or getting their bachelors.

I was stopped randomly in car traffic because my car was "reported stolen" just to get every single piece of the car out trying to find "illegal" printed materials. One of these guys in our team also snitched for local police (so they recruited someone, i still don't know whom.) They tapped my cell phone and were able to meet us at place which was mentioned over one single cellphone talk...

My very small business suddenly became in focus of various state agencies, like IRS, fire department, etc. Each was able to find something to fine me for. I closed it.

It got to the point where my mom had "interview" with KGB where they openly told, that if she can't influence my behavior, probably I will never get my masters degree, my sister will never get into college, my mom will likely loose her job.

At some point I was "invited" to talk with local police chef about my "disturbances". At that time I already worked out a way to get out from Belarus for good and told about it to this police guy. He was very satisfied with this response from what I could see...

This was happening 6 years ago and from what I hear, still does. At least they did not prison and torture me, although it is probably more because I never cause too much trouble for them and was dismissed as not very important person to deal with.
I'd like to be able to talk to my Windows 8.1 PC the same way I can talk to my Android/iOS/Windows Phone. Would be very handy I think.

Also, Wine is LGPL and ReactOS is GPL, so no code can flow in that direction.

I was an early Ouya backer and was really really disappointed I sold it (like 1 month after I received it.

I will buy one for sure
Teaching your kids to stop playing sports in favor of pursuing their career is a terrible lesson. There is a lot more to life than your job - our culture fights that notion, but it's true.
But other Android devices, weirdly, do not.
Blatantly false. I have a Sony Blu Ray player that has Amazon Instant Video on it and I use it along with Hulu and Netflix.

If this thing played Blu Rays, I could dump my DVD player, my XBOX 360 (my wife and I mostly only play casual games or Wii, this seems like a good fit), and my reliance on other gaming consoles.

Amazon wants all roads to lead back to Amazon. This strategy is clear. They have their Instant Video streaming service, as well as their Appstore on pretty much any device or platform they can get on. They want ubiquity, so they can attract streaming customers from other services and THEN, and only THEN, lock them in with original content or a better customer experience.

They haven't done "vendor lock in" the same way we think of when we think of Microsoft or Apple. In fact, they've made it pretty clear they want fully compatibility with Android, which almost assumes its helping Google in the process.
Sounds like something a good independent lawyer should have a look at.
Come on now. It's not this black and white. Political campaign teams are masters at manipulating public perception and obscuring facts. Even for an informed voter, it's hard to tell whose facts are true given the media bias, corporate bias, and various other misinformation out there. Pumping more money into this machine doesn't seem to me to be a good idea.

Dig the article. A couple of things. 1) I can see what you mean for handling auth keys in query string as opposed to "key:" using basic auth. I started using the latter pattern after I went through easypost's api docs. Even though "key:" is a little unbalanced I guess I still dig the basic auth way. YMMV. 2) On error messages, I wrote some code to provide extended info only if the req host is in a white list (set up your white list in an ini file or whatever). I was originally just throwing back a 500 plus whatever the error returned, but the db error info returned by some of the golang drivers is detailed enough that I didn't want to share all of it. Just curious if you had noodled on this issue if it is one for you.
