1. The best way to get a job is through your own current network. Even if you have never done 'networking,' realize you already have a network. Your classmates from high school and college, parents of your friends, friends of friends, people from your community, your neighbors, your professors, your professors friends, etc. They are all part of your network. See what they are all up to and see if they can recommend you to a job or introduce you to someone who can. Companies love to hire people that they already know. I'd love to see someone argue against this claim.
2. If you exhausted your current network, then maybe you should build your network. Make a list of jobs/companies you'd want to work for, and instead of blindly applying to those jobs, try to meet up with someone who has the job you want, or works at the company you want to work at. It's best to get an intro, but cold-calling also works (although you're probably going to get a lot of no responses, you only need that one person who can help you get a job). Tell them that you want to know more about their job/company, and ask them if they could possibly spare some time to give advice. Offer to buy them coffee. You'd be surprised how many people are willing to help people who want advice. Once you have built a relationship, its much more likely they can recommend or refer you to a job.

Can you get a job by simply applying to a job? Of course, it happens all the time. But networking always improves your odds.
Your grandpa's lifestyle was pretty far from normal. The only normal part is being able to support a family on his own. The bit about owning several homes, boats and RVs was not what the majority of that generation was allowed to enjoy.

Also keep in mind that they weren't expected to put kids through college; and, even if they did, the cost was negligible compared to today. Kids back then were much cheaper.
Yeah. Just finished the 440 course and became a gopher!

After two years of learning to code I have spent in total about £30 on books. It would not have been possible without the WWW.
Good point, but I assume a plugin only receives events it subsribed for, so it's not that for any event all plugins have to be notified. Also consider that the combination of serialization/local pipe/deserialisation may sound like something huge, but in reality probably only takes a couple of mSec. On the other hand: if it really goes over TCP/IP on another machine on another network, the lag should be noticable. But I doubt there are many plugins like that.

On a sidenote: C apis are still used widely. And there are enough libraries out there to put an extra IPC layer on top of it so the'll behave the same as this one (i.e. can communicate though pipe/socket/... of choice).
I love the Wayback Machine, I wish they'd archive all pages though even those that don't wish to be archived.... keeping them away from public view until copyrights expire someday.

Now tell me, how much you made from this (affiliate links) after posting to HN?
I think you guys should go for the idea that you believe in more. From the little information Ive gathered, it seems you are more passionate about the Analytics for Project Managers, but are hesitant because you have built out an MVP for the Dropbox idea. In my opinion, if thats the only reason who you would consider choosing the Dropbox idea, then you shouldnt choose it.You can build out an MVP for the ANalytics idea.

Honestly, it's still hard for me to tell, and those two files don't make it clearer. It's got tests, which is good and presumably counts for the serious case, but I've seen similarly excessive testing done for obvious jokes (like the enterprise Java FizzBuzz parody).

Are you saying it's obvious to you? That's great, but it's not obvious to me.

As a gopher, in fact I don't feel that golang can be called "the Google's language". Google still relies on C++ a lot.

Agreed, 3-6 months notice is fine. This is not a classy way for them to address the issue.
I don't see why the decision is so digital. Surely a 1 week hold coupled with the ability to move the video to YouTube (or simply the latter as an option at the end of a live stream) would take away the huge hosting costs but give content creators the chance to save certain videos if they wanted to.
It would also help to reduce the "path dependence" problem by increasing the ability to tranfer courses between "vocational" training and "academic" training. Not to say you should necessarily get credit towards a B.S. degree for, say, a Welding course... but to the extent that it's possible, the English, Math, etc. should be as easily transferable as possible.

Why? So if you chose one option you aren't so tightly "locked in" later in life, if you desire a change (in either direction).

You should be getting paid on a continual basis. 100k worth of work for no pay is ridiculous.

I have never heard of a startup exploiting a freelancer this way, but wouldnt be surprised if this happens.

I can imagine unethical startups trying to exploit a developer who is too trusting. Don't be that developer. Make sure to have a contract, and make sure to be paid for it biweekly, or monthly.

And if they don't agree to that, then well, you probably shouldnt be working there in the first place.
Neither one really has a direct "equivalent" in assembly.

Prefix is going to look something like:

inc eax # increment the value
mov eax,ecx # copy the return value to its destination

Postfix is going to look something like:

mov eax,ebx # copy original value
inc eax # increment value
mov ebx,ecx # copy original value to final destination

The actual code you'd get would vary a lot between compilers, architectures, and even just different contexts within the same compiler-architecture combination.

Latency is time taken to travel the distance (between the client and server).

Look at http://eyes.nasa.gov/dsn/dsn.html, for Voyager the latency would be 0.74 days. For the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter it would be 6.6 minutes.

Someday people might play live action video games with someone on Mars with very little latency, but right now it's not even theoretical without a wormhole through space/time.

It's not the government that is the major influencer; for example, in 2006, you had Henrik Pontén¹ of the Svenska Antipiratbyrån physically leading the raid against The Pirate Bay host and Jim Keyzer², the lead investigator for the case, was employed by Warner Brothers during the investigation.

This is definitely true, if you eat less calories than you burn, you will lose weight. But this is really hard to enforce for many people. Without blatant calorie labels on everything you eat, it's really easy to go over and then assume that it must not be true.

I happen to be a boiler-maker / welder by trade. My last non-fabrication job was at an ISP doing project management, programmed maintenance, and fault response.

Not quite crazy, because the specs are rather limited:

It's good for chromeos and perhaps a modest linux distro, but anything heavier will hog it, both for computing and storage requirements.
Knowing the application is not important. What's important is having the connectivity, bandwidth, and latency. The applications will follow. The applications that people currently use most would not have been possible 15 years ago. Facebook? YouTube? Instagram? All completely impractical in a time, not that long ago, when 1.5 Mbps T1 was "fast."

What I find most infuriating are the many people who justify current speeds (and prices!) by rationalizing that they don't use all that much bandwidth, anyway. Almost certainly, they're using more bandwidth than they were 15 years ago. If they have more bandwidth, I'm sure they can find a use for it.

The worst for me is that gigabit fiber exists, but is usually not available. In 1900, telegraph was the lowest-latency way to communicate a long distance. (Never underestimate the bandwidth of a steam train full of mail hurtling down the transcontinental railway.) It was the best there was, and it enabled a revolution in communications. Now, gigabit fiber is the best, but it's uncommon. Instead, the telephone and cable companies would rather reinvest profits into lobbyists and mergers.
It is interesting that continental european higher education IS mostly vocational schools. You go there to earn a grade in specific skillset. I imagine this is most pronounced in central and eastern europe (including of course Germany).

Yet somehow US and UK universities seem to beat continental schools by most metrics and ratings. They don't set on teaching skills and science but that they also do successfully.
I think it's mainly aimed at distributors who decide to sell affordable edition copies to the wrong markets. You can sell it quite happily second-hand.

I've seen in many books here in the UK, in the front covers usually, a minimum sale price and a demand that all future sales are credited to the publisher.

They can shove it of course :)

It's pretty big and heavy so this is probably understandable.
That, and the fact that most natural high carb foods, like fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains have a low calorie density compared to high fat foods. It's much harder to overeat on them, because they have more volume and fiber.
Yes, but you might not be eating healthily this way. Calories in, calories out is "simple" in that it just ignores nutrients.
Whitepaper on TV Show "Silicon Valley" Nucleus Project
I still think that these truly interesting visions wouldn't save a bookshop.
Apple Stores - mentioned in the article - were revolutionary because they were selling electronics like nobody else ever did. They proved to be a long lasting success, so great that it actually shaped a big chunk of Apple public presence and perception by customers.

So, I can probably envision a revolutionary approach to the bookshop by Barnes and Nobles or other big names in the industry of distribution, but I really can't see it working for a single, low capital independent bookshop.

To run a place like that you still have to hire a lot of well motivated and dedicated people, though, and you need to invest A LOT in planning and building the actual shop. Then you'll have to turn a profit from a core business of selling goods at a very low margin, if you want to somehow be competitive with the ease of buying the same exact thing from Amazon or even other online retailers.

Apple Stores still sell highly priced exclusive products with hefty margins, designed and produced by the very company that is selling that to you. That's a control over the complete customer experience that you'll never have for the majority of stores out there, let alone bookshops.

What stops me from joining the experience of such an interactive bookshop to discover some new exciting title, just to purchase the book or ebook later at home from my device at a very steep discount?

You can do the same with Apple products in the Apple Store - try the product live then buy it off of the Internet. Many people do that, but in the end you're still buying an Apple product and Apple is still turning a profit, thanks to its brick and mortar presence. Apple Store per-store revenues show that's not even a problem, though, since they're incredibly profitable on their own.

The fact that Amazon is a fucking leviathan already would fit perfectly in the discourse, but I will let that out, since the whole bookshop 2.0 idea has its own flaws even without dragging Bezos and co. into consideration.

P.s. I find it very amusing that my iPad changed Bezos to bozos automatically, even if that doesn't reflect my personal views on the Amazon founder.
It's pretty easy to lose one. A company I worked for had a SPARC LX (similar chassis) as the internal primary DNS server. It stopped working one day and they couldn't find it. Turns out someone had pulled a cable hard inside the back of a rack and it had fallen down behind some switches inside the rack.

Lovely machines, until you fire up Oracle 8i's Java front end (the name of which escapes me). Took 7 minutes to start.
As a vegetarian, I don't laugh at people eating meat. In fact, when it comes to nutrition, eating (the right) meat is likely the most rational choice based on today's understanding.

As a sidenote, I have looked into low-carb/keto diets and I've found that those are rather hard for vegetarians; reducing carb intake from some sources (rice, pasta) is easy, but even staple vegetarian foods rich in protein (tofu, lentils, beans, quinoa) are 1:1 when it comes to protein:carb content.

Another thing to mention is that being vegetarian in a central European country limits you to a very few number of restaurants you can eat out with friends; I do not know of any place around that would serve vegetarian low-carb food. This would imply that I always bring my own food from home to work, socially exclude myself by not eating anything when we go out eating with friends, and so on.
Reminds me of Will Smith in I Robot movie.

My answer is actually no.
I think technology is somewhat a tool and the human helps to make sure it works its magic within a scope. Machine learning has also been largely been confined to a space, albeit the space has been expanding at a clip.

But I may be wrong though...
We have a similar situation here in Japan too. Vocational schools are looked down but engineering vocational schools are considered top tier, and at least a quarter or less of the best schools in Japan are considered vocational.
I honestly thought you were going to provide some solid information, but this doesn't hold up in my book. These are weak reasons to change your mind (in my opinion).

Snowden explained the "literally read your thoughts as you type" part in the NBC interview. Seeing someone's typing, erasing, changing words is a window into their thought process. Not sure why you disagree with that.

And when you make a joke about the court that issues them "gives secret rulings (oooh)", why are you making a joke out of one of the most serious loopholes in the whole system?
Maybe it's just me, but as an Emacs user since 1988, I've often found that the commands there were composable (to use the author's term), but in a different ways. I can kill to the end of a line (C-k), sentence (M-k), or sexp (C-M-k). And if I want to do it more than one time, I use the prefix argument.

I realize that Emacs and vi are different in many ways. And despite my love for Emacs, it's obviously not everyone's cup of tea. But if the argument here is that vi's keystrokes are such that learning one lets you learn many others, I think that the default keybindings in Emacs actually do a pretty good job on this front, once you get over the (admittedly very high) learning curve.
I had a similar frame of mind when I was a student. I didn't pay too much attention to the formal details; I didn't brush it off, to be fair, and I think I paid more attention to it than most of my colleagues, but I still massively underestimated how much I really needed it.

Reality kindda bitchslapped me later. Turns out the theoretical understanding of even the most basic and otherwise fundamental aspects of my slice of engineering (EE) is pretty much essential whenever you need to design something that is non-trivial and not previously implemented by someone else and available on the Internet. All those circuits I tweaked and combined were great study material, but when it came to doing something on my own that I couldn't quite find elsewhere, which had to respond to actual hard requirements (no more than this many mV of ripple on this signal and THD below this margin), it wasn't an enjoyable ride. And then there are whole branches of EE where you don't really get to prototype stuff on a breadboard; at one point I thought I wanted to get into microelectronics (programming got the best of me though). There are literally thick books about how transistors behave, and you literally need to understand that stuff if you want to make anything slightly more reliable than a 741.

To this day, I still value intuitive understanding more than the bland math. It's the idea percolator that makes you come up with clever designs and lean, elegant solutions, but it's the bland math that actually enables you to turn it into something that can be reliably manufactured and exploited.
They don't release their data to the public because this would cancel the asymmetry that they are aiming to increase. Asymmetry in information or money is the definition of power.
The answers in the OP don't seem to be exhaustive enough.
I'm all in with this. Is there something about year 9-12 students that makes them unable to understand university level education? I left school in after year 10 because I was having a terrible time of it and went back to studying when I was 23, but there were plenty of other students who were doing really well, or well enough, to go way beyond the meagre intellectual offerings of high school.
> "Host websites using Dropbox"

This seems like a cool hack, but awfully dependent on Dropbox for the core product of your business.

* If dropbox doesn't like what you are doing, they can just block you.

* If they really like what you are doing, it would be pretty easy for them to start offering the same service (and block you).

* There are bandwidth limits to files shared on Dropbox, meaning that it would only work for low-traffic sites where uptime is not critical. And if people don't care that much about their website, they are unlikely to want to pay for the service.

With the analytics product, you are in control and not at the mercy of another platform.

SQL vs. NoSQL 
Theres a lot of debate on this and I understand theres no clear answers. Just wanted to hear some of your experiences working with both and whats applicable for what type of systems. I myself am working on a database for a web app analytics tool and witnessed some benefits of NoSQL while SQL is supposedly more reliable.

Understand companies like Amazon have shifted to NoSQL to manage their data.
In short, I do think that SQL is for high processing, low disk space while NoSQL is vice versa in layman terms. Im pretty new to programming and appreciate a healthy discussion on this.

Please do not draw lines and have hate posts and all. Keep the discussion clean and intelligent.

Thanks!!

That's not 'real' composability. In Emacs, each keybindings (C-k M-k C-M-k) will run a different elisp function. They just decorated a single key with control ones.

In vi 'd' is one operation that takes a 'region' (line, word, char,...). Whatever the region, 'd' will always be a single piece of code.

The irony is that lisp being heavily function based, often orients toward composability in code, but that didn't translate into emacs keybindings at the time.
> Emacs and Atom don’t have commands for deleting to the end of a file or a paragraph — even when they have commands to move to those places.

Emacs uses regions for that. I mark the position, move in any way I want, kill-region c-w.
This statement is just vague enough for prejudice, but not concrete enough for evidence. Mental illness that was merely latent and could not be seen at the care of home, onset disabilities, many mentally ill people find drugs in reverse, not the other way around.

Sigh.
Interestingly, I think you could have the same thing than in vi in Emacs, nothing prevents it. But of course, it isn't the default, nor the way people are used to.

The post also fails the mention the concept of region in Emacs: you select a region than perform one (or multiple) commands on it, instead of encoding the region in the command like in vi.

All around, Emacs is harder on the fingers (more keypresses for the same functionality), but that's the price to pay if you don't want a separate edit and command modes; which personally I find very awkward (but perhaps it's a question of habit).
