Obviously you have to consider the social context. A place that's the local watering hole at night could just be a convenient lunch spot during the day. But the article mentioned going to a bar after dinner, which is generally a time and setting where people are out to drink and meet people to date.

And yes, you can encounter unwanted attention anywhere, but at a bar at night, certain sorts of advances are acceptable and expected. Indeed, I'd raise an eyebrow if someone complained about getting unwanted but otherwise harmless attention at a bar. Those advances aren't what is inappropriate--it's holding a job interview in that setting that's inappropriate.
I'd say this is quite the relevant blog post for your situation: http://blog.samaltman.com/founder-depression
I think there is a fundamental lack of understanding with how business works unless you have a new angle or technology to accomplish this. Is there a physical business that doesn't have a $100 Lifetime value per customer?
It actually doesn't matter what the goalposts are very much. I've seen it asked with explicit goalposts, but it didn't seem to change anything except readjusting the goalposts; you could still infer the intent. "1 is a complete newbie, 10 means you helped write or at least have memorized the specification" just means the real scale is now 3-8, and they'll pick from there, scale accordingly. That said, someone who asks gains a point right off, as it were.

It's intended to view their confidence. As someone else posted, the older they've gotten, the lower they'd score. That's because as they've gotten more experience, they've had more of those "...wow, this code someone else wrote is so much better than mine" and "Oh man, this code I wrote 6 months ago is -terrible-", etc.

Someone who says "I'm a ten!", it doesn't matter what they think the goalpost is, the are the best they can imagine, which either means they are great (hence seeing how they answer on the followup questions), or it means they aren't, but they've never seen better...which means they aren't out learning, be it from other devs they work with, open source code, whatever. Throw them some hard questions, see how they answer. If they do well, snap them up, as they're good and they know it; if they do poorly, you may want to pass (a lot of the worst performing candidates I've seen ranked themselves 8-10 in a technology).

Someone who says "I'm a 3 maybe" probably means they are passably fluent, but they haven't done much with it, and they recognize it. Feel them out some easy questions first, and expect that if you need them to use this language there will be some mentoring and/or time needed to get them up to speed, but they'll probably be willing to learn given that they applied, and recognize they don't know it well.

Someone who says "I'd like to think I'm an 8, but most days I probably code more at a 6" means they're probably quite good with that language, but also quite realistic, and have had experience with requirements changing, making hard decisions due to delivery dates, have worked with a lot of libraries and people and seen some who are better, some who are worse. Start with intermediate questions and go from there.

It has no direct bearing on passing/failing the interview, it's just used to set the tone and expectations of the interview. If we have multiple positions open, it might be taken in conjunction with how you do to determine what position is offered, as well.
Agreed. My wife had to upgrade her dropbox plan recently to the $41.60/mo 500GB plan. I had to really weigh the pros and cons of switching. In the end, I decided the costs of me having to provide "technical support" to my wife was worth the roughly $30/mo in the short term over Google Drive (and now OneDrive), but figured we would start trying to convert her over the next year or so.

Dropbox is in a really tough spot, because if they even cut their prices in half (which would still be significantly more expensive than OneDrive), their revenue would drop tremendously right before an IPO. My guess is that the primary options are to stay the course, go public ASAP, hope you don't get bled too much from Google/Microsoft and try to find more reasons for people to pay a premium for Dropbox, or to sell to Apple, which is the only big player without a meaningful competitor.
There was also some discussion about metadata being changed once the files were uploaded to OneDrive. So if you plan to use it just for plain file storage then it might be an issue.
I'm a huge supporter of piracy but I personally prefer to boycott any non-free ebooks or movies instead.

It's easy to break the technological norms that protect books. It's a lot tougher to break the cultural ones.

Where is The claim being made, and the source of all my karma shedding on this is that adding more bike lanes will get more people to ride bikes. The "Field of Dreams" argument.

The comment you link agrees with you. There's not much glassy eyed pontificating about the wonders of bike lanes in the rest of the tree either.
Your column was hugely important for me growing up in the UK where I'd go for weeks or even months without internet access. Being able to stay up to date with free software stuff was a big deal.

From what I recall one of the groups that seemed to be heavily represented in Second Life was stay-at-home mums, who were obviously limited in how much they could go out and socialise in the real world.
Combine it with a Pressy button[1] and you won't even need to override the power button.

When I click on "Choose Style" button, I am jumping into a complete mess of bright colors and I don't know what have happened. I have no idea what to do and it took me a good 30 secs to find the "Add to Cart" button (and only because I was looking).

Personally, I would go with the usual selection of style through a drop down box or may be a simple "squares" with images (with zoom) and one BIG "add to cart" button right there above the fold.
At least yours has the correct punctuation.
I think the issue is whether or not the government can "disappear" people. In other countries, we've already been doing this for decades, but in theory, at least, it doesn't happen to US citizens. If the US is allowed to just send a drone strike on a US citizen, who is otherwise entitled to due process, the thinking is that the government can just ignore due process and start killing people from afar. Bad precedent.
Yup, this is what I remember discovering back when I proposed this idea at Google back in 2007. ;-)
I feel the same way. This is a display of the veil of ignorance that shrouds war and citizens. US citizens are OK slaughtering 'others' (the faceless and nameless) with drones. When it comes to 'it could be me', it turns into a great outcry against the force. 'It can only be them.' The thought really needs to be 'if XYZ occurs, anyone deserves to be droned.' Perhaps, we would be more sympathetic for the others.
What I'm really wanting is the ability to have completely separate IMAP accounts for my various domains, but it's good to see they're adding calendaring, that seemed like an odd omission
I'd say the primary differentiator of Ghost is that it's meant for blogs, and nothing more. Wordpress has evolved to the point where blogs are just one of the many uses.
And? That doesn't mean it cannot be a plugin.
Are OSX virtual machines allowed now?

I mean, obviously you can do it at home, but a company has to be a little more careful.
That was something completely different, and a result of Microsoft's naming screwup: Sharepoint adds/changes some metadata of MS Office files (for collaboration, etc.). OneDrive for Business is essentially Sharepoint in the cloud.

This OneDrive does not change metadata, it's a 'simple' cloud storage.

BTW: interesting, I've submitted this link an hour or so ago, and it was immediately flagged as dead. :)
I tried this with https and it uses http to load the script contents, which causes some warnings and didn't work for me.

Worked fine on http, though.
Out of curiosity, why Yii?
Who determines who's an enemy combatant? That's always the core issue. We should not trust the man behind the curtain to always tell us who needs to be killed by a drone with no trial.
That's only OneDrive for Business [1], a product that (fortunately) shares nothing but branding with the consumer product. Not so say the latter doesn't have its own warts...simply that it doesn't have that particularly egregious one.

Under the DMCA, circumvention of DRM is a violation of the law. You may as well just pirate everything.

You can address this concern technologically, but can you do it culturally?

Not to mention, what happens when you forget to strip out the DRM and Amazon [revokes your books.](http://pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/17/some-e-books-are-m...)

Are you really suggesting that you strip the DRM out from every book your purchase from Amazon? (Though, feel free not to incriminate yourself on the internet while responding.)
> I would assume "liking each other" is usually a given job requirement.

Not really. I've had plenty of co-workers over the years I did not particularly like, but with whom I've had very productive working relationships. I'm not saying I actively disliked them, but they are not the type of people I would have become friends with in other situations.

There was the guy who was super into his micro-brewery, had to make sure everyone knew about it, and had a critical opinion of every restaurant in the county. Super annoying, great programmer, we worked really well together. One of my favorite co-workers.

There was the lady who went on and on about her pugs. She always smelled like she'd just expressed their anal glands. Very self-absorbed as well. You could depend on her to take care of any issue that came to her desk in a timely fashion, with excruciating attention to detail.

There was also the one office assistant who was the nicest, friendliest person on the floor. She never got anything done. You either had to nag her about something, work around her, or just do it yourself.

Of course, often times when you take the time to get to know someone you find that your initial impression was wrong or shallow, and you end up really liking them. However, your "culture fit" portion of the process never gets beyond that shallow impression. Learning to get along with people you don't "like" is one of the hallmarks of maturity.

And that's probably a good thing. That, or indicate it separately. "Some experience with..." or something, to show that "Hey, I've seen this, I've played with it, I've got some concepts down, but if you ask me about this I am totally going to demur". I can't speak to interviewers at large, and certainly, it ends up with recruiters trying to hire for those languages which is irritating, but I'd like to see it just to ask in what context you've used it. "Played with it in my spare time" is a plus in my book; it means you're actively curious.
It's unfortunate that someone downvoted you, I've tried to negate that.

The only reason I made a comment to this effect is that I've noticed an uptick in articles about how Github is your resume/marketing yourself/marketing your OSS/how you should only work on 'important' OSS/some other silly notion. I want to believe this isn't a problem, but with open source powering so much, it appears that people want to be the next DHH.

I think there is something to worrying about software shifting to a heavily reputation-based economy (as opposed to one oriented around making things). Namely, in that shift, it rewards people who generate noise, regardless of the amount of signal contained. Polluting the well, in this case, results in everyone having to output a certain amount of signaling just to keep up.

It's entirely possible I am projecting some here, as I've struggled with this myself. I just don't want to always concerned with this tripe, because it's not the same at all as actually making software.
Not to mention "put yourself out there" usually means the same rehash of the groupthink, and/or sometimes baseless opinions ("here's why I hate MongoDB because of blah blah blah, but I never used it actually")

There are a lot of useful blog posts and social media interactions and they're usually useful (especially with google), but no, I don't need another blog post saying how to install RabbitMQ

You realize you just provided a set of opinions against a set of facts?
Well, Ted Bundy got a trial.

But you are right, a police officer would have shot him had he caught Ted in the act and no one would think badly of it.

I suppose this is the difference. If the person being struck by a drone actually had a machine gun and was using it when he was struck than yes... a crime was being stopped with lethal force. If he is at home asleep and you send a drone to kill him at a time he is not engaged in the act maybe you are veering into extra-judicial execution. And that is why this is problematic.

If the US were putting journalists in Jail, it would be equally relevant. Geo politics, yes, as in whatever is going on between Egypt & Qatar. But I'm interested whenever folks like journalists, artists etc are targeted. Snowden was all over HN & you might argues that's political too, but relevant to this community nevertheless.

I'm sure they've mentioned this but how will developers test their applications? Will we have simulators for Amazon Fire apps?

Yes, Apple's license allows it now.
It was referring to the violence of apartheid. You left out the opening lines mentioning the shattering of shock windows, the bomb in the baby carriage, and the soldiers on the side of the road, which change the entire meaning of the lines you posted.
The most important thing that every software developer needs to know about security is just remember that "bad" guys are out there. I've seen many cases when people make bad security decision simply assuming that it is just fine and nobody cares. Having a little paranoia as a software developer will help you to write better code (not only from security perspective).
Congratulations to rwitoff and team at JPL for pulling it off!
We've gone full circle: Firefox/Phoenix was born as a way to separate the browser from (guess what) html-authoring, email, calendaring etc, which used to be "the same program" aka Netscape Communicator / Mozilla Suite. The split basically killed off most of the orphaned components.

Now Mozilla are busy rebuilding an html-authoring tool and packing it into the browser. I bet messaging will follow.
Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly. I was having a discussion earlier today. It seems like a choice between the publishing cartel and Amazon. Amazon is probably better for just books, but for everything else, I'm uncomfortable with the potential monopoly.

I boycott non-free books and culture. I'm very leery of Amazon, too, but I don't have a policy for them yet.
Very cool - somehow I hadn't seen this before, and you've been around for 10 Years, and I try and follow all things storage. Not sure how I missed your product.

I know AWS is fine with this sort of usage (they charge for storage + data access) - any sense as to whether Dropbox/OneDrive/Google Drive are okay with applications being written on top of their cloud storage?

I.E. is this a hack, or something I should feel comfortable using as a storage option. And, other than AWS, are there any vendors you feel are most likely to be okay with using their service in this way?
This is a much better comment than how it started out.

Intellectual humility is a good capsule summary of what I'm looking for (despite my username; I never claimed to be self-consistent). But intellectual humility can be at odds with the notion of always presenting the 'best' side of yourself to the market. I'm interested in an individuals steps and missteps, not a carefully-marketed image.

As a democracy and regardless of citizenship, doesn't _everyone_ deserve due process? The first thought that crosses my mind are Canadian terrorist mounties with snow wolves, snow mobiles, alcohol and aboots. Would they be droned by the US or captured and trialed?
I'm going to apologize in advance for reading your post as "people who don't feel strongly against surveillance are racist bigots".

I disagree. Most of us have not been affected by this personally. We are wrapped up in our own lives, and have disengaged from news sources we don't trust, or are completely beholden to our favorite news source.

To change our thoughts, we need a high profile story of an outrageous use of this technology.

Any plans for a Linux version?

Show HN: Yo in your terminal
The military has been operating outside of the law using executive action attacking citizens of sovereign countries with no declaration of war for a long time. We keep electing weak congressional members that let it happen, and we won't impeach presidents based on this, so it will keep happening. It's one of the core libertarian beliefs.
This is a whole separate topic, but I'm glad you mentioned it.

I don't see enough heresies entertained in a supposedly-progressive-minded crowd like HN. That is a problem, because it represents a real stumbling block to progress.

I find blogging for blogging's sake to be just noise.

When I have something to share, I'll share; when I don't, I don't. Confidence has little to do with it.
Sorry, but this looks like you're attacking a straw man. I never said that "not all systems should be programmable". My actual belief is, as a matter of fact, completely opposed to that.

What I'm saying is that you do and will for a long time need a degree of technical expertise to develop webpages. The gap is shrinking, but will exist for at least quite some time. I'm not being an elitist, just real. The technical expertise needed to browse even the most complex websites versus the one needed to put together even the simplest ones is far smaller. Why would putting this Web IDE into an add-on ever accent the border between creation and consumption?

It's good to have software with a single responsibility. All other things equal, Mozilla's Firefox division can maintain a web browser without an IDE better than they can a browser with an IDE. If Mozilla was to develop an IDE, it would be easier to split it into a separate piece of software (say an add-on) and dedicate another, different development team to work on it. That would be another program with a single responsibility.

This is vaguely reminiscent of the Unix way, and I'm very respectable of it, for the main reason that it's aligned with my personal philosophy (KISS), but also because it was able to create and sustain such a big community founded on openness and contributions and not driven by profit margins and managers in suits.
We're working on full-featured Elixir web framework:
https://github.com/phoenixframework/phoenix

> Also I really have no interest in learning a language just to write yet another website in.

It depends on what you mean by website and what your goals are. What Erlang/Elixir provide is distribution, fault tolerance, and concurrency in the most straight forward way I've experienced coming from any other language. If you're making brochure sites, it's not a compelling cost tradeoff, but if your target is a highly concurrent, fault tolerant service that can be easily distributed across 100s of servers, then it's going to be much harder to find an alternative. Elixir 1.0 should be out later this summer. It should be a smoother ride after that.
Looks like the British Isles. Not sure what happened to the rest of Europe.
In the long run, lying to judges eventually bites you in the ass.
Sorry, but developers are not the best people to listen to when it comes to anything having to do with human psychology.
I haven't set up a site yet for posting about progress but that's because I've been busy, not for lack of interest in doing so.

I'm curious to know how people feel about offline (pre-transformed) vs. on-demand transformations. Are there any HN'ers out there that have worked on a site with a large set of images, and have an opinion on this? Adobe's Scene7 product works in an offline mode as far as I can tell, and seems to have captured a large segment of retail companies with product catalogs.
Nope, that's not the core issue. The core issue is what constitutes an "imminent threat".

If they are not an imminent threat then there is existing international and domestic laws that should be followed (i.e. arrest, extradition, trial, evidence, lawyers, etc).

If they are an imminent threat then there is existing international and domestic laws that should be followed (i.e. it's ok to shoot and kill someone who is trying to light your house on fire - it should be ok to drone them too).

The whole citizen/noncitizen debate was a rhetorical construct created by Rand Paul to show the moral outrage that is droning someone who is not an imminent threat.

> As a democracy and regardless of citizenship, doesn't _everyone_ deserve due process?

Not if they are an imminent threat.
So instead of a one-time cost, they'd rather bleed money due to lowered productivity? I don't know how much time you spend developing internal tools, but I'd expect the cost in lost time to surpass the cost of a few (possibly shared) development machines rather quickly.
Perf CPU Sampling
No public evidence that this has happened yet, though I wouldn't doubt that it's been done. (terrorist mountie here, funded by illegal maple syrup trafficking if you really must know ;)
But not knowing what you don't know is really to be expected of people who are recent grads in particular. I think this reveals why the question is problematic unless it is worded very specifically.
A 10 from a recent grad could legitimately mean "I've had no problems learning everything that has been thrown at me so far and have very high confidence that I will easily be able to learn more" as much as it could mean "I know everything".
