In my experience two days is low. 5-10 days is more common, and most companies are fairly willing to negotiate beyond that given some circumstances. It's not common to see candidates rejected if they try to accept an offer after it explodes.
You can change the section headings under "Header Value" for each section under the customizer so that "Summary" can be "Objective" or "Employment" can be "Experience", but that's my fault for not making it prominent enough.

Definitely agree on adding the missing sections as these aren't the only things you can put on a resume!
What could a lunar observatory do that an orbiting one like the planned James Webb Space Telescope or the proposed Advanced Technology Large-Aperture Space Telescope couldn't?

Yes it is. If we want platforms that allow truly free speech, this is part of the cost of that privilege. Much in the same way, here in the US, we allow the KKK to rally in public. We don't have to like it, and we don't have to participate, but trying to legislate it or regulate it to a state where it is free from undesirables will ultimately lead to abuses that will limit speech from minorities.
Switzerland is pretty special, but so are the swathes of America that aren't on the coasts.

Only from flyover America comes this constant trickle of reports of yet another female principal standing at the school door checking the hemlines of her charges. As for mosques with minarets, I saw this mosque (a big one) in a large Southern city that looked vaguely like a church, didn't have a minaret, didn't even mention that it was in fact a mosque, it just had a three-letter acronym on the side in green letters. This is a strong statement for a religion that actively seeks converts. John 8:7 please.
"Dramatically expand their skills" and "easier to understand" are opposite directions; ease of use means getting some results with as little skill expanding as absolutely possible.

For immediate results and learning, your proposal spreadsheets would be harder to understand - if your data fits on a single screen (not ...F405), then you can just point your finger at it and say "Here! here are the widget prices!", but any structured model would (a) require thinking about what a right structure would be for the situation (that's the hard to use part, takes effort), (b) require understanding about what makes a proper data model (that's the hard to learn part, many people won't know how) and (c) makes it nontrivial to update that model (that's the hard to maintain part - less chance to break stuff, but more effort to do it properly).

For reusable datasheets and estabilished processes it's an entirely different situation, and for that there are not-Excel apps or named ranges within excel; but creating an usable dataflow and a reasonable structure is a much, much more difficult skill than using excel currently. It may be easy for you, but not for the general population; heck, I see heaps of second year CS students that have no clue about how to structure their data, so requiring that can't make spreadsheets easier to understand.
Longevity increases the lifespan of the brilliant minds that can make much further progress with a few extra decades than we can in the meantime.
I see this sort of thing a lot and I still can't understand it. Syntax is, to me, completely trivial. Power through it and get on with life. For an experienced programmer, looking at code should be like that scene in The Matrix where the guy points to a screen full of symbols and says he just sees "blonde, brunette, redhead."

It goes the other way too: quite a few people have described disliking Objective-C's weird bracket syntax and much prefer Swift because of that, and I can't understand that either. It's just syntax.
That bounce was pretty slick, someone put a good amount of work into that if it is fake.

> One new feature is Optional Typing. You can decide whether a variable is ever allowed to be null.

Ugh, Swift is really confusing terminology here. Swift has an "option" type, like "Option" in Haskell and F#. It's a wrapper around an object that may or may not be present. You can use that to avoid null-everywhere.

This is totally unrelated to "optional typing", which is a style of static type systems that support mixing typed and untyped code.

Alas, Swift called their option type "Optional" and then talks about "an optional type".
That's just not true. Internet users are trained to look for HTTPS security indicators. Nobody is trained to distinguish between "marginally improved security" and "actually improved security". But in the former (self-signed) case, nobody, for instance, should be providing credit cards.
You are correct sir.

This is the equivalent of a an "impulse" rack of merch at the checkout line at the grocery store or a gas station.

Would you care to share some of the new news? I'm presently looking for computationally efficient dense monocular VSLAM (visual simultaneous localisation and mapping) implementations to use in an upcoming personal project. openvis3d looks like it could be used to do binocular VSLAM, which would also be acceptable.

To seed the conversation, LSD-SLAM [1] looks really interesting, but last I checked the source has not yet been released. By "interesting" I mean that it's real time, dense, and runs on a low-powered (smart phone) CPU. I wish it was accurate enough to not need loop closure, but it's the best I was able to find over an afternoon of searching.

If you host your source on GitHub, you should definitely check out Gitter. It's free for public repos and the integration is great; you get Markdown, integrations, IRC bridge, etc. Check for example the Marionette community to get a feeling of it: https://gitter.im/marionettejs/backbone.marionette. Disclaimer: I work at Gitter, feel free to ping me at https://gitter.im/malditogeek
My understanding of Javascript is that it is essentially single-threaded. Maybe I am mistaken, but if that is indeed the case, how does something like JS-CSP or Clojurescript's core.async accomplish concurrency? Has there been a change in the underlying Javascript? Is it just using tricks to make single-thread act like multi-thread?
View your profile in incognito mode and you'll see what's public or not.

If you are 'leaking' information this way you can avoid it by anonymously cloning projects to elsewhere, and not commenting or w/e interactions are broadcasted. Github has really shitty privacy controls so I don't think you can conceal yourself very much while using their service.

They claim on their Kickstarter that they can get around this:

The Apple Review process restrictions are very specific. Apple forbids the dynamic loading of remote code. But this is not what Air-Control does, our library contains all the code it needs so no code is loaded dynamically. Our library only downloads content and configurations, which is permitted by Apple.

For a very similar use case we can reference our existing tool, nativeCSS, which is a dynamic styling library for iOS and Android. This is very similar to what Air-Control does, it downloads styles and applies them to a running app. This has been installed in a wide range of Apps, and has been approved by Apple since its launch in December 2012.

Whether or not Apple actually goes for this is another question entirely.
Not if you hit their export button. It creates a PDF with proper setup. In fact, they did research on default order of information as most commonly requested by recruiters / Hr. I would go as far that for a lot of jobs people hiring would prefer to get a format they know (LinkedIn export is probably known to them). Of c Course there will always be jobs where a custom resume is better, though creddle is not unique enough for that (thing art directions).
I'll give it a try and report back
Don’t use implicit length strings at all. Use one of the various better string libraries, or use explicit length + buffer representations with memcpy and friends. Safer and faster than any of the “safe” string APIs.
It's directly related to how familiar the syntax is. If a syntax is very foreign, it's difficult for your brain to read it, and it is uncomfortable. People don't like being uncomfortable :)

The more syntax you learn, the less new forms confuse you.
My two cents for mozilla, and im sure they will be sort of offended by this, but the best strategy, one that should be pursuit years ago, is to get the chrome engine, and replace the webkit/blink layer with the mozilla web rendering engine..

That way, they would have the multi-process architecture, they need badly, but with their core, the web layer intact..

The chrome architecture is good enough, that you can replace the webkit layer without mess with other core parts

Dont know why they are procrastinating with servo instead, and doing the same mistakes netscape did years ago, to rewrite the whole engine, while IE was capable to take the lead in the browser wars back than.. the same mistake!!

Elon Musk thinks autopilot will come before driverless, too: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-05-07/tesla-ceo-talking-w...
(or at least he did last year). I tend to agree. More cars have things like lane detection and adaptive cruise control that are steps towards autopilot. Truly driverless is not just a hard engineering problem, it is a huge unsolved social and legal problem.

Ask HN: Should I go for MBA? Feeling torn and down. Please please advice
Hi ,
I have been lurking on this for past couple of months and posting first time. Sorry for the long post.

I am from India currently working on H1-B visa in US. I have 7 years of experience. Over the years I have worked on primarily in BI and Data warehouse area. Technically I do okay ; not the super coder kind of good but not noob as well. Lately, I am feeling torn between multiple choices that I have to go from here.

1. I have studied engineering in the past. I would like to go for MBA. However, it is becoming very hard to land job. I am confident that I can land at least in top 25 school in US. Doing MBA mean I will put 2 years more in study ; will empty 30k I have accumulated so far and will be in debt for around another 80k.
Even after that finding decent paying job going to be major challenge.

2. Getting job ( or even reply ) is increasingly getting difficult. I completed project management certification from reputed university but employer doesn't seem to care. My current job pays okay but nothing great to expect there. Plus, it is increasingly becoming dull day by day. I am yet to learn Hadoop and related big data technologies. By realistic expectation learning these technologies is going to take time.

3. I have couple of ideas for startup but United States law does not allow to start business on visa. Going back to India and working on startup is altogether different story ( won't go in much detail but been lived for 25 years I can tell you that it will be x100 times difficult than in US ).
Not sure what to do at this point. Struggling internally to make any kind of decision and feeling frustrated day by day.

Many of you have worked on startups, achieved quite a bit of success and could have been in similar situation. What do you think would be best way to move forward ?
Wouldn't it make more sense to pour money into this instead of solar? On one hand, the solar industry provides jobs but the discovery of fusion would be a huge step to energy independence and reducing pollution.

If China gets this first, and doesn't share it with the rest of the world, that would solve a lot of their problems.

As a pragmatic libertarian, I'm fine with the free flow of capital across borders, but people are not mere capital. We are agents with opinions about how the world should be, who reserve the right under certain circumstances to back up those opinions with force. Unless you're willing to have a nightmare police state like North Korea, you can't maintain a civilized society by fiat. You have to have consensus among the governed. Hence nationalism: the principle that political borders should coincide with cultural ones. If you break that, if you try to impose a single state on people of different cultures who have different ideas about how things should be, you end up with, as has been demonstrated over and over again, misery at best and genocide at worst. How many times does history have to teach us that lesson before we learn it?

The real solution is to move on from this 19th-century idea that having a job has to mean locating your body in physical proximity to your employer. The round-trip delay for a lightspeed signal across the Atlantic is less than a tenth of a second. Being located in Belfast should not be an obstacle to working for an American company.
Its a back up, not a replacement.

Maybe github is down or they close your account because they don't like you.
This article was frustrating to read because it has heaps of criticism without offering anything constructive about what reddit should do differently as policy. It also quotes from and criticizes reddit's blog post, but unhelpfully doesn't even link to it (I've linked it below).

reddit admins have posted a few things explaining how they handled this crazy situation:

* http://www.redditblog.com/2014/09/every-man-is-responsible-f...

* https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/2fpdax/time_...

It's a difficult situation and this article doesn't have anything helpful to say.
Reddit gives you easy exit over voice. You can always start your own subreddit and run it pretty much however you want.

When did American journalists turn into such delicate flowers concerned with privacy anyway? Where was all that indignation when some old guy's private conversations were analysed for their racist content? No problem there? Or when Gawker "reported" on Hulk Hogan sex tape? How is TMZ not constantly under fire?

I'm liking this new stance but it seems rather selective.
We've become very good at the thermal energy differential -> mechanical energy -> rotational mechanical energy -> electrical energy system, just because it's trivially easy to get that first step since nearly every form of energy can be converted to heat.

Some of our energy production machines use only a subset of these steps (e.g. internal combustion engines just use mechanical energy -> rotational mechanical energy), but pretty much everything save solar uses at least one of these conversions. So I find anything outside this cycle very interesting.
Thanks, http://openborders.info looks like a great starting point.
This is a really nice programming environment. It reminds me of playing with forth for the instant feedback and interactive working.
Ask HN: Landing page of our upcomming product. What do you think?
Hey HN,

We are launching our product soon, this is already the 3rd version of our landing.

Could you please review it? Is everything clear? Or some parts need to be explained better?
No. MBAs are parasites.
Short answer: Yes.

Concurrency does not necessarily mean parallelism (multi-threading). CSP-derived mechanisms provide abstractions for units-of-work to yield control to other units-of-work. Here, a unit of work is a function invocation, but it can be a block, a thread-like object etc. With such primitives it is fairly easy to build cooperative (as opposed to pre-emptive) concurrency mechanisms.

For a mature example, see e.g. http://www.stackless.com/
Given their investment in ReSharper, and that almost everyone who uses .NET is using VS, I would be surprised if they think it's worth their while.

Having said that, I wouldn't have expected them to put out AppCode, either but maybe it's because Xcode sucks so amazingly much whereas it seems everyone sings the praises of VS.
SAR -> Synthetic Aperture Radar
INS -> Inertial Navigation System
RF -> Radio Frequency

Yes, I should have spelled out the first two. The third I do expect most people here to know, given the context of the thread.

> Do you think that most of the people that are browsing over and reading these comments are knowledgeable enough in your niche field to know all those acronyms?

RF and sensors may be a portion of electrical engineering that is rarely discussed here, but it is hardly "niche".

I made a quick post where I should have made a more detailed one. Mea culpa.
"configurations" can be used to change code behavior, which is what the rule is designed to prevent. My money is on Apple rejecting this.

>> "at this point I can already say that cryptocurrencies are the future of the global economy"

You can say it all you want - that doesn't mean it's going to happen. Personally I see cryptocurrencies becoming popular enough that 'normal' people use them from time to time and understand how they work but I don't see the entire global economy switching from current currency forms to cryptocurrency anytime in the near future.

The fundamental problem is Mozilla has drifted further out of touch with reality as the funding it receives is not attached to incentivisation of the correct course of action. At this point they look like a social justice movement masquerading as software development organisation, with the net result being a greater appeal to the social justice movement than software developers.

This is just one manifestation of that, and the resulting misallocation of resources. Firefox used to succeed by being better, not by having an ideology. That at one point it had both is a happy accident.
"but simply disregarding the time frame seems pretty safe"

All depends. Once again you could be right but I could also argue under the theory that "once you make a sale you close and get your ass out of dodge". Because things can and do change.

Keep in mind that an open offer not taken can be withdrawn. Or new information can come up which makes it less attractive or gives someone a reason to change their mind. I offer this not as specific advice given the topic but more generally that there are deals that are lost by "dicking around".

I've both seen this happen to others and have had it happen to deals I have done.

In one case Se______a Capital wanted to buy something that I had. I decided to go for a higher amount. Something happened and then they didn't want it at any price. Not even the original offer. Not at all.

Same technique I had used for years that never failed. But it failed in this case.

But there is a difference in my case. It's part of my business to sell what they were trying to buy from me. It wasn't a one shot deal. So I could afford to employ a method that had worked for me for years and be wrong in this one instance.
The Kin should have been called the Contractual Obligation Phone. Microsoft had to give it to Verizon, but they were really late. Verizon had to take it, but they didn't push it.

I went to a Verizon store when Kin shipped (Kin was developed by my old team, so I wanted to see it) and I couldn't get a rep to pull one out of a box to show it to me.

I know someone in MSR that ended up with a truckload of them; they're reflashed and used for lots of little things. Kind of a neat second life.
When I saw a band in the list of test clients, it sort of made sense. I wouldn't buy clothes, but spend $1 to get this soundboard boot of a song from concert X? I'd probably click that.

And now that I think of it, also books and concert tickets. One thing that frustrates me endlessly about fiction authors is they don't curate mailing lists. For whatever reason -- and they must have tested it -- amazon does not do a good job of informing you of new releases from authors you've purchased. I have a handful of authors I like enough that I buy everything they write. The smarter ones curate email lists to help me do that, but I think twitter often serves that purpose for authors and bands. So if they could sell me concert tickets or their new releases inline I may well buy.
Thanks. It makes sense.
Ask HN: To Join a Startup or to Join Company?
I am currently contracted as a part-time developer and the contract ends this month. Friend of mine asks me to join his IoT startup* (aka. become his co-founder). He is very passionate and very energetic when he is talking about the startup. The problem is i don't see his point this startup would be succeed (even though 10 years ago he started a startup and succeed). He has said about the strategy: to make awareness about this new technology, first we would do consulting. Once we have enough idea, we will make a product. I don't like his consulting strategy (because most clients sucks), but yes we don't have any idea what product to make.

At the same time, i am offered a job in a company, with high enough salary (at least, high enough in my area) and good environment (At least they understand Joel Test). Also, they have single working product, which i will be working on, if i accept the offer.

What should i consider to make decision (to make startup or to join company)?

* in addition: i don't live in the developed country like US. Here, internet of things is still new (yet it would boom eventually). Just like mobile app market, it took 2-3 years to bring smartphones become popular here.
