I am a student and developer-mentor looking for a full-time position starting June/July of 2015. I have significant experience with large (500,000+ LOC) projects primarily in .NET, I have a published Android application, a vested interest in functional programming, and a strong desire to understand what a system is actually doing under the tower of abstraction it is likely sitting on.

I am looking for a challenging workplace that does its best not to operate under misconceptions and actively seeks to understand the technologies used, does not expect devs to pull more than a 40 hour work week, does not evangelize any particular technology or methodology, respects and seeks out diversity in the workplace, and pays well. A 12/12 Joel Test is much more important to me than ping-pong tables and beer on tap.
I've cleaned up a bunch of compromised servers, and I've never encountered—at least with exploited wordpress installs—an attacker sophisticated enough to change the timestamps on the files containing back doors, so, while I always just overwrote everything from a backup, finding all of the backdoored files right away would amount to something like:

$ find /var/www/blah.com/htdocs/ -iname "*.php" -mtime -1 -print

Hi, The local install option of this looks very interesting to me. I'd like to connect by email and give some feedback. Happy to buy as I'm looking for something that isn't online only.

I'm a regular user of Diigo, about 10K links, 500 different tags. Don't like it being cloud only.

My favourite feature is my ability to annotate a link (mostly highlighting text), so it effectively creates a chronological and topical feed of the exact sentences of what I want to remember from a link. It's kind of a self writing blog of what I read and experienced, complete with what stood out to me, and any notes I wanted to make.

I find I more remember a point or a sentence from a link than the link itself, and having a full text search of the words I remember highlighting and saving is incredibly powerful. I actually end up revisiting those links.

I have some experience with research and filing large databases of articles and images at a job in another life.

Look forward to chatting :)
Brings back memories. I still miss focus-follows-mouse.
A combination of "something must be done!" and "well, even if he's later let out he must have been up to no good to have even been arrested."
Actually 2012 was when GPU training was just taking off. A team from the University of Toronto entered one of the larger competitions and won by a large margin by using GPU training. They used 2 GTX 580 over the course of 6 days to train their network on millions of images.

I provide strong conceptual and design skills, organize ideas into action plans and help understand systems with their complex interactions. Looking for intellectually challenging problems and places where autonomy and creativity are encouraged.

It makes their job easier. If they have 100 cases to prosecute and they can get 95% to enter a plea deal, now they only have 5 cases to worry about. If 5% of those who plead guilty are actually innocent, the prosecutor doesn't really care because it's not a case he/she has to go to trial over.
This is very true, its navigation is awful. Luckily there is one programme that makes info pages less annoying to browse. It's called 'pinfo', feels similar to lynx, and although it doesn't show from the website, it's a useful tool, nicer than the regular 'info'.

Drupal, in particular, is harder than it has to be. I really liked this article from Sam Boyer: https://medium.com/@sdboyer/keeping-it-simple-944526c5b7fb
It doesn't. It would likely fall under trademark law. Could possibly also fall under fraud. But people have come to using 'use the DMCA' for everything involving copyrights, trademarks, and licensing agreements for some reason.
I think the most basic explanation is that lower crime rates means fewer prosecutors. Prosecutors probably estimate (and probably accurately) that putting people in prison for certain crimes is politically popular. In some cases, I suspect prison and police lobbies can influence things.
Let's give anybody who deals with traffic the benefit of the doubt and say that they can probably comprehend how much it sucks to be in traffic more often.

That aside, do you tip your Uber driver? It's interesting for me to find out that most people don't tip their drivers, and I'd like to know if it's something you do when going to/from work versus, say, a night out.
To be honest I've found interoperability to be a pain though.

So what I do is store a ".meta" file in the directory of each set of photos. That contains "location=" and "tags=foo,bar". Then I have a wee shell script to search.

If I need to I can have ".meta.IMG_FOO.CR3" to store per-picture data. But generally I order by date + location anyway, so having one file in a directory works out well.

It seems strange to me they would go on so long about podcasts and really only talk about public radio-ish podcasts. I've been listening to podcasts since the time when it was best described as an on-demand public radio feed. Public Radio has been riding the peaks and troughs of podcasting, but I wouldn't say they are leading any renaissance, real or imagined.

If there is a renaissance, it's being created by comedy podcasts. Let's mention:

Jordan Jesse Go!

WTF with Marc Maron

Comedy Bang Bang

You Made it Weird with Pete Holmes

The Nerdist

Doug Loves Movies

Harmontown

And I'm not a huge fan but you have to mention Adam Carolla and Kevin Smith here too.

These are the people who made podcasting more than just convenient radio.
I think that assessing technical talent is fundamentally different than other types of talent, because technical stuff can be measured more effectively, and talent for writing code or designing and then implementing an architecture is also easier to measure than, say, social skills.
However, there are other aspects that we should not underestimate:

1) How well this person works in a team?
2) What's his/her goal in life? Is he "done", and looking to "park" in a job until retirement? Or still very willing to learn a lot?
3) How professional is his work? I mean: does he write documentation, does he care about shipping software that is elegant and functional, etc.
Etc.

There are two companies that I admire for what they're doing in this field, at two different stages:

Gild.com - a very unique approach to measuring technical talent, by using a proprietary algorithm that takes your github, stack overflow, etc, mixes all up, adds some juice, and voilà: you have a score. A successful, estabilished company.

CloudAcademy.com - younger and smaller, they mix tech snippets, videos, and an amazing quiz system to assess your skills (currently focusing only on Cloud Computing stuff, e.g. AWS, Azure, Google Compute Platform, Rackspace, VMware vCloud Air). They also added practical labs.
What's interesting is that after 20-30 minutes of assessing your skills, they get a very clear picture of what you know and what you don't, which I believe is very hard.
(Disclaimer: I am an advisor and investor in the latter.)
I've got my parents using text secure - apart from a periodic MMS bug, they basically can't tell the difference. It's really good.
Aww. I miss using Window Maker. I used to maintain the FAQ as it was the first software project I was involved with. To set the era, newsgroups were active but dying, freenode irc was shiny and new, freshmeat (now defunct) hadn't launched yet, linux.com hadn't lost millions, and slashdot hadn't launched, and Linux was a pita to keep working on my Dell laptops.

I still give people the advice to get involved with a project even if just in a docs roll at first.

That is already possible in UNIX: just unlink(2) the file and it will be automatically deleted once its last file descriptor is closed.

Linux 3.11 added support for the O_TMPFILE flag to open(2) so it's not even necessary to call unlink(2).

We tried at Photofeed, but decided to close it earlier this year.

It's not easy to make ends meet in this market: the percentage of users that are willing to pay a monthly/yearly subscription fee is too low to make up for the cost of storing the photos.

The big players provide online photo storage for free, so the user's position is understandable. But it doesn't make it any easier for a small business that wants to, well, make business.
This mailing of cds seems silly. An attacker could compromise the cds to be different and serve you another signature on the site.

This is easy for me to do. It must be the same for others.
Just to update looks like they took my concerns into consideration.
Sent some feelers out to devs I respect. Verdict is mostly negative on Persona.

Seems like Mozilla is merely providing bare bones support for Persona these days, and has stopped funding it: http://identity.mozilla.com/

Further, and this is the real nail in the coffin for me, it seems like if you wish to change your email address or lose access to it, there's no way to migrate all accounts at once. It's up to the implementor to support that: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Persona/The_implementor_...

Fun note: Until recently, Email wasn't even required to sign up for GS. A Hacker News user pointed out that without this there's no way to let a user reset their password, so I made it required (though there's still no actual way to reset your password yet. Eeps!) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8521505
I'd strongly recommend Pocket Casts. One extremely nice feature is that if you have multiple devices (including iOS ones) it will remember where you're up to in each show across devices.

The other killer is that they manage the episode refresh check through their servers so it's a single operation for your device to check for new stuff, instead of it having to go out and check (in my case >50) individual sites like other apps.
It can play on phones, but I don't overly recommend it.
OK, you're making 2 different claims. The first claim is that Bitoiners refuse to learn from history. But the second claim is that crises are required for revolutionary change (history says, I presume). So how are Bitcoiners refusing to learn from history? By trying in the first place? Or by failing to manufacture a crisis?

And really, linking to the wikipedia page of tulip mania, as if we haven't heard that trope 10,000 times?
"Rich parents use taxi to haul kids around" - How is this news, and why is it worthy of HN?
Excellent feedback, many thanks! The tool is still in the development stage, so a lot of things are sub-optimal or missing. But your comments are all valid.

Persistent mode idea is for situations where the user wants to accumulate a large repository piecemeal - for example, a photographer can dump a day worth of files in a folder, upload to the repository and then delete the files on the local machine. This way the next sync will not delete the files dring the next snapshot.

Can you email me an example of an image file that needs to be rotated (all mine have been rotated using windows preview)?

Again, thanks for your comments! Very helpful.
Conviction rates are a career metric for prosecutors.
I haven't been in many relationships, admittedly. Just one. This Dec it will be 19 years. Those years have produced three healthy and inquisitive boys. The four in total, in my life, are the most important and precious human beings.

But time with them, I have learnt for the sake of peace and fairness, in my life, needs to be scheduled! :-)

Wife and I have spent too much time arguing and disagreeing about too many things. As the years went by we realised gradually that some shit doesn't matter. Some shit does. Disagreements don't last when hard facts surface.

But of course, my advice to the OP remains anecdotal.

We are looking for two positions:

1. LOCAL Product manager.

2. REMOTE/LOCAL Open source engineer: I lead the open source team at Treasure Data where we primarily work on Fluentd (www.fluentd.org). In particular, we are looking for someone who knows systems programming/middleware well. Familiarity with Go or Ruby a plus.

Email me at kiyoto@treasure-data.com. For the product manager role, please send me 1) your resume 2) a paragraph describing why a company needs a product manager.

For the open source engineer role, please send me your GitHub handle.
I don't work there - but that's what I thought when I read that article too. Picturelife has made it onto my homescreen and has supplanted several of the other apps I used to use. Good work!

I like how picturelife:
- has location based searching
- shows "very rough" thumbnails if you browse quickly
- Can handle my 9000+ pics on my iphone easily
- doesn't REQUIRE me to backup to the cloud (but has that option)

Like others, i'm still looking for a good desktop solution to keep track of my RAW photos from my SLR that is in multiple LR catalogs - it all ends up on my NAS bu t unbrowsable really. Mosaic has been a great fit to help see my LR photos in iOS - better than LR mobile. http://www.mosaicarchive.com/
I don't think smoking, and trying to quit smoking, it just about the nicotine. That's just one aspect of the issue.

Sadly, you cannot copy the MP3s off an iDevice using Pocket Casts. I wanted to build an archive of a couple podcasts, and lost months of episodes when I wanted to replace my iPad.

The names inside the nodes are not readable. They don't display name when clicked or hover the cursor over them. So I closed the page after 5 or 10 seconds.
Governments have rarelybpaid down debt in absolute terms (there are exceptions eg Australia at one point). Generally it shrinks as a percentage if GDP at best. If nominal GDP ever stops growing it will never be paid off. Hence 2% inflation targets...

One couldn't argue that gold isn't backed by anything. There's no argument to be made, the Bitcoin FAQ is flat out wrong.

Gold, at a minimum, is backed by the infinite, perpetual demand by people for luxury goods. It's also backed to a lesser extent by industrial uses.

Such demand guarantees some level of value for gold.

Saying that the value is way less than the price, is not the same as something having no value (your first sentence).

Your examples contradict your first point.

Tulips have value today, a lot less than the bubble. Sacramento real estate has lots of value today. Pets.com was worth something even when it went bankrupt, even as little as it might have been.

$4.3 billion isn't a very big bubble besides. Not even a drop in the ocean of global currencies.
I don't. I just dump them all in the same pot and look at them. If I need to select some out for some purpose (making an album or something), I just make another folder inside there and copy out the ones I need for that purpose.

The ones I publish, I go through, pick the best shots from the group and when I go through and edit the levels and crops and such I usually do a little pruning of that set along the way and the edited versions go in yet another folder deeper (so I have a non-destructive copy). It's useful for me to publish several variations (like different zoom levels or crops) so they buyers can buy one that fits their need the best.
Both OSX and especially Windows have extensive memory security features baked into their system allocators (ASLR, SSP, NX bit support, Guard pages, background page zeroing, etc) and even glibc has some basic security features.

Its kind of funny that windows is way ahead of your average linux distro on this front, considering the typical attitude with regards to how secure one is compared to the other.

Also its not really the BSDs that have these types of security features, its pretty much exclusively OpenBSD. FreeBSD has code support for several of these features but it is not enabled by default, and tends to break things badly when it is enabled, although work is (finally) being done to fix this situation.

I think it's fair to say that's a blaming statement. Comments by people who appreciate the value of the blockchain are not all naive. I'd say the vast majority of people don't quite understand the ramifications yet, and would rather talk about what we all focus on: money. That's not what I think the value of Bitcoin is, however.
Wongene Sexiest Productions Promo
Using Bitcoin is basically, like using a foreign currency, with the only difference, that in case of a the conventional currency you might actually live in the country it is used.

In other words, whenever you use Bitcoin you take on FX risk. This means, that Bitcoin is something you wouldn't want to store value in for the long-term.

Hedging that risk will also prove a major headache, since there aren't that many Bitcoin contracts out there, and the ones that are, carry some major credit risk with them.
I don't really see a problem with this, and feel it's been blown waaaaaaay bigger than it should have been.

Your question presumes that prosecutors are looking for the truth, right and wrong, innocence and guilt.

They are not.

Their job is to prosecute. Hence we've seen terrible stories about people prosecuted and jailed for years because prosecutors knowingly refuse to turn over exonerating evidence.

Judges are also part of this problem. They are paid by government. Their instructions (Rules of Criminal and Civil Procedure) come from government. They have often worked as prosecutors for the government. So their loyalty is to the government. We don't have an independent judiciary. It's been wholly captured by the government.

Getting to the question as to why the innocent plead guilty, when you're faced with the cost of an attorney it's often cheaper and easier to take a plea than to fight. The stress, emotional and mental toll of a legal fight are horrendous. And there is very little guarantee that a defendant will win.

The deck is stacked against you when you go to court. Prosecutors and judges are not there to have a colloquy about the law, the facts, the issues of the case, nor to debate the motivation and intent of the defendant. The prosecutor is there to win. The judge is there to ensure that the well-oiled machine keeps running and that jurors deliver the needed verdict.
