Most of the advise here seems to be along the lines of: "I was rejected from Google too, don't take it too personal". This post got a lot of upvotes, because this is an experience many people can relate to.

I read your previous post at: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8185085 and based on that I wanted to give you hopefully a little bit more personal advise. That said, I don't know much about you and personal situation, so I might be completely wrong.

Based on what you wrote, it seems like you had a setback in your life. After that you fixated all your efforts on your job interviews at Google and Amazon. When that failed, you fell into a hole.

I think, you need to find a different focus. I can't really tell you what it is, because I don't know enough about you.

What can help is to exercise and meditate every day. There is no such thing as bad mediation. Maybe talk with a psychologist, counselor or monk (I understand that you are in Thailand). It might help to view it in term of Buddhism: attachment, craving and letting go.

Regarding the multiple interviews, I would typically interview with one team, get a negative answer, not hear back from the company for a few weeks, and then be contacted by another recruiter for another team.

I don't agree with you, I believe it is wrong to blame the tool for your mistakes. I agree that it may be debatable how much of the screw ups in the PHP world is actually inherited behavior from how easy and permissive PHP is to work with (perhaps a truism though and nothing to debate about).
Project 89109 BV (NL) is hiring senior back end PHP developers with SQL knowledge
We are a Dutch company based in Haarlem experienced in creating web applications.

We have several online dating platforms that all have their own list of mailservers they use. They all have their own way of handling bounces or do not handle bounces at all.

What we want is a centralized e-mail platform that uses a growing base of centralized e-mail servers that has the folllowing features:

- send e-mail through SMTP
- send e-mail through API calls
- unsubscribe handling
- bounce handling
- read and click tracking
- e-mail modificatio (like adding a footer to unsubscribe)
- web interface (statistics, etc)
- e-mail server management (automatically add new dedicated machines and build e-mail reputation for cold IP addresses)

In short very similar to a product linke Mandrill (www.mandrillapp.com).

Estimated volume of current e-mails per month: 500.000.000
Estimated colume of e-mails per month within 6 months: 1.000.000.000

For the above problem we intend to hire at least 2 senior developers that love a challenge and get things done.

To apply for this job we created a test hosted by codility.com.

If you like to apply and live nearby (Netherlands Randstad area) or if you plan to come to Holland only for this job request the test link by sending an e-mail to:

It looks like you'd have the ability to control/turn off all the notifications you don't want. Why would you assume that wouldn't be the case? http://www.microsoft.com/Microsoft-Band/en-us/support/phone-...
How much of the advertised functionality does it have if you don't want to turn your data over to Microsoft?
I don't understand the problem. Rust doesn't have # for comments, and I find `#[random]` easier to the eyes then `@random`. Or are we speaking about `@[random]`? Then again, I've never been one for micro-syntax-discussions.
Or because of previous, arbitrary rejections. Or Apple's you-don't-need-x / NOW-you-need-x-thanks-to-our-innovation feature handling.

In fact, you won't declare Apple a thread because your house is so full of Apple products that it would make you look bad if you were to criticize them.
Bit late to the game aren't they?
It sort of depends, but it might be more human readable that way. Vs. a bunch of top level operations you have a harder time mentally applying
Out of curiosity: where should we draw the line?
For me it is about documentation. While Bootstrap was documented thoroughly (with the one exception of not having a transition guide for the changed grid system between 2.x and 3.0), I felt that this wasn't the point for Foundation. E.g. it was never clear for me wether off-canvas navigation was an experimental feature or not. Also scrolling the documentation doesn't feel smooth on my MBP / Chrome.
Some companies do this in Australia too. Our office machine (serving only maybe three coffee drinkers at most) counts cups made and this is then billed by the guy who provides the machine.

Actually, we have two coffee machines (and one lying idle) in an office of seven people, and only four people drink coffee. There are also four coffee shops within a block of us. Overkill!
Can it (or could it be made to in future iterations) record the sort of data used to produce the output of an ECG (echocardiogram)? That would be quite the application for people with actual or high risk for hear disease, I think?

You are being mean to Apple on HN. Expect being downvoted and eventually hellbanned.
I use SassC: https://github.com/sass/sassc - a basic SASS/SCSS compiler written purely in C. It's not 100% up-to-date with the ruby version and you miss out on the more advanced features like custom functions, but it's blazing fast and I've never really needed more than the basic features anyway.
It wouldn't be fun if all this was done before. This is uncharted territory and we are not taking it lightly. We have involved the right talent (some payment industry experts) and have designed this carefully. We are confident that we will pass all certifications necessary to satisfy everyone (including our own high standards).
> That suggests insufficient cooling. If it's a system that's been in use for a while, it's probably time to clean out the heatsinks and fans. If a new system is overheating from 100% CPU usage, then I would consider it defective.

Yes, definitely. The thing to advise is: Clean the heatsinks and fans, and then run a performance test such as prime95 over night to see that the machine indeed can run at 100% usage for a prolonged time. Only then I'd trust a machine that was prone to crashing under load again for my work.
I think clarifying the question is helpful. "How do I find investors?" "How to I make the best experience possible with only $7,000?" "How do I not get outbid when outsourcing a project?" "Who wants to help me code on this project?" "How do I develop the skills to build my project?" or "What resources can help me get started?"

Find your niche and own it. This means you have to clearly communicate how your service is the better learning-to-code-online choice than free resources like Codecademy and paid ones like Code School and Treehouse. Active and serious could be it. Find the niche that finds the alternatives too passive and frivolous and start monopolizing them.

Then make it.

Build something- a prototype or a sliver of your service that shows a snippet of the experience. Show the superior grading, or something- anything- so people enjoy their experience. Give them a magic moment or two. They'll notice. Even if it's just one aspect of one language. You don't need to release everything at once.

You asked "how I can find either people willing to help with this, where to find investors..." Sell it well! Make it sound appealing. Why not communicate the enticing elevator pitch to attract interested parties here on HN as well as on elance, GitHub, at your local hacker space, in irc? Most people don't want an essay, just the essence in a sentence, maybe two, at the appropriate moment.

You're always pitching. Give people a reason to want to buy whatever you're selling.
I had a rather long career in the military doing a huge variety of things, primarily with physical security. We were pretty good at our jobs (the US is generally militarily good at its job), but there were regular security lapses that would make regular people shudder. And this was involving activities with the State Department and TS facilities and materiel. You're right though: It's not like getting into a corporate satellite office. You're gonna need a badge of some kind (or correct-looking paperwork, et al) to BS your way past the guy at the door. But it's most definitely not the kind of thing people think of it.
> I experience it, as I suspect (but can't prove) do the rest of HN's participants.

Wouldn't it be interesting if science had to be advanced by resorting to individual proofs? In other words, currently we can perform one experiment and have everyone else verify what we have done by looking at our results.

It may turn out that there are some aspects of reality that can only be "proven" at the individual level; however, one would assume that this applies to everyone equally.

Continuing my analogy above, if everyone can "prove" to themselves that their own floating fruit exists (even though they can't see everyone else's), that should be enough to consider it science in my opinion.

(In essence, we move from global consensus about one event to global consensus about many similar, but individual events.)
I wouldn't trust any third party to keep my bitcoins except for the money in transit. I have my local client and local wallet, and that's where I do my transactions from.
Design consultancy allows the designer to work on multiple projects concurrently or in succession, avoiding burn out and getting more broad experience (important for their career). In house designers usually are assigned to the same product for a long period of time, though you'd think larger companies could avoid this by moving to an internal agency model.

My wife is just moving from being in-house to an agency, but these are in huge demand for beijing.
Excellent blog! I am loving all the other posts he has written!
Noise from clock skew and timings of half a second? They make a point that their information source for timing is from a subscriber which appears to trade on the information, so timing is probably accurate within 100ms. It sounds like this information can be used for a variant of a "news" trade, which can be extremely latency-sensitive.
How stable is Rust these days? I am watching it from a distance (I have no suitable project ATM) and I had the impression that the syntax went through some major changes not too long ago (a year?). Is this a thing of the past now?

You may find that Japanese salarymen are not scandalized by the notion of a token gift to secure favorable treatment in a business relationship.

They appear to be targeting roughly $20 compensation for a referral ( http://nestle.jp/amb/mgm/ ), which strikes me as well within acceptable bounds here. (And, for that matter, the US.)
I've had a B1 for 1.5yrs. They've promised a public API since before that time, but it still doesn't exist. In fact, I have a hard time thinking of any features they've added this entire time (in fact it's terrible as a watch since you can't set the time/time zone except via the web and after a full data sync, making it often useless if you travel much).

I finally got the Amiigo a couple months ago - I didn't see SpO2 stats detailed. It was actually pretty underwhelming - the Amiigo doesn't have the promised API/SDK either. The MS Band's sensor suite is better (GSR, skin temp), it's just too bad it's not waterproof.

Make the world flat – Lead product at HackerRank
We're on a mission to make the world flat - the only thing that matters is your skill and not which school/company/country you're in.

The utopian state is a platform to hone your skills in a fun/engaging way and connect with the right opportunities anywhere in the world.. through meritocracy. We're building that at hackerrank, a skill graph.

growth:
We've been growing super fast in the last 9 months, almost at 100% Q-o-Q in revenue and 40% m-o-m in MAU of hackers. Our customers use the platform both for hosting an interesting contest(eg: hackerrank.com/addepar) in the public community & to streamline their recruiting process.

customers:
we're signing up customers in a lot of different domains - financial services, healthcare, tech, etc. software is eating the world.
An interesting trivia: every private $B valued company in silicon valley is our customer.

goal:
we are working towards making hackerrank as the daily habit for hackers. there are interesting ideas to be built and tie it all together to build the skill graph.

preference:
>You have coded extensively in the past and continue to build stuff for fun

>You understand the way hackers think and what they enjoy, and you are able to translate ideas into how it should reflect on the website

>Explicit mention of some of the earlier products you've worked on - what changes you made and how they affected the business value

>Experience working in user growth teams in the past is a huge plus

>You are very numbers obsessed and the first thing you wake up to is an analytics dashboard

This would be a best-case scenario, but according to the PCalc developer it seems the decision was made "further up the chain", he had already attempted to appeal.

Seems more likely Apple has decided (far too late in the game to not make some major damage) that they want Notification Center widgets to be information-at-a-glance-only...
I didn't read the blog post as a step by step instruction, more like some commercial for the bag.

I've done quite a few rapells and sometimes keep my rope in my closed rope bag on my back (with compression cords in place) if there is a large risk of the rope getting entangled with the environment, I'm on a bridge over a road or I'm on a cliff above salt water.

I use a french prusik on the rope below the ATC and pull the rope out of the bag at the same time as I pull down the prusik. Often the rope gets slightly stuck, a harder pull on the rope has freed it for me every time and I never take care when putting the rope in the bag so I would think a proper packing of the rope would decrease that risk a lot. Should the rope get really stuck I would simply take off the bag and open it up while hanging in the harness. Not a big deal at all.

Hi! Dev lead here.

Obviously not an official MS response!

We are using a single threaded lightweight runtime based around call backs. We are completely non-blocking on all IO (including all sensors), and our CPU spends the majority of its time in a very low power mode. Every microsecond of CPU time is accounted for and justified!

I cannot wait until people look at our battery size in mAh.
Interesting, although without videos or animations along with the sounds it's not very effective. I don't get the feel for the UI with text/sounds/static images.
I assume that a portion of the calculation is "We got him to switch from a $60 plan to a $90 plan to support the iPhone 6, so rebating him $10 a month is not a hard decision."

Have the batteries progressed enough that this kind of charging is no longer a problem? (I am talking about memory effect)
Agreed. I can only hope that today is a new era, where open source software is mature enough, and manufacturing of tools is ubiquitous and cheap enough that a large company like HP will not be able to manipulate the market the way they've been able to in the past.

This is a strange page.

From the video:

Terry Wholers: "We are in the early days of 3D printing"
Carl Bass: "The far more interesting thing is going to be industrial uses..."

Terry is very wrong. 3D printing is not new it's over 30 years old. In the video it almost sounds like he has never seen 3d printing before.

Carl Bass (Autodesk) seems to understand what is going on. He is talking about the industrial uses of 3D printing.

And that's why I think this page is strange. People in the industry already know about multi-material 3D printing sometimes called PolyJet.

Edit: Looks like HP is using these steps to print:

1 lay down a layer of material(s)
2 spray a binder over the layer
3 bind the layer by applying energy (UV curing?)

Depending on which discount rate you use in your NPV calculation, it's a good deal less than $240. Also, if softbank are like mobile providers in Europe, it's a $10 credit on the most expensive plan with everything and the kitchen sink included - not the smaller tier or pay as you go plan that's actually plenty for most people.

Also, $10/month (well, less, depending on what the iPhone is actually worth) doesn't seem to be totally out of whack for a short term promotion to grab some market share.
I doubt any CMS will adopt this into its core, since there are so many approaches to chose from, all yet unclear in benefits. These community solutions should perhaps be marketed better, and if there is indeed a need for this functionality, the market should prove that.

Thanks you, I had to scroll down a fair bit to see someone point this out.

I am with you, I wouldn't wear one if they paid me. The data they are harvesting is a lot more valuable than the service they are providing.

I am sure health insurance companies are salivating at the opportunity to buy this data. Even if the data is anonymous.
You're right. Settings are not even necessary in my example, as we should be fine with defaults in most cases. The only lines you really need are these four:

from django.conf import settings
settings.configure(ROOT_URLCONF='polls')
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()

You lose some of the Django niceties (like being able to provide your own custom settings on the command-line) but flask doesn't have them anyway.

> One could probably argue the value of an open platform could meet or exceed Apple, given enough time and money.

GNU/Linux are at it for 20 years with money pumped from Intel, Google, IBM, Red Hat, SuSE and many others.

The only success on the desktop is in the form of Android/Linux and Google has the freedom to change the kernel for something else whenever they feel like it.

How much money and time is still required?

That is an element I hadn't considered, and yeah, that's pretty scary indeed, especially in light of the recent email hacking at CurrentC. I was lucky when I lived in the states to have a credit union that largely treated debit as credit re: fraud, but I've known many who were not so fortunate.
> This or something similar was on 60 Minutes a few months ago

In that it may involve HFT, it is similar. But otherwise, no. RBC's problem was in failing to handle latency arbitrage when attempting to execute against all 13-14 exchanges in parallel. Which was solved by Thor, not by IEX. And IEX is a dark pool, not an exchange (quotes are not protected, nor even visible!)

The news here is that SEC is potentially underhandedly running a news service business for earnings traders. I don't think it's much news, but it is quite different from the "Flash Boys" discussion.

Visual Studio has been using COM since COM was new. That 21 years of code that's been written against an API that Linux doesn't provide.

COM is not only proprietary but also a horrible thing. I don't see it ever being on any Linux list of things to do.

It will never install on Linux.

If you want something as good as Visual Studio on Linux, write it.
I like your reasoning. Worth mentioning the Apple Watch starts at $349.

> feel that it's designed for fitness nuts

This product is quite a leap for Microsoft already. The watch market is young and probably led by fitness nuts.

It's probably a good strategy for Microsoft to nail this market first, learn about the marketing and triggers, secure a position and a revenue, then extend to a larger watch market when it is more structured.
