I think it's OTT describing it as a secret. If a job spec lists a skill, highlight where you've used it so I can see your experience. That's not difficult or counter intuitive or unreasonable.

Realistically I can't interview everyone and it wouldn't be in anyone's interest to do so. The current stats I have say I will first interview one in four screened CVs. Out of those about one in three will get a second interview and half of those an offer. So I interview maybe half a dozen people per appointment from about 25 CVs).

That means right now if you give up an hour of your time for a first interview (plus travel and so on), you've got a one in six chance of getting a job. If I interviewed more people, your chances go down. I may end up with a better recruit but I'm actually externalising a lot of the costs to the other candidates who don't get the role.
I think you're way too easy on congress (and they will happily pass the buck for unpopular decisions to the president). They could have done more, but chose not to. This is not a case of the president "pushing" their agenda through, but of the president's agent coinciding with the agendas of congress.

Inbox user chiming in: I actually like the desktop interface, and it's nice to not have to change mental context when using Inbox on mobile vs the desktop (probably the best, if more subtle, benefit to the Material overhaul of Google's services). My biggest gripe is the more restrictive keyboard shortcuts compared to Gmail, which basically necessitates using a mouse for some operations. But I imagine that will be remedied over time.

Some people asked me what the 5th dimension entailed and how Cooper was able to talk to himself in the tesseract. I'll explain the dimensionality below:

The zeroth dimension is a point .

The 1st dimension is a line __________

The 2nd dimension is a plane. Imagine a piece of paper

The 3rd dimension is a cube.

The 4th dimension is time. We perceive the 4th dimension in cross sections or frames. Imagine a movie reel. On the reel there are single images that project a movie when played together. The 4th dimension sees the entire movie all at once.

Now consider this, a line can connect two points. A plane can connect a line, a cube connects planes. The 4th dimension sees the cubes from all iterations of time. Or if the cube was a flower instead, it would see it from seed to flowering all at once. I dont really know what the 5th dimension entails but those beings can traverse time and space. Since a higher order being can move around in a lower dimension. (A line, a 1D object, connects points, which are in the zeroth dimension)

So this means that Cooper, as a 5D being in the can traverse time and space like was shown in the Tesseract scene. So essentially 5D beings "always exist" in time and have no birth or death.

While the theory sounds good, the Steambox never evolved to a list of supported configs. Valve stated that Nvidia, AMD, and Intel would all be supported and Valve displayed great hesitancy in providing any specifics. Rich's earlier post on the state of Graphics Drivers remains mostly valid.

In addition, the release of a few Linux games such as Civ5 & Borderlands, have provided sales figures to those companies on whether the investment was worthwhile.

Many companies considered Linux primarily because SteamBox was an interesting market. While some companies were taking a wait-and-see audience, the slow play of SteamBox only makes more people take a wait-and-see attitude.

The OpenGL mess of "4.4 is good enough", while both AMD & Intel failed to deliver good drivers, is further muddled by OpenGL Next. Basically, accepting the OpenGL API needs a re-write and will become more Mantle/Metal/DX12 like. So will Intel & AMD deliver good-enough 4.4 drivers, or do we all wait for OpenGL-Next. Don't forget that AMD just did a 7% layoff, limited resources.

Obama already has a legacy that we can talk about... Expanding a police surveillance state, and raining hell-fire down upon our "enemies" like no other president before him.
I second the question.

I have a bachelor of Software Engineering (certified Engineer) with First Class Honors, and I know I'm usually competing against people with a Comp Sci. degree, or even just a diploma. I think it's important to highlight my education, as it puts me a cut above.

Am I being a little stuck-up?
Not to be overly cynical, but now that he's a lame duck president without any support whatsoever from the legislative branch he can try to repair his legacy with grandiose speeches like this and blame the Republican dominated Senate/House for blocking all of the good he had planned for these last two years
> this is just a bad joke

Would you prefer Obama to call for a closed internet?

You are confusing different things. Just because someone might be wrong with a lot of things doesn't mean he's not allowed to be right with something else.

As other's said: The world wide wrongdoing by the secret agencies is no invention of Obama. Not even an invention of the US. I'm German and even the BND did whatever it could to gain for it's purpose useful information. They did under governments of all kind of political orientation.

And then you're confusing things again. The downvotes most likely come from your indifferentiated opinion about net neutrality and spying activities. Not from your dislike of Obama.

> I am not American (feel free to ignore my opinion)

Why did you post it?
I know nothing about politics, but my guess is that this is a reaction to the majority republican house/senate. There's no way in hell a bill like this can be passed through congress (with all the special interests and whatnot), so by being at the front of this movement which is important to so many people, they'll opt to blame the republicans (who are now in charge).

Should we really be hoping for Linux gaming? If anything, we should hope for non-windows gaming, if that is what we are after (saving on licenses etc). It feels like a lot of what's holding Linux gaming back is inherent to Linux (fragmentation for example), as well as layered security.

I'm no expert, and maybe it's been tried, but wouldn't it be easier to compete with windows using a platform with less security (faster driver model)? That is, a boot-to-gaming console OS for x86? It would run som form of modified Linux kernel or other free OS, but it wouldn't be "desktop Linux" with X11, kde/gnome etc. I still don't believe in seeing AAA titles all launch for Linux, at least not while hardware vendors struggle to keep drivers working on windows (and barely succeed).

I've looked at Mithril and I like a lot of the design decisions you've made. I'm just a little reluctant to invest in something so far out of the mainstream. Of course, when the mainstream changes every three months, maybe there's not so much value in following the herd after all?
While the opening was strong, I'm not sure this is a very good criterion. Certainly, it's asserted more than established in this article, and it seems like something we would be prone to over value - we expect and respond to narrative that real life often fails to provide.
Add my vote to this one.

Also, having more than 6 presets would be better. There's so many devices with different viewport sizes now. Chrome at least has a fairly deep list of devices you can test with their responsive tool. It would be nice to see a more robust list in the Developer Edition.
I agree it's a little specialized and likely quite pricy, but as a sometime roboticist this kind of innovation makes me hopeful. Fasteners and connectors are unsolved problems, and robotics is plagued with such issues. Even an expensive solution for a few critical points would be valuable. Loc-tite works OK most of the time, but the ideal is a nut that actually stays tight all by itself.

Interesting. I like the implication that content runtime is a cost not a benefit of courses. And the content is accessible as text and forward-skippable nicely. As someone who avoids youtube unless it's the only source of information on a subject, this is great.

The current debugger lists the current execution stack horizontally. This is bad UI because it's hard to follow. It is more convenient for short stack hops but for deep traversal, it is worse than Chrome's vertical stacking in a tree.

I think this is exactly the sort of position that leads to problems later when people find their implicit assumptions don't match with those of others.

I can write perfectly idiomatic code in Perl, using map, grep, simple postconditionals, taking advantage of built in functions that topicalize, knowledge of when items are passed by reference or copy (or a sort of alias), and the code will be very succinct and readable to Perl programmers. Should I forego some of that to make the code more readable to general programmers? Doing so will necessarily make the code slightly less readable to those expecting idiomatic Perl.

I'm not espousing one way over the other, just that it should be thought about with regard to the purpose of the code, who owns it, and who will be looking at it in the future. The exact answer may differ in different situations.

[Show / Ask HN] LoanCoin
Hi HN!

We’re (/u/panther2k and /u/michwill) working on a decentralized crowdlending network called LoanCoin:

- As a saver, you buy LoanCoin, a crytpoasset giving you a claim on a portfolio of loans. Interest and principal repaments are reinvested into new loans with the goal of generating consistent and stable increases in value.

- When you borrow money, you can collateralize your loan with digital assets (loancoin or bitcoin for now, more exotic smart property in the future). This collateral can be posted by you or co-signers (people or groups who trust you).

- Loan officers are individuals or groups responsible for finding borrowers and selecting who will receive loans from the capital pool. For fiat-denominated loans, they would also be responsible for exchanging BTC into the desired fiat.

- If a borrower does not have appropriate digital collateral, loan officers can either vouch/cosign for the borrower or take possession of physical collateral from said borrower and post digital collateral as a proxy.

- All economically relevant data (terms, interest rate, repayment schedule, etc.) is hashed and put on the blockchain for public review.

The goal is to make credit scalable without spending tons of money on “bank branches”. Anybody can be a “branch” and make money on it, without any one node having the ability to systematically defraud the system.

You can hear them today! http://www.rtl-sdr.com/receiving-dead-satellites-rtl-sdr/

tldr: satellites are retired by using up their fuel reserves in order to get them to burn out in atmosphere or "park" in a higher orbit. Some satellites have timers built in in case their receivers fail and do this automatically.

Essentially, when something goes wrong satellites stay in stable orbits as space junk, their batteries decay and become conductive so the sun starts powering directly when conditions are met, at this point we can catch telemetry from these space-age relics. Beyond cool.
