I run a design agency and generally only employ Juniors.

You're about right on salaries in the UK. Its a strange market here, its very hard to find good staff and generally companies want far too much experience for a Junior role.

We take on new recruits with little to no experience in the field and train them from 6-18 months. We've taken designers and turned them into very good ruby developers as well as no experience to full-stack devs.

It really depends on the company though, look for a company who is focused on training. The salary should also increase in 6 months at a minimum and there should be a clear path to earning a decent salary.

We start at around 16-18K and have reviews every 3 months. The goals are set by the employees (we track this using a free product we made called Meta Trails check it out!) and as long as they say they've hit there targets its a 20% raise. Heres what it looks like in real life:

Starting 18K

3 Months: 21.6K

6 Months: 26K

9 Months: 21K

12 Months: 37K

After a year we move to a normal review period of 1 year. The reason we do this is we put a lot of time / money into training and our results are fantastic. I'd like to see more companies hiring Jr developers.

We are actually looking for another developer to join the team drop me an email josh[at]seriousfox.co.uk

I actually gave up just a few weeks ago on Delicious (I have 15k+ bookmarks there, but it gets too slow too often) and moved to Pinboard.

Exporting from Delicious into Pinboard was done in a few minutes.

Pinboard is just like Delicious but faster and more responsive, I am willing to pay $10.61 for that.

And I actually paid for archive option not because I particularly need it but because I like the idea of supporting a lean one person operation.

Only thing Pinboard is missing(just like Delicious is missing) is quick filling in of suggested tags.

Also, for some reason Pinboard suggests IFTTT tag almost every time. I only use IFTTT sparingly.
Yes, I could have been more proactive. I made a lot of sacrifices in terms of not working out, overwork, stress,
etc., in the quest to get this startup going.
Interesting! Yes, that would help a lot, but I'm not sure how growing heaps will be modeled then (are they allocated block by block?) And how is a growing heap communicated in practice between threads? Is every read-operation to be guarded by a check if the corresponding block is available in the current thread?
Maybe the problem isn't that trucks are too slow, maybe the problem is that you're shipping too much crap, like JavaScript frameworks that reimplement loading a page. Oh the horror of letting the browser load pages!

The point is that the modern web is an abomination. The web isn't for applications, it's for documents, but web developers refuse to acknowledge this, so they do everything in their power to circumvent how the web works (or should work) to avoid making a native application.

The world would be much better served by plain, unrendered Markdown documents (or something similar) served statically by an FTP server and rendered appropriately by the client. No JavaScript, no CSS! Just a document. In cases where this is insufficient, build something appropriate to deal with it.
Glad you're OK!

Thank's for the advice! I'm fine with "sucking it up". I'm prepared to work for ~£15k for 12 months. It's enough to pay the bills (just) and if I received some quality mentoring / training and developed my skills then I'd consider it worthwhile.

Regarding your point 1), are you saying it's ok to apply for a job without having every skill on the "required" list? I feel like it could lead to a really awkward interview.
moving inline script and CSS into external files

By reducing the number of files that are referenced within a web page, you reduce the time required for these requests to be sent, and for their responses to be received.

Aren't these exact opposites of each other? I suppose which direction to take depends on the bottleneck - if request latency is high, it might be better to put everything inline, but if the bottleneck is parsing then separating things into external files could have the advantage.
Are there any symptoms that indicate that it's probably not a heart attack? I recently had "stabby" pains in my chest area and as I didn't know what it was went to urgently get checked out and it was basically muscle pain (chest wall pain they said, I think?) and said that intermittent very brief "stabby" pain in your chest wasn't the most usual symptom (But that getting it checked out was still a very good idea).

Is that correct?
I read it, and +1 because even though I don't agree with everything you say, at least it makes sense and presents arguments I can engage with. That's valuable.

I think a problem we have in the west (I'm a Brit) is that our generation has inherited a capitalist free market system under the rule of law, but we're treating it like a rich kid that doesn't value or truly understand our inheritance and doesn't manage it responsibly.

I don't think the situation is as bad as you say. But then my wife is Chinese and I have a good udnerstanding of how bad things can be. When people talk about the erosion of the rule of law and corporatist policies in the west I have a counter-example I can use for comparison and I see a much more nuanced picture in the west. Yes we do need to recalibrate our social contract, particularly in the US, but we do have the institutions and mechanisms available to do that. At least we are capable of having the debate here without getting censored or thrown in jail.

I am a 48-year-old T2 diabetic - I'm not grossly overweight and there is no family history of the disease; it is suspected I became T2 following a viral illness coupled with a highly stressful job.

I ended up in Accident and Emergency (UK) after developing what was thought to be a bad chest infection - I was coughing up bloody fluid from my lungs. After a some examination and an ECG, I was whisked into a ward and scheduled for a angiogram. A day or so later, right after the angiogram, I was told I had some damaged blood vessels around my heart and I had "probably" had "at least one" heart attack sometime in the past!

Every physician that did the rounds while I waited for a stent operation asked me whether I'd had any further chest or arm pains and I had to keep telling them that I'd never had any such pains - no 'classic' symptoms.

The upshot was that the heart damage was put down to a combination of diabetic-related complications, possibly not helped by one of the meds I had been taking.

3 years and 5 stents later (should have been 4, but one of the blood vessels tore during the procedure so I had to have an extra 'covered stent'!) and I am still up and about - albeit with some reduced heart function.

So, as robbiep commented - "'Typical' signs do not present in everyone: in particular diabetics are at increased risk of having 'silent' heart attacks"
It's kind of ironic that these are the same symptoms as stress related panic attacks.

> NO organization is suppose to have market power.

This is naive wishful thinking. It's popular to create simplistic models to explain basic economic principles, models that assume perfect markets. However, reality does not (have to) comply to such models.

Analytically, the principle of economies of scale (1) strongly favors, through market mechanisms, the development of large entities. A large corporation, dividing its marketing and R&D costs over a large market share, has significantly lower costs than upstart small competitors. This enables it to out compete smaller upstarts, and serves as a natural barrier of entry to a specific market. Upstarts are either relegated to a small niche, or, having stumbled upon an entirely new market with no dominant players yet, grow to be a large dominating player in their respective market.

Empirically, every single market is dominated by a handful of large actors. This pattern is observed in local markets, national markets and global markets. Quick example for the HN crowd, the cloud hosting market. Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Rackspace account for more than half the market share (2). In a young market, with little regulation, where a lot of people on this site have plenty of technological skills to engineer an IAAS service from scratch. But few have the business skill, capital and timing to actually enter the market successfully.

The premise underlying my post is the belief that all humans have equal moral value. I gather you don't hold this view and therefore will disagree.

However, if you favor some sort of protectionism, I'm curious why you think I should care about poor Americans. Supposing I were to give up humanism and revert to tribalism, as you seem to have done, why would I allow poor Americans into my tribe? Why not simply define my tribe as wealthy white males?

(I personally have practical reasons not to do this. A minority of my friends are American and a smaller minority of the Americans are white males. But those are just practicalities, not moralities.)

I'm also curious whether you favor imperialism. After all, if our goal is simply to maximize American utility, why not just pillage and plunder everyone else?
Why is that a bad thing?

For me at least, the goal is to have a free, usable, recognizable UX. Not to have a "brand". It's open source, it's not supposed to be invested in zero-value branding.

In the past 10-15 years open source software had to catch up with Windows applications, and when they did people would think the problem was in UX. Now that good UX is coming to OSS and we can finally catch up with Apple, you want to reject it?
One problem with this is that, I, as an individual suffering from anxiety, "regularly" suffer form chest pains.

This often spirals into the terrible cycle of anxiety -> chest pains -> anxiety about the chest pains being a heart attack.

I can only assume that the chest pains will be different and more severe if I should ever have a heart attack.

There have been studies that showed that the psychological problems that stem from being poor have little to do with your absolute wealth. It's more of a peer-thing. If you're the poorest man in a very rich peer-group you'll still feel miserable and less.

The problem then with being poor in America is not that you're rich compared to a farmer in vietnam, the problem is that you're poor compared to the people you see on your crappy TV.

To quote the report: "Mental health is also a key pathway through which inequality impacts on health. There is
overwhelming evidence that inequality is a key cause of stress in itself and also exacerbates the
stress of coping with material deprivation"[0]

I suspect that "worry about wasting other people's valuable time" is also part of it.
> While this is true, the evidence so far is that innovation (at least of the kind we have been engaging in) benefits the rich far more than the poor.

Oh yeah ? Do you ignore the fact that even in the poorest countries people have mobile phones and connect with online services though it ? This has completely changed how they network in the past 10 years. The West is not the only harbour where innovation stops.
> The 'typical' signs of a heart attack are chest pain usually described as dull, heavy or tight, with radiation to the arm(s) and neck. The patient often also complains of diaphoresis (sweating) , shortness of breath and perhaps weakness.

This is mostly for men, right? I've read previously that the symptoms for women are quite different.
One of the most common presentations for heart attack that turns out to not be heart attack is reflux. If it happens after a meal, and especially if it is relieved by antacid, it is unlikely to be a heart attack.

But then again, it could very well be.
Which is why you will never find a doctor who will say 'it's ok' from the history alone. They need a workup anyway... If there are no ECG or biochemical markers of heart attack and it responds to antacid in the emergency department then we can prescribe its use ongoing.

The other one that every medical student gets that convinced them that they are having a heart attack is muscular or rib pain, like which you describe. People present to hospital with it all the time but we usually quickly exclude it as a heart attack.

If you're concerned, always present.

Lessons Learned and Trends from the 2014 HBS Cyberposium
My own experience:

* Graduated in 2012 and took a job in the South East (not London) - £25,000

* Left after 18 months because high cost of living and salary increases were below inflation (small company with money problems). Moved to North West and took a job earning - £30,000

* Left that job and took a cut down to £27,000 because I wanted to work with rails and it's hard to find rails positions here in the North West

I could probably be earning more money but getting professional rails experience is higher on my list.

It's hard looking at US salaries and not seeing jobs offered anywhere near those rates here in the UK. I guess if you want to earn over £50k a year before you're 30 in the UK you have to be a contractor.
I don't think the healthiness of any specific industries (like banking and finance) has anything to do with capitalism. Just like, say, manufacturing CPUs has nothing to do with capitalism. If you have a bug in your manufacturing process then your company might go broke. Likewise, if there is a bug in your financial rules, financial institutions might break down. That has no bearing on the validity or invalidity of capitalism as a whole.
The video and article is full of hype, made me laugh however.
> Why should we care about people in India or China?

Replace "India or China" with "Black or Hispanic" to see how sad this comment is. It still surprises me to see that we live in a world where racism is condemned but discriminating people for the place they were born in is socially accepted.

Now, to answer your question, we should care about people in India or China because they're people. Human beings. The place they were born in, just like the color of their skin, should be an irrelevant factor. Something assigned to you randomly just before birth.

Nationalism sucks.

Maybe you can find some casual running groups in and around North Carolina? I attend one and we run every Wednesday and Saturday.

https://fixubuntu.com/
Literally yesterday I treated a patient who has had 4 presentations this year to emergency with chest pain that sounds cardiac enough, except it lasts for several hours sometimes and sometimes she can 'feel it coming on' and heD it off by relaxing.
Still, it could always be a heart attack and until a through work up is done to exclude it (acutely, ECG and troponins, as outpatient, stress test), it is worth investigating.

In her case the deeper I delved into her personal life the more it became apparent that this was a clear cut case of stress/anxiety related pain- that was having physical manifestations.

for her, we discussed exactly what you are describing: that anxiety leads to the pain, which then leads to fear about it being a heart attack, which worsens it etc. we went through the work up we had planned and after her second troponin was negative we sent her home to have an outpatient stress test to see if she may have some partial blockages.
If that is clear, we as medical personnel feel comfortable knowing that her episodes are non-cardiac in nature- and referral to psychologist for CBT (which she had previously undertaken to good effect) was recommended. I think she will do well, she appears willing to seek help.

I hope you are also seeking help for your anxiety, and that you have had at least one good work up for your chest pain to exclude a cardiac cause.
Good intentions, but content and video leaves much to be desired.

The idea is awesome tho, using lots of different tools which doesn't communicate/integrate with each other is a huge blow to productivity.
No. If the intent behind the source code you're actually looking at is not apparent, then realistically, looking at it's history is probably equally useless.

If there aren't tests or specifications to cover the code, I generally assume any bugs are because of a lack of understanding and proceed from there.

Scrolling backwards through history and looking at progressively more naive or prototypical implementations isn't going to tell me anything except the code was likely underspecified IME.

Comments are infrequent, but when I write them, they're usually to try to clarify particularly complex implementation detail. Not to communicate requirements. Comments aren't the ideal place for that IMO.
Also, 2 hours a week is nothing in the grand scheme of things. If you have to commute, try commuting by bicycle or if you go by train, get off at an earlier station. I'm not sure what your commute is like in the USA (I suspect most people drive to work), but a lot of people in Europe get trains and buses - which does make that latter idea a bit easier.
How, about detecting one of the side effects of a heart attack? You can then evaluate if you have a problem by any of the other symptoms. If I'm experiencing chest pain and my smart watches is indicating that my heart rate is irregular, for example, maybe I shouldn't be ignoring this.
Yeah...we'll see. If the current state of Firefox's Dev Tools is any indicator of what they have to show, I'm not optimistic.
I have developed an application that allows accessing git repositories on iPhone or iPad.

On its own it can browse your files, make edits, commit these edits and push the commits back to your remote to take full part in a git work-flow.

But the interesting part is iOS 8 advancements such that other apps will be able to open and edit files from your repositories. I hope that git support combined with specialised editing apps (made by other people) will open up what kind of work can be accomplished on iOS.
