I interviewed at Amazon 2 years ago and they wanted to do a real time coding session, but had no way of easily sharing code. I said I'd just post it in a GitHub Gist and read out the URL and he was dumbfounded and had never heard of this before. So yeah, _lots_ of developers don't have GitHub profiles or even know what it is.
I tend to agree that a lot of the hate on resumes seems to be missing the point. Sure, if I know or know of someone, maybe a resume doesn't add a whole lot. But they provide:
- A first pass at there being some match between experience/background and those needed for the position.
- Some guidance for the interview process. Frankly, a lot of the details on the resume don't really matter all that much to me but, overall, it usually gives me a sense of which avenues are worth probing in more detail and which ones I can skip over fairly quickly. Sure, I could draw a lot of this out during the interview but it's easier to read over a couple of pages in advance and spend a few minutes thinking about how to spend the interview slot.
What's the offer of this site over say, CSGOLounge? They bet based on in-game currency-like items so I'm assuming you're targeting the real cash market?

Most programs that manage clientelle charge the owner based on membership capacity and additional features from the base version. Looks like you are just beginning, I'm sure you will have opportunity to enhance features and make it more desirable.

Secondary revenue could come from advertising to the clientele (when the access the site for ??) based on the membership base (country club, good place for real estate and auto dealership ads, etc.) but I would think you would have to cut the membership owner into ad revenue (maybe reduced usage cost?). There's potential.

I think the OP is correct that few developers are on there, but among the crowd this site is likely to want to attract, most are.

That said, 99% of my contributions are in private repos, so my profile won't tell you a lot.
>it's still bound to a surface, and effectively just a 2D monochrome image presented with pressure instead of light.

I don't follow you. inFORM looks like a heightmap, yes, but this claims to be a volumetric shape.
I almost spit out my coffee when the OP stated "for free", as if not having to pay anything but time, my most valuable asset, was some perk.

I'm sure the OP means well, and it may have been a success for them, but I don't know anyone in my circle who would participate in something like this, unless they were utterly desperate for a job. I thought there was a serious talent crunch? Who is courting whom?

I wonder what sort of engineers self-select in a process like this?
I think this an interesting topic to put on the table. In EU, the power is split between the governments and the banks, so, enterprises from other sectors has not very much influence on decision-making at this level as they have in the US. In my opinion, the definition of monopoly is "wrong market situation", thus, I'd change the modal verb for "must" and I'd remove the question mark.

The intriguing question here is why a business magazine is raising this concern and why EU is quiet while they fined Microsoft over and over. Is Google lobbying better?
I would rather see that people are prevented from participating when they have nothing very insightful to say. This policy prevented me from posting some stupid comments and I think this made HN better. You should stop and think before submitting your comment. Otherwise HN will change into another slashdot where stupid uninformed comments are rampant. If there are no repercussions to people who don't think before posting, there will be more people, who don't think before posting ;).

I like the idea, however, I am still hesitant to bet on eSports especially given the recent cheating scandal in games like CS:GO.

We live in a vacuum here on HN. Most developers are not us.
I don't think it's as black and white as all that. This reads like the equivalent claim the NSA makes along the lines of, "if you have nothing to hide, why can't we record every facet of every communication and store it forever?" Business relationships run on trust. Claiming your software is secure when it is to the best of your knowledge is not dishonest.
If I glossed over that correctly, it seems more like a "Bank tax rule tightening", they estimate 5B over 5 years, 4 of which come from changing/tightening banking regulations and 1B (over 5 years) of which comes from mutlinationals operating in the UK. Not sure if that's ~200M a year or if there's some front/back loading and I really have no clue as to UK revenue/profits for all multinationals combined but (fuzzy math) is 200M a year for all of them a significant change? Does this only target companies of a certain size/category?
I have a Github and I actually have a few public projects but the vast amount of my work is private.

Funny thing is that even if you create side-projects it's unlikely that you'll actually want to make them public. For example, say you want to create a Saas or bootstrap a small startup. The idea of putting all of your execution online for all to see (or borrow) is super scary.

For me it's about potential upside. If I take time off work to work on my own projects and I expend 10 hours a day in creating them, am I doing this in order to lock down a better job in a couple of months, or am I doing this because I would like to some day have personally crafted something which creates value for others and allows me to live freely?

I think you'd have to be crazy to want to put huge projects online for all to see (particularly as they can often require stigmatising relaxation of processes which don't make as much sense as an individual in order to be able to handle the workload as a sole engineer.)

Of course there are those that like to build development tools and libraries for other engineers. That's a priesthood I've not really entered properly - it's hard to create something which isn't just yet another me-too framework, but very respectable if you are able to do this (top ~1%).

It is very hard to imagine a self-sustaining Mars colony. You face two huge hurdles: a very thin atmosphere (average surface pressure 0.6% of Earth's) and low gravity, which sounds great until you consider the correlated long-term health problems.

Even if we could somehow import massive amounts of air and water to Mars, it would rapidly evaporate away and be lost to space. We may be able to establish science stations on Mars in some kind of pressurized air-tight dome habitats, but colonization, particularly independent colonization, is practically inconceivable for the foreseeable future. Mars is simply not suited at all to human life, and the problems with Mars are not something that can be fixed with any terraforming that doesn't involve somehow adding 2/3rds of Earth's mass to the planet and somehow recreating a magnetosphere.

Photos can strongly suggest things like race and gender, but those and other prohibited axes for discrimination by most employers can also be strongly suggested b names, names of schools, names of particular awards/achievements, and names of past employers and jobs (particularly, e.g., when those employers are the kind that are permitted certain forms of discrimination that is generally prohibited.) Further, photos don't provide indication of anything that the prospective employer wouldn't get from an in person interview, which is a common step in the hiring process.
A friend of mine made it through the initial interview stages at SoundCloud. He was then given three days to build an iOS app using the SoundCloud API that showed off his experience and skill. I like that approach because three days is a nice length of time to build something you can be proud of. He was interviewing for the iOS team, of course.
It seems incredibly arrogant and short-sited to assume that humans would be able to somehow survive outside of their original environment. There isn't a grocery list of things we need to bring into space or to another planet. Everything on this planet is interrelated and inseparable in largely unknown ways.
The rule of thumb that most people stick with when doing OOP is duplicate code is bad.

The goal is to find data that needs to be grouped, and group it. Find functions that only use that grouped data, and stick them in classes.

For example a query can be an object. I.E.: A database connection (in java)

public class DBconnect
{
private connection Con = null;

public DBconnect(String Ip, int port)
{
this.connection = mkConnection(ip, port);
}

public Object query(String query)
{
return this.connection.ExecQuery(query);
}
}

Then you query specific pre-processing code can be added directly into the query.

public String query(String query, String regex)
{
return this.connection.ExecQuery(query).replaceAll(regex, "");
}

Which results in code like

DBConnect db = new DBConnect(127.0.0.1, 150);
String[] quereies = { "yada", "yada", yada"};
for(String str: queries)
{
String result = db.query(str, "\\s+");
doDataScience(result);
}

I don't know if this helps. But its a suggestion.

P.S.: I've been spending my free nights the past 2 weeks trying to throw together a javascript based data processing engine in java. It should be mostly workable by the weekend. I could throw it on a ShowHN if you'd be interested.

It was fan service. I think it pleased all the backers. As a standalone, it was not a great movie, but I don't think it was supposed to be.
For example, you'd need to run this test with music, not simple sounds. So the question is, which music? I think whatever is most popular at the time would be a good candidate

A quick summary would be that most "popular" music has been mastered with the following goal: the song should be recognizable and listenable on a FM-radio with only a limited bandwidth midrange-speaker. One of the many things they do to achieve this is by eliminated almost all dynamic range through a process called "compression" (dynamic compression, not digital-compression).

They also limit the spectral range to not have "unheard" sounds cause distortion when played through limited bandwidth amplifiers and speakers.

This means that the kinds of musical pieces which could benefit from the increased dynamic range of 24-bit would be thoroughly excluded from the test.

And then you'd probably get the "expected" result, but only because you now test whether music mastered specifically not to have dynamic range benefits from having increased dynamic range. For which the answer is given.

Note: I'm not claiming 24-bit end-user audio has merits, of which I have little opinion. I'm just pointing out the flaw in the proposed experiment.

If you feed 24-bit input to headphones, there's no guarantee that the speakers are performing with 24-bit resolution.

Not sure if you're just imprecise in your language here or if you're genuinely confusing things. Speaker-elements, as found in both speakers and headphones are analogue. They operate according to the law of physics, and respond to changes in magnetic fields, for which there is practically no lower limit.

They have no digital resolution. A quick example: Take your 16-bit music, halve the volume and voila! You are now operating at "17-bit resolution". Halve it again. 18-bit resolution. Etc.

There's probably some minimum levels of accuracy, yes, but it just doesn't make sense to measure it in bits.

If you're aware of this and were just trying to adjust the language to the problem at hand, I'm sorry for being patronizing, but I just wanted to make sure we keep things factual here.
As far as I can tell, they shift profits overseas by shifting extra, semi-fictional 'costs' to the UK subsidiary - for example, if the UK subsidiary of Starbucks makes $100m profit, but has to pay the Canary Isles subsidiary $100m in licensing costs, suddenly the UK subsidiary owes no tax.

Given this structure, how does the HMRC plan on distinguishing between legitimate costs and semi-fictional ones? I imagine as soon as the law is changed, the companies will alter their books so that they shift all their 'legitimate costs' to the UK subsidiary.

I suspect that this shift will end up benefitting tax accountants and lawyers.
There's no censorship laws about burning the Union flag in a public place.

The problem is that you assume that everyone wants to make a business from book writing. Most technical authors don't want the trouble of book production and sales because they already have a good paying job. They are just interested in having their names in the cover of a book. For this purpose, publishers do a reasonably good job -- certainly better than having to do all by yourself and end up with a low-quality, low-selling "book" in the Kindle store.

I work for a megacorp. I have a few unfinished personal projects on github but everything else if confidential. You're not going to find out much about me based on my github account. However, it seems to be a requirement for a lot of jobs these days, especially in startup landia. So if you can't share things you do at work then you have to spend all your free time doing OSS or side projects that you can share on github or no one believes you can actually do what you say you can.
Koajs Quickstart [screencast]
Something here I don't understand. First, the terms state that there are two kinds of governing laws: One for those using the service outside the US, and one for those from the US. This is the first time I see a supposedly non-US company applying two different laws. Also, if you go through the terms, you see that basically any legal aspect is governed by the County of San Francisco, California. Why not Switzerland where the company was supposedly formed and is located in?

Second, as of right now, there is no mentioning of a "Wire Swiss GmbH" in the Swiss commercial registry. That's quite severe because under Swiss law, you are not allowed to represent to the outside a juristic person as long as it is not in the official registry.

Here is the link to the registry:

Perhaps I should read things twice!
Given the tax accountants and lawyers help draft these laws, there is every reason to be suspicious of that!

Its a bit pedantic but if your "hiring manager"* doesn't know Red Hat from Linux you don't want to work there.

If a recruiter or HR rep doesn't know Red Hat from Linux they need to find another field to recruit in.

(a hiring manager is usually the person a new hire directly reports to, not the person doing initial resume screening)
I agree with everything you said, except for the last few sentences about ISIS. The creation of a "moral enemy" in the middle east was an explicitly acknowledged goal of the neo-conservative wing of the Bush administration, and took some 14 years to accomplish. I strongly suggest watching the BBC's documentary "The Power Of Nightmares" as a good introductory source.
The Firefly series got enough support (in the form of written letters - this was pre-kickstarter) to be made into movie after a comically botched distribution through normal channels (The first seasons episodes were aired out of order in random time slots on Fox. It never had a weekly time that was consistent. This was the only season, natch.)

Family Guy also had a similar fate, but not because of a botched launch, but because its audience existed, but did not consume television through mainstream sources. It was canceled after 2.5 seasons and then went on to become the best selling animated DVD series. Fox brought it back the next year.
One of the main contributors here. Angular-Gantt is an open source gantt chart component, based on AngularJS. With it, you can implement all sorts of resource management, planning or scheduling apps.

We still have a lot of ideas and improvements to implement, and therefore are actively looking for contributors. If you want to help with code, testing or ideas and suggestions, then please visit our Github page or post a comment :)
> I think the first step to finding a lifeboat is to start researching on space shuttles speeds (faster than light), wormholes, teleportation etc. As far-fetched as these may seem, its unlikely that with sufficient time and investment neither one of these alternatives will be successful.

FTL travel is completely unnecessary for interstellar travel, thanks to relativity. If you're traveling 1000 light years at 0.99999999999999999c, you will get there very nearly instantly. Of course, you've basically taken a one way ticket - if you turn back around, 2000 years will have passed back home even though you're only a few seconds older.

Of course, 0.99999999999999999c is itself no mean feat (to say the least - the energy costs for even 0.5c would be incredible), but there's nothing about it that violates the laws of physics.

Exactly, like bacteria in our guts that gets replenished by consuming foods grown in Earth soil. On Mars this stuff will die out right away, and to replicate it you will need to create another Earth.Gut bacteria is just a tiny example, there is other stuff like bone problems, vision problems, etc. I am appalled that instead of fixing mess here on earth, the only known planet to support life, we waste brains, time and resources on these idiotic fantasies simply because Sagan and deGrasse Tyson are charismatic dudes who can sell a turd if they wanted to to their fan base.
This is actually becoming my chief complaint about submissions. It appears to me as if folks now believe that it's cool to submit links which resolve as deeply and closely as possible to subject (in this case a the subdirectory inside the project's repo) with total disregard to the fact that there is insufficient (or no) information describing why we should be interested in the link or what, if anything, we should discuss.

I'm willing to bet the submitter went through a series of links beginning with some sort of announcement that something changed to get to the link they submitted. Why do folks think that we would not also benefit from that information or that it would not help to foster more interesting discussion?
Maybe so, but near-zero is not zero, especially when you have to offer support for a commercial product.

I recently added recaptcha to a site and got this version.

From an implementation standpoint it is utterly painless. The client side is copy/paste from Google's site and the PHP/server side was this:

$recapchaURL = 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify?secret=600SZZ0ZZZZZIZi-ZZ0ZEHZW1000Z_0ZZZ00QZZ&response=' . request_var('g-recaptcha-response','') .'&remoteip=' . $request->server('REMOTE_ADDR');
$recapchaRespone = file_get_contents($recapchaURL);
if(is_null($recapchaRespone))
{
print("Recaptcha failed. <more error msg>"); return;
}
$recapchaResponeJSON = json_decode($recapchaRespone);
if(!( !is_null($recapchaResponeJSON->{'success'}) && $recapchaResponeJSON->{'success'} == 'true'))
{
print("Recaptcha failed. <more error msg>"); return;
}

Most of the time it just gives you that one checkbox, but if you use the form multiple times (e.g. testing) it starts to give you the classical text entry box. I have no idea how it works fully and this article only sheds little light on it.

If I had only seen that video, I would think this was an April Fool's joke. I then read the article and was relieved to hear there is a little more than this. Perhaps I'm just being pessimistic, but I feel like this only raises the bar a little. I would expect checks it does of mouse movements or headers to be spoofable quite quickly after introduction. I think the best measure mentioned is tracking which IPs are bots, but that's still going to have serious shortcomings.
The old recaptcha takes good sites and gives them terrible user experience. I tried to order tickets one time on ticketmaster and actually gave up because I couldn't get past the captcha. I hate current captchas with a passion and I hope they finally die. I understand fighting spam but when it completely ruins a user experience it's not worth it.

edit: Bury me with no explanation why? Please don't tell me you think the UX of using recaptcha is great. I'm a 28 year old dev with near perfect eyesight and It takes me several tries to get these right. They are horrible. I welcome this new change and hope it isn't easily cracked.
It's horrifying how you think government regulators are inherently smarter and more knowledgable than ordinary customers, who you apparently think are idiots.
