And yet, if you've ever seen the charges the feds put against people it's not out of line. Lets say you commit one drug felony (transportation for example). Lets say you drive within 1000 feet of 3 schools and pass by a school bus going from point A to point B. Now you have 5 felony charges. What's worse is they will lie to you about the charges, for example if school zone violations are only an enhancement charge, they will put it as a separate charge forcing your lawyer to sift through the paperwork and find faults with them (agents don't get penalized for improper paperwork).

Ask HN: Do your companies reply to rejected candidates?
I'm applying for software engineering positions right now and in the past month or so have interviewed with many companies, from small startups to massive MNCs.

One surprising aspect has been that some companies' recruiting departments have been non-communicative after the interview. Like, no reply, even after I've sent a reminder/check-up email (I'll wait a bit more than a week before sending such an email).

What's going on here? Is it actually a thing for companies to not reply to rejected candidates? That seems really rude. Again, I'm not talking about cases where I blindly sent in a resume; this is after one or more technical rounds.

Maybe candidates just slip through the cracks? Still, it seems bizarre that a recruiter wouldn't take 10 seconds to send a generic rejection email after their engineers have taken multiple hours of their time to interview me.

To be clear: I'm not trying to complain (too much); my job search has been successful. I'm just trying to figure out if this is standard practice, what it means, and how to react in the future when it happens.
Regarding the font rendering on CentOS, at least on recent versions of Fedora, I have been able to just run fedy and let it do its magic. The result is very nice and this was an area that bothered me a lot. So I would give Fedora 21 Workstation a try (with aim to keep in RH ecosystem, if you've got CentOS on the servers). This comment is completely biased, be warned.
Seems fairly mutual then.

I believe the tone of the message is to take the onus to the developer - if they had more time, or if your browser respected standards moar, you would be able to visit the website without caring about which browser you use.

Front-end development, with the variety of form factors and browsers can be a thankless task which not many people respect - I think their message could be far worse personally.
The Power of Open Source for a Learner
There are always exceptions to the rule. But for a majority of ordinary people, I agree with you. However, thinking this way can be a huge limiting factor.
Exactly. Think of this search query you could do:

source:your-app AND http_status_code:>=500

This would give you a list of all HTTP 500s of "your-app".

Or:

user_id:12346 AND http_status_code:>=500

... to see all errors a user caused after customer care called you, reporting an error the user got. Stacktrace is there immediately without having to find the right log file on the right web server.

You're taking "isn't a thing" too literally. Yes, design languages are things. But material design is not a complete school of thought. It's one company's design language. Other companies are going to want their own design language, to distinguish themselves from their competitors. They can take inspiration from material design, but whatever you make can't be called material design. Google defines what material design is, and only they can put the material design stamp on something.

And even though material design adds some depth, it's still pretty flat. Sure, cards and panels have a slight drop shadow behind them, but buttons still lack any bevel or border. This isn't much different from current flat designs. Many of them include depth in select places.
Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr is where you want to be. It Just Works, plus there's a huge and awesome community to help out if you have questions. I haven't tried the derivatives, like Mint or Elementary, but I've heard good things. Note that even though Ubuntu is based on Debian, you do not want Debian... It's release cycle is a lot slower, the UI is much less polished, and you'll be stuck with versions of software that are really really out of date.

A note on the name and version - 14.04 means released in April 2014, and the names go up alphabetically per release (T U V etc).
Yes! Let me know if we can help with any questions.

What if the whole deal behind all of this media stuff is just that mainstream journalists have figured out that iOS requires software engineers, and hardware engineers, but they can't wrap their head around the idea that iOS also requires battery engineers?

I'm not saying Apple isn't making a car. I'm not saying it wouldn't be cool if they were. I'm just saying that if you're at all familiar with the history of how the media has always interacted with Apple - if you read Daring Fireball, for instance - then something that mind-bogglingly stupid might actually seem completely typical, in context.

I'm a big fan of XFCE for your DE/WM. It allows you to set loads of keyboard shortcuts for various WM activities like launching programs, switching workspaces, moving/resizing windows. As far as non-WM activities, look elsewhere in this thread for program recommendations.

The only Linux distro I can stand is Arch Linux. It will require you to become a sysadmin (comfortable with a shell, editing a few config files here and there, and following instructions from the wiki), but you sound comfortable with that. Arch will never break beyond recovery for you. It's a very simple distro that doesn't try to "do everything" on your behalf. Other distros like Ubuntu, Mint, and Fedora all seem to have a significant chance of self-destructing when I update them. Arch just keeps working. I've been using it exclusively for over 7 years.

I've purchased two post-acquisition Lenovos. A Thinkpad X1 Carbon first gen and, when it was stolen, a second gen. Both are truly excellent laptops, perfectly on par with the Thinkpad R40 and the X61t I had before.

The second gen X1 Carbon has two "innovations" I could live without. A clickpad and an LCD serving as function row keys. I must not be alone in my woes, as the third gen X1 Carbon reverted the change and has normal trackpad buttons and real function keys.

Other than that, the same quality Thinkpad build. It's not a war tank as the R40 was but, then again, it does not have the weight constraints that allow for a rollcage.

I know it is fashionable to say Lenovo fumbled the Thinkpad brand but, at least in the top of the line products, this isn't true. Of course, this is anecdotal, based on my company's purchases and nothing else. If you listen in forums, the landscape is much as the one here on HN (even if 90% of those who speak never bought a "chinese" Thinkpad)
The problem in Lenovo's situation is, calling it incompetence is the real stretch. You could call Charles Manson incompetent saying he just didn't know what he was doing was wrong, but everyone knows he was just evil.

Never falsely attribute to incompetence what is actually ascribable to malice. You can't come in here with a straight face and say that no one at Lenovo considered the security risk of including this software. If it was considered and they pushed ahead with it anyway, that's malice.
when it comes to problem-solving in software development, I tend to regard my subconscious as a black-box object with a fuzzy help me! method I can call. If I have a coding problem I'm not sure how to solve, I go for a brisk walk and let my mind wander. By the time I'm done, I've got the answer. If it's a tougher problem, I might need to go home and get a good night's sleep. Then I usually wake up with the answer fully-formed in my head. I give a silent moment of thanks for "the boys downstairs" and go about my day.

You can even change the unconfigurable lxterminal from lubuntu to use OS X keybindings. Run apt-get source lxterminal. Then change the bindings in src/lxterminal.h (change <CTRL><SHIFT>C to <ALT>C and the same change for V, for paste). Then run apt-source --commit to commit your change locally and finally dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc to build your modified lxterminal.

Edit. And change other keybindings in .config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml. For instance change keybind key="C-Left" for GoToDesktop left to get the same binding as in OS X.

I find that whatever music I use for working out works best. I guess there's some link in my brain - the meditative state you get into when you exercise where it's just you, the pain and the music puts your brain into a highly focused state. I discovered that after a while of doing this, whenever I listen to my exercise playlist, it puts me into that same focused state regardless of whether I'm exercising... and I now use the same playlist for highly focused/fast pace programming. Of course it helps to maintain the link between that kind of music and focus if you regularly use it for exercise.

YMMV

Otherwise di.fm long mixes usually hit the spot.

Something else that also works well for me (but not everytime) is long playlists of conference talks, fullscreen on the second screen (usually the ~25 minutes ones work best because it's in-depth enough to be interesting, but not long enough it gets boring, plus if my curiosity gets tickled to look deeper into a topic, I can pause the video to dig deeper before continuing).

I tend to mix both [and it lets me re-use the in-ear headphones that only have one side working anymore]: left ear on talks, right ear on music :)

If you have a look at the scene (with Inspect Element), it's actually pretty simple. It's six walls (each an image), and each of the four sides also has another 5 walls behind it (each also an image) with a statue (image).

That, combined with how CSS 3D transforms let you describe 3D graphics in a declarative way (there's an image at some position with some rotation), rather than in an imperative way (bind the buffer, link the shader, do the 3D rendering dance, draw this thing at some position I bound and some rotation I chose, etc.), allows it to be very small.

As always, while declarative programming doesn't lead to brilliant performance, it produces much nicer code and it's much easier to write.
I looked around a little bit on the web page but the answer to my two questions was not immediately apparent to me. (Note: I might just be blind)
1. Can I set up a second Graylog Server as a failover with automated recovery and log syncing when both nodes come back up?
2. Can I run it on any cheap cheap embedded platforms like a raspberry pi or beagleboard?

That's pretty harsh and also ignores how Apple creates its products. It didn't just see that everyone was doing smart watches and decided to hop on the band wagon like Samsung or LG. They have been building and designing a product they thought would actually do well in the market. They do purposefully try to become the first to announce just because they can.

The iPad was considered a flop by every news outlet when it was announced. Mocked openly about how stupid it was and how no one would buy it.

They aren't producing as many "market breaking" products, but I am sure they are working on them. Apple needs to be careful to release products that do very well, as sales that would be excellent for most any other company are considered a failure for Apple.

That's not at all to say they haven't been leaving behind a lot of old products. I will be very happy if IOS 9 is focused on debugging the software and improving the overall experience. I just hope the next os x will be doing that as well.
As a side note, I could never bring myself to like Ubuntu's default font. To my eyes it always looked nothing short of hideous, I wonder if I'm the only one.

That link is a "worst of" for Stack Exchange. Most of the answers there are from people who admittedly didn't read the book, and are really bad.

If you read the book, the source of the "3 felonies a day" claim, is mostly related to the "honest services" laws, which were narrowed in scope somewhat by the Supreme Court after the book was published. If a prosecutor were to very liberally apply the "honest services" law, typical white lies like calling in sick to work when you're not sick or screwing around on the internet can be elevated to felony status.

Another key area supporting the claim is that participating in a transaction where a foreign law was broken is also a felony. I believe the (absurd/bizarre) prototype for this was somebody charged with a felony for possessing warm-water lobsters that were inappropriately packages according to the law of some central american country. (I believe they were in wax paper instead of plastic)

The point was that ordinary people in the ordinary course of business and life can be subject to extraordinary punishments for vaguely defined crime. That means that you're freedom is subject to the whims of an all-powerful prosecutor, which is contrary to generally accepted notions of justice and democracy.
> I "think" by largely shutting off higher rational thought, and just let a problem freewheel through my mind. Either an answer comes pretty much instantaneously, or it doesn't at all.

I have gone out of my way to find ways to 'step out of the way' of my subconscious for many years. For me, big, non-trivial answers don't come quickly or in full. As ideas, thoughts and proto-answers surface, I let them 'float' for a minute, and then let them sink back below the surface for a while longer.

In the end, I have 'in hand' a nice tidy pile of possible answers/directions, which I can then apply rational thought to in order to select one or more as the concrete course/courses of action.
It still strikes me how Google Apps users, who actually pay for GMail & Co., are always the last ones to get the new stuff.
Excellent point about the importance of batteries, especially re robots. If Apple's building a car, what that really means is that they're building a robot.

Cars are currently sized for human occupants. A robot car could be almost any size. In the first Star Wars, there's a tiny robot car which scuttles around the Death Star. The future probably holds millions of those things.

Technically, this is a robot car:

Browser plugins are easy to wipe out. When dealing with a rather persistent malware a few months ago, it had inserted a legacy policy for a proxy in the Windows registry in a place not commonly checked by malware scanners. You turn off the proxy settings, but at every reboot it would come back and nothing seemed to catch it at the time. Malware can inject things in to the local group policy and other places that are not commonly checked, such as the root cert store, making them very likely to be missed by tech support.
I've visited the site and read what I could before, but without knowing what it does, it was pretty cumbersome to read through the entire website to figure out what exactly it does.

I was initially drawn to the fact that it took five and a half years to get to 1.0. God knows how hard it must've been to work on it to perfect it all these years, heck spending five months on an app is tough enough. I would've given up reading about it otherwise if it hadn't been for the five years thing. I just think that, despite all it's capable of, if the descriptions were more in layman's terms it could reach wider audience.

It actually turns out that this is exactly what I was looking for since I'm about to have my app out, and if I hadn't asked the question, I would've just ignored it all together.

While I'm very thankful for the additional explanations, I still think that nice illustration or a simple video of telling how it can solve real world problems will help people understand it better.

Oh man I hate keyboards like that. If the keyboard is causing me to hit wrong keys, it's the keyboard that's wrong.
I used to feel the same until I remapped CapsLock to Insert on a MacBook running Linux so I could regain the ability to paste with Shift-Insert. After that I realized that none of my other keyboards had Insert in the same location, so having a non-standard keyboard wasn't unique to Apple. Now I try to remap certain keys on all my machines to the smallest set they share in common, so I can take my muscle memory with me.

I attended a school (relatively) nearby in the 1970s. We took many field trips out to Arcosanti, which was under construction. Were told, "When you grow up, you'll live somewhere like this!"

When I visited as an adult, I noticed Arcosanti seemed like an offshoot of environmental architecture, rather than an influence: for instance, I was surprised they didn't have graywater recycling out there on the mesa. It'd be interesting to see some of Soleri's concepts expressed with an urban infill project.

Of course, the interesting question will be how fast will the majority of users, and servers, be running 2.0?
