The last point ties in with the pg essay "What doesn't seem like work": http://paulgraham.com/work.html

Following your "passion" is dumb, find something that you think is okay that other people find unpleasant.
> The problem is when you want to use some action which isn't one of the 2 or 3 that they've put at the forefront.

Agreed on that point. The Office team made a wonderful job at this, by also putting actions in the title bar (e.g. by default: save, undo, redo), but making it configurable. However, MS has orders of magnitude more dollars to develop/support/bugfix the added complexity, and given the hate of GNOME committers regarding anything configurable, I doubt that will ever happen in GNOME.

I'm not bothered by it because, like others here, I use keyboard shortcuts for 99% of my actions and never need to reach for buttons or the sandwich menu, but I understand why I'd be bothered too if it wasn't the case.
Since you seem to care about good Javascript practices given you're linting your code, I'm going to point out that all your modules are exposed in the global scope, which isn't the best practice. I'll suggest using something like browserify (as opposed to require.js due to the smaller overhead) to "require" smaller modules within closures to expose one final Timesheet constructor.

Since you seem pretty well acquainted with HFT, I'm curious about how much of a constraint capacity is? From what I understand the amount earned per trade is very small (this paper[1] suggests $1.45 per $10,000 traded). And since HFT is already a large fraction of the daily volume it seems that the natural way to increase profit (i.e. just trade more) isn't an option in most cases.

@ganarajpr I would love this product! Are you thinking about building it?
RINSE - www.rinse.com - Design District, San Francisco, CA

Rinse is a technology-enabled dry cleaning and laundry delivery service. We've been growing our service at an exponential rate for the past year, and our customers love us! We have a number of open positions, and have hired a significant portion of our team via Hacker News.

Rinse is hiring Software Engineers to develop our functionality across the stack. We have hybrid mobile apps for both Android and iOS for our customers AND our drivers. We also have sophisticated web-based tools for our customer service team, internal operations staff, and vendors. Laundry is a surprisingly-complex logistical process, and so our customer-facing software is just the tip of the iceberg. We're solving problems like the Traveling Salesman and image classification, too. Our tech stack is approximately HTML5 / Backbone.js / Django / Python / Postgres / Heroku / Ubuntu, but we're a tiny tech team, so any newcomer will be able to shape architecture.

We're also hiring for a "Special Operations Associate" which is someone who may not have unique technical ability, but who has great aptitude and a willingness to work hard to improve our business. Analytical capability and attention to detail are important skills for this person. Bonus points for someone with an Industrial Engineering or Process Engineering background. This position is great for an ambitious hustler looking to join a "rocket ship" startup. Obviously, this position presents a significant growth opportunity.

Any applicant who we interview will receive $25 in free Rinse credit... If you live in San Francisco, give us a try!

Interested? I'd be happy to answer any questions at sam (at) rinse.com.
The first time I saw Aliens, I was on acid, and to me, in that state of mind, it seemed like the best movie ever created.

I remember sweating a lot watching it, and all the meta-references that psychedelics enhance seemed to work perfectly within the framework of this story and show.

More to the authors point, I have two grown sons and a 13yo daughter, and always, the best way for me to relive my (often misspent) youth is with and through them, by sharing the same or very similar experiences.
We can only see the effect of race on admission at a very coarse resolution, because universities try their hardest to obscure it

I agree, that we can only see the effects at a coarse resolution, but disagree that universities try to "obscure" that effect. I think the reason for the coarse resolution is that there isn't a simple formula for each individual student. Admissions officials look at each application and weigh factors depending on each student's particular circumstances. This would be consistent with another post in this topic about so many Asian applications being similar (assuming the post was true) which would make it harder to tease out unique factors (I'm speculating here).

they show very large group differences on all the characteristics that the universities will admit they're looking for.

I don't agree with this at all, especially looking at all U.S. universities in aggregate. There are a lot of universities that look for different aspects rather than pure academics, and look to serve different audiences (HBCU's being the obvious example). Can you give an example of a college or university that claims to
look for a particular set of characteristics but has a student body that conflict with those characteristics?

Although minority enrollment in the UC system dropped after Prop 209, we still see these large differences.

California has a population that is (as of 2011) 40% white, 7% black, 14% Asian and 38% Latino. [0]

The U.C. System (undergrad) is currently 30% white, 4% black, 34% Asian and 18% Latino. [1]

Are the "large differences" you're referencing referring to the overrepresentation of Asians and underrepresentation of everyone else?

[0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_California#Raci...

[1] http://www.cpec.ca.gov/StudentData/StudentSnapshot.ASP?DataR...

We fail to observe significant differences among the racial groups at CalTech.

CalTech (undergrad enrollment) is 2% black, 30% white, 42% black and 10% Latino.[2] That's a lot closer to the UC system than to CA's population.

I will never ever read web without it
There is just way more money in the business than in the 80s and the internet and smartphones made using a computer way more mainstream.
Here's a thought experiment. You are a college admission counselor. You have room to accept 50 people.

You get 500 Asian American applicants with 4.0 GPAs, 1500 SATs, and IB degrees.

You get 500 White applicants with the name numbers.

You get 1 Black applicant with the same numbers.

Do you throw all 1001 applicants in a lottery and pick 50. Or are you more likely to accept the one Black applicant outright. Put the remaining 1000 in the lottery and pick 49?
I'm not saying it's wrong and I'm not saying it's right, but the fact is:

Affirmative action means the college admissions process is racist against asians and whites.

End of story.
Company: ClassDojo (http://www.classdojo.com)

Location: San Francisco

About Us: We're a small team of ~20 people (10 engineers) making one of the world's most popular education apps. Help make classrooms happier and more positive with engaged parents and students, and get handwritten fan mail from teachers and students every day on account of your impact. We value collaboration, joint ownership of product, and high test coverage.

Roles:

- Senior Backend Engineer: expand our service-oriented architecture to help us scale to tens of millions of active users. Work in node.js with some Go on the horizon.

- Lead Android Engineer: take charge of our app which, each September, is in the top 50 worldwide.

And I'd say that this situation is an advance. 20 years ago when I was a naive techie working in trading, most of the trading strategies I saw were tested by some young, high-testosterone guy wading into a pit, shouting a lot at people, and feeling vindicated if he made some money. (Or, in a pinch, feeling vindicated by whatever positive signal he received before getting creamed.)

For those interested in this, I strongly recommend Nassim Nicholas Taleb's "Fooled by Randomness", which gives the reader a feel for how much supposedly mathematical and rational finance runs on intuition, survivorship bias, and plain bullshit.
Keybase is! - https://keybase.io - we're a very small team, currently just 5.

Location: NY, SF, or CHI -- preferably you would join us at one of these places. While remote is possible, we like people to be in pairs or more, whenever possible. It's more fun, anyway.

We love these people:

1. Go developers; crypto experience a big plus

2. Those with platform-specific GUI experience: we're currently working on an OSX app and will be expanding to Windows, iOS, and Android soon.

3. Very product-oriented engineers. This is the kind of person who'd enjoy wireframing or planning smart notifications just as much as doing either front or back end development (probably not both). Since we're pretty small, this person would do a mix of things: user interface design (very usable, but to be polished by others), actual programming, making sure everything about the site is smooth to use. I know in a lot of companies this is often a graphic designer or dedicated interface person, but from what I learned at our last project (OkCupid), I think product-sensitive developers can be the best at it.

We have yet to take any formal funding.

The biggest challenge was dissuading kids from trying to predict every single thing that was going to happen. This is a generation of talkers. They have to comment on everything. No thought can go unexpressed.

This is, unfortunately, why I so rarely go to the movies anymore. I honestly don't remember if it was this bad when I was a kid, but I don't think I've seen a movie in the last 2 years where I didn't want to (or actually have to) tell some kids (late teen or younger) in my radius to stop talking. A few times other people even had to chime in when they scoffed at me, like I was somehow out of place telling them to not talk during a movie.

In the US it's rated "R" (17+). If it wasn't for all the bad language though, I bet it would only be PG-13 by modern standards.

Attitudes vary. My own parents would never have let me see Aliens when I was 11. I think I was 14 or 15 by the time I finally saw it.

I am inclined to wear a suit as all of my female friends think I look pretty good in a suit. However, there is a chance that the suit selection is limited - the trousers might no longer suit my waistline with one outfit, another outfit could still be covered with detritus from that last wedding and so on. Also sometimes you don't want to advertise to the world that you are going to a job interview. Therefore the suit idea just might not be possible.

Next choice, out of the regular work wardrobe, is to wear the clothes I am happiest wearing. These are the ones that are a bit like a wrap-around comfort blanket.

For me, most important is to actually be clean. I couch-surfed my way to one interview some years ago, where there was a problem with the water. I could not shower or even do a minimal effort wash. I felt horrible and I did not get the job.

One idea though, if you work primarily with one programming language/application/framework, then, if you have any merchandise - e.g. a hat or a T-shirt emblazoned with the language/app/framework logo - then that could work and break the ice.
Many of the sci-fi action films that have persisted are about ideas, and this elevates them far about the sort of films that pass for most science fiction these days. Just like in twenty years people will watch Inception and Pan's Labyrinth and everything Michael Bay has done will be wiped clean from memory.

I make an effort to upvote questions and comments/answers that have been unfairly downvoted. The same problem plagues HN for anyone who dares to defy the groupthink.
That must have been an exception to the rule though. If something is down-voted it has a significant higher chance of getting more down-votes and vice-versa.

You might think "doh". But if you get down-voted, try deleting the post and post the exact same content twenty minutes later. You will be surprised.

Asking about company dress code is a perfectly good question, and it's one part of understanding the company's overall culture. Any sane recruiter or hiring manager wants you to understand and be attracted by the company culture, and will be happy to answer questions about that sort of thing. Furthermore, they may give you brownie points for asking since it shows you are interested in making a good impression and in understanding the nature of your job on the whole.

* = sometimes that also includes me.
Some subjective thoughts:

Go constantly makes me jump through hoops and feels very rigid in its religious beliefs ("Thou shalt not want exceptions, thou shalt not want generics!").

Many of the syntax and capitalisation rules seem arbitrary, different for the sake of being different. I don't like the way Go code looks, even after using it for a while.

Nim feels less pretentious overall. The syntax is familiar and pleasant to me, mimic'ing languages that I like (Ruby/Python). It packs most of the little conveniences (exceptions, generics, short-hand iterators etc.) that Go stripped for the sake of "purity".

I've said it before: I hope for Nim to become the next (and faster) Ruby/Python, at which point it will very likely replace Go for me.
The problem isn't that the implementation is bad. The template language is designed in a way that makes a fast implementation impossible.

There is no reasonable way of improvement. A problem that is solved in Django 1.8 by making it possible to easily switch template engines.
