The problem is the addition of "a few layout rules" turns the context-free syntax of the language into a context-sensitive one. For example, if you were to write a parser using just the information from the link you've posted, you can enter a scenario where the same piece of code pasted in two different places in a code base mean two different things.

Case in point: putting if _ then _ else on separate lines is fine, but inside a do-notation it causes problems because the layout stage inserts semicolons between the parts, and the production rules listed at the bottom of the page do not include optional semicolons in the "if" alternation. You need to indent the then/else to overcome it. This problem is fixed with a hack[0], which fortunately has no side-effects for the rest of the language, but it just shows that throwing together ad-hoc rules for parsing code, rather than well understood theory like LR parsing, is inviting room for problems.

With CFG subsets like LR/LL, every production rule in these grammars is also a valid LR/LL grammar - in other words, it's not only the entire grammar of a language that is context-free, but all the parts are too. An indentation-sensitive language is only context-free when looked at for the entire language grammar, but the individual production rules of are context-sensitive. You can't just copy and paste some code into the syntax without providing this context (by means of manually indenting the code).

TomTom – http://www.tomtom.com — London, UK – Mobile & Embedded Apps and DevOps roles (full time, on site, relocation available)

We're TomTom's navigation software team in London and we create the best on-the-road experiences for drivers and bikers everywhere.

The apps we make are built into Renault and Smart in-car systems, available for smartphones, and at the heart of TomTom's expanding range of consumer devices where hardware and software are conceived together. Just like this one coming soon: http://www.tomtom.com/new-rider-400 - http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/15/turn-to-page-17-for-the-t...

Developers who join our expert team are valued for their ideas as well as their skills, and we encourage both through regular hack days, plus training or conference attendance in areas that interest them.

-- Role: Mobile & Embedded Apps Developer

Our apps feature TomTom's signature design language and map-centric UI, optimised for use on the road. Working with TomTom's UX team, app development with us is a challenging mix of custom UI development and deep routing, guidance, traffic and search presentation smarts. If you join us you'll be developing with Java, C++, JavaScript, Android, iOS and Qt.

-- Role: DevOps for Mobile & Embedded

Building scaleable CI infrastructure for mobile & embedded app testing is hard, particularly when you add custom pre-release hardware and gigabytes of map data into the mix. If you join us you'll be working with Android and iOS SDK command line tools and device emulators, Jenkins, Git, Artifactory, Gradle, Ruby, Docker and a mix of local device farms and cloud computing services.

4 years at web payments giant. 3 years in mobile dev.
I was going to say something along these lines. Basically I have a budget for a position and I start from there.

The other aspect is fitting in the person with the other people at the company. It doesn't engender a lot of trust if the salaries of engineers are all over the map based on their negotiation skills, what I want are engineers with engineering skills so I try to start with the median and work from there. A conversation might be "The median salary for this role is $X, based on your experience related to the role you could start a bit higher or a bit lower than that."
Straightforward: Do you think the SAT and high school GPA are excellent metrics (note that I'm not asking are they decent metrics that measure something, I'm asking do you believe they are excellent metrics)? It seems to me that the SAT is a gameable system and that some groups (people who are wealthy, people inclined to spend money on education) are more likely to spend money on the types of things that help them game the system (SAT courses that guarantee certain score improvements because they teach the student how to game the system). If one group has less money they are less able to game the system. Or if you are from a less affluent family that doesn't even realize there are New England, SV, NYC & LA parents paying for multi-thousand dollar SAT prep courses that your child is competing with.

And high school grades are subjective evaluations, often from mediocre teachers, that are likely to themselves be subject to bias because the subjective evaluators have many of the same biases as the culture at large.

And good engineers in general - https://www.themuse.com/jobs/themuse/engineering-team
> Do they use those protected profits to build a network which they then sell to consumers?

I don't understand this argument at all. Having access to capital isn't an "unfair advantage" -- it's a hard prerequisite to building a network. Nobody can do it without that.

And sources of money are never unfair. If somebody has easier access to capital than you, that isn't an "unfair" advantage, it's a completely reasonable advantage. It isn't unreasonable for large entities to invest in things they want to just because they have more money than you.

The only way it would be unfair is if they were operating below cost in the long term, which has nothing to do with where they get the money and which they aren't doing and have no reason to do.
Main Street Hub // Austin, TX // email: brandon.beck@mainstreethub.com

We are looking for a few experienced software engineers to join our small but growing R&D team in downtown Austin. Within engineering we are a passionate group of people who are extremely interested in building the software that helps our customers around the country thrive in their local communities. We’re a really small team (currently 11 people) so you’ll have plenty of say around how we develop software going forward.

We are currently in the process of modernizing our software platform to be more modular and truly data driven. Our goal is to use data to make sure that we provide the right content to the right consumer at the right time. We’re building our internal API using REST based services implemented in Java, and while our front end is currently implemented in PHP, we are migrating away from that. Some of the technologies that we’re using: Dropwizard, Swagger, Flyway, AngularJS, Bootstrap, CloudFormation, Troposphere, and Ansible. All new engineers get company provided downtown parking, flexible work hours, 100% of their health insurance premiums paid for by the company, the ability to build their own work computer, and access to our kitchen with plenty of drinks and snacks. We’re looking for individuals only so please NO RECRUITERS OR AGENCIES (seriously, your emails will just go into the trash folder). In addition we’re looking for full-time employees who are already in Austin, TX or willing to relocate.

> I think computer programming has developed another subculture, or maybe a couple other subcultures that are very different from the hacker subculture.

I agree. Programming went mainstream in the last decade (I noticed the transition in an interesting way - it used to be that any girl look at me weirdly for being "into computers", now every other girl just says "hey, my boyfriend is a programmer too!"). And now your average coder is indeed well-balanced and adjusted. Also not a hacker. Those are two different subcultures now.

> Asian Americans, Lee says, are penalized by 50 points

Compared to what? White applicants, statistically? Why are white people the "default" which everyone else is measured against, do white people not have a race/ethnicity?

There is no 'objective' measure of what SAT score "should" get you into a university. Most universities use things other than SAT scores to decide admissions (things in addition to affirmative action/diversity, I mean, too). Some universities may rely/weight SAT scores more than others. There is no SAT score that is "supposed to" guarantee you admission, "before accounting for race". It doesn't work that way. If you think it would be more "fair" to rely exclusively on SAT scores, you can make an argument for that, but a test is not in fact some objective measure of 'reality', it's just one test.

The idea that it's just a fact that "Asian Americans are penalized by 50 points"-- it's an under-specified statement, and it doesn't actually mean much.

I think this is an example of the assumptions/biases in the language of this article and those quoted in it, in general.

Email: hello@erusev.com
No, I said a comment was an example of the willful ignorance the previous poster was pointing out. You may or may not be personally ignorant; I couldn't know. But that comment ignored the actual reality. The reality here that people are not always free to not take jobs. It is something the HN glibertarian contingent continually ignores, which is precisely the point
bendoernberg when you jumped in. The problem is not solved until it is actually solved, not just because it might be solved in some imaginary world you are partial to.

Engagement in conversation is not something you are entitled to. It is earned. You seem to think you're entitled to make facile comments and then not have those comments challenged. And when they are, you turn it into personal drama apparently so that you don't have to face dealing with what you've actually said. I have no idea why you think that makes you an appealing person to have a conversation with.
Location: Seattle

Resume: http://www.almostinfinite.com/curtisb-resume.html

Notes: I am not up on the hip new JavaScript frameworks (I used Ext-JS and Sencha Touch at my last job, but although they are JavaScript frameworks, they are definitely not hip.) but on the other hand I was doing hard core stuff with raw JavaScript and direct DOM manipulation way back before even JQuery. And I can't really call myself a full stack programmer because there is probably some part of your stack that I don't know -- yet.
You're splitting hairs. First, as you say, this is recent, so it doesn't affect my points. Second, CalTech clearly makes race a much smaller factor than the Ivies, and in fact many folks who support giving racial preferences consider CalTech's stated admission policies to be mere lip service. CalTech's class is just 1% black.

SEEKING FREELANCERS - Remote - Frontend - Javascript, HTML, CSS

I'm looking for a number of people who are interested in freelance work in (primarily) JS. Remote is fine, prefer full time (or close) availability and some overlap with UK GMT time would help.

The development will be using our API and the Google Closure library (experience not required). A strong background in JS/HTML/CSS is needed.

There are a large number of projects available and they require little coordination, so they are pretty ideal for remote freelancing.

Contact me (Sebastián) at sventura at monetate if you're interested or have any questions.
Thanks!

Might be the case in theory, but I've yet to get a WebEx or Youtube live stream working reliably over 3G from my own home.

Paying market rates doesn't help when the infrastructure is already struggling to deal with current, unsubsidised load. 3G/4G based Internet is a dead end in reality, barring huge technical leaps.

> Two jobs in under two years? I think I could explain, but I might not even get that chance.

Just a note here- I agree with most other people that if you work at a place for a short while and leave, I would just leave it off your resume. You will get asked about that in interviews, and in my experience giving interviews it's a red flag when a candidate "goes negative" about a current or previous employer; even if the reasons are totally valid (which yours sound like they are) it can come off as bitter or petty in the context of an interview and should be avoided if possible. There are ways to talk about the kind of employer you're looking for without directly maligning a previous one.
>Bill Haast figured he had handled more than three million poisonous snakes over the years, and he had the hands to prove it.

If we assume that it takes no more than 10 seconds to "handle" a snake. This would mean he spent no less than 23 years continuously handling one snake right after another, without any breaks for food, sleep, or anything at all. Unless we are imagining an even more liberal version of handling than my calculation allows for I find the claim doubtful.
