Ignore the database part - that's just a single concrete example. More abstractly, say you're receiving a continuous stream of events, and you don't know when it will end, and you want to take n samples from that. For example, maybe you have a web service that is receiving click event logs as a stream, and you want to sample 1000 of those, randomly, without storing every single one as it comes in.

Full Disclosure: I wrote it.
Incompetent management is a plague on the industry. And the cause of it is that programmers are relatively low status.

In so many businesses, there are "business guys" who end up managing the engineering staff-- at one level or another, but too often it's the direct manager role--and these business guys are incompetent at engineering.

When you don't know whether a direct report is doing good or not because you don't understand what their doing, by definition you cannot manage them. What are you going to do? Listen to the other programmers opinion of their code? It immediately becomes political.

The real tragedy is, learning business is not hard. Any programmer can do it. Biz guys can't learn programming-- despite all the "everyone should be a programmer" initiatives-- even easier is managing development teams. When you've got 10 years experience as a senior engineer, you should be promoted, and working on becoming an engineering manager.

Engineering managers can develop code. Right now this role is called "lead engineer" but they have no people management responsibilities.

This is something we, as engineers need to change.

So long as the "people managers" are biz guys who don't understand engineering (and naturally are often hostile to it) good engineers are going to get fired, and our entire profession will continue to slip lower and lower in status.
Raspberry Pi 2 Review – Linux Links – The Linux Portal Site
I know why it's not supported and I agree that there should be a third party package for it that is more or less officially supported/recommended like the jwt package.

Most recently I created a new handler object that runs some introspection of the model. I then override my model view sets' create and update methods to implement the handler. Maybe I should get off my ass and open source it (currently buried in a project).
My apologies, I didn't mean to attack Zach. I am actually hoping that he was not fired in connection to the Horvath incident.
Not as good as talking to a therapist, who is trained to help with these kinds of issues and help teach their clients the skills that can help an individual overcome these issues on their own.
> We're working hard to remove GPL code in some of our products.

Reading that, I am instantly wondering if you are currently infringing someones copyright and are now working hard to hide the crime?

There is alternatives of course. Are your product a prototype that never got shipped to a customer? Are the product at the moment gpl'ed, witch corresponding source code provided to the customer, and you want to move away to closed source in the future? I know any of the three scenarios could be the situation you are describing.

In my experience, the best thing you can do for anxiety is to give yourself permission to have some guilt free fun once in a while. If you're constantly keeping your mind churning on work/career related stuff, you'll burn yourself out. I recommend taking a weekend to just do fun things and set aside everything else for a couple days. That always helps me come back refreshed and clear-minded.
I actually used the term "conspiracy thinking" and I would regard this as a noun phrase with a meaning distinct from "conspiracy".
"Private Network" is often analogous with "Internal Network". They aren't lying,it's private as in it's using private IP assignment within their own infrastructure. Thus, private.

>>Diet

I would have never believed this, but after I started on a ketogenic diet I realized my stress/anxiety was greatly reduced. (Beware: antidote, n=1, etc).

>>Exercise

I find the days I feel "too busy" (aka really just stressed) for a walk are the days I need it most. I seldom find a 45 min walk to be a waste of time in retrospect.
Why is it a red flag if someone talks about getting fired?
I agree. I felt the exact same way.
Also Zach somehow sounds extremely professional and personal at the same time too.
Got to say I'm impressed, and I too know the pain of getting laid off.Reading this article makes me feel alot better about the shame and guilt I felt from being fired.
Attaboy. You'll do well here. Have internet points for your swell show in obedience!
This is a note, written by a law student. Not a reason to discount the analysis, per se, but worth keeping in mind if you were thinking of skipping the article and taking the conclusion at face value.

The actual analysis starts at 367. The gist of the argument, from a quick read, is that Kyllo (the case that held that the government could not use infrared cameras to look into peoples' homes) established that the government could not use extrasensory searches to get information about what's inside areas protected by the 4th amendment. To the extent that biological vitals and medical information are protected (an uncontroversial point), it follows that using extrasensory technology to obtain that information violates Kyllo.
Wave tried to be a lot of things -- a social network, a collaborative editor, and a chat client at once. It did none of these things easily as a result of the mishmashed use cases. It's good technology searching for a problem that doesn't exist.

Wave has been collecting dust as an Apache project ever since.
Panic disorder + cyclothymia. Have had to leave jobs, in the past, because of it. So yes.

1. See a psychiatrist. There's no shame in it.

2. You're not "becoming the impostor [you're] trying to conceal." You're fighting a neurological challenge that, untreated, would overwhelm almost anyone.

3. Sleep: 8 hours, same approximate time of day, take melatonin (or, if your doctor suggests something stronger, then that) if you have insomnia.

4. Exercise and diet are important. Eat greens, work out every day (do different activities, obviously) and try to avoid too much caffeine. Best time to exercise is in the morning, for most people.

5. Try not to spend too much time in an open-plan office (this can be hard to avoid). Use breakaway offices and take walks outside if you need to. Once you establish a reputation as a strong performer (and, remember, you're probably a lot better than your impostor syndrome has you thinking you are) you can WFH approximately 1 day per week per year that you've been at a company.

5a. ETA: It's quite probable, if you work in an open-plan or cubicle office while others can see you while you work, or approach you without you seeing them, that this is making you sick. Having to manage your image and perform cognitively intense work is very damaging (it's too incoherent, and overwhelms the brain) and your body starts to release toxins after 4-6 hours under that particular form of stress. Open-plan is truly the devil.

6. Meditation / mindfulness practice after you get your other ducks in a row. (Sitting and stewing and being anxious isn't "meditating", so get your mental health on an even keel in therapy and then use meditation to further strengthen your resolve once well.)

7. Don't be ashamed of it. It's not your fault. Anxiety disorders suck. Just do the best you can and understand that even normal people have the "impostor syndrome" phase at some point-- especially early in their careers.

8. ETA: Stop focusing on how good or not-good you are, especially relative to your peers. Just focus on skill improvement. Compete against yourself, not them, and just get better every day at what you think is important. Get so busy improving that you don't have time to think about where you "are" on the skill spectrum: get a Heisenberg sort of thing going on where your position is not measurable and irrelevant because of your momentum.

There are tons of positives, and tons of negatives, to opening up your story to the world. (This isn't really daily life, it's the end of a 5 year stint.) If it's not for you, fine. But that's your decision, not his. And vice versa.

I wouldn't be surprised if that happened, it seems like a good fit. Is there a standard or RFC?

My comment explicitly didn't speculate on any particular reason, it pointed to language that could easily be politician-grade rhetorical defense. Did you read my whole comment?

People can speculate about the reasons if they can point to relevant historical record. Why not? This man isn't sacred, is he?
Betteridge's Law applies, then, even to a question that starts with "Why?"
Thanks John! Appreciate the support...I'm not saying we didn't miss anything but after banging our heads against a wall for 9 months, at least a small confirmation of where we stand would help. These are real people making tough decisions about their business because of it and it's not the case of them spamming or trying to manipulate Google in this instance.
I submit that they do care, but that the costs associated with telling people how the penalty system works are higher than the benefits of telling people how the penalty system works.
1. Talk to your boss or other mentor-ish co-worker about your concerns. Make sure you specifically talk about these concerns; if it ends up being a performance meeting, they'll probably tell you you're doing great, like they probably already have.

Most people love to help when asked. Have one of those people connect you with people or resources that can fill in some knowledge, skill or experience gaps that you may identify. No one else needs to know about your concerns beyond that first person, if that's how you want it. Schedule the meeting right now.

2. Related to 1, when you're afraid of being found out for not knowing something, it's hard to ask for help. So make it a near term goal to eventually ask everyone you work with for help on something. Just something small is good enough, to get you used to doing this. You'll probably find that they don't think a thing about it, and will be glad to help. It also builds relationships. Successful people always ask for help.

3.It's hard to self-assess when you're broken. It sounds like you're temporarily broken. Temporarily. So have a discussion with your doctor, as a jumping off point. He may recommend any number of things, but he's clear-eyed at the moment and you're not. If you don't have a doctor, get one, or contact the most immediately available relevant health professional available. Do this today. Step away from the Hacker News and make an appointment with your doctor.

4. Have a nice weekend.
It seemed to me the post was tiptoeing around the reason of the dismissal, and the author even alludes to the story behind it with:

> Seemingly everyone’s got stories of being stuck under shit managers, or dealing the fallout from things out of their control.

I don't support "character smearing" or "attacking" in any way, but as a reader of the post, I would like to know more about the reasons for his firing, even in the form of less-than-reliable internet research -- as long as no attacking takes place.

I find Newsblur.com has passed Reader in almost every way – feed management, social, etc. – and it has a viable business model, not to mention being open-source (https://github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur).

The one advantage Reader arguably still had was what came from their search infrastructure (caching nearly everything forever & near-realtime updates) but that's not something I notice very often.
The left side is the cumulative probability that it's been kept "so far". The right side is the probability it will be kept, rather than replaced by the new element (probability that the new element will not replace this one). Multiply them together and you get the overall probability that the element remains after the new element has been processed.
I have often said that companies rarely take it personally when you decide to leave them, so don't take it personally when they decide to leave you. Easy to say and hard to do, like a lot of things in life.

Mostly it is the illusion of control, you don't have it, you only have choices you can make in the face of unfolding events. At Zach points out, companies change as they grow, they are some weird strange attractor function that emerges from the collective personality of everyone working there. When I joined Sun for example it was the coolest place I could ever imagine being, when I left it was a enterprise focused sales engine. Same company but different places.

I will say though that when I meet someone who has been fired or "let go" repeatedly from job after job, then it is a different situation entirely. Something I doubt Zach will experience.
There's a difference between "not having a license" (in which case copyright applies, in which case you lose, simple), and having a license who's terms are ambiguous and not fully legally tested.

>So we get a sort of intellectual dishonesty we see regularly from politicians: deep philosophical musings to surround a quick sweep-under-the-rug of the actual issue.

You are speculating here that he is pushing the issue under the rug. You also speculated that the reason he was fired was somehow related to the humorous reasons he gave. I think its a bit much....
Do you mean to intentionally betray a lack of an argument by restricting your comment to pure rhetoric?
Image is paramount in this meritocracy.
I don't usually have enough knowledge on most of the subjects on Hacker News to make a useful comment, but I can absolutely relate to your situation.

I'm a freelance developer with two steady retainers, I have a wonderful partner, and I play in an up-and-coming rock band; I'm doing very well, from an outside perspective. However, for the past few months, I was unable to refill my antidepressant prescription during my transition to CoveredCA (or, at least wasn't sure how to do so, derp), which led me back into a pretty bad case of my depression, anxiety, and obsessive/compulsive behavior.

When I don't take my medication, I can hardly think straight for more than a few minutes at a time before I'm thrust into a really mentally exhausting power cycle of automatic negative thoughts, which usually results in intense physical discomfort and a generally unpleasant demeanor. I get rude and withdrawn, and often binge on comfort foods and mind-numbing television to deal with the fact that I feel absolutely no pleasure in life.

Fortunately, I figured out my medication situation and I'm feeling a lot better. A little embarrassed about some of the work that I produced during that time, but that's life!

I've found that in addition to medication, CONSISTENT exercise and diet and >7 hours of sleep are necessities for me, and if you aren't doing those before the medication, you should give it a try to see if it's enough for you to function well. It's really hard to do this when you don't have a regular routine, as I've come to discover, but you just sort of have to start forcing yourself to be on a schedule of some sort, or plan for when your schedule is going to be somewhat erratic.

Also, seeing a therapist is super beneficial, and I frankly think most people would benefit from seeing one. It really helps you to realize that your "crazies" aren't that crazy, and it's okay to have irrational thoughts and acknowledge them.
I say Congratulations!

5 years is long enough as a employee at any tech company that isn't your own (or that you have serious upside in).

Take what've you learned and forge you're own path.

A path with control.

Yes control...

If you're employed by a company you have zero control (though, good managers work hard to make you feel exactly the opposite) and you can be fired/laid off/let go at any moment, without notice - job security is laughable.

Congratulations, now forge ahead with control!
Bear in mind that what you're asking for is in every detail exactly what the spammers and manipulators want to know.

One thing I notice is that I can be basically ok one day, and the next day I suddenly have been feeling terrible all week. I have a pretty selective memory about how I felt yesterday--if today is bad, I feel like yesterday was too, even if it wasn't. When I think about that deliberately and carefully, I can sometimes tell whether the correct response is to hang on another day or hour until I feel better, or try to modify my situation.

You might also consider 'firing yourself' for a couple minutes a day. Just take a couple minutes and imagine that you've lost your job. Even walk out of the building. Nothing in there is your responsibility anymore. Observe how that makes you feel. See if you can use those feelings to identify your next move--my suspicion is that you won't actually want to quit, but you could very well discover one particular responsibility or situation that is causing a disproportionate amount of your stress.

Finally, it's ok when you feel paralyzed and can't do anything to make your situation better. Try not to beat yourself up more; instead, just notice everything you can about the situation and your feelings. There will be another time when you feel like you can do something, and the observations you make will guide you then.

The first quote implies that he had fundamental differences in how he thought things should be done vs what management or the rest of the people he worked with wanted. In which case it seems to me he'd have a pretty rough 5 years there.
How could you conclude that "default deny" has anything at all to do with a persons's sex? People aren't being denied/excluded because of their gender they're being denied/excluded because enterprise IT culture sucks.

It is the opposite of an "inclusive" culture but it should be noted how it became that way: Through decades of non-technical people interfering with technical decision making and a political culture that measures success--and power--by the amount of people who work for you. Eventually you get to the point where someone--an outsider--contributing work to your project feels like a threat to your very existence.

> However, when the hierarchy is dominated by one gender, there is an additional hurdle that the privileged gender will not encounter.

What hurdle would that be? In addition to not being on the right team or having the right job title you need the right sex? I don't think so. Silos, NIH syndrome, and similar don't take sex into account. They impact all genders, races, and whatnot equally.

I'm sure sexism exists in IT as it does in all industries and careers (especially the subconscious kind) but the worker-hostile situations that are all-too-common in IT are not sexism. They may drive out or scare off women--I don't know--but they're not inherently sexist.
Thanks! Choose Backbone.js mostly because of personal experience in using it beforehand/being comfortable with it.
"Getting fired" implies you did something really wrong, which makes you less desirable of a hire.

It really depends if we are conflating "getting fired" with "laid off". The latter is not bad. When I hear that someone got fired it usually means they did something like break a big HR rule or caused the company to lose an important account.
Probably due to not being used to twitter. I'm getting into it and I almost always have to shorten my tweets. It's hard to get anything meaningful into the character limit.
Zach's posts and presentation/explanation style added a lot of value to Github. In reading the blog post linked in this story, I realize that I hadn't seen as much of that lately coming from Github.

I'm sure Zach will go on to add significant value elsewhere.

And as others in the thread have mentioned, what makes you a great early employee can sometimes not make you a great bureaucrat as the company grows. Hopefully his options are vested and he's able to have some financial upside in the future.
