Working as a lawyer is actually increasingly a low paid job unless you graduate with top results from a top school. In the UK, the average solicitor earned about 10% less than the UK average as of a few years ago, and that is pulled up by a tiny elite at a small number of the top firms, where starting salaries are twice or more the national average for solicitors in general, and where equity partners can easily earn 100-200 times the average solicitor.

Perhaps one should try to create the same application on both platforms. I get a feeling that XAML (and WPF) are not a silver bullet and can't make up for deficiencies in other areas. Such as typography.

But my WPF knowledge is limited, so I'll try to keep an open mind and research more when I have the time.

Yes and more to that point, it is trivially easy. A Stanford class had you case out for the [at] in an early assignment of writing a spam bot a few years ago. http://www.google.com/recaptcha/mailhide/apikey might be more effective, but the best thing is just to have a great spam filter and accept that someone will guess or find your email rather than trying to hide it.

Remember that an email address can be spread around more than by crawlers too. Sign up to a grocery store discount card with it? It is in some for-sale database somewhere.

Right, I see, that makes sense and your idea would definitely help there. It wouldn't defeat a more targeted attack, but just defeating a simpler one could be worthwhile.
Also it should be "special prize", not "special price".

And yeah, I do feel kinda awkward criticizing such a beautiful portfolio for its grammar :)

It's fascinating how each Apple release seems to follow precisely the same pattern without fail.

1. Media predicts failure of the new device since "it's not revolutionary like the original iPhone was".

2. Device is sold out within a short amount of time. Demand dwarfs supply.

3. Tech reviews are either breathless praise of the product or completely negative.

4. Customer satisfaction values are off the charts for the new device.

5. Something-gate - some usually minor technical issue is discovered and the media have another chance to write more articles.

6. The device continues to sell like hotcakes and everyone forgets about the technical issue.

We have now entered phase 5...
Have you set up a WordPress caching plugin? Maybe it's time to switch to a static site builder.
Yesterday I ran into this gem:

It allows you to set the resolution to the 'true' resolution of your retina screen. This way you have more screen, but it also fixes the performance issues when playing video, virtualbox virtualisation, etc. Truly recommend.

Good job he's not in the US then :)
This article seems goofy and weird. He spends a LOT of time randomly talking, in order to justify not using a profiler, when profiling is such a simple and easy thing.

I know many high-performance programmers and all of them profile because profiling is how you test your mental model against reality. Yes, as the author says, having a mental model of machine performance is important. But you need to test that against reality or you are guaranteed to be surprised in a big way, eventually.

Example: How does he even know that his div optimization matters? If he is even reading through one pointer in that time, he is probably taking a cache miss on that read, the latency of which is going to completely hide an integer divide. The author seems generally to not understand this, since he spends most of his time talking about instruction counts. Performance on modern processors is mostly determined by memory patterns, and you can have all kinds of extra instructions in there and they mostly don't matter.

Which this guy would know if he profiled his code.
Maybe he thought we are talking about IDE for web development. :P
Don't forget lack of third party native apps, GPS, MMS, live video streaming/calling, copy/paste, and backgrounding of tasks. You know...all that stuff that had made smartphones "smart". You couldn't even change your wallpaper or ringtone.

First gen iPhone was a big deal because they put all resources into providing the one or two things all the others sucked at: a smoother and more user-friendly interface and a more pleasant mobile web browser.

But it wasn't until the second or third gen that people coming over from previous smartphones could really get most of those things we took for granted already. If you were coming from a flip phone you were just adding some cool stuff. But if you had become accustomed to the typical features of a smart phone, you had to choose between smooth scrolling and pinch/zoom on a nice capacitive screen and being able to install software, stream music (in the background no less), get live navigation in the car, and operate on the latest high(er) speed networks.

I don't think the new Macbook has nearly as far to go as the first iPhone did. They'll iterate with faster processors, a better GPU, and maybe an extra port next round.
Your page looks great because you have great skills and achievements to show. Remember that. You are getting A LOT of attention in HN, that will sure be picked up by another places on the interwebs.

So, my piece of advice: do not use this fame and fall in temptation to start capitalizaing solely on your personal brand, giving lectures, interviews, writing books on how to be hired by the hottest startups and other distractions. Keep focusing on working hard to build things. You are doing a great job on this so far. Congrats!
Are you saying the the big drop in the stock price was an overreaction? If yes, it'll rise again, and not as much harm was done as the article headline suggests.

Startup game studios are startups. Many game studios do get acquired or IPO, classic startup end-games. Game studios also satisfy your other criteria, but since when are those criteria for calling a company a startup?

For example, a single bad product/service can kill any startup, not just a game studio.

I'm really happy to see more What-you-see-is-what-you-mean Markdown editors. This previous HN discussion of Markdownify (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9354653) alerted me to Texts.io, which initially looked extremely promising, but was riddled with bugs. I ended up having to go back to iA Writer Pro (which is a solid, normal MD editor). For pure writing activities, stripping away (hiding) as much of the syntax and chrome as possible is very valuable, which is why I moved to MD from Word in the first place. Two-pane write/preview editors are a terrible solution.
Nylas are, in addition to their open source sync engine: https://nylas.com/
Congrats. You put a lot of American job seeking college kids to shame.
Yes and a lot of those countries import a lot of food from elsewhere because they cannot produce enough (or would be more expensive to do so). Japan for instance only produces ~39% of its own food on a calorie basis.
If anything, modders create demand for the original product. You can't play the mod if you don't own the game. Something like DayZ was a major driver of ARMA2 demand.
In 2007? Sure it was.
We're using their Sync Engine and while it still took a good bit of time to implement, I'm sure it saved us a ton of time in the long run.

Twitter’s New Dedicated Food Account Could Help Broaden Appeal
At our office a lot of the development takes place on computers not connected to the internet, on a separate network. I installed Codiad (http://codiad.com/) on our dev server a year or so back. Recently it has taken off and a couple other guys are using it. I've slowly migrated from Eclipse + Remote Systems Explorer to Codiad.

Super easy to install (its all php based, very few dependencies), and for the most part "just works".

I have codiad open in the browser and usually a PuTTy window open on the server to test, run command line, etc.

We have Linux(Ubuntu) servers and a mix of OSX / Windows dev machines. Keeping Eclipse working across all of them was annoying (and explaining how to setup when a new Developer comes in). Now I just create a Codiad account, a ssh account and let them have at it.

I went down the path of attempting an "offline install" of Cloud9, but gave up after a while...it mostly assumes you have an active internet connection.
In addition to the OP's question, if you are moving from an Air to the Macbook, I would especially love to hear direct comparisons. I was very tempted to get the new Macbook, but couldn't justify it given that the 13-inch Air was substantially faster and not much heavier/thicker...and the Retina screen isn't a huge deal to me for on-the-road work.

I ultimately didn't buy anything because I already have a 15-in Retina pro, and on further reflection, it didn't seem that much thicker than the Air...so I just replaced my stolen iPad instead.
I used Cloud9 while doing Hartl's Rails tutorial and was very impressed. Would probably use it for my personal projects if I was on Windows.

Nepal Earthquake: Report from OpenStreetMap Situation Room, Day 3
I would guess that MBA school has a similar bimodal (or, at least, bimodal-ish) outcome distribution as law school.

If you go to a top-5 MBA school, the opportunities are ridiculous. I know plenty of unimpressive people making $500,000 or more straight out of MBA school. But it needs to be a top school, and there are a lot of factors (e.g. work experience) that are socioeconomic rather than merit-based.

Top MBA schools are basically a 2-year networking event. I know a couple economics professors (at top MBA schools) who refuse to teach MBA students because they're sick of having the students demand of the Dean that they reschedule exams and classes to accommodate their leisure travel, and having the students win.

Most MBAs don't get the ridiculous, unearned compensation bump that merits two years off and an expensive degree, though. If you make $500k with no skills whatsoever, then you can probably pay it off. If your next gig comes in at $75k, that isn't bad by most peoples' standards, but it'll make it hard to pay off the student loans.

Go to a page with an unloaded flash element. On the far right side of the address bar there will be a puzzle piece with a red 'X' over it, click that and you can enable plugins on that page for that session only.

It's actually a slight improvement, because previously you'd have to reload a page to do that.
Read my mind...
It really depends on what your web dev work looks like. It's a sleek computer, but the specs are pretty weak for development if you need to run vagrant, a database, a server, etc. The computer specs are similar to a 2012 MBA. The keyboard will take a bit getting use to as it doesn't have the same tactile feel. Accuracy will probably drastically drop. Having a single port isn't horrible, but it's sure annoying when I need to charge my phone.
There may be a different story behind this:

>On April 23rd Rachel posted her goodbye on Twitter and I freaked out and asked her a bunch of stuff to see if there was absolutely anything I could do to fix things.

>There, of course, wasn't.

>I asked her why she felt the need to do this. She replied saying that she had "incurable crippling diseases", specifically "RA + fibromyalgia" (RA I assume means Rheumatoid Arthritis).
Does that mean it's not "retina" resolution anymore for things like fonts, etc?
Very cool, I could definitely see this being used to create some interesting games. Does it scale well when using a lot of elements? Can you get a bunch moving at once without too much performance hit?

Anyway, regardless of the above, looks awesome on your demo page.

> The article didn't make the link between NASDAQ, NYSE, and Twitter clear.

No, it did (well as far as NASDAQ and Twitter are concerned). Twitter was quoted as saying the following in the article: "Nasdaq hosts and manages our IR website, and we explicitly instructed them not to release our results until after the market close and only upon our specific instructions, which is consistent with prior quarters."

So it sounds like NASDAQ released this early on one of Twitter's websites.
Unfortunately, Crestron-style systems are still the only way to go if you want a system that you don't have to babysit too much. They support wireless or wired HDMI across multiple inputs and outputs. But they're pretty expensive (a few thousand dollars per room) so most people don't bother.

Something like Chromecast works ok, but there's no easy way to swap back to other inputs (e.g. a game console) without a remote. Chromecast also has some significant input lag (a second or two) when issuing commands to it.

I recorded a video that shows my hand a week or so after my installation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeIqDlaatp0

This was an xNT NFC tag: https://dangerousthings.com/shop/xnt-ntag216-2x12mm-glass-ta...

Turns out it wasn't installed too shallow, I just have thin and pale skin which makes it very visible. :) The scar did disappear completely. Still use it on my door locks and with a couple of apps on my phone.

Not sure if the antenna coil on this person's NFC chip is larger or better orientated than mine, but one thing I'll say is that it isn't that easy to get a random phone to pick it up. It took me several tries to figure out where I had to put my hand, and a few weeks before I could quickly and reliably get it to scan on the first try.

If I scan it with someone else's phone, it still takes several tries. The antenna on most phones isn't very large, and the antenna on the NFC chips are miniscule, so getting the right orientation and position isn't as easy as swiping an RFID or NFC badge.

This looks great, it could be a good tool for setting up dev environments for student interns. Not sure how well the C++ is. Their documentation [1] doesn't list how to install privately, nor is the pricing for private setups clear.

Since he's from Slovakia, does he have the visa status to work in the US? Will a startup go through H1-B process for a summer intern?

Also, if he doesn't go through the formal visa process and tries to do his summer internship with a visitor visa, he may be banned from the US for 10 years. Given that he's publicly publicizing coming to the US to work, it would be very easy for USCIS to block his entry into the US.
Great work!

One thing - pretty much everything you wrote is about you...Which is great, but it would be more compelling if removed any mention of yourself and made it all about the company who is going to hire you.
The Circle of Life.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8ZnCT14nRc

I find this somewhat troubling. Trust an old-timer: When the circle comes around to the point where it tips toward hiring MBAs again, it's time to sell and take cover. A couple years after they destroy the economy again, you come back in and buy. Not necessarily a bad thing - for everything there is a season - just something to be aware of.
I get that but they are clearly hiding the price. I don't think there is anyway to argue against that.
You're right, but apparently there are caveats:

http://hackaday.com/2014/12/17/esp-gets-fcc-and-ce/

"This announcement does come with a few caveats: the chipset is certified, not the module. Each version of the module must be certified by itself, and there are versions that will never be certified by the FCC. Right now, we’re looking at the ESP8266-06, -07, -08, and -12 modules – the ones with a metal shield – as being the only ones that could potentially pass an FCC cert."
Can anyone tell whether with this the Chromecast still needs to have an internet connection to work? In applications like digital signage would just want the Chromecast on a LAN - not with internet access.

I've had to roll my own stuff because of that limitation, which runs on a Raspberry PI plugged into the display. Would much rather have preferred to have a single Raspberry PI serving the content, and multiple chromecasts plugged into displays.

I bought a Macbook Air 13" about six months ago and it's been great. But I especially like the SD slot and multiple USB ports (which I need for my work -- android and iOS app development), and of course the 9 hour battery. This new Macbook seems like a downgrade. Seriously, why didn't they build on the Air instead of what looks like chopping out features to achieve an impractical thinness?
Mixpanel absolutely blew up our mailbox when we decided to check them out... I get following up but damn.

Of course, but generally a startup grows to a certain size and becomes a safe corporation. A game studio is like a startup that can't succeed, only survive. The games industry is pretty unique in the software world in that there's no/little help in old successes. It's got more in common with consulting than it does with Google/Dropbox/Facebook.
What were the example countries looked at in that class? Land reform is plainly a crucial factor for general economic development. (Japan, south Korea, and Taiwan all had that after World War II.) But I have also seen discussions of education that point out that GENERAL provision of good primary education (those same three countries) far outperforms providing higher education only to members of the elite (many countries in Africa and Latin America). I'm not sure that I buy that general provision of sound primary education makes little difference. I have lived in east Asia, and I get the distinct impression that it makes a LOT of difference.
Value Properties in C++
Episode #78 – Troy Dean Interviews Ahsan Parwez
If the laptop sits on a standard table where it will be comfortable to type on, then the top of the screen is 12 inches from the top of the table, which is much lower than the typical laptop. You're then faced with laying the screen flat and looking down at it, or hunching to lower the height of your head.

The comment is nothing to do with scaling and all to do with viewing angle. Ideally the monitor should be placed with its center at the same height as your head. This is impossible on laptops and worst on the smallest.
Regarding enum support, you can create type safe enums in Go like this:

type Color int

const (
Red = iota
Blue
Green
Sausage
Yellow
)

The `Color` type is not compatible with int, so except for explicit casts and literal assignments, it's type safe.

Though that's quite a different enum style compared to the tagged unions of Rust, his approximation with interfaces is indeed closer to that.
The focus on kids drives me nuts. I worked in a web dev shop that billed itself as "family friendly." Flexible hours, work from home, etc.

The reality was that the childless developers never got to use the flexible benefits. Your child has a soccer game? Is sick? Sure take the afternoon off, the childless devs will cover for you. We wouldn't want you to not be there for your child. Oh you want to take a two hour lunch to go out with your girlfriend. Too bad, so-and-so needs to pick their kid up from school so we need you to sit here and babysit the server while he's out.
Although it is a resume, it's also in a different medium than the resume 'rules' apply to. So I'd argue it's ok to break some of the typical rules.
