Then they'd personally be part of the hiring company, no? I think the intent here is to not have "middle persons" posting jobs trying for the interstitial profits, and in the case of a recruiter for FooBar Inc on the FooBar Inc payroll, there doesn't seem to be an issue IMO.
Totally agree. I always felt that Subways offer was too low and couldn't scale well. It takes too much manpower to make a single meal and their work is hard to parallelize. When they introduced the inefficient microwave type toaster to compete Quiznos it just made matters worst.
Yaml then?

Even your comment has gone grey. Open minds are left behind in the hivemind groupthink of HN, so even small correct observations get penalised.
As a former psychology researcher, I would hazard, that like any decent, published, study, they validated their measurements before using them. Minutiae like this is often missed in the press description.
Ah, this is a good point too; I hadn't considered that. The rule could be "hiring managers only", but as you said, that may be too strict.
I would leave out the 'industry averages' argument - my reaction as a manager is 'so what' - if I think you suck and you can make more somewhere else, go ahead.

Your mindset as the employee is, I'm bringing more value than my comp is worth. The employer mindset is, if I don't give this raise, will they walk and do I care. That's why sales guys have the top salaries - its easy to quantify - they bring in - make ALOT of $, or they don't and are out of a job. With Devs its harder, so you make your case.

Another thing, managers higher up who make the decisions don't necessarily know who is good and who isn't. Especially introvert devs who are the farthest thing from self-promoters. Your interactions with your boss, annual reviews, kudos, etc.. should give you some idea how well you are liked. Well liked people get raises because losing them hurts.

I wouldn't be too timid then - and ask directly. Not this "can we please discuss further". Rather, "I would like a 5% percent raise. Here is why I deserve it." Could be job accomplishments. Could be speaking, helping marketing, extra-curriculars.. Any chance to quantify with numbers is good. You'll get it, or not - or get part of it. It's just business and you are likely much more emotional about it then your employer, who deals with this thing all the time.
Well I'm at a relatively small company ~40 employees. I interact daily with the CEO - which helps a lot. And it can be risky but the worst you can get is a NO. Which I've gotten. But who cares.

All I've got to say if the company you work at doesn't appreciate you I'd look somewhere else. Somewhere where devs are actually appreciated.

If in a corporate type job, everything I've said is irrelevant. But who wants to work in corporate America anyways?
The fact that it's a LGPLv3 licensed library gives me pause to use even in our backend infrastructure (never ever in code running on client devices). The v3 situation is so complicated that even fsf had to come up with a matrix to explain how their own licenses play with each other. Not a very comforting situation:

>In contrast, American culture almost prides itself on not participating, and "forging your own path", non-conformity is the new conformity, etc.

IMHO, this is mostly a presentation of non-conformity. In my experience, having lived half my life in the US and half of it elsewhere, non-conformity is punished much more severely here than in western europe. You even get ostracized here for having a different concept of what non-conformity involves.
It probably uses WebKit from PySide / PyQT see:

I think it's sort of an approach towards something like nw.js but I could be wrong, a bit of more description as to the purpose and use case would help evade the confusion since I'm only speculating..
I've never played phone-games much, but enough that I wondered if I could find a better use for the time. I found one:

Chess

Chess works pretty well as a phone-game. You can blitz against the computer and work through endlessly non-repeating permutations of mid and late game play that you'd rarely see against human opponents. Playing against your cell phone does not adequately prepare you for human opponents on its own, but it does help you improve your game.

While being good at chess if of questionable utility, at least it's somewhat respected and can be used in social settings. It's viewed as a skill, unlike being good at flappy bird.

Schools are allowed to set their own policies on legal representation in internal matters (except where stipulated by law). It's only when a dispute hits the legal system that a right to an attorney is sacrosanct.
I always thought it was the former, since otherwise the location implies that the company is looking for people located nearby them. Good point, nevertheless.
I'm not sure who specifically is working on improving the macro system, but it's definitely something that's been prioritized. My primary recommendation for contacting the relevant people would be either the Rust internals forums (https://internals.rust-lang.org) or the #rust-internals channel on irc.mozilla.org.
It's fine for retailers to provide actual experts to help customers where help is needed. Supermarkets aren't one of those places. They just need one or two people to answer questions of the form "which aisle has X?" and the rest of the business would be better run by robots. It's weird for the Economist to be indulging in their delusions otherwise.

For things like consumer electronics and appliances, it's my experience that most stores cannot provide employees who make better recommendations than can be had by just checking the most recent Consumer Reports review, so even though there is a need for a human staff you can't exactly say that the staff they've got is a justified expense. If the sales staff never had conflicts of interest when it comes to helping consumers it would probably be a very different story.
I walk down an alleyway next to a Subway every day on my way to work and all I can smell is some sour/yeasty/herby concoction that doesn't inspire me to want to go in. I think I've been in a Subway shop about 3 times in my 49-year life.
It's a poor value proposition compared to any local sandwich shop (Ike's in NorCal, Firehouse, Potbelly, &c), because their food is lowest-common-denominator with no local ingredients, they have those obsesity causing "healthy" low-fat/high-sugar options, and they're not faster. Are they actually cheaper?

It is made of real food and pretty inoffensive, so it's not bad or anything.
It's like an alien culture out of a Star Trek episode.

Play is not an anomaly, but the essence of personal and technological development. The fuel of progress is play and Learning by example is no substitute for trial and error. On top of that, a play-less culture is not resilient at all, and therefore prone to extinction.

Local police can charge you with crimes, restrict your movement (pull you over when you're trying to drive somewhere), throw you in jail, knock down your door at night and question you.

NSA doesn't have any of these powers.
Do you have any idea where they went?
Absolutely. At first I was excited that there was so much activity. Simultaneously, it intimidates many engineers I talk to because of how much fragmentation there is.

Thankfully, the footprint of each framework is relatively small. I'd try to pick the one that seems to be the least encroaching (e.g. not using tons of custom components, something fairly agnostic about underlying data structure/data fetching methods). That way, if the tide suddenly changes, you're not buried up to your toes in messy, dying code.

You can also get by with React on its own! We've got a few areas in some of our Backbone apps where we've just decided to use raw XHR requests to fetch data (and nothing wrapping around the objects themselves).

So the TLDR is that I don't have a good panacea of a Flux library to recommend, but that shouldn't stop you from investigating React as a view mechanism in your applications.
Interesting, I didn't know! Is it this red area you are referring to [Greek claims]?

> I'm not arguing that we should completely give ourselves over to our base urges, but acknowledging they exist, that everyone has them, and that they can be a wonderful thing would be a great start.

As soon as you say something like this, you concede the argument.

You are equating human happiness with "giving in to base urges," which couldn't be further from the truth.
If you're going to add some code to this, it may make sense to add an additional rule around who is allowed to post that is related to karma and/or account age.

If you compare top and bottom of the May 2015 thread it seems that the quality drops with newer accounts or low karma accounts.

I think a rule like this would also ensure that it's this community posting to the thread and not someone from the outside trying to post to yet another job board--which is the spirit of the "no recruiters" rule.
The social aspect is definitely important. Being someone who can work well with others is essential. Being able to communicate complex tech things to non-tech people is very valuable for career advancement. If this is a skill you lack, work on developing it.

If your manager thinks you suck, then yeah, you will not be getting a raise. In fact, they may be looking for a way to push you out. However, if they do think you are good, then understanding where you are pay-wise relative to the industry can be a good argument to make.
I don't think these generalizations about Americans are valid at all.

Analyse Asia 34: The Rise of China Smartphone Makers with Bryan Ma
Synopsis: We interview Bryan Ma, Vice President for IDC’s Asia Pacific client devices research group to have an insightful discussion on three interesting topics: (a) the rise of the chinese smartphone makers and where they are heading with a short discussion on why Xiaomi is adapting their strategy to overseas markets, (b) the tablets and PC market in Asia with specific mention of Microsoft making headways in capturing the tablets market with their surface pro, and (c) the wearables market in Asia for both consumers and enterprise sectors.
No argument there, but unfortunately that's a powerful insanity that infects enough people to be a financial concern for Lego.

Ask HN: How do you prepare for interviews?
How do you prepare for technical interviews, especially those that you know will involve whiteboard coding? How much time do you invest in reviewing algorithms that you haven't used in a while? What are the best prep resources?
I think it really depends on your implementation. For readability, having a `UserStore` and `MessageStore` in one place might get to be troublesome, especially when it comes to separating out business logic. But that said, things like `Om` like to push the idea of a single application state object, so I can forsee an implementation where you have multiple `Store`s that sit atop a single `ApplicationStore`, such that you deal with the keys of `users` and `messages` separately while they are attached to the same parent `ApplicationState` object (which can be immutable and persistent as well).

I got an incredible job last year through one of these threads. It's quite likely altered the trajectory of my (still nascent) career in a way that none of the other options I was considering at the time would have. Thanks, Matthew.
Subway is a subpar sub shop at best, and it no longer really has the advantage of being pretty cheap (remember $5 footlongs? Not so much anymore).

This may be a Maine thing, as I haven't noticed it as much in other states, but I would much rather go to a mom & pop gas station/general store and order an Italian than go to Subway. It's superior in every way: faster, cheaper, better ingredients, more toppings. Of course it doesn't really scale...
I should note that you're taking this a step further than I was: it's not all "phone games" that are bad (is there anything that "phone games" as a genre have in common?)—it's just what are commonly referred to as "free-to-play casual social games" that are insidious.

You can have great game experiences on a phone! You can build good, fun games, either in-depth or casual, for mobile, just like you can build them for consoles. In fact, just because a game is "casual" doesn't make it bad! Some of my favorite games have been casual few-minutes-at-a-time pick-up-and-put-down things; non-time-based puzzle games (e.g. KAMI[1]) work especially well for this—they're functionally equivalent to doing a crossword puzzle—but even action games like Tiny Wings[2] can work if they're self-contained.

Then, of course, you can also have things like RPGs and action-adventure games, of just the same quality you'd see from a console.

The most important difference, I think, is that people don't tend to play the good games in the middle of a conversation. The good games are actually engrossing, and therefore can only be played as an exclusive action—you might see someone playing them on the bus, but never just fiddling with them while hanging out with friends. It's only the games with no fun-value at all that are capable of the "empty addiction" you see on people stuck pulling a slot-machine arm all day.

Hawkeye uses a bow in super powered battles. Presuming you won't always have the best form under fire just seems sensible.
I think you can probably fix the "REMOTE" issue, which makes it difficult for the hundreds of talented people looking for remote-only work and having to deal with this:

- "Sorry no remote"

- "REMOTE - No"

- "remote unavailable currently"

- etc.

The phrasing should change to:

REMOTE or ON-SITE

That way, from amongst even the coolest "Who is Hiring" sites, like this:

http://hnhiring.me/

Folks can finally filter out the non-remote work properly.
I agree with the others, pretty common, even if you're not a company that's been acquired. I noticed most of them went away once I removed myself from my companies profile on Linkedin. They will typically try to downplay your pay/benefits. I had several just tell me I'm wasting my potential by living in the NorthEast as opposed to California.

I usually respond to such nonsense by countering with some huge number. I figure it's better than ignoring it as one day they might take the bait and I can cash in.
This is a good rough draft but it lacks a lot of basic background information. It reminds me of trying to teach programming by only providing a collection of code snippets, these are useful but they won't replace true guidance and they can become a dangerous learning crutch. Don't forget who your audience is (or who you're attracting with a title like Web Hacking 101) and remember that when you write you should be focusing on making it as easy to read and understand as easy as possible for them. Explain the whys behind taking certain steps such as why you should be google searching for sql errors (saves you time, it's easy, google cache pages can show details about errors that are not longer visible on the live site, and most importantly what sql is and the implications of an error).

Yeah, the balance has to be between ease of reading and ease of typing into the browser's plaintext input box. It just has to be easier to parse than what is now...which, to be honest, isn't terribly hard to parse, but it's enough of a barrier to make it more than an afternoon hack project.

What would be "most popular" doesn't get a chance to be seen if a concerted minority flags certain kinds of articles, as it seems the parent post is suggesting.
Lots of apps out there like this at the moment, isolator, backdrop to name two. What these both lack is the ability to blur out background windows which you guys should definitely look into because that would be awesome to help people focus on the task at hand.

Sure. A follow-up question I would have asked: how do propellers work? By accelerating large volumes of air, force is generated according to Newton's Second Law. So do wings accelerate large volumes of air? Of course, as one can see at any airport, large vortices trail behind and below the wings of any airplane or glider. So how is a wing different than a propeller?

I thought, and Wikipedia confirms, that some naval architects in 1912 also used a bulbous bow. Quoting from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulbous_bow :

> Although the bulbous bow concept is credited to David W. Taylor, a naval architect who served as Chief Constructor of the United States Navy during the First World War and who used the concept (known as a bulbous forefoot) in his design of the USS Delaware, which entered service in 1910, there are earlier examples.

Continuing,

> The modern bulbous bow was developed by Dr. Takao Inui at the University of Tokyo during the 1950s and 1960s, ... It was eventually found that drag could be reduced by about five percent. Experimentation and refinement slowly improved the geometry of bulbous bows, but they were not widely exploited until computer modelling techniques enabled researchers at the University of British Columbia to increase their performance to a practical level in the 1980s.

I presume the experiments in the 1950s and 1960s were done experimentally, and the later CFDs validated through experiment. The WP page links to http://www.dieselduck.info/library/01%20articles/bulbous_bow... which says "Today, to see a large ship without a bulbous bow is a rare sight indeed. Their results have been proven over countless thousands of deep ocean miles in all kinds of weather by all kinds of vessels."

Thus, color me doubtful that this CFD run is meaningful.

I would certainly rather go to a Wawa than a Subway, though regrettably the closest Wawa to me is half an hour away. Luckily there is no shortage of independent sandwich shops near me, but sometimes I really just want the Wawa experience.
I think the point of "who is hiring" posts is to make it easier for people to find your job opening, not harder.
I don't eat much fast food but Subway is a chain that has always struck me as one where it seems as if the food should be a lot better than it is. I guess because so many independents have Italian, etc. subs that are so much better than Subway's. I'm not sure I would necessarily ascribe that superior experience to gas stations but certainly to any number of independent pizza joints and the like--even those that don't have especially good pizza.
Ironic to see the wealthiest, most celebrated practitioners of logic so determined to ignore facts incompatible with their beliefs.
Incremental computation is an interesting idea, and could be very useful to big data processing. However, the particular incremental technique of self-adjusting computation has two big flaws:

- There is a significant storage overhead due to all of the data that is collected about the computation (the "dynamic dependency graph").

- It makes the assumption that if the input to your algorithm changes a little, the execution path and intermediate variable values will still be the same for most of the computation. This is not true for many algorithms you might wish to make incremental.

I'm not necessarily saying these issues couldn't be overcome, but a lot more research is needed.

For some other alternatives to incremental computation that avoid these flaws (while introducing other problems of their own), you could look into:
