There are some nonprofit job search engines (just search something like "nonprofit jobs"), but another way is to pick an issue you feel strongly about, and then do some web searching to find orgs that are working on that issue. Then check their job listings to see what they're looking for.

Nonprofits tend to not grow very fast, so there might not be a job that's exactly what you want to do. If you can find one or two orgs you like, you can get your foot in the door through volunteering first.

There is also a healthy ecosystem of companies that provide support to nonprofits. Nonprofits often outsource parts of their technology, so another way to get into the nonprofit world is through a digital agency. I would try looking for tech jobs in the DC area--a lot of the companies in DC that support nonprofits will happily hire remote developers, project managers, etc.
Conveniently there are no laws (currently) that compel people to support or vote only for either of the two big parties.

A subtle point that seems to be lost on most of my fellow citizens. Mind, it seems to be a regrettably common misconception elsewhere in the world too.

That's not so much a computing power limitation but a limitation imposed by the manufacturers on what you can run. The Nokia N900 had Linux running on it in 2010.

If you're one of the lucky few with an Ubuntu phone, you can do this as well.
They'll huff and puff about this for a little while to give the illusion of surprise and indignation, but after the dust has settled and any offences have been swept under the rug, it'll be back to business of taking orders from the NSA while hoping their dirt stays hidden and no challenges to their legitimacy are posed. Same as Germany.

Not to mention I've never had a piece of chalk dry out.

Seems whenever I try to use a whiteboard, the first 5 markers I try don't write and I have to spend 15 minutes hunting for spares.

And if you have a "sort of working" marker, which is what I'd usually end up with, it won't write very dark and the whiteboard text has worse contrast than a chalkboard.
I'm a writer and consider myself to understand people pretty well, so I didn't think I'd benefit. Lo and behold, my JD scores were 80ish. Not terrible, but room for improvement. I re-wrote 5 of them using the tool and not only were they so much shorter and more compelling, but I got many more applicants from a bigger pool w/o having to use a headhunter (which is a huge cost savings by itself). We are now using this to re-write all of the JDs in my bigger org.

One other thing I'm going to do is use the tool for a bunch of our website copy. That's not quite the same as JDs, but I do want to understand the "tone" we're using.

Totally worth the $99/month.
So these C1 ARM servers are built in house, I gather. Their features page says "true dedicated hardware", but I wonder how well those 18 servers on each board are isolated. IPMI could be a disaster.

For the first time Erlang 18 shipped under Apache License 2.0, it will likely have a meaning for Erlang's future development. The Industrial Erlang User Group has spent quite some effort on that.
The blinders must have been on... fixed & thank you :)
Two really nice enhancements are efficient large maps and being able to use variables as keys in maps.

Also switching to the Apache license will make adoption of Erlang/Elixir more possible for certain organizations.

Elixir also gets to reap any performance improvements at runtime and compilation.
One of the reasons there are so many alternatives is that many of us have been begging Slack for a self-hosted version for over a year and they are completely ignoring our requests. We want to give them a lot of money but apparently they don't want it.
I've seen those people everywhere, for decades. They suck.

I don't think I've been dogmatic. Maybe stubborn. I have been a very difficult person, and that almost cost me my job.

I've been on antidepressants for awhile, and I have a completely different inner and outer life. Besides my mental health, it's allowed me the space to see that most decisions don't matter all that much. Everyone wants to get the job done, and whatever is decided, the job will get done, for better or worse.

It's also taught me that when other people suck, it might be because of other issues. For me it was depression. Other assholes may be depressed, or have some other condition, or some stress in their lives that they aren't currently able to handle well. They may be overwhelmed by something.

Or they might just be assholes. But it doesn't matter much either way. Find a way to live with them or leave.

I think the questions imply one side of the argument. I thought there's one reasonable side to this argument. Then I was a stubborn person one day. Why?

Because someone wrote an SQL query with string interpolation of variables and no escaping. Why? Because the values at that time were actually coming from a limited set and were safe to provide that way. Yet I argued that it should be a prepared query anyway, so that we avoid it potentially exploding in the future.

Was he right that it doesn't matter at the time - yes. Would I be the annoying, stubborn, difficult person who knows better again in a similar situation? Yes! And I know some people will be angry about it while others will agree with me. That's life.
Hi there! You and your team can use it to easily collaborate on customer support, sales, hiring etc... It's currently used by 12 companies who participated in our private beta. Now we want more users to try out the app so we can get more feedback. This is the private beta signup page that we used - http://signup.gleehq.com/ . You can check it out to get more info like how the dashboard looks. Signup an signin to try the app, it's working, we just didn't have the time to design the home page :)

MSFT still sells security updates for Windows 2000, It would not surprise me if you'll peal enough layers in a large organization to find NT5/4 machines still there which require the sacrifice of 3 goats and a virgin every full moon to continue running which might still get updates from MSFT since that organization pays for the extended support.

The only thing that surprising in these stories is that MSFT is actually capable of providing support for products for such a long time, their ability to maintain information and transfer it to new employees must be unparalleled.
The amount of documentation alone is probably enormous 12 years of 10000's of bugs for each specific version of each binary that's insane, especially considering that most companies out there will have issues supporting binaries which are 2 years old since they have no clue what exactly was going on with them back then.
> So what if anyone can come and go.

Nope. The border needs to be secure. There are people who hate the US and have committed violence against its people. This is a basic security problem and open borders would be a disaster. Your city argument is bunk, we are a country under a common Constitution, not a collection of city-states.

> And by the way, you can get smuggled into the US via the Mexican borders for like a couple thousand bucks

Yep, and the government needs to do everything in its power to shut that down. Illegal immigration hurts the chances of any legal immigration package.
> I'd be open to hearing your criticism of policies that allow Disney to have [American] workers train their foreign replacements that don't invoke any sort of xenophobia or racism.

If their replacements were white guys from Texas it would still be equally humiliating and offensive for people to be asked to train their lower-wage, less-skilled replacements as a condition for receiving severance. Come on. And unlike citizens, people on work visas have no real leverage to negotiate for higher wages (since their work visas are tied up with the company they work for or at least their ability to find a new sponsor), so the idea that they couldn't possibly suppress wages seems silly.
This has been posted and discussed several times on HN and I consider it to be the best approach:

From personal experience I love Basecamp and Trello for project management. I've also tried Wrike but it wasn't as seamless as the other two.

I also use Hubstaff for tracking my time and getting time reports. I used to just guesstimate how much I should bill clients but that was such a headache.

I haven't used it personally but I also hear good things about Insightly.

Perhaps this is a good time to float the idea that developers should have a transfer market, like footballers, with the associated talent development process.

It would then be worthwhile to train and improve your employees, as they become a tradeable capital-like asset rather than a form of labour.

(The downside might be greater difficulty in quitting toxic employers; perhaps another job for the standards body / union.)
Something you may find interesting is that the new faster maps are loosely based on Rich Hickey's HAMT implementation that is used in Clojure. Jose and co. in Elixir adapted/is-adapting their internals to use maps as well, as they were faster than any implementation they had.

In addition, I wrote a full QuickCheck model for the new maps. That is, we randomly generate unit test cases for the maps and verify them. We have generated several millions of those test cases, including variants which heavily collides on the hash. This weeded out at least 10 grave bugs from the implementation, which in turn means this release is probably very stable with respect to maps.
I find comments like this really strange.

Firstly, I wouldn't be surprised if things like this are quietly ignored for the sake of diplomacy.

Secondly, this fairness isn't the objective here, it's being ahead. The perfect situation, as far as any reasonable spy agency is concerned, is we can spy on others but others can't spy on us.
I can't agree more. For whatever reason, this seems to be an area where everybody feels qualified to give advice (in many cases, it seems to be older people who have not interviewed in a long time who advise any younger / fresh graduate who will listen).

Examples:

* Customize your resume for each job you apply to.

This is completely impractical these days, when any given job is likely to attract hundreds of resumes, and your chances of getting a response from any single application are slim. It's far more practical to work on something generic and breif that you can use for any appealing job in your field, and go into more detail if and when an interview is held. Also, if you have to bend their skills and experience in different ways for different jobs, you're probably applying for positions that you're a marginal fit for, instead of waiting for finding a job that you're a better, obvious fit for on the basis of your generic, undoctored resume.

* Always wear a suit to the interview.

Again, often said, but a gross simplification. Obviously you need to dress well for the part, but in many industries / cities, you'll end up on the other side of the table from a guy in jeans and a T-shirt, and have a tough time building a connection.

Definitely worth taking any advice in this area with a huge grain of salt unless it's really from an expert in the relevant area.

Something not discussed is long term food fads. You could get me to eat pop tarts and pizza rolls in the 80s because they were new. I knew they were bad, but new and interesting enough to try. Pizza rolls in 2015? Dude I was eating those when Reagan was president, boring, try my homemade carnitas instead. Unfortunately I go food shopping every week, and there isn't anything processed that is interesting enough for me to try for a couple years. I'm always looking for something interesting, but there isn't anything new.

Specifically, I'm claiming processed foods follow a fad trajectory, unlike, say, apples or steak, and fad trajectory shows natural decay over time, and there simply are no new processed food fads that are gaining traction.

The closest thing I can find to a current processed food fad, is about a year ago there was an attempt to push greek yogurt into freaking everything, but that seems to have failed. A few years ago there was a push for ready to eat rice on shelf stable bags, but that kind of rice tasted like contaminated styrofoam so I only bought it a couple times.

Its hard to believe but just a few decades ago things like frozen pizza, hot pockets, and pop tarts were new and vibrant food fads. What we call processed food in 2015 was actually NEW in maybe the 80s. There just isn't anything new anymore.
In Canada you can just camp out on crown land. We have so much extra space its mind boggling.
I think a patch for this would be welcomed. Usually there are some subtle complications from such ports which tend to also affect other systems. So fixing it in one place often helps other porting efforts as well.

I thought it used WebGL to render animations.
To be fair, most of this stuff existed before even Javascript was a thing.
Uhm, there is a screenshot in the README, both for mobile and a desktop browser. Maybe we could move it up a bit more. As for the design, sure, you're right that it matters. We try to keep it as clean and intuitive as possible, but none of the core devs is a designer, so we just do it as best as we can. Ideas for improvement (or even pull requests) are always greatly appreciated!

For third party services, Glowing Bear has a number of plugins that embed various content right in the conversation (images, youtube, spotify, etc). Not sure if that's what you're referring to.

> This exists already. It's called "F-1 OPT".

By all accounts, it doesn't work worth a crud in its current form.

> That's what the H1B is.

My friends on H1B's couldn't switch jobs freely. H1B transfers are just trading indentured servants and not a good thing for freedom of the person.

> Also your pining for work visas to be "abolished" without offering a meaningful alternative is equivalent to pining for no skilled immigration.

I have never heard of anyone advocating abolishment of the H1B without a transition for those in the system and having a replacement. Don't try to phrase it like I am against immigration. The current systems don't work for people coming here or US workers.

> A lot of international students who study here, and graduate from U.S. schools end up effectively getting deported because of the quota on H1B visas.

Seems the F-1 OPT isn't working.

True, but it depends on what you want to do with it. I can run Linux on an Intel Edison board (did some Python and C++ programming on one last weekend), but I wouldn't dare to try to write code on anything heavier than vim.
The BBC is blog spam yes. It quotes Kreb's article, which happens to be almost exactly the same, except BBC removed links to the advisory, etc.

Edit: in response to TazeTSchnitzel to whom I cannot reply. If BBC included a link to the original post or the actual security advisory I would be less likely to call it blog spam, but I stand by my classification. It is a repost without the sources and with less information (notably a warning to users about the McAfee opt out among other things).
> So they're raking in a nearly guaranteed $44k/yr from the Federal government for every vet they enroll.

Not exactly. The GI bill doesn't pay anywhere near $44k for New York State. The federal government is not picking up the tab.

I acknowledged the dearth of financial aid in my post, and that's something that they're desperately working on. GS is not as well endowed, which would be the solution to this. If you want to be cynical, fine, but the question of how much money GS has is different from how they're actually spending it.

This is the downside of being a separate school, yes, though with the aforementioned very notable exception of the endowment issue, GS students and faculty overwhelmingly favor this model.

In any case, the topic of this conversation was prisoners and convicts, not veterans. I merely mentioned them because they're a large part of GS and GS has a history of accepting disonorably discharged veterans, which is tantamount to convict status.

If the world went on following that agreement, then (I doubt?) you're the kind of person that the OP is talking about. If you had that disagreement and then let it color your team interactions for the next week, if you couldn't let it go, and if you harped on it for the next several weeks, then you'd probably be the annoying and difficult person.

Working with other people means obvious disagreement, and sometime your disagreement will be productive and cause change, and other times it won't. Theres a lot of people who cross the fine line of productive discourse and unproductive disagreement though, and there's some people that seem to thrive on the other side of that line in this industry -- I imagine that's the attitude that a lot of people find off-putting.
It's not blog spam. That would be needless, spammy content duplication to the same audience. But the BBC has a much wider audience than Krebs.
I don't think you're being fair here. Law enforcement has trouble crossing national borders, for one thing (especially in the case of Mexico where organized criminals have outright bought off lots of politicians). I don't think people who look at big drug-related massacres in Mexico on the news and feel worried about cartels entering the US are necessarily bigots.

> And by the way, you can get smuggled into the US via the Mexican borders for like a couple thousand bucks. There's a whole industry around this. The people who do the smuggling are called 'coyotes". Any serious terrorist is already here, via that border.

You're making this sound easier than it is. Lots of people die trying to do this now.
