Never talk about cultural fit etc. That most likely sounds like "I complain too much about people that I work with". It may not be true at all but any potential hiring manager who does not know you well will have an inclination to be safe than sorry. It is the unfortunate reality.
On my iPhone 6 (8.4) a short video of what seems to be a metalworker pops up and loops when I open your link from the HN iOS app. Just thought you may want to know.
I use it for example to get a tcp stream. I then change it to a subclass, for example to a mailer stream. That way I don't need to tell the stream creating function which class it should use for the stream.
The times I interviewed at google it was made clear to me that I was interviewing for a position on a specific team, and not a general hiring pool. So far as I met most of the team members, maybe you are correct though and the team size was just very flexible.
Ideas are cheap, execution is difficult. Do you have any experience with actually running a business (e.g., sales, market research, advertising, accounting, hiring)? If not, why would your skills be useful to a tech-oriented person who wants to start a company? Why should someone give you equity in a company for just an idea when they'd be doing all the work to implement it?

Procrastination as a tool for Productivity
Obviously, I have no idea why I was rejected. If that is the case, no part of their interview tests what a lot of solid devs spend tons of their time doing in their career... solving problems. I have debugged countless problems. It's not sexy, not resume material, but it is reality. There are many, many very good devs working in smaller companies who have made a career out of getting things done. If Google isn't interested in people like that, I question that wisdom.

You also can't make a determination about "management material" by simply looking at a resume and seeing "they aren't a manager". Why am I not a manager, though? Because I still love development. It doesn't mean I don't mentor people. It doesn't mean I don't hold a lot of weight in determining how we do things.

I'm not really claiming ageism. I'm in my mid-30's. I'd be surprised if that was it. I do wonder if it's wise having 20-somethings interviewing people though.
According to the article, that experiment required physical access to the car; it was NOT a remote experiment like this one.
I have noticed an apparent chicken-and-egg problem in this space of the industry. Increasing numbers of companies want to embrace distributed teams, but they strongly prefer or only consider people who have worked remotely before. That makes it hard both to start out in remote work and to find people to fill your positions.

I used to play online scrabble using a desktop app built by the Internet Scrabble Club (isc.ro)[1]. If you go to a website called cross-tables.com [2], you'll see tournament results and rankings of top players in the world. I've played online games against nearly half the players currently listed on the top 20 in North America and the world. I haven't played regularly for years, so my current Scrabble skills are pretty poor, even though I did beat many of those guys the odd time in the past.

One day I even played a number of "speed" games (3 minute games, those were fun!) against Trey Wright, the winner of the National Scrabble Championship in 2004. IIRC, I beat him in one game, by a single point, while he thrashed me in the other 9 or so.

In order to compete against these guys, you have to basically learn words for no other reason than to use them in Scrabble games. Word definitions are useless. It's a bit of an addiction, and quite pointless, but it's fun when you actually end up playing a bizarre 8-letter word (e.g. OENOMELS) and win the game because of it.

It's absolutely true that language has little to do with being good at Scrabble. I used to play against Thai players who had very little knowledge of English but who knew way more English words than I did or ever will.

Of course, when online, you pretty much have to expect that people will cheat. Most of the time, the cheaters are obvious, because good Scrabble players recognize cheating when compared to real human game play.

As for Nigel, the guy's not human. I don't remember if he was ever on ISC (many of the top players were at some point), but everyone in the Scrabble world knows him and knows his uncanny word knowledge and Scrabble abilities.

And if anyone's interested in reading about the Scrabble tournament scene and the associated lifestyles, check out Stefan Fatsis' book "Word Freak"[3], probably the best Scrabble book ever written (although it does contain quite a few f-words, thanks to the colorful personalities that it describes, which I wasn't crazy about).

These examples show that the language is ambiguous. Coders need to cope with that, not pretend English has a good spec.

Proposal for Encoding Source-Level Environment Information Within Source Maps
I'd rather not install an app to read that, but presumably they are measuring who is better educated in math. I would expect the correlation to be mostly explained by different ethnic groups in the location the study was conducted having different access to education, cultural values, and expectations placed on them.

It would go a long way toward distinguishing between those two possibilities if a computer judged the faces - find the eigenface(s) of different mathematical ability levels and see if there's a lot of correlation between those and ethnicity, or if features alone are the predictor.

Even if it is features alone though, I would expect a major involvement of education and self-fulfilling expectations: take a starting state where there is no correlation between facial features and math aptitude. Everyone would have their own beliefs about what faces are good at math (humans always see patterns). Some of those beliefs would happen to be similar, so people with certain features would be steered more toward math. As time passes, the bias becomes more legitimate and more self-perpetuating. The end result is a socially-imposed link between particular visible traits and ability in math.
I have approached some angel investors for my ideas, but they told me I don't have technical background to be funded and I'm too much of risk for them. Then I started contacting my friends (computer engineering students) at college, but they were very reluctant to be part of a start-up cause majority of are looking to earn "quick money" to cover their debt for tuition fees.

If you are interested, and if you have technical background I'm perfectly willing to share my ideas with you. So what do you think?
This is so true. The first step is proving your idea out by doing things that don't scale. Create a landing page, get some email addresses, put things in a spreadsheet and process them manually. Figure out if the idea is a good one.

Additionally, being a "Business" major and being a programmer are not mutually exclusive. Give yourself an honest chance at learning how to program in Ruby using Rails. You won't create the most amazing technological solution, but if it works and is bringing in money, then what does it matter?
8 Types of Sales Acceleration Content You Should Create Today
Respectfully, I think programmer licensure is an oversimplification of the problem. Far more goes into the design of software systems than just the software. Product Management often wants things done a certain way. Hardware guys want things done their way.

Take this hacking example. Couldn't you imagine a situation in which, a licensed software engineer is pleading with PM to separate the entertainment system, from the controls? But, PM pushes back, and wins, on the account of cost savings?

JRuby 9000 Released featuring Ruby 2.2 Compatibility
You responded to a post about a person feeling alienated in their school by reminiscing about a pleasure trip to Asia while lamenting the death of chivalry. You missed the point while claiming that a person's opinion in invalid because you can't relate to it. You remind me of the guy I had in an econ class who said, "I don't understand why people hate airport security so much. If it's that bad they can just charter a private jet."

Not only does she feel like she doesn't belong there, she's not even allowed to feel like she doesn't belong there because you know better than she does about how she should feel.

And this is not about asking if you can help. This about the assumption that the person you see before you must be lost because they don't belong there. It's about the fact that most white CS geeks aren't used to seeing black women in their midst. I have a feeling that you picked up on this point (she makes it pretty plain) but the implications make you too uncomfortable, so you've taken the pedantic position of 'they're just trying to help' to avoid confronting the idea that maybe, just maybe, this boys' club we've built for ourselves ends up excluding some pretty talented people.

Also, the question I asked you wasn't rhetorical: why did you read this article and immediately decide that your experience, which doesn't relate to this person's at all (she being asked several times in her school if she's lost, you being asked once in a foreign country) deserved to be heard? Why do you insist on covering up someone else's experience with yours? Why do you feel like you get to dictate whether someone's emotions are correct or not?

> undermined public confidence in the legal system.

The real point is that, by and large, most people simply do not care. It is completely irrevelant, or they believe absurd things like a defendant surely did something wrong otherwise the case would not be at trial. Others have mentioned that prosecutors have immunity from civil suits; I would say that could be changed by the legislature explicitly making prosecutors liable. Short of that, prosecutors would need to be stopped by force in order to effect a just system.
Architecting Back end for a Social Product
What Smalltalk did to enable all of the above you mention: Certain facilities like networking had to be quiesced just prior to pickling, and then specially revived on return from snapshot. There were also special hooks for return from snapshot. (IIRC, there is a Smalltalk method of that name.)

Snapshots becomes much more powerful when combined with a transactional log of all changes. This gets around certain problems with de-synchronization of source files with the image. Smalltalks that abandoned the change-log and returned to conventional source files suffered for it. (Enfin/ObjectStudio)
I have been surprised at how many programmers left the industry to become farmers.
MongoDB heavily implied the linear scalability, consistency, reliability bit in its early material [particularly in their marketing].

Its only in the past couple years they really started mentioning the fact it was "tunable consistency" blatantly rather rather than burying it in a couple places in the manual.
Probably because he ran her plates and got a driving record and warrant check. That's why it takes so long between the first time a cop comes to your window and giving you the ticket.

As for why he didn't say so right away the second time, probably because she was making faces or otherwise indicating that she was mad. And that is when he starts asking more questions.

I bet the minute she refused to put out her cig, he was going to give her a real ticket.
5 Tips for Building a Startup While Keeping Your Full-Time Job
> Avoid state at all costs. Stored procedures are stateful.

Stored procedures are no more state than application code is.

> Write me a constraint and key arrangement which is unique across two and three columns in separate groups.

What does "unique across two and three columns in separate groups" mean? I get that its something more complex than a simple multicolumn uniqueness constraint, but not what it is supposed to do.

I suspect that whatever it is can be done with PostgreSQL -- possibly using the (relatively) new exclusion constraints -- but I can't quite be sure without more clarity on what you mean.
If you want to build a web product, you need to have some idea of how to go about it even on the technical side. Just saying "I'll handle the business part" will not get you any interest from good technologists. Also, you will most likely need a technical co-founder and not just freelancers because you are building a technology product as the core of your business.

I suggest you find that technical person who could start as a freelancer but could also potentially become your tech co-founder. Give them respect and remember that ideas are worth nothing. The execution matters and just like you have your part to play on the business side, the tech. person will have a very critical role as well. It is not just about "hey code me this app and I will make millions out of it".

Best advice I ever got from any engineer that actually caused me to start completing projects was "complicate as necessary, not as desired..."
Hey everyone,

I'm the co-founder & CTO of Ixchel Scientific - would love to answer any questions you may have about our company!
Yeah, this seems great if you want to completely eliminate the middle tier and have a client application talk directly w/ the database. I'm curious why there's an entire query API via query string parameters. Why not just expose a single POST /query endpoint where you can send some SQL?
For example if there is a high speed and low speed CAN bus or just one really does not matter cause of details about how it works.

It matters a lot. Typically, there is a gateway (in body or chassis controller) between the two (or three) buses. It puts some messages from the controller bus onto infotainment bus, but not the other way around. It's done specifically to prevent infotainment systems interfering with workings of the car.

If Jeep has everything running on the same bus, it's incredibly stupid.
I see.

"NCC's work - which has been restricted to its labs..."

"Mr Davis said he had simulated his DAB-based attack only on equipment in his company's buildings..."

"But he added that he had previously compromised a real vehicle's automatic-braking system ... by modifying an infotainment system, and he believed this could be replicated via a DAB broadcast."

So basically this is one of those non-stories where a researcher looking for some press coverage broadcasts a custom radio station with a name like 'LOL I HAKD UR CAR', then shows it - in an office - to a zero-knowledge reporter who is immediately impressed as if it was a demonstration of anything at all. Whereas actually it's just some bloke in an office saying "well I'm sure this is possible, I've never done it, obviously."

I'm reminded of the words of Travis Goodspeed... Proof Of Concept or GTFO.
You are absolutely right, I would not waste people's time if I did not have the experience. I have co-founded a non-profit institute where we helped young inventors, bring their inventions to market and raise fund for their research projects. We have now 107 active members in the institute, so yes I would say I have the experience.
So, I don't have the theory background a PhD candidate might, so forgive my ignorance, but why would a theory be expected to build on the already proven partial results? I was under the impression their use was as a quality heuristic, not something a proof of a lower bound of the general case could make much use of.
You completely missed GP's point. They are telling you that you're disillusioned in your belief that your million dollar ideas cannot be evaluated without a technical partner.

I hope you realize that nobody on this site is going to read what you wrote and want to work with you. You're too much of a risk.
Thanks! That's what I was planning to do, but the recruitement firm that would be paying me (and billing the client) is terrified of paying an invoice to a foreign firm, they are adamant about it. I might just have to go to the client directly, it's a company in the finance sector, I'm sure they can figure out how to send money to someone.

We've hired both "experienced" remote workers and "inexperienced" remote workers. I noticed that those with little to no experience working remotely are so excited (liberated?) working that way that it almost seem as if they are extra productive.
So I am hostage to my friends comments, or only people with bad judgement invite others?

Sounds odd to punish the inviter
If you post consistently, and I am looking with malice for things to semi-plausibly take offense at, I'll be able to find them.

For example, I took a look at your posting history here. In the first page, I found two things that I could have used to claim offense. (I won't say what they were, because it would require contortions that I don't want to have to go through, and because I'm not actually trying to do this to you.)
Enough already with the lame “tutorials”
Is it just me or are there way too many To Do List tutorials and "application boilerplates" floating about? It's great that people want to try out new frameworks, as I do all the time, but it would be much better if people tried building something a bit more detailed than the standard To Do app. And if you're going to do a To Do app, or any tutorial for that matter, it should include tests as testing is a priority when building real world applications.

There's a few different dictionaries. There's the official tournament word list (TWL or OWL), which has had different versions. The latest, I believe, is OWL2014. I think the version before that was TWL2, IIRC.

But those books are only available to tournament scrabble players who pay an annual fee. It's a bit elitist, but that's just how it is (unless it has changed lately).

Other than that, you can pick up a regular Scrabble game dictionary, usually called OSPD, which will not have any off-colour words in it. Those can be bought in any book store and you can even search the OSPD on Scrabble's official website.
Can anyone share actionable tips about how to make a better first impression?

Of course, much of beauty, attraction, first impression, etc is genetic, as this article points out. But what are some aspects that can be controlled? Anything from daily preparation stuff (what types of clothes we wear, what colors, to shave or not to shave) to the way we walk, or the way we talk, our facial expression, how we greet someone new, etc...

If anyone knows of some research or has any anecdotes, I'd like to hear of it!

That's what they said, because they didn't want to be rude. The fact is that "ideas guys" are a dime a dozen and they don't even know their ideas are unimplementable.
