If your startup is targeting influencers at blogs, why do you have pictures of Michael Arrington at TechCrunch and Arianna Huffington at Huffington Post, both of which have had nothing to do with their respective blogs for some time?

I also found it suspicious that you have reference to "as featured in" but it's an image and not a link, so I did a little digging. For your The Next Web feature, all Publicize has is participation in a pitching contest (http://thenextweb.com/voice/2015/04/14/all-75-startups-that-...) and an guest posts written by the CEO (http://thenextweb.com/entrepreneur/2014/11/22/tech-reporter-... and http://thenextweb.com/entrepreneur/2014/12/13/5-common-mista...). Neither would count as a feature.

Additionally, why do you have a Y Combinator logo under "our successes?" Having success with batch companies is a bit different than having success with the parent entity.
Diversity Debt: How Much Does Your Startup Have?
Companies start orbiting the same market as Autodesk and Autodesk acquires them. That's been their strategy for 25 years starting with Generic CADD. #DStudio and Maya were acquisitions Autodesk didn't kill off.

The only notable exception is Sketchup. Google bought it instead, just as it went from MVP to software product line. Conveniently for Autodesk, Google pulled the critical feature out of the entry version after a year or two (DXF/DWG support), let development on the professional version languish, and eventually ejected it as a drifting hulk after Revit gained enough traction for institutions to start requiring it as a delivery format for construction designs despite Revit's file format being closed proprietary.
> I keep reading horror stories about multi-day interviews with "take home tests" and other insanity

2 actual interviews that were offered to me early in my career :

1. The weekend hackathon (which actually ran from Friday until Monday)

2. The full-week trial

I took #1, but not #2. I was working at the time, and in no way could justify taking a week of vacation just to work for free for someone else.
> "I'm just pointing out that the ambiguity is real"

It's only ambiguous in the sense that science has been "ambiguously" using it correctly for decades. Somehow it's survived.

> "it will continue to be a problem until the definition in the context of web applications becomes widely enough known"

Which - outside of complaining about it in HN comments - it has. Hell there are entire startups and B2B companies that use it now.

Isomorphic has been used in this form for 5 years. Yes, maybe you could argue it was AirBnB that popularized it 2 years ago but that's still a damn long time of common usage.

That ship has sailed - long ago - any programmer who doesn't know what it means at this point just isn't paying attention.
The demise of hitchBOT: 'Bad things happen to good robots'
I know this is going to sound silly, but I'd go so far as to say that Spacemacs is one of the best editors ever made.

But it's not nearly as portable as vanilla vim. Even vim with several plugins, including vimproc and Unite, I've found is a lot more portable than Spacemacs. Spacemacs is a lot slower as well.

For me, unfortunately portability is really important, which is why so far nothing has been able to sway me away from my trusty tmux + vim + Unite combination.
You're right, with method overloading you would need to add something to the signature to indicate that one variant works in place - and that would be nasty. Your solution is nice.
I've never really understood the hype for Soylent. It does seem like a great idea for your earthquake kit, camping, etc, but as daily food? If I am rushed for time, I'll just grab an Odwalla smoothie or similar. Can someone educate me about what I am not getting from a decent smoothie that Soylent provides? (I am probably not the target demographic as I enjoy eating, and variety).
thanks, I've sent you an email
I'm really just an observer. The presentation smells far too much of local TV news ads. "This common soda ingredient could kill you! But we won't tell you which one until after sports and the weather!"

I don't really see the problem with letting people search without signing up. This isn't a security vulnerability, right? It's just "these apps will crash on the next OS version." Which anyone can find out for themselves if they get their hands on it and test the apps they're interested in.
As I was reading the post, I couldn't wait for him to swear again so the italics would be turned off.

Some thoughts:

What you call tabs are what vim calls buffers. (EDIT vim has something called tabs as well but they do something else.)

Completion press e.g. control-x (although I actually use a plugin here so I don't know how good vim's built in is).

Visual selection add
set mouse=a
to the .vimrc

Or using the "v" command

As a kid my parents took me to see the laser light show at the Grand Coulee Dam. I haven't been since but it left a lasting memory and I really want to go again.

This article made me think of it, because it is the largest dam in the US.

I put my resume online 10 days ago (I live in Austin). I've had over 200 companies/recruiters call me. There are a ton of software engineering jobs in Austin and all over. I've gotten over 30 calls for jobs in Dallas, San Antonio, Plano, etc.

Anyone saying there are no jobs in this area has a crappy resume or no skills
Mashgin Inc. (YC W15) | Computer vision engineer | Palo Alto, CA | Full-time onsite

At Mashgin, we apply advanced computer vision to real world problems, starting with retail checkout. Our kiosk uses computer vision to scan multiple items at once without barcodes or RFID, reducing checkout time by 10x. But that’s just the beginning -- we’re building the future of machine vision for all businesses.

We’re looking for someone with serious engineering skills that can help us fulfill the promise of computer vision in the real world. You should have experience writing vision algorithms in C++. Bonus points if you’ve worked with 3D cameras, multi-cam scene reconstruction, or machine learning. As the first non-founding engineer you’ll get the chance to shape the foundation of Mashgin.

We’re a team of 3 with previous experience in machine learning at Facebook and Microsoft, and computer vision for humanoid robotics at Bell Labs and Toyota. We’re well funded from top investors following YC W15, and are working hard on getting our machines production ready for our first customers.

Right now we’re in a small office in downtown Palo Alto. But we plan on growing fast so things will change quickly. Uncertainty abounds: “...constant danger, safe return doubtful, honor and recognition in case of success.” (You'll be well compensated with a competitive salary and equity-based upside, comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage. But yeah... honor and recognition, too.)

We have big ideas for where Mashgin is headed and we would love for you to be involved. If you’re interested in joining the team email us at: jobs@mashgin.com
I believe Amazon knew about all the sharing that was going on but waited until there was enough users hooked to pull the trigger. An example of another company where people share accounts is Netflix which I think will do something similar to Amazon in the near future.
You have failed to demonstrate that the quality of television shows has declined over time. There are many excellent current television shows, along with lots of bad shows. But this has always been the case. The difference is that the only old shows that people remember are the good ones; all the old dross is forgotten, whereas with current TV it's there for all to see.
I seem to have unconsciously trained myself not to see ads, especially after seeing ads for sit-stand desks after I had bought one. (Oh yeah, like I need another one of those!)
One thing I'd stress: Start with Vim for side tasks, not to replace Sublime. Once you have the basics down, you can then layer on the IDE features (addons like Ag, NerdTree, CtrlP) that make Vim comparable to what you are used to in Sublime.

I'm happy to act as a coach for you (and anyone else), if it's helpful. If you have a good plan of attack, you can get Sublime-like functionality pretty quickly.
Agreed. There is nothing wrong with the growing richness of the underlying web platform (the gist of the article). GPS, 3D graphics and what not all enhance the user experience.

The challenge is that languages, frameworks, and tooling are are not shielding the developer from the growing complexity.

The level of abstraction is rather poor , so that for any
any non trivial web application, you quickly do need to know the gory details of CSS, layouts, web components, shadow vs. lite DOM, and so on.

I agree with the premise of the article (we can't stop the forward progress of the web ), but we desperately need better tools.

Designing for Performance: Weighing Aesthetics and Speed
That's the problem, there are not many (some fridges designed to be operated from car plugs, camping gear, things like that) and often is just an appliance that has a converter inside, so it is as inefficient as you'd expect. Not sure if there's a way to design stoves, fridges, ovens and washing machines powerful enough just using DC, though.

If I understand the article, the goal of the site is not merely to provide a toolkit for collaboration but to build a community around it - which is critical if they want to achieve adoption.

With Gitxiv, two minutes after following the link and reading the blurt, I have access to a continuous stream of projects organized in categories, to which I can post comments - in essence, it's a blog focused on CS news, which also can be used to kickstart collaboration. This already provides me with value even if I don't intend to use the platform. It's a neat approach for filtering the noise and providing a strong signal.
"ProgrammableWeb had no trouble using the free app -- called SSL Packet Capture -- to not only intercept and decrypt those transmissions, but to discover sensitive and supposedly confidential information like API keys and OAuth tokens....."

I keep on reading these kinds of articles where its getting easier to get access to the application data. I think more needs to be done in the realm of security .

Justworks - New York NYC ONSITE

Justworks is hiring across the board (engineering [front-end, back-end, iOS], sales, marketing, product, design). https://www.justworks.com/careers/

We're building tools that help startups and SMBs compete with larger companies by giving them access to the same tools and benefits larger companies have. We process millions of dollars a month in payroll, provide access to healthcare that is significantly less expensive than standard small group rates, and also automate tons of the really difficult and time consuming parts of running a business (tax filing, workers comp, epli, etc.).

We've raised over $20M from Bain Capital (Linkedin), Thrive (Instagram, Kickstarter), and Index (Facebook, Dropbox, Soundcloud). The company is led really well by ex-Amazon, Etsy, Tumblr, and Groupon execs.

I love working here - happy to answer any questions!

The Head of Engineering is a critical position for us (our third full-time hire), and will impact all aspects of our company. You'll be hiring, mentoring and managing a team, as well as managing our tech roadmap and spending a small part of your time as an individual contributor. Ruby on Rails expertise is a requirement, as is prior experience managing a team.

We've recently joined John Hancock USA as part of their long term innovation plan. We seek to combine the best of a startup - small team, great technology, lots of fun and a fantastic culture - with the benefits of an industry leading firm - including very competitive benefits/comp and the ability to see our technology deployed rapidly across millions of households worldwide.

To start a conversation - drop us an email at info@guidefinancial.com with a brief note about yourself, why you think you'd be a good fit and a resume.

I still look at this, and the whole LC encoded structures, with amazement. I love how things are mutually molded together and almost empty. Most of the LC felt that way, accumulation of lots of nothingness that achieve something.

LevelStory | Senior iOS/Android Contractor | Seattle, WA | REMOTE | 2 - 6 months | levelstory.com

We're an online project management service for general contractors focused on the remodel and renovation industry. We're currently building out our mobile experience for employees so they can track their tasks and log their hours while at the job site. We have an existing iPhone app and are looking for an experienced mobile developer to make improvements and help us develop an Android version.

Experience with both iOS (Objective-C) and Android is required. Having previously ported an iOS app to the Android platform would be excellent. Experience with working with REST APIs, AWS S3, and push notifications would be nice.

If you're interested, you can contact me directly at bill@levelstory.com for more information or to apply. If applying, please include your CV / Githb / links to projects / etc, as well as your availability and day rate.
Car batteries simply aren't designed for deep-discharge. It actually damages (sulphates) them. They're designed to provide thousands of cycles at 2-5% discharge. Using them for deep discharge, you're likely to see them increasingly unusable (or at least, holding nowhere near the designed charge) after 30-150 cycles.

So that 420Wh battery is most likely designed to actually provide about 21Wh. Past that it's a good assumption it's lifespan is being degraded faster than design.

To match a 7kW powerwall with these figures, he'd need roughly 350 such batteries (nearly $23k) to stay within a 2-5% discharge cycle.

So his setup may be capable of delivering 420Wh cheap. Or it may be capable of lasting 1-2000 cycles. But not both.

(Deep-discharge SLA are available. They're usually marketed as marine batteries rather than car batteries. They'll survive such usage better - a couple of years, rather than a couple of months in this scenario. But still not tesla's claimed 5000 cycles.)
Ask HN: Should I bother interviewing at Google?
A recruiter approached me for a quantitative analyst, engineering position. I come from an academic background, and I've used code in my research but I am most definitely not a software engineer. I'm pretty confident that I'm NOT going to pass the interview if questions come up relating to software engineering principles. Should I still bother with continuing with the interview process, or should I decline and wait until I am more confident about my ability?
It is however a description of an immature attitude, cop'd by young people growing up in a massively subsidized society, and used to justify their selfishness.

We've only had two modes of standards development in recent history. Bugger all (the age of IE6/Firefox/IE7) and constant churn (pretty much since the iPhone/Chrome was released).
