What Developers Should Know About Job Searching and Negotiation
|
His advice flies in the face of every negotiation course/book. Yes, you must know the range they are willing to pay; but once you know... you don't wait for them to make an offer, you ask something at the high end of what they're willing to offer, possibly above (but close enough to) the higher margin(* ).The one who first names the price forms the baseline of negotiation. Say their range is 100-140k. If you say, "tell me what you would pay" and they say 100K, you're screwed, no way you can say "150k" from there and still be taken seriously. If OTOH you say 150k at the start and are lucky enough to get the answer "no way we can give you more than 140k", from there it's a simple job of asking for an extra concession that you know they can make ("Hmm... ok, say I could accept 140k, but only if the company allows me to WFH when I need to")( *) Of course, not from the start. He's right about that. They need to be invested in the hiring - if they already spent a lot of effort trying to assess your skill before making an offer, you're in a much better position to ask a lot. Presuming that they like you, of course.

Running a Tor Exit Node for Fun and E-mails
|
Regarding the saturation of free socket ports. I see that KeyWeb gives you 2 IP addresses per vServer (and IPv6 enabled, which I assume means a whole /64). Wouldn't it have been easier to configure Tor to bind to only a single IPv4 address and use the other one for administrative login? As far as I understand the Linux network stack, port exhaustion happens on a per-address base. So even if Tor (or anything else) exhausts all the connection ports for one address you should still be able to get back in via the other address.

Working remotely, coworking spaces, and mental health
|
For my job(s) the last 8 years or so, I've had a mix of on-site (10%), travel (40%) and work-from-home (the remainder). There have been very long stretches when I'm neither in the office, nor travelling to meet with customers, however -- sometimes, months. From my standpoint, I can commiserate with the author here. I live out in the hinterlands with my wife and 6 kids, so there's no shortage of social interaction -- however if I've been stuck here for 6 weeks, I begin to get a little stir crazy. I "recharge" by going to trade shows/events/meetups in NYC (which is about an hour and a half away) -- the energy of the city is refreshing, but I wouldn't want to put up with it every day. Just once in a while...

Politics divides us. The more we can do together whilst holding opposing world views the better.If the left didn't excommunicate anyone they disagree with maybe there would be more a chance to have reasoned political discussions, but so far, anywhere online where there is a left-wing community, all opposing viewpoints are silenced.

Be likeable or get fired
|
I have found myself in a similar situation. The caveat though is that when hired in I was the replacement for the individual everyone liked. So from day 0, I was disliked. This, put me behind the eight ball with not ever having even the slightest chance to ever get to share my knowledge and experience to anyone. I found myself labeled with having a communication problem, due to my other coworkers gossip and hearsay spread behind my back.The truth of the matter, is even if you are more technologically ahead, on par or behind you counterparts in a company you are screwed when you are not liked.There are only a handful of people I have met that are truly honest, with themselves and others. In which leaves everyone else never being capable of accepting new or different ideas, or to the point any type of criticism because they honestly can not do a self reflection.People are more likely to believe in lies, than the truth.If you find yourself not being liked, regardless of the reason you became not liked it is time to go. Be it on day one, or day 999+If you find your suggestions, comments, criticism, are not received, do not argue with idiots and try win your case with a follow up. If they were not receptive with a feel-felt, or pathos,ethos,logos forms of communication then your going through and exercise of futility.My suggestion for anyone before even thinking of accepting a new position, during the interview ask the following,1.why is the position open? Growth? Replacement of a but in a seat? If the later; ask was it a resignation or a termination.2. Ask could I have or see a employee handbook? You can gleam a lot about company culture just by reading. Red flags on things like dress code restrictions (when the position my not ever be public facing). Ie a long exhausting list of can not wear. Unfair things like banning shorts, but not banning skirts. Dress code should be just stated by job role, business professional, business casual, relaxed business casual, casual. Look for phrases/wordings that might lend towards management deciding to not deal flexibly per employee, as that the management/leadership has taken a stance that a past employee ruined it for everyone style. Look for anything that will make you uncomfortable working there.3. Ask for their SDLC documentation/process/methodology, coding style guidelines, and the technology stack they use? If the can’t produce or speak in detail or are vague on details. another red flag, that they might be cowboy coding, silo building, bus factor of one per process, etc... you want to make sure you are not walking into a environment with a nightmare scenario where it is a one to one of a single dev to a project and only that dev touches/knows anything about it. As that there is typically resource constraints, poor to no time allocation for code revise,testing, documentation. As well a the technical debt/corner cutting that goes along with not having good project/sdlc management practices.4. What is the process for changing the any of the current sdlc, methodology,practices, guidelines,etc...? Explain that you’ll be the fng (freaking new guy/gal) and that you will be bringing your knowledge in, as well as absorbing the new to you sdlc,process,yadda yadda and you want to understand how new and possibly different ways of doing things (innovation) is incorporated. You are trying to spot what the parent article fell into, by avoiding becoming the unliked team member. You also want to know if the think the word “standard” means etched in stone, never changing. Standards do change, and are revised. I have never seen a standard that does not have a revision number.5. Blantently ask; what is your stance on open source software? Followed up with what is your take on Microsoft moving to open source and being a Linux foundation member? You want to make sure you know if they are current in the tech news and events. You want to make sure they are not using dead technology stacks, or SSIS for things beyond it’s intention,or have drank the MS kool-aid from 10-20 years ago and missed the memo that they were wrong about Linux being a cancer. Your also trying to spot the I got a tech job mindset, I know only XYZ and have lost the ability to learn and stay up to date with current trends in the industry. IE there is no such job title as database admin, database administration is a hat/role the devOps, software engineers wear when needed. You do not want to find yourself having to use ssis for application development when it is a database management tool, or having to maintain sql stored procedures that on average 5000~ lines long because they only learned t-sql. You are trying to spot if the company is a right tools for the right job, or we spend 200,000 on a hammer so everything is hit with the hammer.Final thoughts; to avoid the problems I once encountered as well as what the parent post went through. Walk-in to any interview you get with the mindset of “You are interviewing them, they are not interviewing you.” Go in with good questions about the company, culture like I suggested above to see if they are a good fit for you and the working conditions you want to work or work best under. Be honest, be humble, don’t bullshit, and it’s ok to say I don’t know I would have to research and learn. End of the day, If the answer seems like a no, then it’s a no, don’t waste your or their time.

For some reason i'm not the biggest fan of vim on a computer.

It's the only realy solution i've found for doing small amounts of programming on my phone. Nothing big, but for small hundred line or so, scripts and such vim is definitely the best thing i've found to use on android.

Show HN: Python package to collect normalized news from almost any website
|
As others have noted, this doesn't seem to collect the full article text, just stuff that you would get from an RSS fee. From the title, I expected something more like newspaper3k[0]. I used that for an NLP class during undergrad to collect full-text news articles, in conjunction with Selenium (many mainstream sites don't work with just plain wget or requests).Lately I've starting using EpubPress[1] to grab full-text articles and generate an ePub, which happens every night via cron. Then I can get a full digest on my iPad over sftp at my leisure. Sadly EpubPress is not very sophisticated, sites like Bloomberg or ArsTechnica return "are you a robot" challenges which it can't bypass.I wish there was some kind of community driven library for retrieving full-text articles from common sites. In my vision of how that would work, users would contribute hand-crafted Selenium scripts to download and extract the article text, bypassing the bot-detection for each site. Then something like EpubPress would work a lot better.The "modern web" just has too much junk to be interesting any more. Sometimes news sites publish articles I would like to read, but I'm not interested in dealing with 1000 different implementations of crappy mobile UIs, advertisements, animations, etc. I know reader view exists, but you still have to wait for the page to load, and it doesn't work very well for some sites. For the sites it doesn't break with, the experience with EpubPress is much better.0 - https://github.com/codelucas/newspaper1 - https://epub.press/

An important aspect of life for many of us is the opportunity to be a moral agent. Being a successful moral agent as part of a profession in the world I know is not an easy goal to achieve. Diehl deserves kudos for posting this so that young people planning a career can be aware of some possible pitfalls and negative moral influences down the road when they include particular technological skill sets in their long-term road-maps.I'm generally not in a technological workplace as I once was, but my recollection (from circa 1990) is that the ACM and the software section of the IEEE each had codes of ethics for their members to consult when knotty problems of good vs evil arose. Do current versions of those codes contain anything that might assist a responsible professional addressing the issues that Diehl describes?

Google researcher, long out of math, cracks devilish problem about sets

> Still, for some of the authors of the follow-up papers, getting to 38% was relatively straightforward, and they wondered why Gilmer didn’t just do it himself. The simplest explanation turned out to be the correct one: After more than a half-decade out of math, Gilmer just didn’t know how to do some of the technical analytic work required to pull it off.> “I was a bit rusty, and to be honest, I was stuck,” Gilmer said. “But I was eager to see where the community would take it.”> Yet Gilmer thinks the same circumstances that left him out of practice probably made his proof possible in the first place.This reminds me of the principle of Shoshin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShoshinThe idea that the mindset of a beginner can sometimes find insight where the mind of an expert cannot, and that experts should cultivate thinking like a beginner in some instances.

Tron Legacy: how the special effects were done

The computer visuals were great. One thing that I caught, being the complete nerd that I am: if you look closely at the terminal that Sam sits down at before going on-grid, there is a copy of top running. It reports the system uptime as a few days (9?) even though that system was supposed to be up for years.Rebooted Tron for a kernel upgrade?The rest was great though, and I smiled too. I wonder if the author knew how his terminal footage was going to be used...Cillian Murphy's actions were entirely plausible in context.

This paradigm is very powerful. The only thing I see missing from these types of interfaces is the ability to select part or all of the output and use it as input for a new command.Think of it as an intermediate step of piping where the user has the ability to manually filter content. This UI concept would cover the vast majority of UI needs as almost any workflow could be captured with the following...1.) Issue command that produces 0..N results.
2.) View results in list format.
3.) Select individual results for details view.
4.) Select 0..N results as input to a subsequent command.

See Your Folks
|
I am happy that this sort of condition is relatively rare in India, from where I hail. Most of us stay with parents and share homes and love. In fact, staying away from parents never even occurred to me before I came in touch with the Western culture that derides staying with parents. At first it seemed rather selfish to me that kids abandon their parents, almost like what happens in the animal kingdom. But later I realized that it's a cultural thing. And there's no judgement passing on either.The only sad thing is that in India, if you abandon your abusive parents, it's looked down upon. In the West, if you stay with your angel like parents it's still derided. Hope this changes both ways.

A Software Engineer’s Adventures in Learning Mathematics
|
The article title could be "Why and How to Learn On Your Own" and the points it makes are absolutely correct. Constantly find new things to explore and learn, and never be intimidated by just how daunting those things may seem.

How to get hired at a startup when you don't know anyone
|
My approach. Either do the job (I'm a marketer and built a landing page for one company with bootstrap to show I could), or find a common connection. In my current job, the hiring manager formerly worked with a good friend of a guy I helped out 4 years ago evaluate two job offers. that's how weak ties work. Also the benefit of paying it forward, never know how that connects back to you.

“My wife has complained that OpenOffice will never print on Tuesdays” (2009)
|
One of our users complained that she could no longer print PDF documents. Everything else, Word, Excel, graphics, worked fine, but when she printed a PDF ... the printer did emit a page that - layout-wise - pretty much looked like it was supposed to, except all the text was complete and utter nonsense.Or was it? I took one of the pages back to my desk, and later in the day I had an idle moment, and my eyes wandered across the page. The funny thing is, if I had not known what text was supposed to be on the page, I would not have noticed, but the text was not random at all. Instead, all the letters had been shifted by one place in the alphabet (i.e. "ABCD" became "BCDE").I went back to the user and told her to check the little box that said "Print text as graphics" in the PDF viewers printing dialog, and voila - the page came out of the printer looking the way it was supposed to.Printing that way did take longer than usual (a lot longer), but at least the results were correct.To this day, I have no clue where the problem came from, and unfortunately, I did not have the time to investigate the issue further. I had never seen such a problem before or after.In a way it's part of what I like about my job: These weird problems that seem to come out of nowhere for no apparent reason, and that just as often disappear back into the void before I really understand what is going on. It can be oh-so frustrating at times, but I cannot deny that I am totally into weird things, so some part of me really enjoyed the whole experience.

I was planning on going through Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning by Bishop, for those who have gone through this PDF, which do you think is more useful for learning data science?

Regular meditation may be more beneficial than vacation
|
I know a startupper who struggled for almost 10 years, then started meditation and yoga practises and then in less than 1 year the startup growed significantly and eventually got sold successfully. That was me. Was it a coincidence ?

Disassembling Sublime Text
|
> draw_debug> A boolean that if true enables a special debugging text renderer. It seems to turn sections of the document either blue or red, and within the sections it turns tokens alternating light and dark shades of those colours. Note you have to set the setting to false to turn it off, not just delete it. These change sometimes when scrolling and editing but I can’t figure out when and why.That sounds exactly like GPU layers in web development - green is GPU accelerated, red is unaccelerated.

Rust's 2017 Roadmap

I'm really on board with this roadmap. I'm actually quite impress to see a language publish such a clear direction, they have really good focus, and if they keep this focus year over year, Rust will become a really great language.
