As far as I know, by definition (coming from someone with a predominately Java background) concurrency requires multi-core processors, or, for example, a distributed application with at least 2 nodes that communicate with the same central s

Honestly, the question I'm more interested in is how they hide their tracks. From my knowledge, this can be done with a lot of "geographical" effort by going to public locations that are random and far enough from a person's normal routine,

Yes, this exactly, I think this was just on Reddit the other day as I remember reading about this

Awesome, yeah, actually I'm planning to move to the SF Bay Area soon, I'm from northern California originally and want to get back there, I think living further out and using BART to get into SF would be fine as it would give me some time t

I've thought about doing something like this but I've realized I just can't until I figure out a better commuting situation, either having a very short commute or using public transportation. Sitting in traffic for almost an hour on the way

by devs1010 15y ago
Well, northern California is a large area, I've checked the area where I grew up (its along I-80, about 70 miles from SF but it would be an awful commute) and its only about 10-20% more to rent a house there than where I am now, but you're

The issue is that a 1BR or studio doesn't fit my lifestyle. Where I live now, out of state, I have a 3 bedroom house, a girlfriend and a bunch of pets so living in an apartment is most likely not going to work which is why I'm looking at ot

Bay Area hackers, does anyone live a bit further out from the high cost areas?

I started to write a comment of my own then saw this one. You are spot on with this. What needs to happen is exactly what you are saying. However, I think humans in general tend to like to see the same actors in movies time and time again s

The reality of this, I believe, is that Megaupload was a bit of an "outlier" in that the company wasn't based, for the most part, in the U.S. and they were overall rather secretive it seems. Dropbox is a Silicon Valley company and I would t

Yes we are fortunate to live in a country where "it could be worse". No we should not sit back and relish that fact, I'd rather focus on "it could be better".

This is exactly how it is in the company I work for as well. There has been a half-assed attempt at CI, the guy who was setting it up left before it was finished though, its rather sad that its this way but when a codebase is 10 years old i

The bill threatens the existence of Wikipedia itself, its their right to do whatever they want to protest it. I think your're misjudging the situation a bit. This isn't the same as protesting some random cause, its something they believe c

I agree, however its somewhat disturbing how often I have to view customer data in my current job. I think the bigger companies that have good processes in place probably don't have to have people do it much but lets just say some companies

I did this for the first "real" job that I got and then again for a startup that I got a job with I did something similar. In the first case, the company was a few years old and the task they gave was very obviously just to gauge skills (no

Are these mostly founder-types who have a stake in the projects they are working on or also just regular programmers for whom its "just their job".

Right, but at some point soon after he would most likely no longer have his job title be programmer thus removing him from that category on this list. Basically what I'm saying is the only people on this list who would fall under "programme

Thanks for the info, I really was in the dark about what they were doing and it had me a little scared as I was initially under the impression that it was a site where users were just posting links to content and I couldn't fathom how that

Most programmers who make it there would have to be entrepreneurial so I'm guessing they may get filed under a different "hat" so to speak such as management. Also, I'm guessing this is just based off yearly income so if someone cashed out

I think HackerNews is rather light on trolling behavior, relatively speaking, a more generalized site like Reddit would probably prove a better sample-set of data for something like this.

Can anyone give clear info on what NinjaVideo was, I did some research and I can't seem to tell for sure if they were actually hosting these videos or just linking to them? It sounds like maybe they were linking to them on the NinjaVideo si

I think that the languages and platforms used shape the way one thinks about programming more than anything and that being exposed to different ecosystems is important. For example, working in a team of experienced developers that uses Java

I generally am active about keeping my inbox clean so anything in there is important, if its not then I delete it as I prune it everytime I check so not sure this would really be all that useful but for some people it may be, if they're too

by devs1010 15y ago
Agreed. This is definitely true, unless your product is so trivial that it can be done in a few days, it will take some investment from them. As far as prototyping, well not sure exactly what is meant by this as it could mean hiring a desig

by devs1010 15y ago
Agreed. Its mind boggling to think about all the technologies a modern web developer is leveraging when they work on their projects and without these lower-level technologies their job would be much harder and less productive.

I agree, there are cases where you would want a more robust client side data model, but, IMO people are a bit too quick to jump to using this and it can make more work in the end and make a project more costly to maintain. I think the cases

yeah, I get these too from time to time, they go straight to my trash folder. I have my own ideas for startups so I would never just "hook up" with some random person to join their venture for equity only unless I already knew them well and

Good point, i just think the author is a bit off on how much it would actually cost to hire someone

by devs1010 15y ago
yeah, sorry, thats what I meant.. I don't know if he meant just part-time or what, but no decent programmer in the U.S. would work for a couple thousand a month full-time on a project.

by devs1010 15y ago
So, is this just an article advocating outsourcing? Because I don't know how else you could hire a programmer for a month for a couple thousand dollars
