Idera bought out a company that I used to work for. They immediately let half of the workforce go without compensation. They are normally (in Canada) expected to pay severance, but an extremely optimistic interpretation of our employment

That never happens. There will always be people who want to be different from the herd. Any inefficiencies will take care of themselves.

"Implement a red-black tree on a whiteboard" is code for "we don't know how to interview, so we ask about stuff that the hiree will never do". I'm not so sure the "advantage" is actually an advantage

Saved this on reddit a few days ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/6a9pnj/cnn_exclu... It's a list, with links to back up the points connecting Trump.

I'd be more inclined to take this approach, but to diversify geographically and to also include some fixed income in there, too. The US market may pause someday, but there is a much slimmer chance that the entire world's equities

Might want to mention that it's especially interesting if you're a mouse.

I read an amazing book about portfolio allocation a few years back and reallocated my holdings. The thing that impressed me was a historical analysis which showed that, as long as you split your fixed income and equities, you would do quit

I created an IVR scripting language back when premium-rate billing was in its heyday. We were in a very successful business (so successful that we didn't need a salesperson). Our Achilles heel was that we were dependent on a company

This "spammy affiliate marketing site" is neither spammy, nor does affiliate marketing. It saves hundreds, if not thousands of lives. Read the linked article.

The AMD news is on the second page. Changing the title here to match that of the linked article, while in keeping with HNpolicy, has ruined the utility of the link.

"a good amount of equity", apparently worthless without working like a slave. I'd leave.

I'm not so sure that qualifies as a "crack".

Robotdyn is a great vendor. Their stuff is well built (and designed), not as cheap as the other aliexpress stuff, but far cheaper than the name brand.

I had thought that this might be an announcement about the availability of the ESP32. It is not. It's clickbait about an ESP8266-like chip with some onboard flash memory.

Although perhaps Samsung's acquisition might continue with the trend, improving Joyent's bottom line by ignoring all previous financial obligations that may have existed before the purchase...

I will never, ever consider using Joyent in any capacity for this very reason.

There's always the possibility that they will make you an offer you can't refuse. There may be inside information which changes the game. And it might be that the only way to know this is to meet with them.

His "vague advice" is very useful. It's a reminder that tech isn't the only thing that employees are selling. And that selling includes an interpersonal component. It can be ignored, but the results will be far from o

I am exactly old enough to be jealous of your COSMAC ELF. It's an artifact of a time when hobby computing was much more like trailblazing in an unknown land.

Of course you do. When we sleep, we break chemical bonds, releasing energy. We burn like candles. Well, actually this happens at all times, but it's most dramatic when we're not eating. And hopefully that's what's goin

Wow. A sincere, well executed apology can do wonders in patching up one's reputation. This just makes him seem like an even bigger buffoon. There was a lesson to be learned here and it seems like he's uninterested in learning it
