Oh, if I wasn't clear, I meant using git as a form of work record at your company. If you have a nice commit log, it's easy to point to your own productivity. I didn't mean keep committing to open source repos.

People are scared you won't commit code and will do nothing. A long public commit history on GitHub is good and seems to do a lot. Also, once you have the job, keep the git active too. The good commit logs help you write invoices mo

This doesn't matter. The HFT arbitrage guys (if they haven't already) will move in to bring the other components of the fragmented market inline. This is just a natural progression with markets becoming more efficient.

Does this allow iOS and Android to talk to each other over the mesh without reaching into the cloud? It says iOS and Android, but it doesn't seem to say -between- iOS and Android.

This was an interesting challenge. Here's my attempt: "Merry Christmas." The more PC term is "Happy Holidays", but I'm not so sure "Merry Christmas" is offensive contextually -- at least, not always.

I've often felt web sites need an inverse mode. On some sites, I prefer all the negative comments to the upvoted comments.

Depends on if there is a kind of liquidity crunch. People could be called on to sell BTC to offset problems that arise out of an issue with other markets.

We are similar and I studied math as well. I solved this problem by just buying a friend coffee regularly in exchange for notes. She used to take fantastic notes and they were probably the reason I even excelled in a lot of classes. Howev

I like ZeroC's ICE and I use it as a form of component interconnect where appropriate. The pain level is minimal (although I disliked some elements of how they distributed their packages over the years.) Source builds have been probl

Your knowledge is disorganized because the state of affairs is disorganized. People have strong opinions on methods that define how front end and back end operate, so no one resource will exhaustively enumerate how the other n-1 methods ar

HFT has matured. But, I agree, finding alpha through alternative means at internet scale has been around for at least a decade, but things are getting more interesting now.

100% correct. I am a statistician and a developer and my work falls into the domain of machine learning. The vast majority of my job is really painful data gathering, scrubbing, and fighting the toolchain. I have done this for YEARS, and

You can learn C++ if you want, but don't get frustrated if you don't understand everything. Baby steps. You will be refining your knowledge for years.

I doubt that's as timely. I was assuming exclusive, quick access not available to others, especially since the Ask HN prompt said the data was worthy of being sold.

Predict the stock market. There has to be alpha in abnormal increases in product-related queries.

I believe that if I had a self-driving car, the more likely scenario I would encounter is one where I'd have to send my kid to go pick up my self-driving car (and bring it back manually.) Perhaps when the technology has really proven i

Trading always has this trade off in terms of (dumb and fast) vs (smart and slow). In the past few years, I think it's been more beneficial to be fast enough, but very smart. So, in this sense, technical ability only takes you so far

Fair point, and I accept it. But, it's important to add that our task is much harder because they get added "synergies" they get from the "connectedness" of their portfolio.

It's effectively a kind of hedge fund that dabbles in internet and social-specific assets. The more they diversify their portfolio and occasionally branch out, the harder they will be to fully kill. This is the pattern with a lot of

I'm in a search cycle currently myself. I got involved with a startup that would periodically get funding, charged decent rates, but when one funding round didn't go through, I had to kick off a sales and marketing cycle. How&#x2

Went to NYC first, then Chicago. It's different here, but I feel like I have more personal freedom to experiment and not get totally crushed financially when I fail. My biggest problem with NYC and the Bay Area is that you can't

Have an up vote. It does feel insulting (awkward?) to say "own" when there's talk regarding pets since they're often family. I responded to your post because one time there was smoke in my building and what I thought wa

Depends on your manager. If he thinks your work is great and it's solid for 5 hours, he might let you get away with it. If he's a hard-A or has pressure of his own to get serious deadlines, he'll give you more work. Depend

Is it fair? No. However, people who don't live within a city really aren't in a position to dictate how that city should be run if they don't actually live and vote there. Plus, employers would eventually just provide trans

I would restrict traffic to very specific use cases, like Uber, taxis, public transit, and charge high tolls for everyone else. Then, I'd encourage e-bike or bike rebates/tax credits. The traffic situation in cities is really ou

Are you an immigrant by chance? Some cultures have a greater degree of bluntness. This society makes great use of lies to smooth over social transactions and it's something that can seem alien depending on where you came from. Social
