Just straight up tell them you want more money and if they say no then leave.


If you're 10–20 you should also set aside some time to have fun!


I’d contend you should set aside time to have fun at all ages.


Will this impact services like Radar Relay in any way?


It's hard to say, but likely no. Radar Relay is a decentralized exchange. Coinbase is a centralized exchange. They're competing for mostly different sets of folks. If Coinbase actually releases ERC20 token trading, it would have more of an impact on exchanges such as Kraken, Binance, and Pol.


Not depression, but I notice that I have less social anxiety when sleep deprived.


I notice this but with inhibition. I find I do different kinds of coding, more creative and less rigid, when I have less inhibition. Good sleep is good for rigid code, bad sleep is good for creative problem solving and inhibition. I tend to be better on the phone on <6 hours of sleep as well. I think getting a full night's sleep leads to my prefrontax cortex functioning properly, which I find makes me rigid and anxious with all the threads I follow and things I predict. Without a good sleep, that is significantly inhibited, making it easier to go with the flow, on a call or writing code.


I have really bad anxiety during interviews and it clouds my mind. I'm considering taking a beta blocker for my next interview.


Do it. It's an open secret in musician circles that many rely on beta blockers for high pressure performances.


Do any interviewers notice resumes that are written in LaTeX compared to ones that aren't?


Yep; it’s obviously not a deal breaker/winner, but we definitely notice. I once joked that we ought to mark up candidates with LaTeX CVs, but knock them slightly down if they stuck with Computer Modern :)


Crap. I like Computer Modern. :(


It is not bad, and its history (as well as Metafont's) is remarkable.

However, the Adobe Utopia font, available by using the fourier package, is so much better IMHO.


How can you tell that they used LaTeX if the CV is in PDF format, other than by guessing from the use of Computer Modern?


After a while you can just spot it, LaTeX has a much higher quality typesetting and layout engine than Word or other WYSIWYG on-the-fly editors.

The easy way is usually to spot some of the no-no's of layouting; single words at the last line of a paragraph, sentences spanning over page breaks, spacing in block paragraphs, etc.

It's easiest with letters or invoices with some text, where the spacing and word placing is most obvious but you can usually tell in CVs with less text too.

Of course, sometimes Word gets lucky and does a proper layout, but I've found that it's rare that I get to see properly layouted word documents.


Quality of typesetting. Seriously.



Look at the PDF's "PDF Producer", "Creator", or "Application" metadata fields in a PDF reader application.


I definitely do. I automatically give plus points in my head even though I know I shouldn't.


Should you not?

I'm sure having a LaTeX CV correlates well with other skills which you might deem desirable and, if so, it seems like a perfectly reasonable indicator to use. It shouldn't be used exclusively, but nothing should be.


I must say, I was happy to come across this after putting in the not insignificant effort of converting my resume into a nice looking LaTeX document: http://stevehanov.ca/blog/resume_comic.png


Yes, it's definitely a shibboleth. IMO it's a full duplex signal. When I notice that an interviewer noticed, it can make me more interested in an offer from that place if I think I'll be working with that/those interviewer/s.


I would, probably, depending on the level of customization.


Of course. I mean, of course… https://xkcd.com/1301/


I've been on a ketogenic diet for the past two months, and I've noticed less "down days", negative thoughts, and a more positive outlook on life in general.


The dude on the right looks like an older version of Doug Funny.


The dumbing down of the curriculum so that music/english majors can pass CS classes doesn't do anyone any favors.

You sound butt-hurt

Level of discourse on Hacker News 2017


Huh? I'm not butthurt. Seems like you are though.

I'm sorry having standards and expectations is something that offends so many people.

C isn't a "difficult" language. It's something any CS major should have an understanding of.

I can't believe on hackernews, I'd get attacked for saying people should learn C.

Nevermind that most OSes and most languages themselves are written in C. Even python interpreters are written in C.

Since when is saying people should learn C for a CS degree considered being "butthurt"? What's next? Saying people should learn latin/ancient greek for a liberal arts degree is considered being butthurt?


You're being attacked because of your condescending tone implying that music and english majors aren't smart enough to pass the CS curriculum


You're being attacked

Regardless of how much you may disagree with what someone said or how they said it, attacking them for it (even verbally) is not an appropriate response. It only contributes to worsening the discourse. If you can't find a way to disagree or express an opinion constructively, it's better to refrain from commenting at all.


Does this mean no more Star Wars content on Netflix?


Anything that is currently on Netflix is contracted. When the contracts are up, the answer to your question depends on how negotiations go.


i.e. Disney stuff probably isn't coming back.


Yes, beginning in 2019
