True. I am ready to work as a junior developer too. I have computer science background and have willingness to learn as well but that just does not cut it, in this market.

I am however working on my own apps and learning and trying to build a portfolio that way.

I have started looking fairly recently but my point was the looking for a new job, in this market is not easy, esp when you are not living in the area you are looking for a job in.

I actually can feel this. I am looking for one myself in NYC/Nj area.

But in cases where you earn days of PTO, aren't you allowed to take them anytime you want, because you earned them?

An article on the same: http://www.we-make-money-not-art.com/archives/2011/08/que-le...

It worked with my Chrome on Mac.

I can point you to two places:

1. http://pythonmentors.com/ This will solve the mentor-ship problem you have. Folks in the core and around who are mentors will listen to your problems and can help you on the way. Although they are very nice with newbies, please make sure that you try to be as clear and professional in your approach/questions as possible.

2. http://openhatch.org/ This website gives you small, medium and tough level of bugs in most of the prominent opensource projects.

Hope this helps.

Have you ever had a moment where you want to have a service that solved a problem? Or a moment where you thought a piece of software/hardware etc. could be done in a better way? You could start with that.

Something cool could also mean helping out an opensource project, if you have time. Just my 2 cents.

What people did not see was that he cleaned the trash afterwards.

That makes working on visa a little difficult, doesn't it?

Yes. Thanks for pointing that out. H1B visa holders make a very minute percentage of the total number of foreign workers. The visa laws are meant to protect American jobs but there are some loopholes that are being utilized to misuse the visa (around 20% misuse is reported).

I have been trying to find a startup in NYC to work with but haven't found the right one yet.

I did not know there was a duplicate detector now.

I would like to know this as well. Do you mean H1B visa?

AFAIK HN is not the place for such links. I would understand a celebrity (which in this case is not much of a celeb anyway) would do something towards "enhancing" human existence, could make its way to HN.

But please stop posting your bollywood celebrity blog's link to get traffic.

I do not have permissions to downmod this otherwise I would.

Thanks for the information. I try not to post anything that is meaningless. In that comment, I had asked a genuine question after the word "LOL". that LOL was there because I found the prior comment funny. I will take care from now. Thanks once again!

Why have I been downmodded?

Nice solution.

I wanted to know this. Also, how about streaming websites like stagevu.com ?

LOL! Is it legal for anyone to download this and see? Won't they come knocking on your door even if you just download it?

I can use a custom stylesheet on my end but I wish this web page had better choice of font color so that there was some contrast.

How to make shady areas safer, esp for women and children?

I feel that movie idiocracy (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/) had a potential to convey this (although the execution of the movie was bad). The idea of the movie also had to do something with numbers. I believe that is why most of the religions of the world preach to have more children so that they can have strength by numbers.

I had to go and look up Eval and Evil again: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/197769/when-is-javascript...

Has there been a well defined study, interviews of women in the industry as to what do they want? What do they think and go through and what would they like changed?

I know. I was thinking the same thing. How does an IP address translate to a human being?

From where I see, Django has a decent community. I have been helped a lot, I regularly go to meetups with a turnout of 20+ Django devs at a time.

Django is a Python framework. It has some nice features of Python like explicitness over implicitness rather than depending on a lot of magic. But in no way I feel it is a clumsy, inflexible or restrictive.

Nice work. Could this also include openings from other websites?

This is of interest to me. I have a computer science background and would like to know more about bioinformatics. I have been looking for specific, easy, midlevel and big projects so that I can start learning the trade.

I know that NCBI is a good organization for such a field.

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Wow! Chrome has the best version adoption rate. Is that because the updates are easier and more streamlined?

"Introduction to Algorithms" (http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Algorithms-Second-Thomas-...)

"The Art of Computer Programming" (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_6_31?url=search-alias...)

....to begin with.

Then there are theoretical computer science books.

I like the Computability, Complexity, and Languages, Second Edition: Fundamentals of Theoretical Computer Science (Computer Science and Scientific Computing)
