Web developer - REMOTE or FREELANCE

Recently funded startup looking for developer to help relieve pressure from our main dev. The team is living as digital nomads throughout the US, so you can be remote or join us on the journey. Preference for freelancers on a project/hourly basis. Communication is key. You will not be the only developer on the team, so our expectations and tasks will be reasonable and informed.

Our stack:

* is a small webapp running on AWS services (EC2+RDS+S3) that consists of nginx + postgresql + php + cakephp + javascript (jquery and angularjs).

We are looking for a developer to:

* help in finishing the implementation of a completed UI/UX design using the above tech (already 85% complete).

* implement new features in the product pipeline

* bug fixes

That sounds eerily reminiscent of the Climate Change Denialist camp: bribe some unscrupulous scientist to push whatever narrative you want people to believe, then use the media to frame the conflict as a matter of opinion.

If the facts says that burning 43 bodies would require more fuel than what could be moved in secret to the place, and would leave unmistakable traces that are simply missing, that's what the facts say. Period. The UNAM scientist can claim that the Earth is flat... it is not as if their paycheck don't ultimately come from the same people that is trying very hard to cover up the whole affair.

No, it has 'er' instead of 'ar' sound. In fact, 'err' is a better word than 'earl'
looks great!!!

i want to see it in my browser and websites, home some browser support come from chrome and firefox
Not much compared to my area, which is also one of the highest cost of living spots in the US.

In fact, the primary difference is that $8 per fast food meal in NYC. The Milk, Eggs, Bread, Apples, and Potatoes are hit and miss (some cheaper where I live, some cheaper in NYC)

At least according to this: www.expatistan.com/
That's what I was trying to get at. My experience too has been that they are fine enough systems but they cost to much and I have little patience for their advertising. I bought an amp and speakers almost a decade ago now which were not Bose and they are also going strong. Except this system was a fraction of what I could have paid for a Bose.

I get it too, that when buying a Bose it's like buying a Mac: you just have to shell out the money and all the though of making a computer is abstracted from you. It can be cheaper if you piece a PC together yourself but not everyone has time or patience for that. Paying for Bose is paying for something that 'just works'.
Somewhat tangential, but "disabled" sounds to me like they're completely unable to do anything, which is obviously not the case here. Compare with a disabled car/plane/ship/etc. I think "handicapped" sounds to me more correct for "degraded ability" that describes these people.
Yes, I think that is true. Speaking from memory, but I've worked on Unix for long, and I think I remember that on some older Unix versions, you had to specify -print, otherwise it would walk the directory tree according the conditions you specified (such as filename wildcards, the -o option (for OR), etc.), but would produce no output for that walk.
They increase compression ratio? That's counter-intuitive. You're effectively imposing an ordering requiring certain information to be available first, so you'd expect the compression be at most as good as non-progressive. I guess the changed ordering makes the statistics simpler and easier to compress, or something like that.
Pretty much, there's quite a bit of talk around the "UK Brain-Drain" related to this exact issue.
I'd be interested to see these numbers compared to the benefits offered by companies in each country. I know that in a lot of European countries it is normal to get more time off, the government offers more benefits, etc.

I say this because every time there is a thread saying, "X company just got this awesome benefit" someone always says, in Europe this is the norm.

Edit:

I also bring this up because I've seen companies in the US offer more money but 0 benefits in order to get you to pick them over another company where you'd actually be making more if you factor in the benefits. How much does that affect US vs Europe?
> Also would anyone recommend learning how to use Windows PowerShell and again would that have the same kind of insane learning curve?

I do have to use Powershell at work so I am familiar with it. But you can't seriously claim that Powershell is an example of good design. Its language is as inconsistent as Bash, even with the benefit of hindsight.

Powershell is only helpful with the flags and switches, if you are calling other powershell scripts, or .net libraries. If you are calling standard executables, you are back to square one. Which happens to be bash's more common use case.
no I sent my friends a direct link….shouldn’t have done it... bad mistake :((
"Can't recommend it enough" is what you meant to say, I want to believe.
Look at the state of the Middle East between the rise of sea-borne trade that withered the old overland Silk Road trade routes and the current petro-states.
Probably wishful thinking... :(
For me it was mostly those building up a slow rage, and then an audio ad was what actually pissed me off enough to drop whatever I was doing and install it.
The -print option was not the default when I first used find (in v6 Unix, back in PDP-11 days). I don't recall what 4.2bsd did, which was the next version of Unix that I used.

I thought it was pretty brain-damaged, and that whoever decided that had decided poorly.

The author of the tool should have pushed back, IMHO. Then again, I don't know the political structure of the shop where find(1) was written, so maybe that was impossible.
By "Average American" I meant a person with typical (bad) personal finance skills who doesn't save. They simply spend everything they make. And usually then some, getting into CC debt.
It does take some time to be comfortable at any shell. That applies to WIMP ones too, but you've probably gone trough that phase already.

That said, you should get able to do the basics fast, and need time just to expand to the less common corners. Also, practice will make you comfortable, and indeed faster, but is not a requisite for using it correctly. The learning curve is steep, but there's no barrier anywhere, and no leap in understanding (if you already can code).

As people will keep telling you, the manual is your friend.
I loved those. Though they could do with the addition of some greenery and some extra decoration.
I never even discovered that impressive spec! Buried in all the BS.

Would like to point out a caveat listed in that page, as follows. Don't convert all your photos in your drive (yet).

"WARNING: FLIF is a work in progress. The format is not finalized yet. Any small or large change in the algorithm will most likely mean that FLIF files encoded with an older version will no longer be correctly decoded by a newer version. Keep this in mind. "
A lot of these numbers need to be weighted by the number of submissions; e.g. fewer samples implies higher variance.

The fact that the 3 people who reported from Arizona have high salaries, for example, doesn't mean that one should go to Arizona to find UX design work.

My favorite example is SQL. The ANSI-92 standard deliberately made SQL not Turing Complete so that it could be optimized. But people kept adding things to it, like CTE and windowing, and now it is.

See http://assets.en.oreilly.com/1/event/27/High%20Performance%2... for proof.
Most of the oil-rich nations have reasonably large sovereign wealth funds, so they have broad investment exposure to the rest of the global economy. I think the plan is to draw on those as necessary to transition their economies into something more diversified and sustainable.
They should still do some exercise though: while changing your calorie output/intake difference is key and diet changes are the easiest way to do that, there is more to exercise than just burning calories. It is possible to be the perfect weight but still unhealthily unfit.

One thing to remember to account for with massive people: the bigger you are the more you burn moving the same distance. It takes effort to move that mass from place to place. I burn a lot less doing a 5K or 10K run now I weight approximately 10 stone than I did back when I was around 16.
Maybe you're better off buying older machines. Our house came with two fairly used Miele machines when we bought it 16 years ago: the dishwasher is still going, and the clothes washer was replaced only a couple of years ago.
I've been in UX for over 15 years, mostly in the U.S. and Germany, and I think looking at salary on the country level is the wrong level of granularity.

For example, it's completely possible that salaries in London are higher than in New York or San Francisco, given the high cost of living in London.

It could also be that there are more US-based UX people working in major US cities so that the average US salary looks higher.

Or maybe the sample size wasn't high enough to control for these kinds of regional differences.

So, while this data is directionally interesting I wouldn't apply it too much to your particular situation.

Can I ask people to upvote my submission?

No. Users should vote for a story because it's
intellectually interesting, not because someone is
promoting it.

When the software detects a voting ring, it penalizes the
post. Accounts that vote like this eventually get their
votes ignored.
Yes, thankfully we have to pay for our own children's education, transportation, food, and healthcare because nobody pays taxes. Truly, this makes the US a wonderful place.

(Oh, and with -exec and -delete, not needing that pipe is incredibly useful. Find is an incredibly powerful command.)
No, that's backwards. Microsoft and Apple and Google prevent the usage of the GPL/LGPL. Don't blame the GPL for the bad behavior of large corporations that are using their immense power to try to stop copyleft.
Your Coffee Pods' Dirty Secret (2014)
It has the devices covered

> Devices based on Google's Android platform, as of version 5.0 "Lollipop", support the Opus codecs. Chromecast supports Opus decoding. Grandstream GXV3240 and GXV3275 video IP phones support Opus audio both for encoding and decoding.

Developers were Mozilla and Skype (MS after the purchase)

>Its main developers are Jean-Marc Valin (Xiph.Org, Octasic, Mozilla Corporation), Koen Vos (Skype), and Timothy B. Terriberry (Xiph.Org, Mozilla Corporation). Among others, Juin-Hwey (Raymond) Chen (Broadcom), Gregory Maxwell (Xiph.Org, Wikimedia), and Christopher Montgomery (Xiph.Org) were also involved.

Standardized

Still I think most people have no idea about Opus as a codex and only thing OGG (Container which Opus uses) and Vorbis codec format (Which Opus was to replace).
This reminds me of the salary spreadsheet that was secretly passed around at google.

No one, they should be given other outlets to self realization, rather than this kind of circus. They could try skiing or any other kind of paralympic sport which doesn't dehumanize them.
You don't need to know ever detail, but the metabolic effects are super important. If you eat the same amount of calories of Snackwells (or some other supposedly "healthy" processed snack food option) compared a steak, you are going to need an insane amount of willpower to avoid overeating when you come down from the glycemic rollercoaster.
My Problem is that Chrome feels so much more responsive than Firefox, when scrooling.
If you like Brutalism, go to Washington DC and it's suburbs. I hate it with a passion, because having lived surrounded by it, I find it to be cold and uninviting, and utterly devoid of charm. Perhaps that's because it's always manifested in poorly scaled urban areas where the density isn't utilized properly for human scale activities.

Edit: OK, I think my definition of Brutalism vs. yours is far more conservative. The Parisian manifestation seems to be far more artistic.

Lived in a 1969 built high-rise, surrounded on all sides by other high-rises of the same design. Check out Crystal City in Arlington, VA. That's where I was living. The older buildings are all like that.

DC's metro stations are all the same way, and most of the federal buildings also.

Produce from any of the Chinatowns(Manhattan, Flushing, 8th ave) is pretty reasonable.
This is fairly timely as I'm investigating possibilities for our data model and graphdb just popped up on my radar. Are gdb good for modeling multiple types of products? Let's say v1 of product has attributes a, b, c but v2 now adds x, y, z and removes a. Would that be 2 separate nodes?

I too am interested in understanding the downsides of a gdb (seeing some refs to performance but nothing concrete).
This seems like something that a semantic diff could aid in tremendously. Determining which code to test via coverage or attempting some text parsing based on commits is likely be very error-prone. Determining code to test based on differences in a syntax tree seems more concrete to me.
If you want to help hack on this, I've written a Postgres backend for the graph database Cayley that's fairly fast and about to merge (for use on a prod feature): https://github.com/google/cayley/pull/289

For traversals, it tries its level best to let Postgres create the appropriate JOINs, which Postgres does well... most of the time anyway. In doing this, I learned really fast how many weird semantic corners of bog-standard SQL are, and the optimization choices Postgres makes based on the way you formulate the query.

Ping me on that PR! And/or join #cayley on Freenode
Sorry for the late answer, just seen your reply.

Again I am thinking about emacs, there you could have multiple cork boards, with multiple Windows. So basically, you open a cork board view, which in the background has a cork board buffer. And in principle you can then open a second cork board window to the same buffer, so that you can lock at two different places at once.

As for how to implement it, I am not sure, my crazy first idea would be as a clip board on steroids. So you mark some text and a index card with the text appears in the cork board.
does it provide ordering and transcript verification, even in case of partition and resume? I know that XMPP is meant to handle that kind of stuff reliably, but a multiparty OTR or Axolotl ratchet should make sure that even if the transport is compromised, you can detect any message drop or tampering.
They may actually emerge as a leader in green energy & architecture. Masdar City looks like an interesting project to follow.

There's a review of it by me on that page, under the Reviews link. I think that review (which I spent some time and effort writing) will give you a fairly good overview of the topics you (or anyone) needs to learn to become good at using Linux (or other Unixes) at a user level.

There are also tons of other resources for it on the net, including many at http://tldp.org - The Linux Documentation Project. Some of those may feel more advanced, so you may want to start with the book above, or any other similar book, and then move on to the TLDP and other tutorials on the net.
I'm not surprised they specifically call out boston.com

I've been reading that site weekly / daily for a few years now. On Desktop browsers its pretty painless (with an ad blocker on), but recently on my ipad the usability of the site has dropped to zero.

It constantly loads an ad that redirects me to the app store, while my browser sits on a blank page. If you hit the back button, boom forward to blank page, context switch to App store.

And the apps it wanted me to download were highly questionable in nature.

I'm amazed that a site of that high of brand recognition would stoop to that level (auto-redirect to crappy app store app). Will be finding a new site for my Boston news after that.

GCC has been around for 30 years. Only in the past 5 years has LLVM been around, and LLVM really is the only compiler to ever have matched GCC. The value GCC has provided to the software community in large is immense. Do you think it would have survived this far if it had been MIT-licensed all along?
To support this argument, I'd like you to think about all the other compilers that never had a 10th of the traction of GCC and how they were licensed.

I do agree that the LGPL is a reasonable choice for prototype implementation of a specification. I don't think using the GPL is a huge loss compared to LGPL for a prototype.

I'd like to ask a non-rhetorical question; On an individual basis is it not better if all software was available as sourcecode?

And if so, does that not mean the choice of not-publishing sourcecode is done for other reasons than what's best for the individual(s)?
Please give your feedback about our platform. Thank you so much.

Facebook does this to scale their tests, you can hear Katie Coons talking about it in CI at the end of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0VH78ye4yY. There are also rules that say "if you changed this file, run all tests" for things like CI config and such.

Also, the build tool Buck (https://buckbuild.com/) enables this because it knows the graph and associates tests with the code they test...so you even get this test minimization locally as a developer (that is, outside CI) for free. I'm sure Bazel likely has a similar feature too.
Brewster Kahle on Preserving Knowledge and Affordable Housing [audio]
Exactly! They are expensive and they work well, are quiet, and all that but they aren't reliable and Miele doesn't stand behind them with a warranty that's any longer than anyone else offers. They offer a 1-year warranty just like any third-rate brand. I finally replaced mine with a Bosch that offers a limited 5-year warranty and a lifetime warranty on the tub, and it was cheaper to buy the whole Bosch than to get the Miele fixed once.
You're right - for some reason I thought we were still in the year 2000. The main brunt of the revolution occurred 70-80 years ago from 1930-1945.

I also agree that the huge macroeconomic instability of WWII was helpful in allowing the communist party to organize a successful campaign as the KMT had to deal with multiple enemies on multiple fronts, and the communists were also receiving aid from the US to fight the Japanese post Pearl Harbor.

I think we would need to see another period of large-scale war in order to see any kind of revolution in China.

> Can't recommend it more.

"I'm physically incapable of recommending it more often/strongly because I'm using my full strength to recommend it already"

> Can't recommend it enough

"I'm physically incapable of recommending it as frequently/strongly as it deserves because I have exhausted my strength in so doing"
The US has almost no precision machinists. Those guys are in Germany, Swizterland and Japan.

There are all sorts of things you can't build over here or in China because we don't have the people who can do it precisely enough.
So is a FLIF that you only download half of.
Agreed. Me, too. I just wanted to point out that customization is pretty much required for success.
I wasn't saying don't build a business. Rather, I'm saying to choose the business you get into wisely. I'm betting neither of your businesses are anything like infrastructure, hosting, etc.
Traits (Smart Mixins) with ES7(?) Decorators
We could easily pull up dozens of examples of spurious, dull or absurd results and claims from science. There are interesting things to be learned from philosophy even if some of it is dumb.

It's especially important to address the claims of science to be a perfect method of knowledge; in the absence of religious justifications for human activity science has been set up as a valid replacement and its important to examine its right to the throne. We have a long history of attempts at scientific decision making that claims an objectivity it ought not to have (see: forced sterilizations, eugenics, mass medication and medicalization of human behavior) and tremendous consequence resulting from this sort of claim (environmental catastrophe, for example).

If science is going to intrude on the domain of politics, of deciding what is human and who should be considered human, we seriously need to challenge the assumption of objective knowledge and think about science's fundamental dependence on metaphysical constructs. Easy to ignore if you are Feynman at the top of this pyramid, but scientific authority is just authority; it has to be accountable to something or it is going to produce monsters.

As the article states, this exploration can only occur from outside science; we can't answer claims about its validity or access to truth from within science.
