You don't get to have people punished simply because you feel unsafe. That's absurd. What if your post makes me feel unsafe? Peoples feelings are subjective, people are different, some people have a hair-trigger and others don't care, some people read a lot into words and other people take them at face value.

The only reason this individual should have been punished by FreeBSD folks for this alleged harassment is if it was against FreeBSD rules, it occurred in FreeBSD channels or forums, and there was a consensus among other people that it actually constituted harassment.

Otherwise, you just have a weapon you can wield to silence all civil discourse (because everyone has a job or a hobby somewhere they don't want to lose) you don't like by claiming you feel unsafe or harassed.

And after reading the sources mentioned in this thread, your and Randi's description of events is, to put it very mildly, one-sided. You may win some support from the people who don't dig down, but you're alienating allies with these tactics. I was a proud supporter and ally for about ten years, but over the past year or so I've grown more and more disillusioned. More and more it seems like there's nothing worth fighting for. I would certainly not want to appear to support the hatefulness and bullying Randi has engaged in publicly over this and other issues.

FreeBSD is, frankly, better off without the politics and drama.
> However, I have no sympathy for your argument. It is essentially, "I don't like the way people are voting so we should find a way to run them out of town."

The argument is NOT to run them out of town. The argument is that them not feeling the pinch of high prices encourages them to vote for policies that drive housing supply down, to everyone else's detriment. This comment summarizes it better: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10822124

Every Coursera course I've taken had associated notes and presentations. Some were prepared by the professors or TAs themselves, while others were by fellow students and put up in the forums. Coursera forums are goldmines - if you are not in the habit of participating there, you are missing out on a lot.

Linnarsson lab, Karolinska Institutet | Stockholm, Sweden [ ONSITE

I'm a full professor of molecular neuroscience, leading a group of ten people (PhD students, postdocs). We use single-cell RNA sequencing to discover and understand all the cell types of the mouse brain. We have published very well (Science, Nature, etc) and have just been funded to map every cell type in the mouse nervous system. This is an incredibly exciting project: for the first time, we will be able to say exactly what types of cells exist in every brain region, and which genes are specifically active in those cells. We have great funding for the next five years.

Now, I'm looking for a front-end programmer with some back-end skills to help build a data portal to share our data with the scientific community.

* Work in our team in Stockholm, Sweden

* Work with people from all over the world (English is our working language)

* Help us do groundbreaking science!

* Ok salary, great Swedish employment benefits

We're looking for someone who can build an UI, with tools for visualising and browsing a very large and complex dataset. We think you love making data pretty! Currently, we use

* Python for the back-end and tools

* React and D3 for the front-end

Check out our work at linnarssonlab.org and github.org/linnarsson-lab

Thanks,

Life is about tradeoffs. There are certainly successful startups that are significantly distributed. But I don't really disagree with your general point. I suspect that we'll see startups for which collocation is a priority increasingly looking outside the Bay area.

Snapdocs is a early-stage, rapidly growing company looking for a battle-hardened rails engineer. The ideal candidate is someone who plans to become a lead engineer (or perhaps a product manager) in the not too distant future.

We're a small team tackling the absolutely massive mortgage market. We're bringing modern, elegant software to a field that still relies on fax machines and manilla envelopes. We bring security, efficiency and joy to a paper-based pillar of the US economy.

The type of problems we're tackling involve workflow, product design, and data. Monolith vs microservice is an ongoing debate. We are working to find a good authentication pattern that allows for people to work across companies in multiple roles (which is trickier than you might think!). Domain Driven Design is our guiding light.

Snapdocs’ culture is one that trusts its team members to make smart decisions. This means we value both independent work as well as seeking collaboration. We're becoming ubiquitous in one segment of the market and we're looking to hire another core engineer to help us expand further.

==Job Description and Required Skills== * Rails Engineer. 3+ years experience, but more is welcome. Ideally, you're a full stack coder. But in reality, you probably lean either towards the front or the back end. That's fine, so long as you know (and are proud of) your strengths.

* Being the 5th member of on a fast-growing technical team. This means helping to form a healthy and happy culture. We strive to be respectful of each other's time and point of view. We're learning how to do this together. We want to create a place where it's OK to fail, and that you know the team has your back the whole way through.

* Self-motivated. To us that means when you get an interesting problem, you will rip into it until you understand its nuances and perhaps have a glimpse of the solution.

* Empathy. We work closely with our customers, meaning phone calls, emails, and sometimes lunch. It is important in this job to listen to them so that we can build what they need and want.

* Knowledge of AWS would be excellent.

* UX experience (or interest in cultivating it) would be excellent.

Send an email to jobs@snapdocs.com telling us about yourself. Please include a resume and a link to github (and specific github repos) if your profile is informative.
London and New York are not good comparisons to San Francisco. Although SF is a global city which is well interconnected with the rest of the world, it doesn't come close to London and NY, which are the greatest metropolises in the world in terms of ease of access to just about any human capital or other trade good in the world. They are also many times larger than SF, both in total population and population density, + public transport is a lot better. It is unreasonable to expect that they would be cheaper in proportion to their density.
Well, I never put much stock in mob thinking, so that's okay.
Denver is only recorded as "not dense" because the city technically includes all the land around the airport where there is very little built. If you don't include the airport property the density is pretty close to San Jose.

What you will work on:
* Implementing new frontend product features using AngularJS, and backend APIs using Django
* Iterating with our interaction and visual designers to refine user experience
* Writing AngularJS and Django unit tests to have coverage on features
* Hack on a wide range of interesting technical and business projects
* Profiling server and database to identify and correct performance bottlenecks
* Integrating with third party web services

What will help you be successful:
* Ability to manage time efficiently and focus on clear goals
* Pragmatic approach towards tackling unforeseen challenges

* Experience with SQL
* Infinite appetite for learning
Wow! Thanks! I've been using FF on mobile forever and had never noticed that. I think I'll be using it more often from now on.
Greater chance of the deal going through. If they have so much cash they are also less likely to bail out on a small undiscovered defect.

The first offer we made on a house a few years back, the other bidder offered 50% cash so even though we were $10K more with 20% down, we lost out.
Well, that's the whole point of SEO - you do it when you don't have anything relevant or valuable to offer, but still want the money. SEO as an industry is mostly about fucking up Google's ability to show relevant results.
Not the poster you're replying to, but I manage both remote employees and local devs. We do adjust salaries based on location, but the adjustment data we use seems skewed in favor of remote employees. As an example, an employee in Florida gets $140k which is only $30k less than we'd pay him if he were local.

> But that is still an concern since your salary gets reset if you ever change companies without moving back to silicon valley.

I'm not sure if this is true. If you're going to work for another SV company and remote, it's quite common for you to be able to quote a number higher than you got from your previous remote job and negotiate your way down to at or just above where you actually were in the previous job. The only time where I'd see you needing to adjust your salary down is if you took a job with a non-SV company in the interim. Just be aware that the salary data used by each company may be different.

But it is probably helpful to come to SV/SF at some point in the beginning and transition to remote work initially because hiring out here is somewhat incestuous and having a well-known SV employer on your CV will help with getting past HR filters and ensure you get the necessary LI touches.

Housing prices would seem to disagree with you given that waving a magic wand to create 10s or 100s of thousands of housing units in SF (and transit, etc. infrastructure to support them) isn't going to happen in less than decades even if the residents wanted it. Obviously, the technology exists to remake SF into a much denser city. But that's a different city.

I sometimes feel I missed things too. For me, it's a better era alignment in that I was writing low level code on the simpler machines. But, I did step away for quite a while doing manufacturing, CAD, and a lot of related things.

All of which were very interesting, but my real love is programming and circuits. So, now I'm back, making progress, loving it, but also feeling a bit out of place.

We are not alone, of that I am sure.

It is. After it being pointed out to me, I've recalled that I've been using LibreOffice for some time. Maybe I'm ignorant about the actual history, but I've always considered LibreOffice to be the continuation and rebranding of OpenOffice.

If an autonomous system reaches a point where it is better than some drivers, it will certainly be cheaper to insure than those drivers (insurance companies are one of the things we have that is closest to the much hypothesized rational economic actor, they will respond to actual costs of insurance over passenger comfort).

I also find it comforting that the worst drivers on the road will eventually be self driving cars that do what some evil profit motivated company says, rather than drunks and fools and the like.
This sounds really interesting. I don't know what too much of this means though. Can you recommend books or in depth articles about the process of ic making?

I had the same trouble with this article on the desktop. This happens a lot, designers assume everyone's running full screen, or are not on mobile, or just don't consider it. In desktop firefox I've installed addon Disable Style Button, which turns off CSS with one click. It's a shortcut for View/Page Style/No Style if you want to try it out without installing the addon.

The little book icon isn't always there, and anyway I generally like the result of turning off CSS anyway, it looks very nineties and I can just see the faintest outline of a middle finger.

Even just a half-screen-width window on my laptop shows the same thing.

I think it's darkly hilarious: it's uncomfortable to read text which is a full screen width, so sites waste 50% of the browser window in order to give readers reasonably-wide text — but they waste that 50% of the window even when it is already reasonably-sized.
No, out here in the real world they'd be terminated immediately for gross misconduct, and feel lucky if they exited the building on foot instead of head-first.
We normally hide this behind the `match` API: https://github.com/rackt/react-router/blob/master/docs/guide...

Of course, that API is quite opaque and doesn't give you a history object you work with. It's really just a boilerplate reducer or macro for SSR. You can copy out what's going on inside of the function, but that's pretty crappy for you to have to manage.

I think, in addition to the docs sucking, we need to come up with a better API for SSR. If you're using redux-simple-router or other integrations that rely on history, it's entirely unusable. We need to fix this.
Wouldn't it be "fun (a |> b) = b a"? (call b on result of argument a)?
I disagree with this blog post. I can't imagine any employer would look negatively at a graduate degree. Even if in an unrelated field, an argument can be made that a grad degree adds breadth of experience.
