My friends family got stuck with a very sick child on the other side of the world and needed to go home. They managed to raise the funds needed amoung friends and family and used this plane conversion to get safely home. Im very grateful this can be done and I don't want to think about what could have happened if it didn't.
Your love for Scala should not prevent you from exploring Elixir. You might discover you like it. And it is not either or...
Why is Mac OSX one item yet Windows is split up at every single version? Even Air seems weirdly split up.
Since there's no comparison matrix on the Buy It page, and all of the plans link to the same "Full Discourse feature set", I think it's likely that "Buy It" refers to hosting plans, not the software itself.

Coalfire | Denver, Seattle, Atlanta | Full-time | Onsite

Coalfire is a security company who is always looking for skilled penetration testers. We have positions from junior penetration tester up to senior based on experience. We absolutely hire people with no previous professional security experience as long as you prove that you have the passion for it through previous self-taught experience. Our clients include Fortune 50s and travel is maybe 20% of the deal. We do web application hacking, network hacking, even full-blown red team operations where essentially anything goes. You should see our lock picking cabinet.
There is no conflict in a "buy" button and having an open source app. Discourse offers paid hosting services if you don't want to run the app on your own server.

The version on their hosted service is the exact same as what you can run on your own server. This is similar to the model of other businesses like Ghost: https://ghost.org/
While writing a reply to you, my comment went to five paragraphs before I realized that there was no end in sight. I'll keep it short.

Any "comeback" of Aristotelian logic is slow in coming. What I see happening is that modern logicians take those old criticisms seriously and are addressing them. See quantified modal logic for an example.
Agreed! I think part of the problem could be that the first, say 10-20, comments on a controversial story won't be very good. This makes people flag it before (hopefully) a lot of genuine thought and effort goes into the comments. I'm not familiar with how flags affect a post's rank on the front page. Thinking out loud, a system where the first user flag has minimal impact and the impact grows very slowly with each additional flag could work.

Even though I find it uninteresting, it's arguably necessary in the same way people post here when they can't reach someone at a large company they're having issues with in the hopes that an employee will come to their aid.

He definitely got voted out of the 'Nation of Islam' by the bullet, not the ballot. So maybe the example is a better one than you think.
No worries :) It is an important point that companies incentives are not always aligned with workers and government has a role to play in making sure they are protected.
PolicyGenius | New York, NY (NYC) | Full-Time | Onsite

Software engineer (full-stack or front-end, mid-to-senior)

We're looking for multiple new team members to help us build and grow our Rails and React applications.

Our stack:

- A lightly service-oriented architecture with the backends powered by Rails and a mix of Rails, Rails and React or full React on the frontend. Whatever makes the most sense for the application in question

- We use Redux as our flux-ish implementation of choice and believe strongly in a styleguide-driven modular CSS architecture to help keep the UI maintainable.

Our values:

- High-quality, robust code. We achieve this with a heavy focus on strong object-oriented design and great test coverage. We're firm believers in the benefits of test-driven development

- Collaboration and continuous learning - we pair program sometimes, we review each others code all the time and we love to pragmatically explore new technologies. We're able to keep our best practices evolving and help each other get up to speed quickly on new things.

- Full-stack skills. We're not all experts on all parts of the stack, but anyone can jump in and help wherever and as the team grows, everyone will be encouraged to rotate projects regularly to stay sharp and challenged.

About you:

- You're strong in either Rails or React (even better if both) and eager to work on both the front and back ends.

- You practice TDD and have strong opinions about why you do it.

About us:

Why `print` became a function in Python 3
This is completely meaningless since it doesn't take into account patches. I.e. It doesn't characterize the number of exploitable vulnerabilities on devices and still open to attack - just the number that were reported during the year.

The fact that there is still no jailbreak for the current version of iOS, whilst there are active million-node android botnets paints a different picture.
Ah, that's right, ranges was a new work item planned for TS (but still not planned for IS in C++17).
There is a proposal to add support for them - it is currently blocked on infrastructure work necessary to "do it right".
That's a ternary, not an if expression.
Seriously, I remember using a web chat client (might have been an old version of mibbit) which was "minimal" JS. Basically server side rendering of the incoming messages plus periodic page refreshes. It was a very poor user experience.
So selling good feature-complete software is insufficient. People must be forced to keep paying for it at regular intervals, whether they need updates or not.
Because they wanted OSX on #1? ;-)

London, UK | ONSITE | Full time | Frontend web dev

Boiler Room is the world’s leading community of underground music fans. We live-stream DJ sets and live gigs from music hubs such as London, Berlin, New York, Paris, LA and >60 other cities to music lovers all over the world. It started as a webcam taped to a warehouse wall in East London - in five years Boiler Room has grown to become the online home of underground music, and also a complex broadcasting and editorial platform in its own right.

We are currently in the process of building the next generation of the web app powering Boiler Room. We have upwards of a million views on our site a month, and that’s not including the hundreds of millions of views that our videos have accumulated on YouTube and Dailymotion. We want to create a completely unique web experience that lives up to the quality of our live shows. To do that we need someone who knows their way around the wonderful mess that is front-end web development, and truly cares about the experience that music lovers will have while using our web app on all kinds of devices.

You’ll be an essential part of a dev team currently consisting of 2 developers and 2 designers. You should have strong opinions about how web development should be done in 2015, and you should be able to come up with and implement new ideas for consuming & sharing online music experiences. You'll be working in our river-side office in Wapping, East London, and you’ll of course be able to go to and invite your friends to the exclusive parties being live-streamed on the site.

Our frontend stack: React, Redux, ImmutableJS, Gulp, Webpack, Babel, CSSNext

If this sounds like your kind of jam, email our tech lead (lachenmayer) <harry.l+hn@boilerroom.tv> or drop me a line <ben.jeffrey+hn@boilerroom.tv>

Tell them to imagine a busy, but orderly, grocery store where people are getting what they need for New Year's meals. It's one of few places community depends on to get what they need in life. Then, mask-wearing mobs of 500+ people rush in using their bodies to block every line, aisle entry/exit, register, and store exit. They physically stop all traffic from moving despite screams of protest and nobody can even call the cops because they jammed that, too. People squeeze by a little here & there but all action is frozen. And they pull this stunt on Christmas and New Years for a week straight.

Tell them that. Then say what happened to your business and customers was the digital version of it. They should get the idea.
Happy new year from Rio de Janeiro!
New York City, NY | Full-time, Onsite | Front End and Full-stack/Product Engineers

Bond Street (http://www.bondstreet.com) is a startup focused on transforming small business lending through technology, data and design. Small business owners are the foundation for growth in our economy, and yet today’s banking system has left them behind. We’re building a better future where access to financing is simple, transparent and fair.

Recently, we raised a $10m Series A from investors like Spark Capital and Homebrew, and a $100m lending facility from Jefferies, an investment bank. We’re looking for exceptional front-end and full-stack engineers (bonus points if you have a financial services background) to join our product team, which includes Tumblr's former creative director, Peter Vidani. You’ll be responsible for helping to transform the business lending experience for over 25 million small business owners in America.

Projects our engineers work on include designing algorithms for instant risk assessment, creating intuitive and delightful user interfaces for our online loan application, and constructing dashboards for internal and customer use that resurface small business data in ways that can inform credit use and business growth.
Send an email to our CTO at peytons@bondstreet.com if you’re interested.

Can arrange visa as needed.
Hope you enjoy it! One suggestion would be definitely read it in print. The book is packed full of diagrams, images and diary entries which I feel wouldn't work well on an e-reader.
What you're describing sounds a lot like a microlearning product we're in the process of building at Hello Code (https://hellocode.io). Stay tuned!
...I don't believe it's very complex, either.

Not using the blocklist software is fine, but that doesn't really address the other concerns I raised. I wouldn't want to be inadvertently identified as a member of a hate group.

MethodExists | Calgary, AB | Full-time | REMOTE | Backend developer with great SQL / Postgres experience

We are a Canadian company based in Calgary, but completely Remote, with developers all over the world. We are developing a universal web-based platform that can be customized for any industry. It is structured to allow non-technical people to edit everything from data model to forms and workflows and visualizations.

Some of the problems we're tackling:
- universal and safe formula language that's easier than Excel's.
- spinning up new sites instantly and allowing them to be hosted behind corporate firewalls
- visual form and report editors
- allowing business analysts to change data model live with zero downtime migrations

Some technologies we are using to achieve this:
- Javascript, node.js, React, D3.js, Leaflet
- Docker, Rancher
- Postgres, Redis, RabbitMQ

We are using Phabricator for project management, planning and code reviews. Communication happens through Slack and Google Hangouts. You should have an adequate intersection with UTC-7 and remote work experience! English is the language of communication, and quality communication is highly important. We write unit tests, lint, and continuously integrate with TeamCity. We are using all the best tools and philosophies to write high-quality code and automate and monitor delivery.

As we are Remote we do meet up from time to time, last time we met up to surf and hack in the Dominican Republic. Hired candidates will need to travel to meet teammates.

Your job will be writing backend APIs and coming up with the best SQL queries. You should know your database inside out, we are talking about automated migrations and deep schema analysis. You should also have a good idea about proper configuration, security and monitoring of the db cluster.

We offer a paid trial to prospective candidates, which are about deep immersion with the team, working completely integrated in the process. Your code will be reviewed by team-mates just like everyone else's does every time. This is about ensuring a good fit with team members and good productivity and understanding of our philosophy.

Please write to us and sell us on why you’re the right candidate. We don’t enforce a certain way of applying like CVs, so communicate in the way that best describes your value.

This is very specific to data science for now, but I'm working on Dataquest (https://www.dataquest.io), which has interactive explanations and diagrams. It's almost entirely reading theory and explanations + writing code. It's hard to get broad coverage like udemy/coursera, but it's a problem we'd love to work on in the future.

I've liked scotch.io for some dev things, and thinkster.io for some Angular/frontend.

Also check out these IPython notebooks for a ton of topics: https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/A-gallery-of-interes... .
Actually, they are used because news directors want to be able to break up the show with outside broadcasts to avoid the news simply being two people talking from a desk.

Windows 95 could almost run on 4MiB RAM, but that's with heavy swap use, as is the advertised minimum, 8MiB. 95 really needed 16MiB or so, to be fair to it.

Windows NT 4 could run in 16MiB but ideally had 32MiB.

"A large part of the code bloat problem can be resolved..."

...with deflating the front left tire a little bit, putting a magnet on the gas cap, folding in the side mirrors.

I think you missed the point of the talk (or didn't read or watch it), and the kind of solution you proposed is mentioned there.

(PS I agree with what you said, though, regarding JS dead code elimination.)
Do the people who think like seriously imagine that this is something reasonable and expectable, and not totally subjective to the style and habits of individual developers? I'm always baffled by managers or business people who seem to think quantification of productivity is easy. They must be incredibly lazy to not want to invest themselves in understanding what their developers are doing to gauge productivity themselves. Is this a sign of horrible management, or at least, as you say it, management that has become horribly out of touch with their developers?
you still get to chose who your peers are, and whose opinion you value

Is that any less influenced by self-approval, and the approval of others?
Same here. Can I get a beta key as well? :)

Karius | Menlo Park, CA | ONSITE, Full-time | Molecular Biology, Software (Full Stack), Computational Biology, Wet-lab Automation, Machine Learning

We are a team of crazy biologists, engineers, data scientists and clinicians on a mission to change forever the way infectious diseases are diagnosed and treated. We face incredibly interesting challenges in software engineering, machine learning and molecular biology, as we push the limits of diagnostics and genomic technologies. We're hiring molecular biologists, computational biologists, software engineers and data scientists. Join us on the ground-level for this exciting journey to shape our technology, product and company culture.

If you're a software engineer, we're looking for experience in front-end, back-end, intrastructure, devops, bioinformatics, and machine learning. We have a varied list of challenges; we build large data processing pipelines to analyze data from in-house DNA sequencers, separate the signal from the noise and extract what we need, and visualize this in ways that are helpful for scientists and doctor; we build web apps and tools for biologists and doctors to use to plan, conduct, and analyze experiments; we work closely with molecular biologists to analyze data generated by these experiments and develop novel computational biology methods. We mostly use Haskell (for many things), Python (for bioinformatics), and React/ES6 (for front-end interfaces), backed by infrastructure built on top of AWS and Docker.

If any of this sounds exciting to you, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us: gstock@kariusdx.com

> This was the year I realized that one language does not fit all, and that it is okay to have more than one favorite language.

Same here. This, funnily enough, had the nice effect of taking a lot of stress out of talking about programming languages.
I'm a bit surprised to see the update from someone who is not senior management/C-level (as far as I can tell). Where is the communication from the CEO/CTO?

It seems a bit unfair to have this fall on Alex's shoulders.
I could be way off base, happy to be put right. I'm sorry to hear about your ruined holidays. Hopefully you'll get some time off soon :)
