I think you'd need to define "good" to get a usable answer to this question. What features are you looking for? How many people will be using it? Have you looked at anything already? If so, what did you like/not like about them?

That said, check out Redmine and Tiaga and possibly Kanboard.
Well, we are discussing chat for open source projects, rather than, say, what to use at a company. Some technical knowledge might be expected in this crowd.
Thanks for the clarification -- I might suggest that the word "web developer" not be used, because it obscures the meaning -- when you say "web developer" and "lisp", I instantly think Clojurescript (maybe it's just me). Now that I understand it I get how useful it is -- I've always found it difficult to wrangle the different implementations of common lisp.

If I'm understanding correctly, what you mean is people who develop web application servers, or the "backend" part of websites/apps.

Also it would be wonderful if the first thing in the readme was just how to set up with a specific language. A "getting started" section might be just the trick, to show that you can install roswell, and then install your desired implementation of common lisp super quickly and easily.

Also thanks for sharing on the fragmentation front -- I thought SBCL still had a bunch of competitors.. Though I know racket has quite it's share of proponents.
How is it not biodegradable? It's mostly carbon and calcium, right? In which case it's as natural as it can be - saying it's not biodegradable is like saying that rocks are not biodegradable. You could probably use it as a fertilizer(not that you would want to, respect towards the deceased and all that) and it would be absolutely fine. Cemetery land is essentially locked for hundreds of years, probably more since no one wants to be turning 500-year old graves into farmland.
Read the article. They're not bricking things this time, just refusing to talk to them.

And quite frankly, why should they be responsible for any of those things? Shouldn't the fault be on the people who used fake chips?

Riot Games | http://www.riotgames.com/careers | Los Angeles | Full Time

TL/DR: I'm looking for any engineer that has mastery of CS fundamentals and loves games. Junior, senior, doesn't matter. What matters is that you're smart, knowledgeable about CS, and incredibly passionate about games. Message me via jmazer@riotgames.com if you want to chat.

I search for people who are passionate about games. Not the kinds that just dabble, and who sometimes reminisce about that time that they played Mario back in the day. I look for the kinds that can literally count their play time in years rather than days. Notice - I'm not talking about League... That's because R&D is focused on making Riot's NEXT game. We're looking at several different spaces and we need talent with as varied a palette of interests as our development interests.

I'm not only looking for industry veterans. If you come from a Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc., and want to keep your standard of living, work on games, and also keep a high level of stability, Riot is a great place to consider making an industry change.

Reasons you might want to chat:

1.) Riot believes in delivering genre-defining content that delights players. The R&D group's charter is to flesh out and eventually ship the game(s) that put the 's' in Riot Games. If you want to build new stuff this is the place to be.

2.) We’ve only got a few R&D projects going at a time, with a handful of people on each team. Joining the team now means playing a seminal role in developing and leading the downstream organization.

3.) Riot landed as #13 on Fortune's top 100 companies to work for.

4.) We’re exploring some familiar genres and some experimental ones, but all of them are genres we expect core gamers love. It's likely you'll be excited by at least one of our current projects.

There are many IRC servers. IRC daemons are available as free software that anyone can run. Freenode is not particularly problematic. It is an organization of servers run by a community, not a company. By asking someone to login to Freenode I do not entice them to use proprietary software like I would if I asked them to use Slack.
Don't take a cheque ;)

Really depends on who is calling the shots: the individual developer might not have the authority, but for someone higher up paying a fee to make the problem go away might be very reasonable.

(Although it is an interesting question, how would you have a client you only trust somewhat pay quickly for something like this if neither side is prepared? Western Union?)
Well, technically hubot did the engaging.
C# .NET Developer | Stridatum LLC | http://stridatum.com | Remote / Contract

Looking for a developer with UI Automation framework experience to help out on a desktop app I've been building. I need a method that will give me the following information about the currently active window (my app runs in the background):

- Application name
- Title bar text
- Open Document filename (if any)
- Active URL if Edge, IE, Chrome, or Firefox browsers

I'm primarily a backend developer, but have recently picked up enough C#/.NET to be dangerous, I'm just having trouble fully wrapping my head around the UI Automation framework. I think it'll be more effective to have someone with experience do this and let me focus on other pieces.

This won't be for malware/scammy stuff, it's user-voluntary to collect some context for a time tracking app similar to RescueTime.

I'm near Charlotte, NC, so someone I can meet in person would be preferred, but remote is perfectly fine. If you're actually reading this, include the word "DrPepper" in your email otherwise I'll just delete it - I got too much spam last time and very few actual code samples. This particular project is small but there is plenty more available for the right person.

Email a link to your github profile or a short C# .NET code sample to jobs at stridatum.com. No recruiters please.
I'm no fan of Slack, but it has IRC and XMPP gateways. You can trivially set up an IRC bot that logs your channels & conversations, I connect to Slack via irssi & use its standard logging facility.

So you're no more likely to lose your logs via Slack than via IRC or XMPP if you set things up correctly.

Good point, that's true. I still believe that it was an error of the European Commission to place the responsibility on the website operators instead of, say, browser vendors.
Indulging yourself eating junk food believing that you will lose weight and become fit in the near future anyway.

Day dreaming and generally being oblivious .. is probably strongly correlated with this kind of thinking. At least anecdotally I know it in myself.

Day dreaming is the opposite of "conscientiousness".
I tried to get it further by proposing a neutrino-based communication system. Can just send the signals straight through the planet itself to a datacenter very far away. I was told there would be both implementation problems and cost overruns with that project. Went back to default recommendations for wireless.
Yep - and with that I completely agree -- just wanted to convey that the odds aren't like... 9/10 succeed, but like you said, it's waaaaay better than starting just about any other type of business
If writing a bot is a reasonable solution for IRCs shortcomings, then writing a Slack bot to do long term archiving of messages is also reasonable .
You mean like this?

Web designers - Take note of the NYTimes.com header that appears after you scroll down to the content. These dynamically-appearing headers are a good idea, but nobody seems to get the nuance right.

If I scroll until the top of the article is at the top of the page, then start reading, I suddenly can't because this inept header just appeared covering the top 10% of the page. Now I have to scroll back up to see the content.

If it had appeared when the massive full-screen image WAS the top 10% it'd've been a perfectly seamless header introduction, but instead they wait until there's something valuable at the top of the page to introduce it.

Tesorio (https://www.tesorio.com) | Millbrae, CA | ONSITE

Tesorio is a Y Combinator-backed startup that is reinventing the way money moves from companies that have it to those that need it most. Companies use Tesorio to offer their suppliers and vendors faster payments in exchange for small discounts. Suppliers love this because they get paid faster instead of waiting 30, 60 or 90 days. Companies love this because those small discounts represent great, risk free returns on cash.

We raised a seed round led by top investors including First Round Capital (Uber + Warby Parker), Floodgate Capital (Twitter + Lyft), Fuel Capital (Layer + CoreOS), Red Swan (Coinbase + Buffer), Slow Ventures (early Facebook team), and Paul Buchheit (creator of Gmail, YC Partner).

Making a Service Worker: A Case Study
Compared to the energy you will use throughout your life, the energy used for a cremation is trivial (about a 5,000 mile drive).

Most US car owners drive at most 10,000 miles a year. A half year's driving? That's only a trivial energy use by 1st and 0th world standards.

This.

Well, I must admit, XMPP isn't the nicest protocol out there, and it has some issues (esp. with older software that implements it). One can't talk it with telnet client, and this is a downside. We've discussed it the other day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10900859

But it has advantages over IRC. To name a few:

- Universal federation. Private systems (that don't have S2S enabled) aside, any public XMPP server can talk to any public XMPP server. You don't need to have a separate account here, there and everywhere. Not that IRC really needs accounts (one can surely use it without signing up with NickServ etc), but sometimes it does.

- History access. Well, it requires server to have MAM (XEP-0313) support, but if it does, then everything is there.

- File transfers. Unlike Slack, it may not work for absolutely everyone but I think Jingle had gone through a lot of work and is quite capable of piercing quite draconian NATs. I'm not sure IRC's DCC is anywhere near. Well, and there's also in-band file transfers (XEP-0047) that's awful and sucks but still works for tiny content (short code snippets). And XEP-0363, although not many servers support it. XMPP's messiness has both down- and upsides.

- Integrations. I think there are as many XMPP bots as there are IRC ones. Either way, there are ton of libraries for most languages so one can hack their own simple XMPP bot literally in just a few of hours.

- Extensibility. XMPP can attach virtually arbitrary metadata to messages, or send extra information like typing notifications or delivery receipts. Well, it all depends on client support, but you don't need a committee to think of your own standard and make a ejabberd/Pidgin/Gajim/etc plugin or patch. And, possibly, think of compatibility approach for non-supporting clients. That's it. I don't think IRC has anything like this.

- OMEMO (of Axolotl/TextSecure/Signal fame). It's not mature, but one can already have multi-point end-to-end encryption for personal conversations. Sadly, not for chatrooms yet (MUC doesn't support PubSub, MUC2 aka MIX isn't yet here), but I'm sure it will work in the future.
What would you suggest would have been fair in this case?
KPCC (Southern California Public Radio) | Applications Developer (Audio) | Los Angeles or remote | Full-Time

Some of the biggest names in public radio - NPR, KPCC, WNYC, and WHYY - are partnering to build a system that simplifies the workflow and delivery of on-demand and podcast audio. Our goal is to create the platform that many public radio stations use to power their digital audio future.

We’re looking for a passionate developer to build the core systems and services around audio upload, management and delivery. If you're a dev who loves podcasts and public radio, this is a unique opportunity to have an impact on the future of the industry. Developers on our team work across the stack to build web applications, and get excited about learning new things. Most of our apps are written using Rails, Ruby, Javascript, Node.js and the Elastic stack.

The development of this project will be led by the product team at KPCC. We're based in Pasadena, but are open to remote candidates. If you're interested, check out our full posting here: http://bit.ly/1m8yQps.

But it did exist, which is clearly the point here.
Not quite, failing to talk to them would be not sending anything, what they're actually doing is much worse. Based on what people have seen it's sending random data to the device. E.G. I send it something like "Hello World" and it sends the device "Launch Nuke". If it actually failed to talk to the device that wouldn't be too bad, it would just look like the chip was defective. What it's doing is massively dangerous because it's basically performing fuzzing on the underlying device and who knows what that might trigger.
I watched the entire season of Community on Yahoo TV on my AppleTV. I never saw a single ad-either before/during/after the video, or in the app itself.

There are an awful lot of referrer links in this article. That's not a bad thing by itself, but it always makes me ask the question - Did this person write the article they wanted to write and then add referrer links, or did they decide to put in a load of referrer links and then build an article around it?
Perhaps in several thousand years when humanity has been overtaken by bio-augmentations and genetic engineering, when consciousness can be uploaded and modified. "We" will look back at human beings as only the precursor to life. In this sense, you most certainly were born to write code and die.
