More about our culture at http://helpscout.com/careers

The 19-person engineering team at Help Scout is full of people dedicated to a wonderful experience for our 5,000+ customers in more than 60 countries. We’re excited to add the third full-time JavaScript engineer to the team, who will work on our Docs product.

We work remotely and autonomously for the most part, which is why this position requires senior-level skill and experience. We're looking for folks who write tests and are rather stubborn about quality front to back.

We Use
- Backbone.js, Marionette, jQuery
- PHP / Java (for backend & APIs)
- Node.js

You'll be part of a 3-person team that owns our Docs knowledge base product. The other two engineers work on the Java API and you’ll be responsible for the single-page app that makes up the admin interface. On a given day you’d be adding new features, writing tests and improving performance.

You’ll also work with two other full-time JavaScript engineers on the team to maintain and improve the standards and best practices we want to use across all Help Scout products. Our design team owns most of the html/css work and will help you make sure everything ends up being pixel perfect.

You may also end up doing some work on the Docs front-end that’s customer-facing (like docs.helpscout.net), which is just lightweight Scala templates and jQuery.

Aside from a weekly check in and bi-weekly planning meeting, you'll be able to work interruption-free. 90% of our communication happens in Slack. You can work anywhere in the world as long as you have 4+ hours of overlap time with your teammates.

Everything is secondary to the customer experience. We expect you to have a keen sense of how your code will impact the experience in terms of performance, security and usability.

You'll be working with product people that challenge you to get better every day. The founders are technical and committed to creating a magical experience for customers. You'll deploy work that moves the needle for businesses around the world.

Sugar Eiffel Tower dessert would be awesome! But then again, there are plenty of mass-produced items that are identical, intricate, and perfect. Part of the lure of gourmet is the hand-crafted dish unique to me.

I'm glad to see experimentation in gastronomy. Ultimately, the consumer will decide what techniques take hold for the long run.
I think Eco's writing demonstrates that there is no such thing. Intellectual, sure, but not pure.
I do no think "Don’t create large images" is a good one. I prefer to have a single image that I use to run multiple containers with different services that forms a pod. This greatly simplifies distribution as I need just single image file. It also greatly simplifies updates.

But with such image it is useful to add few tools so docker exec -ti container /bin/bash creates a shell that one can use for debugging or verification.

Truth be told, "Freedom", as defined as:
n. The condition of being free of restraints.
n. Liberty of the person from slavery, detention, or oppression.

Would fit squarely under level 2 "Safety" needs in Maslow's hierarchy. Therefore "Live Free or Die" would essentially translate as "Level 2 Needs fulfilled, or Deny me my Level 1 needs".

Basically, hardcore libertarians feel that nothing should keep them from fulfilling their physiological needs, and the only thing that might would be government force. if Government force is stopping your family from eating (See: bread lines in Russia during CCCP), You're already unable to meet your safety needs, which will naturally lead to revolt/rebellion.

>Now, I do not understand why a flashing switch should create stress.

"Oh, shoot, no, I don't want that switch to flip!"

I wonder, though, if after enough use, you'll acclimate to the device being "smart", and no longer stress about the switch flipping.

I suppose the problem solves itself, though, because one false positive puts you right back into the stress zone.

"best place to work" is a relative term, while a "job you love" is not relative (not based on comparison with other available options).

With a job you love, one is happy with just subsistence level compensation. There are very few jobs like that IMO, mainly either the ones which involve a large creative and independent component (some artists, scientists, maybe entrepreneurs) or working for the greater good.

SEEKING FREELANCER

Location: Berlin, Germany

Technologies: Swift, iOS

We, http://www.commercetools.com offer SDKs for the JVM, Node JS and PHP and our e-commerce platform is used for many web shops. With your help, we want to bring it to iOS. Support us to optimize our REST API for mobile use cases and offer a SDK for Swift!

We're looking for a freelancer with lots of iOS knowledge and a good grasp on the Swift ecosystem. I'm a backend dev with some mobile experience, and together with the (web-)SDK devs I want to bring our API to iOS. We've built this before for other ecosystems, and therefore we know it's important to have experience with the ecosystem one is building for (which we are currently lacking).

You will then use the SDK in small demo apps, and you will port an existing app from Obj-C to Swift and the new SDK (basically, throw everything away but the UI ;) ).

All your work will be open-source, developed publicly on GitHub.

We're planning with ~3 months of work currently.

Regarding remote: We'd prefer it if you could spend at least some time in our office (If you're a digital nomad, Berlin is a great city to visit :) )

Feel free to ping me with any questions at christoph.neijenhuis (at) commercetools.de

stupid question, but when it lists 5 year return at 10.7%, does that mean it returned on average 10 % per year for 5 years? So if someone started with 100k, they would now have about 160,000?

As I used `make` more and more for our node projects, I missed the clean outputs `grunt` or `gulp` provide.

To fix that, I created `make2tap`: https://www.npmjs.com/package/make2tap

This small utility takes a `make` output and generate a `TAP` one that you can pipe to any `TAP reporter`.

- How could they know that you are not going to screw them by asking a refund and then not sending back the item ?

- They may want to inspect the item before refunding you. Maybe you broke the item, void the warranty for some reason and want a refund.

And the list could go on and on. There is nothing wrong with that attitude. If it takes too long (over a month), contact them.

This comment isn't very good. For one thing Africa is very very diverse (heck the most genetically diverse place on Earth) and full of different cultures, including western cultures.

Also 'Africa' isn't very closed off to the rest of the world contrary to what you may believe. Things have changed over the past few decades.

If you're going to generalise you might want to visit Africa before comparing her to something else, or mention a city that is a more apt comparison to Oakland.
I agree that standard deviation might not be the best measure of risk. That's why there are many other measures exist that try to address issues. But you cannot compare returns without looking at risk.

Comparing fund performance is a tricky business and often you can cherry pick methodology easily to support any conclusion you desire.
Pretty sure you can't have one with 4 quarks, there'd be no way to make it colourless (so it couldn't occur in isolation). It seems 2 quarks and 2 anti-quarks is the only possible combination.

The paper probably considers this 'basic knowledge' which is why they didn't mention it in the abstract. Not sure why the Scientific American article doesn't mention it but maybe they didn't want to explain colour charges.

I have no idea how you could get that second interpretation from what he said. And the perspective is clearly inherited from the parent comment, who didn't mention being "on board" a bus, just "on the road with" a bus.

No ambiguity in that comment that I can see.

EDIT: I guess the use of rather in this context could be a colloquialism?
While Apple should assist with the unlocking of iPhones to assist in prosecution of suspected criminals, the idea that the Feds want Apple to make a backdoor program to every single iPhone is terrifying, even if they are required to gain a warrant before using the program. The entire notion of one government agency holding so much data and power is absurd and coercing a company to make the program shouldn't be allowed.

Relations between those what run wiki and those what own wiki have always been strained.

I'd imagine the LYING about the new product idea is a bigger cause of vitriol than the product itself.

Wikipedia editors had been asking to see documentation about the Knight Foundation grant for several months, but Wikimedia was not forthcoming with the details.

Earlier this month, documents related to the grant were leaked to and published by The Signpost, Wikipedia's online newspaper. In a special report, The Signpost published the 13-page grant agreement and ran an article asserting that the "Knowledge Engine" would be, contrary to statements by Jimmy Wales and other board members, some type of generalized Internet search engine.
>Is any industrial worker going to be seen dead wearing this thing, given how it appears currently?

Yes.

I worked for two years as an industrial electrician. Industrial workers will generally eschew PPE in general when they think it's an unnecessary burden and that they can get away with it. That's why projects have foremen and companies have internal safety inspectors to police the foremen.

This won't be any different.
With my consulting work, I still end up doing a lot of desktop application development. I've been on the lookout for a GUI toolkit that I could use to replace WinForms in my workflow. Ideally, it'd be cross-platform, support native widgets, and provide the de facto standard OO API that every other GUI toolkit has converged on. I know WinForms doesn't check all those boxes, but I see no point in moving to WPF which checks even fewer.

So I get excited when GUI toolkit projects get posted on HN. And then I'm usually deflated when I look at the screenshots. I know they haven't built these programs themselves, so it's not necessarily their fault that these developers have gone with the everything-and-the-kitchen-sink style of UI design. But they also chose to feature these particular projects, so someone there thinks these are good examples, which does not speak well towards their commitment to enabling good design.
https://www.wxwidgets.org/about/screenshots/

Most of these examples feature something you should never do: selectively replacing the standard widgets from your operating system's toolkit. Either create/use a different toolkit entirely or use the defaults, don't mix and match.

It's disheartening to think that, in 2016, the least-bad way to design a UI is to wrap up a browser as a widget and sling HTML/CSS.
We shouldn't need a law for this. From the facts presented in the article seems like a case where an employer can "do the right thing".

I get that this provides context specific information to the wearer. But the site makes no mention of the safety aspects? In all the images, the sides of the head and the ears are totally exposed.
