Looking for a full-time contractor to work on a 6 month project. The client is a spinoff of an established company looking to create an innovative web application in the travel technology space. We are assembling a small, multi-disciplinary team to build the beta version of the application.

The application will involve a healthy mix of technologies. The backend is being built with Laravel 5 and a PostgreSQL database. The system will rely on data from various sources including third party APIs, user generated content, and an internal dataset. The fronted is being built with Backbone and will have interactive features including real time chat and live updates via web sockets.

As a full stack developer, this position will help lead the design and implementation of the backend code base. This will include design patterns for the internal data relations, fetching and caching third party resources, and implementing a service layer for the fronted code base. As part of a small team, a willingness to experiment with new technologies and methods as well as contribute to other parts of the stack will be critical for success.

Required Skills:
3-5 Years of PHP Development
2+ Years of Laravel Experience
Working Knowledge with PostgresSQL or MySQL
- Familiarity with ORM based queries
- Comfort writing customer queries
Experience using git in a team setting
Working knowledge of javascript
Ability to self-direct
Strong communication
Understanding of RESTful fundamentals

Preferred Skills:
Strong foundation in HTML5
Working knowledge of jQuery, Underscore and/or Backbone
Exposure to web sockets
Comfortable with Linux Server Environments

Candidate should be located in or able to work in North American timezones. A weekly workshop/status meeting will be expected during initial phases of development (compensated).

Our interview process typically consists of one to two virtual interviews (Hangout/Skype)

Agreed. I am sitting here baffled hoping someone with a finance background comments and explains why this makes sense.

Wouldn't this ruling mean that going forward private equity companies will pay even less for companies, building into the price that somewhere along the way they will get sued and have to pony up some more?

I have a high-res XPS 13. I can't speak for unity, I use Xfce on it. After a bit of setup (set Xft/DPI, panel size, fonts), most things work pretty well. There's a few special snowflake apps that need custom setup - firefox ignores system dpi, but has its own layout.css.devPixelsPerPx setting that works well. Rarely there'll be an app that ignores dpi and doesn't have its own settings, which you can use xfwm's full-screen-zoom feature to make usable.

The main problem comes when you connect to a (normal-resolution) external monitor, because in X, different monitors (which are just views onto the same underlying X screen) can't have different DPIs. To solve that I set the system dpi correct for the external monitor, and use xrandr screen scaling, ie `xrandr --output eDP1 --scale 0.5x0.5`. (Which means I'm not taking advantage of the high res then, but when I'm using my giant external monitor, it and my laptop are pretty far from my eyes, so I don't care so much. I use a fork of xrandr which uses exact pixel quadrupling when you set a scale of 0.5x0.5, by default it blurs to antialias everything even when it doesn't need to, ie reciprocal-integer scaling values). I have a pair of scripts[0] that run when I plug and unplug my external monitor that make the change reasonably seamless (except for having to restart firefox).

Fundraising Wisdom That Helped Our Founders Raise $18B in Follow-On Capital
I've also seen internal systems become far more complicated because there was no check on what a project owner could request and cloud systems drive simplicity because e.g. you couldn't try to force Amazon to implement some weird custom behaviour one of your legacy app development teams thought they needed.

The general trend I follow is that you're good at things you do regularly. That means that internal systems tend to be much worse at recovering from failure (i.e. the time to recover can be days or even weeks) unless they are careful to design with redundancy in mind and practice it regularly. That's a time-honored tradition in large IT shops but it's also one which often requires constant effort to justify the "wasteful" expense even in places which should know better.

The given example - $10 v. $20 so you pay $12 - is an example of the principle of consumer surplus. Not the EMH.

"The efficient markets hypothesis" is not precisely the same as "consumer surplus". The EMH is dependent on consumer surplus, but the EMH could be wrong and consumer surplus would still not be.

Consumer surplus is a microeconomics concept; the EMH is macro.

Wow guess that is also not important about the general decline of Newspapers and their business models.

This is a easy observation on the decline of journalism and newspapers. Unless you deem everyone unable to form a observation on general newspapers?
I think that number was reached by trying to figure out how much value the shareholders would have had if they'd held on (for a long time) and eventually sold after the current plans had come to fruition.

The flaw in the logic is likely in that it de-valuates the risk associated with holding on to the shares, particularly in a short term focused market. Also, that over time business strategy and direction change. Finally if they thought the price was too low why did they sell in the first place?

Modern browsers... except Google Chrome, which has at least 40% market share.

Google Chrome does not support applets in any way since the deprecation of NPAPI.
By default: yes.

Recently docker introduced a --userns-remap flag for the daemon which allows interested users to define a user that "root" in containers should be mapped to. And it will also create one automatically if the flag is invoked without specifying one explicitly.

It's not on by default because of backwards compatibility issues. For one thing, bind mounts as most users rely on them today would likely break completely. But the option is there.
The argument is that some people were compelled to sell at this low price, and a fair price (the nearly-$18 number) is about what would have persuaded them to sell. All the high-sounding ideas about making arguments by offering to buy ignores the fact that this wasn't a market deal: small shareholders were compelled to sell whether they wanted to or not, and the board had a fiduciary interest to them.

RepSpark Systems | Costa Mesa, CA | Full-time | ONSITE

We’re a casual, seven-person software development team based in Orange County, CA (south of Los Angeles). We provide many large apparel brands with intuitive and efficient sales workflows, enabling sales representatives to place bulk orders for brick and mortar stores (i.e. how O’Neill ends up in Tilly’s or how Armada ends up on Backcountry). Our stack includes JavaScript (ES6), TypeScript, C#, ASP.NET, SQL Server, memcached, MongoDB, React.js, and Redux.

We are looking for talented engineers who have strong skills in application-level TypeScript/JavaScript. This includes engineers with experience applying design patterns to their code (Module, Sandbox, etc.), implementing modularization, writing unit tests, and optimizing
performance.

We think it’s especially awesome if you have experience with modern JavaScript libraries, such as Backbone.js, React.js, Angular.js, Ember.js, Polymer.js, etc. You will work in a highly collaborative, cross-functional, and Agile team and may take a lead role on various software components.

We’re also big on fun. It’s not uncommon to spontaneously jump into a table tennis match. Plus, every Friday we eat and drink together.

Please email hn@repspark.com with applications or questions. We'd love to hear from you!

While your criticism stands, I think the reasoning behind the click-bait headlines isn't "our readers need to be reminded that this is worth reading", but an exploitation of human curiosity: if the headline contains an implicit question, the reader is compelled to click through to discover the answer. It's annoying, but I guess it works, since Buzzfeed continues to exist.
There are any number of ways to deanonymize users once javascript is running, not to mention the greater possibility of escaping the sandbox. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario.

I know they're trying to serve users that can't be expected to play the whitelisting game, but they really should be stricter here. It's already trivial to differentiate a Tor user from a regular one, they might as well set the most secure defaults possible.
