Booking.com - https://booking.com - Amsterdam(Netherlands), Shanghai (China), ONSITE

Full-time, relocation to Amsterdam, (H1B or its dutch equivalent anyway) is taken care of by the company.

General Interview Process -> Hackerrank test, call with the recruiter, phone interview, onsite interviews

I work at Booking.com, which is a world leader in travel accommodations, as a backend developer. I have only positive things to say about working here. The people are intelligent and helpful, interesting problems to solve and the work hours are unbelievably sane. The company is strongly data driven and very dynamic, which was one of its biggest charms for me. Amsterdam is not a bad place to be either :) The Dutch government also gives a tax break through the 30% ruling to non-dutch people.

The work environment is very international and everybody speaks fluent English. The relocation process is also very finely tuned through years of experience of doing this. Several people have reached out to me from these threads and have been flown to Amsterdam for interviews. Around 10 people have been given offers and more are in the middle of the interview process.

If you have any other questions about the company or the hiring process or you would like me to refer you, please feel free to send me an email at siddharthsarda01 at gmail.com (Email also in my profile at Hacker news).

SEEKING WORK

Location: Remote - I’m from the UK, living in Portugal

Availability: up to 3 days per week

I’m a JavaScript programmer, both front- and back-end. I’m familiar with ES2015+, the Node.js ecosystem and toolchain, and have been a web developer since my first website in 1999.

I have created and coordinated many web apps through my Brighton-based agency (http://dharmafly.com), and know what it is like to lead a project. These days I focus on my role as a freelancer for startups, companies and individuals.

Recent projects include: a Meteor/React-based community voting app; a Node.js web scraping spider; a SVG generator; and a test suite for a legal document generator. Happy to share details.

From an editorial perspective, more or less establishment left-of-center. I'm not sure I'd draw much of a distinction between it and the New York Times although--at least historically--the Washington Post (unsurprisingly) majored in US politics to a greater degree than the Times. In other words, pretty typical US major urban newspaper.
I can confirm that the 'best experience' for browsing the site is with NoScript. The page loads lightning fast and I can read the stories and see the images just fine. If I need progressive enhancement I know how to selectively enable it. I see these stories about adblock detectors and so far they all seem to rely on JavaScript. JavaScript is great if it is adding a function or some content I want, but unfortunately that's not what usually happens.

I think we've reached a tipping point recently where the relative annoyance of disabling Javascript is now less than the benefit of allowing it everywhere.

While true, I find that they kind of tasteless, overall. And I love me some good fries.
That sounds about exactly what one would expect. The best and the brightest of Stanford run into tech (mostly based in the Bay Area), and the best and the brightest from Princeton stream into finance and consulting firms (mostly based in New York.)
I often go on jsfiddle to quickly do some stuff that may or may not be shown to other people. Hyperdev does that with a little twist that allow me to do even more quicker. It's not meant to make your next product, it's meant to quickly prototype something, probably for fun, possibly to do something bigger later, but certainly not to develop on some kind of commercial project.

So I did this in my own recent project. Then other JS libraries I was using needed jquery and it went right back in. I think many people will run into this.

I do agree that it should get out of default Rails. GJ community.
Taking on ISIS? First, that's easier said than done. They're not an army that you can just take on in open field. See occupation of Irak. But really, the war in Syria and Lybia didn't get started by ISIS and won't end if we "end ISIS", not that I think that's possible anyways. Personally, I think you have a point, and the best way to help somehow fix the clusterfuck that we (the West) created in these countries is send lots of money and help to set up refugees up in other countries in the region (Jordan, etc). But NOT Turkey, which seems to grow every day more and more extremist and I get the feeling refugees are going to be miserable at best there.
Well, it isn't ISIS alone. In Syria, you have the Kurds fighting against islamists (ISIS and others), the Turks and against Assad, you have the Free Syrian Army fighting against ISIS and Assad, you have Assad, you have Russians, Iranians, Americans and maybe others I forgot. So defeating ISIS might be possible and is being worked on - however, finding a livable solution for the whole middle east, inclusing Lybia and Iraq, is on a whole different level.

Same boat here. I've repeatedly thought about going to UU events, but they're still too New Age for me. I've long been somewhat envious of my Jewish friends for the strong community aspect of the culture, which requires too much religion in other, well, religions. Nothing else seems to really drive as much community though, as far as I've seen at least.
I understand that its slightly beyond the scope of this article, but it is important to note that many, many people give informed consent for Google et al to track their location history. Both Google Maps and Google Photos insist on enabling Location History on your account.

While Google has proven itself competent at ensuring warrants are valid, I do not feel that is enough protection. Warrants may be valid, but the idea that a single entity has access to my location history and can be compelled to produce it is a bridge to far, in my opinion.

Basically, people knowingly and willingly give up their privacy for features and convenience.

From my personal experience, I completely agree.

For an academic project, I was calculating ~2mln RNA-RNA interactions from their sequences. Since this calculation stays a requirement for all further calculations, being the naïve kid I was, I started pickle'ing the results.

To feel like the cool kid, I wanted to involve a database somehow -- so after trying out a bunch of options, I finally settled for ZODB. As the project scaled up, soon the ZODB started being a big pain, because as I recall, it only allows a limited number of connections even in the read operations.

Lesson learned, though, it now resides as a lookup table in a PgSQL instance.

I feel like the rails-api built into Rails 5 solves a lot of this. None of these will be installed when you `rails new project --api`. Doesn't help if you're just trying to do static HTML though.

cosmic-panther is your random word set for your instance.
This is interesting, the problems you're describing are exactly the ones I want to take care of implementing myself. I don't want built-in user management - the way I want to handle users will more than likely vary between projects. I'd rather worry about the implementation of the app than stitching together frameworks to start out. I can go from `rails new appname` to having a working blog in about 15 minutes, which is an awesome way to start a project. Get it working, then worry about whether you want Turbolinks or not. Because starting out, Turbolinks and jQuery are Good Enough™ to get most projects going.
It is for "most web apps" because most web apps are like basecamp, and it isn't "use the latest or GTFO". It is "use the latest by default or add a single line to your gem file if you want to support older browsers."

Most web apps are only tested on the latest browsers anyway, even if they claim to support older browsers. This is true unless you have a very popular app and a very large team.
