Boomkat.com | Manchester, UK | Freelance Frontend Engineer | Contract | REMOTE or ONSITE

We're in the process of developing a complete overhaul of the current Boomkat website. Encompassing a download store and ecommerce functionality for our physical sales, it's a sizeable project. With over a million tracks in our back catalogue, and millions of orders, we operate at a scale which represents some unique challenges, and opportunities.

We're focusing on improving the overall user experience of the website, creating something that's beautiful and engaging, and better using the depth of data we house. What we're building right now will lay the foundations for an exciting second phase, where we plan to break new ground in delivering incredible experiences around our music.

The new website is built in Ruby on Rails, and uses React.js and Redux heavily on the front end. We're looking for a skilled, detail oriented contract Javascript developer to join the team. We're a small, fast moving team, with a wide range of skills. We work remotely, but have a base in Manchester.

Someone who would enjoy this role will have:

- A thorough understanding of React and Redux, and working knowledge of Ruby on Rails.
- Good working knowledge of responsive design processes and techniques
- Experience delivering cross-platform applications for the web; particularly in a mobile environment.
- Plenty of experience writing well structured and tested code, in a continuous delivery process.
- An ability to work quickly, whilst still maintaining a robust and stable codebase.

Pivotal | ONSITE at many locations worldwide | Engineers, Designers, Product Managers, Pre/Post-Sales Engineers, Ops, Sales, Admin

Pivotal's goal is to change the way the world makes software and we kinda sorta really mean it.

We value aptitude over alma mater, empathy over a list of APIs. It doesn't matter whether your resumé says PHP or PhD: if you're smart, empathetic and know some stuff, we want to work with you.

We have offices in SF, NYC, Santa Monica, Palo Alto, Seattle, Boulder, Denver, Chicago, Boston, Washington DC, Atlanta, Austin, Dallas/Ft Worth, Toronto, London, Paris, Dublin, Tokyo, Sydney, Berlin, Singapore and Beijing. More offices open soon. Not all offices are hiring, but keep checking.

We're broken into three main divisions: Pivotal Labs (yes, that Pivotal Labs), Cloud R&D and Big Data.

-- Pivotal Labs helps clients to become better at product development. For engineering we are religiously lean and agile. In practice that means we pair program and TDD every line of code from the outside. Our product managers are fantastic at keeping products sharply focused, our designers are masters from users to pixels.

-- Cloud R&D is where we build the best cloud platform available. We're the majority contributors to the Cloud Foundry project. Our distribution has the fastest-growing sales of any opensource product ever and it's still zooming up and to the right.

Except for upstream code, every line is pair programmed and TDD'd. We dogfood the cutting edge of the technology on our own commercial public cloud (Pivotal Web Services). It works because we took the XP and Lean DNA of Pivotal Labs and scaled it up to build the best cloud platform available.

-- Big Data is our suite of battled-hardened products, now open sourced. Greenplum tackles massive datasets with the comfort of PostgreSQL. Apache HAWQ (incubating) brings Greenplum's distributed query planner to Hadoop. Gemfire, donated as Apache Geode (incubating), is an in-memory distributed grid with years of high performance in high-stakes systems.

-- Generally

At our offices we have free breakfast, weekly tech talks, excellent benefits and competitive pay. Ping pong isn't mandatory, but it's popular. I think west-coast ping pong is harder to beat, but east-coast style is more entertaining to watch. The NYC beer fridge has more IPA than I prefer but I guess that's life in paradise.

To see our open jobs and apply directly, follow this referral URL: http://grnh.se/xiy346

You can also email me at jchester+hn@pivotal.io to answer any questions.

Either of these helps me score one of our referral bonsues (did I mention our generous referral scheme?)

I may not be able to reply immediately, as I am just an engineer here.
> Russia's intelligence agency the FSB, successor to the KGB, has posted a notice on its website claiming that it now has the ability to collect crypto keys for Internet services that use encryption. This meets a two-week deadline given by Vladimir Putin to the FSB to develop such a capability. However, no details have been provided of how the FSB is able to do this.

This definitely sounds like one of those "Tell the boss it's done, and hope he doesn't ask for it too soon" type of situation.

“The three minutes to get to the silo is a built in security protocol,” Morris explains. “If we didn’t make it in three minutes, the crew underground assumes there is some sort of security situation topside.”

Reminds me of the two Russians who "saved the world" by being the one person to prevent an erroneous nuclear launch:

Yes, the trouble is that the work on performative acts (speech acts) only goes so deep, and then everything turns to confusion and ad hoc rationalizations presented like theories (I have a couple in mind). There'll be no means of implementing this body of knowledge in software -- or even taking it as a guide. So, if it were going to work out, you'd first have to solve the immensely challenging scientific problems, and then see about using the resulting knowledge to build something. As a person with some experience in the area (admittedly nothing published), I don't expect the former to occur. Ever.
Yeah its not like they are inventing or discovering new science to help humanity. Its just low brow entertainment plus a small benefit for almamacs if you spin it as record breaking.

Im sure coaching / private lessons pay a lot more. Fuck the prestige, its just ego boosting with vampire scum sucker execs really winning anyhow.

Seeking a position as a Linux systems engineer/administrator/SRE/devops/ninja
If you only download Free Software, like from F-Droid, you can be certain it won't have advertisements or other creepy features.

The Play Store is a wild west of crap though, so you have to be much more careful.
Apple win!
Not very funny for them, because their polling stats are extremely skewed politically, resulting in amnesty turning into a political football. If illegals voted perfectly 50:50 D:R they would have gotten amnesty decades ago and everything would have been reformed and sensible for generations, but its seen as an automatic source of "D" votes therefore as long as we have "D" and "R" they'll fight over it rather than fix it. A one line summary of why our immigration system is all screwed up, is most people who want to come here want to vote "D" and that riles up both the "D" and "R" parties therefore nothing can ever be fixed.
This is how you realize that the $68 billion value is suspect?

Arguably that makes him an even better choice for non-libertarians who are fed up with both of the major parties.

I desperately want to see a third option on the debate stage.
The only thing you're doing is redirecting blame to the athletes, which is the reason this article was written. Clearly athletes know they aren't getting into this to get rich, but I don't think it's unreasonable to provide some type of standard pay that is more than what a kid can make mowing lawns. Farm team players for baseball get paid six figures, and there are a zillion people below them that would play for half.

Sure, they are replaceable, but so are you and most everyone else on this planet. That type of attitude is why things like labor unions were created. To protect themselves from shortsighted remarks like that. Also I don't think there is a "gross labor oversupply" of Olympic level athletes in the world.

The "no one is forcing you to do anything" argument is completely tiring. You hear this for just about everything now, especially in the gaming industry, where companies are finding new ways to release half the product, for twice the price. People are allowed to complain, that's how things change. You don't just go around saying WELL THEN DON'T BUY IT. Maybe we WANT to buy it, but the circumstances are terrible, thus the complaints. But I suppose you've never complained about anything in your entire life. You just accept what you're given, because no one is forcing you to do it.
A Cloud to Cable TV Platform for Music, TV, and Video
I was mostly quoting for the last sentence, which seems to directly answer the GP's question. I agree that training facilities and such should certainly be included in that number. However, from a couple paragraphs down, it seems like the USOC interpretation might be a bit broader still:

> The reason there’s a large disparity between what the USOC says it spends on “areas that support athletes” and what the USOC actually pays athletes, Blackmun explained, is because the USOC includes the salaries of many of its employees who work with athletes or raise money for the organization in the larger figure.
Dude if you have a point to make, by all means do it, but don't half ass your comments with one word, because I have no idea what you mean by it's cheaper to block the ads than pay for it. Blocking is done by end users. Paying for ads is done by advertisers. They are different people.
To be fair though... It DID take a user on the scale of Uber to find and report and migrate away because of the problem.

Elevated Billing | Salt Lake City (South Jordan), UT | Full-Time | ONSITE

Hey there, this is Tim, I am the Engineering Lead for Elevated Billing.

Our core values are the key to our business success. “We relentlessly advocate for people in need of treatment”. Elevated Billing has been in business and profitable for nearly a decade. It was recently acquired and is working to advocate for even more people in need of treatment through expansion and strategic partnerships.

We’re building a number of new internal systems to improve the efficiency with which our employees and the facilities we serve can advocate for people in need to treatment. We are a small team of software engineers looking to grow! We are looking for two people to help round out our team. We’re looking for the following skills:

* Angular 2 experience (Angular 1 acceptable with some familiarity with the newer paradigms).
* Typescript experience
* Some experience with javascript build automation tools (we use Webpack)
* A good understanding of CSS and layouts (currently using bootstrap)
* A solid understanding of automated testing
* Some experience with a hybrid mobile app framework (Ionic, NativeScript)

Send me your resume, any questions you have about me, the company, or the position, and your salary requirements! I would love to chat with you. tim@elevatedbilling.com
Standard market doctrine requires perfect information. What's the impact of infomation asymmetry?

No, it doesn't.

This is like saying "physics doesn't work in 3D" or "physics doesn't work on non-spherical objects" because Physics 101 textbooks typically use 1-dimensional problems involving spheres to illustrate the concepts. Perfect information is just an assumption made to derive mathematically the simplest possible textbook model that illustrates the concept.
That's the system we already have for a few decades. And national IOC executives get about 20% of the athletes winning fees to support suppressing the various doping reports. Just look at the numbers.
It's not awkward, and it's totally your prerogative for telling a recruiter for that. If they say "well I won't work with you if you won't disclose that info", then I'd say "thanks for your time, good luck in your search." Nowadays there's always a dozen other recruiters who'd be willing to have a phone call with a developer who's actively looking. Obviously, YMMV.

As a rule, I don't tell third-parties (recruiters, etc) my current or former compensation. I ask what range the company is aiming for, and whether I'm interested or not. I think compensation is something to be discussed only between the candidate and the company.

Anecdotal story: I once was lowballed without my knowledge going into an interview set up by a third-party recruiter, contracted out by the company. They were very excited to get me in - turns out the recruiter gave the company a number that was 25% less my current salary. The company wouldn't be able to meet anywhere near my actual current salary, but the recruiter wanted to get a butt in the seat by any means.

From now on, I keep that info private until I choose to disclose it.

Yes I think that this election was just completely dominated by marketing/advertising. There seems to be no substance behind it at all. I don't think people really had the opportunity to hear about Bernie Sanders and other more worthy candidates.

As a foreigner not living in the US (but following the process nevertheless) I hardly even heard about Bernie Sanders until he lost the candidacy to Hillary Clinton - After that, I did a bit of research on him and he actually seemed like the perfect candidate to solve the US's current problems - If I could, I would definitely have voted for him.

Maybe it was different inside the US, but from outside, almost no one would even recognize the name "Bernie Sanders" because he just wasn't given any attention in the media.

If the media doesn't give you a balanced description of what your options are, how can you even vote?

This is downright corruption - Just as wrong as the kind that happens China, only a lot more sophisticated.
