iZettle | Swift developer | Stockholm, Sweden| Full time |ONSITE

Our groundbreaking iOS app has truly made an impression on the mobile payments market.

We released the first version back in 2011 and the rest is, as you know, history.

With that being said, we are never satisfied. When our user base grows, the demands on our app increases. We're dedicated to delivering stable software that our users can trust and love to use. There is always new features to be developed, new technologies to be used, new architecture to be tested and new problems to be solved.
We're constantly revisiting previous solutions; turning them into small, reusable, testable and maintainable components. Furthermore introduction of Swift has opened up for new solutions and ways of thinking.

We are a small, well oiled team that live and breathe Apple. As part of that team, you will have the opportunity to influence every aspect of our app; from UI animations down to peripheral hardware integrations.
You will discuss technical solutions with the team, and together we'll build amazing software that we can be proud of. We are keen to share our knowledge and to learn new things. We’re always on the lookout for new technologies, methods and different ways to solve new problems.

If you want to join us, you’re probably a proven asset within iOS development. We’re looking for developers who we can learn from and help us take our app to the next level.

Take a look at our latest release, you find our app here:

sure most moral dilemma of this kind should be resolved by 'install longer range sensor', but other people mistakes are gonna be an important factor in these scenario until all cars are driverless.
Except now we have to target 3 different mobile platforms, the web, and possibly 3 different native desktop environments.

Where is the progress in that?
Every so often this ends up with "everyone's equally as rich, but some are more equally rich than others".
Great stuff. This is maybe exactly what I was looking for. The problem I have is when I have 20 queries in a given bounding box in LA, I have 20 queries towards the DB. Maybe it helps me reduce this to 1 with the rest being in memory.

Quake and its mods (Team Fortress!) were pure magic for me as a young kid. I can't imagine how many hours I spent in that game. The multiplayer community was a big draw, and services like Mplayer that had voice-enabled chat rooms were also amazing at the time. Lots of Quake LAN parties. It was a total game changer.

I still love the atmosphere and total weirdness of the game.
3 tools to increase your Java productivity
> Lisp, Forth and friends do perfectly well without having to consult precedence tables

It helps that they have "alien" syntaxes (prefix or postfix but not infix). Smalltalk is also a language which did away with precedence almost entirely: it has a strict right-to-left evaluation model, and only three precedence levels[0]: unary messages (aSubject aMessage), binary messages (aValue <operator> anOtherValue) and keyword messages (aSubject aMessage: aValue) but because it has "infix operators" the effect is much weirder.

[0] or possibly a fourth, the cascading `;` operator is not a message, and can become really, really weird when used with different message types e.g.

7 + 4 squared; factorial; yourself.

binds like this:

7 (+ (4 squared)); factorial; yourself.

so it computes 4 squared, adds it to 7, then computes the factorial of 7 and finally returns 7.

> I'm not sure if reading about our previous stack and why we moved is an interesting blog post or not.

It definitely is. There is a serious business cost to front end trendiness, so it's good to hear the legitimate business cases for these switches vs. "it's what the devs want to code on."
i think this is in part driven by the fact that javascript is not the best tool for the job on the client side, so people fall back on a variety of compile-to-js languages. but then, once you're doing that, why not use a language you already feel is good enough to be your choice of server-side languages?

the leap to "okay, now that we're using the same language for both parts of our app, why not make a framework that lets you mix server and client side code in the same codebase" is more a taking that idea to its conclusion than the primary motivation for it.
It kinda depends on what kind of strength. For things where the athlete is rather lightweight/small and does some kind of fast/twitchy power moves you peak out somewhere before 30. But when all you need is pure strenght you have 30 to 40 year old world champions in many sports (you still have to start training when a lot younger to make it though) for example in power lifting where you have a lot of todays world champions born in the late 70s/early 80s.

One of the advantages (and disadvantages) of sending 18-20 year olds into battlefield is that if they die society spent less money/effort into teaching them some other valuable skill that would have been lost without getting the benefit out of it (due to the person being dead)
Oh, there was even a term for that: "еггоглогия" - errorology, or, transcribed from Cyrillic - eggogology (because latin 'r' looks like Cyrillic 'г', pronounced as 'g' in 'go') - basically, the study of undocumented features of programmable calculators. It got popularized in a series of articles in Technology for the Youth magazine in late 80s. They used funny terms for various classes of outside-of-normal-range numbers - like, supernumbers, shapeshifters, darkness, monsters, etc. Those undocumented features were pretty handy for game programming.

so, the question set is quite bad at singling out factors.

by always choosing not to kill the passenger, I got strong male preference and extreme older preference, even if I never selected answers with that in mind.

Weissmaler | Berlin, Germany | ONSITE | Full time

Looking for a Lead Developer (JavaScript) who wants to paint it black!

WEISSMALER is Germany’s first tech-driven painting company. Our ambition is to build
the largest and best painting company in Germany, using technological innovation to manage
our painters better and more efficiently than traditional painting companies.

We are looking for an experienced developer who likes the challenge of building up a tech stack from
scratch (well, almost). We’re talking about customer-facing applications that allow for accurate pricing and
generating quotes, as well as tools to manage painters, automatically order materials, and communicate
effectively with painters and customers. So far we only did the groundwork for some of these tools, so there
is a lot of freedom to build and design. Our current stack is based on NodeJS, Express, RethinkDB, React and Redux.

In addition to building software, we are also looking for someone who can build teams. You will be the first
employed developer in our team, and we want you to bring your most talented friends. We will immediately
look for one junior developer to complement your skillset and build up a larger team in the next months.

WHAT DO WE OFFER?

As our lead developer, you will have the freedom to shape the technological direction of our company. It will
be up to you to choose what we will develop, how we do it, and what our tech team will look like. The
choices you make will have a major impact on our business, team and success. We offer €40-60k salary plus equity (up to 3%).
An awesome team of young and ambitious people to work with and a great office in Neukölln.

I disagree. With webpack you declare all dependencies are resolved and declared with code, instead of a separate manifest. It's a big improvement over gulp and grunt.

I don't know why people compare gulp and grunt with webpack, they solve different problems.
I'm a little surprised that in the article, and in the comments here, there's such a presumption of guilt on the part of the police.

I understand that this is a controversial topic in the US, probably moreso than elsewhere, and for very important reasons, but is it really impartial for the study, the article, or the comments here to draw the conclusion that police were "better behaved" because they were being filmed?

Maybe the public were better behaved when they being filmed.

Maybe the police were, in some cases, behaving as they normally do but the public were less inclined to raise complaints that may have been spurious as they knew there was evidence of the actual exchange.

I don't doubt that behaviour of individual officers is a factor and was likely affected in a positive way here, but I'm deeply skeptical that a 93% drop in complaints is solely down to bad police officers playing nice for the cameras.

The presumption of innocence needs to be a two-way street, surely?
Electrode is just the front end platform. We also have OneOps for our app server lifecycle management. Test Armada for automation.

I don't know of anything lower in the stack that was open sourced than what I mentioned.

The stuff we didn't put into the Electrode platform that is integrated internally, off the top of my head:

1. Integrations to our global config manager, that allows us to turn flags on/off in real time.

2. Integrations to our A/B Testing Tools

3. Integrations to our content management

4. Logging/Analytics/Metrics Integrations

5. Our CSS styles and Icons

As you can see, almost everything is open sourced :)
> Call your cell phone provider and set up a PIN or password, ask for a port freeze and ask to lock your account to your current SIM.

Seriously — do this. I’ve twice had the experience of walking into the retail store of a major UK network, supplying my mobile number, name, date of birth and postcode, and walking out with a replacement SIM card activated for my current number. In both cases I subsequently complained loudly to the network management and received apologies and assurances that the retail staff were not following protocol, training procedures would be reviewed etc.
Exactly this. Imagine you want to buy a car. You go to car dealer where they offer car that saves pedestrians 50% time and saves driver 50% time. Across the street different car dealer sells similar car except that it saves driver 100% time.

First dealer would run out of business very soon. Only safe car dealers would remain.
Too true :)
Fun little memory, as a kid I've been "hacking" on an Elektronika calculator as well, if you can call it that. On an Elektronika MK-18M I accidentally found that one of the scientific functions takes a noticeable amount of time to compute. The calculator would freeze for good 100ms until the answer comes back. And the interesting thing was, the processing time depended on the value I used for the function. By using what I now know is called bisection method, I found a value that choked up the calculator for good 3 seconds. This is not a hack of course but I felt like I had found a small clue about how the function is implemented in the calculator.
To clarify for anyone who might be confused like saosebastiao about what I'm saying: the consensus saosebastiao is claiming exists is exactly what you would expect from economists who are trying to make money for themselves.

It's additionally worth noting that a) there is not a consensus, and b) consensus is not part of the scientific method.
> and what was delivered is so large that it's being investigated in the UK[2].

Anyone can make a complaint with ASA, and they investigate any complaint for which they're the regulator.

They also do not uphold plenty of complaints.

To get a feel for what an ASA ruling is like people can read the archive of rulings here: https://www.asa.org.uk/Rulings/Adjudications.aspx

I think this recent ruling about a city council's campaign to stop people giving money to beggars shows there's some nuance to the rulings: https://www.asa.org.uk/Rulings/Adjudications/2016/9/Nottingh...

tl;dr An ASA investigation means nothing other than someone complained.

>Launching a startup in 2016 is akin to assembling an alt-rock band in 1996 or protesting the Vietnam War in 1971—an act of youthful rebellion gone conformist.

This right here amounts to false equivalence. Suffice it to say that it is relatively easier to launch a start-up today, this doesn't change the fact that it is just as hard to keep one alive. The risks associated with launching a startup are all too real and I think they will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. Call it conformist, I call it hard and as such, not for everyone.
Sometimes it takes a lot of time to reach something that is relatively trivial once you know how to do it.

Yeah, I was hoping to see some very cool Clojure code.
That is absolutely terrifying to read!

The striking thing about the footage is, again, the utter mundanity of the raid.
A family was just violently raided over an unmeasurable amount of pot. A man was
arrested over that pot. The money he needed for his business was taken from him.
Yet there’s no shame or embarrassment from the officers. There’s no panic that
the whole thing was captured on video. That’s when it hits you. They don’t think
they’ve made a mistake. This is what they do. The lead officers later tells the
camera, matter-of-factly, that the raid turned up “a personal use amount of
marijuana.” Perhaps realizing that he was also on camera back at the police
station promising a much larger stash of drugs, he adds, “It happens. Drug
warrants are, you know, 50-50.”

If they raid a home on the pretense that he has a large stash and is selling, fine. But when it turns out to not be true, they better pay for damage - no matter what else they find.

How to negociate (with a big corp) to be allowed to keep a side-project?
I have a sizeable project I have been working on and off for the last 2 years. It might be commercially viable but it won't make a lot of money.

A few weeks ago, a big corp approached me with an interesting job offer but AFAIK, they are not very tolerant for side-projects. I am wondering how to negociate with them on this.

A few things:
- My side project has no connection at all with the corp's market.
- the position is in R&D, but the tech has nothing to do with my project.
- I have no problem stopping my other consulting activities.

the women in this article we are commenting on (both the mentors and the students) have agency, and this is clearly conveyed by the article.

in many societies - traditional and modern - we observe structural discrimination against women. so "outcomes" for women are more heavily constrained by society than "outcomes" for men. if i look up the definition of "objectification" i find one aspect of it as "denial of autonomy – treating the person as lacking in autonomy or self-determination". so it might be a stretch to say that society objectifies women according to this definition, but i'd certainly agree that society tends to restrict/limit the autonomy / self-determination of women more than it does men.

under that interpretation i roughly agree with your statement of "that dualism is objectifying of women", in the sense of that being a crudely accurate description of the reality of what society does, and i'd go further and claim that is not acceptable, and something we should endeavour to change, by changing society: "affirmative action", "positive discrimination", etc.

was this the point you were trying to make, or were you trying to argue the opposite conclusion?

edit: would it make any difference if it were women who were driving the changes to society that would benefit them and other women? would that be acceptable or would that be a case of women objectifying themselves and denying their own agency by taking action?
I know the irony of introducing a new tool in the comments of this particular blogpost, but a while back I decided to completely ditch javascript and go the clojurescript route. I've been super happy ever since.

The syntax is stable, clojure is extremly well designed, the ecosystem a lot clearer and tools - well you have lein as the main one and that's about it. On top of clojure, you get google closure for free and can optimize the hell out of it with advanced mode compilation out of the box.

And that's the 'vanilla' experience! No separate library required! You can still interface with normal js and npm modules of course but you find yourself using npm install a lot less.

All major tools have cljs wrappers that are just a joy to use (looking at reagent (react), re-frame (redux), om (react+graphql)

Ask HN: What langauges to learn if I wanted to build a site like nomadlist.com
I subscribe to the sentiment that a good way to learn development is by taking on a project. I have a few projects in mind for online directories similar to nomadlist.com.

So far I've been building them in Wordpress and hiring freelancers to do the bits that the plugin does not allow natively. But I cant seem to get the right kind of filters and cutomisation that I would like and have contemplated what it would take to learn to build it myself.

If my desired outcome was a directory site such as nomadlist.com with lots of filters, good performance, and a CMS, and assuming I was willing to take on a few months worth of learning, what would be a good learning path?

One option I suppose is to learn PHP and Wordpress so that I can take on the customisation of my wordpress site.

But I would prefer to give myself options outside of Worpdress and to learn to build a site from scratch.. Would love to hear some thoughts from the dev community.

The wordpress option is probably more realistic given my timeline, but I do know CSS and HTML already so maybe it is possible to learn something more advance? You tell me

Note: I could have asked what languages were used to build nomadlist, but I purposefully phrased the question differently because I presume that the languages he chose might night be the best/recommended languages for a newbee trying to reach the same outcome.
> they are not very tolerant for side-projects.

So... they have control over your _personal_ life/time? And you agree with this? Hopefully they pay you a LOT of money...

If your project doesn't compete with E-corp in any way, probably is not even worth mentioning it?
> The presumption of innocence needs to be a two-way street, surely?

No, the police should be held to a higher standard. They are not citizens when they are out on patrol, they are representatives of the government.

IMHO police officers should be presumed guilty until proven innocent.
