SEEKING WORK - New York City/Brooklyn, NY - Remote Ok

Experienced full stack Ruby and Javascript developer with work history focused on startups. Some big company (e.g. NY Times, Cleversafe), small business and agency (ALLDAYEVERYDAY, Metarhythm) experience as well. Most of my experience is with Rails and/or Angular but I've also worked with node.js, Ember.js, Sinatra, Python/Django and D3.js. Not dev-ops per say but I have experience managing deployments with AWS, Digital Ocean, Rackspace and Heroku.

A lot of my projects have involved helping early stage startups get to an MVP or build out features from an MVP. I've also done cleanup on projects when another agency or developer was behind schedule and a project needed to ship ASAP. I'm open to any project that sounds interesting, let's talk.
Lots of client facing experience, great at communicating with the business side. As well as picking up the slack when design resources are short (mostly UX).

I looked at PC laptops recently for a linux project machine. You're going to be very disappointed in the build quality if you're coming from Apple. They are just-OK, and every little detail is worse.

Regarding well paid: That's just union (licensing agency) controlling the supply of pharmacists. Look at the airline industry: United Airlines pilots who started in the 1970s with powerful unions still make $300k a year. Newly hired pilots today make $25k now that the unions lost their stranglehold.

Inside the Sacrifice Zone
Any version of Windows after I think XP kind of does defragging automatically. At least to the point where the user is told it isn't necessary to do manually.
I just want to mention that this site uses a kind of informed brute-force attack on Enigma. If you're interested in the wide range of techniques used to break the Enigma code in Bletchley Park without the use of a programmable computer (the machine they used, The Bombe, was essentially a bank of enigma wheels, hooked up to wires which generated logic circuits as the wheels rotated) then read Hodges biography of Turing.

If you don't have that exact book to hand, you swine, then the wikipedia page looks comprehensive from a glance, if a bit inaccesible.

Running emacs practically counts as letting the machine idle these days. I know it used to be considered super bloated, but even fart apps use more resources now.
I use them the same way. I find git as a single developer to be also a much better fit for me. I work in three different locations on three different machines and a laptop. Git works for me, but I have taught some and the cloud IDE is great for teaching.
With GPS and Graph Paper, Farmers Find A-maze-ing Ways to Bring in Cash
My son just graduated and the same thing is true: he's pretty much abandoned it. He's also stopped using Füllhalter (fountain pens) for which joined-up letters make more sense.

I have tried various electronic techniques over the years and agree that I take much more useful notes by hand.
Don't forget Minecraft.
Is it sad that my second thought reading that was of weaponization. Depending on how you project this energy, you could put it somewhere very much unwanted. Or the opposite, remove it from somewhere very much needed.
That's a modern trend, due to the loudness-war arms race: brightness in that 2-5k area is perceived as loudness and clarity. Also it helps things pop through on the tiny speakers in laptops and mobile devices. Some speakers and headphones have their own bump in this region to increase perceived clarity and sparkle, so things can get very harsh and brittle very quickly.

"EDM" is particularly guilty of this.

EDIT: also this may be bothering you excessively if you're listening on a system lacking in sub bass: in electronic music, the crack of the snare is often set to balance the (often enormous) boom of the kick, so if you're not hearing the bottom of the kick the snare might stick out way too much.

South Koreans, Seeking New Zest for Life, Experience Their Own Funerals
These answers are ridiculously low.

In Northern Canada, flights are chained. This means that to go from Old Crow (YOC) to Whitehorse (YXY), you need to do:

1. Old Crow (YOC) -> Inuvik

2. Inuvik -> Dawson City

3. Dawson City -> Whitehorse

Even getting to NY from there adds another two stops:

4. Whitehorse -> Vancouver

5. Vancouver -> Newark

Supposing you wanted to go to the Galapagos, the shortest trip from Yellowknife happens to go through Newark/New York City (yes, you'd need to change airports):

6. New York City -> Guayaquil

7. Guayaquil -> San Cristóbal Island

But you could probably find better results if you looked to leave the western hemisphere and go somewhere like VOG (7 segments total), UTN (8 segments total), or TMR (8 segments total).
> For example, boot time is usually shorter when system folders are compressed

Reads, in general, will be "boosted" when the filesystem is compressed.

You get an (almost) free boost by reading and extracting compressed data on the fly into memory/cpu. ie. read 4mb's off the disk but it expands to 8mb's (or more!) in memory, so read performance is elevated.

Writing of course, is slowed.

For some server loads, disk compression still makes a lot of sense - making the claim "We live in a post-file-system-compression world" a little dubious.

>Some particularly avant garde types in that field have posited that the universe rather than having two constituents -- matter and energy -- has three primary first-order constituents. The third is information. Information is not merely an epiphenomena of matter and energy but a primary "thing."

Is that really so avant-garde? It seems a bit weird to claim that thermodynamics and the arrow of time are epiphenomena when we can measure the relevant quantities experimentally. The more avant-garde thing seems to be the kinds of papers where they claim space-time or gravity are somehow emergent from entropy/information.

>If that is the case then there should be an E=mc^2 type equation that relates matter to information and energy to information and all three should be interconvertible.

Uhh, why? Even the more exotic physics-of-information work seems to end up equating entropy with space-time or something like that: mass-energy would bend space-time-entropy, but wouldn't be convertible into it.

Admittedly, this is all way above my head.

Haha, I was originally going to comment about how you can always find a topper online. But in my case I get the story (no one was physically harmed, at least, and the police got there quickly). I'll take that over op's 81 hours of airline travel.
so not much has truly changed, this is a simple limited time reprieve. based on wording can you give permission for another party to work on hardware you have? As in, can a manufacturer still declare that an end user cannot grant access to another under the idea that the other party does not own the device and as such is not legally allowed to work on it?
There are documented issues with many existing electronic voting systems. E-voting encompasses a lot of different types of system that can involve computers in the chain, and not surprisingly all of them are equal.

There have been a few discussions around voting on HN recently, and that's good. It's an important topic, as trust in the integrity of elections is vital for democracy. There's a lot of existing material out there about verifiable and auditable voting systems, especially in the wake of the 2000 US Presidential elections. I encourage you to take a look at what's out there. It can provide a great foundation for discussion.

Here are some links I've found useful:

> Has anybody working towards serverless version of wp?

I'm curious on what a "serverless version of wordpress" consists of, please enlighten us on the technical details of a serverless wordpress, sincerely. And how would you have a "serverless shopping card" too ? I'm really curious about the how it. If you're talking about a static blog generator then it already exists (Hugo,...) is this what you call serverless ?
