SEEKING WORK - remote / Berlin

I'm a front-leaning, full-stack developer that is living in Berlin. I am American, and I have some conversational ability in German.

I have experience with every aspect of creating an application, from mockups and UX design, to graphic design, to the full-stack implementation, to deployment.

I've successfully built and sold a past start-up of mine, and have a great deal of insight with product development. Because of this, I'm probably of most value the earlier a project is in its life cycle.

Backend stack: Ruby on Rails, with DBs/data stores such as MySQL, Postgres, Mongo, Redis, Elastic Search.

Frontend stack: I have experience with other frameworks, but at this point I strongly prefer to work with ES6 and React.js. I use current tooling (even with Rails projects) such as babbel and webpack. I am well-versed in current best practices, can build responsive mobile-friendly websites, and code pixel perfect CSS and HTML5.

I'm also a very capable graphic designer, which can be seen from viewing past and present work on my portfolio.

All good recommendations here, but I'd add a few more. .

I say take a look at Keystone CMS (http://keystonejs.com/) - it's a Node based CMS and is really easy to work with and has tons of options to customize as you need it.

My other recommendation would be to use Spike - (https://www.spike.cf/) (from the same guys who built Roots) along with rooftop CMS (https://www.rooftopcms.com/) or Contentful CMS (https://www.contentful.com/)

"Mandated choice sounds like a very useful mechanism, but I would fear that for many people being confronted with this choice when you are renewing your driver's licence means defaulting for the 'safe' option of non-donor."

But at that point, they have made a choice (as ill-informed as it may be) as opposed to one being made for them.

I'm an organ donor. I encourage others to do the same. That said, when a government makes choices about your body for you -- even if the choice seems "right" -- I find it a bit unsettling.

Freedom is measured best when the "wrong" option is chosen. It also illuminates those who just give such freedom lip service.

I don't think this is true. I have worked with people who don't know enough going down the stack of web programming (and been one of them). They couldn't fix bugs as easily as I could. I'm sure there are other consequences, probably design related, but the bug one is apparent to me because I help when I can.

I move around a lot because I'm remote and go to coworking spaces, the office, coffee shops, etc. I carry my laptop, headphones, iPad, various chargers/dongles. I have been using a cheap backpack and need to upgrade.

I'm thinking something pretty secure from things falling out, maybe several sleeves or pockets for various things, and weatherproof or at least resistant.

What do you use for this kind of situation?

I don't think that the solution can be as simple as:

> you should not post from HTTP to HTTPS anyway.

because if the attacker is MITM'ing your user, he can supply the user a HTTP page that you never created (unless you have HSTS enabled)

The obvious inquire: "why doesn't the attacker simply steals the login cookie?", can probably be simply explained if your service is setting the Secure flag in the Set-Cookie header (as it should)... this way, even if the victim is logged in, the attacker wouldn't be able to steal the cookie
Everyday things on the web the EU Commission wants to make illegal
Leuven, Belgium:

small, international city, everything in arm's reach, looks stupendous, young&sexy vibe, great college town rhythm, close to everything worthwhile in Europe, high-tech job market, top notch culture in Brussels (20min trainride, 4x an hour). Expensive for Belgian standards, but it's a blueprint for aspirational cities of the 21st century: human-scaled, wealthy, georgeous, diverse economy, and centrally located in the global village.

Philadelphia, PA:

best urban core in the US: compact downtown, wonderful residential areas surrounding it (old city, fairmount, society hill), great 19th century grandeur, close to everything worthwhile on Eastcoast, top notch culture. Primarily here because
it is affordable and allows you to live a luxurious city life on a normal income.

Lugano, Switzerland:

italian flair in Switzerland. No jobs, but you won't care in a place that looks like the riviera nestled in the Alps. Great for outdoors people, heavenly in all seasons.

I think this is a good idea. Some problems:

* I have limited character allocation to wax poetic, and my listing is for a company (Pivotal) with 19 established offices and more that aren't really publicised yet.

* The requirement for positions in given locations changes constantly. One month I went through our list and posted those locations. By the end of the month, it was out-of-date.

* Then there's the problem that I'm listing for multiple disciplines. Adding an ad for every single role seems like it would be detrimental.

* Last but not least: I can earn a referral bonus from the ads I post. I'm not sure how my ad being slurped into a different site helps me, given that I expect my link might not be very prominent. (edit: except you seem to reserve a spot for URLs, so let's drop this one and chalk it up to "Jacques speaks before he reads, episode 20 kajillion")

Still, I'd be interested in making it work better.
How to Download Netflix Videos for Offline Viewing
Does anyone know of a good alternative to the atlassian suite? Given their price structure and popularity, I'd expect them to fix stuff like this in a timely fashion, and fix some basic UI issues.

Bitbucket server (aka "stash") examples:

- Create a pull request (the most common workflow in bitbucket) takes far too many page loads, and is buried in "hamburger"/"more options"

- For teams with per-developer repos, it does not remember which repos the currently logged in user frequently uses, so you scroll through everone on the team's name for most operations. (And the new version "improved" this in some places with a JavaScript-heavy list that renders like molasses on no-gpu xeon vms).

- Each product (bitbucket, jira, confluence) uses a different markup language.

And so on. I could complain about other workflows or other products, but this is pretty typical for their stuff.
He's not saying corruption costs less, he's saying that US procurement rules compliance eliminates the competitiveness of contract bidding.

There's basically two different construction industries in the US: contractors that do private construction, and contractors that do public works construction. On the private side, you have thousands of companies ranging in size from some random guy who does drywall all the way up to pipeline and oil rig construction contractors. On the private side, all the small guys have been weeded out because of absurdly high regulatory compliance costs(which have been designed to eliminate corruption), and so it's just a handful of extremely large companies. And knowing they have no competition, their bids are obscenely overpriced.

Given, I'm not a Linux user, but I don't understand this at all.

On Windows, encrypted is encrypted-- the lock screen is exactly as secure as the login screen. Are you saying that in Linux the lock screen is easily-bypassed? So you have to keep your computer logged-out when you're in a place it might get stolen?
You have to at least tell us the cause.
I recently had this discussion on reddit, and I don't get this position. As long as it's as easy to opt out as it was to opt in, I see the two as equivalent.

I suppose it could be more problematic in situations where the 'in' isn't such an obvious good.
In case one is more location- than salary- driven, i.e. wants to live in a non-ugly European city with decent infrastructure and human living costs (not where fast-food pizza costs EUR 20) the salary EUR 40k (gross, annual) would be considered a really good deal. Some remote companies let the employee to choose the location but in this case they adjust the salary to local market... and yeah the fact of very high social contributions in some EU countries on failed social policies and with indistinct perspective of getting something out of it in the future is really soul-sucking.
Relying on the referrer header for CSRF protection is dubious at best. Just use a token like everybody else, protect against session fixation, call it a day.

Lying is a rather strong word, perhaps they thought that their relative was inclined to refuse donation. And default has no meaning here because they know that their answer decides the outcome; letting it fall to a “default” option decided by others seems to be rather irresponsible to the deceased relative.
The structure for describing patterns is the same.
That is basically the practical problem with an opt out system. Defaults are sufficiently powerful that lack of an opt out can't really (and really shouldn't) be taken as an affirmative choice.

I moved four months ago from a very crowded city to an small town in the province of Córdoba, Argentina called Mendiolaza. We have beautiful landscapes and it is near (25kms) the big city.

I am a software developer like you and I work from home for a company based on Seattle.

Anyway I am not here to convince you to move to this city in particular but please consider low populated areas with green spaces.

This move has changed the life of my two kids, they went from being all day in their rooms playing with ipad, videogames etc to play outside, riding bikes, climbing trees, etc. Each one have like 10 friends they see every day. I feel they have more self-confidence since they can go outside alone for hours.

It has affected me as well, everything seems to be faster in an small town. There isn't queues when you go buy something, the services are better. Example the car wash in this town will pick up my car, wash it and bring it home. If I ask for a pediatrician home visit, the doctor will be in my front door 30 minutes after I call, compared to 4 hours. There are less places for food than in the big city, but it is more handmade and better.

The people is friendlier and there is honesty and trust among the neighbors. First time I went to buy something I ran out of cash and they didn't have debit/credit, the owner say "no problem, pay me tomorrow" even if I insisted to cancel the operation.

It took me a while to found a good internet service, I tried 3. Right now I have a 20M connection.

Anyway I think it has been the best decision I made in 2016. I am very happy to live here.
Sure, I'd pay $5 to have a $4 cup of cup of coffee delivered to my desk. Or $5 for all the functionality of the $70 version of Sublime Text. To put it another way, I'd pay $5 to solve the problem of not having $10 or $11 etc.

On the other hand, anything for the office has to be worth $100's of dollars before it is worth pursuing. Other wise the productivity lost obtaining and installing it is less than the value.
Do you have to speak Mandarin to go about your daily life?
Great view. I dreamed about New York since I was a kid. I moved here 4 years ago (from Ukraine) and just recently started to realize how problematic this city is. There are millions of issues:

- Real estate. Of course, this is the root of all evil.
- Driving is a bitch. My wife once asked me to go walk in a Central Park with a kid. I was looking for a parking space for one and a half hours. Literally. I drove back home. Because of the real estate, parking garage prices are ridiculous.

- Restaurants. Overpacked with tables. Because of the real estate, owners pack their restaurants with as much tables as possible, so they could fit more people and be able to pay out rent/etc. Anniversary dinner? You'll have it with your wife, a gay couple and several business partners.

- Subway. Don't get me started here. People pee in the subway. Trains are delayed all the time.

- Medicine. I have a top-notch insurance. Every single doctor is scared of everything he/she is saying. It seems like all of them think that my next appointment is with a lawyer. Doctors are very "limited" in what they do. In my case, I compare with doctors from from my native country. They are more like engineers there, – never prescribe you anything, until the actual defect is determined.

- Emergency Rooms are terrible. Best hospitals of NY. My kid was at 104F+. We came in at 12:30AM. Doctor saw us at 4AM. Same thing was with my pregnant wife. We ended up leaving the ER at 5AM because their system was offline and they couldn't get us anything.

These are just a very few things. There are much more. I'm still looking for a place to raise my kids.

P.S. New York is amazing for doing business.

> I've long been under the impression that the government, and possibly influential corporations, probably have access to any certificates issued by the large CAs.

Everyone has that access. Click on the padlock icon on any HTTPS-using website, and after a few more clicks you can export a copy of the site's certificate (at least on Firefox).

But that gains you nothing without the corresponding private key. The private key is generated on the website's server, and is never sent to the certificate authority (what is sent is a "certificate request", which has basically the same information found on the certificate).

> are there ways for me to know when my own browsing is truly private between myself and only the party at the other end, and not other curious or intrusive uninvited third parties?

Now that's a different question. While having access to the certificates is no problem at all, being able to create a new certificate for an arbitrary website allows one to pretend to be that website. The only defense against it is that, if a CA is caught issuing these certificates, it risks being removed from the browser's trust lists, which is a death penalty for a CA's business. Also, there is a new initiative (Certificate Transparency) to make it easier for these certificates to be caught.
I moved to Denver about a year ago. It's all subjective of course, but I really struggle to understand the benefits of living in Boulder outside of a more vibrant tech scene and being a nice cozy town. The rent is ~$300-$400 more expensive. The trails are absolutely packed with people. There is beer pong and loud parties on every corner in the summer. Yes, it's a little closer to skiing resorts, but we're talking extra 20 minutes. Yet, whenever I talk to folks there they seem to enjoy it while I can't help but feel out of place surrounded by college kids everywhere.

Someone who actually lives in a place pumps money into the local economy in addition to paying property and local taxes.

Someone using a real estate as a bank account only pays real estate taxes.

Given the above and the fact that housing and land are extremely scarce commodities in a city, how exactly is someone using housing solely as a bank account a net gain for a resident tax payer?

This is of course just quantifying the financial aspect. What about the social aspect? What happens to the fabric of a neighborhood when development caters to people who don't actually live there?

How is that a net gain resident tax payer?

> This isn't new for new's sake, these improvements bring real benefits.

Half of the time. In the case of HTTPS, for sure. But it is becoming increasingly hard to tell apart real improvement and change-for-change. This is especially true in the customer electronics space, but also in the cloud industry.

I would argue that a major selling point for a lot of things today IS the fact that they are "new" not that they are "better". Just think of all the "smart" devices that use a server in the cloud to connect to your phone 1m away...
