1) SEEKING WORK, APPRENTICESHIP, or INTERNSHIP (paid) in Washington, DC

I’m relocating back to DC (my hometown) after ten years in Sweden, where my career focus shifted from venture capital and project finance to software development, with a focus on web-related technologies, such as Node.js, Express, and React, Redux, Relay, GraphQL, to name a few. I got a degree in software engineering and management in 2015 and have done self-study and course since then, but I’m still realistically junior/mid-level, depending. I’m willing to do what it takes to get in the door and earn a full-time job offer.

2) SEEKING FREELANCER for MENTORING in Washington, DC area (or remote)

For pair programming and to generally help me learn, grow, and increase my knowledge, experience, value, and marketability. Besides what’s mentioned above, my main interests relate to creating and improving loveable web apps (multi-page and SPA) and PWAs, functional and reactive programming, testing (pragmatically, not dogmatically), CI/CD, and cloud-based architectures (but no “cloud jail”) to name a few other topics of interest. Workflow and big-picture-wise, I’m interested in pairing, mobbing, code reviews, refactoring towards simple, clean, secure, performant code. Regarding visuals and usability: I’m into simple, clean, easy, efficient, fast, intuitive, and beautiful interfaces and experiences. My public GitHub repos are mostly unfinished student projects. I’d like your input as I decide which few to go back to and finish as presentable portfolio pieces. And then your mentoring and pairing as I finish and present them. Would also be great to have you mock interview me to expose and help narrow gaps so I can get great job offers. Whatever you like for as long (or short) as you like. No stress or commitment. Funds are tight right now, but I can pay you. Get in touch and we can discuss. Thanks, Chris
I cook with cast iron frequently, but I have been unable to find any recently-manufactured cast iron cookware that is actually worth buying. I think I last checked around 2006, so maybe the quality of available product has improved since then. I do know that "pre-seasoned" pans are just a complete waste of time, because you have to remove that spray-on crap before seasoning it properly.

So I pretty much just use the one Wagner pan, manufactured before 1996.

The nonstick PTFE coatings on my other cookware has always come off after a few years of use. I can't refresh the coating in my own kitchen, so the pan is basically useless after that. So I'll stick with the polymerized vegetable oil seasoning, even though the cast iron cookware is not as idiot-proof as more modern cookware construction. I like being able to keep something for 20 years, and not have to continually discard and replace crap that's not even 5 years old.

It would be nice if I could laser-sputter AlMgB14 + TiB2 onto a 12" round BAs wafer, and cook on that, but that's not likely to happen in my garage--or anywhere else with an oxygen atmosphere.
Here's a longer take on the concept of rejecting access journalism and getting the real story using other sources, including leaks: http://pressthink.org/2017/01/send-the-interns/
Thanks. I'm aware of this! I just used Xi a bunch and didn't want to keep typing Xi Jinping either so I used Jinping. Changed up the pronoun for readability and variety.

Is it culturally unacceptable to refer to Xi Jinping as Jinping?

Keeping names out of incident reports isn't about secrecy. There's nothing stopping the folks at Gitlab posting up a retrospective blog post. Incident reports are formal documents published to let users and customers know what's going on. The names can come later, if all parties are OK with it.
Gist:

- you can't measure programmer productivity

- instead of brainstorming ways to increase it or measure it. Focus on reducing friction, impediments to progress and measure fine grained tasks (like design, test, review, release etc.)

As indicated in the DNC email hack, CNN and the washington post and some other former journalist organizations are no longer operating as journalist organizations and are simply self funded partisan propaganda "fake news" sites focused solely on obeying the DNC to elect the most Democrats as possible. Naturally relations are abrasive between the leader of a party in power and the propaganda arm of a political party out of power, how could it be otherwise? Those orgs are no longer journalists by their own choice; I'm not seeing a problem.

I don't recall seeing many (any?) Reuters names in the DNC email hack. I don't recall an unusual amount of fake news coming from Reuters. I don't recall an unusual amount of friction between Trump and Reuters in general. AFAIK they are journalists operating as journalists doing the job of journalists and unless there are secret emails so far unreleased implying otherwise they should expect to continue acting as journalists.

I don't see the point in the news release. AFAIK at this time Reuters is in the real news business whereas the friction is entirely happening with fake news businesses some of which formerly were journalists but are now purely focused on propaganda. It would be as pointless as Ford issuing a press release commenting on the latest FireFox build, they're not even in the same industry....
Credit-Card Fraud Keeps Rising, Despite New Security Chips
I have been in position to hire about 20 people in my career and have asked this question. While I would accept your response and judge accordingly you seem to miss the point of why I would ask it.

It isn't to be told that you are a good value proposition. That is obvious. Just as it is obvious that the reason you want the job is to pay your bills.

The point of the question (like many of such generic questions) is to learn more about you than your skills.

You response would tell me that you are business-oriented. Tend to prefer to work with facts. Strive to be technically correct. Probably don't BS a lot and may have some issues working in teams that are sensitive to such types.

Of course I would integrate that with other indicators during the interview.

Be aware though, many of these soft questions aren't really about what they are asking.

Apparently, Square was first built out on Ruby with the mindset that the JVM is an old clunker.

Fast-forward a few years they switched to the JVM because it was faster and the language (I know, not related) provided compile-time safety.

> "Why are you protesting Trump doing X, but not Obama doing X?"

In general this question is: "You were wrong yesterday, why don't you keep on being wrong today?". The answer, of course is, "I'd rather stop being wrong as soon as possible. On this issue, I stopped being wrong today, and so today I'm trying to do better than yesterday."

Honestly, I care very little about people "protesting Trump". But I think it's great that people are protesting against misogyny, racism, militarism, fascism, anti-intellectualism etc.

Ok, so too few people were protesting extra-judicial drone strike assassinations under Obama. Lets not take that as a great reason to not protest them under Trump (or any further President). It certainly seems likely that Clinton would've had no scruples continuing to blow up Yemeni children in the name of "fighting terrorists". And hopefully that'd garner protests too.

Journey! Wonderful game.
I think Musk will keep them separate for now. This pure speculation, but I have the feeling that Tesla is a company Musk will feel comfortable relinquishing control over as it grows, while SpaceX is his baby.
Transparency maybe ok, but live stream is a theatre indeed.
Press will never be the same again. Over the past year and a half, most mainstream press outlets have shown themselves to be nothing more than a propaganda wing of the party their owners affiliate themselves with. This was particularly obvious on the democratic side, where they worked really hard to shove a pre-selected, cheating psychopath into the White House, and failed, much to the chagrin of their owners.

If there was any doubt about the lack of impartiality and fairness, we're way beyond it now. No matter what they "report" now, their reputation is gone and only completely gullible idiots trust any of it.

This reminds me very much of Soviet Pravda newspaper, where you'd first read the article, and then try to read between the lines and guess what really happened.
But it's true. Reuters is going to treat media reporting in the US like they treat reporting in countries heavy on censorship and hostile to the media. Let's see if that improves the reporting of facts.
No. Your sentence presents a false dichotomy. There is nothing inherent in software design that binds security fixes and new features. I get it, no amount of software updates will put a camera in a first generation ipad, but there is absolutely nothing about the hardware that prevents the correcting of buffer and stack overflows.
But if all you're doing is reading the feed on this app, then why do you need to require accounts or ToS?

StackOverflow doesn't require accounts to read posts (unlike some similar sites...).

Not just heavy but I really don't like all our processes named "java" with stupid -D cmd line parameters. A Nice native binary app will let you can name it what you want with config as you like it.
I don't find the parent comment sensationalist. The letter compares the current situation in the US to what Reuters has dealt with in Iran and other oppressive countries. It's hardly sensational to point that out explicitly.

Also, "very sensationalist" is not only redundant but itself sensationalist.
>Such a system would tentatively label a claim or story as true/false based on the stances taken by various news organizations on the topic, weighted by their credibility.

Oh right, because we can all agree on which news organizations are credible. /s
Engineering management reading list
So I hate to disappoint everyone. Such contract really cannot be viewed the way this was summarized through an email. One paragraph has to be interpreted in the context of everything else.

Moreover, everyone uses this language. It is funny, but I suspect that most of Silicon Valley just recycles the same 3-4 contracts, that individual lawyers just modify slightly.

I have now worked with 60+ tech companies (Looker, Gigster, Strava, etc) - with 15 of them I had to look over the verbiage on my own.

With a first couple, I was just as suspicious. But after discussing with lawyers, I learned that there are two major issues:

1) not everything put in the contract is enforceable. In fact, just because all lawyers recycle the same contract, does not make it more enforceable. It is a simple leverage in bullying that lawyers depend on, should something occur

2) individual paragraphs have to be interpreted in the context of the entire engagement. In other words, did you have have access to Client's data on other projects. Yes, then you bet, your IP rights should be waived as they pertain to those projects.

Bottom line, relax and focus on good faith.
>I'm a believer than an app always outdoes a "mobile-friendly" site.

I disagree. Downloading and installing a binary blob in order to then download some text is a worse UX for me.

>Also an app lets you require a user to sign a ToS once after installation without requiring accounts.

A cookie would solve this problem.

I suspect the real reason people keep pushing apps is they are much more monetizable rather than taking the user into account.

> Also an app lets you require a user to sign a ToS once after installation without requiring accounts. For a website it's not as seamless.

Huh? I don't think I've ever visited a purely informational website (like this one apparently is) that required me to sign a ToS just to view it. You just click the link, read whatever information you came for, and leave when you're done. That's far more "seamless" than having to install an app before you can do anything.

Neither "nuclear" nor "filter" appear in the text of that interview.

Here's the paragraph:

One thing we learned today: While Musk loves electric cars and spaceflight, there's one thing he hates: space solar power. "You'd have to convert photon to electron to photon back to electron. What's the conversion rate?" he says, getting riled up for the first time during his talk. "Stab that bloody thing in the heart!"

He's talking about space based solar power for terrestrial consumption. Solar cells actually generate more electricity without the atmosphere filtering the solar spectrum. But in LEO they can't stay aligned with a ground receiver. Beyond LEO they face enough charged particle radiation damage that standard silicon cells degrade too quickly, so you have to use more expensive cells. And all solar power satellite schemes rely on converting solar electricity to microwave energy in space and converting back to electricity on the ground; that's the lossy "photon to electron to photon back to electron" conversion that he (rightfully, IMO) gets riled up about.

As I see it, the solar power satellite concept could only sound plausible in the 1970s. That was back when both silicon and gallium arsenide solar cells were exotic and before the Space Shuttle had actually flown, so people could still use its ridiculously optimistic on-paper attributes to plan SPS construction. When it turned out that the Shuttle was not going to fly anywhere close to 50 times per year, and the costs per flight went up commensurately, that was a major setback. The falling cost of terrestrial PV modules based on crystalline silicon undermined another rationale for SPS. It made a lot more sense to think about exotic, expensive installation locations when the solar hardware itself was expensive regardless of location. The third setback, the falling cost of battery storage, is currently underway. A geosynchronous solar power satellite can deliver power even when it's night on Earth, but the relative value of that too is falling.
"CNN may be kinda dumb, but at least they have a bedrock of journalistic integrity."

You seem to have missed the email leaks. They cooperate exclusively behind the scenes with the Democratic party to ensure the defeat of Republicans. They have the journalistic integrity of cold war era "Pravda".
Did anyone get the good ending if that's even possible?
Mainstream media and their corporate backers have already lost this battle. This whole fake news attempt to remain relevant has backfired already, since it's much easier to prove that the peddlers of fake news are those who uncritically backed and still excuse the Iraq war, Libya catastrophe, attempted overthrow of the Syrian government just to name a few recent adventures.

They've been beaten at their own game by an opponent better at using modern/popular methods of disseminating information.

How is this different from console manufacturers not making their software backwards compatible?

If you want to preserve old iOS software that you bought, do a local iTunes backup and your apps are on your hard drive. For the forseable future, you will be able to buy used 32 bit iOS devices - just as people buy used consoles to play old games.

That's the worse case, best case is that Apple keeps allowing older devices to run older versions of purchased software.

I recently charged up my 1st gen iPad (last update 5 OS versions ago) and I was able to download older versions of apps - Hulu, Netflix, Crackle, Plex, Amazon Video, kindle, Spotify and Google Drive, -- from the App Store.

The iPad 1 is too old and too low on memory (256Mb) to run Safari without crashing constantly, but the apps I mentioned still run well as does the built in mail and calendar apps.

It works with Bluetooth and Spotify doesn't force you to listen in shuffle mode on tablets if you're not a subscriber.
