SEEKING WORK - Remote (GMT+2)

Building software applications is as much about coding as it is about understanding and solving the actual business problems!

I'm a Zend & SensioLabs certified web developer / consultant with a focus on solving business problems and adding value through product optimisation. This can be done in many ways: creating a new application, suggesting an action plan or architecture, optimizing current set-up / architecture / applications, etc.

At the moment my technology focus is on PHP, Symfony, AWS, MongoDB, MySQL, APIs, JavaScript, Node.js, and Docker. I also care a lot about security (InfoSec), performance, quality, best practices & continuous learning. You can contact me for projects at http://ifdattic.com

Few of the problems I solved for my clients:

* optimize infrastructure to reduce costs by $10000+ per year
* custom applications for improving work flows (document
submission, sports coaching, inventory system, etc.)
* teaching students how to create web applications
* set up coding standards, testing practices,
development environment, fix security vulnerabilities,
document inner workings of an application
* implement CAS authentication for Single Sign On (SSO)
* implement direct file upload to AWS S3
* implement secure file download from AWS S3
* profile and optimize performance

Facebook staff reject female engineers’ code more often, former employee claims
it is vastly different and more difficult because of the way border agents are performing their job, not because of any change in law.
Neither is a good fit of describing colours in the real world, as they're dependent on the output device (in case of CMYK both the printer and the paper change the resulting colour). So a mapping of paints to CMYK or RGB would be rather meaningless.
Yes, and when the median number of labelings for a given article is near zero (as it will be for handmade artisanal articles), it's very easy to spam in a few five-stars. The crowd you want isn't the crowd you get.

So you have to filter or supplement the user ratings/labelings/reviews using either software or inhouse people, which runs into the second problem I mentioned.
No. Rather, they avoid places which employ procedures designed to get consistent output out of mediocre workers. Such processes naturally exchange flexibility for consistency of results, but lack of flexibility will cripple a 10x programmer.
I have actually decided not to manufacture and instead, open source everything (upon successful crowdfunding).

This way it works out cheaper, more flexible and generally better for the end user. It also avoids things like import taxes, shipping costs and manufacturing delays.

Instead, I have created 4 designs at a range of different prices, all based around easily available components.

I will distribute software, 3D print files, circuit board designs, build instructions, and tutorials so that anyone can build their own. It will be completely open source.

This means you can tweak it to your own needs, use already purchased components and make as many as you like. I think it works out better for everyone :D

It also saves me the trouble of coordinating all the manufacturing and allows me to focus on the bit I like and am good at - improving the product.

I like the look of Riffpod, neat little product. Got to say I've done something similar with iRigg but no doubt there is plenty to set it apart. Good luck!
Depends on the implementation, but I'm sure it's possible to do it safely. Chrome already has most of the necessary tools https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/multi-p....

Question is how much memory would actually be saved.

Yes, you are right, but a mere possibility of searching my phone and going through possibly humiliating experience makes me to avoid it at all.

I know, chances are small, and I'll likely avoid all of this stuff, but I hate such unfair communication, and therefore I don't even want to try it. For me it is important, and I wouldn't trade my confidence even for a small chance.

Really? Since they installed the new machines that you can use with ESTA, I haven't waited more than 10 minutes for the machine, plus another 5-15 min for the final check. No extensive questions anymore, maybe 1-2 in total.

Waiting times entering the UK (even with passport machines) can easily be as long.
The page states the following body counts: 95 Jihadist 51 Far Right Wing.

(bottom of the page)

So not quite 2x.

> Only in the past two years have there been more jihadist deaths.
> In reality the KKK has killed more people than all jihadists combined. That is one group.

I am not familiar with the history of the KKK, but are they still a threat?

If you consider the recent incidents: Paris (how many times!?), Stockholm, St. Petersburg and Nice, do you really believe Right Wing groups poses a greater threat?
no need to worry someone will go through your Facebook, Gmail and other accounts even if they wanted, they will force you to sign up for WeChat and buy Alibaba share on top of it
Fantastic use-case, never heard of that one before but a very interesting opportunity for automation :)
Interactive SF Zoning Map
I am currently working on a feature which will show the closest matching Pantone colors to the captured color (which is calculated in the LAB color space for high accuracy). Would that fit your use case?
Important things are a) which entity is going to pay b) where is added value created. In terms of business meeting both are mostly other seas. I had that info about meetings in my travel guide at least for 10 yeas.

The assumption is that your phone is PIN-protected, and you can contact your phone operator to get the old SIM blocked and a new SIM issued. This breaks down when it comes to prepaid though.
Migration Script to Move from JIRA to ZenHub/GitHub Issues
The kiosks made immigration a lot easier. Also for the work of the officers who can now focus on details instead of always asking the same standard questions. Have noticed that they seem to be in a better mood, I guess it improved their job and therefore their mood.
they don't cross border so it's no point check for them at borders, most likely these guys don't even have passport
New generation, direct confessions. Confess and relax
I agree with you. I'd actually like to know how many people really get send back at the border. There are occasional stories but the number can't be higher than 0.1% or so..
CRUDE OIL: Vulnerable Short Term
You know the illusion of open mindedness in a city - its more persistent yes. But they are not more open-minded there- they are just two-faced and can turn around on a needles pin.

Maybe you should read upon the Weimar republic- it seemed so open minded and avantgardist in the citys. But when the mood turned, the very avant-garde turned out to be the best turn-coats of them all, abandoning all they hold tear (except of there love for new tech) and leaving the other, the weak and the feeble hanging out to dry. If that situation would be mapped to valley today- the failing designer sitting in the office nearby- could be the next great chieftain, the marketing guy at the water cooler the next Goebbels. In a city, everyone is by default more separate and lonely, thus allowing for any -ism to grow rapidly once formed- into not only a disgusting ideology, but also a add-hoc family/community replacement, which is hysterically defended against any attempt to dissolve it with reason.
the article also misses a glaring fact: most vendors in Chinatown are skipping on taxes.

ever wonder why you dont pay sales tax when you pay with cash? (if they are even willing to accept anything else)
Mostly for speed but macros will do the job - it's just another example really :)
Yep. While you're still a student. Or with your personal account.

So, I would think in that case - in our sense :) - that the "C" would better be served by being called a "Coordinator" instead of "Controller".
Cool - you could do but it's not my decision to use WFM :(
I am using a database with Resene color names (and some names from the Wikipedia colors list) mapped to specific hex codes.
I find the closest hex code from the database to the one in your camera and show the name associated with it.

Hope that answers your question!
Sit at the smaller bar in a very high class London hotel (usually there are two - one intimate and one grand). Wear a good quality suit - no tie. Make sure you're impeccably clean (manicure), but not too tidy. Strike up casual conversation with absolutely anybody who seems up for it: so anyone who is alone and any couples whose conversation is flagging. Always be ready to suggest a glass of champagne. There's no need to lie but always imply you're a guest of the hotel.

Over time you'll get good at measuring people's potential. Rich people in these contexts are always bored. They're always looking for something to play with. Either shopping or investing - or a mix of both. It's intimately connected to their social relationship with the supplier.

It's a lot like being on the game.

Disclosure: I have never done this - however I grew up knowing someone who made their very good living in this way.
Have you used a PDF form where the order of the fields is wrong so Tab moves all over the place? I sure have. There is no silver bullet.
That's only half the test. The other half is to have them decide which is which.

The human taste is incredibly good at discerning two different flavors. Not so good at identifying them.
The alarming state of secure coding neglect
"Look at all the cheap fish in the super market. If it was really getting scarce, then there would be no fish there. "

But it sounds very logical, so why is this not true?
That's certainly true. But CMYK would be more useful because the commonly used CMYK spaces can represent a color gamut that's closer to the range of shades in the actual paints, whereas the commonly used RGB spaces are too limited. (A regular color printer can print a substantial range of colors that are aliased when represented in sRGB, i.e. you can't distinguish them on screen unless the preview is adjusted to compensate. This also happens the other way: many on-screen greens can't be printed without extra inks.)
Can't comment on schools, but a real liberal arts education is very useful. Learning how to write well, for example, is a key business and programming skill: https://codewithoutrules.com/2016/06/15/writing-book/
What's new in Mercurial (HG) 4.2?
from what i gather all the ridiculous security theater is because there's a non-zero chance of anyone being terrorist.

i find it absolutely reasonable to avoid traveling to a place when there's an even bigger chance of being treated like garbage.
Now i am realizing this. Once you accept that the only way to remain in the industry is to work after work you just get used to it, although it still sucks :) .
Please don't.

I already have a really hard time communicating reason to m$ people. They get these ridiculous ideas from the likes of you, and waste countless hours beating a dead horse.

There will be no servers to configure in the future. We will be spinning up containers in a swarm, and communicating with those services via de-centralized lambda function pools. Bulk of future devs will spring up in frontend. m$ lost its monopoly in backend to AWS and the likes. Do you think they started OSS because they are nice? They are desperate and throwing money at the problem.

> jQuery on the front or use Knockout JS if you want to do data-binding with MVVM

I'll say the same thing to someone who tried to make a case for PHP; you are doing a disservice to the clueless reader (likely a new grad). Kids, listen to me; don't ever say that in a job interview. You'll be politely rejected, and never hear from them again.

If you started to use jQuery after 2016, just keep that to yourself. It shouldn't matter that much, but it does. It signals you are comfortable with being mediocre.

> waste more time on JS than you need to

Again; just don't. Just because your past 10 years of acting "1337 programmer" through drag-n-drop some VC (nuget?) modules vanished doesn't mean future programmers need to go through that soul crushing m$ travesty.

What is the UNIX philosophy? What is m$ (still) trying to do? Do you think those guys don't know how to pick successful ventures? Think. You are up against a company here, not a friendly group of developers.

Not that you can really resist the change, mind you. I'm not asking you to stop peddling your inferior wares because I'm afraid you might stop progress. I'm suggesting it because you will be left holding the bag when m$ finally starts chopping bits off the MSDN network, and Oracle silently discontinues Java after v9.

Try to advance, not defend your crumbling castle.

Ask HN: Who are Etsy's biggest competitors?
Strawman. GP was saying 'don't buy overseas seeds because they are species that are not native to wherever you are importing them to'. Which doesn't make sense - whether a species out competes another doesn't depend on where it's from. Sure, when you introduce some species into certain ecosystems, those ecosystems will change. Nobody's saying you shouldn't think and/or manage. What I'm saying is that the whole 'exotic is bad' line of thinking ultimately boils down to the naturalistic fallacy.
This paper cites that one in its first paragraph:

"Until now, only two ways to shape glass in a 3D printing process have been demonstrated: a fused deposition moulding approach in which soda lime glass is heated to around 1,000 °C and a manual wire feeding approach in which a glass filament is melted using a laser beam [6,7,8]. In both cases, coarse structures with high surface roughness are obtained."

The paper you mention is reference number 6. This new paper apparently significantly improves upon resolution and quality. The press release is a bit confusingly worded, referring to "extremely small and complex structures" made of glass. Those haven't been 3D-printed before.

Theory of Mind
Haxe Summit 2017
They seem to get the racial/sexual/agist profiling right at Schiphol (Amsterdam). I'm a white male in my twenties, and consistently get the patdown. Half the time that includes my inner thighs and the side of some guy's hand touching my balls.

I've come to dislike flying for the humiliating and demeaning security theater I have to go through for it. No way I would risk going through that in the U.S., where it's presumably worse and where I'm not a citizen.

I can barely convince myself to go to family weddings if I have to pass through Schiphol for them. At least with Schiphol I don't have the risk of being detained (or marked a terrorist for having encrypted data/voicing anti-authoritarian opinions/having contact with Muslims, "no rights applicable"), and if I were anyway I could defend myself well as I'm a somewhat savvy citizen.

I already go through great lengths to fly via small German airports, where the security measurers aren't dehumanizing. Perhaps I'll visit the U.S. by boat sometime.
But from the company's perspective, all that matters is that it _can_ and _does_ happen.

I don't believe anyone is saying every single person coming into the US will get searched. We _know_ they are not. But searches _do_ happen and _are_ legal, and that alone justifies preparing for the eventuality.

My employer has always had rules about how to take care of data on your devices. They tell you to enable encryption and to never leave your company laptop alone and stuff like that. The vast majority of employees will never have their devices stolen, but the fact that some might is enough justification to make sure everyone does their best to protect their data. It's the same thing.

That you always had very easy experiences with immigration _is_ the anecdote here, because it does nothing to change the fact that _some_ people will get their devices searched (and data potentially copied) by Immigration agents.
That lying at the border is a serious offence is neither new nor US specific.
You've still not said anything about 'how boards work'.
There is actually a story behind the name. I am a colorblind designer and colorblindness is caused when you're missing some cone cells in your eyes.

Since this app helps me see all the colors, I decided to name it Cone!
The bookies will likely still have better data than you, so I doubt gambling using the data would be a good idea.

But e.g. using the data on the teams people have put together and marketing real bets on their real matches to those players and playing on it accordingly ("your player is playing a real match - show your support here", coupled with e.g. "in game" trophies if you win) might b an option.
Maybe we shouldn't unilaterally disarm ourselves in a world of co-equal, spying, sometimes despotic countries who would like to delegitimize American democracy (though we're already doing a great job of this ourselves.)

We have every right to audit the information flowing over our borders from foreign persons, just as we have every right to inspect shipments arriving in our ports. That's part of the concept of sovereignty.

This past election, our sovereignty was unambiguously, overtly threatened by a foreign power - and we will be suffering the consequences for this for years to come. But one of the tools we had to stop this - and one of the reasons we know anything about this at all - is foreign surveillance.

The stakes are very high, but many are inexplicably arguing that we should just stop foreign intelligence gathering if there's any chance at all a domestic person gets caught up on one end of the conversation.
> right up until CERN IT identified two of them as watching the original uploaded video

I've never really got over that blog post[1] a couple of years ago where they smugly described passing on identifying details for an individual that pirated simulation software so they could be slapped with an enormous fine. If this one is also true then CERN IT are beginning to sound awfully eager to go straight for reprisal at the personal level.

Composition (Interfaces) / Dependency injection / mocking.

Each one is invaluable on their own, but combined they make for very clean, maintainable, and easily testable software.

I find it hard to take any modern language that isn't capable of these seriously. For example, Rust (from talking to some Rust devs on /r/rust) does not have interfaces only "traits" and this prevents you from from being able to use DI thus limiting your ability to mock in the process.

And by dependency injection, I don't mean the XML bullshit that I see Java developers complaining about a lot.
IIRC it's only used for certain system services like Siri etc.
What did you mean?
Promises in Erlang
Living near a major airport gives them a lower chance of seat upgrades, though. Nobody in ATL ever gets Delta 360.
Trump voters of course didn't prevent him becoming president. They wanted him, so they voted for him. That doesn't count in my book. So with 55% turnout, that leaves 45% who didn't vote. Still a large portion.
Which is great, because now the developers can do their side jobs while their customers provide them with coffee.
Twilio should be offering Uber a price which is just below the minimum it would take for Uber to build it themselves.

Also, Uber management should be focused on other things which are much more important for the future of the company, like the user experience, or self-driving cars, or machine-learning algorithms to predict future traffic.

Uber should not be focused on pushing down costs because the opportunity cost of losing focus is huge. It reminds me of this epic rant from Bill Gates:

https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/kaiaxford/2008/06/27/why...

It's a funny story, but while Bill was focused details about a minor product he was missing the opportunity to develop a search engine like Google, or mobile devices like Apple.

Why should it be mentioned? FRP itself isn't an architecture. And as far as I know a lot of RxJava would easily fit into the "Observer pattern" (which is mentioned in the article)
The point is that child pornography (and also sexual abuse of children) is viewed as evil across all societies and groups.

Human trafficking, drugs and hitmen services, however, are not - the most notable exception being the various kinds of mafia or other organized crime.
BBQ, too. For instance, the Texas style of smoked BBQ is rooted in German immigration to central Texas.

Quit believeing everything on the internet. I'm sure those things happen but are so far off the norm.

I've been to Europe twice this past year and I don't think it's any different.

In Italy there was military everywhere in Rome and Florence. At every monument and Big site there were military with guns looking at everyone. Sometimes stopping people.

I've never been patted down and searched as bad as I was in Frankfurt. Security and questioning was on par with US customs.

Don't even get me started on Serbia.

> Would you like to add LDAP support, maybe in a modularized way to store rules

My thinking is to make it so that you just have a "dumb" daemon which has the concept of a process requesting the ability to connect to an IP/unix socket and sends requests over gRPC to clients that make access decisions. So there's no long-term storage of rules in the daemon (except possibly in some edge cases).

In any case I'm still writing a PoC so it's a bit early for features like that.
