>More broadly, this is the whole opinionated vs. non-opinionated debate, and I've come to the belief that the vast majority of programmers need the guidance that an opinionated framework gives.

The vast majority of programmers need opinionated because they want to string together 15 or 20 different plugins to do ordinary things like CMS, rate limiting, caching, facebook/github authentication, csv export from the admin, drag and drop within admin, and hundreds of other things where you don't want to reinvent the wheel.

With Django there is a larger ecosystem and those modules tend to play better together, and they are pretty much equally loosely coupled. With Flask you get a few modules that use SQLAlchemy, some that use peewee and others like Quokka (flask CMS) that just decided to use mongo for the hell of it. That's the dark side of not being opinionated.

The "batteries included" argument is a red herring, IMO. It doesn't really matter that Django includes admin in the 'django' package and flask separates it out into 'flask-admin'. You don't have to use either if you don't want and being in a different package is orthogonal to coupling.

The magic argument is also sometimes a bit of a red herring too. SQLAlchemy, django ORM, django admin and flask admin all use tons of magic but everybody loves them. Magic is horrible in the wrong place but incredibly powerful in the right place. Rails gave it a bad rep because it used magic too much in the wrong places.

Sysadmin/DevOps

I do managed services/infrastructure design for companies too small to warrant a full-time sysadmin or companies that have projects too risky for larger managed services teams to address confidently.

My background is in Linux of all flavors supporting ecommerce (Magento,PCI DSS) and Wordpress (PHP,Apache,NGINX) running on MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis. Tons of other tech so please see my resume or send me an email if you have specific tech questions.

My rate is $150 per hour but the rate decreases if billing on a project or retainer basis. I'm working on my own infrastructure projects part-time so available for projects of most sizes.

Because all mature exchanges have price limits. Even when stock is traded on multiple exchanges.

Sometimes these limits are 1/2x and 2x of average/opening/auction price, sometimes are very tight. Some exchanges stop trading given security for the day, others are recalculating these limits in almost real time and stop for a couple of minutes max.

All these safeguards are there for a reason. And some site positioning themselves as “exchange” and not reversing/pausing (or at least ivestigating) tells only about their maturity.

A "constant murmur" isn't testimony. Testimony includes specifics like the people involved, the time and place of the incident, and what precisely happened. A murmur doesn't need any of that. Not the least, because no one goes on the record for a murmur.

Swarms Tech | REMOTE within Europe | Full-time remote frontend developer

We're building a machine-learning-augmented crowdsourcing platform to help researchers and companies label large datasets.

After one year of bootstrapping, we've raised substantial funding and are looking for a passionate frontend web developer in a remote position. You should love to build beautiful UIs and participate in the design of our restful APIs. The technology is your choice - ReactJS, Vue, AngularJS, ... you name it!

You'll get a lot of freedom (work in your pyjamas!). Our HQ is in Bielefeld, Germany, but we get together monthly for 5-day hackatrips in various European cities (we're just visiting Gdańsk!).

Contact Jannes, our CTO, at jannes.stubbemann@swarms.tech!

Lob | YC S13, YC Continuity | Senior Software Engineer | Full Time, ONSITE | San Francisco, CA

Our first API was to programmatically send physical mail. Our second, announced last month (https://venturebeat.com/2017/05/31/ycs-continuity-fund-leads...), is CASS-certified address verification. Our long-term goal is to provide the building blocks for developers to automate the offline world through APIs.

I'm the head of engineering at Lob. In between my last job and this one, I spoke to 42 organizations before I found what I was looking for in Lob: an exceptional team at the beginning of its growth phase, and also a company with a track record of being deliberate about its culture and which is intentionally building a good place to work.

We are a small and mighty engineering team with a ton of product and infrastructure problems to solve as we keep pace with rapid growth. So, we're currently looking for experienced software engineers who can take ownership of entire projects. We hate contrived interviews, so our process rewards practical problem solving (based on real problems we've faced) and excellent communication.

Apply at https://lob.com/careers or drop me a line at raph@lob.com if this intrigues you!

Importing because of a recent mass wipeout is different than using descendants of previous imports.
Given knowledge of the matching engine (lack of circuit breakers, automatic margin calls), the number of bids in the limit order book, and the amount of margin being employed this could have been executed as a purely mechanical arbitrage.

Of course in a regulated market that would be blatantly illegal.

I hope you are being sarcastic :) Even though pop songs aren't that imaginative, exponential growth means causes problems. We can't count all ways of ordering 52 cards using all the computers in the world in the history of the universe, and I bet one could come up with an algorithm for creating pop songs, one per ordering of a deck of cards.
I'm a bit out of my depth here, but I think you can generalize it to differential fields, where you want to figure out e.g. which functions have a closed-form integral. A reference (the only reference?) would be Topological Galois theory: https://www.springer.com/us/book/9783642388705
> So having used both, this is what I tend to say about them: some of Flask's commonly-used components are better than django's (SQLAlchemy notably), but altogether, django is a better framework.

Most Flask dev however, are unable to leverage the full power of SQLalchemy. They do miss the nice integration of the Django ORM, espacially the form generation, admin and fantastic app ecosystem that assumes you have a User object.

> Making a sane and maintainable project layout is not a particularly easy thing to do

+1000 on this. I noticed this as a dev AND a trainer. In the end, flask is great if you are either very beginer and want to do simple things, or very experienced. For all the rest, you want Django.

But the price to pay to enter the Django world is higher.

> It shouldn't be a shock to you by this point if I say that I don't think flask is particularly well designed either, but I won't go into my interface-by-interface rant now...

Well, the global objects such as request is one of my pet peeve... And the decision of a central "app" object make modularity kinda difficult, and blueprint feel like afterthoughts.

But flask also almost invented the whole @route API, which is really awesome.
If Vocaloid sounded a little more realistic, humans could be completely removed from the process.
I'm in my early 30s, so frequently called an older programmer and I've heard a lot of, "we don't have time".

What I've been waking up to is that projects that estimate realistic budgets and time scales don't get funded. Everyone underbids knowing that the company/customer will continue to fund and extend deadlines for project after sinking so much effort into a buggy prototype, until the realistic estimate is reached and the product actually reflects all the "hidden"/"discovered" requirements (i.e. foreseen but not in the bid) including security, integration and test efforts.

What's weird is that everyone, customers included, seems to be in on this.
I'd love to learn Rust by opportunistically implementing parts of the systemd API.

The standard meaning of likelihood is P(data|Hypothesis)[1] where, for the purposes here, hypothesis will refer to "chance/accident generated the data". Do you agree with this? (I understand you say "kind of likelihood" because we are dealing with the inequality)

If so, can you clarify what you mean by "P is ... Likelihood of type 1 error (accidentally getting a result)..." ?

Django/Python back-end engineer with founder/CTO experience, server administration too, and some front-end. I'm not only technical, and rather unique. I'm interested in the social aspects of technology and also in human language learning. I have studied dozens of human languages (e.g. id, eu, eo, sq, ru, …), so I'm a good match for educational or linguistic projects, even if they don't involve programming. Working with data, modeling, analyzing, teaching, etc. also are in my passion. Finally, I want a more respectful world, with technology companies respecting users, not restricting them. I'd like to work enhancing user rights (e.g. the 4 in GPL, etc.) or at least neutrally, not against them. Let me know if you're in an interesting project, company or working style where we could work together.
I'm an American (male) and I find it crazy as well.

Figma is awesome. Joining them would be a great idea.
And they dropped so low because the giant sell order was executed at market value instead of a limit order... causing the holder in question to also lose gobs and gobs of potential profit himself. All signs point to one inexperienced person who bought in at the initial ethereum offering of ~35 cents a coin, and found themselves holding 10 million worth of ETH.

Not knowing how an exchange works, they put the order in for sell 33300 ETH at market price to cash in their earnings and ride off into the sunset. The buy book wasn't thick enough to absorb that much sell side @ market, so the market sells and margin calls ate the entire buy down to the very bottom huge buy @ $0.10 each.

So did the value drop that low? Not really. Just due to a very immature and primitive market on one particular exchange, did this happen. When you compare these Crypto-exchanges to modern stock or forex exchanges, you'll see that they are just vastly less sophisticated.
I like the Easter egg in the console ;)

BBC iPlayer | Development Lead | London, UK | Onsite | Full Time

http://careerssearch.bbc.co.uk/jobs/job/Development-Lead-iPl...

The job description is pretty much on point - we're a small team of 4 engineers (one of whom is me). We build the API for iPlayer (the video one, not the radio one), which is used by the Mobile Apps, TV Apps, Website and syndication partners such as Sky & Virgin - last week we counted 1 billion requests.
We're also looking after the Apple TV app (TVML), some open source programs and a number of internal tools for our editorial staff.

At the moment we're extending our personalisation capabilities with some audience research and exciting ML projects and would love someone to help us build the best VoD & live content platform to come out of the UK.
