I think "no one really knows what they are doing" is repeated too often and has more or less become meaningless. After are, there are people out there who know what they're doing.

A better way to phrase it is "no one really has all the answers" or "everyone is making their way".
Very inspiring. Coming across a "geerlingguy" ansible repo in my searches for pre-existing ansible roles is always a treat as I know it will be solid quality.
I would love to and have looked briefly for opportunities. I'd like to do video/screensharing mentoring for Rails pro bono. If anyone has suggestions, I'm interested.
While drones are indeed still susceptible to a multitude of bad weather scenarios in the air, they do bypass several major scenarios on the ground that frequently interrupt supply lines like flooding, fires, avalanches, etc.

Exploring new technologies that could be beneficial (or harmful) to the company shouldn't be a side project. Perhaps we can shift the thinking from "this person doesn't have time for side projects" to "how can we make exploring new technologies a part of the job?"
Does anyone have great examples of localization done right? I'm trying to build an internationalized web application right now and I am interested in best practices.

Edited: I mean web applications that work well for international users (e.g., ltr and rtl direction, taking countries and languages into account, etc.).

StackShare | Full-time | REMOTE OK (U.S. only)

https://stackshare.io/stackshare/stackshare

We’re on a mission to create the best place for engineers to figure out how to piece together their tech stack. Our vision is to transform the way that all SaaS tools and infrastructure are bought and sold.

We recently announced our seed round (https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/19/why-stackshare-is-quietly-...), and also launched a new product called Stack News: https://stackshare.io/news/hacker_news.

Open roles:

- Front-End Engineer (React + Rails) - https://angel.co/stackshare/jobs/186787-front-end-react-soft...
- Developer Evangelist - https://angel.co/stackshare/jobs/86973-developer-evangelist
- Technical Content Manager - https://angel.co/stackshare/jobs/145270-content-manager

We're a small distributed team of 5, spread out across the US. Our Stack: Ruby/Rails/React/PostgreSQL https://stackshare.io/stackshare.

How we work:

Every engineer owns and is responsible for the products they build (e.g. Stack News). Before writing any code, the engineer tagged to the product writes a blog post announcing it to the StackShare community. From there, they spec out the product in detail and get feedback from at least one other engineer. Once the initial version of the product is built they ship it to a small group of beta testers, gather feedback, and iterate. Once the product has shipped to production, this engineer is then responsible for monitoring the metrics that matter for this product and iterating to improve it. Since we're building a product for engineers, we believe in letting our engineers work on things that interest them and giving them ownership over these products.

Interview process:

Phone screen -> technical interview -> code project -> product interview -> offer letter!

Making Money is worth reading, still.
That's it in a nutshell.

There are people here who'll do the work, do any work, for the right money.

Employers don't want to pay, though. You've seen those charts about productivity graphed against worker pay, and how for the last 40 years, the productivity has gone up while the worker pay has stayed mostly flat?

That's the problem.

And why pay more, when you can sink a tiny fraction of what you would be spending on labor, to fund a congressional campaign and have the laws changed in your favor?

If there's an answer to this besides unionization and better pro-worker laws, I'd love to hear it.
Peg | Full Stack Developer | London | ONSITE | fulltime | https://peg.co/hiring | £45k-£55k + equity

We're on a mission to shift $1BN in advertising budgets towards independent content creators, so we're after someone with frontend and backend development skills to help make that happen.

I don't intend to be mean or anything, but why did you post this here? The prompt was for $500+/mo income projects. "No revenue yet" is not $500+/mo.
Totally, I was just trying to be extra pedantic.
I am hesitant to remap capslock because it will fuck me on any computer that isn't mine.

Besides. If I'd remap anything to capslock it'd be escape, but thats down to Vim.
These results seem important for nonconvex optimization in general, but for ML applications where we usually use stochastic/batch gradient descent, I wonder if the the stochasticity adds enough perturbation for this to not really be that useful.
This is really helpful to know. I was thinking of those tools independently but overlooked that people may be using multiple collaboration tools. The part that you mentioned with the tools being "adequate" is where I've been stuck lately. I thought building yet another collaboration tool / software could resolve some of the issues with information getting lost / ease of sharing. Seems like there is more to the problem though
I just want cheap sound, that costs as cheap as possible to replace when I lose whatever it is I'm using to listen and talk, and no dongles.
Just a suggestion, maybe you can post a redacted information resume? I saw some people do that last month. Their name, company, and phone number was marked out.
Home page of your site appears to currently say it's free [1] - how're you making $150 a day?

Full dynamic LED headlights are actually a pretty cool innovation. They're brighter, they can illuminate corners, and they can avoid blinding opposing traffic by selectively deactivating or dimming parts of the light field. (I don't know if the Model S specifically has that latter feature though, but it's one of the big selling points of the technology.)

Keep in mind that these are high-end luxury cars we're talking about. Folks don't buy a new Mercedes to get halogen headlights. They know it's expensive and are okay with that.
some of those links don't work... perhaps the position is filled = /
That line of reasoning could be applied to pretty much every single comment in this thread. Literally. Pick any comment and you could simply respond with: "Well it's not released yet so it's not pertinent".

The very fact that the announcement includes "the ultimate goal of contributing it to the open source community later in 2017" makes the licensing issue pertinent, particularly given Facebook's licensing history.
We probably get like 20-30 support tickets per month now (we used to get about 50 per month). It can be a drain as neither I, nor my business partner really want to deal with it. We haven't hired anyone to deal with it yet... The issues we get requests on now are more like really technical issues that take a while to debug and write up the solution.

Math and Pencil | Software Engineer | Anywhere | Full-time | https://www.mathandpencil.com

We are a small full-stack consulting agency with locations on the US East and West coast. I'm looking for two talented developers looking to work remotely full-time building distributed real-time applications using:

* React/Redux/Webpack
* Python(Django)
* Postgres/Redis
* AWS/S3/Ubuntu/etc.

You need to have a degree in a technical subject, and you are going to need to pass our programming exams. Located in or near NYC a plus, but it shouldn't matter for the right candidate. Unfortunately, these are not junior level positions - so please only apply if you have many years architecting complicated web apps. Also, for legal reasons, this project requires US citizenship. Thank you!

Fulcrum | Android/iOS, POs/PMs, QA | Chicago, IL | Remote - US Only (Travel to HQ occasionally required) | Visa: H1B transfer (US only at this time) | Full-time

We're the mobile team at a professional services company whose mission is to optimize business and back-office processes in our target industries. Specifically, you'd be joining a small but enthusiastically growing group of engineers and product specialists building native mobile apps that transform our client's decision making and supply chain operations.

We believe enterprise scale provides opportunities for revolutionary tech developments that equal or surpass those in the consumer space, so while you won't find our software on Google Play or the App Store, you will find us leading the push for mobile-first solutions at top firms worldwide. This focus on disruption serves not only as a daily motivator to ship best-in-class software, but also to invest in and remain on the forefront of innovative technology. We're looking for new colleagues to join us and take over enterprise proserv.

Email me w/ any questions or to apply (please include a brief cover letter, resume, and portfolio): zmartin@fulcrum-gt.com
> I know: I’ll create a triple zoned redundant architecture with pub/sub database replication, a 32 node Kubernetes cluster and private networking across all regions – that way, I can handle anything!

Well, maybe not a 32 node k8s cluster. However, spinning up K8s clusters is so easy now, that it costs almost no time to deploy stuff there. And so many things are taken care for you: configuration, secret storage, networking, versioning, keeping services up, etc.

If on AWS, there's Kops. If on GCP, that's even easier, a couple of clicks and you have a cluster.
I use _ instead of - for the vertical split. But other than that, I can really recommend these splits.

I also agree with OP on keeping with Vim defaults. Simply because you are more likely to find yourself behind a non-configured Vim than a non-configured tmux.
But, when the price of other labor sources is cheaper (eg H1-B, interns, your nephew, etc), economics dictates that you should use those instead of the local population.

The solution, imo, is to raise the price of the other sources somehow. That way, the local population is cheaper.
1- I am not sure what kind of house you are talking about, but typical costs for energy efficiency result in less than a 10% increase in total costs.

2- ok.

3- The savings can be much greater than that. Insulation alone has an amazing bang for the buck. And its passive.

4- Added maintenance for windows? They don't require a diamond polisher to be cleaned. Who replaces their windows and doors every 20 years? What specifically needs extra maintenance?

5- Even if you are not living in the house, you can capture a higher profit margin by including utilities in the rental price, or marketing it as an energy efficient house. This is a real edge case though. Interest rates are about 3.5% now. Even in your inflated cost estimate, that translates to $700 in interest for 6 months. Not exactly game changing IMHO.

You are also missing an important point- energy efficient houses also tend to be a lot more comfortable, there are less drafts, less swings in temperature, less affected by outside noise. And you get the satisfaction of not having to care so much if energy prices increase.
Procured Health | Full Stack Engineer | Chicago, IL | ONSITE | Full Time

As a Full Stack Engineer at Procured Health, you will directly impact our healthcare system by writing and architecting software that enables hospitals to lead real change in the industry. Our Engineering team is expanding and we are looking for full stack engineers with strong front end development experience - specifically Vue.js.

You will work in open source Python libraries, but don’t worry if you lack Python experience.

You’ll also integrate data from our machine learning software with various database backends like PostgreSQL and Redshift and develop an interactive UI that drives user adoption and engagement. The products you develop will be used by leading health systems across the country to drive better decision making and patient outcomes.

The successful candidate is a software engineer who is ready to play the crucial role of building the applications that are essential to the success of our business. You like constructive code review and writing useful tests. You bring data to topics of debate. You work with other engineers, designers, and product managers in an Agile environment to help everyone bring their best. You focus on the value delivered to the user and help the team iterate toward a better solution.

Stack: Django, Vue.js, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redshift, AWS

Just a note on twitter - it looks like there is a false positive for the availability of 'wood'

https://www.99inbound.com - Forms and form-endpoints for close.io, add a form to your website and have entries sync to Close.io as new leads. Made this as a side-project when I needed this functionality and didn't want to pay out the nose for Zapier.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.matthewrat... - Android app to check-in to foursquare/swarm in one click. Used to be more popular when checking in was more of a thing. Revenue comes from an in-app upgrade that adds minimal features, so is more of a 'thank you' upgrade. Built in a weekend.

And of course, investments in index funds like VTI and BND.

When I launched Simple Check-in upgrade payments it did about $400/day for a week which was very exciting.
> The thousand word essay that turns up absolutely no evidence of foul play or conspiracy by owners of social media

The multi-thousand word essay that not only speaks of verifiable evidence from the author's own research proving the order or omission of search engine results heavily shape opinion, without detection, and:

1. Gives evidence from multiple other sources that Google's results are biased to support their business interests.

2. Calls upon a 50+ year precedent of corporations using all forms of media to manipulate opinion.

3. Recites the fact that two C-level Googlers straight up worked for Hillary Clinton.

4. Recites the fact that Google's search algorithm is a black box.

All this on the heels of a revelation that Eric Schmidt (one of those two that worked for Clinton) is willing to flex his muscle in nefarious ways when people are critical of Google, and you'd have to be unbelievably naive to think that he's above using his technology along with his money.
I made ~$4000 last month by arbitraging crypto currencies on 3 markets.

I use a bot to do the work for me, but I monitor it very closely and I spend a lot of optimizing the old code. I don't have much money on the exchanges because I don't trust them but I could make much more if I wanted to risk more.
The main reason for this is RSU. The base salary at those companies is not much more than rest of industry. But at senior levels the RSU matches or exceeds the entire base salary.

Other companies have a hard time matching this. Startups try but the common wisdom now is to value those at zero. It seems only public traded companies stock is now considered as having value. And only public SV tech companies give these massive RSU to engineers. Other public companies don't do this. And they are not willing to match the RSU amounts with cash. It's possible this situation will only exist as long as this bull market. When the stock market bear comes, will these tech companies continue the massive RSU? And if not will they replace it with cash?

Classic content with attached sales funnel play. The aim is to help people become better engineers. Been hammering away at the React visualizations niche for a bit over two years now and it’s time to make something new.

Product sales make around $20k/year and are slowly trending up, and I’m experimenting with coaching which makes around $1k/month but is hard to scale due to time/focus.

Also doing some influencer marketing type deal with https://school.shoutem.com makes about $1.5k/month and I build React Native apps for them and write about it.

All in all, going to come up to around $50k in sidehustle this year. Been 2x-ing YoY steadily for the past 3 years since I got serious about it.

I write posts about all this stuff on my blog if you’re interested —> swizec.com/blog
