https://flic.kr/p/v1NZ73

As a frontend engineer, you'll join the small sub-team that owns the core experience of Parse.ly’s customer-facing SaaS dashboard. You'll have an opportunity to ship new features to customers -- working in JavaScript, HTML5, CSS & LESS, Python, and some other technologies.

For this role, you’ll need to be strong in JavaScript; have a keen sense of good design; have experience with web/mobile frameworks; and enjoy D3.js.

For bonus points, you'd develop some comfort level implementing native iOS or Android applications.

In short, we're looking for people who enjoy crafting beautiful user experiences & products, and who also enjoy shipping to customers regularly.

You need to be technical enough to do real Python/Django programming (possibly after some training/practice); to build up a portfolio of real D3.js visualizations; to navigate JS frameworks like Angular, React, Vue; to evaluate open source code; and to develop some experience with native mobile development.

Join us to build the world's best content analytics dashboard. Apply at work@parsely.com with a couple paras describing why you're interested, a link to any portfolio/code you think is relevant, and/or your resume or LinkedIn profile. Make sure to mention HN and the "Frontend Engineer" role. Also, please list your timezone, working hours, and location. Note that though we can hire from most locations, we will prioritize those near US_Eastern or GMT timezones, due to our current team working hours.
Ok... So... i just signed up, and it walked me though some steps. Verify Email: Done, Customize (change reporting URL): Done... Configure: (change some domain filters)... Done... 2FA: Done... but how do i actually set this up?! like, what do i need to put on my site to enable this?! WTF?! is this done at a page level? (HTML inserted into the page) is it at a server level (Nginx, Apache?) Or is it done somewhere else?! where do i set this up?! more digging required, but it would have been handy to have a guide for what i need to install...
What's your point? I live in a world full of people who are native to Japan. I'm not in some sort of expat bubble. I can go weeks without seeing any foreigners here. It's not difficult for me to know the perspective of people who grew up here.
Yeah, I agree with you that the gravy train is ending. But I think we mistake the ability for a business to exist at its peak or grow continually for its long-term viability. Look at the record companies. We're nearing two decades since the MP3 revolution, and most of the companies are still around in some form. ESPN, too, will have to adapt to a new post-bundle reality. But I see no real threat to their overall status as The Worldwide Leader In Sports. I'm not shedding any tears for them. They simply have to innovate.

Be Expressive: How to Give Your Variables Better Names
> what's the business model behind it's development. I'm too much of a skeptic to believe it's just so developers have a warm fuzzy feeling associated with Microsoft

There are a couple things others touch on, but to expand on a few things:

1. Microsoft was formed for developers in the first place. It's first product was BASIC (for MOS 6502). Developer productivity has always been a part of Microsoft's long term vision of itself. It is entirely possible for VSCode to be developed solely to give developers warm fuzzies and for that to fit Microsoft's long term vision.

2. VSCode gently encourages you to explore other Microsoft tools and services. It's built in Typescript and makes cross-platform .NET a reality and has some useful Azure integration extensions to help you run things on Azure services. Part of the delight to VSCode is that it doesn't hard sell any of those: it offers them as opt-in tools and lets you explore them yourself. (Opinion: This is a wonderful sort of return to confidence from Microsoft that their developer tools nearly sell themselves on their own merits, Microsoft doesn't need to hard sell them.)

3. VSCode is "made out of Azure". Part of why VSCode has seemed so effortless to build was that a lot of the core pieces (particularly the Monaco code editor at the heart of VSCode was built for Azure, then reused by IE/Edge Dev Tools, VSTS, before being brought into its own in VSCode) were built for Azure itself to provide a nice development/devops environment experience in the cloud. That seems a pretty good advertisement for something like Azure when even the systems built to support the services offered are strong development tools of their own merit.

> This is untrue; very few people have a problem with patriotism.

Look, I come from the left. Growing up, there was definitely the sense that it is in poor taste to express enthusiasm about America or being an American. That it was something reserved for red necks who drive pick up trucks. The American flag, as a symbol, was considered gauche and the only time you would wear anything with the flag on it is if you were being self-consciously ironic. There was no sense that America was great. Instead, the focus was almost exclusively on America's flaws.
What a neat idea! Good work!

No monetization from the team on this particular product (yet). But, there are unofficial API frameworks (Search NPM for example) & they haven't really implemented any aggressive rate-limiting. Normal usage should be fine.
I recommend the book "Red Plenty" by Francis Spufford:

https://amazon.com/o/asin/B0074HCLPE

It's a novel set as a series of historical vignettes. While it is semi-fictional, it's been widely praised for capturing the initial optimism and the growing absurdity behind the Soviet economy, the people trying to control it and its effects on the citizens in general. It does describe in part the attempt to computerize the economy and how the system was gamed, etc.
I think you got a couple of things mixed up:

1) McCain and Rogers's policy views are close to those of neocons (aka, cold-war liberals), best known for their hawkish foreign policy and efficient, smart gov't. They both are supporters of SpaceX and are behind the new legislation that supposedly favors SpaceX. That said, neither McCain or Rogers identify themselves as neocons -- they are just very hawkish when it comes to foreign policy.

2) Ron Paul and those critical of SpaceX (in this particular context) are paleo/libertarian conservatives. They are the polar opposite of neocons in that they are fervently against hawkish foreign policy and crony capitalism which they view as inevitable products of a big gov't.

Now, SpaceX is something neocons would love and SpaceX has cuddled with those two politicians to spice things up. SpaceX's political, campaign donation and McCain and Roger's support of SpaceX/the new legislation which seems to favor Space-X is a big no-no in Paul's book.
An example for such an alternative backend would be runv, which can apparently be used with Docker (though I couldn't get it to work well, but that was probably just my fault)

> "DevOps" (which means different things to different people)

you're not kidding. at one company i worked at, it meant "let's lay off the support team and have the developers take tech support calls from the customers!".
Matrix is terrific. I've "converted" some friends from Signal to Riot and we're not going back. Video/calls and group chats work a lot better, and the riot.im web client is excellent (at least, compared to Signals lack of).

I've also stopped using an IRC client and just use a Matrix bridge. Really happy so far.

Main drawback is that E2E is a bit clunky to set up, and downright confusing for non-technical users.
Scsh runs in a modified scheme48 repl - no problems with interactive use, though I've not run it as an actual login shell, though perportedly that works
It's a bit more than $5, but you can try a service like PostScanMail.com that will scan your mail for you and let you manage it virtually. You can choose to have certain items forwarded or opened and contents scanned.
In theory, Handy (https://www.handy.com/services) does this for you for significantly higher rates at your own home. I've used the service before when it first started and rates were 40-60%/hour of what they are now. Seems like they could not keep up with demand - scheduled appointments would get cancelled less than an hour before and be incredibly inconvenient - which I would guess was a factor to them increasing their prices to attract more talent while keeping margins.

tl;dr; services like this exist, but 60-70$/mo is laughably low (assuming min 2-3 loads of washer + dryer per month)

We can look at the ProduceRequest logic in their design doc - (https://docs.google.com/document/d/11Jqy_GjUGtdXJK94XGsEIK7C...)

Check the sequence number map to determine if the PID is already present.
If it is not, check sequence number.
If it is 0, insert the PID, epoch, and sequence number into the PID mapping table and proceed to append the entries.
If the sequence is not zero, return the InvalidSequenceNumber error code.
If the PID is present in the mapping, check the epoch.
If the epoch is older than the current one, return InvalidProducerEpoch error code.
If the epoch matches the current epoch, check the sequence number:
If it matches the current sequence number, allow the append.
If the sequence number is older than the current sequence number, return DuplicateSequenceNumber.
If it is newer, return InvalidSequenceNumber.
If the epoch is newer, check the sequence number.
If it is 0, update the mapping and allow the append.
If it is not 0, return InvalidSequenceNumber.

That's a pretty straightforward approach of enforcing idempotency; checking producer and sequence IDs and throwing them out if they aren't correctly ordered. The other big addition to the code base was cross-partition transactions, which, while pretty cool, is a far cry from "Exactly once delivery".
Fiverr folks are just copy pasting Google translate and doing slight edits. Except some rare exceptions (Mandarin). Quality control is a hard problem to solve (worked on a startup in this space), and the only really good solution is to pay a reputable translator / agency > 12¢ per word.
You definitely have inflation and deflation backwards here.
The technical requirements of running google maps would immediately turn your dumb phone into a smart phone.

Michael Seibel, CEO of YC, expects us to be a household name in the next few years: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13896296. We were also covered by the Washington Post last year (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2016/04/1...), and have more than 5x the number of schools using us since it was published.

We're still a small team, so if you're looking to join a fast-growing startup and have an immediate impact, we're looking for both full-stack (Ruby on Rails, Postgres) and front-end engineers with at least 2 years of professional experience. Our current team was previously with Facebook, Amazon, and Intel.

Please no recruiters or dev shops.

Reach out to careers@givecampus.com with a bit about why you're passionate about education, and a project you've working on that you're particularly proud of.
This comment identifies parties responsible for actions, but these actions are taken by democrats and republicans alike, no president in my life time has failed to engage in these practices. This is not a political response.

Recessions are not "just how economies work". Recessions and depressions are the product of the monetary shenanigans of the central bank, as laid out well in the Austrians Business Cycle Theory. The short overview is, easy money means government gets to spend and the money creation process includes showering those at the top - wall street banks and government connected entities-- with new money that they are expected to "invest" in the economy. The problem is this is malinvestment and distorts the markets.

You can only do it so long and you invariably create bubbles.

A recent example of this I have lived thru is the dotcom boom...when it went bust, interest rates were put below the cost of money, and banks were mandated to make bad loans (prudent underwriting of loans was considered "racist" by democrats in the late 1990s so CRA was changed, later analysis showed it wasn't correlated with race after all.) Then under Bush the spigots were really opened and suddenly you have very cheap money to buy houses with.

Buying a house with cheap federal reserve money was a form of the carry trade--- where you buy an asset worth X and then pay it back with increasingly lowered value dollars.

This resulted in the housing bubble and of course the housing crisis.... which was "fixed" with massive amounts of even more easy money. This money is now going into wall street again, this time into equities, and hedge funds and venture capital.

It will eventually bust again.

IF you don't have an easy money policy then interest rates follow the supply demand dynamics of a market, and it will self regulate. Even if you don't think it will perfectly regulate itself (and that's true) it will tend to, rather than get way out of whack.

What we have now is an economy that is has gotten so out of whack and never been able to properly recover itself by unwinding the last two bubbles.

Bolsheviks were a faction in Russian communist movement (vs. Mensheviks), they would totally say they were communist.

Lenin's idea of transitional phase did not materialize until the failure of "war communism" policy in 1918-1920 became apparent. That phase was more-or-less direct attempt at implementing the tenets of Communist Manifesto literally.

Sorry Cory Doctorow, but the 'open' web is going the way of the open ranges of cattle drives. There's too many banditos robbing stagecoaches now, we need the Cavalry. As you say, this will end in a 'Chinese' manner. Nationalism and borders have proved to be stronger than the net.
A typo involving a wrongly doubled number next to a wrongly not doubled number in the interior of the number seems like a very human error. Seeing it happen in 0.0017% of the cases doesn't seem all that hard to believe. I've processed human input, nothing surprises me anymore.

The author focuses on the political dimension of seemingly technical proposals,
the relationship between information and power, and the transformative role of users of
computer technology

One of the things that programmers who are also business people need to keep in mind, is that information technology is often a tool of power or regulation. Power is limited by information/knowledge. You cannot exercise power over something that you know nothing about. If your knowledge of something is incomplete, then your power over it is also incomplete. (It is also easy to see this in RTS games, where the mechanic is called the "Fog of War.")

This principle is also readily apparent in social media. Information technology was used to disperse power and put it into many hands, with widespread results in current day society. Information technology can also be used to aggregate power into fewer hands. Many forms of social media are an example of both dispersal and aggregation at the same time.

Startups accomplish goals by aggregating power. Creating new markets and ecosystems is both the aggregation and dispersal of power. Exercising your right of association in such a situation is the exercise of power. It is very important, therefore, to remember that 1) power corrupts, especially arbitrary power absent oversight and therefore 2) power is best exercised transparently.
It's much more likely that those taking such drunks, are at a much higher disposition of developing such complications.

I started taking such a drug again after developing stomach issues. I had a scare a couple of years ago, and it was only by chance that I changed to another GP who was much more attentive, turned out that I was only months away of having a haemorrhage that would have likely been fatal. All from a few years taking a 'safe' anti-inflammatory. Now I won't touch any NSAIDs (which is a shame as I'm in more pain), but it isn't worth the risk of further damage, which was left me as a coeliac (body went after the wrong target).

How often do you read about NSAIDs? No, it's how Fentanyl is killing so many heroin addicts, yet the patches are safely used by millions.
