SEEKING WORK - SF Bay Area on-site or remote

Generally available for freelance web app engineering work. I've been working with Rails and JS for ~9 years now, at all points up and down the stack. Everything from performance work on existing code to bringing up a full-fledged product from wireframes. I’ve also been doing some Swift lately.

In the past, I've worked with companies like CircleCI, Remind, Leap Motion, Anki, Rocket Fuel, and TaskRabbit. Before that, I had two startups of my own. In my spare time, I fly airplanes. Currently booked through Q1 2018, but I’m always happy to meet up for coffee and chat.

Yes, I know, thanks, but at the end of the day the Lytro nice technology allows for focus and depth of field correction (besides some slight shift in pespective), but once the "wow" effect has faded away (I mean for "plain" photography), that's it.

For cinema, VR and CGI it is simply great of course.
> Ask yourself if they’re just trying to deflect from whatever controversial thing they did in the first place.

People forget how gamergate actually started. A bunch of “gamer journalists” were caught red handed colluding with game producers to write stellar reviews for some botched B-list games (e.g. “depression quest”). People were rightfully upset and any discussion on the subject was banned from reddit and similar forums. The “harassment campaign” narrative was pushed much later to deflect from the gaming journalism controversy.
You are talking about anonymous twitter accounts and 4chan posts. For all we know the 'victims' could have made them themself to get fools like you to give them Patreon bucks.

> Can you imagine if the feds prosecuted every idiot who made a death threat online?

I imagine there'd be a lot fewer death threats if there was de facto official tolerance for them.
I recall that the systemd package maintainer for Debian got death threats. From outside, hearing about death threats related to volunteer work to package software that is given out for free is something I strongly suspect sound unbelievably odd. This happened after gamergate and I doubt anyone got arrested for it.

I recall a few months ago during the days of meeto here in Sweden, children of accused parent got threatened thus resulting in the family leaving the country for a while. No investigation was mentioned in the news article.

From what I see, now is not better than before. Death threats made online/sms/phone is not taken serious unless there is contributing reasons to take it serious.
> So the web browser is pretty much a mini operating system.

Was this not the tacit reason for Microsoft's burying of Netscape? A browser that is a portable platform for applications was a threat to its de-facto near-monopoly in operating systems for personal / end-user computing.
You can't secretly do it though.

With a new coin on a fresh chain, a premine can be secret, and outsiders can't tell the difference between a premine and the initial few users.
It's not that the competition is unregulated really. It's more that to enter the market as a supplier you need the resources to fight the government's involved and the other cartels which will happily just murder you instead.
At some point, you have to stop following that advice or you end up on Lotus Notes and Tivoli. Which is entirely relevant to this discussion.
Not a stupid question. Mice (and all other animals besides maybe nonhuman primates) don't get Alzheimer's. There are mice bred to display symptoms of Alzheimer's. Because nobody knows the "root cause" it's a bit of a catch-22. The same holds true for many other neurodegenerative/psych disorders.
That's great!

Show HN: Product Management Interview questions with answers
Ah, apologies. I copied the NYSE post on the original thread. I'll edit.
The last paragraph (we aren't hiring) is key. Any SF company could pay SF rates (they usually try to get out of it) if they played the same game Basecamp plays (e.g. build profitable product, don't hyper-grow company).
I only think this applies to certain ecosystems (ones where the motivation or incentive to provide the software doesn't align with ensuring user's safety or security).

The native apps I run on my Linux laptop, for example, I trust quite a bit. There may be a way for someone to sneak in some obfuscated code that does some harm, but I think the risks are much lower than many of the alternatives.

Hitwise | Santa Monica, CA or Camarillo, CA | Full-Time | Onsite

Hitwise is forming a new team that will own the data pipeline behind our consumer insights product. We value a broad understanding of not just the technical landscape but also keen interest in the product itself. We often face intriguing challenges with trade-offs in both technical and product dimensions.

We are looking a pragmatic team player who values data over dogma. We hope you're sympathetic to the trade-offs and decisions of previous engineers faced with a complex and evolving business. We value experience identifying and mitigating technical and product risk. You are a life-long learner, happy to pick up a new programming language or framework as needed.

Required:
Java, Scala, C# or similar language, SQL, wisdom

Relevant: Hadoop, MapReduce, Hive, Spark, Pig, Python, Flask (or similar), Bootstrap, Docker development, Bamboo or Jenkins, statistics, MongoDB, Airflow/Rundeck or similar, online consumer insights/analytics or online advertising, PagerDuty or other monitoring/alerting systems, basic familiarity with anomaly detection and alerting
The words "total compensation" should just be banned from these discussions. It conflates a principle measure (base salary) with intangibles such as RSUs (a future value) and benefits. Without comparing specific companies it is impossible to say which is better (unless there is an extreme variance).

I think article was pretty focused on PG. :) unlike MSSQL it does not cluster data on an index (you can run cluster command but it will not be preserved as data is inserted updated) so that concern is fairly specific to MSSQL.
I will toot the hypothes.is [0] horn again. It is possible (if sometimes finicky) to use it to annotate pdfs. See for example a demo annotation [1]. The other really cool thing about this is that hypothes.is fingerprints pdfs and uses a URN to uniquely identify them, so you can annotate a local copy of a pdf (in the browser) and those annotations will show up on any other copy of that pdf anywhere on the internet.

I'm always shocked that these IRS scams ever work, let alone consistently enough to make them viable businesses. Someone with an Indian accent and really bad phone connection calls you up and tells you they are from the IRS and you need to pay them "taxes" with an Apple gift card, and people fall for this?? First off, the government will never contact you by phone. I thought everyone knew this but if not the FTC is here to remind you [1]. Second, even if they did, wouldn't you require some kind of written evidence before you paid? Third, Apple gift cards? Seriously??? I guess a fool and their money are soon parted, but this is a pretty unbelievable level of gullibility.

Koru Kids | London | Full-time Onsite | Full Stack Ruby Engineer #2 | https://www.korukids.co.uk

Koru Kids is growing quickly. We’re on a mission to improve childcare in London, and looking for someone experienced, creative & friendly to join the team as our second full stack engineer.

We’re building a marketplace that enables families to find and share great quality nannies. To do this, we’re building great software for our families, supporting our matching team with critical tools that make complex matching problems a breeze, and using technology to supercharge our nanny recruitment and training processes.

We’re continuously improving our product, building key features that will move the needle in a big way. Instead of an endless product roadmap, we run short development cycles to test assumptions and make smart decisions quickly. This isn’t a sprint and there’s no project managers, we work closely with the rest of the business to make sure we deliver the most value to our customers.

Our stack uses Ruby for most of the backend, with Rails, PostgreSQL and Redis making up the majority of our core product. We use modern front end tooling, with ES6, React and Tachyons. When it comes to shipping code, we love GitHub code reviews and making CircleCI happy before anything gets into production. We mostly deploy to Heroku, with some heavy lifting on AWS. We favour feature flags over staging environments and deploy to production as often as we need to; deployment cycles shouldn’t get in the way of delivering value.

We’re looking for an experienced Ruby developer who thrives in small, fast-moving engineering teams.

Sauce Labs | Berlin | Backend developer | Full Time

We need more folks to help us build and improve our world-class cloud-based iOS and Android testing platform. Customers love us because we support a very wide range of devices with a variety of testing frameworks and we do it well.

That said, we have some challenges. Here's some:

* Adding support for new iOS and Android versions as soon as possible after launch

* Digging into low-level OS code to do things like remote control them, and doing this reliably across all devices

* Handling seamless deployments despite having state in the form of physical devices that we can't just abstract away

* Scaling to meet the demands of some very big customers

If you've got more questions about work here please let me know! I've worked for Sauce Labs on the real device team here in Berlin for over two years now and love it. Our stack is mostly Java/Docker/Angular with a bit of Python, haproxy, and soon React - you'll get your hands dirty in all sorts of tech all through the pipeline.

Here's the link to the Java backend position, roughly the same as my own position here: http://grnh.se/f8enm41

You were simply not part of their business model. The point is that their competitors were all freemium. It's not that their competitors were technically incompetent and didn't know how to buy storage or build spam filters but that they were crippled on purpose.
I think this premise is wrong:

> 2. As a corollary, your app's codebase should be universal — write once for server and client

This is a mistake a lot of developers make. The server and client are not the same. As far as rendering HTML goes, the client does a superset of what the server does.

This means either the framework has to be without leaks; meaning you never need raw DOM access at all, OR it means once you do need lower-level access (for doing animations, for example) you are in trouble. You now have a problem where you have some code that needs to only run in the client. So you have to special case that code to check if running on the server. And you need a strategy for what to do in the server (do you just omit this part, or do you try to do something more basic or what?)

In my experience you run into more pain trying to plug the leaks in these "universal" apps than you would if you just had separate server and client templates. Remember that the rule of 3 is the rule of 3, not the rule of 2.

I hear what you're saying...and I've felt this quite often myself with previous employers. However, I challenge you (in a good way!) to consider using this as a question (or a set of questions) for your next job interview. You like the "basecamp" treatment, that's clear...and ok, maybe no other company might be exactly like them...but this can arm you with some ideas to ask your next potential employer/contract-holder, etc. Think of how you can structure your questions to that potential employer to see if they would value you as an employee like basecamp-type of companies do. It couldn't hurt, right? Best of luck!
No, there are other XAML variants, like Avalon and Xamarin.Forms.

JavaFX also follows the same design ideas.

And there is QML as well.

Maybe we realize now going to the moon from a financial standpoint is purely political. If there was a efficient way and industrial need for plenty of resources from the moon maybe they'd make it possible. But right now grandiose measures of showing off your countries genitals kind of creates a narrative of wasted resources to me right now.

I've heard the argument that spending on stuff like this creates jobs and economy and I'm sure it does. But work a soup kitchen for a day and you'd realize we have economies of wealth built on the back of despair and hopelessness.

Our society needs to change to be a space faring one. Maybe I'm stupid and a traveling to space would initiate the change we need. I just can't see how.

I see the difference as there being a national economy and government closely tied to USD.

Usually, central bank tries to manipulate supply and velocity of USD so it doesn't become too scarce. Because short supply of money leads to deflation and stagnation of the economy.
