It can be really hard for adults to make new friends, especially if they move to a new city/State for work etc which is contributing towards loneliness. Lots of apps like GirlCrew are popping up to help combat loneliness among adults in the US, particularly women aged 25-40. For many the loneliness comes from the fact that all their friends have got married/settled down and they are the last singleton in the group.
> if a feature exists in C, it probably exists in every language most programmers are familiar with.

I don't think that's true.

Off the top of my head, C has: array point decay, padding, bit fields, static types, stack allocated arrays, integers of various sizes, untagged enums, goto, labels, pointer arithmetic, setjmp/longjmp, static variables, void pointers, the C preprocessor.

Those features are all absent in many other languages and are totally foreign to users that only know those languages. A large part of C is exposing a model that memory is a freely-interpretable giant array of bytes. Most other languages today are memory safe and go out of their way to not expose that model.
You're right about their incentive, but in this case it's the right thing for the wrong reason. I don't think it makes the article invalid.
Burner + Ad Hoc Labs | Mobile, back end, and dev ops engineers | Los Angeles | Full-time | ONSITE

Burner is innovating at the intersection of software and telecom by offering smart virtual numbers that help users maintain privacy, organize their communications, and manage their identities online. We have a thought leadership position on user privacy and control and are at the forefront of what phone numbers are capable of when treated like smart software rather than dumb directory endpoints.

We are also a founder-led team generating millions of dollars in revenue and "control our destiny" from a VC point of view, while growing well. We have recently hired a fantastic new CTO and are building up our engineering and product teams to further innovate and drive the value and utility of Burner to our users, while also exploring other opportunities. We are hiring a DevOps lead (kubernetes, docker, terraform), an Android Developer (Java/Kotlin), an iOS Engineer (Swift), and a Platform Engineer (Scala) to join our team. We will also review strong candidates from other disciplines warmly.

We've been based in Atwater Village, Los Angeles since before it started blowing up and have a great team, culture, and office vibe.

I like to refer to Adam ruins everything on Millennials:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HFwok9SlQQ

TL;DW Generational titles (Boomers, Gen X, Y, whatever) are invented by authors to sell books. They never bring people up and are always used to tear people down. Everything said about Millennials has been said about every generation ever. You can take a Time magazine cover from the 50s about the entitled generation and slap a modern photo on it and it's the same damn thing. It's lazy.

Millennials are the most diverse of any generation. That's about all you can really say, other than we're the most in debt and most likely to take unpaid internships compared to any previous generation. It's a straw man and it needs to die.

numo | DevOps, FrontEnd, Mobile, QA | Pittsburgh, PA | Full-time ONSITE | https://numo.com/careers/

At numo, we create and incubate new "fintech" companies. We have the good fortune of starting from a clean slate and are able to use the latest and greatest frameworks and tools. You will work with an excellent team of engineers, product managers and designers on a variety of interesting projects in the Bakery Square area of Pittsburgh.

We are still picking out our stack, but are strongly leaning towards Scala on the backend. We haven't settled on our front-end framework (Angular? React? Other?) and are about to start evaluating mobile frameworks. This is a great opportunity to help us choose our platform and create what, in a few short years, will be legacy code :-).

We currently only have the DevOps and Front End roles posted, but are also looking for Mobile engineers, a Director of Engineering and QA Engineers. Email your resume to doug [@] numo [dot] com if you are interested in learning more.

We need help creating web applications with functionality ranging from visualizing terabytes of biological data to fine grained interrogation of disease­ causing mutations. To support these apps, we are looking to create systems that will analyze and search huge amounts of genomic data, support our visualization and collaboration needs, and provide a robust API. Expertise in web development and/or database design/optimization is desired. Our technology stack is postgres, node, and vue.js. Specialized knowledge of biology or genomics is not required.

The successful applicant will be involved in both designing and building these systems and apps and will also help with our goal of simplifying genomic analysis in order to move toward precision medicine.

Remuneration will include both a competitive salary and stock in Frameshift Genomics. Contact us at cmiller@frameshift.io
> The net effect these platforms have on us is to alienate us from our very lives.

I really like this conclusion paragraph. I definitely feel that everything I do through my phone is a much worse version than if I had just done them irl. Socializing is the biggest one. It makes me very happy to be with friends, but when I check up on people through FB etc I may get some instant gratification but it really just leaves me a little depressed in the end.

* Wordpress/CodeIgniter/Yii/Drupal (Components, Hacks, Themes) - less motivated, unless truly cutting edge (or WP VIP projects)

* CI & Unit testing - Jenkins, Mocha & Karma for JS, Toast for PHP, as well as Selenium

* Django (general Python too) - to a lesser extent

Seeking: Challenging projects. Most recently worked extensively with Serverless & AWS APIs, building cloud-related prototypes, before that worked as an AngularJS specialist.

Example work: Upon request

People not only were OK when Obama campaign used social networking data - they actively cheered it, including on HN and tech press, as a new and smart way to reach people. I remember reading a number of articles lauding them for it myself. Now a mundane activity of getting access to searchable public data is presented as some dark conspiracy.

I personally can't see any logic why political ads would be different than coffee machine ads - both try to convince me to do something. It's just there's no organized movement united by hate of coffee machines, so nobody makes a fuss about coffee machine ads.
people who are upvoting anything that includes "facebook" in the title should read it first. it's a bad article full of dramatic language and hyperbole.
This article is completely clickbait.

C is low level. For example, with AVRs everything you do maps very clearly to what happens as opcodes.

It's like the author wants to blame C for whatever reason and conveniently forgets that C is also portable.
Location: EU (changes frequently)
Remote: Yes !

Willing to relocate: Maybe

Let's say the average developer works 45 hours a week at a company and makes $15/hr more than a FT senior dev (with salary calculated at 40 hours). That's $2500 more a year, which sounds bad when you factor in all the FT benefits.

But, the FT senior developer spends a quarter of his/her time in meetings, is expected to be a "team player" in regards to internal politics, and can't do any side projects without running it by the business.

Both sides working 45 figure is kind of a fairy tale too. Having been on both sides, usually either FT or contractors are working all the extra hours. If it's open-ended contracts, then the FT are working many extra, unpaid hours and the contractors get a work/life balance (worth multiple $10k, IMHO). If it's short term contract, the contractors work 50+ hours a week, within the project window, make out like bandits, and go on to the next gig.

It's all preference. Neither side is objectively better.
I live in Mazatlan 6 months a year. I can't recognize the danger alleged in this article. It's simple not in accord with my experience here. It has been years since I have heard of violence against foreigners. There is the sort of urban crime common in the US, and there is a burglary problem, but nothing resembling the spectacular stories in the US news media.

PathAI | Engineering | Boston, MA | Full-time | VISA, ONSITE | https://pathai.com
PathAI is looking for back-end, front-end, and platform engineers to help lead and expand a platform that is already helping detect cancer faster and more accurately while paving the way toward personalized medicine.

We have a modern stack with a mix of Java and Python, alongside a Vue-powered front-end. Services are containerized, and we do our best to have a great engineering environment alongside our regulatory and compliance efforts. We're a technology company working within healthcare, not a healthcare company trying to leverage technology.

We're making some major decisions around the direction of the platform, so we're especially excited to bring on tech leads, but early- and mid-career developers who have great software engineering chops can find a great home here as well.

Work alongside a diverse set of expert technologists, computational biologists, and computer vision scientists – if you're intellectually curious, it's an amazing environment to be in.

Not sure how Zuckerberg being rich matters, but at least in FB case one could argue that social graph data - i.e. list of friends - can be considered at least somewhat private (not sure about FB settings but looks plausible). Content of public posts is definitely not private without any doubt.

That's the free version, good enough for most purposes and certainly for testing. But they have a paid version with some features that are nice for business use if you need that.
Congrats on the initial traction.

I asked this in your Show HN thread, and I'll ask again: where did you get the list of emails belonging to "over 350 million professionals?" This is clearly your main value-add and the reason people are paying you money. But was the data legally sourced? This is the first question any competent VC will ask, and you better have a damn good answer to it, especially in today's political climate around personal data.

Python is rapidly growing in popularity and drawing more attention in tech news, including reports about Python being used involve more high school girls in computer engineering and a recommendation that intro-level college computing classes teach the programming language. Additionally, Stack Overflow's 2018 developer survey found Python is the programming language the most people want to learn. Python is seen and used across the web, from simple personal websites to data mining and machine learning at the world's largest banks.

What makes Python so special? Who are Python developers? And why is it so popular? To answer these and many other important questions, JetBrains and the Python Software Foundation (PSF) partnered on a developer survey of people who use Python as a primary or supplementary language. Until now, there hasn't been a Python-specific study to learn how it is being used by diverse developers, what components complement its use, and what makes it one of the most loved languages.

Young kids are full of themselves, that's for sure. Being a selfish little prick is what teenagedom is about. Usually though, it should fade out and people generally become more socially aware and conscious of their surroundings.

However, I'm seeing quite the opposite. I'm 40+ years old and I'm astounded at how many assholes there are of big babies who overcompensate for everything by being a big prick. At least teenagers have an excuse, but what we define as "Adult" these days escape me.

I'd say us middle age are more to blame for the loneliness perpetuating our obsession with things, work, and lifestyles... none of which have done ANYTHING to bring humanity closer together...

Look at the Xbox for example. I have people who hate me because I play games on the xbox. Why? Look at phones, People will assume your identity and personality on whether you own an iPhone or an Android and which expensive model you can buy. Look at cars - your car describes how manly you are. No one buys a Jeep to go explore the country anymore, they buy a Jeep to show how manly they are and to go instagram pictures of places they have been and how much money they dumped in their vehicle that could have gone where they are stock from the factory.

Feeling alone or left out, stop giving a shit what phone people own, what consoles they play, what OS they run, what movies they like, what politics they adhere to and start giving more shits about how YOU feel and how YOU convey yourself to the world and how YOU should be a better member of society.

What does it matter if Uber punishes drivers who decline rides?

If I’m an independent developer, and I frequently refuse to accept your contract work, you might “punish” me by not offering me as much work in the future. That doesn’t change the fact that I always have the choice to accept offered work or not.
One major drawback to me is the recurring cost. My feeling is that building an offline library that you truely own is much cheaper than using some streaming service with monthly recurring costs that inflate over time.
