SEEKING WORK | Remote, London

Available as Go (Golang) contracts

A self-driven software engineer with 4+ years of international experience in the IT industry, I've been learning from experiences at small startups, mid-sized and public companies. I've been working as full-stack engineer during the first years of my career, gradually moving into a more specialised area. I'm currently an independent contractor

- I'm currently focussed on Backend using mostly Golang

- I'm comfortable working with the AWS infrastructure and I can own the code I produce from specification to production if necessary

- I use modern containerisation technologies such as Docker and well-known development practices like Domain Driven Design

- I've had experience working with Serverless technology mostly using AWS Lambda and with queues systems like AWS SQS and RabbitMQ

- I’ve had exposure to service oriented and micro-services architecture

- I strongly prefer working in agile environments and practicing XP (pair programming, TDD, small releases, CI/CD, collective code ownership, coding standards)

Two New Planets Discovered Using Artificial Intelligence
HN isn't a person, it's a distribution of millions of people. If you think of it as a statistical cloud, it won't seem so paradoxical (e.g. "bipolar").

I don't follow your reference to Nietzsche but if it's relevant here, the same point would surely apply to any group. I try not to lose too much sleep over problems with HN that stem from humans in general. It's hard enough to change the few things we can.
>> Eg. in the 1950s/60s, many European countries had several independent car manufacturers.

The chance is that your point has nothing to do with the borders being open though.
No worries; thanks for letting me know.

I tried to find a condescending remark. What did you find condescending about this article?
We sell mineral rights in the US for next to nothing, so is it really exceptional?

lmao that’s was my reaction. I’ve been taking DHA supplements and eating a plant-based diet for over a decade. I thought the article might expose some skeezy marketing ploys on the part of BigVitamin, that I had been buying into all along, but alas.
Despite criticisms, I've been using the Brave browser on Android, which is pretty much Chrome with integrated AdBlock plus. Though there is some level of irksome override with some advertisers, it's been about the best overall experience for me. May actually switch my desktop browser at home when I build my new computer.
My company uses Sentry.io, which doesn't have AI stuff but does have good tells for separating "normal" errors from "unusual" errors.
so just a blanket bias towards "private equity firms"?
Anthropologists are careful to call for ethical decisions based on evolutionnary arguments.
This company is not very good at communicating.
FWIW, you guys have also pushed this nonsense: https://www.amp.cloudflare.com/

So one could argue you are both pushing the latest standards and the latest nonsense. ;)
To be fair, when you have a tech department of 6 people, who still have to respond to internal support tickets, manage the businesses intranet, and continue development of current projects, not to mention only 2 of those 6 have any clue how to setup/administrate a database... You can see the issue.

You can't just say "Hire more people" because the current setup is "working" and isn't considered critical to the rest of the business when it isn't tech related.
Good question; I am not sure. Imagine if someone were using the SLAM approach to map farm corn fields, in order to determine plant growth rates over the growing season. In that scenario I would think that the majority of the points would be returned from surfaces which were not present in the original point cloud. Of course you could set up ground control stations, surveyed using traditional techniques, and align the new data to them but then you are back to the original point cloud alignment process.
for now, but who knows how things will look like in a 100 years
Is it still 80% if you filter out passive (streaming) and non-human (heartbeats, tracking, analytics) traffic?

If you measured that by doing a count() and group by on the domains of a traffic log, it would be easy to draw a conclusion that doesn't meaningfully reflect real user activity.
Very neat! How can we get this on bash (ubuntu)?
In a lot of areas the tools are fairly stable and progress is more linear. That’s what I liked about C/C++ development where you could go deep and really learn details. The JavaScript world feels to me a little like reinventing the wheel every few years and recreating the same thing over and over. Maybe it needs a few more years/decades to shake out issues and reach some stability.

I think part of the problem is that JavaScript/HTML/CSS are so flexible that it’s really easy to create new stuff.
I don't necessarily agree with that, but it might be a matter of when I started. My first Django projects were done with 0.96 if I recall properly.

Environment management has changed a ton - first with pip replacing easy_install and directly using setup.py, then with a bevy of tools for managing development and deployed environments (Vagrant, Docker, Spinnaker, K8s, etc.), and nowadays with more advanced packaging tools like pipenv or poetry. Along the way we've seen the maturation of CI and all of those supporting tools - linting, style enforcement, and coverage all growing rapidly.

Data Analyst Intern: https://vigilant.breezy.hr/p/64bff54c91c1-data-analyst-inter...

There’s an abundance of valuable public data out there, but it’s buried in siloed, balkanized government databases where it lies largely unusable. Vigilant is a platform for public records data search and monitoring. We unlock that information, make it actionable, and help our customers leverage it to make critical decisions.

Our customers span financial services, politics, public affairs, and media. Our product suite includes a universal search layer for public data and sophisticated monitoring systems.

We value tenacity, a commitment to learning, collaboration and direct communication, diverse opinions, and a deep-seated belief in the power of data to inform and improve how things get done.
> We work in an incredibly immature industry

Whether or not that's true, I don't know if it's the right framing for the problem. Think about how many new cars or new airplanes or new bridges are designed every year. (One or two per large firm? Less? None by any small firms?) Then think about how many new web services are designed every year. (Several for a small firm, dozens for a large firm?)

If "maturing" the software design process means 10x or 100x the cost and time that a project takes today, that isn't going to fly in the market. It might make more sense to point out the discrepancies between the typical software project (low cost for mistakes, high tolerance for downtime) and the atypical finance/medicine/aerospace software project (don't screw up or people die). Maybe the specific part of the industry that needs to mature is the _awareness_ of when you cross that boundary, especially within a single organization. The folks working on the internal HR system and the folks working on the high-frequency trading system need to use different procedures (and different levels of funding and different management expectations), and if they're the same folks on different days that might be very far from obvious.
I wish I could disagree, but your point is true. Hopefully soon the python 2 vs 3 disease will be mostly cured, but right now anyone not currently using python3 is unlikely to use bsed given that the value is convenience and simplicity--a value nullified by any install frustrations.
SEEKING WORK | Web Developer | Remote or Miami, FL

Most of what I do these days involves proposing, implementing, and deploying solutions that combine services and technologies on the front end or with a Node.js server.

The languages and frameworks I'm most familiar with are JavaScript, Node.js, React, Python, and Java.

I have five years of experience as a professional software developer.

Please see my Hacker News profile for contact information.
Yes, it basically is illegal to let a non-lawyer give someone feedback. Not literally, but negligent of a company to allow.
IMO that's too late of a condition check. You should keep a margin of free space for OS/Background applications just so you have enough life left in the application to detect and log it.
It’s the result of a language that already had 85% of the tools needed for its domain where the changes in frameworks come down more to preference than anything else.

The same thing happens in PHP world where you have all the tools needed built into the language so most of the frameworks are essentially “arranging stuff”.

In other web frameworks for other languages, you tend to see them creating the actual tools you need to use that language effectively on the web so it’s easier for the community to coalesce around it than whimsically reinventing things every day.

That data may be trash to you but to a sociologist, to an economist, to an epidemiologist, to an anthropologist, to a historian, to a city planner, to a property developer, to an investment firm, to an insurance company, to a kinesiologist and on and on... it's TREASURE.
I find this comment interesting because my experience is the exact opposite. (I won't bore you or tempt the trolls with details) I don't mean to downplay your experience at all. My working theory is that you just think the way the rails devs do and I think the way the Django devs do.

Though admittedly, if you get a lot of requests from one ip and you can't really know if they are legit or not, what would you do?
Pre-IPO means nothing to public investors though.
And where do you draw the line?

Most US based telCos today are based on a government backed monopoly of wireless spectrum and all of them received several billions dollars until last year to improve infrastructure (which none of them did, and had zero consequences)
Assuming you're using well-established technologies, your knowledge doesn't become obsolete as quickly. Not even close.

I can take a Rails developer who stopped using Rails 5 years ago and get them up to speed in less than a week.
From what I could see, the amount of churn in the Javascript world is unsurpassed by anything in software or product, almost to an order of magnitude.

I ended up being a product designer (my main, academic education), a frontend, and a backend with varying levels of expertise in my lifetime, so I have some direct experience.

My current advice as of April 2019 is to keep calm, if you can stay away from JS, do it, if you can't, pick Vue, avoid Webpack, use Typescript, and forget the rest. That should go fine for the next couple years, if you can manage to remove Webpack, even longer.
> Cool, but then you end up with less money overall.

Highly debatable, because in the real world you need to do multivariate optimization and most people can't (don't have the skills and/or desire) to be constantly optimizing their salary. Thus, choosing a company that is actively trying to fairly compensate existing employees tends to pay off in the long, on multiple fronts, not just immediate salary.
The benefits to Cloudflare is they will have more entry/exit nodes on their network(s). While running your own will go through your own server in/out and even then when travelling may only add more latency. Many on here are and have been doing just that all the same.
Not Twilio, but generally you're probably right.
Yep, exactly! Certainly no expert on Japanese, just the only place I saw it written with the マ shape was my android device and jisho, so I assumed it was an error. Learned a new kanji today anyway!
I'm not hugely fond of this specific article; I think the dissection of the SEC filing misunderstands what the accusation is. (Specifically, it's not having the bug, it's the lack of mitigation for large bugs in general.) To me, the "this is not a post-mortem, here's why" part would have stood better on its own.

But I appreciate the writing style, and I've got his site bookmarked for more systems safety reading in the future. It's a slog, but often this sort of ruthlessly-comprehensive breakdown is the best way to understand exactly how a complex thing went awry. Reading them every so often - even for non-software topics like drug treatments - seems to be a good refresher for my own error-analysis skills.
Here're some pictures. When sky is not the limit!!

We're in an exciting transition phase where we need some key people to push our platform into a new and more extensible direction. LendKey is a growth-stage lending technology firm that partners with credit unions and community banks to allow them to offer some of the most borrower-friendly loans in the industry (mostly in student loan / student loan re-fi space). LendKey enables these community financial institutions to bring loans to consumers online, making the end-to-end lending process easy & simple for both borrowers and lenders.

Also just named in American Banker’s ‘Best FinTechs to Work For’ based on employee feedback reflecting our culture.

What we offer:

• Competitive Salary

• Stock options

• Unlimited Vacation Policy

• Flexible work environment

• Startup culture

• Employee events/activities

• Good benefits

We're looking for top tech talent in software, platform, and product areas. What we're seeking in all of these roles: Team-members who are open to learning new technologies. Brave enough to implement solutions to challenging problems. Can be hands-on but also strategic. Willing to speak your mind but kind to others when doing it. For product roles ideally consumer-facing experience, bonus for strong technical skills.

We're Ruby on Rails, Linux, Docker/k8s, and adding Java and Go. We're building microservices on AWS with kubernetes, and are actively pushing towards automated deployments all the way to production.

I'm a technical lead and will answer any questions I can. Shoot me an email at tony (dot) baron at-sign lendkey.com with resume or questions! Don't quite fit and things sound interesting? Let's see if we can work something out, anyway.

Free water (but no plastic bottles!), free coffee and free juice - to keep you hydrated :)

Come and join us, if interested contact by mail and don't forget to attach your CV to: k.volpicelli@list-group.com
My intuition is that it's a function of how many people are doing the type of work you're doing and how fast the environment within which your code runs changes.

Front-end JS is where both of these factor are at their peak - it's often the first stack new developers use, and there are a lot of devs doing it. Add in the speed with which the browser landscape changes and the (relatively) recent expansion of JS onto the server ... and everywhere else ... and you kind of have a perfect storm.

The other extreme is probably something like legacy systems development - like maintaining and expanding banking and financial systems - or embedded environments where the hardware has a long life expectancy and is not easily upgradable.
Raising Money in the Crypto World Has Gotten a Lot Harder
Exactly it’s too soft and allows for inmates to be harassed and assaulted by other inmates, creating prison gangs and things like that. So it hardens the criminals and creates even more problems.. I would prefer the system like the one in Japan, which again is not perfect at all but much better than US system though it’s criticized to be very harsh but has great results and Japan has amongst if not even the lowest crime rate in the world
That's awesome. Is it possible to just exchange the public keys via Cloudflare's website and start using it on whatever client/platform
This analysis doesn't make sense to me. It matters greatly what you do spend your money on. And if you don't spend it, then someone else will (e.g. your bank will loan it out). Are you suggesting attempting to remove value from the economy entirely?
And if you have questions about the sort of work we do, USDS folks will keep an eye on this thread. For example, we recently worked with Veterans Affairs to launch a new va.gov site that makes it easier for Veterans to access their benefits.

We're looking for engineers, product managers, and designers!
I understand, if you got your emotions cross-wired by crooked society, then you can put emotions on hold and rethink logically about what's happening. So stoicism is like a negative imprint of mindfulness, something like a maintenance mode. Mindfulness is about to stay present with both emotional and rational, and not trying to rationalize feelings.

DMN is an ancient part of brain which acts like primitive unconscious task scheduler. When it goes nuts, you binge on substances and reset it, then sober up and feel happy. Something like that.
