Trade Me | Senior Android Developer | Full-time | ONSITE | VISA | Wellington, New Zealand |

Trade Me is an online used and new goods marketplace. It's like the New Zealand version of eBay or Amazon. Our Android app is one of the most popular apps in NZ, updated fortnightly with hundreds of thousands of daily users.

The role is based in Wellington, the "coolest little capital in the world." See the promotional website: https://www.wellingtonnz.com/discover/

Wellington is a small city with a big heart. There is a strong coffee culture and some of NZ's most beautiful scenery is nearby.

All our new code is in Kotlin and we use MVI for our new features. We use Android architecture components and dagger-android.

There are lots of opportunities for growth in the company and interaction with more than ten other Android developers in a guild.

Autonomy is important for us so in our squad you will get a chance to have your say in the direction of the products we develop. There is also the leisure to refactor and work on open source if you so desire. Limited work from home may be a possibility in the future but you would have to be based in Wellington.

I'm active on Stack Overflow so please check out my questions and answers to see if you agree with some of my philosophy ;-)

Shouldn't the supreme court specifically _not_ ask any other branch if they should review a case? Isn't that the point of independent branches of government?
The media likes to associate the ACA with Obama, who was at least nominally on the left. This conveniently covered up the fact that the ACA was based on Romneycare, a vehicle from the neoliberal "center" designed to prevent truly disruptive reform.

The ACA was a stalling tactic, and it has been rather successful in that role. People are starting to see through the ruse though.

Oh. That makes much more sense! Thanks for the clarification.

He wants a way out of Tesla being a publicly listed company. If you had listened to him as much as you want to think you have you’d know his stress is due to obligations to shareholders and effectively working with one hand tied behind his back because as far as the board is concerned shareholder value is more important than anything else.
It's a case of both. Japan is incredibly safe, no questions about that. At the same time they have a very severe problem with managing expectations and facing the sometimes inevitable less than perfect results of reality.

Mercurial. Same idea, better interface.
This seems likely. They began piling on sponsorships when the game became feature-complete and since then the only significant changes have been additional micro-transactions. There is little left to squeeze out of Psyonix in terms of innovation. The acquisition will help drag Steam users kicking and screaming into the Epic Store.
One thing I didn't get a clear answer from the doctor about last time I saw one was this.

Can you unclog your arteries by changing your lifestyle, ie diet and exercise, or is the clogging permanent?
Yes. Here's a list of the proscribed organisations: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/proscribed-terror...

There are groups that are to be treated as if they are National Action:

> Note: The Government laid an Order in September 2017 which provides that “Scottish Dawn”and “NS131 (National Socialist Anti-Capitalist Action)” should be treated as alternativenames for the organisation which is already proscribed as National Action.

For people who don't know who national action are, they're linked to the death of one MP and the planning of the murder of other MPs.

I think of the criminal case years and years ago where someone was arrested with a large sum of cash, and they asserted it was drug money because cocaine was found on the bills.

The defending lawyer just took a random sample of money from circulation and found the same thing.

https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-11-13-me-62172-...

and if you look further, even ATMs get in on the game, by spreading it on other bills that pass through the mechanisms:

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/cocaine-on-money/

So by the same token, I wonder how many ways the samples can be contaminated, the obvious one being someone touches money first.
People who think like me by not wanting discrimination based on race? You'll need to find a reference for your claim because it seems obviously wrong.

I can think of two ways you might justify your view:

A) By assuming that every member of a class has the same characteristics as the class average. This overlooks the existence of privileged wealthy gay black female from Portland who grew up being glorified as a precious minority and of disadvantaged poor straight white males from Appalachia who were abused as children and taught by their whole society that they weren't meant to be successful. You want to give extra advantage to the already-advantaged person because different individuals in her class are disadvantaged.

B) Class-based revenge. You accept that individuals are different from their class averages, but it's OK to push some disadvantaged people down and lift advantaged people up as long as it's consistent with your view of which class should be punished for their collective situation. This option seems more realistic because it's not factually wrong like A), and it's consistent with your reference to the millennia of opportunities. There's nothing anybody can do to change the thousands of years of now-dead people so their advantages should have no bearing on what happens today. But you still mentioned them. Maybe you want to correct the balance between classes by putting the advantage in the other direction for another few millennia, under the assumption that two wrongs make a right.

You chose race, sex, and sexuality as your classes because that's what your culture told you it's OK to discriminate on. You didn't chose history of psychological abuse, mental illness, wealth, intelligence, having powerful friends, quality of parenting, chronic pain, height, physical attractiveness, or any of the other ways that people have different advantages to each other. You don't care about real people with real differences, and only care about the classes that your culture has told you are important. Have you asked yourself why race is more important to you than intelligence or age, which have much more consistent and severe histories of discrimination?

> Pretending like less qualified people are being let in, and the straight white males are being denied despite being just as good is a complete lie.

Harvard is being sued for racial discrimination. Though the lawsuit is about Asians, whites suffer similar though less severe discrimination: https://www.npr.org/2018/11/02/660734399/harvard-discriminat...
Sweden disallows extradition for political reasons. If, after fleeing to the UK, he'd agreed to be extradited back to Sweden then both the UK and Sweden would have to agree to any extradition request, which would have been a far better situation then the UK alone.

Instead he ran from the UK authorities too. So it seems that Assange didn't have your faith in the UK. Either that or he was fleeing Sweden and not the US.
I'd buy one but the design is too ugly :(

Is what Epic Games doing with their exclusivity deals legal? It's one thing if they pay a developer to exclusively release on their store, but they are paying developers not to release on Steam, even though it's fine for them to put their game on other stores, like the Windows Store, Humble Bundle, etc. That seems super non-competitive, like if Google paid Microsoft to prevent users from installing Firefox, even if though there aren't any technical limitations preventing it.
Cannot this vulnerability be exploited by creating a free wi-fi access point, opening a captive portal on user's device and attacking them from there? Another option is to wait until the victim requests something with HTTP (some ad networks still use it) and inject the payload into the traffic.
Sadly, no amount of testing can help protect against unexpected changes in browser versions that don't exist yet.

The best you can do is test the nightly or beta track all the time (if they have one). But that may have false positives due to bugs on their end. And once you notice the bug, you still have to fix it. This isn't something to drop everything for like a security bug, so it may have to wait on other things.

Meanwhile, people outside the company will assume it's intentional sabotage, because that's how the Internet thinks these days.
The sane thing would have been to not use a HTTP server at all. This part is pure laziness. It is trivial to communicate with a Windows service locally through named pipes.
I'm a linux user and EGS has no linux option. If they do pull the game from Steam, I can no longer play.

Does it matter how much I paid or how many hours I have played? If I pay for a game, I'm sorry if I feel "entitled" to play it.
As the ERS uses motors to regenerate power and assist braking this would probably just be a few lines of code these days. Although ABS not allowed, I think they can use ERS for yaw control under braking (if not someone can correct me?)
Glad I wiped my XPS and put Ubuntu on it.
> Hopefully the beatings will continue until Valve stops taxing game developers so hard.

87.5% of Steam's sales in Asia are from over 90 non-standard payment methods (outside of Visa, MasterCard, American Express, PayPal, PaySafe), and Steam Retail Cards cost Valve 10-15% of the sale. Epic either just don't support them, or charge the customer extra. I don't think it's fair to say Valve are "taxing game developers so hard".

That isn't remotely what I said. Though, in fact, some homeless people do frame it that way.

In any outcome, there is some part that is beyond one's control and some part that is choice. Most homeless people wish they had better options, but some "choose" homelessness as the lesser evil.

Having skills, like survival skills, can make sleeping rough or in a tent that much less problematic and intimidating.
Side Projects Delayed Indefinitely
I am a software developer for a large software company. This is my second software job post-college. A few months ago, after more than six months at the new company, I submitted a disclosure for a web app I was working on on my own time. It was reviewed and approved by legal, but my team manager would not approve it, and said off the books through my project lead that I should wait a few more months before even asking approval for any side projects, effectively making me unable to publish any technical side projects or websites for my first year or more at this at this company, regardless of competition. When I revisited it recently, I still was not given a guarantee that further projects would be approved after the waiting period, and that when I disclosed I would still have to "justify [to my team manager] why these projects are beneficial to the team." No automatic approval of any projects by my manager, even after a year waiting period and no issue from legal. Word is that other managers at my company wave through side project requests with little concern. What should I do?

TL;DR After a year at my second software job, my manager is using his position to indefinitely prevent me from doing any projects on my own time, regardless of legal's stance. I'm told this is not the norm of other managers at my company.

I have a secret theory from seeing this at a few companies by now; I think that it’s nearly critical to deploying complex / cloud-based stacks. There’s so much unique infrastructure to production that at some point you need a few people at least with engineering / ops expertise who can be the unblocker for getting something seeded or whatever. I’ve seen this either done explicitly or through a slow burn of acquiring grants over time which just never get revoked. But now I’m curious seeing it elsewhere if this is just a common and sort of necessary thing that happens.

I just implied it is different because the industry was so young, it is solidified now, thus resembling other industries. (i.e. in the corporate world the hierarchies in big tech now resemble the hierarchies in big [insert any other industry])
You have conflated a shareholder vote with a statutory requirement here. This is a decision driven by the shareholders and not a governing body. I agree that the statutes should be equitably applied across all businesses, but it is a non-sequitur in this case since this seems to be an internal business matter.

Food courts have really suffered from the mentality of corporate mall management; contracts with large chains of even 2nd or 3rd tier fast-food operations are preferred over local options and small operations.

This make the B2B stuff easier, as many malls are owned my massive groups that run even dozens of malls - and they can make a contract with a large franchise operation to cover many/all of them (or a restaurant group that can provide different options). They also don't have to worry about risk on the rent much.

What was your diet before? Anecdotally, most people I know who felt better after going keto-ish had horrible diets to begin with. Dramatic reduction in processed foods, beer, HFCS, etc.

Simply preparing food at home with fresher ingredients and being conscious of what you're taking in can account for much of the gains they experienced.

The vast majority of people on the planet don't eat 90% meat diets, but if we did it would be a disaster! I'm not saying it isn't the case with you, but anyone who experienced amazing gains shifting their diet to mostly meat should consider survivorship bias, and that the benefits are from cutting other things out, not adding tons of animal protein in.

TalkJS | REMOTE (Europe) or ONSITE (Eindhoven, Netherlands) | https://talkjs.com

TalkJS lets developers build custom chat features in hours instead of months. We're product driven and we power communication inside online marketplaces, community sites, trading platforms and so on.

⠀

-- HEAD OF SALES --

Demand for TalkJS is quickly increasing to the point that we have more leads than we can manage. This means that now is the time to double down on sales, so we're looking to make our first dedicated sales hire.

We're looking for someone who:

* Loves tech
* Has demonstrable experience selling technology B2B
* Wants to jump on a rocket ship that's just taking off²

We offer you an opportunity to start, build, and lead our sales team as we grow. Significant equity is on the table, as well as the chance to work in a great collaborative, open and constructive distributed team culture.

Read more & apply via https://talkjs.com/jobs/

²) I'm well aware that this is a platitude, but in our case it's really quite true and it wasn't half a year ago. We're blowing up and we need your help :-)

⠀

-- MOBILE DEVELOPER WHO LOVES API DESIGN --

TalkJS is currently focused on the web and that's just not good enough. Easy to use APIs and SDKs are the key to our success on the web, and we're looking to do this natively on mobile as well. We could use your help with that.

If you're an experienced developer who's good at coming up with Java and Swift APIs that Android/iOS devs love to use, then get in touch. We don't have the job opening published yet, so just email to hey@talkjs.com. Bonus points if you can show us an API you designed (on any platform).

Like the sales job, this is remote (Europe) or on-site in Eindhoven, NL.

This was my thought. They are an equal branch of government. They have no business asking the legislative or executive for guidance. Their purpose is to decide cases like this.
Stop defending these companies. You are entitled to ownership of something you paid for. It’s not a one-time lease agreement no matter what the software companies want you to think.

I'm cautiously optimistic about this. I've played Rocket League for a long time and I think it's an incredible opportunity for esports. It's exciting, extremely fast-paced, the meta is easy to understand for traditional sports fans, and the skill curve is more forgiving at the lower tier than many games.

If Epic can use its reach and resources to promote larger tournaments and higher stakes for Rocket League as an esport, I think that'd be a win for the game.

If they overrun it with more loot crate/f2p stuff and make the game all about the meta, and just use it as an exclusive for their own platform, that will suck.

Congrats to the Psyonix team though. They seem like genuinely great, passionate devs.
A lot of the legacy projects at my company are still being hosted on an active Subversion server. Even some of our newer projects are still using it. It's alive and well here.
