SEEKING FREELANCER | Chicago, IL or Remote

Hello!

We are NewClub Golf Society, a group of passionate golfers looking to help make the game as enjoyable as possible. We've built an app to help make booking clubs and tee times quick and easy from your mobile phone, and we're looking to hire a contract developer to help with our next version of the platform.

The main parts of our tech stack are React, Node.js, and MongoDB. We’re looking for ideally 20 hours per week (or more) of availability for the next few months. We're happy to talk to anyone, but we're most interested in finding an additional Node/MongoDB specialist to join our current small development team.

If you or someone you know is interested, please have them reach out to matthew [at] newclub.golf and mark [at] newclub.golf.

More information can be found on our website here: https://www.newclub.golf

Once I heard some gossip about the Triple Nine Society (99.9th IQ percentile). Apparently the members are mostly doomsday preppers and conspiracy believers. Obviously selection bias applies but I found that somewhat thought-provoking.
I have never worked for such an agency, but I actually find value in setting up some of the infrastructure from scratch, at least on the application side. It’s a time to dig into the latest versions of each component, or apply learning you wish you could have on other projects but things got too big to make large architectural changes. It costs a few days, but you’re laying down what should be the forever foundation, that’s worth fully understanding and trusting IMO.

All that being said, rolling AWS infrastructure ad-hoc like this is a terrible experience, but I far less experienced with it. Terraform seems like a great general tool to ease the pain, or something with this project.
I'd like to ask you some more questions about your experience if you wouldn't mind. Email is in my profile (yours isn't listed).
I also don't trust random humans to drill holes in my head.
I have never seen a Twitter mob manage to avoid the use of libelous claims. This begs the question, what could be done to protect people from online mobs? What relief do you think unions could provide?

I think I would actually take dillo with an updated chrome over this: if I am to use two web browsers, I don't necessarily need javascript on both.

dillo lacks a good UI for bookmarks, a browsing history (by choice, but I like those), touch support (for postmarketos/mobile), wayland support, as well as some https quirks. Otherwise, I like it a lot.
If you already have a suspect there is no need to hunt for them.
Very much so. Even with what actually happened, the narrative also could have been that the forecasters and administration were reckless and irresponsible in ignoring the most accurate forecast model and not ordering evacuation they should have. Sure, they got lucky this time thanks to random chance, but do we dare take the risk of having such dangerous science deniers in office? They may not be so lucky next time! Better boot 'em out before it's too late!

Okay I got carried away a bit there. Just goes to show you though, you decide on the spin you want to put on it in advance, and the headlines all but write themselves.

I can imagine a test _suite_ taking hours, but each test should be a small fraction of that surely? And each assertion fails just the test that it's in as tests need to be isolated to be effective?
The article described drivers as walking up and syncing to them to get a job, so they're not always sitting by the phones.
You're probably right, but the advantages of vim in my mind compared to IDE/VSCode/Atom is:

1. Ability to open up any sized file. Anyone who accidentally clicked on a 15mb log file in the directory know what I'm talking about.

2. commands, specifically %s, norm, etc applied over visual mode. norm is particularly powerful when you want to batch edit.

3. macros, the ability to define macros both beforehand, and on the fly is really useful.

4. Availability. Any linux box I ever sshed into has never failed to have vim.

^^ Those are the features that imo are important and won't be available as a vim plugin to other IDEs. People also don't realize how vim has these feature that matches other IDEs.

1. Plugins, the vim plugin world is as rich as other IDEs like vscode.

2. language servers, these can run in the background and provide autocomplete, code smell, e.g. jedi, tsserver-vim.
Take it up :)

I am not sure how much work that would be to maintain it yourself on your particular phone, but it might not be that much? I don't really know, though.
I don’t like this article because it omits some crucial details that could lead readers down a specific path of thinking.

It’s unclear if the inside men, Alzabarah or Abouammo, are living on H-1Bs, full American citizens, or are in the process of immigrating. Depending on the answer to that question, Twitter may need to block the employment of immigrants or citizens to stop this sort of industrial sabotage in the future. Otherwise, every country will try to have their own inside man and Twitter will be forced to overdedicate resources to countering them.

If they’d made his citizenship status clear, the solution would be far clearer to readers.

Thanks Lorenz. Did you have any reliability issue on the machines? We need them to be up and reliable. As you said, the cost seems to be one fifth.

But they're registering hundreds of thousands of accounts. And, I assume, many of those accounts are creating posts. Moderating that many posts doesn't seem like a solution.

We're a YC company on a mission to let anyone create software, by building a no-code app platform.
We want to change the way software is built. That's a pretty big task, and we've got some exciting problems:

.

If you're a PRODUCT-FOCUSED ENGINEER, come and talk to us about how we're building a platform that lets us run rich, flexible apps built without fully code.

You'll be creating a React-based app editor that lets users create software through their browser.

You'll be building a Python-based backend that can connect to any data source, and simulate running complex data processes.

You'll taking ideas from programming language design and turning them into flexible functionality that can be used by non-programmers.

You'll be shipping new modules daily, which are used immediately by our users to make their apps work better and do more.

.

If you're a QA AUTOMATION ENGINEER, come and talk to us about how you can help empower our engineers to create something that Just Works™.

You'll be augmenting and improving our test automation tooling to make it really easy for anyone to test anything.

You'll be helping our engineers work out how to test the difficult things.

You'll be solving our higher-level problem: how to test not just the software we're creating, but the software all our users will be creating too.

.

If you're a MULTI-SKILLED PRODUCT DESIGNER (UI+UX+Product), come and help us design a modular product that empowers non-developers to build the software they need.

You'll be creating a flexible design system that we can be customized by the user and still look great.

You'll be taking common web features like news feed and messaging, and stripping them down to their most pure form so they work in any app.

You'll be designing a set of modules that let non-technical users feel empowered and able to create amazing, innovative apps.

.

If you're a PRODUCT MANAGER who's deeply technical at heart, come and help us make the difficult trade-offs we need to make a system that's both insanely powerful, but still easy for someone with no coding experience.

You'll help to define the future roadmap of our platform.

You'll be working with the team on every individual feature.

You'll be speaking to our users nearly every day to understand their needs – both the features they're asking for, and the ones they're not.

.

We're recently funded, and are a fully remote team, but we get together every few months.

We believe in Radical Transparency, being Empathetic and Kind and Making a Dent in the Universe.

I've FUDded about needing to have exactly the same version on client and server in the past https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23493005 , but this blog post mentions installing from apt and from yum, so maybe the project has figured out back/forwards wire compatibility? That would be huge.
In junior high school, I started reading Doc Savage novels. Originally written in the 1930's, the author, Lester Dent, was originally paid $500 for writing these pulp fiction stores . Bantam Books republished these in the mid-60's.[1] There ended up being over 180 of these Doc Savage novels.

Lester Dent used an outline for these stories to ensure that they would be successful. The outline described when the hero should get in trouble, when there should be a fist-fight, etc. This detailed outline is described in "Lester Dent and the Master Fiction Plot" [2]. Even at a young age I realized the the stories were formulaic, but I enjoyed them anyway.

I broke my ankle a few years ago and ended up with an orthopedic surgeon named Dr. Savage.

Is that even legal? I thought the US or most states at least like most other countries have laws against undermining the ability of employees to organise.

Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariocesar/

Email: mariocesar @ humanzilla.com will send you my complete CV in PDF

I have been working remotely mostly, often for startups and related to web-based projects. 6/10 projects I have been a solo-developer, building from ground doing sysadmin to backend and frontend work. My most recent jobs are related to building ERP/CRM like apps within large teams and Social Network integrations to help community managers.

You can get an idea of my coding skills, by looking at my Github profile https://github.com/mariocesar, I often post code snippets in https://gist.github.com/mariocesar

# What is my top skill?

Django projects. I have been working with Django so many years that I know how to manage myself quickly to start and fully complete a project.

Even I have been working with React.js since their early days and have created big production-ready projects for it, VUE.js is my to-go tool at the moment.

# What are the most recent skills that I'm excited right now?

aiohttp. I have been working doing "real-time" apps with node.js and switching to aiohttp was a production high jump getting back to python to build these apps with aiohttp. I also have enjoyed learning Vue to make large applications. I still enjoy React however, the internals of Vue clicks with me.

# Somethings that made me happy recently?

The growth of my opensource projects and my Recommendations in Linkedin.

And also the response here in HN, the past year I accepted leads and projects here that I was really happy with the type of projects I get. They are interesting, Fun, and a joy to complete.

Lots of bad effects can happen. Imagine you live in a place with one internet provider (most of us) and no cell service. Then imagine that because of something you said, that internet provider cancels your account and doesn't want to work with you anymore. Especially in covid times, that's basically barring you from working.

Or say you live in a small town with one grocery store, and they don't like your BLM tshirt so one day they ban you. Private company, they can do that. But now where do you buy food?

Or your Brand X car breaks down, but Brand X decides they don't want you in any Brand X dealerships anymore, but the problem is your car needs a specific diagnostic tool only available to Brand X dealers.

The examples are endless

Looking for freelance/contracts. 14 years experience.
I agree but there is a thin line. I've seen a lot of really good QA testers slowly start patching issues on their own and grow into proper developers. I think there is a very small window where a QA tester can be the best QA tester he/she can without getting into the developer territory especially if it involves reviewing code.
Why doesn't Amazon do what all monopolies do, lobby the government and cause Regulatory capture to corner the market?

It's easy, spend 100M dollars on a law that makes warehouse labor a mandatory union.

Mom and pop companies can't afford to fill out government/union paperwork for their 3 employees and customers can't go to cheaper alternatives.

But this means Amazon and Amazon employees win.
FYI, this script src isn't going to do much for you. You need to put your measurement ID in there. Also, it's gtag.js. :)

yes absolutely. In my scifi utopia, the government provides a digital identity to each citizen as a social service :)

One of the downsides of this is that it actually degrades privacy by improving private institutions (and the governments) ability to track you.

One way I've thought of to get around this is to allow people to spawn new identities from their own root identity. This could allow a certain amount of anonymity, while allowing institutions to filter identities by requiring a certain amount of social proof (e.g. length of time since identity has been created).

Some services might ban non-root identities (e.g. banks), while others (like a bar) just needs to be able to trust that you have a valid ID and can be used to prove you're over a certain bio age.

In the event that you need to prove you own a specific ID, there could be a way that given a root ID and a non-root ID, you re-generate the non-root ID from the root - thus proving you own it.

> (In fact, the UK only finished paying reparations to slave-owners five years ago, 183 years after it was made illegal.)

That is actually slightly incorrect. The UK borrowed money to pay the reparations to the slave-owners at the time of the abolition. They just finished paying off the loan a few years ago. So the people they were paying all this time was not necessarily the slave owners, but the descendants of the creditors who had loaned the money.

If I can deploy internal apps to Apple devices without getting them notarized, then open source devs can distribute their apps to their users without them being notarized too, no? What is the measurable difference here?
Obviously, open source apps still work today, but they won't soon. macOS will become a lot more like iOS soon.
This article fails to make the point as to why this is a problem. You might as well make an article "Why Google is in trouble - 60,000 employees earned $150k+".

> It's worth remembering that dictators are not inhuman, and they are not so different from us.

I feel the other way around; pouch is pretty rock solid at this point and I've not had trouble throwing data into it or around between pouch installs. Meanwhile every single couchdb server and installation has vastly different limits from each other, from obvious after the fact limits (but would have been nice to know much earlier in architecture planning) such as very limited attachment sizes and very poor attachment upload/download/sync performance, to much less obvious limits that seem incredibly arbitrary and underdocumented such as pouch and localhost Apache Couch 1/2 are very flexible in terms of database and document naming (supporting a large character set and mostly ignoring things), and Couchbase, Cloudant, and Apache Couch 3 all have very different allowed character sets and are differently strict about certain names.

On top of that hosting any of the server applications is increasingly a pain to setup/manage especially from a PaaS approach rather than an IaaS approach. IBM has only done terrible things to make this worse over time. My requirements when I started was I needed to host on Azure, and Cloudant supported that at the time. IBM of course being IBM and focusing entirely on IBM Cloud and its new name/strategy/plan every ~nine months dropped the Azure support I'm still told I need. But the constant name changes (IBM BlueMix, IBM Cloud, whatever it will be next week, IBM WatsonRain or whatever), plan changes, cheese moving, don't give me a lot of confidence in IBM's Cloud efforts even if I wasn't feeling a lot of pressure from my IT colleagues to get everything (back) into Azure. I'm almost desperate enough to build a Pouch driver for CosmosDB myself at this point.
