UK - London - Software Developer

We're looking to get some developers in at Revector. We're a small firm who do services for mobile operators, so we do things with SMS, VoIP etc. Primarily run with Python, with standard servers and databases, but we're doing things with Redis etc as well. Solid existing products, and opportunities to be involved in some new opening right from the start.

I think the job post calls this a graduate position, but we'll happily consider people with more experience as well.

Ideally, it shouldn't need to be more than that. A voting system where you rank, say, five candidates from different parties could support several small parties which are biased against in most current democratic systems.
Assume for a second you're right you still need a cable subscription to view this (you are).

What if the viewing experience on the Xbox is better? Easier access to related clips and content, more interactive features like social interactions or group viewing? An easier to use guide (get rid of your remote and use hand gestures and voice commands to control your viewing). More HD content? (Cable Ops are quickly running out of shared bandwidth for more broadcast channels, this would allow for more HD offerings)

These are the features that the Xbox will offer to enhance the experience over what you'd get viewing on your cable box.
An occasional readchar could be replaced with an occasional read to a signalfd. The problem is blocking calls, you need to not block for too long in case a signal arrives, which is more messy it is true.
I'm guessing they're pretty confident in the number if they've printed it on their shirts.
For the record, I have looked at our first application again and I can see how it left something to be desired. I do think AL is working great for us now and I think hustle can create enough social proof to make things happen. The bar isn't too high, even though it is a barrier. Geography is huge, probably too much. But a few flights can overcome that sometimes.
If I may: Please remove all screenshots of your product from your homepage (or at least try and crop the images so that they focus on one particular thing you know people are looking for). Also get rid half of the text. Then get rid half of what's left. Try to [s|t]ell me a story. In no more than one line of text, explain what this does and why I will love it.

(sorry for being so direct, but that's me)

Now.... I've been looking for a thing like this for ages! When I was building a JS-heavy app I was constantly worried about how people actually see it, what would happen if just one thing went wrong etc etc. At the time I didn't find any tools that "let the user send a screenshot and some feedback, in one click".

If I may ask, how did you do the screenshot thing? It's not "live" (as in the actual HTML/CSS of the page I am viewing) is it?

Bank of America isn't exactly part of Wall Street. When I think of Wall Street, I think of the big (and not so big) investment banks.

While their stocks are(currently)down, and most of these banks are laying off employees, I think the hatred stems from the fact that these investment banks profited from the inflation of the housing bubble, and for the most part walked away clean, despite the fact that their actions were borderline criminal.

edit: Bank of America, is technically involved with investment banking, however that is because they acquired Merrill Lynch during the collapse. Before that, i believe that they were strictly retail.

I know memory is fairly inexpensive these days, but I think 4GiB of RAM is excessive. I did have a 2x1 dual channel kit in my laptop until one of the sticks went bad about a year ago. I never bothered to replace it, and I haven't suffered either. Right now I'm running a browser with several tabs open, a few shells in one terminal emulator, a couple of file manager windows, a PDF viewer, and an editor with a few tabs open (this is about all I typically use when programming), and I'm using around 615MiB-- a little over half-- of my mem and 0MiB of swap. I wouldn't have much to gain from another 3GiB of memory even if it is only a few dollars more.

My understanding is that the relative value of different currencies (what we're talking about here) is a different (but somewhat related) thing to inflation within a currency. But yeah, in this case, a stronger yuan would cause prices of Chinese manufactured goods sold in the US to rise. So yeah, that'd contribute to inflation, but my understanding is that significant long-term inflation is... difficult without wage inflation, so it'd probably be more like the commodity inflation we've experienced, where prices went way up then stayed flat or came back down; they didn't keep going up.

Of course, /if/ policymakers get their way and more manufacturing jobs are moved back to the US, in the best case that could cause demand for unskilled workers to rise, and maybe we'd see some wage inflation; but that sounds ridiculously over optimistic to me. We have a lot of 'discouraged workers' on the sidelines who will come back if they think they have a chance at a job.
Turkey has grown strongly lately, but GDP/Capita is still 1/3 of Greece and 1/5 of Germany. I wish them all the best, but they are still a quite poor country. (and if you look at stuff like the acceptance of evolution (extremely low), an argument could be made that they are quite backwards too)

Didn't vote since there isn't a "maybe" option. It will depend on how well Siri deals with my 'deaf' accent.

One of my coworkers is planning to upgrade to the 4S from the 4, so when he gets it I'll probably get a chance to see how well it deals with that.

The easy reminders and ability to dictate text messages while driving are very appealing, though, and would get me to consider it.

Is Steve Ballmer Underpaid?
I'm one of those people who might be perceived as "crawling" against the "More" link.

I use a Firefox extension to pull the next 10 pages, inline. I then convert all the links to open in new tabs. I'll slowly work my way through the resulting Frankenpage.

When I first started doing this, I only pulled 5 pages, sometimes waiting a bit to then pull 5 more/deeper. I was worried about excessive use -- including triggering whatever blocking you have in place. Eventually, I tried 10 at once. I've found that 10 is about as deep as I want to go into the recent history and keeps me fairly current with daily browsing.

I hope this use isn't considered excessive. It's run just once or twice in a day, and the results are simply for personal consumption.

As I (somewhat vaguely) recall, I began doing this when and because a change made the "More" links expire more -- as in, rather -- quickly. That was a time when you were working to keep HN from bogging down and choking on its memory usage. I wanted to see a few pages into the history without a bunch of overlap and having to start over from the first page; and pulling the subsequent pages all at once worked well for me as a solution.

I'll have a look at the revised RSS feed.
This effort to close the remaining 30% will make the primacy of social proof and popularity over team/product/traction/revenue/earnings even more powerful on AngelList.

It sounds like there is a fantastic opening here for other people in the angel/vc community to take on the task of being a gatekeeper or "talent scout" of sorts for excellent businesses who don't already have the requisite social proof.
I would disagree, the article never said do away with server side security or anything like that. I don't think it said anything about ditching URIs either.

Thanks Nivi. My post is meant less as a criticism and more as a fundraising how-to for others like us. I think the changes you are making are good.
Sure you may rudasn. I agree w/ your feedback on the screenshots. Will get the needful done.

The screenshot feature is as live as it gets. We post the HTML/CSS to our servers in realtime and generate the screenshot for you.

Now, if I may - when do you plan to WebEngage on your sites? :)
Followup to what rudasn said...

Part of the reason that the text seems so overwhelming is because it isn't well organized. To improve it visually, consider:

1. Increasing the line-height to 1.5 or so for the text to breath.

2. Decreasing the width that any given bit of text spans. 60-70 characters is a good width.

Take a look at http://basecamphq.com/ for examples of both.
It seems like if you wait long enough the gears start moving. On Chrome I just saw the closed aperture for several minutes and gave up, on FF I saw the arm and pendulum moving but that's all, 'til I came back several minutes later and the gears were moving. Haven't been able to get that "gear moving" effect again tho. I think file-size/load-time is actually a problem in this case, even as an art piece, as it's taking so long to load I'm not even seeing the art.

A couple other things: the apple clock is using javascript as well, not just css3 (tho they could if they tried). This one... I didn't dig far enough to see if it's used anywhere in the clock but the hands and pendulum are just css. Remember kids, html + css + javascript != "CSS3" :)

Further, HTML5 is nice but it's being used pointlessly here:
<article class="layer zero">
<div class="blurred gear one"></div>
<div class="blurred gear two medium reverse"></div>
<div class="blurred gear three large"></div>
</article>
This is an "article?" HTML5 to add semantic meaning is good, using it for no reason... I don't see the point. Overall, KUDOS to the designer/developer! Extremely impressive regardless of any of this.
This isn't meant to be sarcastic or condescending, but isn't programming at it's fundamentals math and logic? Those are taught early on.

I mean, I worked with Logo in 6th grade. So I'm really not sure what else you would teach that is different.

Disagree.

Web apps can be cached locally. Web apps can run in PhoneGap or Prism and have access to your desktop. Sure, they aren't for everything. But having a common platform of HTML and Javascript and CSS is actually pretty great, especially for hiring purposes!

The native bindings can be extended either using drop-in plugins or by hiring native developers to do really well defined tasks. Which once again is good news for both stability, speed of development, and hiring.

This post makes it seem easy, I've met Matt in person, here's what is not very well pronounced in the article:

1. Matt is an amazing speaker, in person he is captivating when he discusses StormPulse.

2. He has been iterating on the idea for 3-4 years now? He actually launched it on HN IIRC.

3. His customer development skills are NO f*%kin' JOKE - he has been becoming intimate with his customers needs for a good while now.

4. He is very approachable, there are many people that you get a weird vibe from & may feel like you don't have their full attention - Matt is not one of them.

So basically - this is less of a hack & more of a culmination of years of hard work!
This fairly reeks of awesome. If the ones I don't recognize are as great as the ones I do, I'd say you have a damn fine site there!
By the way, did anyone else notice that the pendulum completes a cycle every 1.3 seconds? Am I wrong or would this make your clock run very slowly?

/me goes back to critiquing the physics of minecraft. :p
That's one criteria, but I've found I'm just more productive using E because it mostly gets out of your way. It also looks good and it's a lot faster, even on modern hardware, than GNOME 3 or KDE or Unity. It finally comes with a basic compositing manager module and a 'scale windows' plugin for Expose like effects, although I don't really need to use it much since its pager window has minimized icons that give me visual cues as to where I put certain apps. It's not a whole DE, and I do run gnome-settings-daemon in the background and use Nautilus or PCManFM to browse files and such, but I keep going back to it and I've been using it since 2005.
Shouldn't that page say to whom I am giving money?

I think it's a nice concept. People will perhaps be more inclined to give if there was some sort of feedback mechanism. Something that will tell a complete stranger that the guy who was an ipod shuffle for his birthday deserves my $5. Perhaps if I knew that this guy gave $10 to someone else last week for a school textbook? Just thinking out loud.

I wouldn't call it a hack so much as learning to sell to your market. Just like showing you that Tide will take the stains out of your clothes better than the next detergent, or that Bud beer will help you attract women, whatever. In this case your market is VC's and your product is your company, you finally started pushing their buttons.

That happens pretty commonly even in a traditional view of debt, though the dividing line for whether the lender or lendee is more to blame varies. At one extreme, if you lend money to an alcoholic who's well known for not paying back his loans, and he spends it on alcohol and doesn't pay you back, not too many people will be sympathetic to you for making an obviously-stupid loan. In fact they might blame you for enabling bad behavior in an entirely predictable way. And if you lend so much money that his failure to repay puts you in risk of going bankrupt yourself, then people will really think you're irresponsible...

difficulty in layout

It doesn't have to be hard. I'm currently using Backbone in a project. I added OpenStep/Cocoa's autoresizing masks to Backbone.View and now layout is a breeze. The CSS layout model actually lends itself really well to this if you're willing to use JS to do the calculations.
While what you're saying about CPUs is correct, that is not the main battery hog in smartphones (additionally why Apple is staying so far from LTE at the moment)

The biggest demon is by FAR the radios. The amount apps and the phone use that is mostly determined 1> by how much the user wants notifications (which are basically implemented by constant polling, even in background notifications), or 2> how network intensive the apps are that a person is using. Additionally, stuff like having bad connections to your cell provider make the radio receiver power have to be turned up (as well as broadcast, but the receiver is the worst part usually), and constantly using bluetooth will kill you as well. The bad thing about the radios, especially if you have stuff like lots of apps doing push notifications, as well as a fast polling interval for your mail, is that you're doing this even when the phone is in your pocket.

Second to the radios is technically another radio, but people only do 1 way comms with it and don't really think of it as a radio: THE GPS SYSTEM. Apple vastly improved this (it used to pretty much leave the system on, now it pulses it on and off unless your app requires the older mode for some reason, such as Navigon type turn by turn navigation). Again, this is a part of the phone that optimization did help with (as often time the GPS radio doesn't come on if the phone can figure out your location from other mechanisms), but still, you're generally speaking going to see most GPS heavy apps running while the user is using them. Sure driving faster will get the phone in their pocket faster, but I'm not sure an added hour of battery life is worth unsafe driving.

I'm not saying graphics and the like don't eat up huge chunks of power, I'm just saying that a vast majority of people eat most of their power on much more pedestrian things than Infinity Blade.
good point, but that doesn't actually look any better:

Sometimes it seems to me like many people are betting the farm on getting funded without already being in the coveted position of having prior successes which will (mostly) guarantee them their funding. I tend to think it's best to operate as though you're not going to get funded. Build/bootstrap a sustainable business (i.e. build something useful that people want and charge money for it), make it successful and leverage that to build a bigger idea. If along the way you get to accelerate the process through funding, fantastic, but without it, you've still built something successful and can then fund your own next idea, or potentially use your success as proof of the fact that you're a lower risk when it comes to funding.

This is different though. Plenty of people have used Siri. The new version adds a few Apple app based intents, but we have been able to use what was essentially a beta of Siri for years.
