Am just graduating from a novice to medium level user on vim. Consider myself a medium/novice user of the Bash shell (i.e: without awk/sed knowledge. but with find and grep).
Is it worth switching to zsh at this point for me or can i just wait till i pick up awk/sed for text munging and progess on the shell usage??. I have come across zsh mentioned a few times, and given it a go too, but haven't been convinced/not understood what makes it better.
No, the new terms of service may be intended to prevent other people from copying content, but what matters is what's written in the contract, not what the press release says. What the terms of service actually do is grant Craigslist the same license an author grants a publisher -- you can't grant Random House exclusive rights, then turn around and self-publish electronically.

You may be happy to rely on vague "oh, we don't actually enforce that clause" but some of us prefer not to sign away rights for nothing.
Agreed. The breadth of engineering that goes into a three-year release cycle is staggering. It'll take months for the market to fully digest everything that went in.
Listen, if you want to force me to conduct an exhaustive review of every conflict in human history, you better at least provide something other than your opinion as a counterpoint.
Don't use hover for that. First it is not obvious because it has no affordance and secondly it doesn't work on mobile.

New York, NY, Full Time

Zipmark (http://zipmark.com) is a real time checking payment network. We build mobile and web applications that enable users and businesses to process payments, settle debts, and transfer funds without onerous fees or sequestering funds in stored value accounts ( think Paypal, et al).

We are looking for:

* Full Stack Front-End Engineers: We have a diverse set of problems to solve and accordingly work with many technologies: Javascript, Ruby, JVM, Objective-C, Redis, PostgreSQL, Risk analytics and ML, etc. Currently looking for someone to slot in on to the team with strong front-end skills (Ember application).

* UX/Design: We value designers who can build beautiful applications and can actually do work in this medium. Like a painter or photographer should understand the chemistry of their medium, you should be fluent in the tools of this one. To us that means: HTML5, CSS, JS, Interface Builder, working with templating languages, source control(git), etc.

Interested? Send me a note: jake@zipmark.com

Please, no 3rd party recruiters or outsourcing firms.

Unfortunately this just isn't true.

Consumers are drawn to inferior products (just like they are to junk food and lousy music; and in the personal sphere, to bad lovers / toxic bosses) for a whole lot of bizarre and perverse psychological reasons. But also due to the inexorable power of marketing, in its various guises and generalized forms.

I can see where Brad is getting at, and the lessons are quite valid, for those us attempting to engage ourselves in that minority slice of the global economy concerned with creating services and products or services of actual, intrinsic value -- as opposed to fluff ("experience"), addiction, or outright graft, which are the driving concerns behind the bulk of activity on in modern, post-industrial economies (such as ours) at present.

But if there's one lesson that can be easily drawn from the post-war economic experience -- it's that consumers' decisions are quite often very far from rational or "quality-driven."

They're just as often driven by fear, anxiety, the need to conform. And that's exactly where the magical power of marketing comes in.

Two problems:

1. There isn't a lot of good (in my opinion) touchscreen hardware out there [yet] which can run Windows 8.

2. I do all of my programming and productivity work on a desktop/laptop using software which would likely never benefit from touch UI (e.g. programming and systems administration).

San Francisco, CA. Full time. H1B okay.

With 50% of traffic is now driven by social media, and referrer information increasingly useless with mobile clients and HTTPS, traditional web analytics are no longer working. awe.sm is building full-featured social media conversion tracking and analytics.

Right now and in the medium term, we're providing immediate value to our customers by giving them firm numbers on the ROI of their social media efforts, in terms of dollars, signups, pageviews or any other metric they pick. Our APIs allow app developers to easily integrate social features into their products and easily present the analyzed data back to their own customers, without having to build their own processing clusters and workflows.

Longer term, we want to know what's important on the Internet, and we believe that instrumenting social behaviour is the way to do that.

We're looking for back-end engineers who are interested in learning how to handle large volumes of data for aggregation, geo analysis, and graph analysis, in close to real time. Our stack is mostly PHP and Ruby right now (I know, I know) but we believe in simple parts loosely coupled, and also in picking the right tool for the job, so you genuinely have the power to shape the stack you work on.

We're also looking for front-end developers to continue to build out our GUI, which is a backbone JS app built on top of the same APIs our customers use.

We use an IRC server for team communication and are agile in the sense that we move quickly and react fast, not in the sense of having attended an overpriced training course.

Prismatic Update: Machine Learning on Documents and Users
edit
We've changed it to "custom" pricing for now, and will work on an updated pricing table to better reflect our intention of having an SLA included. Thanks again!

Apologies for the "amateurish" impression, it was actually meant to be a plan that would include the entry level SLA with guaranteed response times. After reading some of the feedback here, it's definitely something we're aiming to fix in the next update. Thank you for your feedback! :)
SEEKING WORK

Location: San Francisco or Remote.

Experience working at all levels of the stack, extremely proficient in Rails development, Node.js, and frontend development. Have written lots of PHP in a past life, but haven't touched it in a few years. Mostly spending my days doing iOS development for my own projects. Feel reasonably good about my iOS skills, but my strengths are definitely in web programming.

Places I've spent time either managing engineers or shipping code: Basis (www.basis.com), Singly (www.singly.com), Rupture/EA (ea.com). Projects I've built either on my own, or with friends: WAYWN (www.waywn.com) & Lifetracker (www.lifetrckr.com).

Seattle, WA - ExtraHop Networks - http://www.extrahop.com/jobs

We do network-based application performance management. That means a customer can understand what's going on in their datacenter without having to deploy a software agent anywhere.

We have several positions open. We're interested in talking with people who enjoy C, TCP/IP networking, systems programming, GPGPU programming, parsing and/or HTML5/JS/CSS programming.

If you want to work at a company with a strong engineering team, founded and run by engineers, this is the place. Send us an email at jobs+hn@extrahop.com.
I don't want to put it badly, but I feel like microsoft is really fumbling this by putting 2 months between the software going into circulation and the hardware it's been designed for launching. I'm about in the market for a new laptop or possibly a surface pro, but I have the feeling this is going to leave a bad taste in people's mouthes as Win8 on nontouch hardware isn't anything special, at least what I've seen with the DP.
They're simply linking to a page related to the topic. It's adding historical context to the "right to bear arms" issue, and that's valuable when debating such a thing.
Pandodaily linkbait. There is nothing new or interesting in this article. It mentions a few of the YC companies in this batch that already launched and recycles various information about them. It wouldn't surprise me if some companies were a bit put off by the description in that article, too.

I guess this year the Top X YC Companies posts start even before demo day...

Funny how I said this was an IFTTT clone a few days back and got downvoted to hell...
That's a good devil's advocate position, but it's easy to counter. For-loops are replaced with maps, folds, and filters more often than recursion, and assigning to a variable is only a primitive because we were brought up that way.

Rather than saying "simple to hard", I'd say "familiar to unfamiliar."
Canvas Networks (USV Funded) is looking for engineers #3 and #4 to join a small close team building the rich-media community platform of the future. Our stack is Python/Django/MySQL/Redis/a whole-lot-of JS/EC2 and our deploy process is "git push" -- if the tests pass on Jenkins the code is automatically deployed, which happens twenty times a day. We're generalists and looking for the same, so it doesn't matter what specific tools you've used before. If you pick things up quickly, if you're always curious, if you're constantly thinking about the next big problem and solution then we're looking for you.

The job title says "Software Developer" but really we're looking for "Software Entrepreneur" or a "Startup Engineer". Shipping a great feature is important, but positively changing user behavior is the ultimate success criteria. Built-to-spec takes a backseat to moves-the-metrics. If you want to build something you can point at and say "I made that happen" then we're looking for you.

Things we'd like to see:

- Strong development fundamentals

- Web development experience

- Python experience is a plus, but not requisite

- Bonus points for experience with EC2, Redis, Javascript, iOS/Android

- Motivated to build stuff

Cinemagram (http://cinemagr.am) is an application for creating awesome hybrids between photos and videos. We are growing fast and are looking for talented individuals to help us bring this new medium to the masses.

Like everyone else we are looking for talented people, more precisely people that are better than us :) We have many needs and I'm not keen on requiring specific skills, as long as you are bright I want to talk to you. Cinemagram heavily uses openGL, does a lot of video processing and computer vision. The challenges are great. We want to use the phone to its limit and the application in its current state is only the beginning.

Note that we also need help with the back-end. If you have experience scaling a massive site or an app, I want to talk to you too :) We need help on the Android front as well.

We haven't made any technical hires yet. It's a great time to join us. You'll have tremendous impact on the product. The pay will be super competitive along with a generous options package.

Feel free to contact me directly : marc@cinemagr.am, looking forward to talking with you!

I wonder what is the processing power needed to make a true-immersive game. I am not sure how the FPS requirements of a large HD monitor translate to the Oculus, but does anybody know if this is something that can be powered by the Tegra 4 ?

If yes, then the next generation of games will be incredible, social and mobile.
New York, NY - Full-time

We're hiring a Ruby/Javascript developer at Curbed Network.

Curbed Network publishes the sites Eater, Curbed and Racked nationally and in local markets all over the US. Our tech team is small, no-bullshit, and productive. Our projects are built with Sinatra, MongoDB, jQuery and Redis.

Why are women such an entitled demographic? Where is the love for programmers who are old? Or black? Or hispanic?
To be fair, those become simpler once you approach things from a constructivist-theoretical point of view. So it's a matter of which you're familiar with. (Dammnit, beaten!)

But I have a big problem with any statement of the form "reasons not to learn X". (Or, for that matter, the idea that imperative and functional styles are two different beasts, and neither the twain shall meet.)
SEEKING FREELANCER:

We're looking for a programmer with experience in RFID to integrate the data collected by various UHF RFID hardware readers into a user interface on the iPad. Knowledge of RFID is obviously a huge bonus.

This job is not just for someone looking to follow precise instructions on code requirements - we're looking for someone to consult with us and guide us through the most efficient path to the goal of the product, as well as executing the development.

Our company is an innovative start-up with plenty of traction. We're revolutionizing inventory management for the jewelry industry, where a single lost product, smaller than your pinky nail, can costs thousands and thousands of dollars.

To the right candidate this project is the first of many. We would like to grow with a skilled outside contractor for many of our upcoming projects.
