SEEKING WORK - Remote

Web app dev (PHP), web design, iOS & Android app dev/design, HTML build and perhaps 8 other things.

Skillz:

* PHP (mainly Codeigniter in recent times)

* HTML / CSS (5/3 respectively if you want hotness, XHTML and RDFa also if you prefer)

* Javascript / jQuery

* Titanium or Phonegap mobile dev

* Nice SEO

* UI/UX to some extent

* Git / Mercurial

Other stuff too numerous for a tidy post, but if it applies to the web I've probably had a go at it at some point.

I've worked on everything from Wordpress blogs to big e-commerce sites (big being relative but think $1m+/month). Also have a couple of new iOS/Android apps coming out shortly. I can see through an entire project from start to finish if required and have a lot of knowledge built up over time on what converts.

In that kind of case, I think the ability to market the thing probably ends up being more valuable than the thing itself. There are probably hundreds of other songs or books that would be big winners if they had that kind of marketing skill behind them, but will remain obscure and worthless (at least in terms of income) due to a lack thereof. I think the person that makes a million dollars off of something like that would probably make a million dollars off of nearly anything that isn't terrible.

EDIT: so you need to be root anyway or have root access to change the date.
I can't speak for everyone, but the reason I choose to use an ORM over writing all my SQL by hand is time and maintenance cost. I can write one SQL query to perform CRUD operations for a model almost as quickly as I could use a ORM. The problem is that it produces 10 times as much code to read and interprete. If I write the SQL code for another model, 90% of that new code is exactly the same as the last. I am bleeding duplication everywhere.
I've actually always slashed my zeros from left to right because my phi's end up being slashed right to left.

>but Haskell is not as practical for use in many use cases

Except that is entirely nonsense. Your misconceptions about the languages in question do not imply a particular amount of usage from other people.

>the others (scala, clojure) are more general purpose

I can't even imagine how one could make such an absurd statement. All that demonstrates is that you have not actually used haskell as you claim, or you only used it 20 years ago.

> My assertion is based on what I know all my peers in the industry to be working on

Which is ridiculous, just like claiming haskell is more widely used than C by only looking at the financial industry.

>This is a horrible* way of assessing industry usage,

It is a poor way, but it is infinitely superior to the "cause I said so" method you are employing. Erlang and haskell rate close together in all of them, so it certainly makes no sense to pretend one is more widely used than the other. Clojure rates miles behind both, and it is equally absurd to pretend it is so far behind in every measure but is actually ahead based on nothing.

"The message here is that if you want to work at a company where people are doing big and important things, you have to give up everything. It’s okay to say that."

No, it isn't.

Yahoo! is certainly not doing 'big and important' things. They are a search engine that can't figure out how to get it's rapidly decreasing market share from rapidly decreasing. And the CEO wants everyone in the company to give up everything - happiness, work life balance, a life outside of search engine work -for that cause.

Unless Yahoo! decides they don't need you all of sudden - you know, if headcount is too high or they decide your department isn't part of the 'goal'. Then they can cut you loose, despite the fact that you gave up everything for them.

So, translation: Yahoo! and other companies want you to give up everything for them, but they will give up nothing.

Deeper translation: Yahoo! is doomed.

Dear Bitino,

I'm a little bit worried. I was saving the URL's (here's one of mine:
http://bitino.com/REMOVED/) to go back to and withdraw my cash
later. The page shows the correct bitcoin balance, but they're not letting
me withdraw! It says I haven't played a game, so even when I go ahead and
play another round, it still says "You haven't played yet!"

Could you fix this ASAP because I actually put a decent amount of money in
this.

Thanks,

Today is a watershed moment for UK developers. I don't think it's hyperbole to say that. In a few years, we will look back on our lives before this day and wonder

a) Why the hell we put up with all that crap for so long.
b) Why didn't we build Stripe ourselves.
Quite a lot depends on when we say the dark ages began / ended. By say 1066 I would say Darkness was lifted, trading and Europe stabilised and by 1200 and Marco Polo Western Europe became fully involved / aware of with the rest of the Eurasia continent.

Taking 1066 as a uk centric cutoff much of the above had either not been invented / rediscovered

Kingdoms and city states - The Roman Duc and knightly organisation of armies appeared before 350, banking was I thought super charged by the crusades. Compasses - Marco Polo, the Mongols, guns - not till what 1300?

I am aware there is always some in Europe knew but it did not benefit most.

So it does depend in definitions (as always). If its the simplistic Romans/bad church/good renaissance then yes I agree with you, but if it is Good Romans/messed up Romans/dark ages/Europe starts to join the world/renaissance
Then I am much happier to argue for a period of 400+ years where development in Europe was largely static and the agrarian based economies just slowly adjusted to lower levels of trade etc, and certainly 450-550 was just a morass of backwards sliding.
It's also not OK to give up everything. This statement makes it seem like it's OK to try to get water from a stone
IXAPI just released beta
IXAPI provides an online service for developers so that they can reduce the amount of work and resources needed to create an application - it may be web or mobile. Using IXAPI, users can create, manage and consume a RESTful API. In many mobile applications, there is the need to buy, setup and administrate a server together with a database where developers create an interface to communicate with it. Using our service, they don't need to do that anymore because we take care of the data.

Developers just have to define the application's objects, the connections between them and they get the API instantly. Moreover, in order to reduce the amount of code written by the developers, the API comes with user profiles with followers system and common user actions such as remember me and reset password, likes system, object time stamping, hit system and file upload.

San Francisco, CA (remote possible) - EasyPost is seeking first hires!

Full Time - Backend and Frontend Engineers

We're a RoR shop that's looking for our first hires. We've been around for six months now, have funding and revenue, and are looking to grow the team. (More about our personal backgrounds on the site - http://geteasypost.com.)

At EasyPost we often receive bad data from our shipping providers. For instance, SuperShipper (carrier's name anonymized for the purpose of this post) may tell us it costs $0 to ship a package from San Francisco to New York. What a steal! Sadly, this isn't the rate that gets charged our customers at the end of the day we, not SuperShipper, look like idiots.

We are interested in how you would solve this problem. Would you ask the user to check back later? Estimate the rate based on given data? Or do something entirely different?

Sound interesting? Shoot us a note at jobs at easypost.co !

This post makes no sense.

Author mentions Facebook's "lockdowns" as evidence that other people are killing remote work. Except lockdowns are highly exceptional events - is asking your employees to stay late in a disaster situation at all like asking them not to telecommute?

> "It’s okay to say that. Sandberg and Mayer are giving up everything, so why can’t they ask that of everyone else?"

I'm going to be frank: because I have several dozen recruiter emails piling up in my inbox, and that's just from the last week. I have people swinging large six-figure paychecks in front of my nose day in, day out, all of whom are doing interesting things. I'd take them all if I could clone myself 100 times over.

That's why you can't ask me to give up everything. Free market, people, it cuts both ways.

You can ask your employees to come to work every day in lederhosen, too. We'll see how far you get with that.

As someone who dislikes remote work, but has no problem with other people doing it, the irksome thing about this topic is that is resembles the vegetarian/omnivore "debate". You can't seem to champion for one side without slamming the other.

Proponents of remote work constantly portray brick-and-mortar offices as stodgy, inflexible, archaic, etc.

Proponents of on-site work constantly portray remote work as lazy, inefficient, and for many reasons inferior.

Can we just accept that people work differently? And that people who subscribe to one way of working aren't out to destroy your way of life?
Actually ng-change is very much same as a $watch.. Here is the relevant source from Angular..

var ngChangeDirective = valueFn({
require: 'ngModel',
link: function(scope, element, attr, ctrl) {
ctrl.$viewChangeListeners.push(function() {
scope.$eval(attr.ngChange);
});
}
});

While hill staffers and other washington movers and shakers were being carpet bombed two years ago during budget negotiations, it was really eye opening how much individual effort was put forth. They were exploiting a flash 0-day that was embedded in various .xlsx .docx and .pdfs - pretty slick as it got them around noscript policies and outside any sandboxes.

The turn around time was crazy - on at least two occasions the workflow went:

recent victim gets first/early copy of policy paper written that day -->
document is taken, translated to a different format and has 0 day inserted -->
emails with exploit are sent to no more than 10-15 people the victim frequently discusses the topics covered in the paper with. -->
Many include personalized notes that include observations the victim had sent to the author -->
Time from initial email receipt to exploits all mailed: around 3 hours

Now that's how you get a 95% open rate.

I think you are conflating two things: What outcomes you are attached to (what triggers your emotions etc.) vs. what you work towards.

It is perfectly possible to work hard towards a goal, including motivating others to do the same, but not be personally attached to the success or failure of the outcome.

I lift weights. I go into the gym every day and try to do better than last time. I struggle with increasing my bench press at the moment. But I still go in and try my hardest and vary my progressions to try to overcome my sticking point.

But I don't leave after a bench session all stressed out over not hitting the next weight up: I'm not attached to the outcome.
Thanks for the advice! I've read some horror stories from back in 08/09, so it's nice to hear something positive.
Right? It is so frustrating that the easiest way to make more money in a company is by getting into the management track- so then you have non-tech experts overseeing projects that require sophisticated knowledge- startups have the benefit of letting experts do both the tech work and the management. But that starts to fall off as companies grow and start considering things like branding, financing, HR etc etc etc.
As long as the person saying it understands that the majority of people already working at said company, and the majority of people who would otherwise be interested no longer will be, I think it's fine.
It's running on their servers! I prefer to have a VM on my side. In terms of security I don't trust third parties. Or saying it in a different way: can I look at their server configurations before acquiring their services?
As an upstream maintainer, I prefer that people contribute rather than maintain their own forks. It just makes it easier for other users; what if they want a feature that's in user A's repository and a feature that's in user B's repository? It's not their job to figure out how to merge them: I do that so they can focus on adding features instead.

But with that in mind, there are plenty of cases where you do need to maintain a proprietary fork: testing new ideas, integrating with internal infrastructure, and so on. This is certainly more difficult than letting someone else maintain the project, but less difficult than being the maintainer yourself. You basically miss out on big refactorings, but it's no different than being a regular user of a library that makes incompatible API changes.
The parts that are still free to do so, like nodes on the Internet, route around them. (Or, if you prefer, "avoid them like the plague.")

I find it interesting reading and often get inspired by his thoughts.

It may seem like a strange motivation to you, but sometimes people say things because they want people to hear them, make things because they want people to look at them and use them, and write things because they want people to read them.

It all depends how you approach it. We recently went away for a week (with our wives) as a development team, locked ourselves in a rural cottage, and built the first iteration of an iPhone app for the site.

We worked normal hours, spent evenings relaxing, and still got a huge amount done in the week because we weren't in the usual environment of having distractions and other things popping up. A great time was had, and because we hadn't spent a weekend coding for 36 hours straight we were fresh and ready to go on Monday morning.
