SEEKING WORK - Remote or NYC

Background is in the data science side of things but I've been developing web products for the past two years - namely my two startups: http://getpressi.com/dan and https://makersalley.com/

They're taking a bit longer to pay the bills than I'd hoped (welcome to startups) so I'm looking to pick up a 10-20 hours a week of consulting work.

Web: http://dangoldin.com/

GitHub: https://github.com/dangoldin

Primarily work in Python, Django, R, jQuery. Spent years writing all sorts of queries in PostgreSQL and MySQL.
Just because it hasn't happened yet is not a reason not to do something. A tornado hasn't wiped out my house yet, should I move because it might happen some day? Of course there is a risk associated with their use, but the estimated risk is miniscule. It's not even measurable yet. Let's worry about problems we can identify and solve rather than wasting time fretting about what may be.

This is funny. After using Angularjs at the recent techcrunch disrupt ny hackathon, I was mulling over writing a post that said Angularjs is not good for hackathons! To be clear, I am a newbie and am very impressed with Angularjs. That said, debugging Angularjs for a newbie is a nightmare. It was very brittle in our experience. Likely, this is because both my hackathon colleague and myself had less than a week's experience with Angularjs. We found that it was easy to find simple examples online, going to an actual app was VERY non-trivial.

"...it is much better to show them the features through screenshots on the page."

I actually appreciated that he gave a concise description of the product and its features up front, before I invested time in looking at screenshots.

It might be the design imperative du jour, but too many of the cookie-cutter Bootstrap pages we're seeing are horribly conceived in terms of UX. If the page requires that I scroll endlessly through pages and pages of screenshots and text just to get a basic understanding of the product and get introduced to its feature set, that's too much friction.

Ask HN: Going beyond CRUD?
I was reading through the comments on the "I'm stupid" post, and noticed how someone mentioned that the majority of social applications are simply CRUD apps. My question is how does one go beyond that? I understand curating content is a possibility but succesfully pulling that off generally requires a dataset of some sort to start off. What possibilities exist other than data mining?
I would think these CEOs are gods of some sort judging by the kind of money they get compared to the lowly every-day employee of the company. Did Yahoo's earnings even justify that sort of salary? "Yahoo's shares have risen 24 percent since the start of the year..." I guess...maybe?

But how much of that stock increase is based on judgments of her abilities, rather than on "HEY new shiny ceo we all win big now!"
Pitchup.com - London, UK
http://www.pitchup.com

We’re looking for an ambitious developer to join our team to help us manage our current site and tackle tough online booking, search and geo challenges.

With only 30% of UK campsites and caravan parks available to book online, you'll be solving a problem that will benefit millions of users and thousands of campsite owners. You’ll employ the latest techniques to maintain and enhance the fast, frictionless search and booking process that Pitchup.com’s customers love.

You'll be expert in Python, with knowledge of at least one Python web framework and ideally GeoDjango experience, and good PostgreSQL experience. Very strong JavaScript skills, familiarity with nginx server environments and willingness to undertake sysadmin work are highly desirable.

…and you'll probably enjoy working with us if you're:

- A fan of agile working practices – gets things done
- A quick-on-the-uptake problem solver
- Someone who enjoys coming up with new feature ideas
- Backend stack: Python / Django / Postgres / Celery / nginx / S3 / Redis

Some remote working is possible, and some on-call evenings and weekends will be required.

Environment

-----------------

We're all about collaboration – you'll take part in regular brainstorms as the company grows rapidly over coming months. You'll gain direct experience of the rapid evolution of a high-profile start-up, working alongside other experts in their fields, in an apolitical, friendly environment.

Apply on our jobs (http://www.pitchup.com/jobs/) page and your application will come straight through to me.
It really matters what field you are in. The more traditional fields will absolutely need a Resume/CV.
Same goes for you. You're asking that we have some science to back up the claim that it isn't harmful, I haven't seen any evidence provided that it is harmful. No one has been able to show deleterious effects from the use of ionophores or tetracycline in feed, which I'm willing to take as a negative proof that their use is acceptable.

Everyone means the Java applet runtime, not the JVM itself.

Both Sun and Oracle fucked up on the naming.
Take a look at the security record of both in browser plugin scenarios and get back to us on that...

While Java admittedly has a solid underlying core, the criticism is for the entire platform, which has some significant problems, some technical, some security, and many organizational.
Along the same lines, Chrome (maybe just webkit generally) does not fire DOMContentLoaded until external script requests have resolved or timed out, even if they are async.

Also, I don't understand why people feel so strongly about reposting this "document.write" method everywhere, which I found in some cases made my page disappear at load time. You can do the same thing using regular DOM methods, and you get more control over the process.
If this were just a good article about Mongo, sure, that's fair. But I don't think "fair" can be stretched all the way to "let's not be critical of biased comparisons simply because we expect the source to be biased."
What a sexist, racist piece of garbage... oh wait... white... men.... carry on.
Umm .., no .. if you have a large number of tables and need ACID compliance, I've found ORMs to be horrid. They hide a lot of details, which cause massive performance headaches later on.

I just noticed you said almost. Maybe this is the exceptional case you were thinking of :)
I think Storyboard is a massively useful feature that has some crippling long term limitations depending on what you're building, but using it for design prototypes is a good thing. If you're using a Storyboard prototype at least you know the designer has worked within the constraints (ish) of what is doable, and then you can build from there, and gives you a nice run on what you want to do in terms of visual cues.

Great app! I use everything from textmate to vim for taking notes on mac.

Looking forward to the sync feature. It will be helpful if the app allows for creation of protected notes (I currently use encrypted text files `vim -x` to create/store things like card info etc)
The market for executive talent is if anything even more broken than that for programmers. It's best always to remember that the rates for these people are set by a backscratching cabal of similarly Peter principled dolts.

Shopify - Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal

http://shopify.com/careers

Shopify is looking to grow the team responsible for building the future of Shopify. We’re in search of back-end developers with a passion for solving hard problems with performant code. If you are interested in creating great products, building new features and improving the existing Shopify features, then please apply!

Developing Shopify

Shopify is the longest continuously developed Rails app on the planet and we care a great deal about code quality. Shopify, in contrast to most other rails shops, always runs on the latest rails version. Many core rails features have been developed within Shopify and have later been added to the Rails framework. We often go back and improve core parts of the Shopify codebase to make it better or more lean. We can do this because we have a positively massive unit test coverage which will immediately sound the alarm when something goes wrong.

We ship on quality instead of on time. When a feature is ready we deploy it immediately to everyone or use an internal system to roll it out to a certain percentage of customers. Various teams deploy new code many times throughout the day.

Shopify's production scale is massive. We host tens of thousands of online stores and regularly see hundreds of millions of requests a day. When you push out new code tons of people will see what you made within seconds. Operating on this level is hard but incredibly rewarding.

Responsibilities:

* Write back-end code in Ruby and Go.

* Work with a world class design and product team.

* Providing beautiful and fast code that improves the code-base of our products in meaningful ways.

* Use TDD to write rock-solid code, utilizing our huge test suite to make changes with confidence.

* Rapidly fix bugs or take your time to solve hard problems well.

* Deploy code to hundreds of servers and tens of thousands of customers in your first week.

* Never stop learning. Shopify is an environment of constant personal growth.

Qualifications and Desired Skills:

* Know Rails or be ready to learn it quickly.

* Proficiency with UNIX commands.

* Knowledge of relational databases and SQL, we use MySQL.

* Strong commitment to quality.

* Experience building and scaling user-focused web application.

* Being awesome and having a love for Shopify - Major Plus!

It's probably not worth it for the $100 or so advertising would bring in. I'd focus on using your site to build your personal brand, use it to drive subscribers to your twitter, facebook, etc. pages.

Also consider setting up a mailing list which you use to periodically send out updates on interesting things you're working on.

That way onces you have something you want to promote (be it a book, website, event, etc.) you'll have a solid following to which you can promote it.

Looks like a nice app, congrats.
Q: What are your thoughts about how similar it looks to iaWriter?
(http://www.iawriter.com/mac/)
e.g. right down to the blue color of the cursor bar ... and not to mention the website itself (load the two side by side and have a look)
My point is that "regulation" isn't a monotonous scale from "more/better" to "less/worse". The quote and link does not at all answer my questions; what regulations did he work for as a lobbyist, and why?

Industry incumbents frequently use lobbyists to create regulation to raise the bar to entry in their field, cementing their own position and stifling competition - creating the kinds of complacent mono/doupolies that we know so well from cable companies and ISPs.
Sure, but how can this game be successful when the toolbar is active / dominant in the browser only for a couple of days until the user downloads yet another crapware bundle?
This looks very similar to iA Writer: http://www.iawriter.com/mac/
Love it. I don't know if its any better than Byword, iA Writer, Mou or Notational Velocity (Still my absolute favorite). But I do like the interface and reminders feature. When I write, I like to keep my fingers on the keyboard so it would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut for displaying the note's details instead of clicking on the top right of the app. Also, how about an alternative dark interface for those of us that prefer writing during the night?

> First off, the Flash updater on Windows works quite well on modern Windows systems.

Speak for yourself; I only ever see it on system startup. I only reboot once every few months (and it doesn't respond to waking up from standby), but there's a new Adobe security panic every two weeks or so, so that's not really acceptable.
Plus it opens as a pop-under window for some reason, so I'm generally unaware of it until I've opened a browser, which I'll then have to close and reopen.

The 'stealing revenue' argument is definitely valid, but in Adobe's case it's such a hateful method that I can't sympathize at all.
Ninite Updater Pro is for SysAdmins, not the normal casual user - it allows for silent and remote install.

I would be interested to know how you propose using Adobe flash updater to push out a critical security patch to 10k + enterprise users.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean. There are certainly larger companies than Mutually Human. If one wanted to work for a large company, I'm sure many will post in this thread… :)

However...

- I'm learning new things all the time, at a faster pace than anywhere else I've worked. The company is very focused on everyone's growth.

- I actually have time for my family, personal projects, friends, etc, as we really do keep our hours reasonable.

- We have happy clients who love our work and are willing to pay well for it.
I'd like to believe Chrome* users are usually up to date on version numbers. We could update the library cache on a different schedule from browser updates. Finally, we could fall back to a CDN (with further fall back to your own server?) if the server requests jQuery 2.0.1 and the browser says sorry, best I can do is 2.0.0.

My fear was more on the server-side. Can we accomplish this without further butchering the head from the standard? I can't see all browsers adopting this or it becoming a standard without a major sponsor. And like someone else mentioned, we can get about the same benefits from aggressive caching. I agree for the most part.

Don't get me wrong. I love Google. I love what they do to make the web faster with their hosted libraries[1]. Correct me if I am wrong but caching the libraries from Google only helps if the the server specifies they want that particular file from Google (I'd imagine it would be a gaping security hole any other way). My thought is whether it is possible to just declare something like 1.9.1.min.jQuery.com and have the browser just recognize it and say "Oh yes I have that. No need for a server round trip. You're welcome." or "No, I don't understand what you're talking about. Give me an address so I can fetch it."

Is it even worth it? jQuery 1.9.1 minified is ~90 kB, so we're probably just trying to shave off tens of milliseconds at the most. I bet we all have fruits hanging lower than this to worry about it. Another thing is that it will probably have to be a vendor-specific meta tag (as I don't see everyone getting aboard this, if anyone) in the header which I don't know is a good thing.

*I believe Mozilla Firefox has also started silent updates. It'd be nice to see how quickly users update when a new build gets pushed out.
