AD60 - Brooklyn, NY (http://www.ad60.com/jobs/)

We build mobile apps for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone 8. We need mobile developers and web developers.

Most recently we've built apps for Songza (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/songza/id453111583?ls=1&...) and YouSendIt (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/yousendit/id442140135?mt=8)
An HD7970 can peak at around 200W consumption, so the entire PC is probably consuming around 300W, or about 7kwh per day. I pay $.11 per kWH, so I would be losing money on the deal.

Good luck with the women!
Not very familiar with Go, could someone please elaborate on what "Go: no dependencies" mean? Thanks
Austin, TX | Full-time, Intern | Software Engineer

Come pair with me at mobi!

We're seeking talented, full-stack software engineers that are smart and get things done. We're most excited about finding seniors, but all experience levels are welcome. We're looking for candidates in, or willing to relocate to, Austin, TX.

mobi is a B2B mobile fleet logisitics solution. We help companies with mobile fleets service their customers better and faster by optimizing service routes and analyzing GPS data. This means we also help save fuel, tires and brake pads to keep the world a little bit more green.

Our tech stack contains a non-trivial amount of all of the following technologies:
Java (Spring/MyBatis/Hibernate)
Ruby (Sinatra and maybe Padrino or Rails soon)
JavaScript (AngularJS/jQuery)
SQL (T-SQL and maybe Postgres or Mongo soon)

We're not dogmatic about the tech we use. We believe strongly in using the tool that helps us accomplish the task in the best and fastest way possible.

We don't expect you to be familiar with all of the technologies we use. There is a very strong learning culture at mobi. Therefore we do expect you to be willing (nay, excited) to learn about the tech we use that you don't know and to teach us about the tech you use that we don't know. We also expect you to be comfortable with test driving the code you write, with a pair, the large majority of the time. Of course, working in pairs doesn't always make sense, nor does TDD, and we're comfortable with those exceptions.

mobi offers competitive salary; competitive ping pong tournaments; free soda, snacks and beer; unlimited time off as needed; great views from our downtown office; monthly company get-togethers to celebrate our accomplishments

San Francisco, CA - Zenbox. Software Engineer.

We're a YC company wrangling SaaS to work together (as they should), starting by bringing the biggest apps our customers use right into Gmail.

We work with dozens of API's to show our users profiles of their customers without having to jump out of the email flow - imagine having http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtzqRSlgqkw available when helping customers.

Thousands of people use it every day for hours on end, and are happy to pay for it to make sure they can continue using it. But there's still so much polish and improvement possible.

Looking for an engineer who loves the craft, who cares about building product, and is excited about helping customers.

This is both UI and backend work.

Languages: Clojure, Clojurescript, Ruby, Javascript.

I just got so sick of the Adobe updates (and their failures to update) that I uninstalled all of it on my work machine.
The real question is, are they all a safe bet now!
I will complain that Adobe wants to be updated what feels like every time my Windows machine restarts, but it never asks to install any adware as it does so.
AMA Capital -- Palo Alto, CA. Full time. H1B okay.

Join us in writing software that trades billions of dollars per day in the foreign exchange market.

We are a very small team, all engineers, who design and implement our own trading strategies and infrastructure, down to the networking code that connects us to financial markets. We want to add employees number 2 and 3 to our team in the coming months who will focus on strategy or on infrastructure.

No experience or specific knowledge of finance is required. However, you do need to be at least interested in financial markets and to be able to implement your strategies carefully in C++.

Yeah, I was going to ask what those were.

If that's the case, it was interesting to me that the waves appeared to manifest a bit like a standing wave, with regularly repeating, equally distanced, higher and lower probability/amplitude propagating away from the atomic groups.

If that's correct, and electron probability wave functions mimic a standing wave, do different atoms have different standing wave frequencies? Does the resonance between different elements create any physical properties or predict anything...like what elements are likely to form a compound or the physical property of a compound?
Educreations (http://www.educreations.com) - Full Time in Palo Alto, CA

For anyone who doesn't need heavy lifting http://www.openshotvideo.com/ is a great project.
I used to be terrified of public speaking. I was also terrible at it - I mean really, truly awful. I spoke too fast, jumped around, interrupted myself - I cringed as much at the thought of what the poor audience had to experience as at my own anxiety.

I didn't do anything fancy to get over my stage fright. I simply took every opportunity to speak publicly that came my way. I knew I was going to suck, but I also decided that the only way to stop sucking was to force myself to get better at it.

Each time, I tried to focus on one specific area of concern, e.g. talking too fast. I would practice giving the talk very slowly and record myself talking. That turned out to be very helpful, because I realized that I was actually talking a lot faster than I thought I was talking. Repeatedly doing this helped me to recalibrate my perception of how fast I was talking.

Over the past several years, I've noticed a few things:

* My pre-speech anxiety has declined from full-on trembling hands, quavery voice, nausea and so on to a mild nervous excitement that I can manage with slow, deep breathing. Once you've actually experienced giving a terrible talk, you get a more realistic (i.e. less catastrophic) sense of how bad it is.

* My talks themselves definitely suck less than they used to. I'm still not what you could call a good public speaker, but at least I look and sound reasonably comfortable on stage. I've gotten slower, though not slow enough, and I am generally able to stay on message.

* I tend to use my slides as cues for what I want to say at each point. This occasionally backfires when the stage is set up so that I can't easily see them.

My goal is to be a good public speaker. Maybe in five or ten years I'll get there. In the meantime, it's a work in progress.
The internet is more than access to knowledge and information, and I agree that the sectors responsible for knowledge and information should have the imperative of increasing living conditions, and not generating capital. This is why Wikipedia should not be a business; this is why universities should not be businesses and this why they should receive tax dollars. Note however, that whether or not they should be regulated is a totally different matter. I was questioning the notion that the problem with banking, medicine, and education in the US is excessive regulation.

On the other hand, companies like Amazon and Facebook have little to do with broadening access to knowledge and information (barring the latter in a trivial sense of the word), and are oriented towards generating capital, so I don't think the rhetorical questions that you open with are applicable here.

I'd like to hear you elaborate on why the reasoning for regulation is flawed in the cases of healthcare, education, banking, telecom.
Not sure why Turing's name is associated with this. Is there any evidence that he thought about ethical use of computers?
Regarding image based programming. There is nothing preventing you from exporting your package(s) as a "change set". This change set can be imported into your start image. Any real globals would of course not reside in the change set, because it originated from a package. Maybe I'm missing your point.

Precision Nutrition - Toronto, ON, Canada - REMOTE

At Precision Nutrition, we're committed to the Fitness 2.0 vision: technology that makes lifelong change easier than ever before. We're looking for a new teammate to help us make it happen.

Specifically, we're looking for a Front-end design engineer. Someone with:

* both design and coding chops

* incredibly strong skills in HTML5, CSS and the related design tools (Creative Suite, etc.)

* some experience with JQuery and any of the MVC Javascript frameworks (optional, but a big plus. We're using Ember.js on our current project)

* the ability to turn UI sketches and mockups into beautiful, working HTML / CSS / JS prototypes

* the ability to turn those prototypes into clean, elegant, production-ready code

* a passion for learning, a penchant for listening, and a good attitude to tie it all together

We're going to be working primarily on responsive and mobile-specific web projects and apps, so if you're interested, send us something that shows us what you can do. If you have a GitHub profile, a portfolio, or even something you've cooked up for fun just to demo your skills, we'd love to see it. Come build the future of fitness with us.

At Precision Nutrition we:

* Pay in the top 10% in the world for each position.

* Offer 4 weeks paid vacation and a health benefit stipend.

* $10,000 annual expense budget for whatever hardware, software, training and conferences you might wish for.

Join us so you can:

* Work from anywhere. If you’re in Toronto, our hometown, great! If not, no worries. Many people on our team work exclusively from home, from all over the world. We prefer people to be on Eastern time (or close to it), because it makes virtual meetings easier. But we'll consider superb applications from anyone, anywhere.

* Work in the fitness and nutrition industry.  We love exercise, we love nutrition, and we love sport. That’s why we started this company. If you do too, you’ll appreciate how rare it is to do a job you really love. For active, fit people, Precision Nutrition is that opportunity.

* Work with fun, bright, and talented people. We’re a small company, and we’re picky about who we work with, because to us, this isn’t just a job – it’s our life. Over time, and with careful selection, we’ve put together a group of extremely talented, flexible, and positive people who truly love what they do, and who appreciate the strengths their teammates bring. It's an incredibly creative environment.

Interested? Send an application to applications@precisionnutrition.com, and include a cover letter, resume / LinkedIn profile, GitHub profile, portfolio -- whatever will show us what you can do.

SEEKING WORK - Remote or Austin, TX

I'm an experienced full stack web application engineer, presently focused on Drupal and Node.js, but with a very broad background beyond that.

I've spent a lot of time working with startups over the years, and specialize in rapidly turning ideas into prototypes and full first versions.

As a developer, I kind of take offense to the allegations of Java (and Flash as well, I suppose, it's supposed to be pretty good) being "crappy software". The JVM is actually a rather awesome piece of software which offers good performance and good garbage collection. And interesting new languages have been created and flourished on top of the JVM. (Scala, Clojure)

Please know the difference between bad/customer unfriendly handling of installers/updaters, and actually bad software.
Loves Park, Illinois. Cleo Communications Inc. Java shop doing MFT. We're hiring Senior Software Engineers, Junior Software Engineers, QA, and Sales Engineers. If you're talented and in Northern Illinois(or Southern WI for that matter), we want to hear from you.

We offer competive salary, health insurance with company HSA contribution, dental, good PTO schedules, and all other manner of niceties.
Company info: We're a well established company with many big clients. The company has been around for 20+ years in various iterations with the latest product cycle about 10-15 years old. We've recently been acquired by a couple of Silicon Valley backed gentlemen who see our potential and want to compete toe to toe with IBM in the Managed File Transfer domain. We're revamping products, spinning up marketing, staffing up and taking over the world. It is a startup atmosphere in an established company.

When i went to 8th grade (in Sweden) we did an experiment in chemistry class where we would put a tiny bit of Sodium into a bowl of water to see it fizzle about (reacting with the water), all students where allowed to carry out this on our own. However a group of student (unaware of the possible consequences) took a chunk of sodium and put it in the water, violent reaction of course which left mark in the ceiling and glass everywhere. Nothing came out of this other than quite a long talk about dangers in chemistry and so on.
I agree with the points about the "about" screen being much more clear as to what you do than the front page, and that the styling on the maps is horrible... really REALLY don't like looking at it.

Ads. That's all that I've come up with. I would love for something different to come along (http://reddino.org/when-can-we-drop-the-advertising-model/) but I don't see anything on the horizon. You could always just place one ad on each page and see how it does. That wouldn't be too intrusive.

Many people will probably suggest an ebook/course/etc, but they're all just slight variations on your book.
Greatly appreciated! Would love to see how this was done incase there's a need to patch future versions.

NASA has spaceflight designs, and there are a lot of variables at play, so you can never really find "the best" mission.

So they create a reference mission, and then compare candidates to that. Something doesn't have to be strictly better (if there were something strictly better they probably would have found it), but you then understand the trade-offs you are making from it.
That was awesome, thank you for this video. The demoscene is inspiring.

ROI - Cheshire, UK - Remote possible

We have over 140 people working on behalf of 12 major motor manufacturers in the UK to support their sales activity. From an IT point of view we are a small team within the business who customise Sage CRM systems (Classic ASP/C#) for some of these motor manufacturers and are now looking to build our own analytics and management product (technology stack not yet chosen, probably not MS).

We are looking for a well rounded web developer who is comfortable with HTML/CSS/Javacript/ASP/C#/SQL Server and ideally someone who also has Sage CRM experience. UI design skills not essential. This is one of the first hires in this area so will have a big say in the new products we create.

Remote working possible though would need to meet face to face occasionally.

If interested drop me a mail at lloyd - at - cogentic.co.uk
