New York - Full time or intern Rails devs

Aidin's mission is to bring transparency to the healthcare system and empower patients with data to make more informed decisions on where they receive care. We're backed by the best institutional investors in both consumer internet http://techcrunch.com/2012/06/15/aidin-seed-round/. Aidin was born out of Blueprint Health (3% acceptance rate), a Techstars affiliated healthcare IT accelerator. We're surrounded by amazing talent as we currently reside in the heart of New York City.

As a software engineer on a small team, you'll touch on every aspect of the technology related to the company. It’s a broad job description and we’re looking for someone who loves being part of a fast-paced, constantly evolving work environment where your opinions and decisions will seriously affect our technical direction. We’re looking for a technology generalist with interest in specializing as necessary - It's more important that you love learning and can adopt new languages/frameworks/APIs very quickly.

There are few companies poised to actually make an impact on people's lives, but Aidin is one of them. Join a team of people committed to leave a lasting impression on a part of healthcare that one day, we too will rely on. We couldn't be any more excited about what we're doing, and so is the tech community!http://techcrunch.com/2012/10/10/meet-the-three-most-fund-ab...

I disagree strongly with at least parts of this article. Offering no cash alternative but instead demanding a cross license to non-FRAND patents is by definition discriminatory as not every licencee will have patents and no one else will have the same patents.
SEEKING WORK - Remote (UK based, travel negotiable)

At risk of comparing myself to a fake horse, I'm something of the unicorn - happy working on any aspect of web dev, from the design & HTML to the bloody guts on the back end.

Been in the game for many years now so I've picked up a thing or two. I can also help with SEO-friendliness, things that convert from experience and so on.

Looking for some new and interesting projects to get stuck into. Ideal would some kind of retainer for ongoing work.

* Front end: HTML, CSS, JS. Responsive-ness, Wordpress themes, etc-de-etc

* Backend: PHP (mainly Codeigniter lately but can turn my hand to most things)

* iOS/Android app dev. Mainly use Titanium but have worked with Phonegap

* Git or mercurial is fine with me

* API-a-plenty, AWS, Stripe, Mailgun, MLS etc etc

Just to round me off a bit I've also worked in Perl, C, Delphi, Lua and AMOS(!) in the past, and whilst I'm not looking for work in those, it hopefully shows I can pick up new things and adapt as required (currently getting an AngularJS fix).

My rates aren't exactly comparable with offshore elance devs but are pretty good.

Gurock Software (http://www.gurock.com/) - Berlin, Germany

Hiring: Software Developer, DevOps Engineer, Product Evangelist, Interns

We are a small & successful bootstrapped software company from Berlin and build popular web-based applications for software teams. We have been in business since 2004 and many thousands of teams, both small and large, use our products. We are looking for software developers, a DevOps engineer and a product evangelist to join our team. You can learn more on our website here:

http://www.gurock.com/about/jobs/

We are also looking for interns (paid) or computer science students to help us with various smaller projects part time.

Our main product TestRail is web-based test management software. It's available both as a download edition as well as a SaaS/cloud edition. In addition to completely designing and building our products in-house, we maintain our own high-availability and critical server infrastructure for our products. If you join our team you can expect a wide array of opportunities and challenges to test your skills.

We are about to open an awesome office in Berlin (Prenzlauer Berg, near Mitte) and offer great benefits. We use a modern web development stack with PHP, an advanced custom MVC framework (like Rails), Vagrant etc. Our server infrastructure uses Ubuntu LTS, Ansible, HAProxy, MySQL, Corosync and DRBD among other things.

We are building an international team and most of our customers are from North America and all over Europe, so speaking German is not required. If you are in Berlin (or consider relocating) and one of our open positions sounds like a good fit, let me know.
There would be a bit of a spike in the last 10-15 years though, no?
REMOTE: Part or full time developer and support team member

We're a small company selling software and services to a technical and demanding industry. Our international team is looking for someone who is up to learning something possibly completely new, and extending their coding abilities on varied systems that we're in the process of scaling.

Tools we work with include: Python/Flask/PostgreSQL, C/C++, /Java (server side), AngularJS (frontend), OSX/Windows/iOS/Android apps

You will need to be available for working with our customers on the phone between at least 10am-3pm CET (Central European Time), and collaborating with our distributed dev team during some later hours some parts of the week (flexi-time). You should have good speaking english to take occasional support calls during the day - this is an important part of how we work, where all developers have direct access to customers. We'd also love to have a German speaker on board.

Interns/Junior devs completely welcome to apply - if you are just learning to code, have a technical background in any field and can demonstrate genuine aptitude for independent learning please get in touch. This is a 100% remote position and some of us have kids while working from home so we're very family-friendly. It's also an excellent position for anyone studying.

ClassDojo

FULLTIME in SAN FRANCISCO, CA

ClassDojo is used by over 15mm teachers and students to manage behavior in the classroom, using real time feedback and rewards that can also be shared with parents. We're an edtech startup with funding some of the biggest names in the valley (Jeff Clavier, Ron Conway, General Catalyst, Mitch Kapor...), and we're one of the fastest growing education companies of all time.
We're the only non-YC company that Paul Graham has ever invested in. We've built a product that makes a real difference and gets huge engagement with millions of kids, and we're about to take it to the next level, hopefully with you on board. We have a strong team, an extremely comfortable and relaxed environment and great salary + benefits. If you're a strong hacker who wants to use JavaScript to change the world, apply here:

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

https://classdojo.wufoo.com/forms/join-classdojo/

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

Or email jobs@classdojo.com. You can read about the work and environment here: http://www.classdojo.com/jobs

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

We're particularly looking for:

* Backend API Architect/Engineer

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

What's the role?

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

At the core of ClassDojo is a node.JSON API built on node.js which makes use of multiple services and handles hundreds of requests per second. We have native clients for iOS, Android and even Windows Desktop, and a rich JavaScript web client, and all of these consume the same API.

You'll work on architecting the API and implementing an internal node.js framework which bakes in resource sharing and permissions, provides realtime notifications and events to our clients, and which offloads CPU intensive tasks to asynchronous offline processes.

Throughout you'll be designing a beautiful API that is used by developers every day, you'll be solving difficult architecture and distributed systems problems, and you'll be a part of an important company shaping educational outcomes for millions of kids in America and worldwide.

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

What skills are we looking for?

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

* Relevant experience in designing or maintaining a mature API is important to us. This could be through work at a prior company or through your personal projects or open-source work. We'd really like to see an example of an API you've worked on. We know every API has warts, but that's fine - we look forward to discussing the trade-offs you had to make.

* Experience working on a production system or some type of live product is important.

* An educational background in Computer Science or Math is preferred but not essential.

Is this you? Apply here: https://classdojo.wufoo.com/forms/join-classdojo/

> There's always chat about programming being stuck in the '80s but I think that with the recent developments and improvements in compilers, programming languages and toolchain the process of programming is anything but stuck in the '80s.

I tend to agree with this. The whole thing does feel a bit like the "flying car syndrome", in that we had at one point envisioned that by this point in history we would be dictating concepts by thought to machines that would automagically transcribe them into machine code. It's a matter of expectations and projections outpacing reality.
If you get a chance look at our screenshot comparison tool. We ended up using the dom elements to do the comparison. It is a different tack on the same problem.
http://crossbrowsertesting.com/layout-comparisons-for-screen...
The comparison was not between putin's Russia and Russia 50 years ago. It was between Russia and USA. Despite everything that is fucked up and wrong with US Government, I would hope (perhaps naively), its still better than Russia in terms of human rights at least?
Exactly. I worked for a magazine that insisted on their company name be stylised in all caps (it was not a acronym).

If you look at a old JAVA/Java logo it actually is stylised as JAVA.

In fact my first JAVA textbook stylised it in all caps also so ever since I just copied that.

Ps. I dont actually give a shit about JAVA or what anyone thinks it says about my skills because of the way I write it
You continue to equate the person possessing a gun with the gun being used against you.

The gun isn't there to be used against you unless you're going to be violent. The gun is there because they can never be sure when someone might become violent.
Wow, a programming language compiler I don't have to pay for... Somehow not that exciting a development in 2013.
The title is slightly misleading - In fact the compilers have been available before as part of the .NET Framework (or Windows SDK) and are most likely sitting on your windows machine (try c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\csc.exe).
SEEKING WORK - Norwich, UK - remote preferred, available for onsite in London and Midlands, EU negotiable

I'm a full-stack engineer (specialising in JavaScript/jQuery/AngularJS, HTML5, LESS/SASS/Bootstrap, PHP/Drupal) with extensive experience in the publishing, content-creation sector. I have a long history of working with public and private sector clients with some pretty complex data (I've worked with UK legislation for the past 3 years). I've helped develop some of the webapps to create and manipulate this data, from front-end to server-side.

I'm qualified in most aspects of the project lifecycle and offer services in:

- System architecture of highly scalable systems

- Team leadership

- Wireframing

- Developing agile proofs-of-concept

- Transforming MVP/PoCs to full systems

- Maintenance, bug-fixing & modernisation of legacy code.

I provide solutions that solve complex content management and creation issues and have the experience with users to create apps and systems that are easy to use! The systems I develop are modular and reusable, often providing opportunities for profitable reuse/repackaging/reselling for the client.

I'm currently available for project consultancy and advice or for upto 25 hours a week development on your site/app.

Please see profile for contact info.
Flagged for lack of actual hacking.
Since the wheel doesn't roll side to side, I imagine it's much the same as balancing a bicycle.

Also, since the wheel doesn't roll in that axis, it would also (I think) be impossible to auto-stabilise, since there is no steering capability. Perhaps it could have weights slide around to try to balance it, but I can't see that being particularly effective.
"Terrorism"! Just the word strikes fear into the hearts of many Americans. It has led us to suffer indignities at airport lines, spend billions on ill-conceived wars, and spy on everyone's internet communications.

And yet, terrorism has been an extremely widespread and common phenomenon throughout our history, even on our own shores, which has been aided, abetted, and welcomed by government. It is, in some ways, easy to overlook because privileged Americans were not targets. But African-Americans have endured terrorism in this country on an overwhelming scale and with far-reaching consequences.

Although I dispute the statistics in the link I mentioned, ultimately I agree with the basic point: to be excessively frightened of terrorism, in its current guise, shows a lack of perspective both on statistics and on our nation's history.

>Anything can be redefined to terrorism

Wikipedia defines terrorism as "Terrorism is the systematic use of terror, often violent, especially as a means of coercion." Do you dispute that the KKK systematically engaged in this?

A not insignificant proportion of Russians do. You were guaranteed a job, a place to live and an education.
If you feel that you don't get enough of gov "care" when someone doesn't pay taxes, it means you are personally entitled to that amount that he didn't pay, right?

If you feel you are personally entitled, will you consider it moral to come and get what's yours? Will you allow other citizens to do so towards you?

About income tax: imagine I work an hour and sell some artwork to a friend. How did this affect anyone on the planet so that government is entitled for an income tax from what my friend gave me? If I tell you about that transaction, will you consider it moral and good to report it to IRS? Will you do that to any of your friends, or only people you don't like much?
My friends who were hit while walking across an intersection might disagree. (Fortunately, neither were killed)
Apple's similar "Command Line Tools" package is a handy way to get clang & co installed, so that you can still use brew (...and write C) if you don't want Xcode.
Nice article. Good tips for if you really need to get in touch with a specific person.
With massively parallel hardware, concurrency is the biggest challenge facing programmers today. It's a terrible programming paradigm. And your Non-blocking algorithms only add complexity to an already difficult problem. For example, I've seen NBAs lead to a priority inversion bug.

Did you even watch his talk? I didn't see anyone arguing against Bret's scaling concerns with threads in yesterday's HN comments.
Very well said.

I suspect Clarity on Camera+ is some form of Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE).

CLAHE came about from digital image cleanup of medical scans for human analysis.
Blindly equating the actions of society and the actions of individuals is at the heart of the problem with your worldview, and one of the many reasons I disagree with it.
