Litmus (http://litmus.com) - Cambridge,MA - We'd prefer local candidates but could be a remote position for the right person.

We're trying to solve email marketing and we're looking for a good .NET developer to add to our backend team. We're at 20 employees and growing - 100% bootstrapped and profitable from day 1.

A typical day for one of our developers might include building a new feature in C# and pushing it to our staging servers, then hacking on some Java Android code to fix a bug, and finally pushing an update to our 1000+ servers.

You should have a strong understanding of .NET primarily using C#. We won't limit to X years experience, but you should be able to impress with your .NET skills. We're happy to introduce you to the plethora of other technologies we use.

Why join Litmus?

- Great salary, full health care benefits, 28 days paid vacation (yes, on top of public holidays!)

- The technology - it's always the latest stuff and very diverse.

- The best tools money can buy. Every developer has an SSD, dual Apple 27" LED monitors, a 10" Android Tablet, an Aeron chair and whatever else you need to be awesome.

- Our office space is amazing. It includes killer views of MIT, Harvard and Boston, an Xbox with Kinect, beer fridge, pinball machine, a Sonos sound system and our newest addition an actual robot.

- We also buy you lunch, every day.

Nederlanders: When was the BAG established, and how was the dataset created? That must have been an incredible collection/standardization/digitization project.
I don't think that the parent poster is saying "women are put off by nudity". (As you point out, there are other contexts where women can often be just as comfortable with it as men are.) As I read it, the parent poster is saying that women are less interested in working in professional environments where their colleagues expose them to nudity unnecessarily. (That word "unnecessarily" may be part of why things are different in art than in graphics research.)

Someone else has already shared some formal research on how other "in-group" signals have exactly this effect. I don't think it's much of a stretch to suggest that "public consumption of heterosexual-male-targeted erotica" could have a similar effect. But even without that research, the fact is that plenty of women have been very explicit that nude or sexual images in the workplace make them feel unwelcome, unequal, and in some cases even threatened. Regardless of the deep causes of those reactions, the experience is undeniably real for the people who report it. And that comes back to the parent poster's point: if your company environment welcomes nude or erotic imagery without good reason, many women will choose not to work with you.

Finally, you ask whether it's unfair for one culture ("women", broadly speaking) to project its own cultural norms onto another ("computing", in this case). I see two answers. First, the pure capitalism that some folks here are fond of: if your company's atmosphere tends to push away talented female employees and your competitor's does not, they'll be more successful at drawing on that talent pool, eventually giving them a big advantage. (One could probably extend that reasoning to entire industries or societies with a little work.) And second, a social justice perspective: not all norms are morally equivalent. The classic example is that slavery used to be a perfectly accepted norm, but few today would argue that it was wrong for the abolitionists to seek to change it. I'd like to think that one day our social context will have shifted enough that nude images in the workplace will have the same impact on men and on women, but we aren't there now and it's hard to imagine it happening in my lifetime (or even two or three generations down).

[Oh, and one more point, since it's something that took me years to catch on to: as a guy, I'm very cautious these days when it comes to deep theorizing about why women (or other underrepresented groups) might feel the way they do about issues like this. The thing is, while trying to reason out all this stuff is just an intriguing intellectual exercise for me, for women it's their constant reality. And let me tell you, there's no upside to taking someone who's obviously unhappy about something and trying to dispassionately pick apart what exactly about it is bothering them. In the end, it's almost always more productive to simply say, "Wow, thanks for letting me know you feel that way. What can we do to make it better?"]
Oh, but the issue is not whether we think of something as a "corporation" or not. After all, that's just playing with words.

The issue is, what happens if you decide you don't want to do business with that entity anymore?

In case of state, the punishment is prison and, resisting that, death. That is the part that libertarians object to, and it doesn't matter whether that entity calls itself "corporation", "mafia" or "government".
Except there is no way to create an editor for moai.

Moai is a very low-level framework. Basically just a tad bit higher than OpenGL, + lua bindings
Indeed, the C99 bool fixes this particular bug, but it can introduce new bugs because its semantics are different from other C types. C99 bool allows you to assign a larger integer or a pointer to a bool with no warning. As illustrated by the grandparent commentor, the general assumption is that the C compiler will always warn you about these situations.

If bool had been always been part of the standard, people would be aware of this issue. But it wasn't, and so the C world is full of BOOL typedefs that can be chars, ints or whatever, and it's easy for programmers to implicitly assume that the "real" bool behaves like the typedefs they're used to.

Judging nuclear power by 50 year old designs at Fukushima is somewhat like judging the computer revolution by early networks.

Imagine someone saying, "I like the idea of the Internet, but the Morris Worm shows that humanity is not intelligent enough to pull iy off."

One of the problems nuclear power is the incredibly long generational cycles keeping old tech running and slowing the iterative improvement cycle you see with e.g. aviation and detailed NTSB reports.
This will raise the price of everything I think, because nobody will want to do the chores and we cannot (yet) automate everything.

In the end people with the Basic Income will be poor and we'll be back to square one.
That evidence would be convincing if peasants were enticed from working in the traditional arrangements by the lure of working in a factory; but as I understand it the situation was more complicated. Industrialization proceeded alongside the active dismantling of the feudal property system and the enclosure of formerly common land. A former peasant who became a factory worker may have gone through the intermediate step of being evicted from their land and becoming a vagrant.

Edit: wrote this comment before seeing the other reply, which makes almost exactly the same point
I totally disagree. These are all the same:

Is the network up? / Is the connection to SQL up? / Did someone just turn off the SQL machine half way through the query? / Can we find the server?

These are not errors, just normal business logic that has to be handled:

Are there any rows? / Did you return a Null when I was expecting a value?

These are not runtime errors, they're just debugging during development (with possible exception of overflow, depending on context):

Did the SQL compile? / Do I have rights on this table? / Did you return a float when I was expecting an int? / Did my value just overflow? / Did you just return 0 and I tried to use it in division?

And likewise, these all just have to do with the design of your program, which you either know you have to deal with or not:

Have you just terminated me as a result of a deadlock? / Did I just try to access the session but some other idiot clear it? / Did I just try to call a method on an object that is in fact null?

I already said that you may not have to worry about things like memory allocation errors, depending on your needs. Most of the stuff listed above is either redundant, or has more to do with the design of your program. I stand by my point that, in most programming (say, back-end web stuff), you're handling more like 5 errors per 20 lines, not 50 per 20.

And that, yes, those 5 (or however many) errors should be planned for from the start.
I definitely hear your concern. But on the flip side, I decided to take the plunge with Ember rc2, and I've had to deal with very few breaking changes. And of the breaking changes, they were very minor. I didn't have to re-architect anything. It's been very pleasant, and the amount of value I've been able to extract out of Ember has been tremendous. So much so, that I've held off being a huge advocate since I consider it to be a competitive advantage.

Ember Data, on the other hand, hasn't been ready. I also took the plunge with Ember Data with 0.12, and it turned out to be a mistake that's still looming over my head. (I think I would have been better off with Ember Model, or EPF which didn't exist at the time. Yes, I understand when you're new to the ecosystem, they all sound the same.) I think this has been a big part of where the confusion stems from. People who are new to Ember don't realize that Ember Data is a completely separate project with its own status.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I understand, there's no equivalent of Ember Data in Angular. Am I right? If that's right, then of the little bit you've said, it seems like you've run out of excuses not to use Ember :)
Lawmakers already had health insurance so the Affordable Care Act didn't really affect them in any substantial way.

In general the ACA won't have a huge immediate impact for those who already have health insurance.
SEEKING WORK - Remote

Located in the Southwest, seeking a remote position with flexible hours (doing a welding certification for a year, looking to work full time or close to that but I can't do a typical 9-5).

- +5 years experience working as a PHP dev. Spending a lot more time with Python and Go lately and would feel comfortable doing production level projects in Python soon. Fluent in Javascript (vanilla or jQuery) as well and up to date on HTML5 and happy to do frontend, although I excel at large sized backend projects.
- Experience with Zend, Yii, Symphony, Wordpress,... always eager to pick up new things and I'll make sure to fanatically learn whatever framework(s) needed.
- I write solid OOP code, follow MVC best practices.
- Production experience with Subversion and Mercurial (and adding Git to that would be a breeze).
- Very security conscious, at all levels of the stack. Looking to expand on that and become a coder/pentester hybrid over the next year.
- +8 years running Linux exclusively. Very comfortable around a command line. Happy to set up, secure, troubleshoot and maintain any server. Lots of CentOS production level experience. I've saved the day more than once diagnosing and fixing app performance issues that were a combination of server and code layer problems :)
- Fluent in English, Dutch and Spanish. Euro expat with permanent residency in the US.
- Not a drone, always happy to contribute ideas and to respectfully offer alternatives without being a buttmunch about it or losing sight of project leadership/track.
- Good communicator, I have a good knack for translating nerd speak into understandable English (or Spanish or Dutch). Not afraid of people either, you could actually put me in a room with customers or the marketing department without resulting in long awkward silences.
- Experience working in teams or solo, equally happy doing either one. I can be relied on to work without for months on end if needed without wasting too much time on supervision, but I'm never afraid to ask to feedback or info when needed.

Looking preferably for a small team or a single position. Looking for something long term if possible, not the job hopper type.

Happy to provide code samples and/or do a test run together.
Software developer, ProjectPolicy - Cambridge UK, or REMOTE

ProjectPolicy is a startup building Stat.io, a web application that lets people use open data to improve decision-making. Our vision is to aggregate data from hundreds of open data portals, which can then be visualised in one place. You can see a very early demo of the application over here:

http://www.stat.io/demo/

The main technologies we're using for data processing are Python and MySQL, with a bit of Redis and MongoDB for some simple queueing and logging respectively. We're open to using any technologies if it helps get us closer to our vision.

We're looking for a software developer to join us. At the moment, the technical team consists of me (the CTO) and one intern. If you're interested or have any questions, get in touch: mike@projectpolicy.org.

You can find out more about us on our website: http://www.stat.io/
it sometimes shows some taxis, most of the time it doesn't…

currently showing just a feew (2-3) cabs in london which probably is incorrect (like kevingibbon also noted).

apart from that it's slightly annoying you start zoomed at some street level when you pick a city (in my case london as that appears to be the only one having data…). if you're exposing your own location it would make sense to zoom in at street level, but if you're not i think an overview of the selected city would make more sense
The flaw in that study seems to me that for starters, boys don't need to be convinced to go into CS. And those stereotypes are mostly just stereotypes - there were no such things at my university, for example. It was a rather ugly building, though. But it' not that men prefer ugly buildings (I definitely didn't), but that they keen enough on those subjects to go for it anyway.

However if the finding is that if you make it nicer, more women will choose it, that seems rather trivial. Of course if you make something more attractive, more people will choose it.
This is simply a result of the balance of power shifting ever further towards employers over the past few decades. What incentives does a short-term value maximizing employer have to give his employees paid vacation?

In addition, a perfect storm of automation, globalization and erosion of worker rights has severely reduced the bargaining position of employees worldwide.

Furthermore, by keeping the majority of the population fully occupied at all times, participation in the democratic process becomes an incredible burden. Thus, the political arena becomes a playground for those who can afford the luxury of free time.

It doesn't take a genius to see whom these factors benefit.

In regards to the time and life of medieval peasants and the like, I think I will take my work week over theirs.
Sometimes, a single observation is enough to make generalizations. It depends on the context. For instance, dipping your toe into water before immersing yourself will give you an accurate enough idea of the temperature of the main body of water.

In this case, the wife's lawyer appeared to believe that she was in a cultural milieu where it was acceptable practice, not only to jeer and snort on the sidelines, but to lie to the judge about what the OP said.
Wait for windows 8.1. There will be a surge then in windows 8 adoption. Mainly because the OEMs can finally undo some of the damage then.

Overall, even though the stats are mainly rubbish, Microsoft still have over 90% of the desktop market.
Yes, the point of the thread is to match work seekers with providers. Clearly nobody is at work today, and the only people posting are seekers. There's only 3 "seeking freelancer" replies out of 61 posts

Vulnerability allowed hacker to Delete any Facebook Photo; Rewarded with $12,500
No one is denying that there was a chemical attack. The question is how big it was. If it was just a small attack then it could have been the rebels dropping a bag of sarin gas. But if it is confirmed it was a large attack that could have only been launched by payload thus it must have come from the Syrian army. Leaving two possibilities. A rogue element from within the army or the Assad regime.
I didn't say it didn't. In fact I din't mention Backbone at all.

I said, "Let's not use this opportunity to start another Ember vs Angular argument."
I don't know about the US, but many small towns in Canada still have a Sears storefront where people can pick up their orders. My parents furnished their cottage that way.

Quirky - http://www.quirky.com/ - Located in NYC, open to remote

At Quirky, we believe that the best ideas in the world aren't actually in the world -- they're locked in people's heads. We exist to solve that problem.

We are looking for senior developers in many departments. We have three main applications:
- Quirky.com Rails / Backbone application
- Quirky iOS and Android apps
- Wink - Our app-enabled product line launching this fall

Our coolest perk is Quirky Blackout (http://www.quirky.com/blackout) a mandatory, company-wide week vacation at the end of every quarter. Here is where people went last Blackout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07NlWUGFuTM

Email me at jengland@quirky.com and I can tell you more about the opportunities available!
Exactly my point. In my experience, exceptions have helped me significantly reduce my code, increase readability and quicken bug tracking.
I hate X-rays, so... Dental Records 2.0 (with Kinect-like tech maybe?)

I like the idea of having the same set of teeth I have now (early twenties) for when I get old enough and my teeth drop out.

People who have lost the opportunity to get a 3d capture of their own teeth could possibly customize dentures based on the teeth of their younger siblings.

It'd be interesting to inspect the variety or sexual dimorphism of the dental sets between siblings in realtime 3D morph.

Saving teeth snapshots in a timeline would be quite useful for dentists to have.

Forensics might also get advantage of this.
The BAG itself is something a government organisation called the 'Kadaster' maintains. I would be surprised if the US doesn't have a similar organisation.

Basically whenever a house is sold, (I never actually bought a house so someone more knowledgeable should correct me) information about the purchase and the state of the house is submitted to the Kadaster. As far as I know the kadaster is something that has its roots in the middle ages, but I could be mistaken.

As for the digitization, that probably happened somewhere in the late 60's early 70's out of necessity along with many other governmental databases (like taxes).

What is news is that one apparently can query the entire kadaster database, this is something done by http://dev.citysdk.waag.org/, a European project so maybe we'll get info like this from other countries as well.

Okay I'm glad to see that it's not something you espouse yourself necessarily, but rather a phenomena that central bankers believe in and thus act accordingly to. Macro stuff is weird and generally wrong IMO but I didn't go through any formal economics. That might make me more qualified or less, depending on your point of view.

At any rate thanks for helping me understand the NAIRU rather than just calling me an idiot.

I agree completely that the macro environment is hugely influential. Saving and frugality are beneficial at one interest rate or naive and foolish at another. It's really strange how the "common sense" idea that you shouldn't spend money you don't have is 100% true at 10% interest but only about 5% true at 1% interest. Especially with inflation at a couple percent.
Well since we are all pretty much software guys here and since this is HACKER news:

Wouldn't it be wise for some among us to try to build a simulation of what would happen in the US economy given a Basic Income?

That's what I propose. I believe we have enough historical, economic, and census data to at least "play out" a few different ways something like this could go down.

It would require taking into consideration plenty of factors and it would be a bit of work but in the end it could also potentially be history-altering itself.

Let's make it open source to avoid any possible corruption though. ;)
