SEEKING WORK - REMOTE / can travel worldwide

Do you need a PostgreSQL expert? I'm an experienced Postgres developer looking for new projects to work on. I can diagnose performance issues, optimize SQL queries, implement custom datatypes, develop stored procedures, and design & implement extensions (in C). I also have plenty of experience with libpq, ECPG, and the psycopg2 Python bindings. A sample of my current and past projects:

http://code.malloclabs.com/pg_schema_triggers - Triggers for schema change events, using 9.3's new CREATE EVENT TRIGGER infrastructure. Support for CREATE/ALTER/DROP of relations, ADD/ALTER/DROP of columns, and ENABLE/DISABLE of triggers. [Work-in-progress]

http://code.malloclabs.com/pg_image - IMAGE datatype for storing and manipulating JPEG and PNG images directly in the database.

http://code.kiwidrew.com/pgiata - AIRLINE_CODE, AIRPORT_CODE, and other IATA-defined airline datatypes. Designed as part of an airline ticket searching system.

No issue or feature request is too small. Interested? Email me:

Why should one use bookmarks rather than many tabs? I have many concurrent projects going, and things I refer to regularly, so I just leave them grouped in my tree of tabs on the sidebar. Much more efficient than digging through nested bookmark menus, or trying to make sure the bookmarks are properly classified.

Basically, my tabs are bookmarks, except tabs are integrated into the web-browser better.
Amazing book. Just picked it up a few weeks ago.
Looking for Systems Engineers - In-Q-Tel
You, OTOH, without any knowledge of me or my intentions accused me of bigotry.

We are discussing a blog post that attempts to invent a caricature of those you disagree with based upon, it seems, age, despite that having literally nothing to do with the discussion in question (futher, I have no reason to believe the submitter of the item discussed was inexperienced, or that they themselves weren't one of those reviled card punchers. I'm not sure why you drew this divide that didn't actually exist at all, leading to further nonsense of castes, as if everyone wasn't discussing the poor execution of the presentation. I mention your own possible bigotry because it is similar to racists imagining every disagreement or situation must somehow involve race).

In that case, may I request you to please consider my jeering of HN's snobbish behavior as honest criticism?

Your jeering criticism was nonsense, however, manufacturing a strawman that didn't exist. People expressing frustration with the discussed submission, however, were making a very cogent point.

Domestic spying ‘inconsistent with the values of this country’
This article seems to miss the fact that the old "new tab page" also showed frequently visited pages, but also showed apps.

It took me a very, very long time to work out where my apps were when I went to use one because I had hidden the apps link on my bookmark bar a few days previously when I had first seen it. (My bookmark bar lacks space as it is!)

It would be great if public libraries offered this service (or one like it) to their patrons. My local library offers Overdrive Media Console [1], but the selection always seems to be lacking and the apps are subpar. An electronic rental service with books that people actually want to read would be killer and could save libraries money. My library system has cut back on inter-library requests because of shrinking funding, and an electronic delivery system could help cut costs.

Bookmarks don't save state, which is especially annoying in a time where async calls are used so heavily.
I like how this is the only post the OP hasn't replied to. I guess at least Bush had experience as a CEO - even if not quite the hard work, dedication and a healthy dose of risk taking OP values so much.

Devil's advocate here.

>"the Note 3 CPU locks into 2.3GHz mode, the fastest speed possible, and none of the cores ever shut off."

Good! I want to know what the maximum performance is from a benchmarking app.

I don't know why regulars apps are unable to get the Note 3 to use all 4 cores. Perhaps they're not multi-threaded or they haven't enabled the right settings? Surely 3D games will access all cores?

At the end of the day, Samsung wants the benchmarking to show the theoretical maximum. Other manufacturers may not be too bothered and are happy to show benchmarking of normal usage. It's like reading the specs on a car, you're never going to drive at 160 mph, but at least you know you could.
nice, have sent you a quick email. Are there any specific skills/areas you are urgently looking at?
"A number of studies have hinted..."

"The scientists were unable to directly examine the 28S RNA fragments in action, so they can’t say for sure that splitting 28S in two is the reason for the accuracy of naked mole rat proteins."

Right. So the entie article is nothing more than bs. Thank you for the book-tip, HN: "Bad Science", Chapter 11: How the Media Promote the Public Misunderstanding of Science
"The dumbing-down of science to produce easily assimilated wacky, breakthrough or scare stories... The relative scarcity of sensational medical breakthroughs since a golden age of discovery between 1935 and 1975, is seen as motivating the production of dumbed-down stories which trumpet unpublished research and ill-founded speculation.

Are Entrepreneurs Really More Risk-O-Philic?
Conspire - Boulder, CO - Full-Time

Conspire is a TechStars company founded in 2012. We analyze email data to give users detailed analytics on their email network and to understand the strength of connections between people.

When a user needs to reach a person or company, Conspire finds the strongest path of connections in the user's extended network.

We're located in downtown Boulder, Colorado.

QUALIFICATIONS

We're a small team, and we're looking for people to take on a lot of responsibility. You should be prepared to manage projects independently from start to finish, including gathering and refining requirements, evaluating potential approaches, soliciting feedback from teammates and experts, picking the right course of action given the company's goals and delivering stable, performant software that integrates seamlessly.

Our product is built primarily in Java, Scala, Rails and JavaScript, and we use several database technologies. We heavily leverage AWS infrastructure, manage source and issues on GitHub and continuously deploy code to production. In-depth experience with our technology stack is a plus but not a requirement.

BENEFITS

Along with all the benefits you'd expect (including relocation assistance), we also offer up to one month international travel per year. Work remotely from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection. We'll even give you $1,000 to send you on your way.

Contact me at alex@goconspire.com (or jobs@goconspire.com).

Whilst I'm pretty sure I'd use this or something like it, it's kinda sad the traditional libraries I used so much (and for free) when I was younger can't keep up with the pace of convenience. I often wonder how long it'll be before the smaller towns (sadly) lose them completely.

That said, good luck to them :-)
Chrome Extension: New Tab Changer
I think that anyone who's created something deserves a bit of admiration/praise along with the criticism and in that regard the example fits perfectly, IMHO.

As a programmer, it's worth keeping in mind that your work—with any luck—will touch the lives of tens of thousands of people. If your work is poor, you will make those lives worse. If your work is excellent, you will make those lives better. Everything you do, for good or ill, may be multiplied by a huge number. This is how programmers can change the world, and how they can make piles of money.

But with this power comes a responsibility: We have to listen to those users, and we have to give them the best we can. If we're unlucky, the users will say nice things while suffering in silence. If we're lucky, some of those users will gripe and moan about something specific. Many programmers spend a huge amount of effort trying to get users to vent their frustrations in detail. One of the most brutally effective things a programmer can do is watch a user through one-way glass from a sound-proof room. You will sit there cursing yourself, mutter, "How could I have been so stupid? I have to fix that immediately."

Now, if a novice programmer shows me their Rails app in person, I'm going to compliment some stuff, rip some other stuff apart (with instructions on how to fix it), and point them towards useful tools. But if a programmer releases software to a wide audience, and that software sucks, I'll gripe as much as any other user. (Of course, if the software is open source, I know the answer will be "Patches, please!", so I skip the griping and send patches along with enthusiastic thank yous for the code.)

If you don't think your work is ready to touch the lives of ten thousand people, and you don't want that responsibility, then I actually recommend against doing a "Show HN". Find a smaller, more personal group, where people will interact with you, and not just your code.

And I say all of this as somebody who has zero patience for nasty personal remarks. The feedback you quoted was brutal, but as a working professional, I've invested both time and money to elicit similar feedback.
I know the founders (Stefano Cutello), passionate and smart Italians. Great work!
Why I'm never flying again
Last I tried Firefox, pretty recently, it still needed to address some serious issues, when compared to Chrome:

* Unresponsiveness due to one tab thrashing

* Bad use of screen-space (bookmarks always visible, cannot disappear titlebar like in Chrome [there's only a Windows extension for that], menu-bar takes up another bar of space by default)

* Launching firefox has stop-the-world behavior to check/update extensions -- interrupting your flow when you need your browser most

* Some extensions still require restarts

These are the ones I remember off the top of my mind, I'm sure there were more...

I really tried going back to Firefox, but the cumulative pain of all of these made me go back to Chrome.
Well said @jfb.
That is... insane.
The Six Most Important Moments in Reddit History
I have a site backed up by you (trial) and the fact your doing data mining makes me uncomfortable.
> The "many tabs" situation where Firefox performs better than Chrome is more like 50+ or 100+ tabs than 20.

For me it's much sooner... on my work machine with limited memory, firefox is almost always noticeably better after 3-4 tabs, or even fewer when they're memory-hungry sites like gmail. With only 1GB on that machine, I tend to be hyper-sensitive to memory usage, and unfortunately chrome tends to basically use up all memory on the system once I reach 8-9 tabs. FF gets a fair bit further.

The upside of chrome on that machine, however, is that the process-per-tab thing makes much easier to control memory usage: although tabs chew up memory quickly, closing a tab gives you back all the memory it was using, whereas with FF the relationship between closing tabs and giving memory back to the system is much fuzzier....

Yes. In a nutshell:

- It was really expensive ;

- the merging destroyed what used to work well within both groups but didn't produce a better group ;

- the old guard is still actively resisting changes in both groups ;

- a lot of discrepancies between level of powers (local, regional and national) that both groups weren't seeing in the same way (they had a different who's who to call for help when they needed to push things around and people lost some status or credit when trying to prevent it).

The main problem that should have been addressed (better coordination between both groups) still remains as far as citizens are concerned.

There was a clash of culture since the "gendarmerie" was more like military and police more like armed civil servants. Lines are being blurred now but there are still weird intermediate unofficial rankings that are in place only for legacy and "don't move my cheese and hurt my feelings" reasons.

Salaries inequalities were too obvious and "adapted" responsibilities didn't match people's experience and training.

The overlap between the geographical regions each group were assigned to before the merging still transpires in the new system, like a ghost.

There was a huge power struggle.

I am sure these problems will totally disappear in a generation but it didn't go anywhere as smooth as the politicians said it would. And the results isn't necessarily better.

One thing hasn't changed though: they still send officers from one linguistic region to the other when dealing with protestations motivated by hot and sensible topics.

There still are two different kind of police: the local one and the federal one. The local authorities hire officers while the federal one has an endless supply of new recruits* but every officers come from the same police academies.

* gross exaggeration here.

To be honest it's not a problem of merging two groups or having only one police faction. It was badly handled and rushed by the political world at the time (they were in a hurry to fix many problems that were hot topic at that time, people were in the street and the merging was part of the answer). But I can't see how such huge changes in a society could be made without the political world being under huge pressure to do so. So I can't see how those kind of changes can't be done without being rushed.

Keep in mind it's only my advice and it was a sensible topic at some point. Some opinions are really polarized about all this.
So did I understand you correctly that you prefer to see the frequently visited sites, rather than the apps on your new tab page?

Also, what does everyone think about bookmarks on the new tab page - is that something everyone uses, or would just having a tile that links to chrome://bookmarks/ be sufficient?
I thought that initially, but the first part of the sentence seems to imply they looked at the site in IE8 only...
Nvidia has been caught doing exactly this multiple times. Same with intel compilers. Same with car makers who optimize for EPA testing conditions. Given a benchmark people will "optimize".
You can't volunteer your labor for a for-profit or government agency[1]. It violates the Fair Labor Standards Act. And you're thinking under the assumption these employees are on a mandatory vacation. That isn't the case. They are all furloughed. Doing side projects and fun jobs doesn't guarantee them any compensation. In fact, to get the money from the missded days is going to require another act of Congress to authorize backpay.

It's a really shitty time to be a government employee.

Chatham Financial (Kennett Square, PA) - Full time http://www.chathamfinancial.com

We've got an awesome developer culture going inside of this financial company (~150 tech people). You can email our HR rep[1], or me[2] with your resume and a few words of what you're looking for.

If you're interested in .Net development using the latest technologies, and pushing our architecture forward, then this is probably a place you want to work. We do use other techs where it's appropriate (or for internal or fun projects), such as last week when I worked on a Golang webapp. We have quarterly Hack Weeks, which gives us a chance to explore self-driven projects that make sense for the business.

Below are the open positions, but if you're a passionate and qualified guy/gal, don't hesitate to see where you might fit into our team!

* Web developer - You get to take the process from the data and service design all the way to the implementation of the UI, but you'll need to be well versed in some aspect of web development (MVC/JS/CSS/etc).

* Models developer - Same thing as the web developer, but you'll need a passion for services, and the technologies that it entails.

* Test automation developer - We have been pushing the limits of HP's BPT software suite for years now, so we have been building our own services testing framework (one of the goals of which is to open source it). The test team supports all the development we do, at approximately a 2devs:1tester ratio.

* DBA - Our Data Team is lean and the individuals on the team wear many hats. Our daily responsibilities include everything from TSQL data access performance optimization, to automating SQL Server and Windows with PowerShell, to working closely with software developers and business leads to create High-quality data solutions.

Rinse ( http://www.rinse.com ) - San Francisco, CA

Rinse is a very early-stage startup (we are only 3 people currently) looking to bring technology to the dry-cleaning industry. The industry is ripe for innovation! We're building mobile apps, tackling scheduling and dispatch problems, and scaling a service at over 10% week-on-week growth.

I know 'app for laundry' is a tech cliché right now, but we're definitely encountering real demand. The problem is real, and we're solving it.

The team is very strong, with an HBS grad who grew up in a dry-cleaning family heading operations, and a Stanford GSB grad with direct consumer startup experience heading customer acquisition. I'm Stanford CS/EE, have built a few teams at various startups, and am just starting to build the technology and team to support this (very viable) business.

The tech stack is Heroku / Python / Django / Phonegap / JQuery / Backbone / Twilio currently, but obviously there is plenty of opportunity to influence technology decisions early on, and plenty of opportunity to learn new technologies as well. We expect the next couple of hires to own entire new efforts, and have their hands in wide-ranging parts of our entire business.

We're looking for a Web Developer or Front-end Developer to develop interfaces for our customers, tools for our personnel, and visualizations for our managements. Ideally, this person would also have an active role in the design process as well, either leading design or working with our contract designer.

We're also looking for a 'Special Ops Manager' - a 'Swiss-Army Knife' hustler who wants to join a startup on the ground-floor. This person will use the tools we're developing in-house, and be involved in all facets of the business, including operations, marketing, social media, and any other aspect of the business that requires attention on any given day. See job description at https://www.dropbox.com/s/tuhisiywgf7md6u/Rinse%20-%20Specia...

Finally, if anyone in San Francisco is looking to make a few extra dollars part-time, Rinse is hiring part-time Associates to help us deliver clothes. We pay $25 per hour for a handful of hours per week. Perhaps it would be a way for some of you bootstrapping startups to earn a little extra cash? To apply to the Driver / Associate position, fill out this web form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1kWZYu1kg1r8kxdDC9ObKdgQP_1N...

Thank you! Feel free to contact me at sam@rinse.com with questions, comments, or applications.

The impostor syndrome is not for my experiences as a developer. It's for a different part of my life. :)

Also, I thought it had nothing to do with experience and was strictly about 'internalizing accomplishments' - at least that's what Wikipedia said.

Maybe I am over-assuming. Maybe you are right and I just suffer from low self-esteem. :(
