Modern TimeSheet Visualization & Billing Solution?
Hi, I work as a technical C# consultant and I'm always tracking my time weekly to bill customers...but in the lean agile world, I want a way to visualize the hours work...submit hours every day and then have automated billing processes? I've looked at freshbooks (great solution) but they don't have the visualization and daily invoice creation part.

Any recommendations?

About 14 years ago I used a chat client called popcorn that ran on local networks while I was at boarding school. It allowed us to chat after hours when outside internet access was cut off (around 10pm). Now I cant find any reference to it. Anyone else here heard of it?
due their perceived Arianism by Germany

As opposed to Denmark and Norway? It's more likely that the Germans got what they wanted anyway (Sweden sold Germany a lot of steel) and didn't have resources to occupy Sweden just for the principle of it.

I'm a SF based designer with front-end development chops and a passion for clean, understandable user experiences. I believe in being able to build what I design, which allows me to have the technology constraints in mind from the project outset.

Skills include the standard Photoshop/Illustrator and HTML/CSS/SCSS w/Compass/LESS/jQuery. I have experience with a variety of platforms including Magento and dabble in more heavy development work (backbone, Rails, etc) as necessary. I also have experience setting up server environments including with AWS. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Sorry dude, I think I just broke your app with a single line of JS..
setInterval(function() {jQuery("#theimage").click()},1);
Go's approach is that you basically have to trust the programmer at some point and as far as reasoning about the logic goes you should consider any mutable state sent over a channel to be owned by the receiving goroutine.

Modifying it by the sender after channel transmission is considered very bad form though the compiler allows it and you can safely get away with it as long as you properly mutex lock your accesses.

Notting Hill, London, England, U.K.

Our web application is at the heart of our busy e-commerce business; every day it serves millions of product images and handles thousands of purchases, but we can and do update the live site with new code anytime we want without missing a beat. Our systems are written on the LAMP stack and we are migrating to Symfony 2 as our MVC framework. Developers choose the tools that work best for them - for instance, at the moment we have a mix of Linux and Mac workstations in the team. We are adopting and adapting agile development techniques such as test-driven development, pair programming, and continuous integration. We hold regular retrospectives to improve our working environment and lightning talks to share cool ideas whether work-related or not. Our developers are generalising specialists whose typical day may include refining an algorithm, writing a tricky integration test, tuning a SQL query, and discussing feature nuances with a product manager. Our team is growing fast and we'd like to hear (at careers@secretsales.com) from any of you who'd like to join us; we're hiring for all technical roles.

Established in London in July 2007, Secretsales.com is one of the UK's leading private shopping clubs, offering limited-time online sales with current name-brand goods at deep discounts. Brands include fashion, beauty, homeware, and lifestyle categories, many familiar from the high street. The company has about 80 employees and a substantial annual turnover. The firm is growing quickly after a recent investment round.

I said that in jest not because it's ridiculous, but because I wish it were true. I use Mojolicious and love it.

My only complaint is that I started with Mojolicious::Lite way back in the beginning of the project, and I really needed to port to Mojolicious proper with a better source file layout quite a while back, but Mojolicious makes it too easy to throw in another lite-style route. At least the templates were easy enough to separate that I did it long ago.

Stress Breaking Game
I play this game for a couple of minutes at a time and find that my stress levels go down after playing it. Thought I'd share, some of you may benefit from it too.
A company can have more than one purpose and sometimes maximising profits gets in the way of the other purposes of the business, so just because a business is for profit, does not neccessarily mean that it will seek to maximise that profit or that the owners want it to as they may be just as interested in the other purposes that the business can be put to.

Money alone makes a poor measure of business as business is there to do stuff and money is just one of the processes involved.
The same thing helped out post-war America as well. Was isn't good for the economy on average, but when all of your industrialized competitors get bombs dropped all over them and/or occupied your relative advantage in manufactured goods goes way up.

Not to get too deep into the historical weeds, but several neutral, "Aryan" nations were invaded during the war. Doesn't it seem more likely that Sweden was fortunate enough to be geographically isolated between Russian-held Finland and German-held (and more strategically significant) Norway? Swap the government and population of Sweden for Denmark and I suspect nothing changes.
It also ignores the fact that I'm signed in to my account. There's a separate preference cookie that remembers the language, but it has to be set for each country-specific domain.

Give that they are the ones with a search monopoly, that's clearly true, but it doesn't say anything about their ethics.
I think civil disobedience is appropriate, and that people should resist compliance and urge others to resist. I believe that the individual mandate is unconstitutional and that the law was passed in a party-line vote using shady Senate tactics. Further, we now know that President Obama flat-out knowingly lied when he told the public "if you like your plan you can keep it." The law needs to be delayed so that Congress can pass a bipartisan health care reform bill. This issue is too important to not have achieved a governing consensus.

Deadlinelessness and productivity
SEEKING WORK - Remote preferred, based in Denver, CO; US citizen, fwiw.

Ops and Systems/Network Administration. You write the code, I make sure everyone that you want to can load it (and no one else).

Heavy/primary OS Linux user since the late 90's and working on the admin end (now trendily "devops") since the early 00's. Mostly have worked with small and mid-size businesses. Do you prefer Debian or RedHat based distros, or something else entirely? Are you hosting on self-assembled server racks? dedicated colo boxes? AWS slices? Do you want a slick Apache setup, or prefer nginx, or want some feedback deciding on how you want it all set up -- or just want someone to take all those worries off your hands and let you focus on your own strengths? Let's chat.

Also familiar with Ruby/Rails, HTML, CSS3 and some popular frameworks, shell scripting, MySQL, and am generally a quick study. I'm interested in moving more toward the dev end of the spectrum, so blended projects are especially welcome.

Oh, and I actually enjoy writing thorough documentation. Twisted, eh?

Fairly easily, I should think; since when does any police agency entrust its secrets to its confidential informants?
That may be true, but Todo MVC is a minuscule "application"! It can be used as a way to compare libraries and frameworks in a very superficial way but when you're writing a large web application with many screens, a lot of state, many widgets, lots of routes, various persistence mechanism, etc.

It doesn't have enough features to require or demonstrate the abstractions needed to eliminate boilerplate.

That being said I like what you did with Riot which is basically use plain JavaScript as much as possible. And I also like to you bring attention to the fact that jQuery doesn't cause spaghetti: programmers cause spaghetti.
So your assertion is that Massachusetts has an unusual aversion to signing up in the first month that the rest of the nation lacks?
False. Google uses parents aggressively through its wholly owned subsidiary, Motorola.
Agreed.

In Chicago, 10 over would be slow. On the tollway that skirts Chicago, the limit is 55, but 80 is not uncommon.

I think the speedup is kind of a natural thing. When commuting, everyone on the road knows the road and conditions very well and are all in a hurry to get to the office or home. And from a practical standpoint, this speed tends to maximize the overall flow of traffic. And the thinking is that you stand out on the road in the rural area, but in the city, you are one of zillions.
Issue #1:

Arguments object has no method `slice`.

I'll send a PR as soon as this makes it to Github.

In all seriousness though, I completely agree with you.
Does no one remember the late 90's bubble?
> In July, HHS inked a $33 million contract with PR giant Weber Shandwick. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid had already signed a $3 million and $8 million contracts. Porter Novelli also has a $20 million contract with the agency

There are contracts with traditional marketing agencies to market through traditional channels (presumably TV and print), although they're waiting until the site is fixed to actually turn the machine to full throttle.
No, the date is Dec. 15th. If your one of the apparently millions whose plan didn't meet the new guidelines then you must sign up by Dec. 15th.
I doubt anyone at Google was thrilled about dropping support but I suspect this was an unavoidable conclusion they came to based on the loss of support from the supplier of the CPU for the Galaxy Nexus.

The Galaxy Nexus uses a TI OMAP CPU and last September(2012) TI announced it was stopping development of OMAP solutions and shifting it's focus to embedded processors. In November it then laid off 1700 people in the OMAP division and moved everyone remaining into their embedded division.

This was around the time Jelly Bean was released and probably before development on KitKat started. Considering how tumultuous layoffs and reorganizations are, it wouldn't surprise me if any engineering support Google needed from TI fell on deaf ears. This leaves Google in a very awkward position.
I agree that data is preferred, but we can also look at it another way. There is no incentive to sign up before December 15th. All plans signed up before then start Jan 1. With all of the talk about the technical limitations, I think people are right to wait a month until people aren't ranting about it being broken.
Spam control on email is nearly perfect, though. Spam control on my phone is much less so.
What does waste have to do with sharing vs. owning?

New York, New York- Java, Javascript, Big Data @ Conductor

Conductor is changing the way marketing thinks about SEO. Our Searchlight platform collects and analyzes more than 4 TB of internet search data each week. Clients use our data to create better content on their websites and optimize for natural search.

Collecting huge amounts of heterogenous data is not an easy engineering feat and we're leveraging some of the newest open source technology to make Searchlight. Java forms the backbone of our server side architecture with Hadoop, Mongo , Redis and Kafka running in the database. The client side of our stack includes Javascript, JQuery, backbone.js and handlebars. Engineers commit code daily, we push to production often, and we are quick to iterate to make our process better.

We're looking for engineers to join our Infrastructure and Applications Teams. Knowledge and interest in one or more of the technologies listed above is a requirement. Besides the technical stuff we like to hire folks who have a genuine curiosity in learning how stuff works.

You can take a look through our open roles and apply here: http://www.conductor.com/about/careers/engineering

Aren't you comparing conditionally-issued insurance with guaranteed-issue health insurance? The big problem I had with sites like ehealthinsurance.com is that a family using it to find insurance had a coinflip chance of actually getting one of those rates after completing an application.

The conventional story about Swedish wealth is a joke. In fact, wealth was primarily accumulated under a largely free market system between 1840 and 1970 or so. After that the welfare state started expanding in earnest and it has mostly been downhill from there, e.g. Sweden going from the fourth richest country to the fourteenth.

Yearbook Machine - London, UK (Shoreditch) - Graduate / Junior PHP Developer

http://yearbookmachine.com/jobs/graduate-php-developer

Yearbook Machine is a fast-growing technology startup company, supplying leavers' yearbooks to schools and universities across the UK and Europe. Since being founded in 2009 by recent Cambridge and UCL graduates who noticed a gap in the market when making their own leavers' yearbook, we have had considerable success: over the past two years our sales have grown more than tenfold and we are now the market leader in the UK. After a particularly successful academic year in 2012-2013, we’re expanding our development team and are now looking for an ambitious Junior / Graduate Developer to help us to continue to grow.

Your job will involve working on many different aspects of our software and technology systems. We’ve managed to automate a highly complex design process, allowing us to create customised book layouts at the push of a button. This has involved bringing together many of the latest and most exciting software technologies and combining them in new ways to build a genuinely innovative piece of engineering. While we won’t expect you to understand it all straight away, you’ll be given the freedom to work on whichever parts of the system most interest you, and will be supported by the rest of the development team in learning the best practices of modern software engineering. This will include opportunities to get involved with: front-end development using the latest OOP JavaScript frameworks, back-end development, DevOps and automated server provisioning using Chef and Vagrant, automated testing, continuous integration and automated layout design.

Working at Yearbook Machine is not the corporate grind: we’re a small group of like-minded, focused individuals working to create a product we genuinely believe in. We work hard but our environment is relaxed and friendly. Our office is based in a light and airy converted warehouse in central Shoreditch, which we share with another design startup. We're currently a team of just 6 people, 5 of whom are developers.

Requirements

- 2:1 above in Computer Science or other similarly technical degree subject
- Experience with OOP and at least some knowledge of modern software development paradigms such as MVC
- A genuine passion for technology: we’ll be interested to see what you’ve been doing in your spare time!

Benefits

- Highly competitive, above-market salary
- Generous stock options
- The best equipment: Your choice of computer and monitor(s) and a comfortable chair
- Job satisfaction: we make a product that is fun to build and that our customers love!

To apply, please email your CV and cover letter to jobs@yearbookmachine.com with the subject “Graduate / Junior PHP Developer”
Not just as a foreigner from what I've been told. Apparently it is a problem for Chinese nationals too and it often comes down to "ingratiating" yourself with the court and you'll probably find the copier already has them in pocket from last time. Corruption is endemic in some parts of the Chinese political/legal framework, much more so that what we complain about from our systems over here.
