I think it's sad because sometimes all people need is a friend with some time to listen to them. Outsourcing doesn't give that sort of warmth and closeness. It just says "I'm too busy to cheer you up so I'll get someone else to do it". No offence but I feel the same way about gift cards - if you genuinely know the person and you care about the person, you would have some idea on what to get them. I feel like relationships can be more meaningful if we put more effort into it.

It seems the Presenter example is pretty broken (unless I'm just stupid). I don't see a `todo` variable defined anywhere, but it's used in several places. Perhaps `var model =` was just missed in a rename?

Also, the "toggle all" function uses a `filter` variable that's undefined AFAICT.

I'm not trying to knock the framework. I like what I see. Just a little hard to follow along when I'm not sure if the code is wrong, or my understanding of it is.

The housing market and quite a few banks are effectively being taken over by Swedish banks. People are buying property but the mortgages are paying into the pockets of non national banks, so money spent to have a home in Lithuania is leaving the country to pay for social services in Sweden.

We do have a fairly long-standing issue to add collection of resource statistics while tests are running [1]. It has not yet been implemented, however. I do want to get that implemented sometime soon because I too would like to see CPU utilization (some frameworks do not successfully saturate all of the cores!), memory utilization, and IO utilization.

Android mobile developer with extensive experience working on an app that is one of the most popular in the Play Store right now. You've heard of it. I've also worked with YC startups in the past, so I have references if you need them.

I have experience developing UIs, networking frameworks, advanced camera work, OpenGL, and native C/C++/JNI level implementations. I've even hacked the Android source code to bend it to my will. If you need help on your app, or need someone to build it from scratch, I'm your man. I can even make sure, within reason, that it'll work all the way down to Gingerbread 2.3.

My Github is pretty sparse, as most of my projects have been private: http://github.com/HorizonXP

You should e-mail me, at least to discuss your project. Otherwise, reply here.

Codified Genomics - Houston, TX
remote OK
careers@codifiedgenomics.com

Software you write at Codified will directly influence healthcare decisions for thousands of patients. We're looking for experienced software engineers who are up to that challenge to join our small team (currently 2 founders and 1 employee).

At Codified your responsibilities will be wide - you will probably end up touching every piece of software we write, with an emphasis on our user-facing applications.

We have a large number of interesting projects under active development, spanning natural language processing, machine learning, user interface design and sequence analysis.

Skills & Requirements
We're looking for software engineers. We are currently using GWT (Java) and MySQL with some scripting in Python and deploy to a Linux (CentOS) environment. We will need you to rapidly be productive with these tools if you are not familiar with them already. Additionally, you'll help us grow our team over the next few months as we continue to add engineers.

A willingness to learn is more important to us than a Biology background, but the position will require you to become familiar with the Biology that underlies what we do.

About the company
We write software to help clinicians interpret exome sequence data from their patients. To do this, we aggregate large amounts of additional data on individual genes and variants, and apply a series of proprietary algorithms. We’re a young company (founded in March 2013) that is profitable with our existing customers and continuing to grow.
Insane, tilting on the criminal side.
I still find it really surprising that I was able to write the Todo APP in least amount of keystrokes by using only 1kb of "framework" code.

And I totally agree that the goal should be readability and maintainability – this is what the post is mostly about.
There isn't very much to see here, if anything. A few meaningless microbenchmarks, and some "plain old JavaScript objects" that hijack jQuery's event subsystem so they can emit events just like DOM elements. We've been doing imperative, evented programming in the browser for years now.

Even if you're inclined to argue that this style of programming doesn't lead to a giant mess (and I'm inclined to believe that it does, even if you are the most disciplined of programmers) I still don't see the benefit of adding this 1K of JavaScript to my page at all. I can duplicate $.observable with a vanilla jQuery object.

To call this the "most powerful client side framework for building large scale web applications" is downright laughable.
I had not seen that before, thanks!. The only thing that concerns me about glog is this statement: "The code in this repo is for export only and is not itself under development. Feature requests will be ignored."
I'm impressed because having read that book (did you?) I have an idea of how much work went into planning and preparing for the task. If a diamond heist was as equally elaborate and was pulled off successfully (with no one hurt) then yes I would probably be equally impressed.

I wouldn't consider not getting caught their biggest feat by any means. I think there is probably a larger risk of hurting someone than getting caught in the method and approach they used. The feat is in anticipating and minimising the risks they were taking.

I think whether or not you believe what they did was right is irrelevant. You are allowed to be horrified by what they did and yet still acknowledge that it took a huge amount of effort and dedication.
How is it that the poor need protection from the rich? It seems to me, the most imminent danger to the poor is the government: it sends poor people, who don't have money for lawyers, to prison for victimless crimes; it violates their rights by spying on them, exercising unchecked force; it requires numerous expensive licences to start certain kinds of businesses poor people could start. Why would the poor need protection from the rich and from what kind of actions exactly?
No time for death. Too busy smiling.

"This book will teach you that there are more than just emails, phone calls, and urgent issues."

There are more what? Or did you mean to write 'there is more'? In any case, it's a weak statement. Of course there's more, what about just programming?

The only information I get from that introductory paragraph is that the book is about saying no to certain things in a zen way.
In general, Go has a sort of "good enough" or very pragmatic philosophy. It offloads strict enforcement of non-sharing between goroutines to the user and community best practices, but provides no compiler enforcement, which would be very difficult due to the fact that the entire rest of the language is mutable.

Erlang's design was driven by much stronger philosophical principles and an unusual initial use case (phone switch programming).

I'm not saying either is necessarily better and worse. The end result is that Go is a much more mainstream language with a lot of refinements, and Erlang is the sort of bizarre-but-oddly-useful language you get when a strong philosophy is carried through to its full logical conclusion. (See also Haskell.)

If you really, really care about compiler-enforced safety, Go is not a good choice. Not only will it let you shoot yourself in the foot, it won't really do that much to stop you. (Indeed, this presentation is almost terrifying from the perspective of an Erlang programmer, so many ways to screw up with the compiler only noticing a handful of them: [1] slides: [2]) However, if you're sort of interested in the sorts of things that can give you but aren't ready to put on the hair-shirt (a metaphor from the Haskell community), Go has some ways of putting your toes into the water and getting some of the practical benefits without a ton of the theory, for instance: http://www.jerf.org/iri/post/2923 . (Only some though.)

I wouldn't underestimate the power of "just a paycheck". It does warp your world view when your livelihood depends on it, and you may not even realize by how much. Also, you are surrounded by others who believe what they are doing is right (whether a priory or similarly warped).

So basically, the conversion to the simple splash screen of the app did not work as expected at launch.

It's good copy writing and the corresponding HN traffic that got the users.
The first 7 words of this post's title are worthless. Why do people feel compelled to use marketingspeak? Now the discussion here [I'm guilty of this too, now] is about those words instead of the content of the article -- which is actually a decent read. Meteor is interesting and has a ton of potential, and Phusion Passenger support is a great step forward in its production readiness and future adoption rate. I would love it if we could just focus on that.

EDIT: ok, now I understand. It is a joke, because all this long article boils down to just one sentence, repeated throughout the article itself: "You don't need a framework for that."
I assume you mean reverse-proxy caching and not back-end caching. Not all use cases are suitable for reverse-proxy caching. Blogs, news sites, and the like are very suitable. Applications that are heavily personalized or work with private data are unsuitable for reverse proxying.

Our test cases are explicitly concerned with exercising performance when reverse proxying is not suitable, for whatever reason. If reverse proxying works for your use-case, definitely consider using it.
