PHP or Front-End Developer INTERN - Washington DC

The agency I work for, Engage (http://enga.ge), is always looking for young developer talent. Our dev team is pretty badass (and not just badass for an agency, but in general). We do everything from WordPress sites to our own products to custom web and mobile apps, with a strong tilt towards custom social apps (Facebook targeted sharing especially). I'm proud of our portfolio -- check it out here: http://enga.ge/work/.

Anyway, we are looking for a college student with back or front-end talent (PHP/MySQL or Javascript/HTML/CSS). Must be in the DC area or willing to relocate; foreigners welcome as long as you can secure a J-1 or have an F-1.

To apply, please send an email to jobs@engagedc.com with the subject "Developer intern from Hacker News" (we're giving HR a heads up). Include your resume, GitHub/portfolio link and a brief description of why you want to work for us. Hope to hear from you!
That still gives game makers perverse incentives. They'll profit more if they make their levels too hard and too annoying. No matter how much they claim to do the right thing, there's no real way to prove it either way, and the presence of the perverse incentive ensures that most game makers in that situation will do the wrong thing.

So no, that would defeat the point of this. If perverse incentives are not removed, they will pervert things.
My problem with every todo solution I've found is that the workflow is so personal, and often fluid - sometimes my workflow can change from one week to the next. I keep going back to plain text as well for those reasons, though not from /etc/motd...

My "solution" at the moment is a series of text files in a Dropbox folder coupled with a small webapp that lets me edit it with Ace (for when I'm out and about) and that applies a bunch of custom filters (to create highlighted priority indicators etc.) + markdown. So all the workflow is in my head / manual, but I get syncing to my main locations plus some visual cues to improve over just plain text.

What If You Combined Co-Working And Daycare?
I once watched management totally destroy a developer's passion.

As bad as management's actions were for me, the absolute worst thing was watching the change in this guy. Before, he would constantly seek out every way to improve the customer experience and go above and beyond. He turned into a guy who literally said "I don't give a shit."

Almost every person I've ever worked and every job with has been passionate about doing their best, unless actively stopped from doing it. The one or two who didn't could not have been filtered out by any kind of interview question because they knew how to bluff their way through the process. But you can tell after working with them for a few months that they just try to do the minimum necessary to not get fired.

An attempt to recruit for passion is a bad sign. You can't recruit for good morale, either.[1] Either your company is a nice place to work or it isn't. Either your company will bring out the passion that almost all developers have or it will destroy it.

[1] Yes, there are assholes who destroy morale, just like there are total clock-punchers. Sometimes you can tell by having a normal human conversation, and a normal human conversation should of course be part of any interview.

If you are are trying to find the liars, assholes, frauds, and professional slackers, you need to realize that

1) they have you vastly outmatched in this contest unless maybe you are bringing in psychologists trained in this,

2) there is a social cost from treating your prospective candidates as if they are one of these things.

pfft. IAP? Dude's talkin about the 90's like it was the genesis of gaming. Arcade games did IAP back when we were feeding those big machines quarters in the 80's. "Oops. You got this far and died. Want to continue? That'll be one more quarter please. 20.. 19.. 18.." The gaming world didn't end.
It is but most of those module are not written like that.

For example Python's eventlet and gevent are based on greenlet. Greenlet is based underneath on large select/epoll/kqueue/poll loop. So there are callbacks for IO readiness there. However they manage to do some tricks to hide that away behind green threads at the user level. So a user can say: " authorize() ; check_database(); charge_credit_card(); update_database(); send_response()" logic properly for each request for example. Without having to split that logic into a chain of callbacks just because some of them might involve at some point making a socket call.
With "www". That makes it a lot easier to add in CDN support, DNS based load balancers, and a ton of other tools down the line.

Why? Because you need your domain root to have all sorts of other stuff in it- MX records, SPF keys, and various other things. A lot of CDNs and DNS based tools work really well by utilizing CNAMEs, which you can't do on the root. Putting your website on "www" keeps is as a separate isolated service and makes adding those services easier down the line.
Office 2013 is also idiotic, and arguably worse than VS when it comes to caps. In Office 2013, "random" elements are capitalized, with no rhyme or reason. It doesn't mean they're clickable. It doesn't mean they're action items or titles. There's no sense I can find.

The fact that the betas had wildly different casing seems to point to some designers holding the product to their whims, instead of based on any sort of intelligent thought.

I hope these are not "errors" like splitting infinitives, using conjunctions at the beginning of sentences, or putting prepositions at the end of sentences. Because those aren't real errors in English grammar.
When I worked with radiologists (at a PACS vendor, mainly selling to the military and the federal prisons), the radiologists and staff were exercising due care about minimizing radiation exposure from CTs.

Personally, I don't care about regular x-rays, particularly digital ones, for any reasonable medical use. I get one every year or two as part of a checkup.

CT and C-arm fluoroscopy scare me, as an educated person who isn't a doctor but knows more than 99% of people about radiation safety, and I'd want there to be a clear clinical need and decision supported by them. Which is the standard I saw applied. (I never actually saw a c-arm procedure) In extreme trauma you might err on the side of a CT in 1/100 cases. but that's not a big deal.
What does booting to the desktop have to do with anything? Out of all my Win8 annoyances, having to click the desktop tile is probably at the end of the list. Without a start menu, doing full-screen context shifts to launch programs is just annoying. The dumb metro-style things for, say, WiFi connector (a whole huge side of the screen, instead of a tiny popup, with less functionality than before) -- all that stuff is what's annoying.

Booting direct to desktop seems as pointless as adding a start button that launches the full-screen thing. No one was asking for that. So either MS is incredibly obtuse, or they think they're going to fool people by pretending to have changed something.
CT Scan doses vary wildly depending on the type of X-ray (chest, head, limb, etc.), the size of the person, and a lot of other things. The bigger the cross-section of the thing you put in a scanner, the greater the exposure. CT machines themselves also vary considerably. Newer machines are often more sensitive and employ better imaging software, so they can do their job while delivering a much smaller dose. Anyone who quotes a solid number is probably using one that's absolute worst-case, which probably means a chest scan on a fat dude with a CT machine that's been around as long as disco music.

Personally, I like to think of medical imaging in terms of how long I'd have to work as a flight-attendant to get the same dose. When you fly at high altitudes (as most passenger jets do) there is less atmosphere to block cosmic radiation, which is the source of background radiation that we're exposed to every day. You get a higher dose of radiation at high altitudes amounting to a few tens of microsievert's for a decently long flight. Medical X-Rays that consist of a single photo are approximately in the same ball-park as an intercontinental flight or two, or working as a flight-attendant for a day or so. CT scans are in the ballpark of several months working as a flight-attendant. It sounds bad at first, but flight-attendants aren't known to have a massively increased rate of cancer after doing the job for decades.

In general, people fear radiation to an extent that is out of proportion with reality. To add more perspective, the background radiation in your living room will add up to a CT scan, most likely, in less than a year (unless you live in very deep mine). You can marginally improve your odds of getting cancer by avoiding medical scans, but only at the cost of massively increasing your odds of dying from something those scans might have helped diagnose. It's not an intelligent trade-off. Yes, unnecessary CT scans are bad, but not as bad as the article claims. The greatest cost of an unnecessary CT scan is probably to those who don't get scanned due to high demand on the machine. This article, by stoking irrational fears of medical imaging, is more likely to harm people than help them.

Note: Medical imaging is generally not done very often, is tracked, and is usually performed by trained technicians with quality apparatus. The same is not true of security X-Ray scans, which people can be subjected to much more frequently, are frequently performed by the near-unemployable, and use machines that are not designed with the primary goal of helping those it scans. The U.S. is also starting to use truck-based scanners to scan parked vehicles and people on public streets. You may be scanned by these not only without consent, but without knowledge. I do find this to be objectionable.
Market share is another metric like this in my opinion. The local newspaper owns its market completely. I bet advertisers get given all sorts of impressive stats. I bet they count me and both my neighbours as readers, despite all three copies going from the letterbox, up the drive and into the recycling bin (or the fire in winter).
Why would a free game with ads (and no IAP) not be "honest"? Doesn't sound right to me...
...because your scenario and /u/161719's are somehow mutually exclusive?

To the contrary, I think the eventuality described in TFA is almost necessary for establishing the corporatist state you fear.
1) the original post was not made on /r/conspiracy, it was crossposted there after the original was inexplicably deleted and the user banned
2) the federal government does use threats to coerce people to snitch on their peers
3) the federal government has in the past and is currently prosecuting journalists in leak investigations, with jailtime being a possible outcome. If you widen the scope you can see that they actively suppress journalists overseas who raise inconvenient facts about US policy.

I can sympathize with your position. But I think effective action requires one to be clear-eyed in one's analysis. In my own analysis I see two mostly independent threats. One is a genuine threat (the coming of plutocracy), and one is a threat that feels more theoretical than pressing. That's just my analysis. Other people will come to their own conclusions.

I do full stack web dev, with either Clojure or Ruby/Rails. I did Rails work full time for about the last year, and have been working in Clojure for my side projects for the last few years. I like writing clean, testable, composable, pure functions where possible in whatever language I happen to be working in. I can build a basic responsive UI with bootstrap, but I'm not much of a designer, and I'm decent at Javascript (and Clojurescript), but prefer backend work.

And weaken your body is one way to allow cancer to spread quicker.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/27/stress-cancer-gene-...

If you think cancer is all about radiation, you are wrong..
Newer machines are at least reducing the radiation. This is due to better compute power and to better sensors (essentially a mineral which converts x-rays into flashes of light which then get captured by a photodiode).

It's been huge in dental x-rays, going from film to CR/DR (although dental isn't huge, it's routine, and involves a large patient population including kids.)

We probably will be <5 mSv for whole-body pretty soon. Ultimately there's no reason it can't be well under 1 mSv.

Fluoroscopy on the other hand is easily 50 mSv/min and multi-hour procedures (!!!). People get acute effects from that.
Because those are often made in such a way that during normal gameplay you will accidentally tap on the ads.

I'm not sure what this even means.
In the school mentioned in the article, there was a significant decrease in bullying. But we don't know absolute figures before and after (understandably, that is difficult to measure).

Two thoughts:

1. Perhaps the effect of loosening the rules lasts only a few years. After that the playground gets boring again and the bullies resume their behavior.

2. There might be other factors too, such as the environment of the kids when they are away from school.
I've written about the results we've seen from more rigorous recruiting, too.
Not to mention that lots of the top google answers on things date back to forums posts in freaking 2005 or so with answers that are worse than useless.
There may not be "shades of gray" as far as the legality and fact of copyright infringement goes. But morally, it's certainly not so clear cut. A 14-yr-old me pirated Photoshop and used it to screw around with some filters (I've got little artistic talent) and whatnot. There's certainly no harm done to Adobe in that case - I wasn't gonna buy Photoshop for a total few hours of playing around. Someone living in a poor country that simply could not afford the software is in a similar position. It doesn't harm Adobe, but locks them in further - just like Microsoft benefited greatly from piracy, too.

It's still illegal, but there is clearly different levels of morality. If a large, profitable, studio was pirating software, that's sorta sleazy. People that legitimately can't afford it, eh.
Good catch. Once they are added though, it feels a lot more readable than the "bind" alternative.
You should Google unknown phone numbers before calling them, because there are a lot of shady people out there. This isn't guaranteed protection, but a lot of times if they're a habitual scammer, their number will show up on Mr. Number, Dirtyphonebook, 800notes, or other similar sites with some info about them.

You'll be amazed at how spammers operate and how often they succeed. I tried to warn my father about answering unknown numbers, but he was one of the ones stupid enough to fall for the "Microsoft called me to fix my computer" scam. (the only reason it didn't work is that he couldn't figure out their instructions to give them his credit card, but he was trying to) :(
Top left is really no better than bottom left. But anyone who actually cares can drag and drop the start menu to whichever screen edge they prefer.
That still makes no sense.

If I want to know whether to do a CT scan, the only relevant fact is the increase in probability (in an absolute sense) of cancer that it causes.

It seems like either you, or the entire field of medicine, is obfuscating this basic fact using some field-specific concepts.

EDIT: It seems like you are referring to relative risk (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_risk). But as I said, there is no reason that relative risk should be considered in this case.
However the fact that large companies are usually averse anything new would make that difficult.
I should also add the the sad truth about state violence is that it doesn't cost anything to those who order it. Taxpayers, the ones this violence is being used against, are paying for it. Problem is, they usually don't recognize this fact. A more effective way in the extreme case when government orders a crackdown would be to stop paying, not go and protest. You can get in trouble either way, but in the latter case the state wouldn't have any excuse that "you started it".
I don't know much about medicine and radiation, but is intensity a factor? Could getting x amount of radiation in 60 seconds be a bigger danger than the same amount of radiation spread out over days or months?
I think the only comparison that makes sense is the benefit from the scan.

So if you are certain that the benefit of the scan is, no matter what the particular case, going to be worth much more than a 1/1000 chance of getting cancer, then that is a reason to ignore the risk.
Yeaaah, I am not the only one. It was the good old time! Each new version after the MX was a deception, damn Adobe.

You switch to what?
Piracy is actually fairly common. One of the dangers with an iOS game is that you have to make sure that your per-copy expenses are low. For example, if the game requires server capacity, you must make sure that the lifetime cost of the server per user is much lower than the purchase price, because pirates will cost you money without giving you any. There's at least one well-known failure due to this problem, and I'm sure it influences lots of other games without being obvious.

However, it's still really different from piracy on the PC, because the piracy is still limited. With the exception of per-user costs like above, it doesn't matter how many people pirate your game. What matters is only how many people pirate it instead of buying it, and the high barrier to piracy on iOS means that most of your potential buyers won't pirate.
It's more that ANG pilots were active duty military pilots who were great pilots but wanted to have a "real life" rather than remaining in the military. The best pilots stay ANG; the lesser ones are more likely to separate entirely. Older pilots are generally better, anyway (due to more experience), especially in the military which does "up or out".
