Likeable Local - Portland, Maine - Social Media Tools for Small Businesses

http://www.likeablelocal.com/

We at Likeable Local are looking to grow our team and seeking talented and motivated software engineers. You love numbers and analytics, or the front-end and making things look and interact beautifully, or both. You grow and learn every day. We are in Portland, Maine which is atypical for Hacker News, but is a great place to live! We aren't looking for remote workers at this time.

We are a tech-startup-spinoff of the award-winning (NYC-based) agency Likeable Media, and we are looking for people that are willing to jump right in and be on our small team creating features that will be visible and impactful and used immediately.

We are hard-working and smart, and we love to solve challenging problems. We use a lot of node.js, javascript, python, and django.

You want to be a substantial contributor and are interested in the full stack of technologies from details of server configuration, back-end, front-end, and mobile platforms. You are self-disciplined, self-directed, but also detail-oriented in your communication about what choices you make and what you are doing.

Our product is an integrated software solution that allows small businesses to create, enhance and manage their social media presence. Likeable Local was founded in 2012 and has a deployed product that integrates with Facebook and Twitter. The software is sold on a subscription basis, allowing for attractive recurring revenue economics, and is in use by dentists, dry cleaners, florists, jewelers, and more- and we continue to expand.
Interested? Email me at hugh@likeable.com and lets connect!
Yeah those poor high-tech workers have a really rough life indeed, it's time someone did something about it!

Notting Hill, London, England, U.K.

Our web application is at the heart of our busy and successful e-commerce business; every day it serves millions of product images and handles hundreds of thousands of user visits, but we can and do update the live site with new code multiple times per day without missing a beat. Our systems are written on the LAMP stack and deployed on Amazon Web Services using Puppet and Capistrano; 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. Our developers are generalizing 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, especially developers of all levels of experience.

Established in London in July 2007, Secretsales.com is the UK's leading private shopping club, offering limited-time online sales with current name-brand goods at deep discounts. Brands include fashion, beauty, homeware, and lifestyle categories, many of them familiar from the high street. The company has about eighty employees and a substantial annual turnover; it was recently selected to join the UK's Future Fifty programme for the country's most rapidly growing startups.

That depends on the question if you think it's OK for you to take the rights away from someone that you think are stupider than you. And if you think it's OK if someone who thinks they are smarter than you would take your rights away. If you think that'd be fine - then indeed there's no reason to legalize drugs, at least until people smarter than you decide there is. There's also no point of discussing it, since the decision lies with people smarter than you anyway.

But if you think people are smart enough to vote and to discuss public matters and to make right decisions for themselves - then there's no reason why decisions about what to eat and what to drink and what to inhale should be any different.

This is interesting.

Do you have any ideas why? Did google simply deem it not profitable enough to send their camera-vans round bratislava, or are there particular reasons that make it more expensive there (regulations of some kind, a fuck-tonne of bureaucracy to get permission?)
I've been using C# for close to a decade at this point (wow, wtf) and I'm fairly familiar with functional programming techniques - I use a lot of closures, immutability, and map/reduce patterns in my code - but F# is still really awkward for me to write and use compared to C#. Even if they can express the same things, and F# is more powerful, it's a far more inconvenient language to use for someone that hasn't been living and breathing ML for years.

Furthermore, in general F# seems to generate far less efficient code than C# does, and for the kind of development I do (games/multimedia) I'm not really willing to sacrifice even more performance just because some FP fanatic thinks C# should go away. Personally, I think the C# compiler and the .NET JIT should have a lot more tuning applied, and get things like SIMD introduced, but MS doesn't seem to care about that.

Writing code in C# also makes it accessible to a much wider set of developers. The overlap and shared heritage with languages like Java is definitely a plus, even if I don't like some of the shitty design baggage that comes with it. It's already a struggle to get the community engaged with my project, JSIL - if it was written in an obscure language like F#, it'd be nearly impossible.

Email hi @ josh.ml
No, I'm suggesting that "relatively open" is semantically null.

I don't know if you are familiar with the embedded world, but a large percentage of the offerings (specifically system on chip or SoC) have NDA requirements for the documentation.

And many of these platforms don't have a decent Linux port, even though they could support it.

Even with SoC vendors such as TI, the graphics core for the OMAP4 (for example) is a binary blob. There is no documentation for that, and no hope that situation to change (in part because TI has exited the mobile phone market).

Please tell us of your mobile platform experience, and what vendors you consider open or closed.

SEEKING WORK - Delphi developer (remote/onsite), Serbia

~10 years experience in Delphi. paunovic [at] gmail for more information.
> Cascading methods: that's a big no. The idiom is that if a method may change the state of the object then it should return None (eg `set.add`)

So methods that mutate state, and don't return None are un-Pythonic?

What about this example:

a = [1, 2, 3]
b = a.pop()

pop() mutates the state of a and returns a value that is not None. Is the Python code language itself un-Pythonic?

Seconding this. JetBrains has been actively maintaining Nemerle, and it seems like a great language. Why not give it a try?
This is an interesting defensive play. Blackberry's QNX and Microsoft's Windows Embedded are the incumbents. Both of these have suffered from neglect and are losing share.

Many IVI developers are developing Android-based products. Android provides a great, zero-cost platform with a rich UI and communications stack for interactive embedded systems.

Intel has been a GENIVI participant since they were a Meego partner, and there is a GENIVI-compliant Tizen IVI variant.

Apple needed to defend the position they have acquired with all those iPod car integrations on the market. They had to move forward or lose those conquests. I keep an iPod touch just because one of my cars has iPod integration.

Bratislava? Clicking on his link, I get something that looks like a suburb of Vienna.
People are selfish all the time. They threaten others with guns, to get cash. They blackmail, and coerce, and cheat. Smart people too.

Now, don't know if selfish irresponsible use of intoxicants rises to that level, but the argument can be made. E.g. alcohol laws are everywhere, and its not even a very good intoxicant.
I don't know how Intel operates. Did they start building a 90nm factory before they finalised the process of making a 90nm chip? Can they upgrade a 90nm plant to start producing 45nm, and will it cost less than half of the original spend?

As for pharmaceuticals - I'd expect their plants to a) be capable of producing multiple different compounds and b) equipment to be modular. Research & clinical trials are expensive, reconfiguring equipment to make newly discovered drug is cheap. Once proven to work, drug can be replicated fairly quickly and cheaply, that's why they push so hard against any patent law reform.
I wish I understood this translation:

"Against "self-esteem" Briers wants to make the concept of "self-esteem", meaning that they have no basis for their self-image, that you act in order to feel satisfied with their effort.

"If it were possible to wait for the man himself would come into a room," wrote British writer Rebecca West, "so there are not many of us who would feel his heart swell with anticipation when we heard the handle is pushed down."

It is a black and provocative image, but maybe it can be taken as the basis for our efforts to improve ourselves, trying to be such that one feels a thrill of joy when that door opens"

Yes, but the "Pythonic" way to do things is that "explicit is better than implicit," so I'm not sure what the original poster considers wrong with `return None`.
Laws and fairness are for everybody.
It feels like ssldump has been abandoned and is horribly out-of-date. Is anybody maintaining it these days?
> It isn't at all a good reason to switch to java, as java's equivalent would easily waste more time than even this rather embarrassing certificate problem with npm.

As someone who has used it daily for the past 5.5 years - not really. That said, I'd prefer something like Gradle, but I can't fault Maven for just working, goddamnit.

Exactly. The tech-industry is horribly naive. It operates based on the idea that the general public perceives them as those friendly shy nerdy guys from school.

How to Stop Giving a Fuck What People Think
I own some fast food restaurants and, for a short time, managed them directly, hands-on. During rushes, especially when shorthanded, you feel you are being crushed by disappointed customers filing in the door, and there's nothing you can do to make things better at that moment. When I realized that, I also found my answer. I can't make things better so I will only concentrate on what is in front of me and do the best I can; and the rush will end soon.

Everything I do, I do with personal pride, so when things go bad, it hits home. I also realized that most things aren't running as bad as you think they are cause you know how things are supposed to work but your customer only sees the result of your efforts.

When doing rote things under pressure, it helps to hum random notes.
Resin.io -- Full-time Linux engineer

Location

--------

Remote, or on-site in Athens, Greece

About us

--------

We are building a seamless code delivery platform for embedded devices (like the Raspberry Pi). Think of it as Heroku for the Internet of Things if you must. We've already ported Docker to ARM CPUs and have hit quite a few more Linux, Docker & ARM related milestones internally.

We are a company founded and led by developers and have a strong engineering-led culture. As long as there is progress, we are flexible with regard to location and work hours.

About you

---------

We are looking for Linux talent to work on our cloud services, deployed as Docker containers, but also to work on supporting arbitrary Linux-capable devices. The product is still young so you'll get a chance to have real impact on how the end result looks and feels to our users.

Besides strong Linux skills, familiarity with Docker will help a lot. Much of our codebase (on cloud and device) is in node.js so JavaScript skill is a plus.

The Process

-----------

Send us your CV (a pointer to source code online is a great plus). Those that pass a phone interview will receive a small but paid project as a test. If we like working with you and you like working with us, you'll be offered a full-time job.

Get in touch

------------

send your CV to hello@resin.io
In the first place, the concept of "legislation allowing [people] to avoid behaving" in a certain way is incoherent. Say what you mean.

In the second place, the concept of "we need to prevent people from doing anything negative to themselves" is not distinguishable from the concept of "where there are multiple ways for people to behave, all but one must be prohibited". In fact, it's not even distinguishable from the concept of "where there are ways for people to behave, all must be prohibited".
That sir is not a serious definition of 64k. We all know 64k == 65536 ( 2^16 ).
There's no disputing that. I'm just voicing the sentiment of main street hoping that we techies take it to heart.

The article is about the pseudo scientifical life advice that is popular. There is not much about religion. After a spammy first half a book is discussed which sounded interesting.

Religion is generally just not discussed in Sweden, which is the most non-religious country on the planet. It is considered a bit embarrassing to discuss faith, like your toilet problems or something. (At least Sweden used to be the leader. The statistics might be different after the large immigration wave.)

> The organizers of a rival conference, called TrustyCon, which was organized following revelations that RSA had been paid by the N.S.A., said they had spent much of the past weekend persuading executives from the Metreon — another big, downtown center next to the Moscone — not to kick them out of their conference space. The Metreon was set to house the TrustyCon conference on Thursday but Metreon’s management began to grow concerned after they received calls from RSA’s conference organizers.

> The RSA organizers warned the Metreon that TrustyCon attendees were arranging a huge boycott on their premises. In the end, the TrustyCon conference was able to proceed Thursday without a hitch.

So RSA tried to suppress free speech (which is what TrustyCon amounts to) by planting FUD to kill a business deal (the contract with TrustyCon's venue).
