Nearshore Software Development in Puerto Rico: Distance Advantage
Theater shootings and mass shootings, not really. But shootings do happen, sometimes over the dumbest crap, and by people you wouldn't expect ([EDIT: retired] police officer in FL in a theater, a veteran shot a woman at a gas station here in GA [1]). Shootings aren't nearly common enough, though, to justify a ban on jammers. But emergency situations do come up, especially in a country of 300 million people and some 40k theaters [2], each with several screens. It just strikes me as irresponsible and unnecessary to insist on such a hardline ban for the sake of shutting out a few rude jerks.

Making cars (and computers) more difficult to work on makes changes more expensive even if you rely on an expert. It cost $400 to replace the battery in my Mini Cooper because it's a huge pain. I would have done it myself and saved $300 except - it's a huge pain. See the problem? Having an easier car to work on also benefits people who depend on experts.

You might be in need of a complete branding experience covering everything from logos to stationery to social media graphics and email signatures.

Or you might need just a quick logo and a website or a slick new UI design for your latest app. Either way, if you need designs done, I'm your man. I have over 7 years of experience in designing brands and developing front-ends for apps and websites, a selected few of which are available for perusal over at my portfolio site[0] and on dribbble[1].

> Most URLs are human-readable enough that I think street addresses make a better analogy.

I'd like that to be true, but I think we lost that battle a long time ago. Google results aren't a readable URL; nor are products on Amazon or Ebay or anywhere else I can think of. Newspaper-type URLs are often "fake human-readable"; the URL is something like http://somepaper.com/12345-Local-Man-Found , but in fact http://somepaper.com/12345-Local-Man-Still-Missing will give you exactly the same story. Even HN stories aren't human-readable, just an opaque id number.
The video aspect of it seems like a fantastic feature and I think your point A is very important. At least for myself, I have friends and family that are far away and I love to talk to, and would love to have quick chats with more often, except that when we start talking it ends up taking hours, so I'm hesitant to get into it unless I know I have the time to spare.
Ask HN: Any companies looking for developers for expat positions?
Does anyone work at or know of any companies looking to hire U.S. citizens to work abroad?
Looks like the developer considered security and built it into the product but the customer asked to remove it:

Justworks - New York City NYC NY

Justworks is a payroll, benefits and compliance startup that helps businesses get up and running quickly with payroll that doesn't suck, integrated benefits (health, dental, 401k etc.) as well as compliance (EPLI, workers comp, filing etc.). We do all the hard, annoying stuff, so founders can get back to running their businesses. We were founded by former Etsy, Amazon and Worldpay executives, who have had successful exits in the past.

http://www.justworks.com

Justworks is looking for a full stack engineer with a focus on backend, processing, distributed systems, ops etc. This is similar to a Devops position. We move money around, so this is for someone who is comfortable with doing fairly serious engineering. You should be comfortable with basic tasks like running a migration and editing a small amount of business logic, but more importantly things like upgrading our boxes when stuff like Heartbleed comes out, building and maintaining monitoring infrastructure (we currently use Nagios and StatsD/Graphite) etc.

Justworks is an awesome place to work (please feel free to ask me any questions, here or contact info in profile). We're very early (only 9 employees, 3 eng) and we're really looking for someone who wants to have a large amount of ownership, is opinionated and excited to help build a strong culture, and loves what they do. Here is a link to the position.

What is the distinction between public and allows public guest use without registration? Yes it's MIT's network, but they were basically allowing public access.

Being pressured with multiple years in prison, 13 felonies and a 7 figure defense cost is a difficult problem to face. Even if your lawyer tells you 30 years in prison is not going to happen and worst case you'll be in prison for a year -- Even if he wasn't actually facing it - he was still being pressured with it (that's essentially the purpose of stringing together multiple charges for a plea).
To be fair, a screenshot of a tweet likely takes less space and loads much faster than an actual link to tweet.
It seems to be more of a regrettable alliance between chemical companies, conservationists who refuse to compromise when it comes to the environment, their elected representatives, and yes, a few Club-of-Rome type genocidal misanthropes who actually think that the planet is not big enough for everyone and so other people should have to die.

A conspiracy only in the sense that Julian Assange uses the word.

I hope your programs never crash, and in the meantime could you explain what

means? Perhaps you meant:

> Why do I get so many pattern matching errors because of -Wall?

These are incomplete-pattern-match warnings, yes?
This sounds like it could be a good fit for mobile on iOS (I can't speak to android). If the app has significant startup costs, this lets you basically save a core dump of those structures that were slow to build. Then you could have an alternate fast startup mode that reads from a core dump.

Tout.com - San Francisco, CA

Tout is hiring Ruby Backend and Full-stack developers.

We're an engineering team of 7, who work with a pretty flat structure. Our process is aligned closely to project teams, so we look for developers who can be the "CEO" of their project: work with product/sales to flush out requirements; work with QA to come up with a test plan; work with Devops to discuss scaleability and infrastructure.

You get to work on and take pride in every detail of what you work on.

We focus on TDD/BDD (rspec, cucumber/capybara/phantomjs, jasmine). We are working on a plan to go from 3 deploys a week to continuous deployment.

All of the usuals for a vc startup: very competitive compensation, health/dental/vision, catered breakfast every day, catered team lunch on Fridays, ping pong, musical instruments.

Apple is not a company with a configuration-retention philosophy (see e.g. recent Save As... changes). If that's really what matters to you you'd probably be better off with BSD, a more power-user-oriented linux (arch, gentoo, slackware), or even windows.
I agree except for "large complex applications need libraries like Angular" That is nonsense. There were plenty of large complex web apps before Angular and they worked fine. This sudden belief that web apps need a front-end framework is insane.

Where does it stand in multi-user scheme of work? Suppose I need to give several users access to a certain application running on a remote server.

An odd bit of the history of walking I recently learned about:

http://www.npr.org/2014/04/03/297327865/in-the-1870s-and-80s...

> We may think of baseball as America's national pastime, but in the 1870s and 1880s there was another sports craze sweeping the nation: competitive walking. "Watching people walk was America's favorite spectator sport," Matthew Algeo says in his new book, Pedestrianism.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedestrianism

> During the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, pedestrianism, like running or horse racing (equestrianism) was a popular spectator sport in the British Isles. Pedestrianism became a fixture at fairs – much like horse racing – developing from wagers on footraces, rambling, and 17th century footman wagering.[1] Sources from the late 17th and early 18th century in England write of aristocrats pitting their carriage footmen, constrained to walk by the speed of their masters' carriages, against one another.[2] By the end of the 18th century, and especially with the growth of the popular press, feats of foot travel over great distances (similar to a modern Ultramarathon) gained attention, and were labeled "pedestrianism".

> When you stop by the local coffee shop, do you take note of what its address is?

Postal address? No, but I do know (for example) I'm on Main street, in that tiny alley one block west of 4th Ave, in the building just left of that weird giant sculpture of a bird.

I'm constantly aware of and can describe my relative location, even if I'm not always capable of expressing it using an absolute designation like postal address.

On the web, though, there is no such relativity. One website is not near or far from or above or below another. I cannot conceive of my location, much less express it, in any way but absolute address.

So: since I do not travel to reach places on the web, how do I know where I am? The address bar.

Was hoping in his comparison of download size that he'd mention the total size of all included libraries. I've not used either yet (only watched some talks, etc), but have noticed a few times Yehuda argue that Ember is bigger because it includes a lot of functionality you would use 3rd party libraries for in Angular. E.g., if you add up all the libraries most people use with Angular, that are included out of the box in Ember, they'd be similar.

Does that hold any water?

Ad inventory supply is and always will be > demand. As such, their actions to make short-term revenue by banning publishers makes sense. It's basically recycling publishers, knowing the pubs wont be able to do anything about it. Obviously it hurts their brand but they're too big to give a shit.

All the layout features used in publishing are obvious requirements for a document layout technology, especially when folks from Adobe, et al, are on the relevant committees.

All the layout features used in applications are obvious requirements for web applications.

It's perfectly reasonable to leave out a lot of stuff from early versions of a product or standard, but we're a long, long way past that.

Assuming all I/O failures are EINTR is really, really odd, as if to say disks never fill up or fail and sockets never disconnect.

He does say:

> in a real program you’d have to do real error handling instead of assertions, of course

But somebody somewhere is reading this and thinking this is a "semantically correct pattern" (as it is introduced) and may just copy-paste it into their program. Especially when contrasting it with a "wrong way" I think it wouldn't hurt to include real error handling. And that means something that doesn't fall into an infinite loop when the disk fills up.

Sure. And if you display a count of the number of items in the list, you can update that with jQuery too. Are there other dependencies? Maybe if the list gets too small there's supposed to be a warning message or something shown? I can check the list size each time with jQuery and display/hide the message if necessary.

Eventually as these side effects pile up, jQuery by itself becomes a mess. You have a ton of checks and complex behaviors after each user event.

Or I can provide some structure on the front end so that I can model my data in a reasonable way and have the DOM respond based on changes to that model. Obviously for stuff thats mostly static, server-side rendering is better. But when you're displaying stuff that includes complex relationships and behaviors, modeling it on the client side becomes an important part of maintainability. This doesn't have to be complicated. Backbone is certainly not complicated. But it is the best option if you want to have complex UI behavior tied to an underlying model and need responsive UI feedback.
