SEEKING WORK - Brighton, UK. London, UK. Remote.

Freelance developer based in Brighton in the UK (50 minutes from
London). I am flexible, resourceful and reliable and I can help you
turn your ideas into reality. I can build mobile and web apps as well
as fun things involving custom hardware.

I'm available to do work myself but I also have some great people I work with if
you need things quicker or with an even wider range of skills.

I work a lot with Python (often with Django) and JavaScript (Node.JS
and browser) to build rich client browser based and mobile apps. I
also do hardware based projects, I have experience with coding in
Assembly and C on various micro controllers and Arduino development.

A very non-exhaustive list of technologies I have built real things
with (and enjoyed): Python, JavaScript, Django, Node.JS, Backbone.JS,
AngularJS, OpenCV, D3.js, Arduino.

See my portfolio site at http://tomparslow.co.uk for an internet controlled football playing robot and various Python, JavaScript and hardware projects that I've worked on.

Some fun stuff I've made recently:

- A solver written in Haskell for the regular expression crossword puzzle that was going round recently https://github.com/almost/regex-crossword-solver

- An open source JavaScript library I wrote: https://github.com/dharmafly/jsonpatch.js

- The Amazon Glacier support I contributed to Boto (popular Python library): https://github.com/almost/boto/tree/glacier/boto/glacier

I'd love to talk about your project. Please do get in touch!

Timehop - http://timehop.com - New York, NY

We're looking for backend engineers, devops, and designers. You can read more here: http://timehop.com/joinus

We write a ton of Golang and Ruby to support our recent amazing growth (see: http://j.mp/TimehopGrowthGraph).

Timehop is building the place online to connect with friends around the past. Whereas Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram focus on the real time, Timehop focuses on anniversaries and bringing meaning and relevancy to old content. We have MILLIONS of users opening the app every day and signing up a user ~every second

We recently became consistently a top 50 US iPhone app, surpassing Tumblr, Yelp, Foursquare and GroupMe in daily downloads.
This seems really amazing. This workload pattern matches almost all of my small projects.
I believe it has to do with the way US dollars are traded on the world market. In effect any bank holding US dollars has to hold them on US soil which, by default, brings US dollar transactions under US jurisdiction.

> What if you are a fireman and you need to get to your shift? Can those burning people wait?

There's no particular reason emergency service shift changes need to be synced to the common business day -- indeed, my intuition would be that accident timing patterns would make this a bad idea independent of traffic impacts -- but there's also no reason that employers with employees for which they have strong fixed-time needs couldn't subsidize (or, in the case of public necessity where the employer is the government, exempt) their employees traffic fees.

> Can everyone dynamically shift business routines due to "demand"?

Yes, they can -- but, of course, there is a cost (which varies from situation to situation) in doing so. Of course, there's also a cost -- particularly an externalized cost born by others -- of traffic. If you effectively internalize the external cost (i.e., make it born by the people making the decision to engage in the action), then behavior should reflect the true costs and benefits resulting from the action.
You need a certain level of arrogance to think that you are right despite everybody thinking you are wrong. If you are threading new ground, you need it to succeed. For example, all those startup creators are arrogant. They think their ideas will succeed despite knowing that they have 99% chance of not succeeding.

Your reaction is an irritating trait of our western societies. Almost all our hero figures, all our geniuses, are arrogant assholes. Almost everything on TV is about a guy winning against all odds, our business geniuses had all crazy business plan, ... Yet, we despise the same people if their plan does not succeed.

Take a guy like Zuckerberg. Drop out of school to build your startup with borderline illegal business tactic, that's genius. Do the same and fail and you are an obvious loser that deserved what he got and should be happy not to be in jail. This mixed signal the society is sending is annoying.

There are financial system problems. If we don't value engineer our products to rapidly fail, the mfgrs will go out of business and we won't have any ovens.

So imagine a "super oven" that is rust proof and thermal shock proof to tolerate high humidity cooking. Someone is going to figure out that running that dude dry means it'll operate theoretically for 500 years, and 90% of the home cooks will be too lazy to ever fill the distilled water tank anyway, so 50 years in or so, that mfgr will go out of business, and no new ovens.

There are some examples in the automotive world, where in the old days when farm trucks were really farm trucks and not marketed as a macho station wagon for starbucks runs, some people bought them for 100% asphalt use anyway, because they'd last 25 years if treated better than farm trucks. That value engineering epic fail has been fixed for decades now, but in the old days this was a serious problem. Ford had no problem selling commuter cars that would rust out and require replacement in 3 years but they couldn't figure out how to keep farm trucks on the farm and off the roads for 20 years, back in the 70s.

A lot of people are missing the point with these large sellars accepting bitcoin. It's not that they expect sales to explode but rather they want to experiment and get a feel for how it works.

There will be a time where crypto-currency will be as normal as paying with credit card or cash.
They are likely to also be forbidden from dollar clearing for a time, possibly up to a year. This is an unheard of penalty and is actually very punitive. It's a new strategy by the US prosecutors and there was a good Planet Money podcast recently on what it means. Essentially, because we control the reserve currency of the world, we control the ability to transfer foreign currencies into dollars. This is a very powerful thing to control and being restricted from dollar clearing will likely be pretty painful.

"If you are planning to do this (I certainly am), don't forget that the T2 instances do not include any local (instance) storage and that you'll need to use one or more EBS volumes instead."

I find that bit a bit of a shame as we deploy using local instance storage only and avoid EBS.
A crucial missing data point is that Coinbase does all their transactions off-chain. If you send Bitcoin via Coinbase to a friend, it doesn't get reported on this chart. They have their own accounting system.

Bitcoin at its current stage cannot handle many transactions, as you point out. However, this doesn't mean there isn't a plan to make it handle many more transactions. See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Scalability for more.
Your experience is directly contrary to my own :-)

Of course I worked in the Chicago office so maybe it was due to being a remote office. But I and my colleagues regularly disagreed with senior people. Sometimes we were wrong and when we got more information realized it. Sometimes we were right and when we presented more information on the problem those senior people changed course.

Both of us are working of purely subjective experiences though so neither one of us can really comment on Google as a whole.

Remote File Upload Vulnerability on WordPress MailPoet Plugin (1.7+m downloads)
JavaZone's summary: "Explore the disconnect between the dire outcomes for dynamic language programs predicted by advocates of static typing, versus the near absence of type errors in real world systems built in Python, Ruby and Clojure and the many successful systems built in dynamic languages.

Some programming language theorists would have us believe that the one true path to working systems lies in powerful and expressive type systems which allow us to encode rich constraints into programs at the time they are created. If these academic computer scientists would get out more, they would soon discover an increasing incidence of software developed in languages such a Python, Ruby and Clojure which use dynamic, albeit strong, type systems. They would probably be surprised to find that much of this software—in spite of their well-founded type-theoretic hubris—actually works, and is indeed reliable out of all proportion to their expectations.

This talk—given by an experienced polyglot programmer who once implemented Hindley Milner static type inference for “fun”, but who now builds large and successful systems in Python—explores the disconnect between the dire outcomes predicted by advocates of static typing versus the near absence of type errors in real world systems built with dynamic languages: Does diligent unit testing more than make up for the lack of static typing? Does the nature of the type system have only a low-order effect on reliability compared to the functional or imperative programming paradigm in use? How often is the dynamism of the type system used anyway? How much type information can JITs exploit at runtime? Does the unwarranted success of dynamically typed languages get up the nose of people who write Haskell?"
+1 good point. If I were the IRS, organizations producing GPL (or AGPL) licensed software would look more like an educational 501(c)(3) entity than those producing software under Apache or MIT type licenses.

I am not saying I like one license type more than the other (I use both GPL and Apache, depending on the project).
Even though BNP is a foreign bank, it has to have a license to conduct banking in the United States. If they refuse to co-operate, the US will cancel that license. Given the amount of fine they are willing to pay, it is clear that the US business is important and profitable to them.
Actually Go interfaces map pretty well to a concurrent (and likely networked environment). It's often straightforward to put a network-based implementation behind a Go interface type. When was the last time you saw a web service that is parameterised by a type?

That's true, and every time a new company begins accepting it, there is a slurry of stories about it in tech publications.

I'm surprised more retailers, particularly those specializing in tech, haven't begun accepting bitcoin. They can accept it on terms they dictate and it's easy publicity.
From what I read about this case the US threatened to withdraw BNP's US banking license. So even though the US does not actually have jurisdiction, they can choose to prevent a bank from trading in their country if they don't like their actions.

$9 billion is hardly 'getting away with anything'...
Grats on the progress. I know how painful the journey can be, especially when you feel like you're only so far away from being able to do so much more.

I'm kind of in the same boat, which is that I generally learn things quickly, but the hand-eye coordination aspect of guitar has proven to be a whole new degree of difficulty. It's not surprising when you think about it, but at the same time, watching somebody play something that looks easy and then being unable to replicated it is a nightmare. It took a long time to learn that their ease is simply indicative of the talent they possess, and not as much my lack thereof.

As pertaining bad habits, I've found that a lot of them are self-correcting as you add more songs to your repertoire. I originally learned to cheat the A chord (barring it with two fingers, instead of either barring the three notes with one, or fingering the three notes with three fingers) because my early training hadn't built up the finger strength to do otherwise, but trying to learn Jane's Addictions "Jane Says" made that an untenable situation, and forced me to learn it the right way.

That's no indictment of an instructor, mind you... I've used them, and they're invaluable, especially in their ability to craft exercises that correct bad habits, or help to improve on your weak areas -- you'll never get that out of a YouTube video... but I think that the defining factor between feeling crappy and feeling like you're making progress is good, constructive practice. Practicing the same three songs over and over again will of course be beneficial, but not nearly as beneficial as practicing a different three songs each week, and/or progressively learning new techniques.

+1 for sticking with it.
