SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote

This project is to create a Windows desktop application (compatible with Windows 7) that will connect to IQFeed (http://www.iqfeed.net/) and request streaming stock ticks for about 5000 stocks. When the program starts up, the user will upload a CSV file of the tickers that he wants to stream from IQFeed. The program will then request a streaming feed for those tickers. It will keep a hash table in memory that contains the symbol as the key and the last trade price as the value. The application will also act as a server and accept network connections from other clients to access the last trade prices. The other clients will send a simple message over TCP/IP requesting the last price for a stock, and the hub should respond with the last price in the hash table.

Performance is very important for this program. You'll need a good understanding of writing multithreaded programs in .NET, as well as writing low-level TCP/IP .NET networking code using either async or a separate thread for each client (there will only be a half-dozen clients at most). I do have example code of another program (in C#) that I can provide to you that does something similar for a different data feed service. We can also investigate using a WebSockets library for the hub-client communication, but System.Net.Websockets is unfortunately unsupported on Windows 7.

Experience with IQFeed or another similar stock market data feed is definite plus. Freelancers from anywhere in the world are fine. I'm located in the New York City time zone, so we'd need to be able to find a good time to have Skype calls that fit our schedules.

I worked as an assistant plumber one summer during college. I needed a job and my friend knew a guy.

It sucked. It was unexpectedly back-breaking work. (Granted this was for mostly new construction and not just fixing problems.) It was hot, and often smelled like urine since roofers would piss in the sump hole of unfinished units. The guy I worked for seemed to hate life and looked like a catcher's mitt from being out in the sun so much.

Though I enjoyed the physical challenge, that summer I really learned the value of getting an education. That said, if you hate IT, I'd suggest trying a few different things before jumping headlong into a craft you're not entirely sure about.

SEEKING WORK - Washington DC or remote

I have been a remote contract developer for about 4 years, providing end-to-end technological solutions. While most of my work involves web development, I also have experience with web scraping, systems administration, and technical writing. I love creating new applications, but am also great at maintaining and improving existing codebases.

I love working on Python-based projects (especially Django web applications), but I have considerable experience with other technologies and am always excited to learn new things. I've worked with clients from Austria to Australia, so I have no issues providing my clients with fast communication and rapid updates regardless of their location.

Ask HN: How do you decide how much hardware to assign to a project?
Is there a formula or a chart that corresponds expected number of users to a hardware profile? Yes, one way around this is to use cloud resources and scale as needed, but that's often not as cost-effective as a good hosting deal, or building and hosting your own servers.
It's HN material because it deals with the kind of life decisions IT people make every day, based around money and satisfaction of work and so on.

Besides that, there is almost not such a thing as "HN material." Within a super broad range, anything goes so long as it's interesting to the community.

I consider myself "full stack" but I am technically missing the bit where you use Redis or something between the web and the sql. I'm around a mid-level developer, I believe, and I prefer working in PHP with experience in Yii 1, Zend 1, Yii 2, and Zend 2. However, I'm a very quick learner. At my current job I commit myself to code reviews (via Stash pull-request) and Agile Methodologies (Internal variant of SCRUM).

I'm very passionate about proper database structures, realtime technologies, and excellent Android design.

Shoot me an email mentioning Hacker News and I'll make sure to respond to it. Thanks for your time :)
To be perfectly fair I think that, at least in the U.S., it's more fair to say that the "revolution" occurred even before the first British troops had landed, and was as nearly bloodless as it might be possible to be. The bloodshed came when British tried to regain control over a country already lost to the revolution.

----

My current role is Senior Front-End Dev for a small SaaS-development group that recently went through an acquisition. I've spent that last year or so on bringing an Angular front-end to our dusty old MVC2 app.

I love working across the full stack but my professional experience is definitely skewed towards the client-side.

Ideally, I'm looking for a position where I can branch out some and get more experience working with back-end technologies. I'm also open to senior-level front-end positions where I can get back to working with a small, focused team.
How to think about security at startups
P&G Plans to Shed 100 Brands to Focus on Top Performers
And I find "Yo" useful! I love Coffitivity, it is a little silly though. It's also really important and powerful in millions of peoples lives - Yo isn't quite at that point yet but it totally could be.

But they're both a little silly and it's not right (in my definition of right) for either to be trying to get clones taken down IMO.
I think it is absolutely acceptable (and good business sense) to re-submit to hackernews given a major update to re-engage the community and get feedback on new features etc. This, however, is pretty obviously spam.

My advice to jarvis if they want to stay regularly in front of this audience without spamming, is to only submit when a major update to the service has rolled out, or to create an interesting blog with valuable content and submit that to hackernews. Your brand can tag along with the content keeping you in front of our eyeballs.
This is why people who rely on BaaS/XaaS need to have some sort of contingency plan. There are too many paths a startup can take (death, acquisition/sunset, pivot, or rate increase) to not have some plan in place for when it happens.

Whether that's using cloud providers with open source code, holding proprietary code in escrow (think enterprise deals), or something else.

It doesn't take a whole lot of effort to plan for this ahead of time while benefiting from the XaaS.

New York City, NYC, NY @ Justworks http://www.justworks.com

Justworks is the best way to setup your companies payroll and benefits. We are a small but experienced team (only 4 devs counting the CEO) of startup veterans (Amazon, Etsy, Daily Candy) with previous exits. We are growing extremely quickly.

We are hiring across the stack, looking for people with solid CS fundamentals who are comfortable working on any part of the stack but specialize in one (front end, backend, devops etc.). This is a job that entails moving money around, so payments experience is great, but regardless you should be comfortable with the challenges that come with being responsible for customers' bank accounts and social security numbers. We are a rails shop, but don't require that you know rails or even ruby before coming here (I didn't and I turned out just fine).

We're especially looking for senior level people who are opinionated about their technology and the way their team works. We want people who want to contribute to the engineering culture of the team and are excited to help build a world class engineering team.
So why not stick to the CRUD apps of the plumbing world and focus on customer service and marketing?

Even something simple like giving customers a time when you will turn up and actually turning up near that time would put you ahead of 95% of tradesmen I have used.

I'd love to have a plumber, or roofer who took a few moments to take some pics of the work they'd done and uploaded it to a website so I could see what they've done and check progress - I'd pay more for that....

[NB We've had some awful experiences with plumbers - including phoning the police on one particularly awful outfit]
> they have to be on call 24/7 (or go out of business)

This probably depends on who you work for. Local plumbers service I used, which basically distributes work among its workers is available 8am-8pm only and still charges the same as everyone else. Waiting time 1-2 days for callout.

I'm looking for contract work as I want some extra flexibility for my family.

Industry Dive - Python/Django Developer (entry level) - Washington, DC - Full Time

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

We are a rapidly expanding mobile-focused B2B media startup. We have a staff of writers and editors who cover breaking news, curate interesting content and write original analysis for executives in industries like Education, Marketing, Energy, and Retail. See http://www.retaildive.com for an example and http://www.industrydive.com/ for more about us.

We use a variety of mostly open-source technology to create our products, but the core infrastructure is written in Django. You will be responsible for working with other developers to add features and fix bugs on our websites, especially adding features to the CMS that writers & editors rely on. Prior experience with Django/Python is desirable but not required.

The ideal candidate:

+ Has 1-2 years of relevant experience, or otherwise demonstrates
an aptitude for building interactive web sites.

+ Thrives in a fast-paced environment. Is good at multitasking.
Has great communication skills.

+ Is self-motivated and entrepreneurial.

CSS/HTML/JS web design experience is a plus. An interest in mobile (iOS/Android) app development is a plus.

Why working at Industry Dive is great:

+ Short development cycle - When we have a good idea, we like to
move quickly and then iterate once it's live.

+ Not the same thing every day - We're still a small company and
you'll have the opportunity to work on many projects outside
your core job description.

+ Great team - Work with a diverse team of people who are very
good at what they do.

+ We work hard, but we also have a lot of fun. And we definitely
believe in healthy work/life balance. If you're looking for
lots of crazy all-nighters, this is the wrong place.

+ It's a very exciting time for the company. At 2.5 years old,
we're exceeding all our targets and reinvesting everything back
into the company.

If interested, send a resume along with a brief note about why you think you'd be a good fit to eli-at-industrydive.com. If you have any question, feel free to ask.

OTHER OPENINGS: We are seeking a full-time front-end designer, a design/UX intern, freelance business writers/reporters, and people interested in media sales. I'm also generally open to mobile app or web developer internships. Email me to details: eli-at-industrydive.com

> Better be honest and say "... This is hard...."

This I disagree with. Telling someone that something is hard before you teach it to them is a self-fulfilling prophesy.

My wife is a native Russian speaker, and she is slowly teaching me Russian. I struggle when learning new languages, so it's easy for me to get discouraged when the progress seems too slow.

My wife often teaches me a few words at a time, and without fail, when she says, "This word is hard," before teaching it to me, it takes me the longest to learn those words.[0] It's like my brain, upon hearing that something is going to be hard, assumes that I'll forget it anyway, and simply turns off.[1]

If you are getting ready to teach a difficult topic, perhaps spend a little more time beforehand trying to find good analogies and approaches. Oftentimes, a topic's difficulty melts away when a student can make an appropriate connection.

Don't confuse the difficulty of teaching a topic with the difficulty of learning it.

[0] You might argue, "Those words probably are harder." That's a fair point, but in the hours before our wedding, I managed to learn how to say, "Я знаю что я никогда не буду голодным. [I know that I will never be hungry.]" On the other hand, it took me days to learn, "карандаш [pencil]" after she told me it was a hard word.

[1] When I recognized this phenomenon I asked her to please stop telling when she expects something to be hard.

It is funny how often that photoshoot come up, sometime as an ad hominem attack on him. Lets ignore the personality cult and massive nuclear arsenal to concentrate on his slighty chubby tummy. It is not interesting at all.
Ah don't get too mad at them. They have a responsibility to do these things so their shareholders don't pull them aside and give them an earful about "not doing enough". At least now they can say they tried. Even though it most likely will not change anything.

It's also another way to keep their name in the press.
