What they're doing here is monkeypatching the language runtime. That's not trivial in most languages, least of all ones which typically rely on a centralized install of that language runtime to function.

The way they did this, only the program that needs this fix is actually using their monkeypatched Expressions library; other code on the same system - other libraries in the same application, even - will continue to use the standard .NET runtime classes. That's a pretty powerful capability, and not one that is necessarily made easier by an open language runtime.

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote

Rails full stack, focus on front end

I've been building two mobile-first Rails web apps using contractors for the past several months. The apps work and I have a good senior back-end Rails developer working for me adding new features. But I now need a new senior front-end Rails developer to help me upgrade/reinvent the UI/UX - particularly, making the apps look better, easier to use, faster loading, the flows more intuitive, and helping user onboarding. I need someone with very strong HTML5/CSS3/JS development skills for Rails apps to build out my ideas and improve performance.

The developer needs to be able to make changes directly to the Rails apps, including adding and changing automated Capybara/Test::Unit integration tests. Consumer-facing UI/UX design experience and interest is a plus, but is not required.

I'm looking for someone full-time, paid hourly, to work with me and the back-end engineer in a very agile, collaborative way, to improve the product and get it launched. I need the right person for at least 2 months, hopefully more.

I'm a self-funding, hands-on, full-time sole founder, with a strong business and computer science background. I'm based in Silicon Valley, and I need 1-2 hours overlap of working time each day for collaboration via live chat (HipChat).

The stack:
* Rails 4
* Bootstrap 3
* Javascript and JQuery. No front end framework currently in place
* PostgreSQL (relational) and DynamoDB (NoSQL) databases

It's mostly a server-side Rails apps that need some JS/JQuery for user input, validation, page transitions, widget integration

Target:
* Primarily HTML5 mobile web - primarily small screen sizes, iOS and Android devices
* It needs to work (but not necessarily be optimized/responsive for) desktop and tablet too

Tools:
* Git for version control
* GitHub for code hosting
* Code Climate for automated code quality review
* CodeShip for automated testing
* Heroku for app hosting
* Amazon RDS and DynamoDB for database hosting
* Amazon CloudFront for CDN
* HipChat for chat
* Trello for project management

You mean like "conserving" your beliefs against "progress". Hmm. Seems like we should invent some sort of political system where we can "conserve" on one end and have "progress" on the other end. They will meet in the middle and get absolutely nothing done. Brilliant!
While I know what you're getting at, I think of it as pretty accessible. It assumes a little familiarity with terminology, but since the goal is to use CT as a tool to "see" the structure of various mathematical objects it doesn't demand a whole lot of the reader in terms of background knowledge.

I suppose I should have begun by stating that CT is a new lens on the world and any reader interested in understanding it needs to have the, typically mathematics-derived, patience to really slow down and re-evaluate the way they view some friendly concepts. But I think even with that the "Socratic" rhetoric employed is helpful.

So, I totally agree but even if it's a bit off a waterfall it's not one that I feel too bad about encouraging people to jump off of.
For sure, those who complain about Microsoft not being open source are obviously trying to cover the fact that they are bad at reading assembly language.

SEEKING WORK - Ottawa, Canada or remote

I’m a designer with a CS background that helps startups – 42 (W14) being one of them – seeking UI help for their existing web product or reaching MVP.

Not only will I help solve your business goals but I’ll save your team time & money since I can integrate my work in most Node and Rails environments, including experience with Backbone and Angular. I’m pretty flexible and use a variety of tools, such as: Grunt, Slim, Jade, SASS, Stylus, Sketch, Adobe CS, InVision. I’m a hit with developers.

I work through my one-man web & UI design consultancy, INFIL/EXFIL. It’s a young business and thus far my clients include 42 (Y Combinator, W14), Benbria (Wesley Clover) and a few more in secrecy.

WujiBrainwave – A Personal Brainwave Feedback System
I think there's reason to believe that ADTs are both a major component of "getting" Haskell and a major topic in their own right of significant size beyond Haskell itself.

Dude, that's not a DLL, it's a pile of half-digested scripting language. Real men patch in assembly.
Better late than never I suppose - IMO the NYC launch was not very well executed. I didn't end up taking any rides opening night, but watched on the app throughout the night.

Supply basically vanished immediately - whether that's from extreme demand or insufficient drivers (or both) I'm not sure, but by about 8pm literally zero available drivers were in Lower Manhattan. You could not get a ride on Lyft on opening night - whatever the cause this is a pretty extraordinarily poor user experience.

Surge fare also kicked in, which IMO should've been turned off during the launch period. It also wasn't clearly communicated - on the NYC subreddit numerous people complained about "mandatory tipping" without realizing this is analogous to Uber's surge fares (which are well-known locally).

Overall the opening week was a poor showing for Lyft. Maybe this new program will turn it around, but at this point IMO they're playing PR catchup - anecdotally public interest in Lyft is pretty low around here.
They released Brain Training DS in JP and EU about a month ago for the Wii U.
Which is especially silly in this case because there is some pretty cool research that comes out of Walmart Labs. Most of what's relevant to me is the applied crypto/searchable encryption stuff.
I actually learned some Haskell during my CSC degree, and it was actually a language that I took to really easily and enjoyed. I actually went home and made sure I could write haskell programs at home. It's been 8 years now though and for the life of me I've never been able to think of something I'd use it for.
Disclaimer: I'm a comic reader.

Agent's of S.H.I.E.L.D. starts out pretty bad. Very flat characters, often cheap plots. About half way through it became good though. It's low-power, so no worries about super heroes.

Capatain America 2 you need to watch for the last third of the show to make sense ;)

Guardians of the Galaxy will be the first comic movie I'm really looking forward to. It's not a superhero comic at all and the main characters have a personality closer to the firefly crew than anything else (That's assuming they are staying close to the comic).
> The stability of incumbents is an inevitable result of government corruption.

It's a two way street. Are the incumbents so sad to kill off smaller, dangerous competitors, by being bffe with the politicians?

In general, the problem is not big gov. The problem is not big biz. Its "BIG".

True, but such a normalization is not unique. That is, one language or the other can come out as "more powerful", depending on the normalization chosen.

About me:

I'm a software engineer with 8 years of experience, of which I've spent the past four consulting. Now, I'd like to get away from the hectic consulting lifestyle :) I'm fairly language-agnostic, as I believe in using the right tool for the right job, but I'm excited about Elixir, Objective-C/Swift, Go, and hybrid application stacks.

I'm looking for a product engineering role or a similar full-stack position where I can contribute both on the frontend and backend. I've been learning design on the side, and it would be great to put those skills to use. I'm interested in products revolving around mobile, collaboration, messaging, B2B, SaaS, etc.

I have a lot more we can discuss about, so email me if interested. Thanks for looking!

P.S. At this time, I'm interested in more established companies (i.e. with a shipped product, and ~20+ employees).
I think it is pretty good for developers. Depends on exactly what you want to do, but if you're into java, I can hook you up with a couple of companies that are hiring (datalogix, rally software). The BDNT is a great site to visit to get a feel for some of the startup scene: http://bdnt.org

Eh, I'm pretty apathetic to superheros have a dislike (possibly disdain) for comic books. I still enjoyed those of those movies that I have seen. (I liked the first Iron Man the most; and thought that The Avengers was quite good but nevertheless incredibly overrated).
I've very rarely heard of shops running forked, re-compiled runtimes for languages like python or ruby.

Normally if you find a bug in the core you might try to monkeypatch but many times that won't work so you have to suck it up and just work around it.

I think you're safe watching Iron Man, the Avengers, Captain America 2, and maybe GOTG (I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard good things). I would skip SHIELD. It's just a B sci-fi series that's inflated by its association with the Marvel universe.
Cross-compiling and Canadian-cross isn't fun but isn't that bad. There are good projects out there to help in the process. http://crosstool-ng.org/ is a good project that can make it much easier. They have Canadian-cross support but I haven't used it.
