I think you'll find that remote developers' salaries vary as much as any other worker. I work remotely for a company based in NYC. My employer based their initial offer on the average salary for software developers in the city that I lived in at the time. I countered for much higher ($135k) and got it. Now I live in San Diego, which has one of the highest costs of living, but I feel the tradeoff is worth it.

This company also hires lots of developers from around the world, in places with much lower cost of living and I suspect their salaries balance out, so to speak, with mine and the local NYC employees.

Exactly. It decreases your overall footprint online, but you can still have access to it if you want it. I did a short note to our users here: http://portableapps.com/node/42106

I made a post elsewhere in this thread about it but it was downvoted. I'm thinking about packaging it up as a Drupal extension (what I run) as well as a raw package on github in the hopes that someone will be interested in doing a WordPress extension as well. There are a few posts about doing this online, but none tried to fully mimic the convenience and look of the standard buttons, so I thought folks might be interested.

I applied there a year or so ago but haven't checked their postings for a while. Thanks for the reminder!
Actually, what they call “red” is just a very orangey red.

Already, sRGB’s FF0000 is quite definitely on the orange side of neutral (I tend to call the sRGB primaries “orangish red”, “yellowish green”, and “purplish blue” for clarity when trying to explain technical aspects of color to non-experts).

So when they push toward an even oranger color, it starts getting silly to still keep calling it “red”.

Actually in general, the palette at clrs.cc (while it might have been carefully be internally harmonized) is not all that close to the labels that typical English speakers attach to those color words. For instance, what this palette calls “olive” is much closer to neutral green than what it calls “green” (and is entirely unrelated to the color people typically call “olive”).

Additionally, there’s such a dramatic variation in saturation (technically, “chroma”) between colors in this palette that I don’t think they work especially well together. Some of the colors are muted and others are crazy colorful. This is what happens when you only pick colors at the very edge of the sRGB gamut.

Why Most Unit Testing is Waste
Full Stack Developer – Denver/Boulder, Colorado (Contract, Remote OK)

Talent Standard is bringing adaptive learning to corporate training resulting in faster and more effective learning for everyone. Our first product is applying adaptive learning to complex financial model training and targets teams in banking and finance.

We are democratizing business knowledge because our hypothesis is that given the necessary knowledge and skill, a person’s potential is unlimited.

We are seeking an experienced mid-level developer to develop the full-stack (front-end + middleware including API integration + data layer) of our first product iteration. Stack is Python + Django + PostgreSQL + Nginx + Ubuntu. Our process revolves around Github for versioning, Pivotal Tracker for sprint planning, continuous deployment to enable rapid iteration, and thorough analytics for real-time feedback. Team is fully remote, but meets up in person for planning. Contract opportunity with cash compensation.

> > Strings are an implementation detail which should be abstracted over.

> That's exactly what PHP does -- PHP doesn't care what representation a value has. But that is also then the source of it's strangeness.

I don't know if that's a valid use of the term "abstract", but it's certainly not what I meant. Rather than passing around low-level values for as long as possible, and only interpreting their contents when forced to (eg. when "+" forces them to be treated numerically); instead, I meant interpreting values as soon as possible so that they're treated as the appropriate type.

> An HTTP request, specifically an encoded GET or POST, all values from the browser are strings.

Again, they're only represented as strings. When I use an "order" parameter in my application, I want it to be an Order. I don't want it to be NULL. I don't want it to be a string which may-or-may-not be the numeric ID of an Order which may-or-may-not be stored in my database. If it's not an Order (eg. if the "readOrder" function I declared as the handler for this parameter returned [] instead of [$the_order]), the request is malformed so a HTTP 400 response should have been sent. My application should never even start if the data it needs isn't available.

Of course, that's exactly what "dependency injection" is in the OOP world; it's also a major use-case for the Reader monad in the Functional Programming world.
I like the set, but I thought that the reasoning for the web safe colors was not that they were a "good" choice for web design, but that they were empirically likely to be rendered consistently across all types of display, even uncalibrated.

Scribd (YC '06), San Francisco - VISA, FULL-TIME, and INTERN are all welcome

Scribd ("Netflix for eBooks", top 100 website, 60 people) is hiring talented hackers of all kinds to help us build the library of the 21st century.

We've hired EIGHT full-time people and TONS of interns from these "Who is Hiring" threads ... it really works!

We're looking for people who want to work with:

* Ruby on Rails (we're the #2 largest rails site, after Twitter)

* Javascript (well, we use Coffeescript)

* iOS OR Android (we're a top 10 eBook app with more reviews than Wikipedia, with a small mobile team)

* Machine Learning / data mining / recommendations - think Netflix prize, but for books!

* Product manager and design (UI or UX) roles too

* Internships: junior standing or above for all areas of engineering. We hire several interns every summer and year-round.

That said, we care way more about your personality and general hacking skills then what languages you've used so far, so if you haven't used these but want to break into mobile or web development, this could be a good opportunity for you. We've hired people from these threads with everywhere from 0 to 10 years of experience.

We're profitable, very well funded and have a really fun office environment (go-karts + a rock climbing wall!). Scribd alumni have gone on to found 4 other YCombinator companies, more than from any other startup. We think this says something about the kind of people that we like to hire, and we love hiring people with entrepreneur and startup ambitions. We are also always looking for international people interested in moving to the US and can help you secure a visa.

You can read more about our "Netflix for Books" service here http://wrd.cm/1dJquzz or check out our tech blog at http://coding.scribd.com

More info is at http://www.scribd.com/jobs, but as a HN user, feel free to apply directly by emailing me at jared at scribd.com.

Thanks for the mention. I was happy for the new Ripple project because it is a good implementation of my original vision for an open, decentralized payment network. Now there's a fork called Stellar, which uses the same software, and so is also a good implementation of the original vision. The difference between Ripple and Stellar at this point is down to distribution strategy for the underlying cryptocurrency of their platforms, which, from my perspective, is just an implementation detail. I'm just happy to see smart, motivated people working on this.
