SEEKING WORK - London UK, Remote

I'm a full stack developer based in the UK. I have experience with HTML, CSS, JS, jQuery, Backbone.js, Angular.js, Node.js, PHP, MySQL, Version Control (Git and Subversion) but I'm happy to take on projects that will require me to learn new languages / technologies.

I'm passionate about what I do and care deeply about my craft which results in high quality applications with a great UI/UX.

I pride myself on being a trustworthy and reliable no-fuss developer.

Part of the problem with billing as a software engineer is that our work is easily offshored. You can't hire an offshore plumber for $5/hr and if you could, I'm sure plumbers would get a lot more people upset at them charging $100/hr.

Also, I don't think it's fair to plumbers, mechanics, electricians, etc. to say their jobs are a lot easier than programmers. It all depends on the project. Setting up a Wordpress site is probably comparable to installing a new exhaust. And the industrial electrician rewiring a factory is probably comparable to the software engineer setting up a new SaaS site.
> Because there are no forces of Russian federation, probably apart from some Spec Ops, logistics and reconnaissance units.

Or in other words, Russian military forces have invaded a neighboring nation, unless there is permission from Kiev for such uniformed armed forces to be on the sovereign territory of Ukraine?....

As far as I can tell, your link [1] implies that the only reason Kiev is using air strikes or artillery is because of the presence of hostile military forces in their sovereign territory.

So, yes, I would suggest Russia should "abandon" the people of Donetsk and Luhansk (and for that matter, Crimea), return to its own sovereign territory, and then the fighting will stop as there will quickly be no hostile forces to launch artillery or air strikes against.

You implied with that link [1] that Russia intervened only after Kiev started committing atrocities against people in Donetsk and Luhansk, but the order appears to be completely opposite.

> I actually watch Ukrainian mainstream television and recently one of the experts was openly talking about the need to "physically eliminate about 1.5 million of civilians of Donetsk and Luhansk regions that are not able to fit in Ukrainian Nation" [2].

> And he didn't get fined or jailed for this words, or even challenged by the TV host.

He wouldn't be fined or jailed in the U.S. either, due to the First Amendment (although maybe you could make a good case that it's "hate speech"). Does that make the U.S. "fascist"?

Maybe the TV host didn't challenge him because his comments are already so backward and idiotic as to not need further emphasis.

And either way, are you trying to imply that some random asshole on T.V. spouting their stupid backward opinion about a million people he's never met, is justification enough to invade the sovereign territory of another nation. I mean, even Bush 43 tried to put a better case together than that when he went off to disaster in Iraq...
I feel for you bro, I only have a "for fun" project that I used GoInstant with.

If You look for alternatives, Parse and Firebase are two good alternatives.

Front End/Full Stack Engineer

Employee Life - Perth, Australia - Full Time (remote)

We are an Australian startup who are developing a simple cloud-based social platform which helps employers, managers and employees stay on track and improve day-to-day performance.

We are currently expanding our small development team (All remote workers) by trying to identify talented engineers who love working with the stack below. We believe a commited hard working team player is required to fill this role because in a small team we really do “wear many hats”.

This will be a full time role (ongoing) and we believe it is a great opportunity for the right person, as we are starting to gain some real traction.

Production experience essential in the following -

Node.js,
Angularjs,
Mongodb,
jQuery

Good knowledge in some of the following might also help but is not essential -
Linux,
AWS,
.Net,
PhoneGap,
bootstrap,
MVC, MVVM, OOP,
REST API Development,
Elastic Search,
Nginx

Workers in Eastern Europe, Asia and Australia will find this ideal – due to timezones – but we'd be happy to talk to anyone who fits the above.

It is, but it's slower. You typically have to say something, and even typing "yo" takes more effort than using an app specialized for it - and when all of human language is available, people often aren't comfortable just saying "yo". Instead they may feel compelled to type out "Are you available now?"

Using an app makes it okay to just send one bit of information. It can be done in two presses: one to open the app, one to ping the person.

Please note I am not arguing that Yo is worth the money invested in them. I do, however, think that many of the comments went too far in the other direction to say the idea has no utility.

Living in fear is a wretched state though, yet many many religious doctrines are based in fear, condemnation, hate, for anyone outside of their church or religion.

If you believe that victims of suicide are consigned to hellfire for all eternity, you might as well go to their funerals and preach to all of the friends and family who loved them that their loved one will suffer eternally from now on. Victims of rape, violence, neglect, abuse, poverty, other types of trauma, people with serious mental disorders, or anyone who wasn't lucky enough to survive their first suicide attempts (i've survived at least 4 myself), don't get any more chances and deserve to suffer, because God is always just and fair.

To many of us that have decided to reject religion, such a seemingly at-odds message (God is just and fair, but life is unfair, and some people just don't get second chances) is despicable and insane. It's people trying to assuage their own fear of the unknown, and guilt for their wrongdoings, by subscribing to a cosmology that of course they will be forgiven for their crimes and attain everlasting happiness and utopia, but everyone else is damned. A number of religions, and sects within religions, maintain exclusivity for their beliefs about who gets into heaven and who doesn't, yet adherents always believe there can be no doubt that they themselves are correct and everybody else is wrong.

I choose to believe that if God exists, He/She/They are at least as just and fair, compassionate and loving and forgiving, as the best human has ever been. If we devote ourselves to good deeds and works, not judging and condemning our fellow man, nor resting on our laurels and often arbitrary convictions, then we are more likely to find favor from any judge weighing the value of our lives and deeds, and the trajectory of our hearts.
It still means less jobs netto and this is only going to keep declining.

Senior Backend Engineer - Fanout (http://fanout.io) - Mountain View

Fanout makes it easy to build realtime applications and APIs. We operate a distributed cloud service for delivering data in realtime via a variety of transport mechanisms: REST, HTTP streaming, WebSockets, Webhooks, XMPP. Useful for creating applications like chat, sports updates, stock tickers, games, and collaborative applications.

You're a backend engineer who is passionate about realtime technologies, network protocols, and open standards. You hate silos and walled gardens. You have opinions about when to use event-driven vs threaded programming patterns. You lie awake at night thinking about how to optimize out network round trips. You might even know assembly language, or did in a past life.

Also, our code is almost entirely open source! You should think that's pretty incredible. http://fanout.io/open/

Important pieces of our stack: C++ & Python/Django, ZeroMQ, Mongrel2, Redis.

Your job:

- Help us build out and scale our distributed cloud service.

- Squeeze the most value out of our servers.

- Make the service bulletproof.

- Gloat about how you get paid to code publicly on GitHub.

Who: K2 and Associates.
We're one of Canada's more successful hedge funds over the past 13 years.

We are building out our algorithmic trading infrastructure and you have a chance to get in at the ground floor.

Come help us turn our technology team from an integral part of how we do business into a profit center with its own PnL.

You are a developer who can take an academic paper and turn it into a working prototype because what you are designing won't have been done before.

You value correctness above all else because when you send 100,000 orders a day if you get 1% of them wrong, bad things will happen...

You are comfortable with F# or C++.

If you love a challenge please reach out to me at cholliday@k2.ca or my email in my profile.

Yes civilizations bounced back in the past, but not industrialized ones. I have no doubt eventually people will build new cities and civilization. But they won't be industrialized. They won't have access to natural resources like we did when we industrialized. Some information might survive, but it will be mostly useless without the resources or established infrastructure to use it.

Over the generations, more and more of the knowledge we've accumulated will be lost. The culture will change further and further from the one that led to our civilization.
Fixed, high demand combined with a low offer explain the high price.

Contributing to reduce the offer of work capacity is that handyman, plumber, gardener and related careers still rely on experience and apprenticeship to qualify people (as opposed to easy access to formal and informal information sources in IT) - how does a subredit for plumbing compares with stackexchange, moocs and all sort of tech manuals availabe?

On the other side, IT gets other forms of compensation, such as a greater sense of "doing something with your life", and that is one reason it can pay less than plumbers. N.B. I'm not saying one can't feel accomplished with a plumbing career, but it is far less common to find one such person than it is to find someone who finds a IT career fulfilling.

You could also say the IT market is just better/more efficient and that there is way more liquidity on IT work than plumber work. If you have a stock and someone is attempting a aggressive takeover (that is, one agent in the market intensely needs what you have), you can ask more than market price and still sell. In plumbing, the client often faces similar situations. Other factor is that there almost always is a time pressure and the client does not have perfect information, calling every plumber in town to gauge prices has a cost in time.

Concluding, I still wouldn't go for plumbing. I (personally) wouldn't be fulfilled with such a career. More relevant is the fact that $125 is probably the most you will ever be able to charge (correcting only for inflation, some fluctuation on demand or offer) while on IT, the cap is likely higher (I don't know the market you are inserted in, but plumbing is more commodity than IT)

CTO & Developers

At Typeform, we're trying to invent a new way of filling out forms that makes it easier and more fun to fill out forms. If you check out our examples[0], you'll be surprised on how easy it is to fill them out.

We're constantly trying to find developers that have an attitude of learning new things, fixing bugs in a good way together with refactoring and to improve our platform. Your work will be highly independent which requires you to have a high level of architecture design and also be able to work without something telling you exactly how to implement something.

We work mainly with PHP (Symfony2 mostly) and JavaScript (Backbone mostly) but that is not a hard requirement. Most important that you have determination and a drive to learn more about the stuff you work with.

We require you to speak english and to come to our office and work.

FullContact - Denver, CO or Riga, Latvia

We're a TechStars Boulder 2011 company focused on fixing the contact information problem. Our mission is to make contact management a thing of the past. We're still a small company (<35), but looking to make key additions of important team members.

We clean, deduplicate, and search for contact information millions of times daily and maintain billions of records.

We've been on HN for our Person API which turns an email address or social handle into a full profile about a person (minus private contact info, e.g. phone/email/things we haven't seen publicly). This API has billions of indexed profiles and crawls public sources 24/7/365.

We have massive challenges to solve, in usability, simplicity, scale, and raw smarts. It's not easy to maintain billions of records, link them, and dedupe others automatically. But we want it to be stupid easy for our users.

=> I want:

* Smart new team members I can learn from and teach. Our company is all about learning, and every person has something to offer. You don't need to know our stack.

=> If you:

* Like to keep shipping, but work sustainably

* Be respected and respect others

* Simplify

* Be candid

* Trust each other

* Keep the BS to a minimum

* Build open-source software

* Work on a world-class JVM stack that doesn't have too many skeletons

* Java/Scala/Clojure

* A little Go too, but sssh. ;)

* And perhaps a smattering of Python

* We do like our tech, but only in the pursuit of "getting shit done."

* Like to work with some of the most interesting (and dangerous) data in the world, and lots of it. We take privacy super seriously, and you should too.

* Are creative. All of our positions require excessive creativity and out of the box thinking.

* Have experience with programming. We don't require you to know Java or Scala or Clojure, but that's a plus. Smart people can learn quickly.

=> And would like benefits such as:

* Unlimited vacation. As long as you aren't screwing your team (or vice versa, we all need a break)

* World-class healthcare. Seriously, I haven't seen coverage like this anywhere else. It's insane.

* Power-day policy. Take a day off, make it up elsewhere. Somewhat vestigial with our unlimited vacation, but it's a good way to take a day off with almost-zero-notice for days when the slopes are killer.

* A healthy work-life balance.

* Going to industry events. If you want to talk to me, I'll be at Cassandra Summit with my team members, one of whom is presenting his work on a Cassandra SSTable reader for Hadoop.

=> Then we have a few positions that may be of interest:

Engineers:

☆ Android Developer

☆ Data Engineer

☆ Senior Software Engineer (come work with us!)

Crucial product/sales/design:

☆ API Account Executive

☆ Applications Product Manager

☆ Product Analyst

☆ Director of UX
