The beautiful thing about it is that you have no way of telling, and that there are a lot of people who earnestly believe it.

It's also quite plausible, given the up and coming category of web-based mobile OS foreshadowing it.
FanJam - http://fanjam.com - Haskell Engineer
Remote OR in Chattanooga, TN

Do you love sports & programming? At FanJam, we're building a new kind of fantasy basketball game on web and mobile. Were a small team with backgrounds in startups, consulting, and venture capital. Our team shares a love for either sports or haskell, but we all share a common love for building the best work place.

In this role, you'd be mostly working on our backend in Haskell, developing core components, features and infrastructure. We're looking for people experienced in building large software projects in a functional programming paradigm. You write clean code using a modular approach. You care about things like good API design, know what REST is and how to use its principles (and when not to).

We invest in our people, and team build through whiskey, basketball games, and hack weeks. We keep the fridge stocked, stay as transparent as possible, and will buy whatever resources you need to keep learning (books, screencasts, etc) We're still a small team, so this is a great opportunity to have a big impact on the product and our culture. We're looking for people with a passion for their work with high standards. Ideal candidates have a demonstrated experience hacking stuff; code samples are best (GitHub, a personal website/blog, previous projects are all great).

Skills were looking for

• Proven experience in Haskell or other functional programming languages.

• Familiarity with Javascript is a big plus, since that means you can handle our client-side too when necessary.

• Being able to get things done and to ship code.

• Experience with large code bases and structuring code in a modular way.

• Affinity with the web, browsers and new web technologies.

• Familiarity with basic development tools: you know your way around git, bash, grep and sed. You're not afraid to write a shell script to automate some stuff.

• Have a good sense of humor and leave your ego at the door

• A desire to get better every day

Engine Yard - Fulltime, REMOTE

Frontend Engineer

We're one of the oldest PaaS's out there, with support for PHP/Ruby/Java/node.js and both AWS and Azure. Earlier this year we launched a brand new user experience from the ground-up -- a new website and a completely new client-side interface. As a Frontend Engineer, you'd be working primarily on the latter.

The UI is written using angular.js served up by a lightweight node.js api proxy server. We use jasmin/protractor/selenium for our tests and only accept green builds via travis to be merged to master. Through our "eybot" on slackhq, we deploy stable code to production multiple times a day.

The UX engineering team at Engine Yard consists of 3 UI designers and 4 engineers (including myself). We're spread out across 8 timezones (Dublin through San Francisco), so experience working in a distributed team is key.

You'll get:

* Competitive salary
* Full medical, dental and vision benefits
* 25 paid days off per year
* 401(k)
* We take care of your phone bill
* Paid travel to conferences

Must haves:

* A passion for writing great software to solve real problems for real people
* Demonstrated experience building complex client-side applications in
JavaScript, preferably with angular.js
* Experience working in a distributed team
* The strong belief that a feature isn't finished until it's tested and, where
appropriate, documented
* A fantastic sense of sarcasm
* Ability to travel occasionally (at least once or twice a year)
* Somewhere between UTC and UTC-8

Great to have:

* Thorough understanding of git
* Experience building REST apis
* Experience with multiple languages (and an understanding of their tradeoffs)
* Experience with agile development
* Previously worked at a startup

If you're interested, shoot me your info at cewing@engineyard.com.

With 4OD and Sky Go it won't be about security/stability - it will be about them worrying that you'll somehow either skip adverts and such and/or have an easy way to permanently download the streams.

The advertising/tracking thing is presumably why 4OD refuses to operate in incognito mode in Chrome (I see no valid more technical reason).

Moreover, a European employee is generally way cheaper than an American one, the corporate tax is often cheaper, if they were really driven by costs, they would simply have relocated (at least outside of Silicon Valley).

Looking at the numbers from Google Trends, I'd argue that Drupal may have gone too far in its quest to make everything configurable through a UI. It makes, in a lot of cases, for very complex UX.

The bottom line for us was that the compromise Drupal was offering (you can semi-code in the UI, but still need to rely on some custom coding for some glue) wasn't serving us well anymore. The Developer Experience was getting worse at each iteration.

I also don't feel it was ultimately serving our customers; most features are overwhelming, and it usually took a lot of training on our end to make the end-user not too unhappy.

Ask HN: Someone is harassing me online, using my personal info. What can I do?
Hi everyone,

I am the admin of a relatively large forum site, and recently had to ban one user. Without going too much into the details, the user got extremely heated and researched my personal information online, found my CV and also where I'm currently doing my PhD studies. He has also built a blog site recording all my personal info/phone numbers/family members, etc. and sending them to my supervisors with a request that I be terminated due to unethical behavior. As I'm currently in Germany, you can imagine how this might cause a lot of confusion with my superiors.

So my question is, is there anything I can do to stop this individual? I have some basic information about this guy which I can report to some authorities (list of IP addresses, email address) but as he's located in Egypt, I'm not sure there's any good that these will do. Really looking for some help in dealing with this matter, and talking to this guy directly will probably not solve anything (maybe even just make it worse since he'll think he's winning).

1. Rioting: The police want to be able to see where people are. People who live in the area just want to get home.

2. Shopping trips in places where old buildings have been converted. Knowing that the lane you want to walk down is utterly packed with people is useful.

3. Beach trips. All your friends get this app and say, "meet us at the beach". On arriving, not being able to see them, you check the app to see the pockets of people.

4. Traffic congestion. It stands to reason that if lots of people have this app you'll be able to see where the busy roads are and the less travelled.

> Because online storage should be free?

No, because other services offer more for less.

> Companies can't survive without charging you, or turning you into an advertising commodity.

Yes, but when one shops, one chooses the best of competing alternatives. You know, like in capitalism?

> If you're not paying then "you're the product, not the customer".

Nice reductionist sentiment. Just be sure your sexual partner doesn't hear you saying this.

Not unique to Dropbox but most software. This is why I have various Apple IDs. I purchase most, if not all, of the apps via the US iTunes store with my US Apple ID, given that many devs stills use $4.99 = €4.99.

Mozilla Research - Video Codec Engineer - Remote or one of the global offices

The Internet needs a royalty free video codec appropriate for universal deployment with no gatekeepers. Creating a better video codec is a difficult task, and creating one with unencumbered technology is even harder. We've achieved that goal for audio with Opus, but video is still dominated by royalty bearing codecs like H.264.

We're looking for a Senior Research Engineer to join us building Daala, a next-next generation video codec being developed by Mozilla Research in conjunction with the Xiph.Org Foundation. Daala uses lapped transforms, overlapped-block motion compensation, frequency-domain prediction, gain-shape (perceptual) vector quantization, , and non-binary arithmetic coding to achieve superior performance.

If you like low level code, numeric programming, signal processing, algorithms, or machine learning, you'd probably enjoy working on Daala.

I had a friend who ran off the side of a mountain in Colorado. He called 911, but had no idea where he was (he was from the Midwest). Within about 40 minutes, they had triangulated his location and had a tow truck and emergency vehicles routed to get him out.

Without his phone and the ability to locate him, he was pretty sure he wouldn't have made.

Totally agree Jacob. Maybe even have a 201 version of the list where these terms can be included.
The Sansa Clip is a great mp3 player. All it does is play music (which is a big plus in my book), it's really small so it's great for running or other similar things, and the physical buttons make it really easy to use one-handed without looking at the screen.

When I got my first good-quality smartphone, I had planned on moving all my music over to it, but stopped when I found that the Clip was really a better device for music.
Why is everyone here assuming all programs can be run in a screen session?

Because that's what mosh is designed for. Graphical programs are off-topic.

By the way, we have used xpra ("screen for X") with success in the past: https://www.xpra.org/
It's okay to point fingers at unethical behavior. It's not okay to do it that selectively.

As someone reading about this from the other side of the Atlantic, what I'm seeing is an entire system that's corrupt from the top down, with the sort of crazily ridiculous levels of corruption I'm used to reading about in the most dysfunctional of Third World dictatorships. Frankly, unless radical changes are made, I wouldn't be optimistic about how long a society like that can keep coasting along on the momentum of past glory. Ghostwritten essays are the least of the bad behavior generated by the system that creates such terrible incentives.

If you want to call out the unethical behavior of the ghostwriters, fine, but if you want to have a leg to stand on in doing so, do it in the context of also calling out the rotten system that creates their jobs.
Thanks! Indeed - whether the "many" is true in all cases, is something I'd like to verify.

I agree with your nuances on 8, 10, 15.
