SEEKING WORK - Remote (Lebanon)

Most of my professional experience has been with mobile development(iOS, Android and openGL ES) but I also have experience with nodeJS, python and C from personal projects. I'm also a polyglot and an avid learner so I will not list all of the technologies and languages I've picked up over the past 10 or so years I've been programming, these are just the ones I have most experience with and could get up and running on immediately.

I'm mainly interested in freelance part-time work(10~20hrs/week) though I might be open to full-time work.

My native language is Arabic but I speak both English and French quite fluently and have excellent communication skills.

I can be reached at raja.e.baz@gmail.com
Voxel8 - Boston/Cambridge MA - Sr. and Jr. Software Developers

Elevator Pitch:

Voxel8 is a startup company that is bringing novel materials to 3D printing. We will embed function into the typical shapes of 3D printing. Our materials, based on research by Harvard SEAS Professor Jennifer Lewis, allow us to print embedded conductors, wires, and batteries into the normal matrix materials of 3D printing.
We are looking for both senior and junior software developers to help us with a variety of tasks needed to get our hardware product to market.

We are currently working on a new slicer written in Julia. We use the Marlin firmware running on an Arduino to control our printer. We will need to develop mobile applications to communicate with and control the hardware. We also need to develop new CAD software to allow our users to design objects using our unique materials capabilities. This means we are looking for people interested in:

* 3D printing/3D Scanning

* Computation geometry

* Embedded systems

* Mobile development

* CAD Software (possiby Three.js/WebGL based)

* Closed loop control systems

* Python, Julia, Javascript, C, GL

Bonus points for people interested in software, hardware, and materials science.

If more than one of the above sounds interesting, please reach out to me! My email is jack@voxel8.co
For me, it's procrastination, plain and simple.

In my better moments, I try to spend my procrastination time "doing" something, so I load my computer with toys such as a new programming tool that I want to learn, an evaluation board for a microcontroller, etc. I give myself little projects. The cycle is complete when I begin to use one of those toys for my regular job.

And to anybody monitoring my activities (which I always assume), it looks just like work.

True. But the question is, if she is able to get the degree easily with skills the degree is not meant to require, is there something wrong with the degree itself? If there was a sysadmin certification you could pass with knowledge of cooking and a little luck then the certification is flawed. Of course there are always ways to game any system, but it shouldn't be quite so easy. If a reasonably intelligent person who is good at writing can do the work required to get a degree given a few weeks and internet access, then the degree probably needs to be reworked.

How to Draw the Right Lesson Learned

> Democracy is not the best form of government, meritocracy is.

The problem here is that what is valued as meritful is easily manipulated. If killing in war is proclaimed as meritful, then killers rule in such a meritocracy. Churchill said it best, democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others. http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/364.html
When I switched up to a Galaxy Note II a couple of years ago (now a Note 3) I was worried that it might not fit in my pockets too. But it wasn't a problem at all.

It does make a difference which pocket you use. I keep the phone in the left front pocket, no case on the phone, and the screen facing my leg so it's well protected. That pocket is dedicated to the phone only. Keys and coins go in the right front pocket, wallet elsewhere depending on the pants (cargo or not).

Interestingly, these larger Note phones fit better in the front pocket than my old Droid Charge and previous phones did. That's because the smaller phones would settle sideways in the bottom of the pocket. So they used a lot less pocket height, but a lot more width. When I sat down, the ends of the phone (in its sideways position) would stick out relative to the curve of my leg.

The Note phones settle vertically in the pocket since they are too long to tip over sideways there. So when I sit down the phone is much more flat against my leg.

Of course there are some pants that have pockets that are just too short for this - I don't wear Levis jeans any more but I seem to remember short little front pockets in those. But most are fine. I just make sure to test the phone pocket when I try them on.

I suppose that's more about my pants then you all wanted to know, but there you go...

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

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

Absent exceptions, for quick-and-dirty stuff I wish Go had a mode like Bash's 'set -e', which just aborts on any error return from any call. When the only thing you want to do on errors is abort the program, it's really tedious to write that same "if err, exit" after every function call. But perhaps the golang people's answer would be that for those kinds of quick-and-dirty programs, I should be using a shell script anyway, not Go? Or maybe Perl, which does require an explicit check, but uses a compact idiom for it, f() or die;
It would be nice if more of this was folded into Java itself, rather than existing as a new language - as the author notes a lot of it is in Java 8.
To be maybe a bit clearer, I am not doing a purely financial analysis when I talk about how having a PhD is part of the reward. I would also never recommend grad school purely for the financial benefits! The point to me has always been that it gives more freedom (well, probably not for computer science PhDs) to direct the type of work that you do post-graduation. Instead of being a technician, you get to be much more independent in selecting projects, planning them, and potentially managing research groups whether in industry or academia. It means credibility as a consultant, it means credibility asking for more budget for a project you want to do.

And I am again, not talking about PhD's in computer science, which seem to be irrelevant in industry. I'm talking about things like physics or biology.
Coding is the easy part. Engineering is the hard part.

After all, even though 90%+ of the population can read and write, few are writers.
OK, fair enough. I didn't know about xpra.

I've solved this by buying FastX from StarNet. I run a server on Linux and display my X programs on my desktop at work. When I get home, where I run the client on my home desktop, I can connect to the same server and disconnect my work clients and reconnect them to my home machine. It's the perfect solution for me.

That sounds off. What kind of prices? Brazil has high import taxes, so stuff like iPhones will be much more expensive, but I frankly don't believe that "everything" is cheaper in the UK or Netherlands.

The Moto X is slightly smaller and more powerful that the Moto G.

The Samsung Alpha looks very promising, due to be released very soon.
This could be done by freezing the ABI of a runtime, allowing compatible patched versions to be swapped in. (Now you rely on the runtime's vendor to do this.)
Simple API is almost always a synonym for feature limited. APIs are often complicated because they have a lot of power, flexibility or functionality.

Indeed, my friends who do postdocs at places like MIT never get more than $50k a year. That is definitely not competitive. You're getting compensation in a higher chance of your lottery ticket to getting a faculty job getting chosen, and people wouldn't accept such low salaries if there weren't some perceived trade-off value.
SEEKING WORK - Remote preferred (Based in NYC)

I'm a (primarily) backend developer who specializes in high-performance realtime streaming. I spent many years working in the tech industry as Head of Product for companies such as Flickr and Bitly, but left a few years ago to concentrate on my own side projects. I am the guy behind open-source projects such as Emojitracker.com and LOLcommits. I am looking for PT work (15-20 hrs/week max) while I continue working on my side projects.

Specialities: I cut my teeth in Ruby, but lately have been spending a lot of my time in Elixir/BEAM and Go, as well as a bit of NodeJS. I have a ton of experience with the Twitter streaming API and Emoji encoding issues (more than any human ever should reasonably have, probably). I have experience both in leading large cross-functional teams as well as bringing my own projects to market independently as the sole developer.

Ideally looking for interesting projects that map very closely to my areas of expertise. (I do also do product strategy consulting and advise startups but I'm posting here because I'm hoping to write some code!).
