I am a game developer (that can develop non-game stuff too), that has been working with mobile (both games and apps) for 5 years now.

I particularly like to learn new stuff, pull unorthodox solutions and be curious in general.
I agree entirely with you. However that doesn't invalidate my point.
Is this thing really a $1200 CNC-mill? What are the dimensions it takes? Also, materials, aluminium only?

This thing could be really nice for hobby projects (not gun related, that is).

Dropped it for Wuala
The regulations that make it impossible to sell a DIY meth lab also make kid's chemistry sets neutered pieces of crap.

Meth should be legal and sold out of liquor stores to anyone 21 or older anyway. And while I don't condone tweakers cooking it in the trailer park, I see no reason why one shouldn't be allowed to do that chemistry if they're careful and take proper precautions.
'They' can be confused with a plural pronoun and a lot of people feel it's grammatically incorrect to use it to refer to a singular person.

The problem with gender-neutral singular pronouns is that there are many of them originating from different contexts. Each group or person tries to get their pronoun - ve, ze, co - adopted as standard but it's difficult because they're invented, so nobody knows about them, so you have to have this discussion every time you use one.

I'm friends with an asexual person who doesn't identify as male or female, and ze asked me to use the "ze" pronoun when referring to zer. I do in zer presence but there's no way I'm going to drop a sentence like that when somebody asks what I did yesterday. I just want to continue the conversation rather than have an involved discussion about gender norms.
Because that list was made by Brits. I bet a German made list would look different ;). Anyone who values lists like this is a fool. Just saying.
OpenSignal - London, UK (Full time, permanent)

At OpenSignal we're using mobile apps to tap into the smart phones we're all carrying around with us to build up global crowdsourced sensor networks. Our first sensor network is for wireless signal [1] where we are building a global database on the coverage and performance of wireless networks (both mobile + WiFi) on a scale that has never before been possible. Our second sensor network is WeatherSignal [2], which uses the barometers, thermometers and hygrometers on smart phones to crowdsource weather data and we have already published a scientific paper [3] showing the potential of this approach. If the concept of crowdsourced sensor networks appeals to you too then please get in touch. We are hiring for all manner of different roles right not (backend, frontend, UX/UI & data science) but most of all we are just looking for smart, like minded people rather than people with specific, existing skills. We also recently raised our $4million series A [4] from Qualcomm Ventures, O'Reilly Alphatech Ventures & Passion Capital so are growing fast.

Meaningless internet polls and all that, but I will say I don't expect that many people outside of Reddit and HN would know or care about this.

Personally, I continue using DropBox the same way I did before: that is not much. Several people I work with use it to share data with teams. I don't generally have much say in that. For me, a much more pressing problem with Dropbox is headless operation support, especially on Linux. Debian packages would be nicer than letting Rice go.
Schrödinger's Shift Key
Social mobility is low everywhere in the world, and education is just one small factor so it's not easy to find a correlation there without looking at the bigger picture.
The title was not misleading when he created the post. The update ended up clarifying the situation later.
If the ghosts of people who died in the road began to spook drivers and cause more accidents, you would see a rapid spike of mortality in the short term, followed maybe by change of behavior where ~90% of traffic is composed of professional bus/truck drivers that are hardened and not easily affected by ghosts.
> For the most part, this seems like a great initiative for adding transparency but ultimately highlights a non-issue (assuming further analysis doesn't change the story).

But of course, that's the best part about transparency.

It helps us figure out what are real issues and what are not.
Dropbox SUCKS.
I am the type of developer who uses an IDE. The problem is that I would usually get my work done in Vim while waiting for the IDE to load. After a few instances of finding myself working in Vim with Eclipse loaded and idle in the background, I just stopped opening Eclipse altogether.
It's a mill. Doesn't "print", it's a subtractive process... give it a block of metal and it cuts away the pieces you don't want.
It is not exploiting a loop hole. Federal law allows for the building of guns in the privacy of ones home. Just because this individual has decided to use this to make a gun, does that mean that we should outlaw all 3d milling devices because some of them make guns?

People have been building 80% lowers for years, without any background check, as the ATF does not consider it to be a weapon. All one needs is a drill press. Should we outlaw drill presses because they can be used to make a gun less then 1% of the time. Despite all of the other uses of a drill press?

Also the difference between a gun and your meth example is that meth manufacturing is illegal in all capacities. The private manufacturing of a firearm is not considered illegal, as long as you do not sell that firearm that you have created.
It's a shame this is blocked at work. I tried it at home on my PC, and I can't seem to get past lv23. This monitor, an Acer, was purchased specifically because it was one of the cheapest 1080's available at the time with favorable reviews. It's calibrated for contrast and gamma, but that doesn't seem to be enough. One of my monitors at work, however, is a calibrated Dell UltraSharp IPS. I managed to score a 7 with it on a color recognition test[1] that was posted here on HN a couple of weeks ago.

It's not an "AR-15 lower receiver maker". It's a cheap CNC mill you can do an infinite number of useful things with. Should high quality printers be illegal because you can make counterfeit bills with it? Or is the potential for harm an incidental part of any useful device? You can stab someone with a knife, but they're pretty handy for chopping food, too.
What about Asp.Net MVC? Seems like a lot of potential for growth in the company.
We've been waiting to announce the news for a while now. Can't tell you how happy we are to finally get it out.

We're tremendously excited about the potential we have with Eve and everyone we've talked to about it so far leaves with their head reeling. There's been an undercurrent brewing in the programming community that we're approaching a sort of transformational point in the way software ends up built. We hope to be part of that transformation.

I don't talk about it a ton in the post, but Eve isn't just about giving the Excel generation a seat at the table, but it's also explicitly designed to get us back to what we do best: solving problems. There are some pretty amazing properties that fall out of simplifying things as much as we have: concurrent by default, a real shot at auto-parallelization, a debugger that can tell you when, why, and how a value came to be, diffs not of code but of the output, the chance for true real-time collaboration on software, introspection into every part of the system, and so on. We'll be talking more about how it works over the next couple of months, but I can promise you now: there's some exciting stuff coming for all of us.

As always, in the interest of sharing with the community who helped us get here, I'm happy to answer any questions!
Because that's what the machine is designed for, as advertised by Defense Distributed?

It's not like Wired has never talked about general purpose CNC mills before.

My background is in security & formal methods but I'm also open to working on cool products outside of these fields, especially if it involves open source work.
Or I could buy ~12+ lower receivers...
Without going into the metrics that these rankings use and their flaws, the German university system unfortunately focuses less on "elite" universitities, instead trying to create a good average experience, so most of the universities are actually fairly on-par with each other in terms of funding, and therefore also research output, teaching, etc. That being said, my experience with high-prestige american universities has been that the expense has very little to do, and feeds very little into, the quality of the education. US universities are expensive because they have massive bureaucratic overhead and are funded through a peculiar model (Government gives money to people, which give money to universities).

Also, Germany used to have no tuition until the mid-2000s or so, and only some places introduced it, and it was really, really low.
I immediately assumed you were putting on a comedy german accent. But for obvious reasons, I had some difficulty figuring out why you were doing this.
IIRC Finland has never had university tuition fees and it is the 3rd most equal country in the world. http://www.goodcountry.org/country/FIN

Finnish students get allowance from the government for the duration of their studies (max ~60 months) and get government backed cheap loans which they start paying back after their studies.

My own experience is that there are people from very varying backgrounds in the Finnish universities.
The journalist focused on the purpose for which the machine was built, which is expressly making parts for guns.
IntelliJ probably manages to do a lot more stuff in the background than its competitors do. I'd argue that concurrency / asynchronicity in large Java applications like that is very complicated, moreso than Javascript-based applications like Atom - so props to Jetbrains for that.
This looks awesome.

For $1,200 you could set up as a company making little things for others, earn enough to pay for the machine and then benefit from it yourself.

What I would do with such a machine is to solve the problem of bike accessories and mounts. i.e. every light has a different mount, as do GPS devices, and cameras, and bag attachments. Yet you could manufacture some common clamp, and then adaptors for each thing. Perhaps standardise around something like the GoPro bracket for an even wider market (it would allow flashes and other accessories to be mounted using existing GoPro segments).

There's so many things you can do.

And they make a gun! Who cares about guns! It's all the other stuff that make this awesome.
The Factory - San Francisco, CA -- http://www.thefactory.com/

The Factory is changing the way companies are built. Backed by the founder of Skype and Rdio and led by Rdio's founding team, we're a product incubator without the burdens of outside influence, funding, or time constraints.

We are well-funded and have a small and exceptional team of 15. We have a gorgeous office in SOMA. Salary is top-notch, as are the equity and benefits as an early member.

We're looking for highly experienced, entrepreneurially-minded builders to help:

* Dream up and build products

* Develop and perfect a common platform and pipeline

* Create open-source tools to help others launch products

Current positions:

* Senior Front End Engineer (http://www.thefactory.com/pdfs/sr_frontend.pdf)

* Senior Back End Engineer (opportunistic)

* Other roles (opportunistic)

You can read more about us here: http://gigaom.com/2013/06/21/the-factory-janus-friis-todd-be...

On the front end, we use reactive patterns for both web (ClojureScript) and mobile (Objective C).

On the back end, we have a message bus-oriented microservice architecture built in Scala (with Finagle) and Go. Services are packaged as Docker containers and continuously deployed to a Mesos+Marathon cluster on AWS.

Other key tech includes ZooKeeper, Exhibitor, Zipkin, Kestrel, Packer, CloudFormation, and Python. And our small team has already open sourced a few dozen projects: https://github.com/thefactory/

If you think this sounds like a fit, drop me a line: mike@thefactory.com
Hold on. So the money are made from a Pro version, which is not open source.

This is not "the path to full-time open source", that's how to use open source to bootstap sales of a separate commercial offering. Good to know, I'm happy for the guy and his 175K, but the title is misleading at best.
This reminds me of the Intel SYSRET bug: https://blog.xenproject.org/2012/06/13/the-intel-sysret-priv...

In which AMD defines a new instruction, and Intel copies it with a subtle difference which trips up everyone (AMD's way is better IMO, and it came first).
Not to mention, its been trivial to build "zip guns" with basic tools. Crude pistols aren't that tough to make, especially when the heavy lifting (making of reliable and safe ammo) is already done for you.
The Promised Land of 3D Printing?
Ah, ok. That is correct.
I did, following the appointment.
One markup language is much the same as another. The real issue here is the fact that typography is not inherently easy to specify in a serial language. It's an intuitive, visual activity, for which direct manipulation and WYSIWYG are ideal. Any non-trivial layout contains both typographic hierarchy and spatial hierarchy, grid systems and the like.
Knuth blazed an important trail but you couldn't typeset a magazine in TeX. It's all very well to scratch one's own itch, of course. It is just that the specfication of layouts is a more complex, intuitive and holistic problem than TeX-like languages acknowledge. You need to be able to work with intrinsically visual and spatial things like clip paths, not to mention checking optically for rivers etc.
It seems to be common for a certain kind of programmer to be detail-oriented when it comes to coding but tone deaf to the richness of typography as craft. Grrr.
I leave it open for this reason. But honestly most of my more robust editors are slightly slow to start and I keep them running if I think I'll need them. If I need super quick and light I fall back to vim.

When you said "a small set of features is bad if users cannot efficiently extend the language because the needed features aren't included" I assumed you meant something like operator overloading or macros or compile-time templates like in other languages. It seems like I was misunderstanding you. If all you meant was "a small set of features is bad if users don't have generics", then yes, my earlier response was not appropriate.

However, I would still have to disagree, given that I have written a lot of very useful code in Go, much of it quite reusable (without interface{} or reflection).

I did go click on that link and started to watch the presentation, FWIW. It's too long for me to watch now, but it definitely looks interesting, so I'll try to watch it in the next couple days. Thanks for pointing it out to me.
There should have been 2 options for "I continue to use Dropbox despite being against the appointment of Rice" and "I continue to use Dropbox, with no opinion about the Board".
I dropped Dropbox for Google Drive long time ago.
FanJam - http://fanjam.com - Frontend Engineer Ember.js
Remote OR in Chattanooga, TN

Do you love sports & javascript? At FanJam (fanjam.com), we're building a new kind of fantasy basketball game on web and mobile. We're a small team with backgrounds in startups, consulting, and venture capital. Our team shares a love for either sports or programming, but we all share a common love for building a winning culture.
In this role, you will be working with mostly client-side javascript. We're still in the early stages of development, so we’re looking for someone comfortable in architecting front end code using a modular approach & capable of making good design decisions. An ideal candidate is keeping up to date with the rapidly changing javascript landscape and has experience working with realtime applications. You’re aware of the challenges of DOM implementations between browsers and can write clean code to deal with them.

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).
You can work remotely or at our offices in Chattanooga, TN

Skills we're looking for

* Proven experience working with Javascript on client-side (ember.js/or angular/react)

* Experience working with web sockets & realtime technology

* Comfort on the front end html5, compass, and css/sass

* 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.

* Experience with data visualizations is a big plus

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

* A desire to get better every day

Interested? Contact me toni (at) fanjam.com

London UK - Osper - http://osper.com

We provide a real prepaid debit card for young people, aged 8 - 18, so they can make independent decisions with money: online, in shops, at cash machines, and abroad. Thousands of kids have already signed up to our service.

But we not only help young people buy Legos and save for bicycles - we are building an awesome technology team that eliminates legacy code, keeps the bug rate tiny, and stays small and joyful. We are doing this by adopting techniques like pair programming, test-driven development, continuous deployment, and microservices. Read more about our plan to be awesome on our blog http://tech.osper.io.

We want to meet and work with geeks of all varieties - from sysadmins to server-side devs, testers to mobile coders, data crunchers to security analysts.

We are willing to arrange relocation to London for the right candidate. Sorry, we're not ready to take on remote team members yet.
Meth is illegal, full stop. Guns are not, that "legal loophole" is referred to by others as the Constitution, which makes gun manufacturing subject to laws and regulations, but not bans in the US.
