SEEKING WORK (iOS) - Remote - Pacific Standard Time - US Citizen

I'm a 3.5+ year iOS developer, who remembers developing for early iOS 4.x builds + iPhone 3 (without camera!).

I have resume experience in lead roles, remote teams, an acquired startup, as well as at Apple, Microsoft, and Google.

Recently, I published an academic breakdown of UITableView - a popular iOS control - on my employer's tech blog + open-sourced the project:
https://techblog.livingsocial.com/blog/2013/12/02/lsctablevi....

I also contribute to the tools I use! I've made contributions to PonyDebugger, AFNetworking, SSPullToRefresh, and SDWebImageCache.

Strangely, I find it easier to read as an HN comment. Maybe related to the font ?
Scribd (YC '06), San Francisco - VISA, FULL-TIME, and INTERN are all welcome

Scribd ("Netflix for eBooks", top 100 website, 50 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!

* Big data and web infrastructure - we're big users of hive, impala, and hadoop

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

* Internships: junior standing or above for all areas of engineering and product management. 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.
Sounds a bit like Kaya (https://vimeo.com/107069470) that I mentioned to you guys. Good luck!
His main website contains hours of reading on everything from computer security to home-machining and robotics. Well worth a read.

No, you're moving the goalposts. DeRaadt pointed out that x86 "barely" has a working paging system. A commenter on HN said there was no basis for that statement, that he was picking on something that wasn't broken, that it was just FUD. It was not FUD. That claim has been refuted.
Tell the local autorities that they are using your copyright material without permission, therefore they're breaking copyright law. It's an offence in most countries and will involve confiscation of evidences (servers or computers).

It's easier if the foreign country has an embassy in your country.
Interesting. From what I understand, this was what BurntSushi's regex macro was intended to accomplish: an efficiently compiled regex that optimized away all unneeded functionality for regex literals. With CTFE, would this get rid of the need for a macro entirely?
You can type directly into layouts in InDesign and see your line and page breaks in realtime. I think where the problem lies in InDesign is that it is, at its core, a typesetting and layout application and not a word processing application. There is a lot of work to do to get to the point of being able to write in your layout, and pages don't get added dynamically when adding new content as easily as they do in a typesetting application.
Helpdesk/support applications would need this too to automatically create tickets, update status, send your answer, etc.
Regardless of what you write, there are non-law-enforcement people in the US who can legally walk into school with a gun. I don't know about every state, but in Utah if you have a permit to conceal, you are good to go in a school.
I'm impressed. I thought I'd try it with `next wednesday at 20 to 3 in the afternoon`. It understood!

It didn't understand if I used `afternon`. Perhaps as an improvement it could try selecting the most likely word from misspellings.
Game development resources page
This worked for me once a long time (10+ years) ago. Collect emails as evident and stop working. Send them a email and tell them I send all the emails correspondent to a collection agency.

The last email got me the full $4k invoice paid in full in one week after weeks of delay.

In the future, setup project in milestone phases, next phases won't start until payment received. AND written in the statement of Works/Contract that you will only provide the source code and / or assign the copyright over until the payment is received in FULL.
Am I the only one around here who thinks that Spark is a bit of an overloaded term in tech nowadays. There's:

- Apache Spark project
- Spark web framework www.sparkjava.com
- SparkFun data.sparkfun.com
- Spark.io

Tbh, I'm getting confused sometimes.
I foresee mashing a robust typesetting application and a robust word processing application as being an extremely difficult thing to do well. Both are very different use cases and resulting environments.
This sentence, early in that post, is where my spin shields went up:

Now that this issue has been fully remediated, without any reports of compromised data among our customers, I’d like to explain what happened, and why. [em mine]
Sorry, i forgot to mention the numerous modifications which can make an AR-15 automatic.

It's true this device alone doesn't make an automatic weapon, but it certainly catalyzes the process of making an untraceable automatic weapon.

Once you have made an untraceable semi-auto AR-15 with this device, you can then make it untraceable auto with numerous ways.
Yes, they updated them after I mentioned it. However, it leaves me questioning other things which I didn't look at and overall, I'm just not happy trusting a closed cryptosystem.

I'd be willing to accept closed source if they at least published a cryptographic protocol, but closed source and closed protocol, where I myself have seen that the little bit of vague documentation that they do have has been incorrect in the past, is quite untrustworthy in my opinion.

Considering the number of alternatives available - may as well just use something else. I'll give it another look if they open the protocol in one way or another as they do surely have the ease of use nailed down.
Yeah a "from the trenches" collaboration between some people who have taken different approaches and the lawyers who worked with them would be really valuable to me. (Hint: if anybody fits that description, I'm saying I'd pay good money for it!)

I'm the founder and you can email me directly at jon at entelo dot com if you're interested in working with us at Entelo.
I use Wuala, which not only has a Linux client, but a FUSE module for true ease of use. It also does client-side encryption, and if you forget your password, you've lost your data, which is how it should work. I'm also reasonably pleased with the Windows and Android clients, though I don't use them nearly as much.
Sorry for the offtopic but could we also have a "Who is hiring non-programmers" or similar? I presume there are a lot of folk here who are not programmers but would be interested in tech-related companies.
ITTT type applications could also benefit from this. Year ago I wrote a script that would send me a digest every morning that would include things like a list of cron jobs that ran last night. To do that I had the cron jobs email a specific mailbox as the last step, and had my script connect via IMAP to check them.

Having said that, IMAP libraries are good enough to not have to pay for a wrapper when using most email providers.
That site boasts "take back your privacy (...)" and then loads tracking from analytics.leastauthority.com (even with an expired certificate). Privacy my behind...
I dropped dropbox after I found out anyone could access my files due to their half assed security
Bitnation – a fully inclusive governance system
I'm cheap and that's why I purchased a used older edition. Incidently, though, I recently realized that all the obsolete material on searching tapes as secondary storage is pure Turing machine manipulation.

Anyway, I don't expect to ever master the material, but I learn something every time I open one up.
I did the same. Like in Dropbox, everything I have in Jottacloud is encrypted. I wasn't a big user of Dropbox before, I really just use a cloud service to store a very small but important amount of files, so I the only difference I notice is whenever I wake up Windows I have to wait a couple of seconds, Jottacloud seems to make everything freeze for a short period.

We're looking for folks that love all of the above and can help us raise our standards. You can email us at jobs-2014@hipmunk.com if you're interested!
>> "consider it a risky option"

In the UK system there is no risk. You only have to pay back the loan (form the government) when you are earning over a certain amount per year. It is taken directly from your salary like other taxes. If you never earn enough money you never have to pay it back. If you choose to live and work abroad you don't have to pay either.
Do continue to support ownCloud financially by purchasing their Android client, but you should know that since it is free and open-source software the Android client is available on F-Droid for free: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=com.owncloud.and...

Paid Android apps are not available in most countries so this is why you'll see some released in both markets like this.

Tell the employees to grab it there, and make a donation to ownCloud if that's easier for you.
W3C Turns 20
Thanks! Yes we should probably relax a little bit the lexical analysis to cope with typos, thanks for your feedback.
Do you know a good GUI that will tell me about things that happen and files that failed to sync?
Actually not. Only ones manufactured after 1986; there are roughly 250,000 in private circulation (and I can dig up a current case where a police department is selling a vintage 1920s Thompson sub-machinegun so they can buy stuff they need).

ADDED: per the NRA's page on California gun laws, in theory its even legal to have and transport one, although evidently the permits to do so are never granted (well, I assume except for Hollywood...).

2 known illegal uses of legal machine guns in private hands in the US ... one by a cop....
I didn't drop Dropbox. I'm glad someone like Condi was appointed. It shows where the founders and investors stand on issues of government cooperation.

It's far preferable to the situation with Eric Schmidt who was a trojan horse and ushered in Google's most egregious cooperation with intelligence agencies.
The simplicity of this one has made it entertaining to watch. It's easy to follow the storyline of probes, exploits, and patches. And everyone has bash, so we can play along at home. ;-)
What do all the call statements do? They seem a little redundant as they skip forward to the next statement each time.
Everyone is having all the fun in the other side of the country, and I'm stuck in Disney World missing out. Sad stuff.

Right; to be clear, Instead of University students could be directed to a trade or profession that would suit them better (than wasting everyone's time in a four-year institution)
I'm also really disappointed with this announcement. I had been putting off learning Emacs because I told myself "don't bother, give ibdknox and friends some time to put some polish on LightTable, and you'll have a modern Emacs".

Looks like it's time to dive into Emacs...
Drafting, which results from the "car trains" I mentioned to start with, does change the curve. Dramatically. On the order of 50% decreases.

And that's with current designs.

Optimize your cars to maximize drafting effects and you can see greater improvements.
Michigan use to require a purchase permit for pistols. You had to go to the Michigan State Police, take a little quiz, and they would issue you a purchase permit. The permit had an expiration date. You bought the pistol with the permit and then had to take the pistol back to the police station for a safety check.
I was under the impression that the sorting of linked lists is exactly what merge sort is good for.
Sure, not everyone is cut out for programming. But there's still a fair amount of incidential complexity we can eliminate, which will make programming more approachable to more of the people who would be good at it.
Well it would be important to know which country it is, which you did not mention, so I'm not sure how you expect us to help you. There's a big difference between UK and China.
If Rice ran for president, I wouldn't vote for her. But I don't think supporting dropbox is helping or hurting the bad things she MAY have contributed to. They make a good product, and i'll continue using it.

I think the proper way to deal with the things she is accused of having done is via court. If it is believed she committed war crimes, then accuse her of it.
> 15 or so years ago, someone could open up VB6 draw out a couple of forms and put together a simple "Line of Business" app themselves without having spent 10 years of their life becoming a professional programmer.

There's plenty of people throwing together simple LOB apps (including, particularly web apps) now -- with a wide variety of different tools -- without spending a decade becoming a professional programmer. And using similar workflows as they did when VB6 was around. Visual designers with minimal code didn't go away when VB6 did, and the place where there are the most competing ways of doing this is on the web.

> Joe in accounting doesn't have the opportunity to build things to support himself (short of studying programming), but with Eve he could do everything from automate several of his workflows, to building a dashboard, to building dynamic reports for his bosses, to creating internal tools to track and measure things.

That's exactly the pitch for lots of things that are on the market now (to pick one among many, without any particular intention to claim its the best in the field, Zoho Creator).
I'm glad I waited before selling off all my worldly goods to go live in the Holocratic Tech Utopia. The newest post about the collapse of factorli is also giving me whiplash. It is a good article, but overall I am left wondering: is this Downtown project and tech boom in las vegas a thing? Or is it just a flash in the pan? Because it seemed kind of neat on monday.

Oops! You're right, I was under the incorrect impression it had been put on Schedule I.
Counter example: There are 8000 poor persons paying 1p and 10 well-of paying 100 for his kids to go to university. None of the 8000 poor people has kids in univ.
Show HN: Go channels as a C library (with Obj-C wrapper)
I massively dropped my usage of Dropbox after their security issues (and not getting responses to my emails to them on the topic), and eventually closed my free account around the time of the drop-dropbox.com push.

I'm not against a third party managing my data synchronization, but it was pretty clear our priorities did not align.
eb_chan is a C library (supporting OS X, iOS, and Linux) that provides a complete implementation of the Go channel primitive. Also included is an Objective-C wrapper which allows for a convenient select-statement syntax using blocks.

eb_chan provides the full range of functionality of Go channels, including blocking and non-blocking selects on an arbitrary number of sends and receives.

Two focuses of this project are to maximize throughput and minimize resource consumption. To maximize throughput, eb_chan includes a fast-path (to avoid making system calls) which consists merely of acquiring a spinlock and modifying a structure. To minimize resource consumption, eb_chan avoids using scarce resources, such as file-descriptor-based primitives like UNIX pipes. Instead, eb_chan uses Mach semaphores (semaphore_t) on Darwin, and POSIX semaphores (sem_t) on Linux, both of which can be allocated on the order of 10^5 without hitting resource limits.

Feedback appreciated!
The value of mobile code isn't exactly a new thing. I didn't even think it was a new thing for the JavaScript world.

In your first line, you say to drop Dropbox due to lack of client side encryption, and in your second line you mention that you can just roll your own while still using Dropbox...?
> Nowhere in EU countries there a requirement for their citizens to _carry_ a legal ID.

To all the downvoters: please PROVIDE A SOURCE (bill, act, legal review, any language is OK) that states that a citizen of a EU country must _carry_ a legal ID while staying in that country.

Please note I wrote in the original comment and in this comment _carry_, not _provide_.

As I wrote, there are states that require you to _provide_ an ID to police officers. But that doesn't mean that you have to _carry_ it with you all the time, just that you can go back home to take it or go to a police station and be identified there.
> somebody will succeed in some real fashion with a tool that allows non-programmers to make software (for real, not baby software)

I'll bet this won't happen. If you can get non-programmers to produce what we think of as real software now, I am sure whatever insight you made will make programmers create much better, more complicated software.

We’re (https://www.underdog.io) looking to make our first hire, a Lead Software Engineer in New York City.

Today, we're is a curated, two-sided marketplace for talent. We help growing startups hire amazing people across all verticals at a fraction of the cost of traditional recruiting firms. We're moving toward a bigger opportunity involving information exchange across networks of companies.

In the interest of full transparency, it's a big job with lots of positives and negatives.

The Good:

• Traction (https://medium.com/@joshuagoldstein/our-first-four-months-bu...) after a few months.

• Proven business model - we're making money every month.

• Chance to get common stock in a bootstrapped startup = big upside.

• Full technical autonomy. Today, we're using popular languages and tools - Python/Flask, PostgreSQL, Elastic Search, S3, etc. - but you'd have the opportunity to make changes.

• Work out of Founder Collective's space in SoHo.

• Work with great freelance designers and advisors.

The Bad:

• Less structure and certainty than a funded startup.

• Fairly tight budget until we raise a round.

• Only full-time developer until we build an engineering team.

Email chris@underdog.io to apply.

Sorry, we can't sponsor visa candidates.

Keywords: New York, NYC, Developer, Dev, Python, Flask, PostgreSQL, Elastic Search, S3, Bacon, https://www.underdog.io/
The complaints in the article don't really generalize at all. It seems to just be a rant about why targeting the JVM from a functional language can yield non optimal code without certain program transformations. Haskell and OCaml don't have the problems mentioned here at all. I wish the title actually reflected the content rather than just being kind of antagonistic about functional programming.
I recommend Legal Heat, a site that spells out the current regulations state by state, about where you can and cannot go while carrying a firearm.
I really appreciate this reply, I think most people would have ducked the question and moved on.

I still think that LT is going to slowly peter out, as there isn't enough momentum to dethrone existing IDEs / upcoming actively developed contenders.

That said, I think this level of transparency about where your collective heads are at is great. While some people may still be annoyed (particularly those who donated to the kickstarter) I applaud your willingness to change paths and do what you think needs to be done to succeed.

I'm excited to start playing with Eve.
