I want to suggest that the real antagonism that is created by these environments is not between developers and users (the users are typically so far down as to not even be noticed).

The real antagonism is between developers and ... let's say ... "power users".

If you are sufficiently technical to understand the tool in it's totality and to appreciate the ramifications of your own suggestions or use cases, etc., there should be a place for you in those discussions.

However, my experience has been that the attitude of "you're either hacking on the kernel or you don't matter at all" is very pervasive.
So we are taxing drugs to go into medical care, which will be increased from all of the health-reltated problems due to increased drug use? If all drugs are legalized, drug testing should be mandatory for medical coverge/insurance. If you test positive, your rates are increased accordingly.

Before any of this happens, we ned to have tort reform. You can't sue a company for getting addicted or dying from the now legal drugs that they sell.It has been known for 50 years that smoking causes dancer, yet people still use the it, bad, cigarette companies.

In New York, they have had soda bans and in most parts of the country, there is a sin tax on cigaretts. Why are we so worried about these, yet even more addictive drugs re now going to be legalalized an fine?

In a now more health conscience society, the logic doesn't make sense. Hell, people here have even called McDonalds evil for selling fatty foods. Somehow selling heroin is a-ok.
The best thing would be to get GitHub to close this scumbags down.
"On June 12, 1957, then-Surgeon General Leroy Burney 'declared it the official position of the U.S. Public Health Service that the evidence pointed to a causal relationship between smoking and lung cancer.'" (see following link), and that 1964 saw the publication of Smoking and Health: Report of the Advisory Committee to the Surgeon General of the United States (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_and_Health:_Report_of_...).

I was born in 1960; let me assure you there were strong and effective campaigns against smoking based on health through the time I went to college in 1979 and stopped paying so much attention to this sort of thing. I cannot recall a single person denying that smoking was unhealthy (arguments for it were much more nuanced).

One weird Podfile trick to manage your App farm
I was trying to address directly that point. Pre-bitcoin, you could avoid the enforcement mechanisms with hard cash and a barrow. There was a long running British sitcom called "Only Fools and Horses" that dealt with this quite thoroughly.

edit - If fleshed out a bit, the premise behind this project might actually make quite a good 21st century sequel episode. Del Boy would love bitcoin.

Springleaf Financial - Chicago, IL

Hiring for Senior Software Engineer and Frontend Engineer.

Springleaf Financial is a personal consumer loan company based in Evansville, Indiana with the new Digital office based in downtown Chicago. Springleaf's Digital team strikes the right balance between large company resources (currently valued at over $4 billion on the NYSE), small team speed (whole office is approximately 20 people, half business and half engineering/design), and startup culture (casual clothing, flexible hours).

The digital team is building web applications and APIs to process consumer loan applications online. The online lending space is a fast-paced, growing industry and we are putting together the team to dominate it.

Our stack includes Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, and the standard frontend tools (HTML/JS/CSS/Bootstrap).

If this piques your interest, shoot me an email at loganfrederick@gmail.com for more information or with any questions you might have.
People have legitimate reasons to avoid messing with BTC or others. Some people don't even want to hassle with currencies beyond their own.

Even if they oblige in accepting BTC and just convert it to their preferred currency, they'd be forced to go through the process of signing up and verifying with some sort of exchange. What if they don't want to do business with those institutions, or share their financial details to yet another third-party? Cryptocurrencies will succeed, thankfully, but some people don't want to put their toes in those legal waters yet. They will also have to spend more time administering to local laws and taxes regarding donations, which eats away the time they have for other much more fun things.
5 Weird Physical Phenomena
Pubfront - Copenhagen, Denmark

We develop a white-label platform for purchasing and reading/listening to ebooks and audiobooks. Currently licensed to clients in Denmark, Sweden and Norway, we're planning on expanding the platform to more countries.

Right now, we're looking for a Junior Web Developer with Python/Django and frontend experience to keep our platform rock-solid.

You will be responsible for tackling issues as they arise, including:

- fixing issues reported in our bug queue
- communicating with our clients and investigating issues reported by them
- developing features and tweaks that help our clients scale sales and support

You'll be working with our small team of developers and sales-people in the exciting Founders House workspace on Islands Brygge in Copenhagen, where food and drink are provided to fuel Pubfront and the 20+ other startups hacking away there.

Skillwise, we're looking for people who know

- Python (must-have)
- Django (ideally, but experience with other web frameworks is also relevant)
- HTML, CSS & Javascript (must-have, but no ninja-level skills required)
- SASS & CoffeeScript/Backbone.js (ideally, but easy enough to get into)

Want to work for an expanding startup in one of Copenhagen’s hippest workspaces? Eager to help deliver the smoothest ebook-reading experience to users around the world? Get in touch here: http://www.pubfront.com/jobs/
I have started to use Drupal to create a small site for a non-profit. I disabled the site a couple of days after this vulnerability. Is there a way to determine if I have been compromised or since I have put about 30 minutes of work into it so far am I better off rebuilding from scratch?
Sounds like they have a variety of the BS "Freemen on the land" concept ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemen_on_the_land ).
This reminds me of a site (the name of which I apparently have washed from my memory, but not manta) that creates a profile for you from your public LinkedIn profile. It showed up in a google search when I was looking for a job, and contained older entries. I had to opt-in, sign up, and edit my information in order for it to be removed. The point everyone here is missing, is that this is the free-market risk of publishing things to the open web.

Deal with the issue some other way. There are unethical people out there who want to make money in crafty ways.
Thats genuinely impressive. I'd be concerned about the lack of electrolytes though? Presumably cyclists would need to top those up too.
Codecademy - New York, NY

Here's a typical job description from Jobvite:

http://hire.jobvite.com/CompanyJobs/Careers.aspx?nl=1&k=Job&...
Desmos - San Francisco, CA

-- About us --

Desmos builds great math software. If you love math, write great code, and care about education, then we want to meet you.
Check out a sample graph at https://www.desmos.com/calculator/bbhzdbudoy if you haven't seen our calculator before.

-- Software Developer (calculator) --

The Desmos calculator lives entirely in the browser. It incorporates a realtime LaTeX WYSIWIG editor, includes a full compiler pipeline to interpret unstructured user math input and transform it into meaningful and efficiently-evaluable code, and makes extensive use of modern web technologies such as web workers and canvas rendering. The calculator core is modular and well-tested code which powers our free-to-use desktop, tablet, and mobile versions, used by millions of students, as well as driving our API, which many of the world's largest education companies use to power their graphing and math input. There's a lot to do to make the calculator faster, more powerful, more featureful and more beautiful, build out mobile apps, and continue to grow the calculator API.

We're not big into hard requirements, but a love of and interest in math is non-negotiable.

If this is the right job for you, you're probably also interested in numerical and geometric computation, compilers, code generation, performance optimization, API design, CAS implementation and graphics.

-- Software Developer (lessons) --

Desmos is redefining what online math content can look like by treating the creation of each lesson as software development. Each lesson we build has unique interactions, streams realtime data to other students and to the teacher dashboard, and has to work effectively across a wide range of devices. Basically, we're building a new app every few weeks, each one designed by our team of world-class educators and designers. If you're not excited by a never-ending stream of ready-to-build projects that will each make a significant impact on a specific area of math education, this is not the position for you.

We need to see a demonstrated ability to create high-quality interactive experiences rapidly, and a love of math and teaching.

Bonus points if you've produced and maintained code in a high-throughput / multi-product environment, developed complex single-page web apps, built complex touch interactions, or spent time as an educator.

-- Why Desmos --

Here's what it means to work at Desmos.

* Great benefits: full medical and dental, catered lunch every day, unlimited vacation days whenever you need them.
* Productive environment: no mandatory meetings, bureaucracy, or artificial barriers. Full transparency and participation in company goals and direction.
* Competitive compensation: we offer substantial equity and competitive salary to every fulltime employee. We want everyone to feel both financially secure and deeply invested in the future of the company.
* Work-life balance: we value results over hours, and sustainable, long-term success over short-term wins.

It sounds like you have some files appear, which proves a compromise has occurred, but you don't know the source of those files then?

If that is the case, if you're running software that has security vulnerabilities if you install that same software on Linode, or anohter host, you'll just get compromised again.

The solution has to be for you to:

* Learn how you were compromised.

* Actively take steps to avoid it.

Otherwise you'll find yourself posting in six months time "Linode disabled my server, help!" and "I'm moving to Hetzner".
>Half a liter in a few hours is way less than a cyclist needs.

I guess you can use it to top up then. e.g. Bring 1 litre instead of the 2 & rely on this to cover the shortfall.

>It's not worth it.

Not yet. Cutting edge near prototype stuff rarely is "worth it".
Interesting question. I have no idea. I suggest you shop it around as a new "Ask HN" question and as a question on security.stackexchange.com.
If a project name was trademarked, you might be able to get them for trading on that name, maybe?
It's written by an investor, right? If so, yes it's marketing.
No. There are only a few properties of functional programming that help performance, and they are mostly spent compensating for the overhead typically imposed by high-level languages:

* Easier parallelisation (although compiler auto-parallelisation has turned out to not work well in practice).

* Compacting garbage collectors can mimimise fragmentation, and thus improve locality. This is not specific to functional languages, though, but a general benefit of automatic memory management.

* For pure languages, you may be able to implement generational garbage collectors slightly more efficiently, as no object of an older generation will have references to objects in a young generation. This is a very fragile property though - even laziness breaks it - and I'm not sure anyone has tried to use it in practice.

* Purity means that the compiler has to be less careful about optimisations and can make more assumptions about the code. This is part of what makes automatic (or semi-automatic) loop fusion practical in functional languages.

In general, I would not say that functional-style languages "perform well". They perform "well enough", but naive performance is not the reason to pick a functional language over an imperative one.
Is it that the drug laws don't work, or like so many things, that people don't understand the incentive structures?

They're obviously working for many groups. They only don't work if we take the goal of the drug war at face value.
The non-funny thing is 99.99999999% of people won't understand the basics of calculus is such a time span.

She's also worked for NASA, in additional to being a wet work astrobiologist. Meaning she has a high level of intelligence, experience working with technology, and the ability to improvise tools. Those all sound like great credentials.

Honestly Computer Science used to be so open to outsiders, now it's "If you don't have a degree we don't believe you."

That's really bad. Especially considering the alternative theory involves her pulling the wool over the eyes of both AH and Marissa Mayer for ten million dollars.

I have worked as a full stack engineer who also dabbles in devops for the last 3 years. My best asset is my ability to learn and adapt quickly which has helped me solved a varied set of challenges. I have built large micro-service backends, tackled large ETL problems, crafted hardware and software for dealing with lots of HD video, optimized full stacks to operate at scale, and engineered complete automation and monitoring of it all running on EC2.

I am looking for a position where I can have a large impact and work with really smart people that I can learn from. I don't much care about the size of the company, but the organizations that will be most appealing to me will have a solid pedigree and have shown that they are viable.

If you are interested in talking more, it would be really helpful to me if you included a description of what problem you are trying to solve, who your investors are, what stage your company is in, and a short description of your engineering process and team.

Well, truth be told Drupal is 13 years old and WordPress 11 years old. I am sure that they both had a lot of time to add tons of features so I am thinking that the gap between them is more in theory, judging by their roots, and less in practice. I know that WordPress has for example BuddyPress for social networking / communities and a number of (free) e-commerce plugins as well.
Is anyone on this thread using Slack (or Hipchat et al) outside of development? I've seen it be useful (along with Hipchat) with development and, to a lesser extent, design (UX/UI) - but outside of that no one seems interested. Just curious if others have the same experience. I was talking to a VP of Sales from another company that had adopted Flowdock and asked her what she thought of it - her response: "I hate it." Saw the same reaction to Salesforce Chatter.

With $120m, I hope they bring group video chat to Slack and a dedicated windows client.
Feel free to jump in the Gitter or email me about them. The networking stuff is usually the last mile in OpenStack and is hard to script for a variety of systems. Happy to add to them if I can make it easier for you!
Ask HN: How to Get an Front-end Dev Internship in Japan?
Hi, this is my first ever post in HN, and i wanted to ask how can i get or if there is anyone willing to give an internship to Japan.

So I am an undergraduate student, studying for COS and INF, and i have been working for the past 2 years as a Front-end Developer, and well i don't want to graduate without having a proper internship, but the tricky thing is that i want to do it in Japan. Why Japan? Well because i love Japanese culture and i want to use the internship as a traveling excuse to Japan :).

Well in the past weeks i have searched online for Japanese Job boards, but without any success, so i thought maybe i can ask the Good people of HN :).

Also if there is any startup CEO in here who would like to have a highly motivated person, who loves what he does and give him an opportunity, that would be awesome.
