Hi lnanek,

This is the underlying model. We hope to find you matches on the spot, but if we can't then whenever a match appears we will notify you immediately via email that a match has been generated.

The majority of the jobs on the site are based in London right now, with some in New York and San Francisco. If you enter one of those locations you are more likely get a match.

On our end we are working to improve the way location is recorded so that we can cater for people with varying levels of specificity when it comes to where they want to work e.g. Anywhere, Europe, France, Paris

Is there a page where we can test out these new captchas? I'm curious about how they work in the wild, and this post only shows gifs.
I see "I am not a robot" but when I click on it I get a Captcha. So??
It's actually the other way round for the Captcha posted and most recaptchas I've seen. The easy to read word is the OCR and the hard one is the real captcha.

Unlicensed code does not grant permission to use, in fact it's the exact opposite.

The server is not pushing the source to you so that you can take it and use it in your own projects. It's pushing the source because that's how the browser will run the program.

Of course you CAN take and use the code. But you MAY not.

You didn't actually explain why this is a terrible idea?

At the end of the day it enables developers to access native APIs such as notifications or file writing through their language of choice.
This is a very misguided comment.

Dart and JavaScript are both completely dynamically typed. The Dart VM and V8 both use inline caches to remember what types are flowing to what call sites. Both optimize monomorphic call sites the best and megamorphic call sites the worst. I know of no "blacklist" in the Dart VM.

More people should be upvoting this. Especially Americans.

Even more so, any American with children, like me. The treatment this guy received is unethical at best - if the adults in charge don't know what the (insert expletive here) they are doing when being paid for it, harassing an educated person, regardless of age, because they are smarter & better with technology is in no way a solution.

What we need to do is stop educating the Americans we have, "Free speech," if these policies are reflective of the modern nation state we've built. If that's not the case and we still value some form of, "Free speech," then the way this has been handled should be investigated and dealt with.

Not yet another Benghazi investigation. Seriously.

I like the article but really if resumes suck then what doesn't. Companies look at resumes for 1-2 minutes on top will they ever have time to browse through hundreds of lines of code, projects, portfolios, etc. I don't think so.

3 levels.

The third is the opt-out censorship to protect the children from file sharing, vpn & privacy related info, extreme content (gore), extreme political content (neo-Nazi, maybe even Britian First related but not confirmed), sex related, etc.

By censoring file sharing & privacy related content, it does damange the "path" to becoming a programmer for some people. I know that if these were filtered by default I'd have never learnt how to program.

Just give us your full name. How is this better?

> It would have been much better to utilize environment variables so the only thing that changed between environments was those variables.

I strongly prefer commandline arguments to environment variables: They're more transparent, easier to reason about ("what's running on this server? `ps`... oh, that process there is running in the staging configuration instead of production"), and it saves useless sudos (/proc/<pid>/environ has mod bits 0400, so if the processes you're investigating are running as separate users (and they probably should be), you can't inspect the actual environment that the process has, so you end up sudo'ing to check the environment out when you should have all the information you need in the process list).

If the environment variables are just interpolated into the run script by the deploy and then all passed to the process as arguments, that works too.
totally agree. What about testing EJBs?, it was painful for me, it took me many hours.
So by your definition, any app that contains any code that requires any type of interpreter is no longer a native app? That's just silly.

Nowhere does it say that it has to be run exclusively through the webview using only HTML/JS. Only the javascript API is run through the webview. Whether you choose to use only a webview is up to you, you're not limited to strictly HTML like many other similar solutions.
Sorry I was unclear. 32 bits architecture can mean a lot of different things (buss sizes, address word sizes, and so on). Mostly I am done with small pointers (having to use segments to address all of your memory, or not being able to memory-map a disk sucks) and small counters (only being able to put signed 32 bit integers into a collection sucks).

I totally agree with what Justin has mentioned. All these things can be learned for free. I am a big fan of what Justin has been doing and his Videos are simple and easy to follow. I've been doing Unix/Linux system admin for the last 10 years and would like to explore Devops myself.

You can checkout http://linuxacademy.com/ (I am not affiliated to them in anyway what so ever). During my search for the DevOps training I found their website. They follow a Team Treehouse kind of a model (learn at your own pace) and charge around $25 per month. I haven't tried that myself but their AWS content (All tracks) and DevOps track looks pretty solid.

I'm not sure about the "Useless Blocking Sucks" paragraph, it's very opinionated and using the play framework in production is nothing I would recommend for enterprise deployments. The technology is still very immature and I do not see that the overhead of an extra thread per request would matter.
For future reference, there are shared-ride hotel shuttles that operate out of McCarran:

https://www.mccarran.com/Go/Shuttles.aspx

They are the cheapest option (usually <$15 round-trip) to get from LAS to your hotel but, like any shared-ride setup, it's gonna be a wait for the bus to arrive and a longer wait while you drop others off. Las Vegas is a unique situation where people try to scramble as fast as they can from airplane seat to casino seat and they tend to miss this option and sprint straight for the cab line.

> Sometimes however, authors consider their book(s) as their 'life's work'. It's hard to imagine giving it away for free.

I don't think of my book as necessarily my life's work, but it's certainly one of the most significant things I've done. People can read it online without paying cash, but I don't think of that as being "free".

I do get compensated, even then. Every time someone tells me they liked my book, or enjoy my writing style, or finally understand something they've struggled with, it feels absolutely fantastic. Given how much money we spent purchasing good feelings, in many ways I feel like I just cut out the middle man. :)

> A related point that I have always wondered about is deciding the price of your creation. For stable businesses it is perhaps a straightforward thing to name the price of a creation, but I imagine it would be hard for an author to come up with the price of her book.

I just did the obvious thing: looked at a bunch of similar products and priced it in the same ballpark.

Hi, as a project contributor and early adoptor I can tell you the following:

Macgap has evolved to Macgap2 which is a complete rewrite thanks to Tim Debo. It's a very fast and lightweight solution that won't get in your way for app store submission.

With Macgap you can also mix native code and html components. I personally prefer it over node webkit which is a very heavy shell (80mb compared to macgaps 1mb).

Overall it's another option to code desktop apps with a web toolbelt. You can throw your favorite js libraries into the mix and get full steam ahead.

Now that swift is out the barrier to go fullstack native is lower than ever but for the one or other there might be a good reason to use web technologies.

The problem is not necessarily with Java or the JVM as a technology, but rather the "Java shop culture"[1] that often goes along with it. Although I would call it "Enterprise shop culture" instead, since it seems to stem from people who (sometimes unknowingly) perpetuate big company politics and a consultant attitude, even in startups.

I've found "Java shop culture" in non-Java places as well--C#/.NET for example.

Intermodulation in this case is distortion that wasn't in the source material. It's a product of the failings of the playback system to perfectly recreate high frequencies without distorting the lower ones, and will vary depending on which system it is played on.

Certainly some people find certain kinds of distortion pleasant, but the people arguing for 192kHz claim increased fidelity, not pleasing distortion - when it is just the opposite for any stereo that introduces these artefacts.
"See http://journal.bookfinder.com/2009/03/breakdown-of-book-cost... and http://ireaderreview.com/2009/05/03/book-cost-analysis-cost-... for some examples of real world publisher cost breakdowns."

The first link is (a) talking about John Grisham, not technical books or even most fiction ("$2.00 - Marketing - Book tour, NYT Book Review ad, printing and shipping galleys to journalists"), and (b) double counting the wholesaler/distributor ("$2.80 - Wholesaler - The take of the middlemen who handle distrobution for publishers" as well as "Most books are sold to retailers at X% discount of the cover price by the wholesalers. ... [S]o we can assume a midlist novel might be 20-30%").

The five thoughts at the end of the second are...interesting:

"There are a lot more stages and costs than anyone would imagine.

"This convoluted process can be optimized in innumerable ways – Mr. Bezos would be hard pressed to find a more ‘improvable/kaizenable’ business model.

"Everyone who works for publishing companies claims that there is little money to be made and everyone does it for the love of it. Not sure if this is a function of profits not being shared with employees or there simply are no profits.

"There is huge consolidation of power...

"The number of people employed is staggering. A bail-out for Publishing doesn’t seem as crazy an idea.

"[There are immediately obvious optimization opportunities.]"

No one should complain about anything, ever.
The same advice as always: There's no one true answer. They're about equal, so mess with both and move forward with the one you feel most comfortable with. Or Node.js.

Play with them all and decide which one you enjoy the most.

I'm not sure what your point is exactly.

Making money is about making things people want. Colonizing Mars is the thing that people want; and every step towards that goal (launch vehicles, human spacecraft, etc) bootstraps them onto the next step. Much like how Amazon works; they forfeit profit today to invest in not just tomorrow, but several decades from now.

QuickRake Revisited: What We Learned from Building Our First Product
In which case find a new job. I don't understand why people stick with these hell holes for engineers when there are many opportunities to be found elsewhere. You can even find remote work so even if you're stuck in a small town with only one Java employer and you have a family and can't move you can still find that dream remote job with modern tooling and practices.

If you apply to these remote jobs but aren't getting hired, that's a solvable problem too. Keep trying to learn more, self-improving and keep applying.

I'm not saying the service has no potential value, rather that it doesn't fulfill the "don't get hacked" reprise by notifying you after the fact.

The notification could allow you to fix the problem once it has happened but any hacker with reasonable sophistication can download data and change passwords in an automated fashion long before you can finish reading the notification.
I disagree with Kay on his assessment of OO, I disagree that he's even the inventor of it (though he coined the term, word out to the Scandinavians and even Sutherland).

I would claim that OOP is not about modularization at all; it is a way of thinking meant to help humans solve problems with a computer. It's a crutch, it is easy to apply, and has lots limitations. FP (thinking in terms of anonymous values vs. named objects) is an alternative, though more experienced programmers often use both ways of thinking where best appropriate (which is why you'll see OOP entity interfaces in languages like Clojure, and lots of immutable structs in C#). Neither can claim a decisive benefit in modularity or code reuse; you have to work extra hard for those.

We can definitely agree to disagree on this.
No really, Java the language is bad. Terrible in fact.

The fact I need an IDE to make it workable (just) highlights this point. J2EE was terrible too, because it showed where things can go, if you let the Java astronaut architects lead.

Some of my most profitable projects were helping to rescue systems by migrating to to an alternative language on the JVM, or off it completely.

The worst part is the damage Java inflicted upon a generation of developers.

I have a problem, I think I will use Java, and Eclipse, and Maven, and all the rest. Now I have twenty thousand problems!

Edit - if you disagree, then say so. Bit spineless to downvote without a valid point to back it up!
You are misinformed. 217k BTC is only a fraction of the monthly volume traded on some of the largest exchanges: they trade 3-6 million BTC per month (http://bitcoinity.org/markets/list?currency=ALL&span=30d), so one could trade 217k spread over 30 days without causing swings. (Only if you did the trade at once, it would cause one sudden swing.)

So this might be off topic but still related, Ghostery blocked 104 trackers from this site. One hundred and four! So given that, I am a bit wary of folks claiming rights of privacy when you are throwing that many tracking devices at me.

--EDIT-- Apparently Ghostery was turned off after an upgrade (I hate when that happens) - and apparently its a recursive tracking nightmare where some load some more, and then more, and then more. I reblocked everything and now I'm showing 8 - but it does balloon to 104 for non-blocking users. If you are brave you can pause blocking and see :)

I have been an enterprise Java dev. Of the things you mention us not doing, we did about half. We mocked external services for unit tests, used git, and did 2 week sprints. My boss had no say on the programming language we wrote services in, I just would have had to convince the rest of my dev team. I doubt that it looks very different at Google or other suitably modern enterprise Java companies. Enterprise doesn't mean shit, it means big.

No. As in working for the common good for free.

We invited people to come up with ways to improve the job market, which is clearly broken. Some chose to do that, while others had their own apps already in mind.

One group made contactr.io, an extension for Google Chrome that shows you the email addresses of the founders of the company website you're visiting.

Another group is working on a project called livelyhood, which will be a sort of LinkedIn 2.0 where candidates can share their work easily.

The participants worked for themselves, helped each other, and walked away with a larger network of people who recognized their qualities.

This weekend was specifically designed for people whose resumes would not automatically "command" a $120K salary. They were the ones languishing in the slush pile.

We held the event on a weekend so that people who already had jobs, albeit jobs they were unhappy with, could join us.

If you like your weekends more than good work, then it definitely would not have been the right fit.
Hey Benjammer,

You make a very good point about content! Its true, that the content on the platform will determine whether the users get value from it. The caveat missing from your model is there are different types of users, with different, often opposing agendas, who might impact that UX.

Suppose for instance, we have a website where the content is generally great tech opportunities with cool companies.

Who's interested in that?

Engineers interested in job discovery might be and that is precisely our target audience. However, there are others who are also interested in that sort of information - recruiters, for instance, looking for leads. Now this is not the community we are trying to serve. In fact, we know that this demographic has the potential to seriously damage the UX of the employers of the others side of the platform (imagine if you signed up as a hiring manager to Workshape and it was advertised as direct employers only - and all you got in return was recruiters hassling you to give them a mandate to recruit for you...). So, we put into place mechanisms which firstly signal who our audience is, and secondly create friction to get in.

We understand that this is at some cost to rapid scale. But we don't value a platform which scales quickly, then equally quickly becomes toxic with the effluent of people who shouldn't be there.

Hope that makes sense! Keep the questions coming - feedback is welcome and necessary.
