No, the guy your company brings in to give diversity pep talks doesn't rise to the level of "acquaintance".

Love the innovative thinking. Do you think there could realistically be any useful use-cases for this though?

I really wouldn't be able to think of any off the top of my head...

This is correct. A bit of state (an indentation width stack) in the lexer creates the block boundaries as clearly for the interpreter as normal braces does.

Any problems in parsing are typically only encountered by stateless parsers.

Well there are thousands upon thousands of questions on SO which are not closed, so some people apparently still manage to ask in such a way that the questions are not closed. But of course it could be totally random as you suggest. But can you provide an example of a quality question that was in line with the SO guidelines, but still closed?
I think you're making my point, only people hanging out on HN and other similar circles know what CalTech is...Go out there and ask random people about CalTech... :) CalTech is a first-rate academic institution but it's prestige is limited to those who actually know what it is about.

My reference to the "first black president" has less to do with race or racial preference but rather for the sort of social change it represents. When you take the entire social history of the United States, a first black president is a monumental change and the institutions (academic or otherwise) that can claim any part of the credit for that, are falling over themselves to do so.

Again, my point is that the preoccupation people have with Schools like Harvard isn't about academics but prestige.

My name is Martin and I work as a Platform Engineer at Lifesum myself.

Cheers, and thanks a lot to everyone that applied and contacted me with questions!
Founder here. This is just an example what you can do with Collect.

This is my first web app, let alone SaaS. It was built in golang. I would love any feedback you can give me, from general to specific.
True, and fried appalams are tastier anyway.

We're a high-growth company with a small engineering team (11 of us) across our web platform and data engineering teams.

I watched one of the movies in the 80's, and I remember my dad liked the series, but I grew up in another country and never got to watch it. I've always had the desire to. Do you have any tips on which version/generation of the series it would be best to begin with?
On the other hand... nobody's really got decentralised spam prevention working, and the only really effective anti-spam systems that I know of rely on hidden data, which implies centralisation.

The only serious ways of dealing with it are pay-per-use, which disproportionately affects certain subsets of the population, or web-of-trust, which nobody's got working for reputation on a grand scale yet.

New York City, NYC NY Justworks - http://www.justworks.com We are building a platform for people to administer every part of their business, starting with payroll, benefits, compliance and tax filing. We've also built out PTO tracking, some reporting/analytics features and a B2B payments feature. We aren't just about payroll.

We are a PEO, which means we coemploy our customers employees (similar to Trinet/Ambrose or ADP Total Source, if you've ever heard of those). Because of that we're able to do a lot of really cool things including offer health insurance at a massive discount, as well as bring many other benefits traditionally reserved for large companies to startups and SMBs. We're growing very quickly (35-40% month over month) and just raised a $6mm series A from Thrive, Index, a few others[1]. Our founders are former Amazon, Etsy and Groupon executives who have had successful startups in the past.
We handle payments and lots of very sensitive information (bank numbers, social security numbers etc.) so we need people who are comfortable working in that environment. Basically we're looking for senior level engineers to help build the foundation for a really awesome engineering org. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions (will@justworks.com). We're also hiring in sales.

If interested, please email blake@coolhouselabs.com with a brief intro and link to your portfolio.

Come build something awesome with us this summer!
I find it highly likely you put as much time into finding the source as you did writing this comment.

Nevertheless: https://github.com/miguelfreitas/twister-core. Also the paper: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1312.7152v1.pdf.
I read IRIN, Trust.org, and reliefweb.

Edit: curious that this got downvoted so rapidly when OP specifically mentions wanting to keep track of things like wars, which these sites all cover, while discarding flavor-of-the-week scandals, which again these sites avoid.

Nilas | https://www.nilas.com/ | San Francisco, CA (Mission) | Frontend (JS), Design, Backend (Systems+Ops)

Hi! We're Nilas (pronounced ny-las) and our team is building the next generation email platform, starting with beautiful APIs.

Developers depend on our APIs, so we have to be reliable, up all the time, and fast. We have more data for a single user than in most startups' entire database. That means big technical challenges to solve as we scale our fledgling distributed backend. We've also been working on a new email client, and we're looking for product designers and front-end engineer. We're using React, Flux, and a fork of Atom Shell. More here: http://www.nilas.com/blog/splitting-the-atom

== More about us ==

• Backend: Python, Flask, gevent, nginx, MySQL, AWS, and Debian.

• Frontend: Coffeescript, React, (Re)Flux, WebSQL, Atom Shell (NodeJS + Chromium)

• Like open source? Us too-- check it out: https://github.com/inboxapp

• We're 40% women on our team of 13 (12 engineers), including 1 of 2 cofounders. We want to make that number 50%.

• Our sunny Mission office is more lived-in than tidy. Think art studio, not corporate. Our team is more likely to end up in Yosemite or on a bike ride together than drinking at the latest startup event.

• We have a flexible vacation policy and value personal responsibility and ownership. Benefits include full health, dental, vision, commuter, and lunch at the office every day. Some remote work / work-from-home is OK too.

Apply at https://www.nilas.com/jobs and mention HN. We love it when candidates let us know what draws them to the job, and we encourage applications from women, LQBTQ folks, and people of colour.

Some recent press: http://techcrunch.com/2015/01/27/next-gen-email-platform-nil...
In case anyone else is confused, like I was (and I imagine spellcheck is to blame): I'm pretty sure the parent means "Haml", not "Halm".

According to haml.info:

"Haml is a markup language that’s used to cleanly and simply describe the HTML of any web document without the use of inline code. Haml functions as a replacement for inline page templating systems such as PHP, ASP, and ERB, the templating language used in most Ruby on Rails applications. However, Haml avoids the need for explicitly coding HTML into the template, because it itself is a description of the HTML, with some code to generate dynamic content."
