Location: remote, Twin Cities

Self-taught everything. Can run a company or man the stack. For the last year I've focused on web-based APIs with back-ends to manage them. I can whip up production-ready stuff really quick.

Ruby/Rails, Postgresql/MySQL, Redis; HTML/jQuery/SASS; I can manipulate and manage front-ends as well, but I am by no means considered a "front-end developer"; I'm also very well-versed in fraud prevention (see previous posts)

> You must null check a lot of things in C, especially since there is no graceful error handling (try/catch blocks)... C certainly allows things to be null (or garbage) values.

You are correct that adding C as an example language was wrong. C++ on the other hand still stands.

> I'm not sure what you are saying here -- the very notion of pointers do not exist in Java

Java references are just C pointers without pointer arithmetic.
Isn't that what Clinkle was supposed to be using? It was supposed to be the hot new tech that could replace NFC. Or something or other...

A single stream had 12 viewers watching, the site is composed of multiple streams.

Perhaps the point was people from all over the world are using it rather than the product being popular only in a single region of the world?

I'd say your logic is more misguided then mystifying.

And what is stopping them from having the placeholders a specific size, instead of expanding them when the javascript finally loads/starts up? If that sort of thing was unfeasible to do then fine, I'll give you your point. But they have no excuse. So they're either just too lazy to do it properly (and enjoy the nice mis-clicks on ads) or they just like the mis-clicks on ads and did it purposefully.

The primary advantage of Redis is native data types and access patterns beyond simple key-values: lists, sets, sorted sets, hash tables, pub/sub, hyperloglog, and scripting (lua) support.

Being memory-based was simply a feature but not necessarily something that set it apart: Memcached had that area pretty well locked down for being a blazing fast key-value store. And then Membase was basically memcached + persistence and clustering. Now Redis has clustering too!

I agree re data science. If you're doing statistics or machine learning (one huge industry there is finance), Python is unrivaled. I do mostly Rails, and I'm very happy there, but I've thought about learning more Django just so it's easier to incorporate Python ML code, and also because a lot of the companies with interesting ML work are using Python for everything else too.
Technical Lead for impact comapny- Chicago, IL

SHIFT is a web and mobile fundraising platform that sends cash directly to women around the world and tracks impact overtime. We recently graduated from Impact Engine business accelerator in Chicago and are closing a seed round. We need a top notch impact driven Technical Lead that can lead our technology and team forward. If you are a full-stack engineer with RoR background contact Founder Tricia Martinez at tricia@shiftwomen.com! Yay Impact!
While I believe both are real risks, I also believe catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (CAGW) is only certain for those who have something to gain from the immediate actions to combat it. Ice is melting, seas are rising, storms are getting more powerful. But, are we not able to adapt? Under Kyoto, the forgone economic growth would put us in a much worse position to do something about adapting (rebuilding, relocation, drought assistance, etc.). And who knows, there might be other things we will have to adapt to besides changes in climate in the future. Improving our living conditions and technology is the best option. Out of that will come solutions to CAGW.

Despite a couple of bad preventable accidents, Nuclear is safe and the only clear economic solution to the CO2 emission issue.
Chicago, IL or REMOTE - Full Stack Engineer @ Spantree - http://www.spantree.net

Web Front End: Angular, Backbone, React
Web Back End: Spring Boot, Grails
Data Stores: Elasticsearch, Postgres, MongoDB, Redis, Couchbase, Neo4J
Clustered Systems: Mesos, Marathon

Who we are

============

Spantree is a boutique software engineering firm based in Chicago, with some members scattered around the western hemisphere. We're looking for an engineer who's not afraid to tinker and break things. You should enjoy solving tough problems, coming up with novel solutions and delivering a polished product.

We're a small team with a fairly flat organizational structure. Everyone has specialties, but everyone is encourage to work on every aspect of a project.

We love sharing and open source. We constantly hunt for better and smarter ways to do things. And, since we're often pushing our software and our systems, you should feel comfortable communicating with developers in the open source community. Pull requests to open source projects are highly encouraged.

What we work on

==============

Our clients range from small and scrappy startups to large enterprise companies. We have 3-7 projects going at any point in time. We tend to focus on greenfield development, building web applications from the ground up. We also work on integrating the old with the new, bringing technologies like Mesos, Elasticsearch and Drools to large companies. Helping people make better decisions is the central theme of most of our projects. This can take the form of a search engine to help people find interesting stuff to do on a Saturday night, a complex rules-oriented workflow management system for evaluating health insurance claims, helping people find the right doctor, or a matchmaking and scheduling system to help people book face-to-face meetings at conferences. In the next year or two, we also plan to get into product development, taking our experiences solving the same sort of problems for multiple clients and rolling them into a generic framework which we plan to open source and support directly for our clients and the rest of the world.

Contact us

Drop us a line at jobs@spantree.net and tell us a bit about yourself. If you have a resume or CV, feel free to pass that along as well. Github and LinkedIn profiles are also helpful. We're looking forward to hearing from you!

Adwords has had a policy against ads for malware for many years now. (I helped develop an earlier version of that policy.) But it's not entirely effective. Unreviewed ads, poorly reviewed ads, and ads for sites that just barely skirt the boundaries of being malware are all regular problems. For some historical perspective, here's a 2007 article: http://www.infoworld.com/article/2663560/application-develop...

Thanks for sharing that. It's one of the more interesting DS vids I've seen. However, and this is subjective, it still looks clunky and slow. I also don't care for the aesthetics.

From what I've seen of Bloodborne play, both of these concerns have been addressed. The removal of sword and boarding and the non fantasy/medieval setting make it so much more appealing to me than DS ever was. Just my personal opinion.

Depends on how you interpret the "argument." If the argument is "all software projects can/should 'keep it simple'" then yes, it's clearly a logical fallacy.

But if the argument is "'keep it simple' works for some software projects," one example proves the point. This seems the more generous interpretation.

Challenge: disruptive for the blind
Can you send out an email to some of your tech friends? I am looking for some disruptive technology for the blind. There is a high school girl here in NH -- she is a STEM nut but has limitations learning with current technology. She wants to take notes in Braille and follow along with the instructor. Currently she uses an IPAD hooked ot a Braille board but she cannot keep up with the instructor and with the rest of the class. SHe wants to be like the other students where she listens, follows along in a book and takes notes. One day she wants to go to college and do what other kids are doing but this technology limitation is making things difficult for her.
I suggested two I Pads. One for assistive technology with a braile connector and the second for her to follow along in a book and take notes. A bit unworkable -- perhaps an app that would open up two panes one with the book and the other for notes. Something with the assistive technology working seamless with her notetaking.

She wants to own her own technology business one day. Can you help make her dream come true?

All professional programmers should continually read Martin Fowler's "Refactoring", in the same way English professors read Shakespeare.

"Refactoring" does not mean "previous programmer was an idiot". Often, the understanding of the problem and the way the code is used change over time. Refactoring is a way of bringing the out-of-control weeds back into healthy symbiosis with the larger garden of code.

I stopped telling clients a long time ago that I'm "refactoring" and instead I just add some extra time to all tasks to account for refactoring on legacy code.
Seriously? Hire local. 90% of my observed interactions with off-shore outfits ends in disaster or poor performance.

The 10% tends to be developers from the Ukraine. Which might be less than ideal currently.

Oh , I think there is a misunderstanding going on here , Maybe I describe it in bad way , By replacing I didn't mean installing ubuntu on chromebook , I just want switch away from this whole gtk/qt/unity/gnome/kde/xfce/cinnamon/mate non-sense.
Main thing I am looking for is how is crosh , when you using it in heavy way (gcc,emacs etc).
> I would guess the reason for any downvote is the question you're asking is directly addressed by TFA, so it strongly implies you didn't bother to read it.

Yeah, in hindsight I can see how some might assume that. I did read the article but was very confused by it. I was having a particularly dim moment and just couldn't fathom JWT's out (I guess we all have days where even the simple things don't seem to mentally "click"?)

Thankfully yourself and others have done a good job explaining things (reiterating where necessary).

Thank you :)
In many languages, including French, sometimes the past and present tense sound the same and are even spelled the same. The world hasn't exploded yet. People figure out ways to get their meaning across.

Also, dictionaries based on accepted usage (ask ten random native speakers whether they consider spelling ___ to be acceptable) give most of the advantages of dictionaries based on dictate (what the academy thinks).

His attention-seeking, which you've latched on to, was one example of his personality. The links I posted show more of what I was trying to convey. He marches to the beat of his own moral code and changed it on a whim whenever it served his needs.

I brought all that up to say, he leaked for his own benefit, or out of anger for being wronged, or something. What he leaked, whatever you've seen, is what he wanted you to see. He painted his own picture to the world, and the people he wronged can't set the record straight because of national security concerns. Its an unfair fight.

Everyone is convinced NSA is out to get them, to monitor them, invade their privacy. throwing the law out the window and carte blanche having their way with whatever data they want.

NSA I'm sure, has a huge legal team. Before they worked at NSA, the lawyers passed the bar. They took an oath to uphold the law. They wouldn't just let people break the law, if for no other reason than, they might get caught. I'm also pretty sure each DoD entity has an IG department. If someone does something wrong, and gets caught, they get in a lot of trouble.

There is a whole series of checks and balances in place. If something is wrong, its the law you have a beef with.

And again to answer your question, he leaked what he wanted, painted the picture he wanted, manipulated people to believe whatever he wants them to, knowing he couldn't be contradicted. He could literally say whatever he wants at this point and people gobble it up. People believe what they want, based on what he says, without ever pretending to consider the idea of possibly entertaining the idea of giving the DoD the benefit of the doubt.

As we scale, we’ll focus on building tools for candidates to organize, search, and discover new job opportunities. In our view of the future, job candidates don’t receive unsolicited outreach from recruiters and companies don’t pay placement fees for the vast majority of their hires. Job search is organized and talented candidates have more high-quality options.

We’re built with Python/Flask, Javascript/Node.js, PostgreSQL, Elastic Search, S3. We're looking for engineers that care deeply about open-source technology. Special bonus if he/she has a data background.

If I recall Costa Rica has a 100% import tax on cars. Not everyone has or can afford a car there. What would be really interesting is if they were to remove or lower that tariff for electric vehicles it could for example make a Nissan Leaf the cheapest new car you could get in the country.
