SEEKING WORK Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Remote OK - Relocation OK.

I start working with open source at age of 17 always related to Python and Web, I keep doing it until today, I had worked with several startups regarding several topics

I Love Django since 0.96 (I'm the maintainer of the defacto thumbnail app for Django http://github.com/mariocesar/sorl-thumbnail), I had also worked with Pylons and Flask extensively, in my early days I worked with PHP doing ERP's and Wordpress development, the more recent years I had been involved in team management and reducing complexity on existing projects and make sure projects can scale in the technical aspect, with the time I'm being know as a problem solver for complex scenarios.

I work with http://humanzilla.com as an independent software consultant or with a team of two more developers, all with similar experience, as a company we have deal with early stage startups supporting product creation and creating all the product from scratch.

Python, Django, Ansible, Linux Administration, AWS, Heroku, Docker, Backbone, Less, Git, Mercurial, among others are my daily tools for my goals.

I'm always open to talk, even if it's not about job. I had found great people in HN in previous post like this,

I'm glad that even I don't get a gig I was able to be helpful and get new friends and contacts just by having a friendly conversation.

SEEKING WORK - REMOTE / NYC

I've been working with Rails full time since 2006. Damn, that makes me feel old. The ideal position for me is in a short-term capacity with a young Ruby- or Rails-focused team. I will bring 17 years software development experience and a massive amount of practical Rails tricks. You bring a team that's hungry to improve and we will learn from each other. https://colinabartlett.com
Yea, it bothers me as well. Trusting blogs for security vulnerabilities spread across the internets isn't the model to be aiming for.
Virtru | Washington, DC or REMOTE | Fulltime | Javascript fullstack, Android, iOS, .NET

== Who we are ==

https://virtru.com/how-it-works

Everyone has a right to keep their digital content private and secure. We founded Virtru because we believe that exercising that right should be easy and convenient.

Virtru allows you to send end-to-end encrypted email using your existing email address and existing email provider with the flip of a switch.

We have browser extensions for Chrome/Firefox, apps for iPhone and Android, and a plugin for Outlook desktop.
Our full time team of ~20 is currently 50% engineers. We value automated testing, readable/maintainable code, documentation, and code reviews. We run in 2 week sprints and dedicate about 20% of total capacity to things the dev team thinks are important (technical debt, refactoring, exploring a new technology, etc), while the rest goes to feature development and addressing bugs.

We are well capitalized with investments from Bessemer Venture Partners [0] and private investors.

== Current positions ==

We are currently hiring full stack NodeJS/Javascript developers to support our front and backends and a .NET developer to support our Outlook desktop plugin.

I work on the backend, so I can provide some details on that role. Our client facing API services are built on Express.js. We currently run in the AWS cloud and are looking for someone with experience deploying/maintaining services/infrastructure who can also help add new functionality to the application layer.

We are working on building out an automated and immutable infrastructure using Packer, Ansible, Terraform/CloudFormation, and other tools. If that sounds exciting, we’d love to hear from you!

Some things we play with on the backend: NodeJS, ExpressJS, PassportJS, AWS (EC2, SQS, S3, IAM), CouchDB, Packer, Ansible, ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), HAProxy 1.5, PagerDuty.

== Get in touch ==

If you care about privacy and are interested in creating security products at a company which thinks that user experience is a first class citizen, please get in touch! Send a secure email (using Virtru!) to feedback@virtru.com with subject “HN who is hiring response” and tell us what interests you about Virtru. It would be great if you can provide some sample code that we can check out (github, bitbucket, etc), but is not a requirement.

If you have any questions, I’ll monitor this thread and/or you can email me directly (email in profile).

Why do you say it's a simple method, if it is 150 lines long? Are some lines not necessary?

There is a logic to keeping logic together if it is isolated: http://number-none.com/blow/john_carmack_on_inlined_code.htm...

Context is important, to anyone developing D3 code, this code might be obvious and comments would be unnecessary. Considering 'geterdone' attitude of many game projects, with high levels hackery, this is very nice code.
I think there's a key difference: there is a niche of Linux desktop users. They'll probably never be very big (not in the foreseeable future, at least), but they're there and since they tend to be power users they're sort of self-supporting.

In contrast, I don't see Firefox OS carving out a similar niche, though I'd really like it to. It doesn't really do anything the others don't do (and it's missing a lot of what they can do), the devices are uniformly pretty terrible, and the strategy seems simply to be to compete for the low end. Unfortunately, the low end is being targeted by pretty much everyone but Apple, so they've got plenty of competition and no real value proposition.
Since the graph only has variables and the explanations are mentioned in the text, you have to keep cross referencing.
Well maybe they should stop allowing download sites that offer ad infected downloads to buy the top spots on the google search results page? https://i.imgur.com/Ote9c2k.png

Adwords is probably one of the main infection vectors for malware these days.

I can agree with these facts.
I just give them a different weight than you do: I don't like the incertitude of the 'serialization failures': it depends on a workload that can be difficult to predict, especially if you're a software vendor. YMMV :-)
Thanks for the constructive feedback.
Location: Philadelphia; Detroit (soon)

Remote: Yes, likely mandatory

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies:

Professionally: C#, Xamarin/Xamarin Forms (iOS/Android), Ruby, Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, Scala

Hobby/Exposure: Go, Erlang/Elixir, C, Rust, Java

Resume: Please email me for my resume.

Email: orteipid@icloud.com

About: I'm a developer presently living in Philadelphia but relocating to Detroit in the near future. I'm currently happy with where I am and what I'm doing but always open to a change if the role and offer are right. I presently work on mobile application development using Xamarin and C#, with a background in developing web applications using Ruby/Rails and Scala/Scalatra. In future roles I would prefer to stick to application development or the backend, but I'm also interested in learning more about large datasets as well as machine learning, both of which I have not been involved with.

A flexible schedule is very desirable. I am okay working with teams based both in the US as well as overseas. I have a year's worth of experience working remotely, and given my present situation in life this would more than likely be mandatory, with periodic travel to the main office certainly being possible. Please email me if you would like to speak further.
You can't trust open source repos either; you can only verify them.

And is anyone really reading all of the code they run before they run it? With all of its third-party dependencies?

I don't think open source repositories are safer because they're open source, but precisely because there is no commercial benefit to shoveling BS into them. In fact, with the bigger commercial open source software, you often do see crap you don't want being included as a means to funnel users into commercial channels.

Weren't all April fools' posts supposed to be placed on the other thread? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9302010
Well, that depends if you read that has a "repository of open source software" or a "repository that is open source". Sourceforge doesn't qualify as the latter.

Well, what's interesting about the ccTLDs is that their "meaning" was purely organizational, but very clear-cut - you could trust that .us was under the ultimate authority of the US government, and that .ly was under Libyan control, no matter how ridiculous their policy for granting those domains was.

But yeah, I think bit.ly and friends really messed up a lot of the logic people expected from the DNS.
I'm a developer/designer/writer who's worked in business development.

I'm surprised they are doing this. I wonder how much it is costing them in lost revenue/sales?

EDIT: I see what they did there now. It is, as someone else mentioned in comments, just an image that fades away when you click anywhere on it.
I only realized this was an April Fools' day joke when they actually said "Samsung responds to Apple" in their press release.

Good job but yeah I'm already tired of April Fools day jokes. The idea is to get hit by one or two. But the internet's made it so you get hit by 50 of them.
He didn't say all open source is trustworthy, only that closed source is not. And Sourceforge, the repository itself is not open source.

Of course the proper translation for "accès sans fil" is "wireless access", but the author points out that it is translated "literally", and indeed "sans fil" literally means "without wire".
Yes, that's an excellent point, I highly doubt anybody verifies what they install end-to-end. We all put a lot of trust in reputations and a couple of checksums.
For the range they display, that is true.

Without JS I can still read the text, so it's not like it's loading it through JS (unlike some other blog sites...)

I have it off by default so I get a lot of messages like that. If I can see the content I want, I just ignore them.
Fair points, although all references should ideally be const unless there are side effects. It's not perfect though, since you can't tell from just viewing the calling code, you have to check the function prototype.

References also help avoid problems with pointer aliasing, and make it clear that the called function definitely cannot delete the passed objects. So it's more than just syntactic sugar.

(n.b. I'm not arguing that pointers are bad and should never be used, I still just don't see a clear reason never to use references. The id Software coders are smart, they must have had good reason to pick their choice)
I also hate open office plans. Everyone needs a little bit of privacy if not much during their work.

I won't feel good if my manager/co-worker comes to my desk at the time when I was just switching to some music on youtube. It can give a wrong impression of you even when you know you were not doing the wrong thing.
>not sure why they keep doing this

Because it gets them attention.

Personally I find it irritating.
