ShareLaTeX/DataJoy - UK, full-time, REMOTE, second non-founder developer.

Help us empower scientists by building usable open-source research tools.

We're looking for a remote full-time developer to join our team at ShareLaTeX (https://www.sharelatex.com) and DataJoy (https://www.getdatajoy.com). ShareLaTeX is an online LaTeX editor with over 400,000 registered users, and DataJoy is our new app for online data analysis with Python and R. We're aiming to make these technologies more accessible and easy to use for academics doing data analysis, numerical modelling and statistical analysis.

You should be comfortable quickly learning new technologies and enthusiastic about improving the efficiency of scientists and their tools. Our current technology stack involves Node.js, MongoDB, Redis, Coffeescript, Angular.js, and Docker, so experience in these is useful but not required. We’d rather see that you have demonstrable interest in the problems we are solving, and that you’ve created some great stuff in the past. We would love someone with front-end experience and a good sense of usability design, but we won't discount people with more of a backend focus.

Some reasons you'd enjoy working for us:

* Around 80% of our codebase is open-source and we’re big fans of free software.

* We’re agile (with a lower case a). We test everything (unit and acceptance), we have a CI build process, a full staging environment to play with, and we automate as much as possible.

* We don’t expect you to have to fill up a 9-5, 40 hour work week. A work/life balance is important and we don’t think programming is an activity that can be neatly time boxed.

* You can work fully remotely (in fact, you probably will). All founders and employees work remotely at the moment.

* We’re a bootstrapped company with no outside investors.

Is 8kWh/day realistic? I'm curious, honestly wouldn't know.

Seems like that would be charging and discharging 80% of the 10kWh battery's capacity every day. Would that affect lifespan? Also, it would seem to render the device less useful as a battery backup system during most of the day, since it would be mostly depleted.
A note to companies:

PLEASE do not put the word "remote" in your posting if you do not hire remote employees. It makes scanning for companies that do more difficult. People will assume by default that your company is only local.

Edit: As suggested below, using "on-site only" is a much more find-friendly phrase.

My company, www.drh.net, provides an SAAS or on-premises Mail Transfer Agent, GreenArrow Engine.

You can run it in your network and tightly lock down the system. We can take care of all of the email deliverability setup and operations tasks, if you want.

One advantage of running licensed software on your network is that you don't pay per-message fees, so for higher volume it's really economical compared to a service like SendGrid.

+ 4.5 months constructing the modular parts. But that doesn't sound quite as impressive.
Nice move. But, isn't the competition (OS X) too tough to beat for now? Can't back this up but this seems to be what's happening.
If you look at the database queries (search "placenames" here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cquest/osmfr-cartocss/mast... ), it is largely leaning on population data.

I looked around the local area here and it turns out to be quite reasonable, but there are also more than a couple misses, where the more notable town/village in a pair is suppressed.

In some places that have those general or robot screeners, there's often a place to put the skills the screeners see, and a separate place to attach your CV/resume that the hiring manager actually sees. Then you can over-list on the robo-skill section, and keep it focused on the actual document.

I wonder if there's academic literature on efficacy of university mental health policies. Not all families are supportive or understanding of mental illness and the ensuing disruption of someone's routine can easily make things worse. What good is a counseling service if there's a non-trivial chance that they'll tear what's left of your life fabric apart?
That is partially done with Geohash (http://geohash.org/) and other variants. The actual step here is usage of dictionary words as digits for encoding instead of a bunch of random characters.

Alternatively, such a system can be done by interleaving bitstrings for coordinates then converting the result to base 10000 or something and encoding each digit with a word. By using that you will get a little bit of hierarchy (the coordinates starting with same digits will correspond to sequences starting with same word). In this way we will know which zone starts with e.g. chocolate.kit.photo then it will be easier to navigate. Of course it won't beat a graph-based solution like street and building numbers.
Assuming that his contact was only with a mental health professional, his dismissal strikes me as illegal and unethical. It is absolutely illegal in the United States for a physician to release medical records to anyone without the patient's consent, and mental health records are generally treated as especially sacred. If that is indeed what happened, the college would be exposing themselves to a lot of risk.

I would highly encourage anyone feeling depressed to seek counseling, and for the most part school mental health services are a safe and welcoming place to find help. With that being said, DO NOT share information about your mental health status with non-medical staff at school, as they are not bound by the same rules as physicians and can act on that information. My (unsubstantiated and hopeful) guess is that this is likely what actually led to this student's dismissal.
And is a fraction of the cost, best case, or about the same if you want one capable of powering your entire household load indefinitely. And if you have natural gas service, you don't need to refuel either.

>A Conservative/Labour coalition just isn't conceivable.

Not so. Considering Miliband's professed hatred of the SNP, his lack of interest in an SNP-LAB coalition, and the pro-austerity slant of both Labour and the Tories, I think a CON-LAB coalition isn't at all inconceivable.

It would destroy Labour for the forseeable, but Clegg was perfectly happy to sacrifice the LibDems for a seat at the table.

So I think it's foolish to believe Miliband would never do the same, using similar rationalisations.

There's actually much less ideological space between Labour and the Tories than there is between CON-LAB and everyone else - except UKIP, who are noisy but irrelevant clowns.

Is it likely? Possibly not. But considering no one seriously expected CleggMania to turn into five years of Tory jackboot economics, "inconceivable" is not the right word for the possibility.
it's a real problem. other engineering disciplines have it too - "we don't have the prints anymore" is common in manufacturing - but you can always take apart and measure a mechanical device. reverse engineering software is much more difficult. that's one advantage of open source software, it's easy to archive. we should try to archive bug trackers and mailing lists too.
One point is that if batteries in houses (or electric cars) become more common, there's more incentive for a utility to offer variable pricing, because more people can actually make use of it, letting the utility company get by with less peak capacity.

with a resume and a brief comment on your desire and ability and I'll see that it gets into the pipeline.
That didn't look at all obvious when I replied above, because I was replying to a comment that said, in so many words, "Funny that something called Tesla Energy brings back direct current to the home." No, Tesla Energy is not bringing back direct current to the home. It is providing battery backup for continuing provision of alternating current to the home, which is strictly necessary in a world of appliances that run on AC current. I took the trouble to read the fine article before replying the first time, after first reading the previously posted comments.

(My late dad was an industrial engineer for a company that manufactured electric generators, so this issue immediately jumped into my mind when I saw the comment I replied to. The difference between AC power and DC power was dinner-table conversation in my home when I was growing up.) Does anyone think that my comment above was in any way harmful to the community or to the discussion here?

Boeing 787 software bug can shut down planes' generators IN FLIGHT
This is the best comment in here, thanks.
I agree, but I guess that the generator have a no zero starting time. (Do you have o turn it on manually?) So the battery keeps the electricity for the meanwhile.

Also, the generators are noisier. Perhaps you can turn them off during the night and use only the battery while you are sleeping and the electricity consumption is smaller.
>" but it's not like Elon Musk has saved the world just yet."

"I choose to rent, I choose to have no property rights over the building I live in, I choose to be legally incapable of installing solar panels and batteries on a structure I don't own: Elon Musk has failed me"

Come on now. You made your choice to not be a part of the greater community and culture of property owners.

These options, they're available to owners, not renters.

Did you realize Google Fiber was the same way? As a renter, you have 0 ability to install Google Fiber without your owners permission. (https://support.google.com/fiber/answer/2847916?hl=en)

This is the same.

If you care, you'll petition your landlord to invest in these technologies. Or you'll buy property and change your status to enable yourself materially and legally to be able to do it yourself.

But you can't blame Elon because of your choice to make yourself willingly devoid of the legal authority to make these decisions for yourself.

Elon can never overcome your landlords property rights. Not now, not in 100 years. That's not his failure, it's your choice in a free society. Next time, rent in a location that has these options already installed, or make it known that these are your priorities. I personally have sat down with my landlord and discussed Fiber and the costs and the benefits, and I'm confident he will make that investment on behalf his property. It's not hard to take the initiative and make a case.
SEEKING WORK - Brighton, UK. London, UK. Remote.

Freelance developer based in Brighton (50 minutes from London) but I'm
also in Sheffield once a month. I am flexible, resourceful and
reliable and I can help you turn your ideas into reality.

I work a lot with Python and Javascript to build rich client
browser based and mobile apps. I also do hardware based projects, I
have experience with coding in Assembly and C on various micro
controllers and Arduino development.

I can help you with software development myself and for larger
projects, or projects requiring more diverse skills, I have an
excellent team I can bring on to a project.

Recent projects include an internet controlled football playing robot
and various other Python, Javascript and hardware projects. So

A very non-exhaustive list of technologies I have built real things
with (and enjoyed): Python, Javascript, Django, Node.JS, Backbone.JS,
AngularJS, React Native, OpenCV, D3.js, Arduino.

I've been building stuff with React Native this month. I've released a
couple of open source modules
(https://github.com/almost/react-native-sqlite and

That was the opposite though. There's an obvious difference between making a website HTTPS-only and making a browser HTTPS-only (or blacklisting features for non-HTTPS websites).
Unfortunately this is not true. As someone who posts in here every month I get about 5-10 emails from remotes each month if I don't put that in. Sorry.

Scala and Play is a very fun stack to work with for backend. It has a lot of modern technologies needed to create awesome applications. Scala is slowly becoming more popular among startups in SF and London. Scala is a very fun language and I have enjoyed transitioning from being a Java developer to a Scala developer and learning functional paradigms in Scala.

With my Scala promotion aside, each of the stacks you have listed have great employability. You'll need to ask yourself what kind of things you are wanting to learn while using these stacks:

1. Do you want to use a dynamic language? (Python, Ruby)

2. Do you want to use a statically-typed language? (C#, F#, Java, Scala)

3. Do you want to learn functional programming? (F#, Scala, Python, Ruby)

4. Do you want to work with big data and ML? (Python, Scala)

5. Do you want the highest chance of employability? (C#, Java)
Actually, Word had had compare and merge functionality for documents for some time -- at least Word 2002/2003, maybe earlier.

Also, word docs default format since 2007 are OOXML, so text -- though not necessarily line -- oriented diffing and merging should be possible.
