SEEKING WORK - London or Remote

My name is Luke and I'm a full-stack developer with 15 years experience, specialising in JavaScript applications using Angular, React and Backbone and backend applications using Rails and Go with PostgreSQL, Cassandra and Redis as the datastore(s).

For the past five years I've been running my consulting company through which with the help of my team we have delivered many projects - see my website for a selection at http://sketchconsulting.com/, though please contact me with a description of your project and I will be able to show you more relevant work.

Currently I am available for either solo work or as part of a two man team with my dev partner who is also full-stack with similar skills and has good CSS, design and UX abilities.

I am best suited to medium sized companies who want to move fast while also requiring high quality development to a fixed deadline. My background in open source has taught me that sloppy application architecture is not acceptable.

If you're willing to wait for a client-server round trip to visibly see your changes, then sure. Otherwise, you'll need a way to temporarily (optimistically) change your in-browser data model with the updates while waiting for the server to commit your changes, then figure out a way to reconcile the server commit of v2 while you might have done v3 on the client in the meantime... Optimistic updates are not at all trivial. Meteor has a ton of code that basically runs an in-RAM version of MongoDB and keeps it in sync with the server.

Google, Microsoft and Facebook are no safe place from snooping by governments, whether they use strong or weak cryptography.
Lisp was the hot new thing in the mid-to-late 80s, when the AI Winter hit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter

When AI couldn't live up to the hype, funding dried up. A lot of that funding was driving the companies and research projects that were doing major Lisp development. After the AI Winter, Lisp was strongly associated with the unmet promises of AI and thus gained a reputation as a poor choice for serious projects.

It's never really recovered.

There's plenty of culture, music, and art in Star Trek- from Sulu's bonsai to Spock's lute playing to a lot missions based around seeing what some remote archaeologist is up to.

As for the article, it seems kind of self-explanatory: Tolkien's created nostalgia-based mythology is similar to ISIS' created nostalgia-based mythology. Main difference is that Tolkien actually lived in pre-WWI Britain, no one in ISIS lived during the Caliphate.

I have only one eye and wear a patch over my right socket. Also I have a pointy nose. A friend of mine suggested that smiley a long time ago, and I've used it since.
I understand exactly how it works. How do you get a code-signing paradigm down to something as simple as curl | sh though? (Well not as simple, but still a human-readable one-liner that works on nearly all Linux systems.)

I thought maybe a single-line invocation might piggy-back on SSL as follows:

- get a server's public key that is not online or able to answer requests (because if it were it couldn't be airgapped)

- but still use the key to verify the script that's downloaded from the server that is online.

- only pass the code to sh if it was properly signed by the offline server.

Then the offline server could be "https://key.meteor.com" and the private key wouldn't have to be anywhere but an airgapped machine.

I don't know if there is more of the SSL infrastructure that I'm missing though (I'm not an expert) or if this could practically be reduced down to a tamper-evident one-liner (a la curl https://install.meteor.com | sh). It would be a marked improvement over just passing anything from a potentially compromised server straight to bash though!
LotR took on a new dimension for me when I read more about the horrors of the Western Front in WW1 and a wee note that Tolkien wrote in a letter:

“My ‘Sam Gamgee’ is indeed a reflexion of the English soldier, of the privates and batmen I knew in the 1914 war, and recognized as so far superior to myself.”

Bayes Impact | Project Development Lead | San Francisco, CA | ONSITE

Bayes Impact is a technology nonprofit that uses data science to solve pressing social challenges across the globe. We build intuitive and powerful software applications that empower governments, nonprofits, and individuals to make critical, data-driven decisions. Our goal is to turn data into actions that impact the lives of billions of people. We believe that while technology shows tremendous promise when it comes to revolutionizing the social space, prototypes and proofs and concept are not useful unless they're actually implemented and as such we only focus on a small number of high impact, long term projects.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for an explorer and visionary to join our team and develop our next big projects. Can algorithms be used to save lives by reducing wait times for ambulance dispatch? Will better data systems improve transparency in the criminal justice system? Is data science the key to realizing the future of personalized health? You will identify big questions like these and answer them with game-changing technology solutions.

Our mission is not just to create reports and recommendations; we build production-level software applications and deploy them in the field. However, turning an idea into a full-fledged operational solution that could improve the lives of millions is no small feat. If you thrive in ambiguity and hustle by nature, this role is for you.

We are looking for someone who can become an overnight expert in social issues, build partnerships, engage researchers, convince funders, negotiate roadblocks, sizing up incumbents, identify relevant technologies, devise software solutions, and do whatever it takes to make things happen.

If you’re interested, please send us your resume and a bit about what you want in your work (/life/love/next meal/etc). Email us at careers@bayesimpact.org. We’ll listen and get back to you.

More details here: http://www.bayesimpact.org/stories/?name=bayes-impact-is-hir...

(We are also accepting applications for full-time data science and software engineering positions.)

"Live a life of greed" - great mantra.
This was work done as part of my phd thesis. You can take the code and samples that are here https://github.com/kitsune-dsu and play with them. However, I wouldn't consider what has been released ready for production use. The papers were the main product of this research and are your best resource if you're interested: http://www.cs.umd.edu/~hayden/papers/kitsune-draft.pdf

I moved on (graduated!) from the project in 2012 and the code that has been released is pretty much where I left it at that time. An undergrad collaborator was doing neat work on updating Tor, so that code continued to evolve a bit after I left.

I think there may still be folks at UMD working in some ways with Kitsune, but I'm not up on the details.
"EASY THERE PAL"
15 Mobile Stats Every B2B Marketer Should Know [Infographic]
Just to clarify: only Instacart's in-store shoppers are employees (and only in a few cities right now), since most of those are shift based roles ('shifts' screams employees under the law). I wouldn't be surprised if they shifted delivers to employees too though, since:

1. It's going to be incredibly difficult to maintain two worker systems (I imagine this played into Shyp's decision as well).

2. They probably have enough volume/data to figure out their busy times, so can get close enough to matching supply/demand. Vs. ridesharing, where demand is too sporadic (e.g. weather, events, etc) and surge pricing is better at finding market equilibrium.

> Ever notice that there's basically no culture, music, or art?

No culture? What are you talking about? You've got Sir Patrick Stewart performing the likes of Gilbert and Sullivan, Shakespeare, et cetera. Culture!!! ;)

More seriously: proper cultural artifacts from the future are really hard to convincingly fabricate in the context of a cultural artifact of the present. Most of the time people just toy with the world's current trends, like the gritty downtown Los Angeles nightlife of Blade Runner or the self-parody of the 1980s in The Fifth Element. Star Trek's "culture" is a shallow reflection of 1990s Hollywood trends. Witness the fetish for tribal artifacts from distant alien peoples, cherry-picked for display by the ostensibly erudite, stripped from anything resembling the visceral reality of their original context, and pseudo-analyzed in order to support some trite lesson upholding only purely modern values.

But it's okay, since we're all understanding, empathetic, tolerant, and perfectly inoffensive people, and our introspective self-examination will never reveal otherwise. :P

Director of Product - Search - http://grnh.se/m0ewti
Product Manager - New Ventures - http://grnh.se/nv6ctw

Our team of energized and happy brainiacs is made up of diverse interests and personalities. We've got semi-pro athletes, ping-pong enthusiasts, avid surfers, chicken farmers, jugglers, knitters and everything in between. But we share one common focus: making killer products that will improve the really hard and potentially un-fun process of finding the right place to live.

There are so many reasons that working here is great, but we've narrowed it to the top three:

1. There's always something awesome happening. No matter what is being built, we're hard at work figuring out what the next big thing is going to be. Knowing that there's always some innovation on the way keeps this place buzzing. Plus, consistently seeing ridiculous month-on-month user growth doesn't hurt the excitement factor!

2. We're good people. When it comes to hiring, we've adopted a strict "no jerks" rule. Our culture is open and friendly, and not to be trifled with, no matter your level of talent. Whether we are planning projects or grabbing a keg-fresh beer on our roof deck, we genuinely like each other. Who doesn't like that?

3. Start-up fire with big company benefits. Want the fast-moving pace of a start-up with the perks of a company that has been around the block? Us, too. We know that the laundry list of super competitive pay, stock, snacks in the kitchen, and appreciation for a job well done are baseline requirements, so we go way beyond. Investing back into our team's success and future is our goal. Matching 401(k), fully paid medical/dental/vision coverage, multiple flexible spending accounts, and a legit maternity and paternity plan. We've got it all...and then some.
Is there not a 'black box' out there that can do this on a software side of things instead of a hardware.

For context, here's the thread from 1991: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.arch/rYgGszm_dGk/z7p0or...

One interesting comment:

Hey, you left out the Acorn Risc Machine. Not a big name in the
workstation market, but I understand that they sell a good number of
them, and the instruction set is "interesting" (a bit-twiddler/
superoptimizer's wet dream, if you ask me, but probably "risc" by many
definitions of the term). VTI sells this chip in the US, they should
be able to give you a spec if you want it.

I wonder what a modern table would look like. There's been a fair amount of turnover in RISC, now largely dominated by ARM, with MIPS and PowerPC also contenders, and CISC is still dominated by x86.
Perhaps the fact that Landstar is B2B vs. most/all of these startups in the spotlight are primarily B2C has something to do with it? We're more mindful of it because we're more exposed to it?
The biggest problem is that C rarely happens except for high-skilled positions.

I am the same way. It's such a strange need - like the product cannot exist, even in my imagination, until it is named properly.
This took me a while to realise but the box on top shows which arrow it can currently 'receive'. This changes when you press one of the arrow keys (it's empty at the beginning).
It is not a join venture between ProcessOne and Quviq, but a broader initiative. However, we need to ensure quality also, so we need a bit of check, but this is taking shape. We will have more to announce very soon it is getting fast :)
The people who had legitimate access to this document would either have had the necessary skills, or could have just read this document to learn them. Of course, I'm assuming that "Diann J. Anderson" is a pseudonym, rather than the name of the dumbest secretary at Stroz Friedberg.

EDIT: I'm referring to a scribd doc. For the reasons you cite, GDrive would not be appropriate for this.
GitHub is hiring across all teams, both in SF and remote: https://github.com/about/jobs.

We especially need sales engineers, which is a great role for any developer or ops person looking to make a transition to sales. Especially important skills:

* Excellent written and verbal communication skills
* Customer facing experience as this is a pre-sales role
* Familiarity with Git and GitHub
* Ability to talk with both technical and non-technical employees
both internal to GitHub and at customer sites

You can see the sales engineering job post here: https://jobs.github.com/positions/2f1183c2-482d-11e4-9945-68...

One last thing that I'd like to point out for all of our roles (it's at the bottom of the job post too, but I think it's important): GitHub is made up of people with many different backgrounds and lifestyles, and we like it that way. We invite applications from people of all stripes. We don't discriminate against employees or applicants based on gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, race, religion, age, national origin, citizenship, pregnancy status, veteran status, or any other differences that people imagine to discriminate against one another.

Please apply if you think this might be a good fit for you. You can't waste our time!

Uber also does this now, where they take a lower commission to encourage driving more hours.
mm superH. reminds me of the old HP Jornada's.. they also ran on SH3 processor (well, some did). back in the day these were mindblowing to me.. a real pocked-sized PC, with a modem no less!
UO is the game people play to interact with those who are not in their clan/guild/whatever. UO is the game where people role-play as blacksmiths and merchants, selling their wares and services to total strangers, decorating their homes and outfitting them with "rune libraries" to make them more appealing to customers and generate foot traffic.

When I walk around a player-built town in UO it feels lived in, something I have never been able to say about any other MMO I've ever played. In this regard, UO is more like Minecraft than (World of) Warcraft.
Wikileaks – The Euro Intercepts
I admire DFW's writing a lot but I have to say that I largely agree with this critique of that speech (from the posted article):

"To me, it’s the least interesting version of himself he ever put to the page. But an unquantifiable number of online readers, millions of YouTube viewers, and thousands of bookstore shoppers disagree. Among the more dispiriting aspects of the Wallace canonization is how much it has been built out of his suffering — the way the cult has revived, for precisely the post-therapy, post-Romantic, self-help-soaked culture Wallace described and intermittently deplored, the Romantic picture of the depressive as a kind of keen-eyed saint."
> The same engine ended up being reused for System Shock (and 2, if I remember correctly).

Quite a legacy, there, too. Wonderful games.
