Recent client: "As an academic entrepreneur, I have engaged in a number of out-sourcing processes and truth be told, _kohanz_ was one of the few that I would still continue working with. He is skillful, honest and up front, knows what he is doing and does his job very quickly and within the time frame promised at the beginning."

Experienced (10+ years) developer of software for medical devices and scientific applications, many with an imaging component. Have architected and led teams to deliver on software for systems in both diagnostic and interventional contexts. Comfortable working in an FDA-regulated & ISO 13485 compliant quality system.

I excel at iterating research or early-stage prototypes (e.g. MATLAB developed by researchers) into commercial-grade software ready to impress the right audience (clinicians, investors, etc.).

Developing scientific applications involves a high degree of uncertainty and requires an engineer that actively participates in all phases of the SDLC (e.g. requirements gathering, risk analysis, etc.). My ability to communicate has always led to my role as the technical point of contact for researchers, clinicians (surgeons, radiologists, etc.), and senior executives.

One of my current freelance projects is creating an automated trading platform for forex and equity markets through a well-known online broker.
Outside of the medical domain, my development projects have included an automated stock-trading engine (including backtesting suite) and various sports analytics software solutions.

Technical keywords: C++, C#, Java, Matlab, VTK, ITK, OpenCV, LabView, Rails, R, Python, and more.

Why doesn't natural gas count? It's increased usage is one of the key reasons the US's carbon output is down over 10% since 2005.

> "There are two basic factors that have contributed to lower carbon intensity (CO2/kilowatthour [kWh]) in the electric power sector: 1) substitution of the less-carbon-intensive natural gas for coal and petroleum, and 2) growth in non-carbon generation, especially renewables such as wind and solar."

With regard to the liquid vs. powdered debate. Why don't they ship bottles with powder inside? Consumers can then add water and shake. Seems like the best of both worlds. This would work for a variety of products as well like dish soap or shampoo.

This looks nice, and I look forward to taking the time to read through it more thoroughly, but one thing that jumped out to me from the navigation bar is the location of 'Window Functions' under 'Postgres Specific Tips'.

Window functions are part of the SQL standard, and certainly not unique to Postgres. I don't have time to research the implementation history across major relational databases, but they've been available in MS SQL Server since 2008 at the latest, and I know they're present in Oracle as well. It would make sense to include these under 'General SQL'.

Edit: Just noticed that this section is under both headings, nearly identically (some links are different). I didn't notice this before.
360 KJ is 0.1 KW-h. So it would be 1.5 cents, not 15.
Is this related to Internet2?

Edit: Maybe they are parallel projects? TFA says they have invested at about 100 campuses, but about 250 were already part of Internet2 in 2013.
> Even in less temperate locales I wonder if we really need to define our environment to within single degree Fahrenheit. I am not so controlling, but I do want to take back the rooftops from those horrible HVAC units.

I understand that the temperature is usually pretty nice in LA, but here in Iowa temperature control isn't an issue of defining our environment to within a single degree Fahrenheit, it is an issue of defining out environment into a livable temperature. Heck, most people I know have up to a ten degree delta between what they keep their home at in summer vs. winter.

However, without temperature control at all in Iowa, people would die. Sub-zero temperatures in the winter and above 100 degree heat in the summer are not mild inconveniences.

It speaks to a common conception - both in the valley and in tech - that this is a business for the young.

Most programming work doesn't require a genius level iq. It requires being able to build simple things very, very quickly. As a result, the experience level at a company matches the structure pyramid. The smart, older guys at the top make all the tough decisions and the fresh, younger guys at the bottom code as fast as they can. As those at the bottom age, they find themselves competing with other programmers their age for far fewer jobs toward the top of the pyramid.

Product Designer (BUENOS AIRES, AR, REMOTE)

Our goal at Auth0 is to make developer’s lives easier. The biggest challenge for us is to combine the understanding of problems from the developer’s perspective while crafting beautiful end to end user experiences. Making the API’s and concepts easy to understand. This will be your job at the design team.

We are a small, collaborative team, guided by a well defined iterative process. We start from monochrome blueprints which help us get better feedback and achieve simpler solutions in a shorter length of time. We then move to asset creation using a mobile-first approach, which help us keep constrained. We love shipping stuff and there is always something to ship every week. Though we’re still a small group, there are already different kinds of designers on the team, some more adept in usability or visual design, and some more focused on prototyping and code.
80V DC might work, but 12V DC means the wires would be far too thick to be practical.

In the past you needed AC for the ability to have transformers. These days you can do that in other ways. But you still need a high voltage, meaning you still need that wall wart.
you beat me! i just posted something about internet2. i remember it being a big deal when i was working at my local university's help desk.
It's very possible to use a tool for a year or 10 and not be quite familiar with it's operation. You have to actively make the effort to learn new things to learn new things.
Sorry for the nausea - it's only after posting that I realised I could have been less antagonising. It's good to hear your opinions though.
Hey Mike, we had to make a judgement call on this one. We know exactly which ones (there are about 3,000), but it's something you'd probably be sensitive about if you're affected, right?

These aren't bad or minor developers, since using the NDK is often a sign you care about performance of your app or are doing something interesting that's outside the norms of Java.

Are you a user trying to figure out about apps you use or a developer wondering if your own apps have this issue?
I write Ruby for my day job (about a year and a half now) and C# for my own stuff (about ten years) and I'd go with Ruby as a pedagogical language ten times out of ten. C# is a good (not great, but good) language for building stuff you want to put in a production environment, but there's so much drag in the language that I would seriously worry about discouraging novices long before they get to the point where Ruby would bite them in the ass. C#, meanwhile, forces a novice programmer to understand types at a fairly deep level before they actually know how to make things work.

Ruby, on the other hand--well, SublimeLinter or equivalent provides detailed and well-explained warnings if Ruby code doesn't make sense or is potentially problematic. And while, IIRC, RubyMine offers a good interactive debugger if you're willing to pay for it, Pry freely offers an interactive REPL experience at any point in the codebase that, while less mousey, is IMO a better exploratory tool than you get with C#--you can't just drop into your app, at a specific breakpoint, and start whacking at things in the shell, it doesn't work. This is a huge demerit for exploratory programming. And I would gently suggest, and I'm not trying to rip on you in saying this, that it would be worth introspecting to determine whether Ruby's perceived inconsistencies were more on your preconceptions than on the language--because I felt the same way until I internalized it a little bit and went "whoa, that makes total sense, I was just looking at it backwards".
Ask HN: Who is hiring interns?
It's hard to wade through the normal who's hiring if you're only looking for internships. I think it would be helpful to have a dedicated thread for internships and short-term employment.
It's summed up nicely here:

> http://www.powertechsystems.eu/en/technics/lithium-ion-vs-le...

Basically, lead acid have much lower lifespans, and also degrade very quickly if discharged below 50%. So straight off you have to double the size of your battery to not massively shorten the lifespan, so his costs are already closer to $0.30/Wh.

Also, lead acid batteries are larger/heavier per Wh, and even if you never discharge below 50% last less than half the time of Lithium batteries
You can edit it. It's a weird nitpick, but it actually detracts from the legibility.

"Sophomoric" is not an argument, and the questions I brought up are very simple, and their answers are obvious too.

You'd have to be insane to think it's in your interest when your money is taken by force and used as some others somewhere see fit. There's just no way around that.

The social contract is just a rationalization for our enslavement.
There is no need to change rates if demand increases, if anything things get cheaper per KWH as electric cars increase night time demand. As to permission, that’s not a cost which would need to be paid for.

> It better handles more complex light effects like caustics.

I wouldn't say better. I would say it provides an approximation to the rendering equation more quickly than path tracing does. However, photon mapping is a biased algorithm, which means that if you average many independent renderings together, they won't converge on the correct (exact) image. Path tracing methods (bi-directional, Metropolis, etc.) converge on the exact solution, regardless of how noisy each individual rendering is. (However, it may be the case that an unwieldy number of samples is required for tricky caustics, so in practice, path tracing may fail to produce a correct result because of high variance.)
Taxation is used for things that I agree with and plenty of things that I disagree with. It's not extortion because I have the ability to (1) leave the country for one where the taxes are more to my liking and (2) I can lower and raise them as much as I want to by working more or less.

> Plenty of people don't care about funding wars or other harmful stuff, because it simply never occurs to them what's going on.

It may be true but I suspect that more people are aware of what is going on that you give them credit for.

As for individual rulers setting their drone army against their own people, that's definitely a possibility but to date we have not seen that so it should not cloud your judgment about the present day situation.
I was a one-time Xmonad user, but switched to i3 recently. The enormous complexity of configuring Xmonad is what got me to switch, honestly. Perhaps if I A) needed enormous configurability or B) knew Haskell well I would have stuck around, but i3's config is much simpler to manage. i3 is also slightly prettier, but that's orthagonal :)
I think a huge plus for Ruby is the limited amount of specific punctuation required for calls like this. For you average middle or high school student this might not be a big deal, but as soon as you start working with elementary school students every small barrier to entry is a huge deal.

Books like this shouldn't be designed for the children that would enjoy hunting through and finding the missing quotation mark - those children already have tons of resources out there for them. I think Ruby is a great choice, specifically for this reason, and I wish there were more resources like this available when I was setting up K-5 CS curricula a few years ago.
