Justworks is hiring across the board (engineering [front end, back end, ios), sales, marketing, product, design).

http://bit.ly/1IAXh2Q

We are building tools that help startups and SMBs compete with larger companies by giving them access to the same tools and benefits larger companies have. We process millions of dollars a month in payroll, provide access to healthcare that is significantly less expensive than standard small group rates and also automate tons of the really difficult and time consuming parts of running a business (tax filling, workers comp, epli etc.). We're growing about 25% month over month.

I really enjoy working here. We're working on tough problems that really impact the entrepreneurial community. It's nice to work on something that has a clear value and solves a clear problem for a group of people I care about. The team is excellent and the business is being run very well. Contact info in profile, feel free to ask any questions or reach out to me directly.

Great article, I share the sentiment. But we have to remember what killed blogging more than Facebook itself: webspam. The cost of posting a blog post is a flood of spam comments and trackbacks. Even with Akismet, the time it would take to review for ham, etc was substantial. When you make a Facebook post you get nothing but pure self-validation! Their anti-spam team was effective from the start and besides the scourge of game invites, the experience is relatively positive all around. Yes it is full of ads, but generally they are not about penis pills.

Spam has killed off most of the decentralized web. Any future solution to corporate controlled media needs to have a great answer to spam.

He specifically called out using your own domain though. You can still do that with a dozen different blogging platforms without having to host in Iran. But by choosing to publish on Medium, with a medium.com URL, he's guaranteed this writing will not last a day longer than Medium Inc.
7 Things Your Boss Doesn’t Understand About Software Development
Coffee and techno, dude. Coffee and techno.
Looks to me like they wrote an entire, serious article just so they could work in the sentence "I wouldn’t overestimate the effect of cleavage, but it’s there."

Which may also explain why the thermostat will end up higher... :)
In the Congo They Have Robots Instead of Traffic Lights
Make your own job man, if you did any freelance work then you were self employed. If you find yourself unemployed, hack on something in between interviews and call it a startup that didn't work out.

Never, never, never admit to any hiring person that you weren't in charge of your career path at all times. That's one of the few distinctions they can make with technical people about whether or not they're qualified or not. Don't make it easy for them.
I trust that it is honoring DNT, but I can't see what use it can be if that is so. What more can it be doing over & above the weblogs that my original request would have created?

This. I've been on teams that have straight up turned people down because of age (sorry, "culture fit").
Many people have a stigma about unions. There are many corrupt unions, and many unions that are dominated by bad actors. And they clash with the individualism that many of us feel. And there's lack of trust concerning "We're paying the union all this money, what are they doing with it?"

I was in a union when I was a grocery store worker. We were negotiating a new contract - several grocery unions on one side and one person on the other side to represent the 5 major grocery companies - and there was a vote taken when my union representative was not present. We were bound by it because we had already agreed to this type of negotiation. (It wasn't a bad deal.)

Some unions, such as the local Welder's union, act as an employment agency for union members too. When your job ends or lays you off, you put your name on their job board and wait for a job. Employers call the union and get whomever's at the top of the list.
Extremely poor air quality in major cities has spurred the Chinese government to adopt clean-air policies. Cars are a major source of air pollution.

Sure, no problem. But I'm typically testing various VPN services, using pfSense VPN-client VMs. So I would just fire one up, and route a LiveCD VM through it. The site could collect whatever data it wanted. But it would mostly be noise.

SEEKING WORK - Remote or New York City area

I am a full stack web developer with expertise in Ruby and Javascript. Most of my recent projects have been Rails applications and/or Angular.js client side apps. My clients have included startups, large companies, arts organizations and creative agencies.

My most recent client was Cleversafe, a billion dollar large scale data storage company. For Cleversafe I worked with their Performance Testing team to build a web application that schedules runs of their performance tests and compares results. For this project I used Python & Django at the client's request (they have more in house Python expertise than Ruby expertise).

I also teach/mentor. I have done one-on-one tutoring and mentored an entrepreneur from zero experience to being a regular contributor to his small business's production web app. And I am an instructor for Startup Institute, a company that teaches development skills in demand at startups.

Lastly I have a liberal arts degree in addition to my 4+ years of writing software. It's helped me be an effective communicator and collaborator. Some may find this irrelevant but I believe my liberal arts experience has been a huge part of my success as a professional.

[Review] N++ for Playstation 4 by Metanet Sortware
Are they announcing the launch of the not quite finalized W3C Tracking Protection Group recommendations (see the last call working drafts, bottom left, http://www.w3.org/2011/tracking-protection/)?

The 1.0 of their dnt-policy.txt (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EFForg/dnt-policy/master/d...) which points to one of those drafts (http://www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/)?
Sure, it's absolutely your choice to block who you want from your site. IMO, once you have decided that you need to track users, then it is better that you put a block up for people who have set DNT rather than willfully ignore the setting.
That's my understanding... they licensed OS/2 to Serenity, but IBM still technically owns it. But they can't open source it, since MS (and possibly others) own large parts of the copyright.
I think they would, since they're killing their citizens through pollution. First world ignorance at it's finest. Since she's talking with several cities, I think has a shot of exporting something. China is far below our current environmental standards, so raising the standard isn't something 'environmental', it's more like self preserving pragmatism in the short run.
One of the disappointments for me about Twitter has been the lack of engagement. Many (most?) people use it as a broadcast medium. The longest, most engaged threads I see are (big surprise, internet) trolling and fighting.

Here's an idea: gamify engagement for verified accounts. If you're a big enough personality to have a verified account, you must @reply to, say, 1% of your followers before you can write another naked tweet. Or you can buy tokens that let you tweet without forced engagement, price determined in part by your follower count.

For a normie like me, the novelty of seeing your favorite celeb or software hero or whoever on twitter quickly wears off once you realize they send tweets once in a blue moon and never reply. You might as well be on their mailing list instead.
I agree, but perhaps they may realize quite soon that things might not be sustainable the way they do them. Beijing is a mess smog-wise.
It would make sense, in a lot of ways (money saved, better for the environment), to have people dress properly for the conditions, rather than requiring uniforms that are ill-suited to the climate.
I am working on a real-time collaborative notebook for code and mathematics. We are trying to upgrade to a small ec2 from a micro tier. Some AWS credit would be helpful for us to try this out!

5. For whatever reason, whether it be that they're bad at selling themselves or whether it be that the value they add is hard to advertise, programmers perform poorly in the hiring process/sales meeting that are typical used.
There are varying degrees of this though. Singles have things like speed dating and singles only volleyball leagues. We have meetups and conferences. I have found all of my jobs through networking. My first 2 were directly from meetups. The 3rd came from a former classmate. My current role came from a coworker from my 2nd job. Most of my other interviews have come from meetups too. It is a lot easier to do this when you know there's some common ground.
As a low femme girl who's also a software professional and a hobbyist, I'll say we need more articles like these.

I'm also particularly impressed to see Julia Serrano being quoted here. Serrano is mostly known as a trans activist, but she's also done a lot to tackle what she terms femmephobia, which is a serious problem even in progressive spaces such as LGBT and feminist communities.

While efforts to get more women into tech are commendable, I've witnessed an attitude of "we'd love to see more women, just as long as they act like honorary guys, and they get rid of all that girly shit". What's worse is that this attitude is perpetuated by the very same people who want more women in tech. Honestly, I think it's a problem. There's very much a tendency for feminist activists to throw their femme sisters under the bus, and it bothers me. I already don't get along with a lot of feminists because they take issue with my personal choice to refer to myself as a "girl" rather than a "woman".

I love slinging code, and I've always had an interest in taking things apart to see how they work. That said, I also really like looking pretty, and I go nuts over anything that can be described as cute. That shouldn't be a contradiction, and I'm glad groups like the Django Girls are here to get more girls like me involved with programming.
Huh, this comes up blank in Mobile Safari.
San Francisco, CA - Enterprise Architect with Sales Experience - Onsite Only
We are looking for a very senior level resource to join our Mobility team in San Francisco, CA. You must have enterprise architecture experience, be able to solution, have prior consulting experience as well as some sales experience. We are a technology consulting firm but there is the potential of 40% travel outside of SF. If you are interested in learning more, please send your resume and contact information to shanna.wright@parivedasolutions.com.
Sure it is. At the price set by supply and demand, that employer is priced out of the market.
I'm in Dallas as well, and I can back you up. I was unemployed for two years from 2010 to 2012 after getting laid off because all my experience was specialized experience that didn't transfer to other companies well, and being unemployed so long took a huge toll on my mental health.

I've found employment since (and even changed jobs over the new year), so it's definitely something one can recover from, and for all I know the job market might have changed since then so things are better now.
Anything that can simply be ignored is worse than worthless. It's worse because it's actively harmful in the cases, the numerous cases, where the tag is simply ignored.

Ghostery + AdBlock. No regrets.
> Over the next decade, you’ll see some of these entrepreneurs create companies at YC that rival Airbnb’s social (and financial) impact.

I think this sentence is interesting. It kind of hints that they use the term "AirBnB" internally as a short-hand way of saying "Our most successful company". He doesn't mention AirBnB anywhere else in the post, and this sentence expects the listener to understand the implied context.
I don't quite get why the author thinks that wasm will make asm.js irrelevant. As I understand it, what wasm brings to the table is mostly a binary representation of asm.js, with the concomitant size advantages. If they're two different ways of encoding the same thing then I'd expect most toolchain and optimization work for one to benefit the other, and asm.js will continue to benefit older browsers for a while.

What made asm.js a breakthrough was that vendors couldn't kill it by ignoring it - it's just Javascript, so it doesn't need explicit support to run, so ignoring it just hurts you in competitive perf benchmarks. Wasm IMHO is a smaller step forward, but I think the mapping is direct enough that a polyfill lib can handle deserializing wasm to asm.js - not ideal, but at that point it's unkillable again. Very different from {P}NaCl, which was very successfully killed by everyone except Chrome ignoring it.

DISCLAIMER: I've read about these techs but haven't had a chance to use them in anger yet; apply pinches of salt to taste.
Was there some trigger or cause for this? Did something happen over the weekend to change investor feelings?
Yes, I too could see YC bringing value to a software-intensive project. Perhaps I put too much weight on the "wetware" mention in the link, that makes me think "wet lab".

I would be fascinated to hear how they will handle the regulatory challenges, and how they bridge the cultural differences inherent to a group in a regulated industry vs. the more stereotypical software startups.
I can send you some WPA handshakes for you to decrypt them. ;P
Job markets for developers vary widely across the world?
I for one will not choose native apps (not as long as they have a half decent app). I choose my banking website over their app anyday. And the same with Facebook. I think for me though, part of the aversion is how invasive apps can be.
If the boiler-plate is what bothers you then you could create the appropiated macros to tailor your taste.
While a novel idea... that would pretty much kill Twitter dead.
In my case, the personality problem might be the ever-increasing paranoia that I'm being rejected on the basis of some outlawed or unethical criterion, and subsequently ignored upon orders from the corporate legal or PR department.

It's one of several plausible hypotheses I have for the observed behavior. Very few are compatible with a healthy future employer-employee relationship.

This is one reason why I hate the brainteaser questions. I was told for one such question that I was the only candidate to give the correct answer. Then the interviewer suggested that I must have encountered it previously, even after seeing me "showing my work" on a whiteboard. Can't win; if you didn't lose, you must have cheated. That company blackholed me after I flew in from another city to spend a day-long interview with them. They didn't even reimburse me for my personal travel expenses.

It was Spatial, owned by Dassault, near Denver, in case anyone cares. That was, in fact, the second Denver-based company to do exactly the same thing to me. The first flew me in, interviewed almost all day, then cut off all contact, didn't pay travel expenses, and even tried to stick me with the cost of the hotel stay by canceling their payment. That was Tyler Tech, Eagle Division.

Neither are unique in cutting off all contact, but they certainly are remarkable in waiting until after an in-person interview by a non-local candidate to do so.

Résumé/CV: https://careers.stackoverflow.com/adamheath

Email: adam@adamheath.me

Primarily a Javascript developer, with a passion for speed, metrics and user experience. Recently playing around with Web Components (via Polymer) which feels very much like the future!

I am British and currently in San Francisco, but plan to move back to Malaysia later this year (3+ years experience working remote from there). Open to relocation.
> since I believe Reddit's ads are self-hosted

I'm not sure where it is at now, but we had a mixed situation when I was there. We self hosted some, but one of the things we "self hosted" was an iframe to an ad network.

We had to be really careful because everything you said was (and probably still is) true. Bad actors slip through, networks get compromised, etc. This is spot on: "Even if it's not often, it's enough of a risk that it's simply not worth it.". That was exactly the conclusion we came to.
Very interesting to see this. Our office is 2 men, 2 women and we have this argument constantly. The men are sweating their nads off, the women freezing cold - often simultaneously unless one side temporarily wins by changing the setting without anyone noticing. Our solution is going to be rearranging the office so the men are sat directly under the A/C.
Last year around this time, Cramer was talking about how Twitter would hit $90 before the end of the year.
I don't think that's quite right. The problem is that you can't just slap a social network together. You have to figure out why you're doing it, why you're the one to do it, what the user want/need, etc. I didn't see any of that with Plus.
Free software, end to end encrypted alternative to whatsapp
Think of all the people that light up smokes, etc at the gas station. Then, think about this with a fuel that's invisible when it's leaking. Guy that worked at a hydrogen plant made that point to me when talking about the safety precautions they took.
AWS is constantly reducing prices, as their costs go down. I wouldn't accuse them of profiteering, at least any more than any public company (with the requirement of a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders).

They're not a non-profit. They don't always have the best price/performance ratio, but they do offer scaling options that few competitors can match.

Disclaimer: I am a former Amazon employee, though I sold my stock. Regretting it now, but what can you do.
Depending on your background you may be pleased to see StumpWM (https://stumpwm.github.io/).

It's a tiling window manager, as minimal as ratpoison in interface but fully configurable and hackable on runtime, to the point of rebuilding parts of the system as it's running. It's the best WM experience I had since the old Enlightenment and I'm now using it full time. I even wrote some posts about it: https://klibert.pl/#stumpwm-better-modeline https://klibert.pl/#stumpwm

Ah, forgot to mention: it's in Common Lisp, so YMMV by a lot :)
Celebrities are only on Twitter because it is a broadcast mechanism. It is precisely the unidirectional nature of Twitter that meant it caught on for the media industry.

Without that it would be nothing.
You know it pains me to see you ask for resources. Everyday at work, my team uses a couple r3.4x large and c4.8x large for trivial tasks. My team does not realize how valuable a resource they are accessing(and wasting) everyday. I wish I can donate those to you, but company policy forbids me to.
