I think Haskell -- and FP in general -- is probably easier as an intro to programming than it is for people to pick up after they've been conditioned by imperative programming.

Though I wouldn't use Haskell for kids; I don't think the tooling, resources, and compiler error messages are great for that.

Fresh Relevance | ONSITE | Southampton, UK

We're looking for a Python or node.js developer to join our growing startup.
We build a SaaS system that helps eCommerce sites of all sizes improve their sales with timely and relevant engagements and recommendations to their customers based on their behaviour.

Our stack is python, django, node.js, zmq, mongodb, redis, mysql, AWS and chef. We're looking to add to our development team, and are open to frontend, backend or fullstack developers who want to take on some interesting scale and data-crunching challenges.

We're located just outside of Southampton, Hampshire on a green and pleasant Science Park (we just moved into a larger office that overlooks the croquet lawn today!), within easy reach of the New Forest and just over an hour to central London by train.

This. If we bump the office temperature 5* without adjusting the dress code, I end up sweaty and miserable.

I'm not allowed to wear sandals and a skirt; let me wear shorts and flip-flops and you can set the thermostat wherever you want.
Exactly my thoughts. Many projects are more about the research, and less about the time purely spent coding. Many times, my research time > coding time, so it would be cool if WakaTime made a Chrome plugin that could track that time.
It does not account for rooftop solar at all. The information is from eia.gov which does not collect/include rooftop solar in its data. I think it is safe to say that solar is ~double what is listed in the eia's data.
That's something I miss about Italy: less air conditioning. Oregon summers are beautiful - warm, sunny, but low humidity. For people who don't have to be in a suit and tie, there's not really that big a need for AC. And yet, I have a sweater myself for the office.
In general, no:

What? For what it is, Autodesk is probably one of the most liberal and open companies I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with!

They give away all of their software for students (without a crazy verification system!). Obviously they can only do so much, but I've always felt that they've done a lot to make their stuff accessible.

>The larger issue here is why are we letting people who are aging act like curmudgeons and secondly, why do we give in so readily to nostalgia pieces?

We do so because change isn't always good. This is one of the most frustrating things about working in the tech sector: the erroneous assumption that all change is good and anyone who disagrees is an "aging curmudgeon".

No, we shouldn't be shaming it. Any change or new system that's worth anything will be able to stand up to questioning. And any change, even the very good ones, will possibly have unpleasant side effects. It's really ok to discuss these things.

In this particular case, it's good to discuss whether or not diversity of content will suffer when a small number of sites are the gatekeepers. It may be that the centralization of the web will provide better discoverability and visibility to a wide variety of authors. Or it may be that the content is increasingly homogenized and the number of voices are reduced. And it may be that the few all-powerful gatekeepers are more vulnerable to pressure from outside forces who want to censor certain content. Or perhaps not.

Why would you be so concerned about having such a discussion?
This is such a cool opportunity. It is totally orthogonal to my skill set, so I won't be personally interested, but so cool: it is rare to see a confluence of "interesting," "philosophically important" and "remote" work outside of pure entrepreneurship.
It also goes bad in 3-4 days, even refrigerated.
> What I do know is that if there's something I want done, I suspect there is a plugin that does it.

Maybe it's just my anecdotal evidence, but I've looked for alternatives to certain emacs plugins used by my co-workers (such as org-mode and ensime) and couldn't find a suitable replacement (I know there are some alternatives for vim, but they pale in comparison to their emacs counterparts).

I will tell you this... it is a real issue. I have a similar issue in life as I get bored with a teacher standing in front of me talking theory, and I too deal with the depression...

My advice to you would be looking into certs... I have been doing alot of self education and I believe certs will give you not only the proof that you know a topic but the feeling of completeness.

I am 23 I will be 24 this month on the 28th, I have been actively programming since I was 12 and I have been doing it for a living since before I graduated high school in 2010. I recently began taking courses at my local community college to bring up my GPA which was a 1.9 when I left due to some of the same reasons you didn't do so well. I lived to prove that you can be successful without a degree, my family told me I would never amount to anything without a college degree, and I am making around 125K in Detroit, MI where the median salary is 35K.

With all of that being said, just take the small steps in the right direction, I know I have and its a good feeling.

I hope this helps.
I designed the system as a set of (mostly) REST services, with the goal of keeping it as flexible as possible. Not only is the UI completely separate from the system, it is actually optional. The system is designed so that our current or future customers could slot it into an existing, larger analysis system if they wanted to.

> Wow, that's harsh. I'm sorry to hear you've met with such rejection. But I guess that's the difference between a hard requirement and a soft requirement on a job posting - you can usually fudge or talk your way around a soft requirement, but not a hard requirement.

Well, supposedly, they are soft requirements as they say something like "Degree or N years relevant experience".

I've found a number of those were in the "You must have a degree pile" which is what made me conclude what I did.

> For the 6 that would have taken you for $10k less, that sounds like negotiation. Why didn't you take those jobs? Were you offered more elsewhere at the same time?

Sorry, that was one example of one that got to the interview stage. It wasn't all exactly like that, they were varying amounts from $8-15k.

> For the 6 that would have taken you for $10k less, that sounds like negotiation. Why didn't you take those jobs? Were you offered more elsewhere at the same time?

I was looking because we had a major layoff coming and I wasn't sure I'd stay. I basically kept my job and I literally cannot find people offering me what I make now.

> Additionally, I've estimated that 30-40% of places I've interviewed don't really know what position they're hiring someone for; or they aren't serious about hiring and are just testing the waters to see how good their employees are. Maybe for you that's closer to 5-10%? It sounds like you get a lot more informative responses than I get. (But I'm in system & network administration and virtualization, not software development)

I wouldn't really know. Most failures are silent or non-responses that say nothing. It could be you are correct and I'm attributing it to degrees
Check out BARF (biologically appropriate raw food, bones and raw food). It's possible to formulate the meals yourself, but it's hard to get the nutrients right. Several companies offer a balanced raw refrigerated/frozen product.

We had concerns about bacteria from the raw meat, so we feed a freeze dried raw food (Stella and Chewy's[0], no affiliation, just a happy customer). It can be expensive, costing around $5 per day to maintain a 15 lb dog, but our dog is a picky eater and loves it.

Raw food will most likely result in smaller, firmer stools. They're easier to pick up, and they dry out and deteriorate faster.

I'm not suggesting freezing anyone to death, but its a lot easier to toss on a layer of clothing compared to the alternative. Granted, the article mentions this, it just seems preferential to have an office a bit too cold rather than too hot.
If these new technologies and frameworks don't have business case to justify their adoption or make any sense from a practical standpoint, believe me they will not pick up and will eventually fall down however hip or cool they sounded or looked right after their debut or launch.

So, I say embrace progress and let the market decide what technologies stay and what to leave behind.

Calling for deliberate stagnation for the web is intellectually disingenuous in light of the Great Web Depression during 2000 - 2005 and the following recession 2005 - 2008 right before iPhone 3G & Chrome launches followed by NodeJS and the HTML5 debut.

For all people worried about the seemingly neck-breaking rate of progress, I assure them that we will sooner or later hit some roadblocks that will slow down the progress and usher in a new era of stagnation for the industry as whole, that has been the case all along for all business and scientific, literary activities, that is the cyclical nature of human activities, but to do it on purpose and to have the audacity to advocate and brand it as a respite or out of concern for the well-being of the developers community is dishonest and totally unacceptable.
HN Who Is Hiring – Sorted, Filtered and Searchable
Just for me (YMMV) I find that when I write untested code, I make too many large cognitive leaps in my changes. My code looks good at the time and it usually looks well-factored, but entropy and shortcuts always seem to creep in there. Pile all those errors up over a 5 year timespan on code that slowly accretes since I'm maintaining it on my leisure time, and I always wind up with really untrustworthy code and occasional frustrating regressions when I make changes.

The test suite with good coverage gives me confidence that the code continues to work as I make changes (no regression bugs.) It's about having complete trust in my code, no second guessing, and no time ever wasted in a debugger chasing down issues.

And, I want to be able to cut a build at any time as long as all of my tests pass and feel confident I'm not shipping a broken build. I've never been able to do that on any project in the past, and I think it will be one mark of success on this new project. I've implemented a mini feature toggle system in my build scripts to make that possible.

Finally, I'm using Closure Compiler with full optimizations in my production build to do minification. Closure Compiler itself can (theoretically) break the build with its over-aggressive optimizations, so part of having a complete coverage test suite is being able to run the tests against the production build and catch any bad optimizations that CC makes. Because of my architectural choices, I REALLY need that test suite.

Do I need to write the tests before the production code (do full TDD) or can I write tests after? Well, I am the type of guy who won't write the tests after because I always want to move on to the next fun thing. I just force myself to do it, and take my medicine up front.

Wall street has 2 parts. First, there's the efficient allocation of resources. There are a few people that consistently make money, like Warren Buffet. But they play on very small edges. Sorta like poker, they consistently come out a few percent ahead of the competition. But there's terrible variance. Is this likely to be a tool that gives real market insight? No.

The other part of Wall Street is like matthew mcconaughey in the wolf of wall street. It's getting people's money in the circus. Go around and around the ferris wheel again and again. This is the sort of thing that can convince people to invest.

I seriously doubt i'd put my own money in just because of this. But people like that exist, and really, they're probably better off with some money in stocks. They'll get a better return than a savings account. So, some people will do the right thing for the wrong reasons.

Of course, everyone needs to be cautious of pure snake oil, but a respectable company putting on a little sideshow from time to time is pretty reasonable.
Also, you could cut down the size slightly by shrinking div names. Sure, with gzip "aside.sidebar" isn't going to take much extra space, but it will take some.

(That being said, please don't do this. Minified JS is bad enough.)

The thing that people are missing is, tech is being used as a baby sitter. Just like TV was for me. Now it's worse because It's always connected. Parents are fucking lazy today. I see it constantly. It's about being connected to your kid that I'm for. That's fucking hard and people don't want to do hard today when they come home from work. They would rather sit and watch their own shit on their device because parenting is hard. Just look around the mall, airport or a dinner table. We're not talking about 12 year olds. These kids are 2, 4, 5, 7 and 9, etc... Their brains are developing and technology, scientifically proven, gets in the way of brain development- just like TV and video games in my gen. It's not bad, in moderation, just like everything else in this world. So, it's not about the tech it's about the family. My 9 yr old kid reads 5-10 books a week. She looses herself in her books to the point she can't hear anyone. Learning, safely, for the most part. Using her imagination instead of it being fed to her by the vast majority of the shit out there. she gets to play learning and thinking games, not fruit ninja. What has changed from my gen is being connected 24/7 has giving adults an easy way out from doing something hard. I fucking want yell at a parent who is out to dinner with 2,3,4 year olds at the table playing with an iPad. While the parent is buried in their own. I limited the tech not because it's tech, trendy and cool to do so but, because we want our kids to be able to communicate with other human beings and the ability resolve conflict through something other than a text or Facebook. They will have plenty of opportunities to be immersed into technology and all troublesome things that come with it as a teen.

I know technology is empowering at the right age. But, I want both my kids to be exposed to cooking, knitting, skateboarding, swimming, playing sports, books, music and art by actually doing it versus it being fed to them on an iPad. If either one of them wants to learn a different programming language than me, I hope the fact that I've connected with my kid so we will be able to discover it together.

Bottom line, Generation Z is being raise by Apple, Samsung and Amazon. As a parent, I'm not OK with this.
