Remote: Sure!

Willing to relocate: Maybe

Technologies: React, TypeScript, JavaScript, Go, C, Docker, Linux, Svelte(Kit).

Resume: I'm a full-stack software engineer who likes building impactful products and solving hard problems. Currently I am near the end of a contract with a startup, helping a technical co-founder build out a full-stack MVP of a structured code editor (React/TypeScript/MobX, AWS, Python, Django). I'm content working on the frontend or backend of software, I love talking to users (have a HCI background), but also diving into deep technical topics (I've built games, programming languages, embedded operating systems). Happy to provide a full resume if you email me :)

Outside of work you can catch me cooking, cycling, making computer music, or thinking about computing education.

Email: `harrison (DOT) shoebridge @ the big g email provider`

Ask HN: Are there computing education research jobs not at a college?

Hi HN,I've been teaching people how to code pretty much since I learned how to code myself. In high school I made (now embarrassing) YouTube tutorials, taught my friends how to make games, ran classes with an after school carer. While at university I've been working as a tutor (I think in the US they're called TAs) for a first and second year course: and the work I've done there has been the...

Re:It’s time to give Firefox another chance on Friday September 29, 2017 @05:34PM (#15369431)
Firefox containers are heading in the direction, after using them for a couple of hours though I ended up missing the window-based system which Chrome uses.

I have one Chrome profile for my personal apps, and one for work -- creating a new tab in one of the windows will automatically open it with the same context as the rest of the window. My experience with Firefox was that I'd have to manually choose which profile to open the tab in.

1. This required me to use my mouse (geh, maybe I could use keybindings to change this though? not quite sure how difficult that would be) 2. I'm not sure if this is just a me thing, but if I create a tab stemming from my 'personal' gmail account there's a pretty strong chance that it should also be a 'personal' tab. Maybe this is just a difference in how me and the Firefox team use tabs though?

Once I figure out how to get around those issues, (and when Streak's gmail extension works on Firefox...) that's when I'd be able to move over.

edit: apparently Firefox has had true instance profiles for ages! awesome. now I'm just waiting on Streak lol.

Not trying to start a fight, but could someone explain to me what the incentive to stop this is? Seems like a win-win for jobs and economic development. I'm assuming it's just to push the "anti immigration" narrative?
