Man, that reminds me that as a kid I coded the game of life into Excel with a bunch of nested IF statements. It was a small field, but still a lot of fun

I have been using Celery a lot for several projects and haven't really run into any significant issues. I like it as part of my tech stack.

Sorry to hear others don't feel the same way. I find it easy to use and maintain.

I completely agree. They are taking a limited experiment and extrapolating to parenting in general.

Job Description

Our small development team is looking for our first QA engineer to take charge of documenting requirements, writing acceptance criteria, and validating tests. We follow an agile test-driven development process, and we need a motivated QA engineer to help ensure that quality is built into our product along every step of the way.

As a QA engineer at RVshare, you will be given a large amount of responsibility. You will be entrusted to get out ahead of bugs before they happen and ask thoughtful questions to ensure the product is well built. You will work with the product designer and developers to create an appropriate test plan and then execute that test plan. You will also triage bugs as they are reported by the support team and write steps to reproduce each issue.

Our technology stack is a combination of PHP and Ruby on Rails, and we’re moving toward becoming 100% built on Ruby on Rails. We use Github for repository hosting, Circle CI for continuous integration testing, and AWS for infrastructure.

FWIW, I'm a current Linode customer that will be migrating to AWS soon. I like Linode as a basic provider, but I really need the better features such as ASGs, AMIs, and RDS. That's worth the higher cost per hour for me.

If you're reading books like that, might I also suggest Mindfulness in Plain English: http://www.amazon.com/Mindfulness-Plain-English-Anniversary-...

I found it incredibly useful.

There are two podcasts that have guys on there that are bootstrappers:

* Boostrapped with Kids

* Startups for the rest of us

Click "Per Capita" on the map. They have that accounted for.

Mailchimp is great. Easy to use, tons of features, and they have a free plan to get started. I've never had to evaluate the other competitors.

Actually, the law is somewhat about who is right. If he has a trademark for name that covers your space and you use the exact same name, then (IANAL) it sounds like he's correct. But you should spend some time and money to consult a lawyer. My guess is they would tell you that you don't have a case.

What kind of app is it? Desktop app, web app?

It's already pretty easy if you know the function you're looking for. Just go to Chrome and type:

  php.net/strcmp

I'm not sure if anything else could be easier.

There's a Case Western graduate in there too.

I've got a Geek Desk and I love it. Worth every penny.

I'm pretty sure that was Richard Branson.

Okay, makes sense. It looks like a cool technology demonstration. I've been exploring node and I've done a lot with fantasy football so I'll probably check this out further.

I guess by "features" I was expecting things like a list of fantasy football players, a draft timer, a way to display who was picked, etc.

I don't get it. Is it just a conference call? I wasn't going to give them permission to use my microphone or camera, so I couldn't tell if it did anything else.

Cleveland, Ohio

Well, part of the reason the swimmers are wearing headphones is that they got them free: http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/branding/beats-by-dr...

Thanks for the warning comment. I'm glad that I didn't have to give them another page view just to come to the same conclusion.

Most good index funds have fees much less than 1%. Vanguard offers them for about a 0.15% fee.

Thanks for the reply. That doesn't sound useful to me. Maybe I'm not your target demographic though.

I didn't see this the first time, so I'll just give my feedback on this one. I glanced at it for about 15 seconds, which is probably longer than most average users will browse it for.

What are the "recommendations" that you offer? If I tweet once a month, and don't use Facebook, what exactly are you going to offer me as a recommendation? Even if I used those services a lot, what are you recommending? Restaurants, movies, books, etc?

Start your own business then. Design your forms however you want.

If anyone is interested in a less corporate, more fun version of Alison, I started Curious Reef a while back. It's a social learning website.

For an example of someone actually learning something, here's a post by someone who just finished the MIT 6.00 Intro to Comp Sci class on Curious Reef: http://curiousreef.com/class/mit-opencourseware-600-introduc...

I've used feedback too, but it's just a wrapper around Mechanical Turk. If there was a system-wide banning of website reviews on MT, it would take out feedbackarmy also.

For anyone starting to go through SICP, there's a collaborative class on Curious Reef working on it: http://curiousreef.com/class/structure-and-interpretation-of...
