We're a fully bootstrapped and profitable startup providing giveaways as a service for marketers, bloggers, etc. Our dev team is 4 people and we're looking to expand our offerings and specialize some of our team members.

Infrastructure Engineer - Looking to redeploy our system onto a new system. Deciding between docker orchestration frameworks like mesos/coreos/helios/etc. Also responsible for anything backend like message queue systems and development-to-deployment toolchain.

UI Engineer - A strong developer-first front-end engineer. Writing reusable and readable HTML/CSS/JS is foremost important. Will work with our main designer/front-end developer to create new interfaces and extend current ones.

Its gotta be the shape of our eye, for the same reason the effect works in a mechanical DSLR camera, where light is only refracted through the lens.
I like this service. I do it manually all the time when sharing passwords with coworkers and family. It would be nice to eliminate the trust issues by open sourcing the software though and allowing hosted versions. Could even charge for a mac app that connects to your hosted version of it.
Re:Programming and thinking the functional way on Wednesday May 07, 2014 @02:15PM (#7711812)
Lists in haskell are lazy linked lists. Vector is a library that provides mutable allocated vectors a la Java's Vector. To use it with lists you would have to do (note the period is composition):

listQsort :: Ord a => [a] -> [a] listQsort = V.toList . qsort . V.fromList

Also: > With Java, it's precisely visible what the machine is doing to execute your code. This is much less the case with Haskell.

This is very much a false statement. Java code runs through the JVM and its memory bloat, whereas haskell is compiled to native code along with its runtime. Both involve significant abstractions away from the actual machine instructions. It is more accurate to say that Java makes you think you can see what the machine is doing, but it is also far removed from machine code. One advantage is that with haskell, the compiler can reason about your side-effect-free code and optimize much more than java code.

Why is it restricted to writers? Is it less expensive than two one-way tickets?
Re:Another go at Go failed on Wednesday January 08, 2014 @11:32AM (#7024507)
This guy needs to take a hard look at interfaces. Go didn't abandon generics, they just told everyone that interfaces are a better solution. You can write your code once as long as its formulated for interfaces.

As for sets, why not use a custom data structure like a balanced binary tree (such as a red-black tree)?

Re:Why SICP Matters on Tuesday April 30, 2013 @08:37AM (#5631738)
I didn't discover SICP until after I had graduated from a good CS school. Its clear and away the best programming book I've ever read, even for an experienced developer.
Re:Go Concurrency on Thursday March 28, 2013 @08:53AM (#5454471)

What is the value of a graduate degree?

What's the relative value of going and getting a Master's degree from a good school versus working in the business for a couple years? Is a 4-year night school program worth the money? How much does the startup/tech/etc community care about these degrees?

Re:Another go at the Next Big Language on Sunday September 02, 2012 @10:31PM (#4468906)
You don't want a language to force error handling on you. Error handling is different in every case. Go only tries to force you to deal with errors instead of allowing you to ignore them until an exception is thrown. There is never going to be an all-purpose error handling answer. Its just a matter of deciding where your error handling code is placed.
