So it’s a WordPress successor that doesn’t support any WordPress plugins (since they’re written in PHP and this is written in TypeScript) and has baked-in support for blockchain payments. and also it’s “AI Native”, because the internet definitely needs more AI slop blogs.

This IS an April Fools joke, whether or not they intended it to be one.

Manning is a woman. She uses the pronoun "she".

There's no way to apply on your website; /about, /jobs, and /careers are all 404 and the homepage has no contact info whatsoever.

However, after some googling, I did find https://campspot.recruiterbox.com/

The Barnes and Noble cafes aren't actually Starbucks; they serve Starbucks products (probably for historical reasons) but they have products Starbucks doesn't have, and they don't accept Starbucks gift cards.

Any tips on how to find a Charlie? (I'm in NYC right now, say.)

Boodler [1] is an open-source system for generating soundscapes. It comes with a hour long thunderstorm soundscape [2] that grows and then fades away.

The author of Boodler also has an iOS app [3] specifically for the thunderstorm.

"The Knowledge", by Lewis Dartnell, is a book which purports to tell you how to re-bootstrap civilization.

How is that not actually the same family?

I keep my free Dropbox account, but I won't pay them any money while they have Rice on board. (I was a paid member of Loom, which they acquired. As a result of the acquisition I was to become a paid member of Dropbox's photo syncing service. Instead I demanded and got my money back.)

NYC: Front End (JS/CSS/HTML) and/or Python Engineers. Also, Test Engineers.

Axial enables small-to-medium-size companies to connect with advisors and sources of capital at a scale not possible in the offline world. We use Python, PostgreSQL, Backbone, and Angular.js. We have automated tests for many things.

We're located in the Flatiron district near Union Square. Well funded and growing fast.

For me it was when I ran out of savings, sold all my stocks, ran out of that money, and still didn't have a shipped product. My cofounders are still going at it, and I wish them all the best, but we spent the critical months of our startup designing and redesigning a thing without ever getting user feedback.

For all the other folks out there at Google or other largish companies, who are considering quitting and forming a startup: Don't do it until you have at least once seen a project through from conception to launch.

I recently joined a NYC company with "unlimited vacation days", and they do actually mean it. I mentioned this very trend when I was interviewing. They responded by saying they expect me to take AT LEAST three weeks of vacation a year.

Now, some of my coworkers are workaholics and won't take that much. But I have had success in just saying "I want to take these weeks off."

If you want to work with bytes on stdin and stdout, Python 3 documents how to do that, at the same place it documents the stdin and stdout streams.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.stdin

All you have to do is use sys.stdin.buffer and sys.stdout.buffer; the caveat is that if sys.stdin has been replaced with a StringIO instance, this won't work. But in Armin's simple cat example, we can trivially make sure that won't happen.

I'd be a lot more willing to listen to this argument if it didn't overlook basic stuff like this.

And if computer science were a field in which men have historically been underrepresented, with company after company having culture issues about "femprogramming culture", your Turing Initiative might have a reason to actually exist.

Since paying Dropbox is not an acceptable solution for me, I've asked Loom to refund the money I paid them (perhaps foolishly, I signed up for the $50-per-year plan and paid up front).

So far, they've refused: "Thanks for writing and we appreciate your position. Unfortunately, I am very sorry but I cannot offer you a refund at this time."

This is very disappointing.

Well, this is awfully disappointing. I'm in the process of migrating my stuff off of Dropbox due to the Dr. Rice issue (only problem is a lot of apps use it as their sole syncing service); I have no desire to move gigabytes of photos into Dropbox's control.

I never got a reply to my email responding to your post in last month's thread; should I resend?

SEEKING WORK - San Diego area, remote okay, short term projects preferred

I've been working with Python webapps (mainly Pyramid / Pylons) for the past several years. I'm also pretty good with Javascript and AngularJS.

My resume includes social networks, social gaming, and a stint at Google; I'm looking to pick up 10-15 hours a week in the near term to fill some gaps in my schedule. If you're interested in talking, email me at jon@inklesspen.com and mention this post.

I had the same experience. I understand if this is hard to do, but from my perspective it would help if I can expect to hear back from you in a few days, a few weeks, or a few months.

There is Typescript language support for Emacs and Sublime Text, so there shouldn't really be a problem there; someone just has to do it.

MetroPCS uses the Sprint network.

michaelochurch worked at Google for less than a year.

It's not all over SSH. It uses SSH to authenticate and start a server daemon, which it then connects to over UDP. The UDP connection is not tunneled through the SSH connection.

At the time, editline did not exist. Stallman's argument was that code which has functionality only when linked with GPL'd code is dependent upon that GPL'd code.

What are these solutions? I help run a moderately-popular failblog exposing sexism in gaming, but aside from a few isolated cases, the advertising "interest" we get is people wanting to set up link exchanges advertising acai berries or whatever.

I'm presuming this is because the good ad networks don't need to look for sites to display on, but I haven't found anything else that's as good as AdSense. (And due to TOS, we can't run AdSense.)

Google offers one. http://code.google.com/p/google-authenticator/

It implements an open standard for OTP and they provide source for a PAM module to require the OTP on the computer side.

Switch to a credit union, then. If your profile info is accurate, you live in a region served by the SF Fire Credit Union (http://www.sffirecu.org/). I switched to them a few years ago and it's been a great experience. Save yourself that $144 a year.

They have the largest ATM network on the planet; every ATM is free-of-charge. (That is, they'll refund the fees, if the ATM charges any.)

Scrivener is really tuned for slicing and dicing prose. You _could_ use it for code, just as you _could_ use MS Word as your IDE. But it would probably be a bad idea.

Why mbox instead of, say, Maildir? The irreversible mangling mbox requires makes me reluctant to use it as an archive format.

jQuery can be cached.
