From the second, it sounds like you guys will seek out the top performers and weed out the bozos. I like it! Are you looking at a traditional recruiter fee model or something else? Apologies if this is posted somewhere else.
Maybe the issue is just educating web developers about what's available, and the non-obvious side-effects using feature X.
Here's what I'd like to see: organize a site like caniuse not by feature, but by tiers of support in the entire population of installed browsers. Something like:
Supported by 99.99% of user-agents: image tags, ... Supported by 95% of user-agents: XHR, ...
(I'm making those numbers up).
How does new browser feature X prevent a developer from doing any of these things?
> Being forced to work around IE6’s issues required quite a bit of creativity, and although not every solution stood the test of time (most libraries and frameworks from that era, for instance), it still made the creative juices flow.
'Tools' are bad except when they are used to work around stagnant browsers, I guess?
Use with caution.
It's a nice, small, fast web framework. Great for building APIs. Also, it's one ~3k loc, readable file.[1]

I found myself in such a situation. Books like Advanced .NET Debugging [1] will help you regain your sanity.

> "I lost my husband two years ago to throat cancer," she explained. "He was the love of my life, and I started doing this just to — I was out of my mind and spent a lot of time at the cancer center." ... Singleton says she never recovered from the pain of her loss, and that’s why she keeps coming back to the slots.
The person quoted above is in need of counseling and support. Instead, she's getting a drip-feed of low-cost morphine to mask her loss, like a debtor going from pay-day loan to pay-day loan to stay solvent.
Academically, we seem to have strong evidence linking stress to reduced impulse control. I'm no expert in the matter, but surveys such as this [1] seem convincing. Despite this, the popular conversation seems to stay away from root causes and instead ends at the label 'addict.'
I wonder what percentage slot machine and clash of clans-styled mobile gaming revenue is due to this kind of coping-related addiction. downandout's comment [2] suggests it is probably quite high.
edit: As someone who wants to give Zenefits a serious go but has some concerns.
That is, a block in the bitcoin blockchain is valid not only if its hash matches what one would expect given the included transactions, but that those transactions adhere to the rules of bitcoin. (No double-spends, no dust transactions, etc).
While there are data structures in a git commit that must be present and/or follow a particular set of semantics, git does not enforce anything about the _contents_ of those commits.
Another key distinction: blockchains seek consensus, whereas divergent forks in git repos are by design.
EDIT: I should probably not distinguish too much between consensus and rule enforcement, as those two are obviously intertwined. :)
His videos are both tranquil and surreal.

I assume that the lead time for creating redditnotes is substantial. Therefore, getting started (even with a lot of uncertainty) is probably worthwhile unless those unknowns are foundational (e.g., does the SEC allow this at all rather than what specific regulation best applies).
We want to bring Bitcoin further into the mainstream by providing robust, liquid virtual currency exchange services to retail and institutional clients.
We’re well-funded, VC-backed, and looking to expand our NYC software development team. You would be one of a handful of developers building a trading platform targeting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. You’ll work with our international team of experts in related financial and compliance fields to enhance our platform.
We’re looking for self-motivated engineers with a strong grasp of computer science fundamentals and a passion for communication as well as coding. Frontend, backend, and full-stack roles are available.
Our current technology stack includes components written in node.js, C#, and C++. While we don’t require experience in any particular language, we do ask that all candidates have a thorough understanding of their favorite language and are comfortable working on the command line.
Contributions to free and open source software are appreciated but not required. Please include links to Github profiles, project pages, or other public artifacts of your work.

Games are created using a custom toolset and programming language. Everything is centrally-run (games, content editor), making it easy to add multiplayer and collaboration features.
Here's a video showing how to create a multiplayer platforming game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6rgfEh_Ctc&feature=youtu.be
There are also many other informal exchanges, including in-person transactions and ebay.
Personally, I've been interested in moving to Go on a python-based project of mine. Thus far, I've avoided it because 1) the extra work required to self-implement a few third party libs I rely on and 2) I've been able to eek out sufficient performance using c extensions and cython.
Edit: This comment came off as more trolling than intended. My point is that it's fantastic that they're focusing on software and services. However, they're simultaneously indicating that software and services are to be disposed with along with the hardware. My hunch is that consumer expectations have moved on from this due to services such as the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and to some extend Netflix and Rdio.

I'd say that's probably going to be false for approximately n-1 participants. :)
Not true. ultramemcache (https://github.com/esnme/ultramemcache) is an example of a c++ memcached client that is friendly to gevent's monkeypatching. It does this by importing the socket library via the python runtime (https://github.com/esnme/ultramemcache/blob/master/python/um...), rather than using a native construct.
My experience is with gevent, but I suspect that eventlet's monkeypatching is similar to gevent.
Combined with the incident report from amazon, does this mean that 30% of Heroku instances were in a single availability zone? That would be troubling.
For example, let's say a group is organizing and advertising a demonstration on a social network, and the odds are good that the protest will result in a police crackdown. Might this be excessively risky behavior? The Kremlin's answer would likely depend on the group, and whether the ruling party has a political interest to clamp down.
- This research is provided by a company that sells an app marketing service.
- No detail on methodology and how value was assessed. Are part time/garage developers tallying their opportunity cost? Multiplying their hours spent by an idealized consulting rate? What about free/low cost apps that leverage an existing paid service? How does that fit in? What about long-term ad revenue?
- Reported backing evidence is anecdotal.
The rapid growth of mobile devices spurred by the iPhone/iPad has generated far more value for developers than $12/phone suggests.
