Hi there! I'm a polyglot web programmer with a specialty in scientific data visualization. I have 6 years of industry experience writing code for dashboards, games, and apps. As a freelancer, I've worked with clients on data dashboards and APIs, bringing products to market as well as just making proof- of-concepts.

Previous projects I've shipped include a visualization for drug discovery, IoT sensor dashboard, ecological map, and a serious game. I have dual degrees in CS and studio art, spent several years at the University of Washington working on an NSF-funded serious game in microbiology, and cut my teeth writing simulations of complex systems for UMich and Sandia Labs.

My latest projects have used D3.js a lot, and for quick visualizations and analysis I'll use Python, pandas, and Jupyter. I'm friendly, communicative, can iterate quickly, and am happy to advocate for what I think would be best for a project. I have a decent amount of availability in September and October, after which I would be able to spend about 10 hours / week on consulting. Happy to expand on previous projects and chat about yours, send me a message!

Most-used tools:

* Javascript stack: D3, Express, Node, React, Electron

 _On-Call Maintenance and Development of your Small but Critical Web App_

Hey owner of a very small online business: In trying to hire a part time web developer, have you been frustrated by:

* Flaky unresponsive freelancers distracted by their full time job? Your business gets put at risk from expensive downtime, but when you call nobody answers!

* A revolving door of freelancers who do a little work and then leave when something "better" comes along? Onboarding costs add up and technical knowledge is lost!

\---

 _We are Less Boring Solutions: We manage your part time webapp gig with full time care._

I'm David Colgan, and together with my partner Jesse Denardo, we have over 15 years of professional development experience building webapps.

But we made the conscious decision to only work with small businesses on small projects, because you deserve just as much care and professionalism as the big guys.

 _We only take less than full time jobs so you get our full attention._ No waiting until evenings or weekends to hear from us. And since there's two of us, there's rarely a time someone won't be available to fix your app.

Services we offer:

1\. _Custom Development_ \- From scratch, or taking over when your previous dev ran away, we're available for 10 to 20 hours a week to build your webapp.

2\. _On-call Ongoing Maintenance_ \- Your mostly finished app is in good hands as we keep it up to date and are on-call to fix it if it breaks, along with occasionally adding a new feature or two.

If you need reliable webapp care, contact me personally at email@example.com and I'll get back to you right away.

I'm a full-stack software engineer with over 7 years of experience. I've spent most of my time building software with Ruby on Rails, but also have extensive experience with JavaScript and the React ecosystem.

I've also spent my fair share of time orchestrating docker containers with Kubernetes and creating design systems with CSS modules and SASS.

I can help scope out requirements and deliver an MVP for your product, or quickly bang out an already well-defined project. Either approach will result in a high quality product and clean, well-tested and maintainable code that can easily be built upon.

Remember when the web was actually good?

When websites didn't download megabytes of crap and contacted 100s of domains trying to track you? When progressive enhancement was cool and walled gardens were not? When programmers actually solved problems instead of copy/pasting code from web search results?

Then maybe we'll get along

I'm not a professional software developer, I have an unrelated major and a career on an unrelated field. But I'm currently volunteering in South America and would like to make some beer money on the side by putting my programming skills to good use as it's something I enjoy and can do remotely. Due to my other obligations I'm only available part-time.

I'm the kind of guy who:

* Spends more time in the command line more than with GUIs

* Uses native applications instead of web apps

* Sticks to the tried and true instead of chasing the latest fad

* Would rather run his own servers than rely on third parties

* Prefers to use a library instead of a framework

* Likes correctness, but likes pragmatism even more

* Bends every of the above rules when it doesn't make sense

* Has been programming on and off for two decades

* Has been building websites since the late 90s

* Has dabbled in every layer shy of actual kernel development

* Has done plenty of CRUD, but not only

* Has developed with popular and unpopular stacks

* Would pick up whatever your stack is to get things done

I don't expect to be a perfect fit for most organizations, but if I sound like someone you'd like to work with, send me an email. I'm open to all kind of offers, from the mundane to the exotic.

Location: North-east UK

What I do: Clojure development. Data migration, transformation, and processing. Prototype development. Feasibility studies.

In the past I've been a network engineer, run large-scale Debian installations doing devops before it had a name, and been responsible for servers in Antarctica. I have experience with a wide range of different Unix tools and technologies, at various levels of the stack. This gives me the ability—and the perspective—to pick the best combination of tools for any particular project, rather than simply treating everything as a nail because all I have is a hammer.

I focus particularly on taking on "weird" or niche data or exploratory projects end-to-end; things that wouldn't be a fit for a standard web or development agency.

Previous work:

* Custom domain specific language (DSL) to encode business rules for computer vision system (Common Lisp)

* University library data migration project, with a focus on completeness and validation. (Clojure, Elixir, Ruby)

* School data processing app (Elixir/Phoenix, PostgreSQL)

* Custom data dashboards (R, Geckoboard)

* High-reliability, long-term timelapse platform for inaccessible locations. (FreeBSD, Arduino, Python, Shell)

* Migration of existing Node.js+Firebase service to Golang+PostgreSQL on AWS

* Feasibility study investigating the possiblility of writing custom code to interface with a biometric timeclock (Common Lisp)

* Proof-of-concept hardware development for projects linking the physical and virtual worlds in real time (Arduino, Node.js)

Buzzwords: Debian, Ubuntu, AWS, PostgreSQL, Perl, Common Lisp, Clojure, Ruby, Go, Arduino / AVR, Elixir / Phoenix, FreeBSD

I specialize in supporting the technical and operational needs of business teams. Those tasks that tend to stretch beyond the existing team skills but aren't well supported by your tech team. I've worked on business and tech teams, and have created several departments from scratch - effectively working as the end business user on greenfield initiatives and needing to create the entire tech stack and processes to support my needs, before eventually expanding to a full team.

I've worked directly under CEOs, COOs, CMOs, and CTOs and have a proven track record of being able to take ambiguous requests and needs through from client/business-user communication through to technical delivery, without the need for project management and business analyst overhead.

Some recent work I've done:

\- Taken over management of Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Google Optimize for a complex multi-brand portfolio. It not only involved basic stuff like dashboards, migrating to GA 360, transition marketing related snippets and event tracking to Tag Manager, and leveraging the BigQuery export functionality of GA360 to clean up some funky historical data. It also resulted in finding an architectural flaw in an enterprise WAF that was impacting analytics, which resulted in a feature request but no resolution from that vendor. I resolved the issue by migrating them to Cloudflare and leveraging the flexibility of Cloudflare Workers. All of which required coordination with but minimal support by the client tech team, and resulted in streamlining business results while minimizing developer interruptions. The most impressive bit in all of this was the ability to navigate the bureaucratic quagmire of this Fortune 100 company and, on behalf of the marketing director that I worked for, secure the approval and support of their internal IS department to even implement such a change.

\- Work with a client's third party service provider to integrate their data with the client's GA data, leveraging GTM to implement all the necessary glue code to get the right unique identifiers into both systems to support the integration.

\- "Upskill" a UX team by providing them with the tools, data, interpretation, and direction to make data-driven decisions. This involved testing out low- commitment and low-cost heatmapping and conversion rate optimization tools to get internal buy-in before transitioning to higher-commitment options. Leveraging GTM for deployment, it had minimal impact to the tech team.

\- Working for an engineering team, I acted as an initial point of contact for technical and SQL support questions from analysts. In addition to freeing up their engineers time from these distracting, ad-hoc requests, I was also able to profile and optimize existing SQL queries and improve database load (mostly consisting of a mix of MySQL/Auora, Postgres, and Redshift databases).

\- Working for a technical solopreneur spinning their wheels on the marketing and sales side of things, I was able to provide the perspective they needed in the terms they knew so they could move forward. This was mainly strategy and guidance work, providing a marketing/sales/business viewpoint to unblock them on where to focus their efforts.

If you think you have something up my alley, please reach out to chat[1][2]. I offer both low cost retainers as well as per project rates. While I have availability for minor things and calls during business hours, I'm mainly looking for work that can be performed during off hours (nights and weekends, US timezones).

Google Is Listing "Nazism" as the Ideology of the California Republican Party - <AUTHOR> https://news.vice.com/en_us/article/vbq38d/google-is-listing-nazism-as-the-first-ideology-of-the-california-republican-party <comment><USER2> It came from Wikipedia. Here's the edit that undid it:

[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California_Republ...](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=California_Republican_Party&diff=843698358&oldid=842714790)

Someone also added "Authoritarianism" which was also reverted.

It's tough being Google, but this sort of thing was inevitable as they started lifting more and more answers provided by random people into authoritative sections of search results. Copy/pasting a section called "ideology" into their own results page was especially naive. If they'd just listed the wikipedia page at the top like they used to, they wouldn't be in this mess.

And it is a mess. This one doesn't reflect any particular issue with Google employees, apparently, but I just searched California Republican Party and hey look at that - the top result is a news story from Politico with the headline "California Republicans hit rock bottom". Right, that is absolutely _the_ most relevant and useful result someone searching this phrase might be looking for - in what universe?

Also, they're pretty much manually editing SERPs for political reasons at this point. They suppressed the "ideology" line for the Wikipedia box on the query Vice reported, but they're still importing them in general and the democrats SERP still has "ideology" present in the box.

In fact the SERP for "California Democratic Party" is significantly better for the Democrats in general. Then tweets about them are inlined as the second result - the republicans don't get at all. Then there's three news results with images, all from friendly publications like CNN and the WashPo (although the news stories are all about the Dems not having good luck in the race apparently?).

<comment><USER3> I got the same "California Republicans hit rock bottom" result. Political views aside, Google are publishing libelous content and they should own up to it. In fact, the instant they "manually" altered knowledge boxes, no matter the intention or content of the edit, they put too much of their thumb on the scale and (imho) lost any "safe harbor" protection they may have enjoyed.

<comment><USER4> AFAIK Google News does not editorialize story selection. It's all done algorithmically, largely based on what people click on.

I would bet that most of the people searching for [california republican party] today are drawn there because of this story about Nazism being listed as its ideology. They see a click-bait headline about how the CA Republican Party has hit rock-bottom, and they click on it. That pushes it higher in Google's algorithms, so it's shown to more people, and so on.

Supporting this is that the #3 headline is currently a Fox News story about how Google is under fire for listing Nazism as the ideology on this query, which wasn't there when I checked a couple hours ago. People click on click- bait, particularly click-bait relevant to the reason they made the search in the first place, and that makes the click-bait rise higher in the rankings.

<comment><USER2> We actually don't know what Google News' algorithm is based on. I don't think they've ever said it's simply counting clicks.

Heck I worked there for years and I have no idea how News ranks things. Ranking one was one of the few parts of the Google codebase not accessible to all engineers.

It'd be a much more trustworthy product if they did explain how they rank news stories. Newspapers aren't general websites, there are far fewer of them, the risk of gaming the algorithms is much lower.

<comment><USER4> I actually do know - in broad strokes, not the specifics - how it ranks things. I was ex-Google-Search, several years ago, and worked with News engineers on a couple projects. Plus it's sorta the poster child for their internal machine-learning course.

</comment></comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER5> Try "what is a nickle worth?" on Google. I get an answer that is mostly about pennies.

<comment><USER6> It depends on if you're European or American. Europeans pronounce it the right way "Nick-louse Veert", but Americans mangle it into "Nickel's Worth." This is to say that Europeans call him by name, but Americans call him by value.

...Oh, wait -- never mind. I thought you said "Niklaus Wirth".

[https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Niklaus_Wirth](https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Niklaus_Wirth)

</comment></comment><comment><USER3> AFAICT, Google has addressed it as "ideology" does not appear in info boxes. Anyone else seeing it?</comment>


Ask HN: Has Anyone Installed Pligg?  - <AUTHOR>

Thoughts? How hard to install for a non-engineer with some basic coding ability? <comment><USER2> I didnt think Pligg was any harder to install than Wordpress. Finding good themes that match the version you installed is a pain though.

</comment><comment><USER3> Yeah. It wasn't too bad...10-15 minutes of work IIRC. There was a bug in it that I needed code to fix, but I posted a report & patch on the forums and I think it's since been fixed.

</comment><comment><USER4> I have never used it but several clients of mine have used it which usually means it is easy to use.</comment>
