I have about 6 years worth of experience in IT support (repair technician > head technician > help desk technician > help desk manager) and have been working on my BS in Computer Science for the past 4 years. I don't have a lot of professional programming experience. Under my belt, I have an "internship" (more of a trial period where we decided to split ways) for a startup that was essentially an email newsletter for a demographic that doesn't really use email or newsletters as well as doing Google Summer of Code working on an open source MMO called Ryzom.

I'm most experienced in Python (+ Flask), Java, and C++. I have non-trivial, yet not masterful, experience with HTML+CSS, C, JavaScript (+ Angular, JSON), SQLite, and BASH. I also have the general "full-stack" knowledge that you would expect a help desk manager that doesn't have a sys admin above them to be able to do.

What do I mean by hybrid design? I'm a visual/UI/UX/graphic/web/print/front- end designer who's worked all over the design field. This makes me a jack of all trades and perfect for startups.

Pricing? Your SOUL. Ahem, sorry about that... We all know startup CEOs/CTOs don't have souls. ZING! Reality: per project or project bundle pricing is my preferred way to do things. This keeps cost and time down for both of us.

Get in touch! Let's knock some projects out.

Hi! I am a freelance iOS developer. I specialize in building apps for startups! Previously, I've worked for Fitocracy and this year I've helped launch Charlie App's iOS app. I have three secret client projects that should be launching in the next month as well and I'm happy to chat about them privately.

I mostly work remotely, but I'm happy to work on-site for up to two weeks at the start and end of projects. I find it helps get things going much more quickly. I'm also available on-site in Central NJ (but not NYC, sorry! that train is killer).

I'm also building an agency. Check it out: [http://jaymobile.io/](http://jaymobile.io/)

If you're looking for a developer that has done the startup life and knows how to balance velocity and code quality as needed to get your app launched, I'm your guy. I champion unit testing but I know how to get dirty when I need to. Don't waste any time, get in touch sooner than later — I'm generally booked 2-3 months forward. Currently I'm accepting projects for January 2016.

Location: North-east UK

What I do: Backend engineer / Sysadmin.

Do you need a backend service to talk to your flashy new web / mobile app?

Does your current build and deployment system give you nightmares about the only dev who understands it falling under a bus?

Need a proof-of-concept for your latest, hard-to-pigeonhole idea?

I do have experience of the full stack (including AngularJS and Coffeescript; see below) but am looking for work primarily involving the back end of the stack, or server admin / reliability / scaling. In previous lives I've run large-scale Debian installations doing devops before it had a name, and been responsible for servers in Antarctica.

Recent work:

* Custom 'net-connected controller for long-term timelapse projects. (FreeBSD, Arduino)

* 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)

* Project management webapp for construction companies (Rails, AngularJS, Bootstrap)

Previous job: Engineer in New York for x.ai, the AI robot that schedules meetings via email.

I work with HTML5, JavaScript and CSS on the frontend; compiled from Hogan/Handlebars, CoffeeScript and LESS/SASS with Backbone as the logic handler. For the backend I primarily use Node.js again either built with JavaScript or CoffeeScript. I have also worked with PHP and Django. Components are installed with Npm and Bower, then compiled and minified via Grunt. I have web experience in many areas dating back to 1996. I also maintain some web applications: Gignal ([http://www.gignal.com](http://www.gignal.com)) with Parse as backend; Konfect ([http://www.konfect.com](http://www.konfect.com)) with Neo4j as database; I have used MySQL since 1998, but primarily uses MongoDB and Redis now.

I'm a front-leaning, full-stack developer that is living in Berlin. I am American, and I have some conversational ability in German.

I have experience with every aspect of creating an application, from mockups and UX design, to graphic design, to the full-stack implementation, to deployment. I've successfully built and sold a past start-up of mine, and have a great deal of insight with product development. Because of this, I'm probably of most value the earlier a project is in its life cycle.

Backend stack: Ruby on Rails, with DBs/data stores such as MySQL, Postgres, Mongo, Redis, Elastic Search. Frontend stack: my strong preference is for React.js, though I've done a ton of work with Angular and Meteor. I am well- versed in current best practices, can build responsive mobile-friendly websites, and code pixel perfect CSS and HTML5.

I'm also a very capable graphic designer, which can be seen from viewing past and present work on my portfolio.

Hey there! I'm Kabir, a midwest-born-and-raised Senior Full Stack Developer with a Computer Science degree. When I'm not totally geeking out on some science or programming project, I like to play soccer, fantasy football, and explore new breweries!

I'm an expert at JavaScript (currently React and Flux are my favorite frameworks), leading teams, and I also have a strong passion for UI/UX (I actually wanted to be a designer when I was much younger). Especially skilled as an architect, because I am a "big picture" sort of thinker.

I'm most experienced with Ruby on Rails on the back-end, but have played around with Node a little bit at home, and would definitely be excited about learning more Node!

I have been a contractor for many years and worked on many different projects, technologies, and teams.

I work closely with dev teams throughout the project lifecycle (d'oh, DevOps!) to build scalable and long-term robust architectures. Load testing, continuous integration, deploy systems, monitoring, post-mortems, dev projects of my own - you name it I've done it. For larger organisations I've even built & led whole infrastructure teams.

Recent work includes:

\+ AWS/Docker platform to securely host a large public-sector microservice- based web app taking millions of pounds per month (yes, PCI) in payments.

\+ Physical platform hosting a large, successful news site for the financial sector.

\+ Large multithreaded Python 3 application for automated cryptocurrency trading. Don't try this, you won't get rich.

\+ Lots, lots more.

Building software applications is as much about coding as it is about understanding and solving the actual business problems!

I'm a Zend & SensioLabs certified web developer / consultant with a focus on solving business problems and adding value through product optimisation. This can be done in many ways: creating a new application, suggesting an action plan or architecture, optimizing current set-up / architecture / applications, etc.

At the moment my technology focus is on PHP, Symfony, AWS, MongoDB, MySQL, APIs, NodeJS and Docker. I also care a lot about security (InfoSec), performance, quality, best practices & continuous learning. You can contact me for projects at [http://ifdattic.com](http://ifdattic.com)

Few of the problems I solved for my clients:

        * optimize infrastructure to reduce costs by $10000+ per year
        * implement backup & work flow to avoid using data due to
          incompetent developers
        * custom applications for improving work flows (document
          submission, sports coaching, inventory system, etc.)

I'm a web designer and developer based out of Toronto. I mostly work with web- based startups looking to flesh out the UI of their initial product and help establish a system for maintainable HTML/CSS going forward.

</comment></comment><comment><USER7> For what it's worth, CPU compatibility with old segmented code (like Windows 3.11) is a bit iffy these days for a silly legacy reason. The old x87 floating point coprocessor had two registers FCS and FDS — they're the CS and DS segments at the time of the last x87 data instruction. This was used for the 386's asynchronous FPU exception handling. Fast forward to the ultramodern 486, and floating point exception handling was cleaned up and FCS and FDS became unnecessary, but they were kept for compatibility. All was well.

Unfortunately, AMD made a mistake in AMD64: the new 64-bit floating point context switching instructions couldn't switch the FCS and FDS registers. This not only broke some very old software when run on a new kernel or hypervisor, but it also created a potential information leak.

Sadly, new CPUs "fix" this in an unfortunate way. Trying to read FCS or FDS gives zero. Now some very old software is broken.

<comment><USER18> Oh, I remember J++! The glorious embrace and extend days...

<comment><USER19> J++ is a big part of why C# exists today.

<comment><USER20> Isn't that a back backwards? Isn't it more like: Microsoft wanted a more modern language and they weren't allowed to use Java so they created c#?

<comment><USER19> Microsoft thought Java was a good idea in that they liked the JVM a lot, but the language itself they saw as flawed and missing key features that would make it a truly modern language, in particular they heavily disagreed with Sun's approach to FFI (foreign function interface) [Java's slow, laborious efforts eventually building JNI, the Java Native Interface], because of their many years of experience for better and worse with COM (component object model).

J++ was never meant to be "Java", and never technically was even in branding, it was essentially a second language (that Microsoft saw at the time as C++ is to C, it was to Java, and that's very clearly represented in that brand name) that also targeted the Microsoft version of the JVM, and used a couple Microsoft-specific escape hatches for FFI and COM.

(So it absolutely was an "embrace and extend", but it wasn't of the Java language itself so much as it was the JVM that Microsoft wanted to embrace and extend that seemed to fright Sun so badly. That's probably why so much of the legal drama and the consequent blows to the rest of the Java ecosystem at the time was Sun withdrawing JVM licenses from just about everyone as a part of that battle. Originally Sun seemed rather happy licensing the JVM to whoever wanted to implement it, which is why Microsoft had a JVM in the first place, thinking controlling the Java language was enough. Sun worked to put that genie back in the bottle and move everyone back to mostly a single JVM again. There's no lack of irony in the exact same battle playing out between Oracle and Google decades later in the battle of Dalvik [Google's JVM] and Android.)

It wasn't that Sun didn't want Microsoft using Java, they didn't want Microsoft using the JVM any longer, and without a license to build their own JVM, J++ wouldn't run on any other JVM and wasn't a useful language.

When Microsoft lost their JVM they decided to start from scratch, moved the J++ team (including and particularly Anders Hejlsberg, C# lead) to a new VM that they could control from top to bottom (including its FFI mechanics), and much of what had directly been the J++ team used what they learned from the whole mess to create C#.

Perhaps a better JS baseline would be QuickJS [0].

Once 1.2MB was reached:

QuickJS is 620K.

I guess that doesn't include any kind of facility for rendering to the screen (besides basic barfing to stdout) or interacting with keyboard/mouse. i wonder how much code would be needed to add support for a basic canvas pixeldata api & keyboard event handling.

[0] [https://bellard.org/quickjs/](https://bellard.org/quickjs/)

<comment><USER29> Very little, actually. You'd need CreateWindow to get a surface to render onto, and from there you have access to GDI, GDI+, OpenGL, and D3D via P/Invoke

If by "basic Canvas pixelData" you mean blitting an array of pixels in a loop, that would require a grand total of 4 API calls: CreateWindow, GetDC, CreateBitmap, BitBlt. Keyboard and mouse handling would be a dozen lines of code to process the corresponding window messages in the event loop.

I bet this would all still fit in under 64Kb.</comment></comment>


Ask HN: Is the private cloud the worst documented thing? - <AUTHOR> Over the past few weeks I've been sampling a lot of hypervisors for running private cloud instances with decent support for control via API.

- VMware ESXi - XenServer - Debian + Proxmox - Debian + OpenNebula - Debian + OpenStack
Why these? Well, mainly due to the fact that a key requirement for private clouds is control via API and API tooling is kind of sparse apart from these contenders.
Are my contenders just not used that much in real world use cases, or is it just the fact that the missing documentation/non-public knowledge results in DevOps nice consulting invoices? <comment><USER2> [Disclosure, I currently work for VMware]

On the VMware side, what kind of documentation are you looking for, and what kind of capabilities are you looking to expose? VMware has a really broad portfolio and it can be complex for someone to get started if they are not already familiar with what is available.

If you want to get hands-on quickly to see what capabilities are available I'd recommend trying out the free "Hands-on labs" available here - [http://labs.hol.vmware.com/HOL/catalogs/catalog/681](http://labs.hol.vmware.com/HOL/catalogs/catalog/681)

It may be useful to understand a bit of the high-level overview of which components play in the portfolio. Probably key items to look at are:

1\. vSphere (comprised of vCenter and ESXi for compute virtualization) 2.a. Either, vRealize suite (primarily vRealize Automation) 2.b. Or, vSphere Integrated OpenStack (if you want to use OpenStack instead of vRealize)

API docs are located on [https://code.vmware.com](https://code.vmware.com) though if you don't have a mental model of the system already it could be somewhat complex to follow along unaided.</comment>

Blind recruitment trial to boost gender equality making things worse - <AUTHOR> http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-30/bilnd-recruitment-trial-to-improve-gender-equality-failing-study/8664888 <comment><USER2> Is anyone troubled that the study found bias against qualified candidates (who happen to be male) in current hiring practices?

Is the objective to have hiring practices that are fair to all applicants (woman, minorities and even males)? Or is the objective to have a diversity quota?

 _FTA: "We found the opposite, that de-identifying candidates reduced the likelihood of women being selected for the shortlist."

The trial found assigning a male name to a candidate made them 3.2 per cent less likely to get a job interview.

Adding a woman's name to a CV made the candidate 2.9 per cent more likely to get a foot in the door._</comment>
