Introducing the Rails API Project - <AUTHOR> http://blog.steveklabnik.com/posts/2012-11-22-introducing-the-rails-api-project <comment><USER2> Wouldn't this be better as a new lightweight generator for the existing rails project? i.e.

$ rails new api

instead of

$ rails new

My concern is that rails-api will diverge from rails and I'll be stuck having to decide which is the easiest starting point where I want features from both.

<comment><USER3> It already is: <https://github.com/rails-api/rails-api#for-new-apps>

This is not a fork of Rails, it's just a set of plugins that work together nicely. Luckily, all the work on Rails 3 means that Rails is super modular, and it's easy to break off just the bits that you want. See Crafting Rails Applications[1] for more on this topic.

</comment></comment><comment><USER4> A few days ago I found myself getting a rather strange git error while running bundle after upgrading to the latest ruby. Turns out the active record serializer gem was moved just hours earlier to this rails-api location without any reason or notice. It was referenced by a git revision, because we needed the latest changes and it was also encouraged in the readme (as it still is now).

My issue with all this is that we already had tagged revisions in our application and this basically broke our older builds on which we actually relied on should things go wrong (the application is a rails engine).

So I think it would had been nice if this was announced earlier.

<comment><USER3> So sorry about this. I was travelling back from Europe, and we had to coordinate between everyone who owned the various gems, so there was a bit of overlap there.

I hope to not be encouraging people to use HEAD soon.

<comment><USER4> It's ok. I think we should had fork the repo and reference that in the first place.

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER5> I'm not trying but be harsh but I've never really understood the need for this project. I mean, Rails just boils down to a collection of gems right? So wouldn't you be best just cherry-picking your own gems? Or using something barebones to begin with, like sinatra/padrino?

<comment><USER6> Rails loads ton of stuff you don't need if dealing with a simples REST API, for example... So yes, you could only start with sinatra/padrino and add the things you want, or do like these guys and start with rails and remove everything you do not need.

<comment><USER7> I think that you've hit the nail on the head, and highlighted 2 differing styles of building web apps within the Ruby community.

There is a great post about this here: [http://rubysource.com/rails-or- sinatra-the-best-of-both-worl...](http://rubysource.com/rails-or-sinatra-the- best-of-both-worlds/)

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER8> Seems like a great initiative. As a django user, I was using tastypie, which sits on top of django for creating an API. I agree that it's nice to reduce some fat, if it's really not necessary.

On a side note, and sorry for going off-topic, but referring to this comment

> Security: Rails detects and thwarts IP spoofing attacks and handles > cryptographic signatures in a timing attack aware way. Don't know what an IP > spoofing attack or a timing attack is? Exactly.

It's not completely transparent to developers, or it shouldn't be. If you're not careful, your rails app _might be_ vulnerable to IP spoofing even now.

See <https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/7980> and [http://blog.gingerlime.com/2012/rails-ip-spoofing- vulnerabil...](http://blog.gingerlime.com/2012/rails-ip-spoofing- vulnerabilities-and-protection/)

<comment><USER9> The good news is that the Rails project has a robust security process, and because we handle IP spoofing, there's a place to discuss this vulnerability.

(See <http://rubyonrails.org/security> ; as a member of the security list, I can verify that we take every report extremely seriously)

That means that long-term, the number of vulnerabilities in Rails apps decrease, even for users unaware of the specific vulnerabilities. Again, that doesn't mean that Rails apps will never be vulnerable, it just means that you're sharing much of the responsibility for securing your app with many others through a project that takes resolving security vulnerabilities extremely seriously.

<comment><USER8> That's really good to know. I don't doubt the rails project has a good security process. I wasn't aware of this page, but perhaps should have searched better.

I believe that the security coordinator (Michael Koziarski) was actually involved on the discussion around this on github, so I'm not sure whether this needs to be forwarded to the email address again?

I'm not trying to make this into a huge issue, which in most setups and apps most likely isn't. I do think it's important people are aware of this, and if they are vulnerable they can and should protect themselves. I have suggested a number of workarounds to address this issue on my post in hope that people use those, whether or not the rails project as a whole is going to address the issue.

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER10> We're using this to build internal services - I'm currently wondering if there's a best practice for taking querystring params and mapping them to an ActiveRecord query.

Obviously, it's possible to build a "Searchable" module/class, but I wondered if anyone has already solved this problem?

Eg, pagingation, querying on date-ranges, ordering, filtering etc.

<comment><USER11> There's nothing like that in rails-api yet, but I can see how that'd be useful, for sure.

</comment></comment><comment><USER12> Does the hypermedia support exist now, or is that a future goal? I couldn't tell from your blog post whether the use of future tense "will" about most of the features implies "when you use it" or "when we write it" ;)

I also didn't see much in the READMEs or open issues having to do with hypermedia at a quick glance.

Also, LOL at steveklabnik2 ;)

<comment><USER3> > Does the hypermedia support exist now, or is that a future goal?

Future goal. There's nothing at the moment, but it's a case that we're interested in. I'd love to talk about exactly what we need to do on the mailing list.

> Also, LOL at steveklabnik2 ;)

Yeah, steveklabnik would still be almost in top 100 to this day, I just looked. Sigh.

</comment></comment><comment><USER13> As someone creating a large Javascript application with a Rails API, this makes me very happy. Perfect timing!

<comment><USER3> Awesome. Please let me know how I can help you build your apps more effectively.

</comment></comment><comment><USER14> I've built quite a few Rails-based APIs recently, and one of the major pain points (for me) has been the performance of generating the actual JSON in the payloads. I've ended up with a modified JBuilder gem and using a subset of its render methods, but performance is still pretty lack-lustre. Compared to to_json, it's absolutely glacial!

I'm wondering how the serialization in rails-api performs in this regard? I'm assuming as this is a core part of its differentiation from rails base, and so it should be better than JBuilder. Has anyone run any benchmarks for JSON rendering?

Forgive me if this is a naive question, this is the first I've heard of rails- api and I haven't explored the source or tried it out as yet.

<comment><USER11> It uses (well, encourages the use of) AMS, which, as I understand, is way faster than JBuilder. Don't have a benchmark handy, though, as I haven't run into this problem personally.

</comment></comment><comment><USER15> We'll be taking this for a spin. I've been pushing for an API-driven site for awhile but the case for that model was cinched when we started adding non-web clients to our system.

A leaned-out Rails is a nice compliment to other bolt-on API options and fat GUI-based API builders. Personally I prefer to start with something even simpler, but the facts are you can cover more ground faster (and potentially safer) with something like this vs. building your HTTP stack from scratch.

The Hypermedia stuff is most exciting to me, as hand-rolling that is a hard- sell for many teams (if you have a system of any significant richness).

<comment><USER3> Awesome. Let me know how it goes, please. :)

> The Hypermedia stuff is most exciting to me,

Me too. There's nothing concrete here yet, but there's lots of space to explore and good things to build. I really want us to be a leader in this space.

<comment><USER16> I'm very excited about this as well. Any hints about what's on the roadmap?

Would love to see easy versioning with custom mime types and link headers for pagination and associated resources. Maybe that doesn't belong in core... but it would still be pretty cool.

<comment><USER17> My testing shows that versionist works just fine with rails-api apps to provide versioning capabilities. If you run into any problems, please file an issue.

<https://github.com/bploetz/versionist>

<comment><USER16> thanks. i'll give it a try... it wasn't on my radar. :)

</comment></comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER18> What's the easiest way to make this work well with the asset pipeline assuming I wanted to make a single page app hosted in the same project? Or should I just not do that?

edit: thanks, guys!

<comment><USER3> The asset pipline isn't removed, so you don't need to do anything special.

That said, I don't think that it's ideal for heavy JS apps. Lots of possible work that could be done in this area.

<comment><USER19> > That said, I don't think that it's ideal for heavy JS apps.

Rails-api churns out JSON, JS consumes it. I can think of performance being an issue.

What are the other issues?

<comment><USER3> I've responded to your sibling.

</comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER20> This is great, getting started guide would be nice too.

<comment><USER3> Thanks! Do you need something more than what's in the README[1], or do you mean I should have linked it from my post?

1: <https://github.com/rails-api/rails-api#railsapi>

<comment><USER21> This has come at a time I'm looking at Grape mounted in a Rails app for an API layer. Is there a simple way to explain to those of us with less API building experience what the pros/cons are of using rails-api over something like the Grape gem?

<comment><USER3> It's the exact same as Sinatra vs. Rails: build it all yourself vs. using a framework that has it built for you.

</comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER22> We've had a lot of love recently for Goliath + Grape, e.g. see: [https://github.com/postrank- labs/goliath/blob/master/example...](https://github.com/postrank- labs/goliath/blob/master/examples/grape/server.rb)

Goliath is it's own asynchronous app server, and it wraps around the nice Grape API DSL. Works really well for little projects I'd rather write in ruby than CoffeeScript + node.js

<comment><USER23> Goliath is not only relatively slow, it limits you to using libraries which have both an EventMachine implementation _and_ an em-synchrony-style Fibered wrapper around them, which is basically a scant fraction of the total Ruby libraries available. This is pretty silly.

<comment><USER22> Yeah just async HTTP/TCP, databases, and system commands. Not anything anyone really uses

<comment><USER23> There is certainly _not_ an EventMachine counterpart for every Ruby library available today. Furthermore, the EventMachine versions of most libraries are second class citizens compared to the synchronous versions of these libraries.

Goliath/em-synchrony make the situation even worse: now not only do you have to have an EventMachine version of a library (which is already probably less featureful and more poorly maintained than the synchronous version), you need a version of that EventMachine library which has been wrapped with Fibers. This means your pool of available libraries is even smaller and poorly maintained than what was available with EventMachine, let alone what's available with synchronous libraries. And all of this is to get you an API which resembles what the synchronous libraries would've given you in the first place.

Rails(-API) is designed to work with that rich ecosystem of well-maintained synchronous libraries. Due to its design, Goliath can't work with them.

So the question is: why would you forego the synchronous library ecosystem in Ruby to get "fake" synchronous libraries that only work with libraries that are 1) built from the ground up against EventMachine 2) have been wrapped to look like normal synchronous libraries em-synchrony style?

<comment><USER22> To have a ruby HTTP server with async request handling and semi-readable code?

</comment></comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER10> This looks great - I'll be trying it out for a project this week.

I'm still searching around for a good solution to API "views" or presenters when I don't want to expose all of a model's attributes. Something like Rabl? What do other people use?

<comment><USER3> The organization includes ActiveModel::Serializers, which is really important for giving you normalized JavaScript output. Rabl is slow and manual, which is the opposite of the Rails philosophy. Convention over Configuration wins every time.

<comment><USER10> ActiveModel::Serializers is exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER24> Rails-api isn't a new project, and the name of the project is misleading. It provides a no-frills controller. Why is this is another project and not part of actionpack?

<comment><USER25> ActionPack already has enough debris in it that it's starting to look like a typical suburban garage so crowded with boxes and nicknacks that there's no room for the car it was intended for.

This is better as a separate thing. Maybe it could absorb the under-utilized ActiveResource subsystem.

<comment><USER11> ActiveResource is being pulled out of Rails 4 and being put into its own gem.

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER26> Would be interesting to see some simple benchmarks comparing a base JSON only Rails app with Rails::API.

<comment><USER3> The problem with benchmarks is that they don't really correspond to reality. Your app is not a simple test app. Your site will not be running on my MacBook Air. Your users won't have the usage patterns my script does.

<comment><USER27> This is true, but they're better than nothing.

<comment><USER23> A bad benchmark is worse than nothing

<comment><USER27> What is bad about the OP'd suggest benchmark?

<comment><USER23> I'll just leave this here: <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEJ1n13soWU>

</comment></comment></comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER28> Whoa whoa whoa guys, timeout! I thought Rails enforced REST conventions on all your models and therefore Gives You An API For Free? Wasn't that its big selling point? Or of adhering to REST in general?

<comment><USER29> Rails doesn't enforce anything - but it does encourage you to follow a RESTful style (not necessarily REST itself).

But the point of this is to strip out the defaults in Rails that are included because they are convenient in full-blown apps, that aren't needed in apps that only serve APIs (reducing bloat and probably making things faster). How much of an issue those things are in a real application will vary.

From the article:

> we can remove many parts of Rails that aren't important in an API context: > many middleware don't make sense, and all of ActionView can go away

...

> Similarly, the structure of ActionController::Base is interesting: it > includes a ton of modules that implement various features. This means that > we can build an alternate 'controller stack' that doesn't include all of the > ones that are in Base.

</comment></comment><comment><USER30> Interesting project, but if you're only building an API, using a much more lightweight combo such as nodejs + express seems better.

<comment><USER25> I challenge you to build some non-toy API with Node.JS and then try the same thing in Rails.

Express is decent enough, but it's barely an equal to Merb.

<comment><USER30> Challenge accepted: we have an API up and running at tldr.io :) We don't have a gazillion hits everyday for sure, and it may not be as complex as Twitter but: \- It works perfectly \- It really wasn't that difficult to build

<comment><USER25> The second half of that challenge is to compare to how hard it would've been in Rails.

<comment><USER30> I can also answer that as I've a fair bit of Rails experience. This time, we built our API using nodejs/expressjs for the first time, so we had to learn it plus the ins and outs of handling user login, sessions, CORS and a lot of small things Rails does for you. So we wouls probably have been faster with Rails.

If we need to build another product from scratch again though, we'll definitely be faster with nodejs. I understand that nodejs programming seems strange/hard to do in a non-spagetthi way to some people, but really, after a few months it is not hard.</comment></comment></comment></comment></comment>


Show HN: Version 0.0.3 – New Tab Lite - <AUTHOR> https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/new-tab-lite/mmcfakhifkbklimgbnmmlmkgegollpgh <comment><AUTHOR> An extremely fast and lightweight(< 5 KB) New Tab extension for chrome which displays all your bookmarks on the new tab.

Features \- Minimalistic There are many extensions which provide you beautiful pictures and what not. This extension follows a minimalistic approach where only bookmarks are shown. If you are a person who likes a minimalistic approach for things, then this extension is made for you. \- Folder Structure Bookmarks stored in a folder appear inside a pane with the name of the folder being the title of the panel. Refer to the screenshot for more details.

\- Extremely small The size of this extension is just 3.92 KB (Compared to other extensions which is at least 2 times greater in size. You can verify this by comparing the sizes of extensions at the bottom right corner in the web store)

\- Super fast This new tab extension loads in just 90-100ms which is 9 to 10 times faster than the default new tab page (The default new tab page takes about a second to load. This can be verified using chrome developer tools.)

\- A perfect fit The new tab page adjusts and re-aligns itself to fit perfectly to your chrome window. No matter how big or small your chrome window is, you never have to scroll horizontally. EVER.

\- Open Source You can contribute and make this extension better on github. Link - [https://github.com/ramkumar-kr/new-tab- lite](https://github.com/ramkumar-kr/new-tab-lite)</comment>


Google should allow for the sharing of email filters. - <AUTHOR>

Just a thought.. for all you gmail employees reading hacker news =). A lot of problems can be solved for my friends if I could somehow share my e-mail filters with them =). <comment><USER2> But Gmail already _does_ allow sharing of email filters. It's something they added recently, I think - it's still in the Google Labs tab. It's called "Filter Import/Export."

(Edit: that's the cool thing about Gmail, really - if you can think of a feature, they probably already thought of it, too.)

Edit #2: looks like it exports filters in XML, which is nice. Here's a pretty good overview of the feature:

[http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2009/03/export-gmail- filter...](http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2009/03/export-gmail-filters.html)

<comment><AUTHOR> Many thanks =)

</comment></comment><comment><USER3> Yes, that would indeed be awesome.

I have about 17 emails coming into my gmail account. And have extensive filtering, prioritization going.</comment>


Nate Lawson Breaks Google Keyczar's HMAC Crypto Signatures - <AUTHOR> http://rdist.root.org/2009/05/28/timing-attack-in-google-keyczar-library/

<comment><AUTHOR> Smart Google people worked really hard to get this right. But they used the wrong comparison function --- one that leaked timing information --- and so attackers could forge messages.

Atwood really thinks we should be trying to educate developers about how to build crypto?

<comment><USER2> This is an incredibly dumb bug -- while Nate claims that "The lesson from this is that crypto flaws can be very subtle", this isn't really a subtle or novel flaw from a cryptographic perspective: Replace "HMAC" with "password", and this attack was published decades ago and is probably the most commonly mentioned side channel attack in the cryptographic literature.

 _Atwood really thinks we should be trying to educate developers about how to build crypto?_

I'm not sure where Atwood comes into this; but I don't see how having non- skilled developers stay away from cryptographic code would have helped here. Yes, this is the sort of mistake which people with a little bit of cryptographic knowledge ("just enough to be dangerous") can make easily -- of course, that's as much an argument for giving them more knowledge as it is for preventing them from having any at all -- but Stephen Weis is not such a person. He did a PhD in cryptography, supervised by Rivest; no amount of saying "crypto is hard, you should use existing libraries instead of writing your own" would have kept him away from making this mistake.

<comment><USER3> There is obviously plenty of literature about side channel attacks, particularly timing attacks (which you have contributed to ;-)).

But, among 'lay programmers' I've met, I would say that more than 9/10 have no idea what a 'side channel attack' is. In my experience, its unusual (~ 3/10) for a programmer to know what asymmetric encryption is. I don't expect most programmers to know the particular math behind RSA (let alone ECC/etc), but many don't even the general idea of having a function and its inverse with properties A, B, and C.

<comment><AUTHOR> I suspect that the majority of people who "use" RSA don't feel like they need to understand the math behind it, even though the math behind it has practical security consequences.

<comment><USER4> I think that plenty of people feel confident rolling RSA or DH into a protocol design precisely because they _do_ understand the math. The structure of both algorithms is very simple (In the case of DH maybe even trivial), but if you don't understand dozens of (not-very-obvious) attacks against both algorithms you're never going to be able to use them or implement them correctly.

</comment></comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER5> _This allows an attacker to iteratively try various HMAC values and see how long it takes the server to respond. The longer it takes, the more characters he has correct._

Can one of the security gurus here explain this in a bit more detail? I'm guessing he would base this on an average over a sample of response times with the same input. Otherwise, how would he account for other things happening on the server that could affect the timing for a single request?

<comment><USER6> The important thing that probably isn't obvious is how few samples you actually need. Jitter is essentially random, which means it is decorrelated from the repeated pattern (1 compare takes longer, 255 take the same time)

With the added noise (jitter), all you need to do is distinguish the two normal distributions. This takes less samples than you might guess at first. Think of it as the same problem as distinguishing a biased coin (51% heads) from an indentical-looking unbiased one, merely by flipping each. Given the known bias percent and a desired confidence level (say 95%), calculate how many flips you will need to make a decision.

</comment></comment><comment><USER7> That is so sick. (in an awesome way)

It's like evolution in action. The defensive crypto guy's carapace has been pierced by the hacker's slow methodical leverage.

<comment><AUTHOR> You want sick? Here's sick.

An AES block is 16 bytes long. You want to encrypt the lyrics to "Yellow Submarine". You can't just repeat AES for each 16 byte block, because then you can tell where the words "yellow submarine" --- 1 AES block --- occur: they'll encrypt to the same block. So you use CBC mode, XOR'ing each plaintext block to the previous ciphertext block, creating a unique ciphertext every time you encrypt those lyrics. But "Yellow Submarine" is 902 characters long; the last block is 6 bytes short. So you pad the message which a count of the pad characters --- 06h 06h 06h 06h 06h 06h.

With me so far?

Decrypt the message. Check the padding: it should repeat as many times as the value of the last byte. If not, you decrypted badly. Send an error to that effect.

Hey guess what! I can decrypt parts of your message!

If I stick a random AES block in your message, it will scramble the padded block. Every once in awhile, that scrambled message will end in 01h. 01h is valid padding. The message will be gibberish, but you at least won't tell me it had bad padding.

You wouldn't tell me if you decrypted to bad padding if I generated 02h 02h either. But that's much less likely than 01h.

Now I know that your plaintext XOR my random block produces a last byte of 01h. Solve.

Now my point: this is actually way old news --- back to Bleichenbacher and Vaudenay and probably before that (I'm not the resident expert) --- but attacks like this have broken peer-reviewed versions of TLS, the most peer- reviewed crypto protocol ever designed.

Don't build crypto.

<comment><USER6> This attack was found by Bodo Moeller in OpenSSL. I posted about this here, including a link to the slides: <http://rdist.root.org/2008/01/25/tlsssl-mac- security-flaw/>

<comment><USER8> ... and by Bellare, Kohno, and Namprempre for SSH: <http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/yoshi/papers/SSH/>

</comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER4> I'm skeptical that this attack would work against the Java implementation. Surely a language which rivals C for performance does not compare arrays of primitives one byte at a time?

I've thought about locally attacking Unix password authentication in a similar way for quite some time by throwing random passwords at something like 'su' until I have guessed the first 3-4 bytes of the password hash (with timing) and then performing a dictionary attack against the truncated hash. This could never work though unless the hashes are compared bytewise instead of with something like an optimized memcmp().

<comment><USER4> I looked it up and I'm wrong. Copying an array is implemented with native memmove() but comparing two arrays really is done one element at a time.</comment></comment>


10 Fonts for Code - <AUTHOR> http://typecast.com/blog/10-fonts-for-code <comment><USER2> What an abysmal website UX for comparing typefaces. I've got to scroll through oceans of whitespace to move between type samples -- no chance of having them on the screen at the same time without opening multiple browser windows -- and the actual type samples are different from each other, making them hard to compare.

After mentioning the importance of distinguishing O/0, l/1, etc., the subsequent samples don't all include these characters. Some of the samples don't even include any numerals!

The author points out how programmers prefer monospace fonts for their clarity and legibility, then, ironically, shows some of the samples in a washed-out low contrast color scheme, quite contrary to the typical high-contrast colors the typical coder uses, again, for the sake of clarity and legibility.

Would it have been too much to ask to put consistent samples, in a consistently-readable color scheme, on the screen simultaneously? Why does a website ostensibly devoted to design itself have such awful design?

</comment><comment><USER3> I love trying new fixed width fonts, but I keep returning to Bitstream Vera Sans Mono because it seems the sharpest at a variety of sizes (to my eyes, at least).

However, I'm going to give Fira another chance.

<comment><AUTHOR> unfortunately it looks like the line height is way offin Fira, at least in Vim

Filmstruck shutting down - <AUTHOR> https://variety.com/2018/digital/news/filmstruck-shutdown-warnermedia-turner-1202998364/ <comment><USER2> I will miss Filmstruck. Their film catalog was practically the mirror image of Netflix's: older films, foreign films, and (my favorite) access to the whole Criterion Collection. I wonder if this means the films they had streaming rights to will reappear on other popular streaming platforms, or if they're going to go back to buy-to-stream. Or worse, if these films will have no legal streaming option at all, just discs.

</comment><comment><USER3> Argh! I was _desperate_ to join FilmStruck, but I do my streaming through my PS4, and at launch they didn't support the PS4 but promised that was coming real soon now. So I waited. And waited. And waited. And now they're shutting down.

</comment><comment><USER4> This is disappointing. I really enjoyed this service for watching old samurai and yakuza films.

I also appreciated that they highlighted films that were leaving the service soon, so I could prioritize any that were on my watch list.</comment>

We're looking for Semantic Web and Ruby Developers but if you're a strong developer who doesn't know Ruby yet that's no obstacle. We have extremely flexible hours, collaborative coder DNA, and we provide good tools, lunches, and great health care.

Pikimal is working to change how people use the web to make decisions. Once users tell us what's important to them, we can tell them what's best for them. Since all of our recommendations are based solely on facts, users receive results separate from marketing.

Please include a link to public code you've written or your Github repo when you apply. Feel free to reach out directly to my first name @pikimal.com

<comment><USER13> Pikimal is a great company to work for. At this point in my career, the opportunity to grow as a coder is super important to me, and I'm getting plenty of opportunity here.

</comment><comment><USER17> London, UK: Songkick (YC07) is looking for a Systems Engineer and an Agile Tester. In both cases we're looking for someone who can work on-site with the rest of our team.

See <http://www.songkick.com/info/jobs> for details, and contact firstname.lastname@example.com if you're interested.

<comment><USER18> What the heck is an agile tester?

<comment><USER19> sm1 who follows agile devlopement methodolgy ??

<comment><USER17> More someone who can run testing in a way which fits well with agile development, rather than simply verifying functionality once development is largely complete.

In our case this means working closely with developers, product owners etc. early in the development cycle to ensure that acceptance criteria are fully explored and agreed on, helping the engineering team build automated acceptance tests, which we use to drive development, and exploratory testing throughout the development process.

<comment><USER18> Sorry if I came off snarky in my question. I def didn't mean it that way.

Your explanation makes some sense, but (IMO) engineering teams should just strive to have developers own the testing process, especially if you except it to be "agile" automated testing of the unit/functional/continuous integration variety. Is testing not something that developers should (collectively) own?

More finely granulated titles/roles = less agile.

<comment><USER20> I used to believe this until I actually worked in a team with dedicated testing staff. While it is entirely the responsibility of the developer to test changes and functionality to the best of their ability, testing is arguably a skillset in itself.

Our QA will test any new changes from every possible angle (will that work on all international sites? For all products? What if a user gets half way through that process, opens a new tab and changes to a different point in the flow, makes some changes, then comes back to the first tab and continues? What happens then?)

That and thorough regression testing mean that no matter how subtle any introduced bugs might be, QA will make sure that at the very least it won't effect sales (or whatever core business process is absolutely mission critical).

While in theory developers could do all of this, having staff that set out deliberately to break developers code creates a really good dynamic in the workplace. We mark stories as code complete and expect testers to come back with at least one round of bugs. A lot of the time we'll spot them just as or just before we commit, but the testers are good at digging down and finding edge cases that developers often miss.

We're looking for a Rails (we use a lot of cool tech, like rails 3 and mongodb) and/or Android (wanna port our app over to scala?) guy to help us out. I'm the CTO of Zazu -- <http://getzazu.com> \--, where we're building the Smartest Damn Alarm Clock (but we're so much more than that). Get in touch with me at email@example.com

We're based out of Boston, but you can work from anywhere.

<comment><USER22> Lemme rephrase something (comment edit window timed out):

The end goal of Zazu is to build Jarvis from Iron Man. We have delusions of grandeur, but we will not rest until it's done. The current iteration of the product is an Android application that replaces the built-in alarm clock with an alarm clock that we believe to be more intelligent: it pulls whatever information you find important -- like your RSS feeds, your calendar, your email, your twitter stream -- and reads that information to you using a Text- To-Speech engine.

We're working with a few big brands to create a new form of interactive marketing/advertising and we promise that we're only going to be providing relevant information to our users... so y'all won't be blasted with Colon Blow advertisements 1000x a day.

We're going to be leaving the morning space fairly soon, meaning we'll integrate with your calendar to let you know what you need to regarding where you are and where you need to be (both physically and metaphorically). We're trying to transform the moment of alert into a moment of informed decision making. We'll be looking at emails and other areas that involve alerting and decision making, too.

We're doing some really awesome things with a number of technologies.. Our stack includes Python/Django, MySQL, jQuery, Java. We'd like to add at least two more people to the development team in short-order (more details here: <http://elationemr.com/jobs.html>).

Please be in touch. We'd love to tell you more about what we're up to!

<comment><USER28> If you're in San Fran, I cannot recommend looking into this company highly enough. I interviewed with them and was thoroughly impressed, and would have taken the job but chickened out on moving away from NYC. That's good news for you. Don't be put off if you know nothing about the health industry or EMR -- it's an exceedingly interesting space once you learn about it.

They're backed by well-networked investors with solid records of success, the founders are extremely familiar with the health industry and have a solid plan to take it on (not to mention, EMR is about to explode and all current implementations of it are stone-age), and the problems you'd be working on are absolutely awesome. You'd be creating a highly sought after product that's poised to create a tremendous amount of value, both in the way patients and physicians interact, and as a profitable product.

If UI and Javascript are your specialty, then I can guarantee you that you won't find more interesting work, and if you do, it certainly will not have greater possible upside or impact on an industry.

We are behind uswitch.com, getinvisiblehand.com, omio.com, justcages.co.uk, petvillas.co.uk, forward3d.co.uk etc.

You can take a look at who we are and what we do at <http://www.forwardtechnology.co.uk>.

One of our guys created statefulapp.com during the recent Rails Rumble (been on the frontpage of HN recently), many others contribute to open source.

We have been doubling our revenues every single year (up to £100m in 2010) and plan to continue to do it as long as possible. So, we need great people!

We're looking for great developers (and many other roles too) to work on a variety of exciting online projects. We use Clojure, Ruby, Hadoop, Node.js, Sinatra etc.

Above all we're looking for smart, ambitious, entrepreneurial people. Full job spec is here: <http://www.forward.co.uk/careers> or here: <http://www.forwardtechnology.co.uk/>

And it's fun to work here: you choose the hardware you want, you buy the books you need, the hours are flexible, no dress code, the people are reasonable and the entertainment budget is generous: for example the entire company hangs out in Las Vegas night clubs and casinos for 4 days every December (meet us all there next Thursday) and we've recently returned from Disneyland in Paris (birthday celebrations).

To find out more email me at email@example.com with your CV.

p.s. sorry, all our devs are on-site, we don't hire remote devs. Also, given the recent changes to the immigration laws in the UK, it will be very challenging (maybe even impossible) for us to arrange a visa unless you're an EU national or already have a work permit.

TechCrunch is. We're looking for an intermediate-level Rails developer to help us out on CrunchBase (the versioning complicates a seemingly simple product quite a bit). We are doing a back-end rework of the existing code base and this needs to be deployed soon. There are also interesting features that are planned after the deploy.

I reckon majority of your time will be spent working on CrunchBase. Since TC runs on the WP platform, some portion of your time would be spent on operational stuff as well (at least until we find a dedicated person for that). Additional PHP background could be put to good use here as both operational requirements/small new projects keep coming up from time to time.

We are understaffed currently (I'm the only in-house Rails Dev/Tech everything person) and we definitely need a smart, hands-on, motivated person.

After over 13 years, SoftArtisans still maintains the exciting atmosphere of a startup, giving employees exceptional opportunities to significantly impact the company and the products we develop. The SoftArtisans team is a close-knit group of people who like to both share new challenges and have fun. Every day, we collaborate at our desks, over lunch in the common kitchen, or over the foosball table - whether it is to come up with solutions to new programming challenges we've have run into, to discuss ways to improve the company, or to make plans for a laser-bagel-cutting-toaster and continuous bread machine. We are encouraged to pursue our individual interests, with hackathons consisting of multiple days dedicated exclusively to work on personal projects or to pick up new skills. In one such hackathon our team members built a model car controlled remotely by an Android AI via Bluetooth, picked up a new language, created a browser based game with HTML5, modified git to improve the log interface, and tried out a new restaurant for lunch, all while finishing a release package. We also hold various after work activities ranging from a night of board games to jumping out of a plane.

For more information, check out <http://softartisans.com/careers.html> or send your resume to firstname.lastname@example.com with the position(s) you are interested in.

Looking for an outstanding software engineer. We help people find apartments. We're an Agile development team for the flagship division of a well- established Internet advertising company. We run multiple sites receiving over 3 million unique visitors a month.

Our company is primarily a PHP shop, but we care less about your knowledge of PHP and more about your understanding of object-oriented programming and interpersonal skills. (If you'll invest in us, we'll invest in you.) Also, we maintain a lot of mobile apps and are developing some new applications with Ruby on Rails. We're looking for people who at least have an interest in design patterns, unit testing, test-driven development, and Agile project management.

In addition to just running traditional big websites, projects focus on mobile websites, mobile apps, client-side awesomeness, SMS services, web analytics, reporting, automated testing, highly available systems, user experience, web services, data distribution, email marketing, search engine optimization and various administrative tools.

It's very rare to work more than 40 hours a week here. As a new team member, you'll get a brand-new iMac and a 24" second monitor. You can run whatever OS and IDE you like. Your meetings will be focused on collaboration rather than process. We focus on working software, not comprehensive documentation. We hire motivated individuals so we can give them the tools they need and trust them to get the job done. There are frequent technical training sessions. There are various user groups within the company that meet once a month and lunch is always provided. We also provide tuition reimbursement.

Call Andrew at (757) 739-0397.

Our first product is still very profitable and I have some more curveballs in the pipeline. Looking for a technical cofounder. I'm technically competent (I code, fairly well, and can hack my way around pretty much anything) but looking for someone way stronger than me. You should be good with python, pylons, cogen, PHP, JavaScript, Linux, etc. You should be about 20-26 years old, good at math, looking to make a lot of money (I have specific targets), and not lost in delusions about "changing the world" and chasing VC funding. Products must have a clear monetization strategy from day 1. Looking to do some cool stuff combining nerdy genius with internet marketing. For the right person I'll fly you out to Mountain View, etc. Please "keep it real."

<comment><USER33> So -- blatant age discrimination, huh? That's... awesome, dude.

<comment><USER146> I'm 23. I'm looking for a partner, not a W2 employee.

<comment><USER33> That's cool. Still, it's better form to at least try to not to use language that smacks of category-based discrimination. Just stating your age, for example, will instantly repel anyone in the pushing-30-or-over set.

<comment><USER146> In the past I have attracted older people who want to partner, so although I welcome advice on form your feedback is flawed.

The Node Security Platform service is shutting down 9/30 - <AUTHOR> https://blog.npmjs.org/post/175511531085/the-node-security-platform-service-is-shutting <comment><USER2> > just type npm i -g npm@latest

Isn't that the same command what caused a lot of headache a few months ago with changing directory permissions? With the response being, don't run latest unless you want to break things.</comment>


Symbian Finishes As 2011's Top Mobile OS - <AUTHOR> http://www.webpronews.com/nokia%E2%80%99s-symbian-finishes-as-2011%E2%80%99s-top-mobile-os-2011-12

<comment><USER2> This is about total subscribers, so I'm not surprised that Symbian is still leading the way. Android surpassed Symbian in _new_ sales since late 2010 and now has about 50% market share for new sales, but it still has a little more to go before it surpasses Symbian's total user base. It's just now starting to surpass the iOS (iPhone/iPod touch/iPad) total user base, too.</comment>
