In August 2008, start working on my startup idea with my best friend who is also a co-worker at the day job. We work nights and weekends. April 2009, I quit full time, start working 20 hours a week, and work on the startup 40-50 hours/week

Also, I forgot to mention we're also looking for Backend Engineers. Our entire server is written in Clojure. We're looking for candidates with experience in any "weird" language: Clojure, Scheme, CL, Haskell, OCaml, Erlang, Brainfuck.

Thanks! We have a couple ideas on how to make non-magic parallelization easier to set up. Expect to see that in the next few weeks.

Hey, I'm the other founder at Circle. So the entire backend is clojure. For the devops stuff, we use pallet [1], a clojure library similar to puppet or chef, and stevedore, a clojure DSL for writing bash. We actually have zero bash in the s

I'd also request testing on multi-monitor setups. When plugging my MBP into an external display, sometimes flux transitions to the external monitor, sometimes it doesn't.

Does the HSTS list store the signature? Seems like if you see an HSTS site later convert to self-signed, that's always a security breach.

It's closer to weekly than biennial. At GitHub's size, there are minor hiccups that affect a small number of users more often than any one user will see. My company ( https://circleci.com ) uses GitHub OAuth and checks out code as its core

Totally disagree. The reason GitHub is a SaaS is because that's the most effective way to solve the problem. The problem with hosting git yourself is the hosting git. Then you have to worry about getting a machine from IT, and security pa

Channeling patio11 here: $10-100 is really cheap, unless you're talking about per developer, per month, and then it's just cheap. Well, $10/dev/mo is cheap, $100/dev/mo is reasonable. If your service is only $10/dev/mo, figure out a way

We're written in Clojure, so we're looking for people with Clojure/Scheme/Haskell/Scala experience. Yes, I've heard of Nix. I'd love to use it :)

Can anyone explain why this is hard, technically?

I agree we need a better healthcare system. My point was that starting a successful company would still be hard, even if health insurance was taken out of the equation. It'd probably still be hard even if making rent was taken out as well.

If they're crass enough to sue for unlawful termination after being racist, what makes you think 'sensitivity training' will make them not sue? (I'm not trying to be snarky, BTW, just trying to understand hiring law, and bad employees)

by arohner 14y ago
Stupid question: It's already illegal to discriminate and harass on the basis of race. Why do you need a training program to make it less risky to fire people over it?

While true, it's worth pointing out the Romans devalued their silver coins. One day they woke up and said "The denarian will now contain X grams of silver, rather than X+N grams. Oh and btw, all those contracts we wrote that said we'd pay y
