DuoSRXon Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (August 2014)

Location: Vancouver, BC / Paris, France

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: Yes

Stack (pro): Ruby, Rails, Javascript (jQuery, AngularJS), Clojure, PostgreSQL/MySQL, Redis, AWS, Chef

I'm a full stack developer with a preference for the back-end part of web applications. I'm currently working for KissKissBankBank (the leading European Crowdfunding website) in Paris (France) but will be leaving the company and moving to Vancouver BC in August. I'm already authorized to work there, no boring visa paperwork for you!

I'm looking for the next big challenge, ideally in a small company or startup. I love to learn new stuff every day and work with a team of cool people.

Bonus points if you're in those areas: crowdfunding, cryptocurrencies or hardware.

I can't edit anymore but I obviously meant "will be leaving the company", not moving!

DuoSRXon Show HN: See Kickstarter successes and failures

I replied the same thing to another post, but these stats are already available on KS. http://www.kickstarter.com/help/stats

DuoSRXon Show HN: See Kickstarter successes and failures

The success rate is actually 44%. You can find the stats directly on Kickstarter. http://www.kickstarter.com/help/stats

DuoSRXon Show HN: movies.io — torrent search like it should be

"Lambda" is often used in french as an adjective for "average", "ordinary" or "typical".

DuoSRXon "If you want to order it, use 'view source' to find the commented-out link."

DuoSRXon I Like PHP

DuoSRXon Apple Says Jobs Is Taking a New Medical Leave

$AAPL is used on twitter to talk about stocks, just like # is used for hashtags. Like $AAPL, $GOOG, $MSFT ... etc

DuoSRXon Apple the new world leader in software insecurity

The actual report (http://secunia.com/gfx/pdf/Secunia_Half_Year_Report_2010.pdf) is only about Windows computers. So it's about iTunes, Safari ... for Windows, not Mac OSX.

"In the first part of the report we look at the global picture covering all vulnerabilities in all products, followed by the analysis of vulnerabilities affecting the products and the operating system found on typical end-users PCs."

DuoSRXon 3 years of computing... the palindrome quest

For those who like programming challenges, there is a interesting Project Euler problem about Palindromes (Lychrel Number).

DuoSRXon Why I wouldn’t use Symfony for a new project

Somehow the comments are more interesting than the article itself.
