I haven't used Mina before, but by looking at its Github issues and pull requests, it seems like the project is not well maintained or supported. I would probably stick with using something else like Capistrano or Ansible.

I always get a little sad when off-planet progress is pitched as being about commercial opportunity. I think we have a lot to gain by focusing on people-oriented reasoning instead.

Another oddity I noticed while embedding GA today: the arguments to the IIFE are named i, s, o, g, r, a, and m

This post is originally from 2009. Was he correct in thinking that we'd see more portfolio entrepreneurs? A high-profile example might be Jack Dorsey.

Lots of mentions in here of the term "netsplit". I hadn't heard of it before, so here's some context: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit

I hadn't heard of this story prior to today, and was definitely sad to read it. Interesting that it's being posted now though it's from 2012.

Totally agree.

To the OP: I would recommend spending a decent amount of time developing "industry" connections with others that work with the same technology that you do. When you attend an event though, don't have the mindset of "I'm going to find a job", but rather something like "I'm going to meet smart people that I'd enjoy working with." Maybe try taking some small freelance work with some of the people you meet too. Anywho, good luck!

Could this be useful transfers arranged through a service like https://localbitcoins.com/ ??

I'm a bit familiar with the current events and business practices that bring vitriol against Elsevier. Not so much for academia.edu though and I've only heard of it a few other times as I'm not in academia. What causes you to feel negatively about it?

I think what the author might have meant regarding your quote above was that the unit Danny was a member of in the IDF was often responsible for diffusing/stopping/ending situations such as "assassinations and kidnappings"

It doesn't list jobs like a board, but fits the good/inspirational category: http://rework.jobs/talent

I started out by attending meetups and getting to know people locally where I was at while continuing to work on skills. Next, I started letting people know I was interested in freelance work and started taking small jobs. That eventually led to bigger and better things :)

Congrats on shipping! Have you considered adding your list of examples above to the README as well?

13/14 - HTML/CSS - Angelfire - This turned quickly into BASIC for TI graphing calculators. Wasn't until 17ish that I started learning VB, Java, and PHP. Now I focus mostly on Ruby & JS.

Programming was always fun for me because I could build useful things that people use. It was great to write helpful formula apps for the calculator and give them away to friends. Same went for helping people with simple web sites and eventually applications.

Here's an interesting thread from a bit ago that has some relevant information: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6681238

Specifically, you can find links to https://github.com/al3x/sovereign and https://github.com/darklajid/ansible-communication which are of the DIY type. Other projects are mentioned as well that are sponsored projects or WIPs.

This might be an interesting option for her if she hasn't seen it already: http://www.verbalizeit.com/

Based on knowing those other languages, my guess is that you won't have any problem with the actual programming. Rather, the challenge will be learning the APIs that Google exposes in Android for development. I don't have an particular learning resources to point you to, but I'd say do a search and dig in. Good luck!

Would switching to part time at finishing your degree while you freelance as well be an option? That might you allow you to try out lots of different types of CS/programming/development work in different industries and build some history and contacts while school is finishing up.

Did you start with vim on the command line? Or did you learn vim-style through Vintage Mode?

I don't have too much specific feedback, but I know one thing that has irked me in the past (and irked users of services I've worked on) is when the OAuth permissions requested are very broad. For example, why request "write" access to a resource if you don't need it? In other words, ask for the bare minimum permissions from the user that your app may require to function.

What stack are you developing in? Maybe there's a solution like https://github.com/intridea/omniauth available that you could utilize if applicable.

Hope that's helpful and good luck :)

What you've built looks great and I totally understand your rationale. It was just _scary_ to see that pop up. Did not think of the method described by @fjabre's comment and its children though (one of your sibling comments). Maybe that could be mentioned on the warning page in the Harp app after a denial from the initial Dropbox authorization too?

A wonderful chat service called Kato offers a very similar chat <=> github integration

I really, really would love to give this a try but am totally turned off by the requested "read and modify everything" Dropbox permissions. Although the Harp application does a really good job explaining the limitations of the Dropbox permissions API after a denial during the Dropbox authorization step, I'm still not comfortable. I hope it's true that OP is working with Dropbox to improve the situation as stated :)

Tumblr has a tool named Collins, which they refer to as a configuration management database (CMDB).

congrats on launching this! some thoughts and questions:

clickable: http://keybits.net/

* the main keybits-server repo doesn't link to keybits.net

* instead of the "first-run.yml" technique, what do you think about a separate repo with build scripts for a common base server with an ssh-able non-root user?

* how do you see tools like http://www.packer.io/ fitting into this type of workflow?
