wait what? you have to get drug tested??

there is, use Pycharm/IntelliJ

no, that's Sanskrit

Take a gander at the javascript/clojurescript synonyms cheatsheet, it's a lightweight way of seeing the mental transformations you need to do to get from a curly brace language to a s-expression based language: http://kanaka.github.io/clojurescript/web/synonym.html

while nominally the process in Germany is similar, if you do get a SIM from a touristy area, they don't really put you through the paperwork. I went into a store and brought a SIM card and they didn't even ask for an address, the shop assistant put his own store's address into the customer address field on the point of sale system.

In the UK there are vending machines at the airport.

I don't believe it's possible to grant them to a UK contractor in a tax-efficient manner

can't you map UNC paths to virtual local mount points? like \\server\blah\foo to C:\projects\foo

but what if excel didn't exist, and you were writing it today... would you invent something more like formula language or something like Forth?

that's awesome, looks like the Emacs of spreadsheets

I remember resolver one doing exactly this but the main problem was that it "wasn't Excel" http://www.resolversystems.com/products/resolver-one/power.p...

http://cljsfiddle.net/ goes a long way towards having a tool people can just play with to try out ClojureScript without being twarted by setting up Clojure/JVM/Lein/Lein-cljsbuild/

I thought USA had low taxes compared to Europe but wtf property taxes

isn't that what C# does with it's static dynamic type?

check out node-webkit, this is what lighttable is built on. https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit

I have an extract from the 57 startup lessons blog post ( http://www.defmacro.org/2013/07/23/startup-lessons.html ) on my wall: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0wl0f67y8rsq3af/StartupLessons.pdf

Great news for Lanyrd and Eventbrite, hope they can use the Lanyrd team to fix their horrendous platform! So much potential.

London, UK - Pitchup.com - Python Developers

===================================

We're looking for Python developers (one senior, one more junior) at our start-up in Chiswick, west London http://www.pitchup.com - we sell pitches at around 600 campsites in the UK, France and Ireland.

We receive around 60,000 visits per day, up 200% since last summer, and around 5,000 bookings per week. After celebrating our fourth birthday last Monday, we'll be expanding into new markets during the autumn/winter.

Our small team of developers work mainly in Python and Django, achieving multiple awards and great reviews for ease of use and speed http://www.reviewcentre.com/Travel-Agents/Pitchup-com-www-pi... Behind the scenes we've built some pretty nice features to help campsite owners manage their vacancies and encourage them to sign up.

Pitchup.com was cited at the recent W3C/ODI/OKF Open Data on the Web event http://www.w3.org/2013/04/odw/ : we're aiming to go beyond the typical travel site by integrating POIs like public transport, tourist attractions and pubs. We were also among the early users of Twitter's recently-launched product cards and autocomplete.

We're looking for a couple of people to work on things like payments, international expansion, testing and personalisation, mobile and geo (backend stack is Python / Django / Postgres / Celery / nginx / S3).

The business is profitable and was founded in 2009 by former lastminute.com staff with a background in the holiday park sector. We're regularly featured in the national press, and our lively, friendly team is based at the Barley Mow Centre off Chiswick High Road in west London.

Please drop me a line if you're interested in more information, or apply at http://www.pitchup.com/jobs .

Requirements

    * Expert in Python, with knowledge of at least one Python web framework (ideally Django)
    * Good PostgreSQL experience
    * Very strong JavaScript skills
    * Familiarity with Linux server environments
    * Willingness to undertake sysadmin work

Meteor's server side rendering is a hack that uses PhantomJS and is primarily for googlebot
