Hey Everyone. Just wanted you guys to know that the company I work at, Thrive Bioscience, is looking for a front end developer. Mostly JavaScript, but since we are a startup, there are opportunities to contribute up and down the stack as well if you also know some python and/or C++. Here is the posting:

Also, we are still looking for someone who can specifically do embedded programming with C++

@rsmyth64 thought you might like this IoT board, jam-packed, http://www.zdnet.com/google-amp/article/matrix-creator-delivers-iot-ready-dev-board-for-raspberry-pi/

Hi everyone

Hey, welcome

Mr. R. Smyth

@teachelectracy_twitter

@abargnesi -- thanks for link to IoT board.... last conversation with development group involved putting Raspberry Pi's in local businesses and having them triggered by players/participants.... It looks like this board would make that whole process much easier!

Just added syntax checking in Vim w/ rubocop using https://github.com/w0rp/ale

ALE makes use of NeoVim and Vim 8 job control functions and timers to run linters on the contents of text buffers and return errors as text is changed in Vim. This allows for displaying warnings and errors in files being edited in Vim before files have been saved back to a filesystem.
In other words, this plugin allows you to lint while you type.

@lackita

Cool

John Nadeau

@johnnadeau

Inspired by you @lackita

I want to see how your setup works with emacs

lackita

@lackita

mine is probably less interesting, it uses an existing package: https://github.com/bbatsov/rubocop-emacs

it integrates with something called flycheck, which I already had setup

@johnnadeau ^

Great talk last night! I'm asking Marcel if he'll post his slides from the presentation for those who want some more information or couldn't make it.

I won't be able to make it Tuesday, but thought I'd share an interesting article on programming problems:

http://www.infoworld.com/article/3138572/application-development/the-7-most-vexing-problems-in-programming.html

I'm particularly annoyed that programs don't fail softly when resources run out. Moore's Law notwithstanding - we just demand more of our computers, so we're never really safe from running out of RAM or disk space or CPU cycles or bandwidth.

Dan Bechard

@dbechrd

@growland45 The more annoying thing is when developers throw up their hands, assume resource management is impossible, and move on to other problems without fixing their software. If the program is written properly, and in a language that makes it possible, it's not hard to manage resources properly. Out of disk space is not a problem, the program is still running fine. Out of memory can be avoided by not blindly abusing memory abstractions (garbage collected languages) to the point of contention. Out of CPU cycles should be something that is always happening, otherwise you're wasting money on a CPU that's not being utilized to it's full potential. Assuming it's not being utilized by something stuck in an infinite loop, every cycle means useful work is being done. If you want to do more work, then yeah, you need more CPUs.

@growland45 Cool article, btw.

@lackita

Just had an idea for a meetup, "How to make ethernet cables"

Any interest?

Tony Bargnesi

@abargnesi

Sounds intriguing. I've done cat5 wiring before (crimping, patch panel, etc), but never this. I'm interested.

lackita

@lackita

ok, that's actually all I meant, what did you think I meant?

Tony Bargnesi

@abargnesi

i thought you meant stringing the ethernet wires

either way i'm interested, i would like to no more about ethernet pinouts

lackita

@lackita

ah, I might be able to figure that out, although no experience going that far

Tony Bargnesi

@abargnesi

sounds cool, I actually need to do this in my house now, so it might motivate me!

John Nadeau

@johnnadeau

@abargnesi don't know if you're aware of this vim command: C-w o focus a single window (close others)

lackita

@lackita

Ah, you mean C-x 1 in emacs

John Nadeau

@johnnadeau

Lol

lackita

@lackita

and yes, I had that memorized

Tony Bargnesi

@abargnesi

hey @lackita do you want to present on the Dec. 7 meetup?

I remember you had a couple ideas brewing.

lackita

@lackita

@abargnesi Yeah, I think I could have something prepared. I'll try to have a PR up on the github repo by the middle of next week on what I'm thinking of.

Tony Bargnesi

@abargnesi

Awesome! Thanks.

John Nadeau

@johnnadeau

@lackita we want to announce the December 7th meetup before/around Thanksgiving, can you confirm you'll be ready to do the talk?
