Non-profit doesn't mean no profit. If your service can provide value to them, they should purchase the app. Treat people how you want to be treated. Somthing that this charity doesn't make clear to everyone that works for them I don't think a policy of trying to game the system is honorable or...charitable.


Damn I was 5 seconds away from doing a bEEf payload...


Figuring out the basic concepts they are familiar with might be a good start. If they have the capability to learn from other more experienced engineers.

Having the means to figure out what domain a challenge/problem is in would be another plus.

EDIT: Defining a Junior engineer might be a good place to start.


Yeah. We have three engineering folks: My cofounder, who has 8 years experience (and a CS PhD), myself, with 13 years experience, and one more with 16 years experience. We've all built significant projects outside of a job, we've all lead teams and been responsible for products, etc. So I guess that's fairly senior.

More junior would be folks with just a few years experience, or haven't built or led major projects. Even more junior would be right out of school.


The Elitists are Elite. Only a few of them, if you even suggest anything that is not inline with there views about HN You get ALL of them crashing down on you. It might be a small number but it seems those people are the quickest.

It would be nice if you had to make a little comment about why you downvoted?


It was about the dangers of vaccines. BTW Japan has stopped some vaccines because some children died. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/07/us-japan-vaccine-i... The article says their not sure it was the vaccine. But 3 of the 4 died the next day.


I haven't read the comment that was downvoted, but my understanding was that it was the brand of vaccine that was stopped, and not the vaccine itself. Anti-vaccine talk is not nearly as common in Japan as in North America.


Crtl and the '-' key together will help!


HN is floating for me. I've never seen it full screen?


He was probably looking at a data structure white papers/research. LFSR is good to use as a primary key for DB's./Linked lists(sequential numbers, no so great) I was working on an API along while ago using C.

I think this could be a mission for Redis and Node! Anyone want to hack together a little API/framework for LFSR Generation?


Any particular reason it needs to be an LFSR?

A question I posted on SO some time back may be of interest, it solves a similar problem using an LCG (generating a shuffled range of numbers with no repeats):

It's really simple to program in ASM or using ISE/Verilog. going to a low tech approach it can be done on graph paper.

No reason why it's specific..Simple, 'easy to port'. I was doing a little bit of research about a theory I had but when I figured out enough I never fully completed that little project.+2 years prior.


What sort of LRSRs are you looking for? And what language? I put together a LFSR generator as a test demo for a bit vector I homebrewed a while ago -

I'm going to use Javascript and Redis. I'm working on a few little projects to learn both systems a little bit better.


> Anyone want to hack together a little API/framework for LFSR Generation?

I'm kinda interested. But I'm opposed to blowing the balls off anything.


This is just the beginning. Apple is in the position of "Your going to take it, and your going to LOVE IT." What are you going to do? Not develop for iOS/OSX with Xcode? Bwahahaha. Don't forget apple is a large public corp. I don't think making less money is in the plans.

This is just a small part of the plan. Just wait until you have to be in a Apple approved facility, wearing apple approved developer uniforms to independently program anything for Apple.


Ahh, cynical sarcasm. What would a long list of comments be without you.


It would be so barren and lonely. Good ole Apple tax.

MOOOOOAAAR!!!


Jcasc - looking for learning java material?


Yes sir, deciding between Prototype or Jquery. Although I am rather uneducated regarding Javascript as a topic. Any reading you can suggest would help.


It seems you want to learn Javascript, not Java. Javascript is the language that can be used to manipulate objects on the browser. Prototype and Jquery are written in Javascript.


Yeah, ignore my Java comment. I would start out with just plain ole Javascript.


Sorry! Yes, Javascript.


Javascript. Java is something else.

Go jQuery though, in my opinion. It lets you do what you need to do without actually knowing javascript, in most cases.


I would like to know more.

I'm a server-stack guy looking for something to get into.


hey thank you for responding. email me at fffseek@gmail.com lets talk. we are based in rails hope thats fine.
