Nooklyn - https://nooklyn.com/ - Brooklyn / Remote - Rails Developer or iOS (Objective-C) Developer - Contract

Nooklyn makes it easier for people to find apartments or roommates in Brooklyn.

I'm currently looking for a contractor (remote is fine, bonus points for living in/near Brooklyn, NY).

Right now Nooklyn.com is a one-person operation (me) with a couple contractors and I'm looking to grow the team of contractors and eventually hire someone full time.

Just email me at moiz@nooklyn.com


I use to write programs in HS for these things that helped me during math tests.


I would occasionally bury stuff in programs that shouldn't have been there. I was afraid that the teacher might look at my programs and if there was a functional program, would realize what I was doing, so I'd usually have a code language that I could easily decipher but wouldn't be easily figured out by someone else.

I probably gave my teachers too much credit, but the classes that could use calculators were usually taught by teachers who knew about programming the things.


Chances are, if you were able to program the algorithms required to solve the problems, you understood them well enough or more than enough to pass the course.


Yes but you can copy a program more easily than you can "copy" the knowledge behind it.

What happens when one kid writes a quadratic solver and gives it to half the class?


Definitely not the case for me. I had as many books and websites as I needed while creating those programs, but did not have them available during tests.


I am a developer today because I used to write little programs that helped me cheat in high school and college.


Couldn't find the code but here's some more info: http://mhackswinter2014.challengepost.com/submissions/20138-...


Learn to code. At least enough to prototype ideas.


That's why I suggested wireframing. You don't need to learn to code in order to design a site for someone else to code.

It's just like when Apple sold a plastic MacBook. This is not the end of Apple, nor any other hyperbole. This is Apple, doing as a large company does, diversifying their product offerings.


SEEKING WORK - NYC / Brooklyn area - Remote, travel negotiable

I'm a Developer / Designer and I usually work with my friend who is also a Developer.

We typically work on Rails projects (especially the ones we get to start from scratch). We also have worked on some iOS and Ember apps as well.

An example of our work:

http://nooklyn.com - We built this for a real estate company in Brooklyn. They've increased revenue each month since we launched the website.

Bullshit.

In Google's Q4 2012:

Amazing: 8

Strong: 10

Thrilled: 1

Focused: 9

Great: 32

China: 6

"Sad Words"

Disappoint: 0

Weak: 0

Bad: 2 (in context, they said, "not bad")

Fail: 0

The entire point of an earning call is to reassure the shareholders and raise the markets confidence in a companies' potential.

It would be very strange if a company spent the majority of their earnings calls pointing out their failures and avoiding talking about their success.


He specifically accounts for this by stating that Apple is and ought to be held to a higher standard because they were previously the overwhelming hegemon in the industry. I don't necessarily agree with him, but the fact that Google also uses exclusively positive languages does not by itself invalidate his point. What he is attempting to point out is that Apple, who is now ostensibly under siege and on the defensive (which, although probably true, is being overrepresented and exaggerated by the media) seems illegitimate and or disingenuous when they remain so overwhelmingly positive: the whole world "knows" that they're screwed and their language seems like a facade. Google and Samsung, on the other hand, are the new dominant companies and thus are justified in using such language.


Google is exactly "the overwhelming hegemon in the industry" that is "search".

If you think that's enough of a reason to constraint Apple, surely it should also be enough to constrain Google by the same logic.


Well said.

It also wasn't just TechCrunch who had articles about Mailbox. The Verge had 4 articles in less than a month.

Pretty much every tech news website had quite a few articles about Mailbox, as well as major blogs like Daring Fireball which have a huge readership of iPhone users.

It seems weird to me that this blog post attributes the entire success of Mailbox to TechCrunch, when really, Mailbox's success is because they created a simple and enjoyable email app.
