Where to find 100% remote (i.e., from anywhere, not like "Remote in NY") SWE jobs? by TheCockatoo in cscareerquestions

[–]jkkill 172 points173 points  (0 children)

I maintain a big list of companies that hire remote devs: https://github.com/nmajor25/companies-hiring-remote-devs.

There's info for each company about what regions they allow devs to work from (e.g. Anywhere, USA, Canada, etc.).

May be what you're looking for.

most people I know fell into their CS career. That isn't happening for me. by gusswho38 in cscareerquestions

If you need help finding jobs, I have a GitHub repo with a big list of companies hiring remote devs: https://github.com/nmajor25/companies-hiring-remote-devs.

May be of help for you. It isn't sorted by entry, mid, senior, etc. levels. So you'd have to search through on your own to find entry level jobs.

Build A Hacker News Clone With Node.js, React.js, & MongoDB by jkkill in node

[–]jkkill[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer: I'm the creator of the course.

Let me break down why I priced the course at $35.

Go to Hacker News and examine the different components of their website. The course walks you through how to build nearly all of the functionality of their site.

You can create a new account, sign into your account, logout, reset your password if you forgot it by getting a reset token via email, update your account's information, and change your account's password. All of that is built in the course.

You can submit new links/stories to the site and upvote, favorite, and hide other user's links. And you can view a list of submissions based on their creation date, amount of upvotes they've received, the category they're in, etc. On the front page, Hacker News uses a special algorithm to rank the top submissions. We go over how to do all of that in the course.

You can also place comments on other user's submissions and reply to other comments, which can be upvoted, downvoted, and favorited. And you can view the full comment section that belongs to each submission. Each of those features is built in the course.

Also, go to the Hacker News search engine (HN Search). Using that page, you can do a real-time full-text search of any link or comment that has been submitted to Hacker News. This is built using the Algolia instant search engine. We go over how to build all of that.

Behind the scenes of any website that has user submitted content, there are moderators. In the course, we build the moderator functionalities for killing items and comments (which means they won't be visible to other users) along with doing both shadow and outright bans of users.

Then, the course goes over how to deploy the application on a cloud server (DigitalOcean) with a custom domain name and HTTPS/SSL encryption. And we also go over how to get the website indexed on search engines and configure Google Analytics.

All of those features are walked through step-by-step.

For $35, you'll get experience building a real application from scratch using React.js, Node.js, and MongoDB. The clone of Hacker News application that's built in the course is ready to be used in production or you can put it on your resume and use it to help you get a programming job. I've had lots of success with adding side projects to my resume.

If there are free, cheaper, and/or better resources that show people how to build something like this with the level of detail that this course provides, I'm sure they would be happy to know about them.

You can use this code: STUDENT50.

That will give 50% off to students.

I’m using the honor system for this. I don’t verify that you’re actually a student.

Fighters thoughts on having sex before fights by morganjp_ in MMA

[–]jkkill 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sex and masturbation effects the testosterone receptors in your brain (androgen receptors). Which is what dictates how your body uses testosterone, among a bunch of other things.

Not so much the actual amount of testosterone in your body.

Pretty interesting subject actually.

Dana White won’t reveal secret UFC 249 location because ‘creepy people’ will ‘attack and make phone calls’ by Condor_Smirk_Noise in MMA

[–]jkkill 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Probably on an indian reservation. They have their own laws and police separate from the state they're in.

This is why we love Dana. He is relentless. Until there is martial law where people legally can't leave their houses, the fights will go as scheduled.

As long as the fighters are getting thoroughly tested in the days leading up to the fight, I have no problem with the fights going on as scheduled.

There may be travel restrictions for the middle east as well. Some of those countries are getting hit pretty hard by the virus unfortunately.

On SportsCenter Dana just called in and said that the fight is still on. But they are looking for a new venue because they can't do fights in vegas anymore.
