Not to hijack this thread. But a contract/consulting gigs ask hn similar to this would be great ! I am myself interested in Chicago area/telecommute and something server/Linux/perl/ruby related.

That is a great idea.

Yup, I just posted a Ask HN @ http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1661905 . Lets see how it goes ! Prolly the timing might be a bit off due to the labor day weekend ?

Are you sure that there is no misunderstanding - critical stuff in Haskell and other stuff in Erlang? Not a reverse pair? ^_^

Latency is the keyword there: "Latency critical".

That is what Erlang was designed for. ^_^

Memory latency is a performance bottleneck for Haskell code because the execution model uses a lot of memory indirections.

Developers - Newton (~Boston), USA (no telecommute, sorry) TripAdvisor is a super popular website in the Boston area -- we recently became the most-visited travel site on the web with over a million unique visitors per day. While we have huge traffic, happy users and are crazy profitable, we're not standing still: We just launched a cool Facebook Connect implementation lets you see where you friends have been and ask…

We're doing exactly what you're doing (check us out @ http://zuupy.com), minus the "we have tons of data on which to leverage" part. Launch that feature as a separate widget product, and we'll be direct competitors.

Great job on the feature, by the way. I've used it multiple times myself, so far so good.

Entry-Level Developer - King of Prussia (~Philadelphia) - No Telecommuting. ReminderMedia is a small company (~50 employees) that produces American Lifestyle magazine -- a marketing tool aimed at helping our customers build and maintain relationships with their clients. We're currently in the process of moving our account interface to Zend Framework and will begin doing the same with our CRM in the near future. New f…

Are you really finding it that hard to fill the position, or do you need more than one? Looking over your posts you mentioned looking for an entry-level dev about 300 days ago...

Curious whether this is an indication of scarcity of developers in the greater Philly area or not.

Sure: http://www.b-labs.com/cdocs/b_labs_job_position.txt This was for the experienced post, but for a hard working enthusiastic individual we can consider lesser experience. Also here's the project site: http://www.l4dev.org/

Thanks, I meet most of the required skills on your list. Is the best way to get in touch the email address in your HN profile?

Yes, please get in contact by email. I would be interested to hear about what you have done in the past and what interests you in this area.

Forward Internet group, London, UK (www.forward.co.uk)

We work on a number of exciting internet brands: Omio.com, GetInvisibleHand.com, uSwitch.co.uk, JustCages.co.uk, Gloport.com and our digital agency Forward3d.co.uk.

We're a fantastic company to work for: nice people, good salaries and the perks like taking the entire company to Disneyland, Las Vegas etc on regular basis. We grew from a 1 man band 6 years ago into a 130-strong, profitable company today with no investment and we're still growing.

We're looking for very smart, entrepreneurial people who take initiative, embrace risks and deliver good results. Most of the brands we're working on were born inside the company.

It's really a great place to be, so if this (http://www.forward.co.uk/careers) sounds good to you, let me know: evgeny.shadchnev@forward.co.uk

I solved the problem, but before doing the real work of updating my CV -- could you please write a little bit about the job, to avoid wasting time for us both? :-) (And I know, it is not really a waste to update your CV.) Edit: For instance, are Europeans and other aliens a possibility? Edit 2: Thanks. But I've probably forgotten too much math. :-( And you should get enough people anyway, sounds like a cool place.

How many people have solved it so far?

So far I've received 11 emails, but 4 were some variant of "nice puzzle, happy where I am right now, but I'll write to you next time I'm looking for work."

A few more were "I solved the puzzle, but tell me more before I bother to update my resume." Such people are certainly in the right ballpark - if you jump into a puzzle without even thinking about whether you want the prize, that's a win.

So you didn't solve it?

I can email the code, if you insist. :-) (I thought about what the job would mean and it's too long since I studied, I just don't have the math self confidence to go halfway around the planet for a job. To do the green card dance etc, I'd need to feel confident about job fit.) Edit: Too late, will sleep now. I'll try to remember and check this if you answer, when I wake up.

I understand. How long did it take you to solve it?
