Rails Guy (or Gal) with a Design Eye - Anywhere - FetLife.com http://jobs.github.com/positions/7da6834c-b7a5-11df-80c9-c21...

Here is the dillio for those who don't want to click on the link. :)

------

About FetLife In a very short time, FetLife has become the world’s most popular social network for kinky people. With over 540,000 members and over 150 million monthly pageviews, we’re only getting bigger, and fast.

FetLife is run by a bunch of geeks who just want to make a difference in this world by writing sexy code and designing intuitive interfaces. We thrive on making stuff that people love using. And we’re looking for people just like us to join our family.

If you want to work on a site that hundreds of thousands of people use religiously, and work with peers who take enormous pride in their work, there is probably no better family to join.

And it’s true, anyone can talk to the talk. But, we walk the walk. We contribute to open source. We speak at conferences. That’s just how we roll.

* http://fetlife.com/fetlife/open_source_projects * http://fetlife.com/fetlife/presentations

The 411 We are looking for someone to sit between, and complement, both James Golick (@jamesgolick) and I (@johnbaku) on the team. Someone whose sole focus would be to constantly improve FetLife. Own the vision with us and help us take features and improvements from paper all the way to implementation. Then once deployed, iterate over them because nothing is good enough for you.

Mad skillz needed You need to possess the following mad skills to join the FetLife family as an Rails Guy (or Gal) with a Design Eye:

* Ruby on Rails craftsman. Design patterns are your bitch. * HTML/CSS Standardista. Microformats, amirite? * Test-Driven zealot. You dream in RSpec. * Speaks fluent ruby. kinkster.virgin? ? “hey John!” : “John is so jealous!” * JQuery is your friend. Who needs any other. * Manager of One. We want a leader, not a yes man.

Bonus Points Bonus points goes to anyone who groks the following and/or has experience with:

* Open source contributor. We live and breathe OSS. * HTML Design Skillz. Put John to shame. * System Administration. rm -rf /

Take Note We are looking to only work with the bomb-diggity. Our peer. Someone who learns from us as much as we learn from them. Someone we’ll be proud to say is part of our family and who will play a large role in pushing FetLife forward. If you are not this person, please consider another position.

I am your homey, what next? Email us at jointhefamily+github@fetlife.com and tell us about yourself. Please make sure to include links to some of your best work. Warning, that John guy has a really weird sense of humour.

Solved it, knowing an old math concept helped, did a Google search and got the values [writing the code to loop through the values for m,n was easier but felt someone must have computed them and posted on web]. Just wrote the code for cipher and used all possible characters and replaced using the encrypted value. Though I nearly sent it to the wrong address since it wasn't clear whether address contained the answer i…

Yeah, I used the old math concept too for the first part, but got the values for a,b,c by hand. Remembering that math trick definitely made it easier. Fun to do a little math again.

I have a truly marvelous demonstration of this proposition which this box is too small to contain.

;)

Seriously, though - I think I can solve this in Wolfram Alpha (at least up to the point of getting the key).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Less than 40 lines total for the subproblems, including white space. Less than an hour (if you don't count checking email in the middle). Would have been slightly faster if I had thought less and brute forced a bit more. A crazy old friend used to say "Don't underestimate brute force and ignorance"! :-)

I had about the same LoC for my ruby solution. Time was way longer because I had to read at least three wikipedia articles on various aspects of modulo arithmetic after I was so ashamed of my brute force solutions. Wonder if anyone tried frequency analysis since that should work well on an affine transform...

I thought about that inverse modulo thing too, and then I remembered what Falken said...

I hope yummyfajitas posts some of the answers.

C#/.NET Engineers - Milwaukee, USA My company is in the Milwaukee area and we have a significant need for strong C# .NET engineers. Telecommuting is not currently an option, but we offer some relo assistance on a case by case basis.

What company are you with? I live in Milwaukee and I'm not actively looking for a job right now, but I like to keep an eye on what kind of work is around.
