Barcelona local here. I don't think that you need Spanish fluency to get into most of the tech jobs. There are many startups whose founders or most of the team aren't locals.


Not the dev, but it seems like this app is using Android's internal audio Visualizer APIs and they require record audio permission even if just visualizing the audio played by the app. https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/audiof...


Huh, that's weird (and broken), thanks for the clarification.


To get FFT data , the device records a small portion of currently playing audio, analyses it, does some magic signals and systems stuff, and generates an array containing the FFT data. Thus the permission to Record Audio.


I also receive all sorts of spam hits on Google Analytics accounts. My suggestion is to create a filter that only includes the traffic directed to your hostname. It filters pretty much everything. But it's another problem in mobile apps tracking. I've yet to find a solution on mobile. Any suggestions?


SPA are indeed indexed in Google (and even without providing server side rendered versions). I guess it uses a combination of URL hash changes and pending requests.

I'm a Computer Science & Mathematics freshman looking for a summer internship. I especially interested in back-end and mobile development, but I’m open to other kinds of positions.

I started programming at 11, and since then I haven’t stopped learning new languages, tools, best practices, etc. I’m also passionate about data: everything related to, the so-called, big data, A/B testing, analytics…

I'm currently getting into Ember, Rust, and iOS/OS X development with Swift.


From what I've briefly seen, it just redirects you from the profile page to this URL: https://www.facebook.com/search/{{fbuid}}/photos-of

where, as you can guess, {{fbuid}} is the id of the user. And yeah, you can view photos from users that you aren't friends with despite that by looking directly at the profile you couldn't view them.


Out of curiosity, was your first internship in a bigco or a startup?


It was a relatively small consulting shop, I worked on some internal projects for them.

My next two were both big co.


Thanks! This was actually my motivation to build it, Bitcoin sometimes can be very volatile and within a short time its value can change substantially.

Currently I'm making use of the data provided by BitcoinAverage, because the market is shared between a few exchanges.

In the future I may implement custom alerts, but I don't see them as a very interesting feature. What I'm working on is on a system that actually detects itself when there's the chance of a substantial decrease in value.


Would you mind expanding on why you don't think they're an interesting feature?

I often keep track of bitcoin precisely because I'm thinking "if it ever drops to $500 or less than $500, I'll definitely buy". If the point of your app is to save people the trouble of constantly checking averages, it would be nice to set their minds at ease that if the price they're ever looking for comes up, they can react


I don't think this is just directed to IE users, they are probably doing their routinary A/B tests. I've also seen this darker color scheme in the past weeks even though I wasn't using neither Windows nor IE, it was Chrome.


You're probably right. IE is now showing the same color as Chrome like it was yesterday.


Haven't seen it at all while logged in, but sometimes incognito SERPs will have the washed out color.


You Can still use Code Search to search Google Code repos, Chromium and Android. http://code.google.com/codesearch
