Hi there I have just switched from using Mailman to Sendgrid to distribute the Perl Weekly. I hope this will improve the delivery rate. I was wondering what system should I use to maintain the list of registered people and got to the conclusion that, at least for the time being, I'll use a flat file and I'll manually maintain it. We'll see how that works. In other news, my son started his own start-up company. He and his partner are building a tool for private investors so instead of chasing data sources they can spend more of their time on the decision making process. It would be nice of you if you checked out their site called torto.ai. If would give a huge boost to them and would help them find investors if you also subscribed to their system. You could also use the code perlweeklyApr20 until 1st of May which gives 20% off. Enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo |

A global leader in machine intelligence matching job seekers with their perfect career: our client’s goal is human level parsing. They’re on the hunt for an NLP Engineer whose passion for NLP is matched only by their interest in Machine Intelligence and their ability to drive quality improvements, measurement standards, and error analysis processes for the NLP framework. |
|
Client is particularly keen on someone who knows Modern Perl, but’s also comfortable doing sysadmin tasks. It’s a small and engaged team, and a combination of both would be useful – bonus points if the sysadmin experience is on FreeBSD. They also use some interesting supporting technologies: Elixir, CouchDB, and RabbitMQ, and either experience or enthusiasm for those would go down well. |
|
Sure, you’ve got Perl chops for days, but that’s not all you can do — and that’s why our client wants to meet you. They’re looking for senior Perl developers, Node engineers, and those with mighty Python and SQL skills to lead their team. Cross-trained team members are their sweet spot, and whether you’re cross-trained yourself or are open to the possibility, this may be your perfect role. |
|
Our client is at the pinnacle of the premium native advertising game for corporate, tech, financial services, and lifestyle technology. This role is for a Senior Developer who is equally comfortable with Perl AND Python. |
