Second this. This article is written by somebody who clearly has not done bench science. Hacker spaces like Biocurious are cool for making things glow poorly in controlled conditions but lack the tools required for actual research or progress. Even with Science Exchange and Transcriptic, the cost of doing biology is still insanely high and the timescales are tediously long.
I would be surprised if ToroDB implemented the oplog which Meteor uses for efficient live-updating, but I guess it _should_ work with the polling mode.
SQL support (i.e. direct Postgres support) is on the Meteor roadmap for post-1.0.
It hasn't been tested, but as soon as the full Mongo protocol is supported, it should work exactly the same as Mongo does. Give it a try and let us know! :)
This is cool, but I'd be worried that it wouldn't line me up with enough of the right jobs. For that reason, I still prefer mightyspring for anonymous job searching. A big part of the problem is matching the right people with the right opportunities, and their algorithms are a lot more robust.
You are absolutely right in pointing out Mightyspring. They help especially when you focus on what you want to do. In Jobrupt's case, the focus is on 'with whom you want to work'. It may be your ex-boss or ex-employee, your ex-colleague, your classmate, your competitor, your customer, your service provider etc. Mightyspring definitely deserve their place, Jobrupt is just a different and additional type of job search tool. You don't need to choose one or another, you may use both.
Founder here. That's certainly our goal: to improve communication between employers and potential employees. The tools we primarily use today (resumes, traditional job descriptions) are pretty poor frameworks for communicating the finer points of 'fit'.
Not a comment about under the hood, but, BeautifulSoup's use of CamelCase in module names and the fact that it's a parser for the ugliest shit out there (HTML) makes me believe the code is more soup than beautiful.
