Codility (https://codility.com/) | Warsaw, Poland | ONSITE | FULLTIME

We provide an online coding test engine for recruitment screening. Think programming contests/olympiads but much easier (or FizzBuzz but slightly harder). Some of our programming problems are also freely available for training (see https://codility.com/programmers).

We're a small company (about 10 programmers and 30 employees in total) with many ideas how to expand our product. For me, the most interesting part is that at our scale, any contribution you make is very visible, and that there are plenty of opportunities to try out something new. I have been working with Codility for 2.5 years now and it has been real fun to see the team grow, improve our skills and learn new things.

As for the technical details: we are built around Python, Django and Postgres (along with some low-level C, as well as Ruby in the infrastructure code). We practice code reviews, pair programming and continuous delivery.

We are currently looking for full-stack software engineers; as well as people with strong frontend experience. For details, see https://codility.com/jobs/, or just e-mail me at pawel@codility.com.

Do the cars have a "drive forward at all costs" programmed into them?

The very reasonable and very logical assumption for the program to make is simply stop the vehicle, or reverse course until it finds a path it can take forward again.

Why would a car take into account the amount of human lives? If something is going cause the car to collide with something else it will decide if it can avoid that obstacle and do so, either by swerving or stopping.
GetScale | Full Time | Full Stack or Backend Engineer (Clojure,Python,ClojureScript) | Redwood City, CA - ONSITE | http://getscale.com/

===

GetScale (YC S15) develops a simple system for drastically improving the quality performance
of Chinese factories and increasing their overall transparency.
We need to make a globally distributed system, with a slow and broken network (Chinese factories -> US and back), fast, reliable, and easy for our customers to interact with. There are interesting opportunities in delay tolerant networking, machine learning, and good old building out an early product.

What we use:

- Clojure (backend)
- ClojureScript (frontend with Reagent)
- Python (factory deployed system)
- Postgres

Our camera systems are deployed in Chinese factories and move
huge volumes of data daily (images, video, and metadata) to the US quickly and reliably, where it is interpreted and displayed to hardware companies.

18 Essential Entrepreneur Mantras
Logo design and typography are intended to affect you subconsciously, not consciously.

That tilted 'e' is meant to advertise the brand in the middle of dozens of other logos in the store, and draw consumers in from that myriad of choices based on psychological cues and associations they may not even be aware of. The effect is important in aggregate - some large number of potential customers conditioned over a lifetime of advertising to associate different typographic styles with emotional states and narratives being slightly more conducive to pick your beer over others than they otherwise might have been, because now it's 'nicer.'

MarketInvoice is the VC-backed peer-to-peer fintech platform that’s building the modern backbone of the economy.

Imagine you’re a young company who’s just won a major contract but your client wants to pay you on 90 day terms when you need to pay your staff and suppliers upfront. That’s where we step in. Our platform uses the peer-to-peer approach to provide the day-to-day operational financing for companies as varied as mobile development agencies, food brands and care homes.

We’re the largest startup in our space worldwide and already lending £25 million/month to small businesses and on track to double that within the next year.

It's a £100bn/year market which is dominated by legacy lenders and banks with complex processes and shady practices.

We’re bringing transparency and simplicity to the market.

--------------------

Drop me an email at i.ghory@marketinvoice.com if you're interested or just want to chat.

(Our team uses Python and NodeJS at the moment but we're open to people from different technology stacks; there are also other teams at the company using PHP & C#/.Net if that's what you're looking for.)

The problem as I understand it, and I think what smoyer was talking about, is that there are no other viable landing methods for the rocket than "feet" first.

Sufficient thrust is only available from the main engines, and those only point in one direction.

So if it starts to tilt off vertical then the rocket has no way to right itself after a point (and certainly no way to counteract gravity). Gravity + tall enough rocket + landing on side = boom (or crumple).

So "stick it or bust"?
I get "Forbidden" too.

update : after trying for a 10 min , I could dl it.
Oh yeah, they did build a running system. It was in similar status to the others (eg Dresden's TUDOS) when I made my recommendations. All needed work with QubesOS getting plenty from its dedicated team. Put enough work into something and it will certainly run: see Windows 3.1 on MS-DOS. ;) QubesOS is way better naturally but shows the point that "it runs" doesn't invalidate any design or security claim made about it. Nor is it an excuse for using a bad approach or failing to adapt. Reminds me of programmers with defective code that argue, "But mine ran faster!"

That said, it's usable enough that even I recommend it as an option when strong attackers aren't the opponents. If the attackers are, then it's unlikely to save you and work should be put into the inherently stronger options to get them in better shape. Plus, there's some commercial separation kernels that already run on desktops/laptops etc. one can use. They all use security-focused kernels, user-mode drivers, user-mode networking stacks w/ hardening, trusted boot, I/O MMU, and so on. Not cheap, though, plus a risk of subversion or someone cutting corners. Decisions, decisions. ;)

Truth be told, the whole market (proprietary + FOSS) sucks one way or another. Enemies are probably going to get in if it's a desktop due need to be compatible with much risky garbage. Only the console approaches can be made strong enough with FOSS components right now. Tough trade-offs in ease-of-use, too.

My current recommendation for defending against strong attackers is my old approach: several cheap, hardened machines for physical separation with KVM switch; a guard for sharing between them; sharing done over non-DMA, simple interfaces with simple, easy-to-parse protocols. Additionally, no wireless functionality (even disabled) in them at all. Worked before and still works for less than $1,000 but it ain't pretty or easy to setup.

"Genode provides a "framework" - and basically runs complete systems in separate windows."

Actually, it's a [barely-]usable system differentiated by a resource-management scheme, pluggable microkernels, minimal-TCB native apps, and/or running "complete systems in separate windows." Splitting between microkernel apps and VM's is a proven method that resisted NSA hackers in prior evaluations (eg XTS-400, INTEGRITY-178B). Part that really needs review for risks is their resource-management scheme. However, if proven, it will be advantageous in benefits it offers and especially if microkernel/microhypervisor is enhanced with INTEGRITY RTOS-style resource controls. Malicious apps mostly wouldn't be able to do shit unless there were hardware flaws or problems in the few, trusted components.

Meanwhile, QubesOS runs. So do my Linux LiveCD's and KVM boxes. Malware doesn't hit any of them because the best aren't trying: most targets use Windows or predictable Linux builds. We'll keep using such obfuscation until the [FOSS] strong stuff is ready.
It's even better than that. It can recognize landmarks. I can ask it "Show me pictures of myself in Paris" and it finds 25-year-old scans that I uploaded that haven't got any kind of geographic data in the EXIF.

This is already the case for the ones where such a quality is relevant. Enforcement is a separate duty from penning legislation, and so will come with its own discretions that may lead to situations where certain laws are enforced with a lower priority because of a lack of practicality.
Yep, agreed, and like you I tend to favor passphrases over passwords. I find a sentence related to something meaningful in my life to be more memorable than a single word, especially when it's munged up with obfuscating character subs.
As always with Go, they assume nothing that has happened in the last 3 decades is worth looking at, and retrofit their justifications for their choices to fit that. It's inherently a language that is 3 decades behind other modern languages. It's embarrassing.
You'll want to encode enforcement rules in the laws themselves. Fundamentally, our laws really aren't constraints on what you can do, but guidelines for what you can enforce. You need to take it a step further and write down what you will enforce.

Until you actually live surrounded by self-driving cars, your speculation is nothing more than that.

As someone who also commutes by bicycle, I would vastly prefer predictable, 100% consistent car behavior.
I was completely expecting 8 inch floppies or punch cards to show up once I was half way through reading.
Absolutely. What I think some stating that this is all "common sense" miss is that for many people it's NOT. All the advantages some have are advantages they believe that others have. Couldn't go to university because you had to work? Why didn't your parents help you? What? Nowhere to live? What about your old bedroom? You've supported yourself since you were a teenager? Where were your parents! No money left? Huh? No trust or college fund? Not even a savings account that your parents set up for you? What about your credit card? You're afraid to start a business / go into debt / try to "work your way" through college? Why, if you fail you can just move in with your family! Why not get some "friends and family" investors? The list of these tacit assumptions, and by extension that you're just a fool or lazy because you didn't do those things (supported ideologically in this country by all the Just World Fallacy nonsense) is far more widespread than one may think.

It's really amazing just how many people cannot even fathom that others do not have the familial safety net and have been working to support themselves from an age where said people were just starting to think about what school to go to. For many, until they've lived on the razor's edge, they simply do not have the mental framework for understanding what living that way does to people.

Edit: I'd also add that for those of us who have seen the other side (I was upper middle class from 0-9 years old, fell into poverty after and lived that way until my early 20s - riches to rags sucks. Badly. Read all about it here if you're curious: https://medium.com/@opirmusic/why-software-developers-should...) we know what the other side is like. We've seen it. We know what it's like to never worry about transportation, decent food, school supplies, books, tutors, spending money - and the ever-present implicit safety net. We saw our parents' friends go on vacations, buy multiple cars, live in huge houses, etc. So anyone, anyone who says it isn't a huge advantage is delusional or lying.
Can you go into some more detail about what you plan to work on?

The term "isomorphic" led me to assumptions that weren't accurate and "universal" is so general as to be meaningless. Calling it "shared JS" is a step in the right direction, imo. I'm actually a fan of "agnostic" as a short form of "environment agnostic," but I don't care enough about any of this to try and encourage one or the other. I think the whole debate about this is pretty silly, lately (especially in the React world) terms have been shifting so rapidly that it's tough to stay on top of them without hanging out in the right chatrooms.
> A tweaked logo won't affect Google's outcome one iota.

Ah, but it will. When you're a company like Google, with hundreds of millions of users a day, it's only a matter of time that something like an outdated logo will start to lose you customers. People make sub-conscious inferences about your product based on appearance. If you start looking like that thing everyone used to use, they'll start looking for alternatives.

Yes.

Not too long ago I had the opportunity to have a surgery performed by a robot controlled by a human surgeon. My wife was adamantly against it since there had been accidents previously with the robot other places in the world. Overall, the rate of incident was lower than the rate of incident for human surgeons, but to her that was not the important point.

There are people who will definitely hold machines to higher standards, and if they don't meet them, to them they are clearly inferior.
> ...like business moving away because their rent

Yeah, that happens in SF. Businesses can no longer afford the latest in a series of rent hikes, they close down, and get replaced with a bar or trendy coffee shop.

Serious question: Isn't the institution and retention of rabidly anti-development zoning laws government support of what one might call a "natural monopoly"?
Go is good, and yes, every language has serious flaws. I think what you really meant is Go is nothing special.
It's a nice language with nice syntax, but the ideas behind it aren't different.

The reason people like Rust is it is different. It's what people wished C++ could have been so many years ago.

With that said though, each of the languages have its place and uses. Sure many things can be done with both of them, but some things only Rust can do/will be able to do(many unstable things still). Both languages will be successful imo.

I can see Go and Rust being taught as the primary languages in the academic world and in the enterprise world. If I were starting out in school, I'd probably pick Go and Javascript.
The manufacturers of mobile phones creates CPUs and GPUs that are optimized to win benchmarks but if you rerun the tests over a longer time period the CPU/GPU will overheat and run into thermal throttle issues. Thus consumers are thinking they are buying a phone which is faster than what they really get in practise.

Then marketing wants new features to sell to consumers so you increase the core count which is one way of making the phone faster but at the same time you drain the battery a lot faster.
