Senior Python DevOps | https://UtilityAPI.com | Oakland, CA | REMOTE | Solar Job

=Company Description=

We are a white-label SaaS that is used by solar and energy efficiency companies to collect their customer's utility bill and usage data automatically. We write scripts that collect data from utilities, and these scripts can break unexpectedly when utilities change their interfaces, so being able to update them quickly is important. We recently got a large grant from the Department of Energy and closed a round of funding, so we have lots of runway. We are currently a team of six located downtown Oakland, and we are expanding rapidly.

=Job Description=

You will be helping test/maintain/monitor/optimize/scale the stack. Our current codebase is well organized, documented, and tested, and we will be adding compatibility for many new utilities over the next few years. We need to make sure our product stays top notch as we add utilities. You will have to visit Oakland periodically for all-hands meetings.

=Requirements=

* At least 6 years of Python stack and Linux devops experience

* Experienced with: AWS, django, celery, redis, postgres

* U.S. citizen or green card

=How To Apply=

Email me, Daniel Roesler, a cover letter and a PGP-encrypted pdf resume. Please include links to your github, bitbucket, or personal side project website (for reference, mine is daylightpirates.org).

=For Solar Skeptics=

In the last few years, the solar industry reached "grid parity", which means that the unsubsidized installed cost is now cheaper than buying power from the grid. That's why this industry is the fastest growing industry in the country. This isn't some subsidy-dependent industry anymore. We work hard and we make real money (while conveniently also saving the planet).

This is what really annoys me about not being able to block ads on Android. I am really hoping content blockers on iOS will convince Google to do it as well. 30 seconds of ads for an 8 second page is unacceptable. Not only that but the potential for malware with no protection is huge. Who knows what those ads are able to send back in tracking, or inject into the phone.

Is this a fork?
Macports never worked for me. I'm not sure if I'm not smart enough to make it work, but there was always something where updates would fail, or some package was broken.

Homebrew just worked, and when it breaks, brew doctor is typically spot-on in telling me how to fix it. I've never had the time to figure out why MacPorts gave me trouble.
What premise are you basing that induction on, and how are you excluding the theory that the appeals system just works well?

I think we can safely restrict our sampling to much less than the global population when discussing someone quitting their job in SV.
The problem is that www.victim.com/evil.js doesn't exist, and never did, but your browser won't know that if it is in it's cache -- this gives you a way of faking files existing on other servers at the URL of your choices, and as long as they are in the cache you'll get away with it.
You are being betrayed by your brain's powerful ability to find patterns that aren't there. In this case, it's ability to fudge anything that sounds like speech to fit into the boxes for phonemes that you are familiar with. This what makes getting a good accent in a foreign language hard: if you don't train yourself properly, you won't be able to hear the correct pronunciations, let alone reproduce them consistently.

The article addresses exactly this point, and acknowledges that plenty of other linguists already argued for it. The counter argument is "I fed this into a spectral analyzer, and there are no vowels on the spectrograph." Care to claim your ears are more accurate than the computer?
Peak oil kinda happened. All of the abundant easy to access oil is gone. We're gradually moving to other sources like offshore and fracking while using more technology in existing locations like pumping seawater into old wells to get more out of them.

Tech has done wonderful things to keep costs down, but it's a lot tougher to get that barrel of oil now days. I think there are, at least to some degree, costs being offset by increased risk. Deepwater horizon is a pretty obvious example. Groundwater contamination from fracking is another. I think the price per barrel has been on a steady downward trend, but I'd bet that including the environmental impact just from accessing (not burning) oil, we're paying more. I'm not aware of any such study.

In any case, we're the first, but also last technological civilization to use oil. If a wizard waved a magic wand, and we were suddenly sent back to a 1700's level of technology, i don't see how we'd be able to get much oil at all. It's not bubbling up out of the ground anywhere anymore. The easy stuff is gone. there's no way to get the hard stuff by hand.

Stasis Labs | Los Angeles | interns okay | onsite

Stasis Labs is hiring full or part-time interns and employees. We're a startup based out of Beverlywood building a medical hardware + software system for hospitals that will have a positive impact on people. We've raised funds and are currently raising a seed round, and these positions will be paid.

Our first product is a vital signs monitoring system for hospitals targeting non-critical patients. These are patients who, today, are not currently continuously monitored.

Our software stack consists of an embedded processor running C++ firmware in a medical device, an Android application for doctors and nurses, and a web application (node.js backend, React frontend) for doctors as well as patient's family members. We're using both Bluetooth Low Energy and wi-fi for communication with our device. Our cloud backend is an important part of our product.

We're a small team and are looking for people who can learn quickly and become competent in multiple parts of the project.

We are especially looking for someone with experience in dev-ops, server management, and web application deployment. Somebody who can help optimize our web deployment process, knows security best practices, and can write great full-stack JavaScript.

If you have C++, Android, or Node and React experience, please apply as well - we could use more help on all of these areas.

Please include an email or cover letter indicating what area of the product you'd like to work on.

To apply or learn more, email me at:

Go maps don't appear to be O(1)
I expect that Rust will actually be really good for the sort of things that Go is currently being used for on the web – i.e. services that don't have user interfaces.

The performance is better and I reckon it's much nicer to write. Unfortunately, the ecosystem isn't there yet.
I've historically been very skeptical of Rust in the web application tier, but I've been playing around with it lately. It's been nicer than I've expected.

One thing this blog post points out is Rust ecosystem docs. I've been trying to find a good way to evaluate this: https://users.rust-lang.org/t/lets-talk-about-ecosystem-docu...

Other thoughts:

Crates.io, our package server, uses Rust + Ember. One thing that is really interesting about Rust in this space is memory usage: last I heard, crates.io uses a flat ~30 MB of RAM, resident. I'm used to Rails where that is... very different.

On that note, I think "Rust serving JSON + Javascript for the frontend" is a really interesting stack. I've been trying to find the time (and hopefully roping another person or two in) to build a http://jsonapi.org/ library for this purpose. I have a project where I've been using it, but I went down the "why use a library, I can generate the JSON by hand" and it's.... ugly. Serde is so much nicer.

As always with a young ecosystem, we need more libraries. For everything. It's gotten a lot better, and much of the basics are there, but sometimes, you're still going to have to write things yourself, which slows things down.

mio is gaining preliminary Windows support, and once it does, hyper will roll it in, which should significantly improve performance in many web contexts, as well.

I largely come from Ruby, where Rails was such a leap forward that people learned Ruby just to use it. I expect that if you know Rust, writing application-tier Rust will be fine, but I'm not sure it will ever see the same kind of pattern.

LLamasoft, Inc - Ann Arbor, MI. On site, full time.

http://www.llamasoft.com/

http://llamasoft.theresumator.com/

LLamasoft is a large (~250 employees) quickly growing company in the world of Supply Chain Design and ETL. Headquartered in downtown Ann Arbor, this post is about the developer positions listed in the Resumator link above.

We are a .NET shop through and through, with applications built using ASP.NET MVC (for our SaaS offering) or WPF (for our high performance ETL tool or our flagship Supply Chain Design offering). The exception to .NET is our Simulation engine, which is C++.

A candidate applying for a role on the SaaS product, SupplyChainGuru.com, should be

* Strong with jQuery, JavaScript design patterns

* Familiar with ASP.NET MVC (understand routing, lifecycle management, authentication, authorization)

* Strong OO/AO skills and familiar with typical .NET tooling (Unity, Entity Framework, NuGet, Dapper, consuming WCF)

A candidate applying for a role on the desktop product should be similar, forsaking jQuery and ASP.NET MVC for WPF.

A candidate applying for work with our Simulation engine should understand the simulation domain quite well with tremendous skill in working with brownfield projects.

Overall people tend to thrive best in LLamasoft when they are happy to be autonomous and self-motivated; management in development takes a hands off approach. Teams generally work in whichever SCRUM fashion fits that group best.

It depends on how you design the contract.

You might have included a clause where you can release a member from the pool for a high one-time cost from each of the other members.

At the end of the day, you would undoubtedly be liable to pay in one form or another for a portion of those treatments, unless the friend felt bad and voluntarily left the insurance group.
