Load Impact - http://loadimpact.com - Stockholm, Sweden - ONSITE - Multiple developer positions

We build and run the world's most popular SaaS tool for web load testing (over one million executed load tests), and are looking for great developers to work in Stockholm. We need frontend (Ember.js) and backend (Python) developers to join a small but fast growing team developing the next-generation performance testing tools.

We take pride in being great at low-level networking stuff, at the same time as we try to put a lot of effort into UX and design when we build things (most people who are good at networking suck when it comes to building usable products, in our humble opinion!). Things our dev team uses include: Python, Django, Ember, Many AWS services, Fabric, Docker, PostgreSQL, Cassandra, Git & Github, C, Saltstack, Trello, CircleCI, Hipchat

If you're already in Stockholm and thinks this sounds interesting, or you'd like to find out what the city is like, why not check us out at https://loadimpact.com/careers ?
PS - my email is in my profile if you have any questions.
Perhaps they were relying on cross-selling purely on these products.

Yes.

> for example, those who earn more tend to express more fear and anger on Twitter.

That is to be expected. If you know your r/K selection theory, K individuals have larger-than-average amygdalae which is responsible for awareness, risk-assessment and consequentially fear.

K individuals in human beings are those who aren't promiscuous, marry early and have kids, and by consequence are infinitely less likely to be poor.

> Perceived optimists have a lower mean income.

This also makes sense, since r-individuals in human beings are more welcome to hope and change (optimism), and they tend to be less well-off financially since they switch their survival needs onto K-individuals (demanding help from them for paying their student loans, providing food stamps, etc).
We wrote a pretty in depth look at some of the key differences here: http://blog.tonicdev.com/2015/09/10/time-traveling-in-node.j... if you are interested in more detail.
A Google Analytics Dashboard for Front-End Developers
Consider a speech-to-structured-search-app in a limited domain, like a specialized siri/google now. For example something like a real estate search assistant with possible questions like: "what new 2 bedroom apartments have become available in Capitol Hill, Seattle this week?"

Perhaps naively, it seems a big part of the deducing meaning could be done doing ordinary dictionary lookups with terms like 'bedroom', 'apartments', "Capitol Hill", "seattle" etc.

Is this indeed naive, or is this 'dictionary lookup'-technique part of the bag of tricks used? If so, any good references to use this in combination with other techniques described here?

Highly interested in this topic, but looking for a nice introduction to get used to the terminology of the field.
Serving School Lunch Family Style
I've been increasingly disappointed over the past year or two.

Having been an Amazon customer since 1997 ( back when they still accepted cheques mailed-in for orders ) within the past couple of years they have fallen to my retailer-of-last-resort position.

Many of the items we used to order are now add-ons that don't even qualify for free delivery if bought in bulk.

Their website is now a constant hard-push for Prime. Products are pushed to secondary positions so that they can shove Prime banners in my face. I have to double-check every checkbox to make sure I'm not signing-up for a 'free' trial of Prime.

If they want to push Prime so hard, just switch to being a Prime-members-only site.

I'm not totally sure how exploding batteries and optional OS upgrades are driving you forward through planned obsolescence. I feel like maybe in your apparent "rage" you lost the logic thread of the point you actually wanted to make and conflated a few things into an incoherent rant.
"Fire sale" and "property prices are insanely high" seem like disjoint concepts to me...
Not AFAIK. I use my Chromecast all the time and unless there's something I don't know, Google never gets a cut of anything streamed through it.
ChatSecure | Berkeley, CA | East Bay or SF Preferred, Remote Negotiable | Contract Only (Interns OK)

Want to get paid to write free and open source privacy & security software?

ChatSecure is a free and open source encrypted messenger for iOS and Android that supports XMPP, OTR, Tor, SQLCipher, TLS certificate pinning, and more. We are NOT funded by VC, and instead have been grant funded since 2012 by the following awesome organizations: The Guardian Project, OpenITP, Rights Action Lab, and the Open Technology Fund. For more information see https://chatsecure.org

In the upcoming months we will be hiring mobile, frontend, and backend developers with some or all of the following qualifications:

* iOS: Objective-C, Swift, C, AutoLayout, Storyboards, CocoaPods, iPad, Cocoa, Mac UI, XCTest, an app in the App Store

* Android: Android 4.0 SDK and higher, Android NDK, Java, C, Android Studio, Gradle, JUnit, an app in the Play Store

* Frontend: HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap, Jekyll, Angular, React, Ember, your own website

* Backend: Python, Django, Ubuntu, Go, Rust, Docker, your own API

* General Programming: data structures, flow control, POSIX, standard stuff. Experience with Test Driven Development would be nice.

* Security: Some basic knowledge of cryptography is a must, but don't stress about the advanced stuff. You must have experience with modern secure / defensive coding practices, familiar with common vulnerabilites in native code, identifying potential areas of concern, surface area analysis, etc.

* Open Source contributions are highly recommended: individual projects, larger projects, pull requests, bug reports, QA, documentation, modular coding practices, semantic versioning, Travis-CI, GitHub, git. Know how to find the best existing open source libraries that solve a need. Be able to quickly assess a library's code quality and general maintenance health compared to similar projects. Know when to just rewrite it from scratch instead. Know how to properly publish your new open source library.

* Freelance Contrators Only: Sorry, there are currently no full time or permanent positions. If you're looking for that steady 9-5 you really should be looking somewhere else, because this ain't it. Fortunately Obamacare has made buying individual health insurance a lot better for us freelancers.

* Equal Opportunity: We do not discriminate based on race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, genetic information, reprisal, socioeconomic class, radical political beliefs, tattoos, hair color, clothing style, or otherwise.

* Berkeley, CA: East Bay or SF preferred. Remote may be negotiable though!

For people who might be a good match for this position, but would prefer full time employment (and can commute to San Francisco), check out moxie's Open Whisper Systems hiring post elsewhere in this thread. They are also hiring iOS, Android, and mobile UI designers.

If this seems like your jam.. awesome! Hit me up at chris@chatsecure.org with a subject like "ChatSecure iOS Job from HN", a link to your GitHub profile, and a short introduction. No recruiters.
After reading Bezos' biography a few weeks ago, this sounds like something that he would never, ever do. Amazon is the everything store. What's going on?
Put.io is such a good service it hurts - it usually takes 60 seconds to go from thinking about watching just about any movie to streaming it on your TV via chromecast. It kind of annoys me that I didn't think of setting something up that was similar.

.pizza, .beer, and even .horse all serve specific business sectors, at least. I've already seen Beer and Pizza places using the TLD for their primary (and sometimes only) URL.

Using a Custom Keyboard for CSS
Could you please elaborate why within Switzerland?
While that's true, you can get around it by just not having a store in your app at all. This is how Amazon's existing iOS Kindle app -- and Instant Video streaming app -- work, and (barring politics on Apple and Google's parts) there's absolutely no reason that they can't make apps for Apple TV and Chromecast that work the same way.

Apple's refusal to even allow links to external stores is petty and obnoxious, but Amazon is essentially playing the same game: if you won't let us play the way we want, we're going to make life difficult for our own customers while clutching our pearls and telling everyone that you made us do it.

Live SEO Course with Moz's Rand Fishkin
It's not measured for TV's or most other consumer devices at all for the rating which is dumb, the on power for TV's means nothing these are low power devices to begin with even a G rated TV will have maybe 200-250W power draw when on.

The Sony TV i have it's stated power on consumption is 227 Watts (rating A/A+ for big TV's it's very easy because the bigger the screen and more features they have the bigger the reference power consumption they are measured to is), when you turn everything on it's actually higher by about 20-30W but it's standby power is pretty much the same because it's tuner is on, it's wifi is on, all it's smart hub features are on etc.

The 2nd TV i have is a 42" LG Smart TV it's also rated A+ but it's standby power consumption is nothing on it's 50 off it's 0.3.

So the Sony costs me a relative fortune a year to maintain while the LG is costs me pretty much just as much as if it would be sitting in it's box in the closet.

@recruiters: please don't contact us, we're not interested.
How? Does git-lfs have a way of downloading and serving all of the files?

If it was fully integrated with git, you could do 'git fetch --all-objects-ever' and your repository could then be cloned and fetched from.
I think Rand is pretty awesome and the Platzi people did a great job on our GitLab course, looking forward to this starting in 8 minutes.
Yeah, it's becoming annoying. Batteries are more likely fake/offbrand than not, even when the ad claims otherwise, and last at best 3 months instead of 24 in my car's key fob. I got frustrated and eventually bought them at a local hardware store. Replacement chargers are chinese imitation shit. I've had an increasing number of purchases that don't match their descriptions. Amazon has been very good about it, and always refunds my money, but I'm still left without the plant mite spray or battery or whatever that I needed in the first place, so that only helps so much. I would have thought amazon would be working to get a handle on this but maybe their analytics tell them it doesn't matter.

This is the comment that most gets to the point. The blog post was about writing, not about giving Moleskine all of your money. The introductory and conclusive sections are independent of the tool one uses to keep records and logs, and those are the main points I wanted to get across. In hindsight, I have to admit the title I chose is misguiding.

The medium really should be one's own, very personal choice. In the article, I tried to justify my choice with the reasons that work _for me_. I've tried going digital many different times, but I like the directness of a notebook too much, and I tend to get distracted easily by flashy icons on the screen. A system is only as good as one's ability to use it.
You still need a ton of statistics and a big enough pool to make it reliable. Then you will need staff to handle applications, support and abuse ...

Apple patents the Smartring
They want to sell the Fire TV and Fire Stick because it will get you 1) used to talking to their remote, 2) hopefully get you searching and browsing around for all kinds of stuff - their selection is a fascinating mix of really new stuff and older stuff and b-movies, and it's often surprising what's covered by the prime subscription and what you have to pay extra for.

By getting you to spend more time in their interface, they can add things. E.g. Prime Music had me spending a lot of time checking out playlists, some of which may very well lead to purchases of albums where only a couple of songs are available for free.

It also gets them penetration for whenever they add shopping to these devices, and e.g. lets you talk to Echo and ask it to bring up the top five best new phones on your TV for you to choose fro.

Getting Prime on Chromecast would help their penetration of Prime, but it might hinder their overall service penetration by giving some people a reason not to get a Fire Stick. Especially when the Fire Stick/Fire TV and Chromecast are all cheap enough that there's little stopping people from getting both...

It may very well backfire for them, but there's all kinds of reasons for them to want to push the Fire TV devices hard.
I have to disagree. Typically, having a 3rd party CDN hosted library like jQuery change on you is most definetly un-expected behaviour and not desired.

The main purpose for CDN hosted scripts is allowing them to be cached in your browser, reducing latency via close edge servers and load times across website via caching.

This proposal prevents malicious changes, as well cache poisoning, which was a very scary threat up until this announcement due to attack vectors like the one described in this defcon talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLt_uqSCEUA

How do you even fix that? Do you have to update every compiler so it checks the generate machine code for that problematic sequence and insert some nop's, or is there a way to update the cpu itself?
I listened to a talk from David Rusenko a few months ago, and they have worked on creating a product that is easy to use from the start. It's amazing to see how far they have progressed as a company and how easy to use their products are. Creating a website is not an easy thing to do for many people, and I appreciate the attention to detail the Weebly team puts into their products to make them as intuitive as possible.

> I'm pretty sure in my country this will be forbidden by antitrust laws.

On the surface, perhaps.

However from the article, this is in response to seemingly anti-competitive practices by both Apple and Google's strategies regarding Amazon Prime on their TV devices.

Apple and Google are acting like walled gardens, and so Amazon is retaliating. My guess is Amazons desired outcome is Apple and Google support Amazon Prime video Apple TV and Chromecast.

Edit to add: this comment was pulled out of the ether. Disregard.
You can install the Amazon Video app on Android now via the Amazon app. No Chromecast, so I haven't really used it much, and it doesn't look like you can tell it to download shows onto your SD card instead of internal storage. I'm guessing I'll end up using it for limited times when I wouldn't have a TV anyway, like airplane trips.
Yes that's the only thing I could think of -- loss of privacy. (On the other hand, thanks to SNI, its easier than ever for a snooper to know which website you are visiting even if its completely on HTTPS; so the loss of privacy by switching to plain HTTP here is only incremental).
Elixir all the way. The earlier you get in on this wave, the better for you... although it may take a year before the offers start rolling in. Just find whatever work you can now in it or at least pick up the basics. It's fun!!
That's the amount of code in their repo which covers a lot more than web application servers.

This is an unnecessary tangent though, as I've said throughout this discussions, there's extreme cases and no doubt Google is likely one of them. But we're talking about common use case, to which I still haven't seen any evidences that GC pauses are a deliberating factor.
That's an interesting article.

The point you make about mindfulness is exactly what I wanted to express, just written in a much clearer way. Thanks for the comment!

so obviously Librato develops on the JVM, if you were to begin SuperChief today, now that Akka Steams is 1.0, would you have considered using it? Also, Apache Storm is true one-at-a-time streaming; is SuperChief same or micro-batch? And finally, did i read correctly that you are using Zookeeper but a separate library for leader election? Does this work w/ the z-nodes or in place of?
