FinFolio | Greenwood Village, CO (Denver) | C#/SQL Developer | onsite, full-time

FinFolio is a stable startup in the Denver Tech Center; we make portfolio management software for investment advisors and professional wealth managers. Our software ends up being the hub of an advisor's back office, pulling information from different data sources, consolidating it, and pushing it out to a REST API, web widgets, reports and trading engines.

Our small development team is growing and we are looking for C#/SQL developers at all experience levels. I am the founder, with a coding background myself, a serial entrepreneur in this space with a couple other successful startups under my belt.

If you would like to apply or just hear more, email me at mattabar at finfolio dot com. Thx.
I think you're missing the point that no important biological sequence problems are CPU-bound, they're IO-bound. Further, throughput in bio problems tends to be embarassingly parallel- so Intel putting more cores into chips with NUMA memory is a huge win. Next, when Intel puts more cores in a cheap, everybody's bio codes, which are embarassingly parallel, run faster because you just added more embarassingly parallel capacity. Nobody had to rewrite codes- in the GPU area, you have to rewrite codes every 2 years to compete with Intel throughput.

Moore's law is irrelevant here. It's about the total cost of doing science, and moving sequence analysis to GPUs hasn't really decreased the cost significantly. Note the first paper you linked to is from 2007- neither CPU nor GPU from that time period is relevant today. All the links I see for "GPU HMMER" point to a few marketing pages on the Nvidia site.

Whether BLAST is 10X faster on GPUs (its not) is irrelevant. It's that there aren't interesting problems to be solved by speeding up these kinds of calcuations in terms of single problem latency- what matters is throughput- aligning billions of reads in a short time- and those problems tend to be disk IO bound, not CPU bound.

I have no problem using GPUs- those are relatively easy to program now and we've raised a generation of grad students who can write codes to those platforms. They've proved their way.

It's ASIC and FPGAs which aren't competitive in this area.
Tachyus - San Mateo, CA - several open positions

We are revolutionizing the oil and gas industry, well funded, and (most importantly) producing significant revenue. This is the opportunity for the right people to align with us and share in ownership. We are a focused science and engineering driven team working with real physical devices and processes measuring and analzing the natural world. We take our Values statement seriously, so read it first and decide. http://tachyus.com/joinus/

Software Engineers - F#, Python, Typescript, UI

Expressive, declarative code is more frequently correct code. The core of our software platform is built with F#, a functional-first, strongly-typed compiled language. We seek engineers who are excited to do full-stack, product-driven thinking.

Our core physics and data science algorithms are written in Python and bridge the gap between pure research code and production-quality algorithms.

Web Engineers (you know who you are) we use Typescript on the front-end, and F# for our API layer. We recently open-source Gluon http://www.tachyus.com/gluon/tutorial.html. Regardless of language experience, the ideal candidate has strong experience implementing web applications which are correct, attractive, performant, and maintainable.

Just for contrast, our local card store has 8 tables available for whatever. They also have Magic tournaments, MechWarrior tables, a variety of things. They make their money selling - you guessed it, card games. The other half of the store is aisles of boxed games, old and new.

The tables get busy every evening of the week, after folks get out of school/off work. The age range is teens through 30-somethings.

Well, let's just say that I speak for my own 10+ years co-running Matasano, plus Patrick (my current cofounder), plus everyone I know personally who has run a contracting firm, including a few besides Patrick that also had nosebleed rates.

Generally, unless you have a team, if you're finding that you can multiply your hourly rate by 2000 and get within shouting distance of your annual gross, that means you're not charging enough.

There are a lot of good things that come from jacking your rates up, beyond just being able to make the same amount of money while doing far less work.

Just because you don't like the argument doesn't mean it's "tired." It's absolutely true. I block every ad, I will continue to do so, and should content go behind a paywall, I will simply not view it.

That sounds cool, but I wonder if there would be a problem if the repo hit anything close to a critical mass where several people were editing forked repos at once and submitting pull requests. I imagine it would be pretty frustrating to go through the process and make some changes only to find out that your original revision is now too outdated for the bot to merge.
I have a pycharm license, eventually got a rubymine license when I started working on ruby as well. Lately, I've been using Sublime because it's been annoying me having to spin up a completely different IDE to get some code in another language done. I regret not just paying the $199 for IntelliJ. FWIW; I'm an infrastructure engineer and deal with a pretty wide variety of languages, my daily use case could likely be less common for most developers.

I'd happily pay $10-20/mo or something for full blown Intellij. Not sure why they haven't changed their model.

The plugins for IntelliJ usually wind up a few weeks to months behind, so that's another big reason that I bought the individual language apps.

San Francisco (Remote okay) | full-time | http://mocobe.co | Front end developer and designer

After working for five years at Palantir, I decided to leave to work on a project that I think will make a huge social impact as well as an incredibly viable business model: delivering drug and alcohol abuse therapy to those who need it most. The vast majority of substance abuse sufferers receive treatments that are not scientifically validated. Mocobe will take the latest scientific research and use it to deliver treatment on the web and by mobile device, to bring low cost, high effectiveness treatment into hospitals, prisons, schools, and the courts. We have seed funding, a CTO, free co-working space from Homebrew, and a scientific advisory board. All we need is you: One more talented front-end dev, ideally with experience in React and Meteor, and a designer. Get in on the ground floor in a business that will make you want to get up in the morning to help someone. Contact us at info@mocobe.co. And read our whitepaper here: http://mocobe.co/whitepaper.html

Laying out embedded GUIs
A microwave does have some effectiveness as a Faraday cage, but it's not complete. I worked for a couple companies doing mobile games, and one of the certification tests during the 3G era was to make sure the app performed gracefully when the signal was lost. Putting the phone in a microwave was the first thing we thought of, but it didn't work well to cut the signal. We tried a couple different microwave ovens. Sometimes it worked if we put the phone in a ziplock bag and immersed it in salt water, then put it in the microwave.

This is a half truth at best. Audio recognition can be based on one of two techniques. The first is audio watermarking which is completely client side (albeit not applicable for this FB feature) or fingerprinting. They'll likely use the latter which records a segment of audio, does the rough audio equivalent of a hash on it and then send it the server for an optimised pattern match. It's somewhat unlikely they'll send raw audio to their servers although that's an assumption.

I'm distrustful too. Actually, the litmus test I use for cloud companies is: is the data in practice mine or theirs? In case of sensors - can I grab the data log for myself? Export it to CSV, or at least an Excel file? If they offer a helpful "analytics" platform, do I get to upload the data I previously exported? Do I get to export the results of the analysis?

If the answer to some of those questions is "yes", then I can believe the company wants to provide me value. Otherwise it's a clear signal they just care about extracting value from me. Most of the cloud startups fail this test, therefore I refuse to use (or even get interested in using) their "service".

Notably, the one company I end up using for everything cloud-related is Dropbox. No surprise there - they simply built "a folder that syncs".
This is correct. I would be happy with the web I was using in 1995, to be honest. Most of the non-corporate content was produced by people who did so simply for the chance to talk about their passion and have an audience. I could care less if Sally can make a living off of her blog or not.
Sweet, I'm building an app that sorta does this as a side effect. The idea for that app wasn't so scientifically based, but this is some pretty cool supporting information.

I think there's still a lot of opportunity left around making personal progress monitoring more effective.

I'm using Khan to learn math right now, and what's even better than being able to scrub the video is being able to do exercises that only call instructional material when I'm failing the exercises, and that only call it in stages ("hints") until I can work out for myself what I'm doing. When I require all available hints, which basically gives you the answer to your exercise, I know I need to go back to the instructional material.
Don't the equivalent IntelliJ plug-in updates land only a good while after the individual products get the new features?
> In this context, you would not only reach your destination, you would be both annihilated and preserved (kinda like Schrödinger's feline friend).

Is this a meaningful comparison? How I read the preceding bit, the way in which you're both annihilated and preserved is simply that you die but the information required to reconstruct you remains.

That's not at all like the way in which Shrödinger's cat is both alive and dead, which doesn't really have anything to do with death.
The following answer[1] was 2012 but I think it's still applicable. Basically, the plugins to IDEA are always a few months behind the dedicated products (Webstorm, Pycharm, Rubymine, etc). If you always want the bleeding edge latest & greatest, the plugins may not meet your needs.

Liquid meaning, has the company sold or gone public, or is there some internal market available today that will put a cash value on them?

When did this equity compensation deal start? The most important feature of employee options vesting is the cliff; your deal was something like "if I'm still consulting for you 12 months from the start of our first statement of work, I get 1/4 of the promised options"?

How does tax treatment of those options work? Most of the reason that employees are put into a crunch period after they leave where they have to spend real money on shares is that US tax law requires employee options to expire within some number of days after the employee relationship terminates. But you're not an employee at all; how can you have employee stock options?
While you can do most things in IntelliJ, they are often a step or two removed. It is often much nicer to just use the language specific IDE except for times when you need to be going cross-language in a project.
