Containers and distributed systems – Pachyderm is looking for our first hire
Love Golang, Docker and distributed systems? Pachyderm might be the place for you!

pachyderm.io

github.com/pachyderm/pachyderm

What would data analytics infrastructure (namely Hadoop) look like if we rebuilt it from scratch today? We think it would be containerized, modular, and easy enough for a single person to use while still being scalable enough for a whole company. Tools like Docker and Kubernetes provide the perfect building blocks for us revolutionize data infrastructure!

Pachyderm's is looking for our first hire! We went through YC W15, raised a strong seed round(http://techcrunch.com/2015/06/10/pachyderm-raises-2-million-...), and are looking for someone to help lead our core engineering team. Pachyderm is just founders right now, so you'd be getting in right at the ground floor and have an enormous impact on the success and direction of the company as well as building the rest of the engineering team.

We pay competitive SF-level salaries along with significant equity, full benefits, and all the usual startup perks. This position is based in SF, but we offer full relocation assistance.

They still could let us choose, no?

You already have to choose between Java 7 and target only 4.4 onwards devices or use Java 6 to be able to target older devices.

They could have released Marshmallow with Java 8 support, so that in the same way one could choose to target 6.0 devices and newer or not.
You should just build it yourself as a passion project. You can probably use the launcher in the AOSP as a base.

It might be faster to just hard-code manually arranged home screens based on time of day rather than do machine learning.
Even people can't always produce human friendly proofs. There's Shinichi Mochizuki who might have proven the ABC conjecture but no one can confirm it because he created a whole method and set of techniques/theories that no one else really gets. This is a person creating a branch so dense that it's taken 3 years and we still haven't determined if it's wrong.

There's also the controversial Computer Assisted Proof. Which I think is a lesser version of completely computer generated proofs where there's the question of procedural errors and the difficulty of checking for them.

This will only help advertisers. If a large group of users click ads and bounce immediately it will be obvious they are using this service. Send them a fake ad, see it they click. If they do, don't count/charge for their clicks anymore. Now Google has effectively found everyone who don't convert with ads, and doesn't target them. This makes normal ads more targeted, increases conversions rates, increases ctrs, and lets Google charge advertiser more.
In a court case for hacking, Zappos tried to invoke their browse wrap ToS clause for arbitration, which the court struck down. It was unenforceable for these reasons:

• Zappos placed a link to its Terms of Use between the middle and bottom of each page, only visible if a user scrolls down.

• If the Zappos.com homepage is printed to hard copy, the link appears on page 3 of 4.

• The Terms of Use link was the same size, font, and color as most other non-significant links.

• The website did not direct a user to the Terms of Use when creating an account, logging into an existing account, or making a purchase.

This describes Terms of Use links for virtually all sites, even today. I'd say that this makes browse wrap very shaky, legally.

[2]: https://docs.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/nevada...

Personally, I find any site assuming that their terms of service is enforceable to be shaky because EULA law is also traditionally shaky.

That doesn't make you a fraud. That just means you have different interests. I personally thought this was mildly amusing. I'm not sure that the author intended much more than that either.

There's a pattern in your comment that is a little more troubling though. Did you mean to imply that you feel like you should be a "hacker"? If so, I'd question the intrinsic value of being a "hacker" as opposed to a generally curious person who has his own interests and disinterests.

Imho in this area there is really no general good solution: Either you use the leaky blocking IO abstraction over the async IO - and you will require multiple threads/tasks for doing anything more complicated and lots of complex synchronization. Or you use the async APIs directly and need to work with callbacks/promises/etc., but you can at least avoid synchronization.

I personally prefer the async solution, and I think async/await is a good solution to make async code a little more readable.

> If your employer can't even secure your basic info, maybe the relationship with the employer should be rethought?

Of course it should. Why on earth does my employer control my access to healthcare? Don't count on that system changing any time soon, though.
In places where they have implemented outcome tracking they give patients risk scores and adjust based on those scores - which in itself is tough (bias to give patients worse scores), but you have to start somewhere. I've had this discussion a few times and fundamentally I believe that transparency is better than the zero objective information we have now - currently we don't even know how many operations a surgeon does - let alone the outcomes!
> Free software is software that complies with a free software license.

Then most of Ubuntu, with the exception of the bits under copyleft licenses like the GPL that prevent Canonical from relicensing, is not Free Software, as Canonical have effectively placed another license over the top of it that makes it non-free.

(Note that while the FSF, Debian, and OSI definitions allow licenses to require renaming a product, mostly because of old TeX licenses, that doesn't mean they allow licenses to require extensive or functional changes of a non-specific nature throughout a codebase.)

I can't say for the privacy policy, but I used Clue for over a year without an account. Since I forgot to do a final export of the data before resetting my phone (I know, I know...), I subsequently lost all the locally stored data for the past few months. When I contacted Clue, they said their was no way to retrieve it. So my guess is that they are telling the truth re: nothing sent to the cloud unless you explicitly choose to.

I love NixOS because it lets me configure my whole computer with a configuration file that's a functional program and because it ensures the atomicity of configuration changes and software upgrades.

http://nixos.org/nixos/about.html

In my view, it really is a fundamental improvement and represents the state-of-the-art in OS distribution. Nix, the package manager, also works on other distributions and Mac, and operates in a totally self-contained way. It also lets non-root users install packages for themselves.

NixOS doesn't have a graphical installer or anything like that though, so at the moment it's for enthusiasts. But there are tons of packages and they are easy to make and change. And the community is friendly and smart.

I've been using it since spring 2015 with few problems, and I absolutely love it... it's basically made me like computers again. I run it on my Dell laptop and on an Amazon VPS, sharing parts of the configuration via Git so that all the vhosts are available on localhost too.

I also sync the main configuration file with my brother/cofounder so our laptops work the same aside from our own user configs. For example, he might create a new service that depends on some packages, changes some configs, opens a port, adds a new Unix user, etc etc, and when I pull his changes from git and run nixos-rebuild, all of those changes are applied to my computer seamlessly and atomically.
> The path that is normally recommended to the "developing countries" doesn't match the path that the industrial powers followed.

Yeah, well, would you rather we recommend Bangladesh adopt a US-like "path forward" including 150 years of chattel slavery, a bloody civil war that more than decimated the population, and nuking a rival world power at the end of a 4-year global conflict?
OK. So basically this is an Adobe Air-esque app that is a user interface to WordPress which at the moment only works on Mac.

I'm sorry but I don't really understand what the value proposition here is, maybe I missed it in the article? WordPress already has a pretty good user interface, which was build in HTML/CSS/Javascript.

When people complain about WordPress being an outdated architecture it's not the UI they're referring to..

Oh, the irony.

You're asking him to "grow a thicker skin" about close relatives bickering him (and the related social pressure), when you can't even hold from expressing your annoyance about mere ARTICLES that you don't have to read and can simply skip.
That's absolutely true, but I think the hesitancy about sending humans to Mars is that it is such a desert, and so the payoff will be quite limited to most people besides geologists. From the point of view of the general public, it's cool that its on another planet and we could do interesting science, but realistically it doesn't seem worth colonizing.

This is one reason that Europa excites the public imagination despite the hideous problems of distance and proximity to a gas giant - that moon appears to have a thick crust of ice covering a liquid ocean, and thus the prospect of life - possibly alien life, possibly a means of maintaining human life.

If we found evidence of life, even fairly primitive life, there would be plenty of money and public support to study it (though not without controversy). Rocks and canyons, not so much.

> You can also use JavaScript but you will lose a lot of performance that is very important on mobile.

I've used Appcelerator Titanium fairly extensively. The performance difference vs. native code is undiscernible. Unfortunately, JavaScript is an awful language to use, so there are tradeoffs. Maybe Titanium + TypeScript would be the sweet spot.
I think this was written just for you: http://xkcd.com/1605/
> I guess it's an obvious way to design it.

It's an obvious way to design it... if you start with explicitly declared properties in your language.

For JavaScript a state-of-art for a long time was more like this:

+-------+
| *---+-> hashtable for properties
+-------+
| |
~~~~~~~~~ various metadata (e.g. prototype chain)
~~~~~~~~~
| |
+-------+

all properties mixed together, all stored in a hash table, etc.

The non-obvious thing to design here is how you escape from the realm of hashtables into the realm of something both more compact and faster to work with (given certain statistical assumptions about the properties of the code).
> This raises an interesting paradox to me. How would the people writing the marketing copy for any product that was supposedly Superfish-resilient actually know that it was?

A big difference is that Dell's inclusion of the private key appears to be a (major) screwup by someone with technical responsibility[0], whereas Superfish was downright intentional and involved people all over the company.

In that light, this doesn't really appear to be a paradox - no company should ever market themselves as being immune to mistakes and/or breaches. But it's pretty straightforward to live up to promises that you won't intentionally compromise all security whatsoever just to make a few ad dollars (which is what Lenovo did).

[0] As far as I can tell, there's no evidence that Dell benefits in any way from shipping the private key, so I'm going to invoke Hanlon's razor until we discover otherwise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor

That's not what Canonical's policy says. What you described sounds like a perfectly sensible policy. However, Canonical's policy instead says you must remove all of Canonical's trademarks. Canonical's policy also does not limit itself to functioning under trademark law alone; as written, it functions under any mechanism Canonical has to add restrictions, which would include copyright law.
I'm not sure you're the "childfree" demographic, actually-- they tend to mention it to everyone they encounter surreptitiously, as though they are anti-reproduction rather than reproduction-apathetic. That's just my experience with them, though.
No, there aren't hard rules against it. Practically, however, it's not very useful to use a non-Windows OS depending on which team/product you're working with.

For instance, Macbooks are really common on some apps teams. In contrast, I work on the OS itself, so tools such as WinDBG and Hyper-V are essential to getting work done.

How to Charge for Your Open Source
Reading the article once I had no idea if it was a total replacement for the php codebase, or intended to work along side it.
Did you not read the article? The issues described here were one anecdote about one woman fighting to be allowed to have her tubes tied at 30 and another talking about the various cultural pressures involved by being a childless woman in Iran. It's obviously more systemic than someone's needling mother, and the fact that systemic pressure exists is interesting enough to write articles on.
Don't write so much code. Once you figure out what you're going to build, you can just throw everything away and make it again more properly.
So why do you feel differently now? I'm genuinely curious.
On the one hand, it's not reasonable to treat "blocking" as the problem that needs a law. Sanity-preservation aside, when ISPs can charge people through the nose for the amount of data being used, some form of blocking software IS REQUIRED. (If sites stop auto-running full-screen video ads with sound, or ISPs stop being complete thugs, then we can talk.)

On the other hand, to the extent that people are more willing to pay ad-blocking companies than the web sites that provide content, I think something needs to change. Ad-blocking companies seem to earn a lot of revenue, disproportionate to their value-add. Compared to all the complex products in the world trying to make a buck, the DOM analyzers and regex lists in ad-blockers are hardly ground-breaking things worthy of massive income. They benefit primarily from having a huge audience.

I've commented before[1] on how protocols might cage data use and scripting in a reasonable way.

I think creativity is more than just inference from limited data (which computers can do also). It has to do with either discovering a way to connect two or more seemingly unconnected things or discovering a new means by which to connect two or more things.

Mechanically churning through a pre-defined possibility space doesn't seem like a sure-fire way to produce either of these effects. Though it is, no doubt, a great way to generate proofs that were previously prohibitively expensive to produce.

Google had a mortgage-finding tool quite a few years back, but I think they killed it for legal reasons.

I wonder if these capabilities will come to the few of us who still prefer the command line or if we'll be forced to upgrade.

> There's another absurd misunderstanding of evolution in which the article manages to suggest that because evolution is necessarily continuous in the space of genomes, it thus must be continuous in the space of outcomes (i.e. language is so large a leap, it couldn't have evolved). I'm sure many creationists feel the same way about the eye

You're misunderstanding. It's not that it couldn't have evolved, it's that it couldn't have evolved so quickly and with no evidence of a mass extinction.

The eye had millions and millions of years to evolve, and there are examples of different stages of eye evolution throughout the animal kingdom. There is one confirmed example of a language-using species, and on an evolutionary timescale it got language basically instantaneously.

The implication is that language is a learned skill like agriculture, not a biological entity like the eye.
