Greenhouse [http://www.greenhouse.io/careers] | New York, NY & San Francisco, CA | Full-time | Onsite

Greenhouse is transforming the way companies hire. Since its inception in 2012, Greenhouse has doubled in size every six months and we’ve now grown to more than 180 employees. We’ve grown our customer base by 500% in the last year alone and also raised $65+MM from top VC firms to help fuel our hyper-growth.

We've devoted this year to scaling our business, driving product innovation, and growing market share. Engineering has been, and will continue to be, a huge part of Greenhouse's success. This team releases features multiple times per week and empowers engineers to have a direct impact on our business. And we're hiring!

Here's a glimpse at who we want to hire:
Full Stack Software Engineers (New York): you'll own entire features and work on product development using Ruby on Rails and Javascript with Angular & React. There's a number of scaling challenges that go along with the role, including the parallelization of large transactions with Spark/MapReduce. To apply: http://grnh.se/sp2kio

Engineering Lead, Customer Solutions (New York): this role will run the Customer Solutions engineering team-- you'll use both sides of your brain every day, whether it's chatting with customers, running systems architecture meetings, writing code hands-on, or helping to grow your team. To apply: http://grnh.se/x7dgj3

Technical Lead, Product Engineering (New York): Similar to the above tech lead position, but working with a team of full-stack engineers as opposed to Solutions engineers, and focusing more on supporting the product as opposed to our customers. To apply: http://grnh.se/qlxep7

Barring deliberate cost saving measures, consider something like electricity costs. Your electric use is probably pretty consistent whether the price is $0.10 or $0.15 per kWh (ok, perhaps not yours, but average across the economy). Depending on your environment and what you do, you have to run your fridge, you have to run your AC/heat, you have to turn on lights, you have to manufacture your goods (if you're a business and want to stay in business). The same (roughly) amount of electricity will be used regardless of the cost.

If electricity suddenly drops in cost by 50%, then money you expected to spend on electricity is now being left in your accounts. There's been no actual shift, but the expected movement of money has been altered.
Do you count a stable climate as wealth? If prices continue to ignore that cost and demand increases then that's a massive destruction of wealth.
This seems bizarre to me. Why would you have any expectation of privacy walking down a public street?
Putting words in someone else's mouth is a tactic commonly used by those who can only formulate stupid statements. Of course I care about things that increase or decrease injury rates. That's why I would like to encourage safer behavior. You should haved added "debunked" to your snarky citation, and you might have found this.

Also, as I said, if people are tailgating then that's a separate problem that can also be addressed by this technology. It's insane to say that we shouldn't discourage one dangerous behavior because of some other equally-addressable dangerous behavior. People respond to the knowledge that they're more likely to be caught when they do something wrong or stupid. An actual police officer issuing citations for exactly these offenses is effective, but costly. Having the information about frequency of offense at different locations allows those scarce resources to be allocated to greatest effect. What's your problem with that?
I tried the example from wikipedia on Google Maps, but it did not work. Surprised me, I expected that it would.

Yup. This has the potential to turn into a deflationary spiral.
Clojure has evolved so fast that not a single Clojure book in publication today covers the some of most significant developments in Clojure , namely reducers and transducers. I thought I was no longer a clojure newbie -- but with transducers, I have that awful noobie feeling again.
I'm sure that some of the treatment cost involved the doctor's time as well. And unless single-payer means that patient's sign away their ability to make liability claims, that is also a huge part of any anesthetic-like procedure cost.
To be correct, in the 1970s you could cross the Channel by SR.N4s operated by either British Rail or its private-sector rival Hoverlloyd. They merged in 1981.

Anyway the story of these two remaining hovercraft is sad and the hype-headlines about 'evil housing developers' with their wrecking-balls doesn't help address a problem which is widespread in the UK museum community: neglect of large exhibits until an emergency arises.

The Hovercraft Museum ( it's more like a hovercraft graveyard, I've been there ) has notionally had them in their care since 2004 but in that time hasn't moved them to land it actually owns. They've been camped-out on someone else's land ( marked for housing development ), and the owner of the hovercraft hasn't been paying rent, and the Museum hasn't contributed to the rent either despite using the SR.N4s as their central attraction. Hence they have now been taken as payment for back-rent. Fair dues.

Therefore I don't particularly feel that the Hovercraft Museum is the best trustee for the future but they've left everything to the last minute and positioned themselves as the de facto saviours.

Headlines and petitions never tell the full story.

That's not a bug, it's a feature. Japan enjoys the advantages of having a civilized, educated, homogeneous, high trust society, and they're not willing to abandon that in exchange of what, low skilled workers they don't need and ethnic conflict?
This exists in many non-Google/Apple smartphone navigation apps. HERE maps (formerly Nokia HERE maps) has it with configurable over-speed limits (in addition to its freely downloadable offline maps, with points of interest). The HUD aspect is a bit more difficult to muster at the moment.

"A look at the underlying accounting, however, suggests that, far from underperforming, Japan may have outperformed. For a start, in a little noticed change, United States statisticians in the 1980s embarked on an increasingly aggressive use of the so-called hedonic method of adjusting for inflation, an approach that in the view of many experts artificially boosts a nation’s apparent growth rate.

I interviewed a referral once, this kid had written a couple of trivial android apps in notepad, which was something at least. But when I drilled down he really didn't understand anything he was doing with respect to the build (ie didn't know what the classpath was), didn't know anything about basic collections, didn't know tools like eclipse, version control. He claimed to be eager to learn, but no one has a full time dev to spare teaching anyone intro classes on this stuff.

So, from my perspective, if he would have known the tools, basic concepts, and had taught himself more, he would have been a hire. Otherwise, he just wasn't self starting, and really wasn't eager to learn, or he would have come with more ability.
There haven't really been many people posting jobs, it's been >95% jobseekers for the past several months, so that's probably why.

Can you talk about some of the pros and cons you've found compared to EverNote?

I use EverNote a lot, and have dozens of quick programming notes. The MarkDown syntax support here is very nice, but I don't think that alone is going to be enough to make me switch.

One wonders, when oil prices went through the roof, we got all these extra fuel surcharges on things like airline tickets.

Now that we are back to near $30/barrel, those charges are still there.
Are you seriously comparing animals killing and eating other animals for food with what we do to animals and birds in slaughterhouses? Have you watched videos of slaughterhouses? Have you seen how fur is plucked off rabbits for angora, and feathers off birds for down jackets? In almost all cases, the skin also comes off and they are not even killed after the act but mercilessly left to die on their own. Almost everyone, even if they choose to ignore it, acknowledges the cruelty in the meat and farming industry.

Japan is the future of us all, and it needs to transition to steady state economy where the interest rate pays back in technology and efficiency, not Yen. To be so rich, yet so poor because of how economies are structured is ridiculous.
Count me in as a "nitpicking busybody", though I'd hardly equate dog walking offenses with the kind of damage a speeding driver in a residential neighborhood can cause.

Speeding in a subdivision is annoying to those who live in the subdivision -- it adds to the noise and makes it a pain to get out of the driveway in reverse -- but it's way more than that when you have young children, especially when they have disabilities as one of mine does.

My daughter is hard of hearing (not deaf, but requires hearing aids) and is exceptionally ADD. Last year, she was playing with a basketball in our driveway and it slipped out of her hands and into the street. Mom and I were on the porch when we saw her go after a basketball, we got up running and were screaming at her. She didn't notice us or the car as she emerged from behind a parked car into the street chasing her ball. The driver ran over the ball and narrowly missed hitting her (also narrowly missed the neighbor's big brick mailbox as he swerved). He didn't slow down, just swerved and continued on at a breakneck speed. The kids are no longer allowed to play in the front yard.

Now, sometimes residential roads are indistinguishable from main roads -- lane markers and such can make it easy to speed "by accident". This is not the case in my subdivision. We have a large marquee indicating the name of the subdivision and a posted speed limit (25 MPH) sign. It's all houses, tightly packed, except for an elementary school. Because of a light with poor timing that causes a back-up on the main road, our subdivision is used as a bypass during Rush Hour.

I set up an RPi connected camera to help me make the case for increased enforcement after my daughter was nearly hit by a speeding driver. Two-thirds of the cars appear to be going well over 25 MPH and over half are going so fast it's obvious they're going 15 MPH over the speed limit.

I doubt anyone is in such a hurry that they're consciously choosing the safety of residents of my neighborhood over their 1/2-minute reduction in travel time to their destination, but their actions are just that. I'll be adding this feature to the software I use to track traffic in my neighborhood. I might even go so far as to shame the worst of the drivers (mostly 16-17 year-olds). I even toyed with the idea of setting up a sign that lights up a "Slow Down" message when a car is obviously speeding, but I'm betting that'd run afoul of local ordinances. Incidentally, I had tried to get a "Deaf Child/Disabled Child" sign put up, but I was told the township no longer does this and given the dubious excuse that "they provide a false sense of security" (no -- "they're expensive" or "we're tired of having to change them when the wording is decided to be 'politically-incorrect' every few months" is the problem -- they still put up "Pedestrian Crossing" and other related signs and they still maintain the existing ones when they get knocked over).
That seems like a silly statement. Treating a patient with a dose of ketamine includes a lot more costs than just the drug.

If a patient comes in and gets an infusion of ketamine, even if the procedure only takes 1 hr (infuse and observe), you need to pay for the building, the nurse, the physician, all the backroom staff, etc.

Hell, I go into my primary care doctor for an annual physician and it costs ~$200. I see the doctor for maybe 5 minutes and a nurse for maybe another 5 min.

It's like saying "the cost of a bottle of coke is only $0.20, and it's such a shame that it costs me $1.50 at a gas station".

I would guess that compatibility with existing JS libs is far easier with Typescript. You can trivially consume an existing JS lib from TS or export/compile your TS lib to pure JS, which other JS then can seamlessly consume.

Although I don't have bigger experience with Elm, Purescript, Scala.js, Ceylon, Websharper & Co I guess its more complicated with them. An advantage here is also that Typescript does not bring along it's own standard library (e.g. new collection types) which could cause problems on interoperability.

Another advantage is getting other people on board. Getting developers from pure JS to typescript is not difficult, especially when they are used to Java/C++/C# (which most developers are). The learning curve for the other languages will be higher for most developers.
> > And at the end of the day, why is the "everything is a file" model bad?

> Because not everything is a file? And therefore forcing people to treat everything as a "file", which they have certain natural expectations for, leads to problems such as the one here when the objects cannot fulfill the users' expectations?

"Everything is file" doesn't mean that everything is associated with a block on disk. Filesystems are a very good (and intuitive) way of describing hierarchies, and benefit from requiring literally only one syscall interface that works will all of your tools and programming languages without needing to update the stdlib. How would you propose to represent hierarchies using syscalls? Would you have a "set_uefi_variable" syscall? How would that not become unweidly? ioctls wouldn't work (not just because they're ioctls but also because you'd need to open a file, and devices aren't files either -- because "everything is a file" is bad, right?). You could try doing it all with kdbus (or something), and that might even be somewhat plausible. Until you realize there's no way of doing anything that doesn't require breaking out a C compiler. Shell scripts couldn't do simple things like change the dimness of your backlight.

> > You can use it to do many more cool things with shell scripts (such as [...] dodgy cowboy stuff)

> I feel this is fairly obvious... if your argument for the everything-is-a-file model is a love for dodgy cowboy hackery, then is it really that surprising that you're sacrificing something (in this case, usability/sensibility/etc.) in the process?

It also doesn't require 500 pages of API docs each time you want to change your backlight with a shell script. The whole point of Unix is to solve problems quickly, not to have to break out your C compiler each time you want to do something less trivial than renaming a file.

> I mean, yeah, those who feel like cowboys might find your system intuitive, but do you not see how it might not be very usable by (or useful to) other people?

Filesystems are intuitive to almost all users. When teaching Unix to my friends, I start by saying "everything is a file" and move on from there. Why? Because it's actually a useful abstraction. Filesystems are already incredibly intuitive. Not to mention that nobody was actually complaining about how intuitive it is to have efivarfs, it's a non-issue.
This looks pretty neat! Would you recommend this for someone wanting to learn rust from scratch who is proficient in other languages?
PayScale is basing its median income data for Colgate grads with 10+ years of experience off of 16 observations. There are likely only one or two observations going into the Colgate Social Science salary in the article.

http://www.payscale.com/research/US/School=Colgate_Universit...

In addition, only 25% of Colgate grads go into business-related fields after graduation and the number of those going into high-profile management consulting or investment banking is likely under 100 people a year. The number of people making huge piles of money in general is very small and isn't as correlated with education as people tend to think. Hacker News has a wildly skewed view of this and dishonest "statistics" like these generally go unexamined.
I got hit by this scam a few years ago. My wife called the first number in google and they said for $50 they could come open my front door. The guy gets there and says "oh these locks are too complicated I need to drill it out and it'll be $350". I told him I'd give him $50 cash under the table and he could tell his boss I told him to go fuck himself. He drilled the lock which spurred my wonder of how hard it was to actually pick a simple residential lock.

I bought a lockpicking kit, a new lock and learned that even somebody with little skill and some practice could have picked that lock in 10-15 minutes. It would seem they drill all locks out regardless of difficulty to eliminate any required skillset.
I don't know about this particular phantom time theory, but if you don't have a good calendar you need to keep inserting random days, leading to greater and greater confusion. Changing the calendar was not a big deal under those circumstances, it was normal behavior. Apparently so much so that in Egypt they had the Pharaoh swear he wouldn't change the calendar again upon taking office:

"It must have been, then, that there were local attempts to retain the coincidences between the true and the calendar year — intercalation of days or even of months being introduced, now in one place, now in another ; and these attempts, of course, would make confusion worse confounded^ as the months might vary with tlie district, and not with the time of year.

That this is what really happened is, no doubt, tlie origin of the stringent oath required of the Pharaohs in after times, to which I shall subsequently refer.

[...]

When the year of 365 days was established, it was evidently
imagined that finality had been reached ; and, mindful of the
confusion which, as we have shown, must have resulted from
the attempt to keep up a year of 360 days by intercalations,
each Egyptian king, on his accession to the throne, bound
himself by oath before the priest of Isis, in the temple of
Ptah at Memphis, not to intercalate either days or months,
but to retain the year of 365 days as established by the
Antiqui.^ The text of the Latin translation preserved by
Nigidius Figulus cannot be accurately restored; only thus
much can be seen with certainty.

To retain this year of 365 days, then, became the first law
for the king, and, indeed, the Pharaohs thenceforth throughout
the Avhole course of Egyptian history adhered to it, in spite
of their being subsequently convinced, as we shall see, of its
inadequacy."

EDIT : Ho! The comments seems to say the guy really existed.

Btw; should I tell the author that Eris means the goddess of discordia (misunderstanding that becomes conflict) and not of chaos. Which make the choice of the pseudonym even more interesting ... for a troll. I would have chosen Hermes (god of the pranks, liers, merchants, ambassadors, thieves, crossroads, boxing, and messengers).

And that is brother Ares is the god of war // dreadful conflicts (he is re-used as the leader of the knights of the apocalypse in the bible).

So bad St John never took the time to be versed enough in greek mythology to know that the goddess of intelligence always win vs Ares/Ires.

I sometimes think the christians/jews/muslims lacks something compared to the greek civilisation when it comes to dealing with our fears.

This is a good point. The Saudi's are rethinking many parts of their economy and attempting to get off of their own dependency on oil by making drastic changes:

The role of foreign investors in the economy has always been a controversial issue in Saudi Arabia, which follows an austere version of Sunni Islam. Yet as oil prices plummet to around $30 a barrel, authorities are racing to find alternatives to revenue from crude exports to finance a budget deficit about 15 percent of economic output.

The slump in oil prices has already pushed Saudi authorities to cut spending, issue more debt and draw down the kingdom’s foreign-currency reserves. Officials are also weighing plans to sell stakes in state-owned entities from hospitals to airports and even Saudi Arabian Oil Co., the kingdom’s biggest oil company, known as Aramco.

There's talk that in 5 years the Saudi's could burn through all of their foreign currency reserves at the current rate.
