Backend Developer - Someone with strong experience in C++ and database/systems programming. Knowledge of CUDA/OpenCL, LLVM, X64 Optimization, and/or OpenGL a major plus.

Frontend Developer – Someone with strong knowledge of React/Redux. Ideal candidate has good design sense and data visualization background.

My developers sometimes spend all day at the ping pong table
I've always felt that if people idolized Woz more than Jobs, the world would be a better place. That's probably just my own tinkerer/engineer bias coming to light though.
The tones in the piano don't have a lot of harmonic content (at least what I can hear from my ears), and if there are more harmonics the beating of the harmonics can be more easily heard. Just a suggestion.

Is that color picker a built-in?
When doing this, be wary of what a friend of mine calls "misfactoring", an example of which being where you take three very similar, very readable bits of code and convert them into a single, parameterized mess that isn't understandable at all.
When did a fingerprint become a symbol for security?
You could say the same thing about the last redesigns to gmail and maps, but those were real too.
I seriously doubt that you have. You wouldn't be writing nonsense about a "fresh start" or "finding a new job/wife" otherwise. Even steps much more insignificant than those are simply impossible for a vast amount of people on this planet.
Exactly my thought.
You should definately follow up. Otherwise you kind of look like you don't mind. Make sure its polite and professional and don't jump to any conclusions.

Keep records of any correspondence and activities related to the matter so that you can helpfully point these out at a later date should you need to.

If it happens again then you need to be more firm and notify them of your intended actions which could include finding other employment.

The real reasons for the late payment could be many: no money to pay you, bank administration problem, forgot to do payroll. There aren't many acceptable reasons and if it is "no money to pay you" then I'd start looking for another job.

SEEKING WORK -

Location: Live in Boston, NYC. Regularly in Chicago for CME work.
Remote: On-site available + international to any US friendly reason (I hold DoD TS clearance, and don't want to lose it, so Yemen isn't quite possible).
Email: andrew[at]amplete.com

Specialties - Came from a math background. Started with Q/KDB+ in finance, moved to enterprise J2EE (WebSphere ND and WebLogic setups for re-insurance companies), then to enterprise ASP.NET (WebForms to MVC) and SiteCore. That pivoted into Dynamics NAV/AX and CRM work for a bit, before moving into SAP ECC (FI/CO) and other ERP implementations. Some legacy maintenance of iOS/Ruby projects (feature and bug enhancement).

More recently, RTOS hardware (QNX, VXworks, Pulsar & Rocket, eCos) and design engineering to get through FCC (EMI pretesting) and FDA MDR certification. Did the standard enterprise technical pre-sales/project lead for projects from 2009-11, as well as pivotal in getting SBA federal contracts through for the SEC, DoD and DHS (yielding ~230MM USD in just under 3 years).

Experience in military (TS/SCI/Poly security for the DoD), healthcare (was a primary consultant on a few projects with Blue Cross/Blue Shield), and finance (proprietary trading of specialty instruments at institutional funds).

Rate - A function of the project. The market has been kind enough to me that I can go from free (if you're doing anything academic and need to get something done but are low on NSF/NIH grant money, I'd be happy to help especially for places like the Broad Inst., Max Planck, etc.) ranging to market rates for the more enterprise solutions. Will also work for free as the engineer grunt for any pure mathematicians working on algebraic topology, combinatorics, or lattice theory (though I can't imagine the need for that), thought I'd throw it out there.
Graduated in Network Engineering.

Post-graduated in Business Administration and Management, at Fundação Dom Cabral, 2014.

Looking for: Software Engineer and UX Designer

Subcurrent is reimagining enterprise applications through the medium of chat. Currently, our Slack bot helps companies measure processes through quick polls and lightweight conversation. We are looking for someone new to join our team and we think you'd like to come here because:

* We've already got great traction including the #1 spot in the Slack App Directory's HR category and paying customers!

* We're starting to build out a personality and chat dialogue for our bot, so you get to moonlight as a scriptwriter and critic

* We have some really exciting technical challenges ahead of us, with hard problems like natural language processing for our chat interface and cluster management across thousands of realtime connections to chat clients

For devs: Our stack is primarily in Node.js and Meteor running on AWS, but we're totally cool with other backgrounds.
What will happen when IPv6 takes off and anyone can just go get a unique, random, throwaway IP address each day? Do "IP reputation" systems work in such a world?
I didn't spot anything worded immaturely. What specifically do you think could be more maturely worded?
Why Docker Is Already Dominating
It's not a binary thing. You can regulate out fraud, abuse, and DDoS attacks without harming the legitimate use cases.

It's like selling alcohol (cigarettes, porn, gambling), but not to minors.

You can say "it's OK for this crowd not OK for this crowd". Otherwise you'd probably claim that said regulation would go against the very thing that the merchant is trying to do: make as much money as possible.
Pockulus C.H.I.P. – $49 DIY VR Game Console
Barely made anything, my system just couldn't take anything, that what I tried to say, at one point your just deprived of good sensation from your body, lack of blood flow, inability to take any junk food (even processed). Your mind is a bit in danger mode and your body very explicit about what is good and what is not. Having your vascular system above a certain threshold will trigger a strange form of pleasure even. Imagine the bliss of getting in bed after 48h+ being awake, but coming from each every cells, muscle, veins.

To be honest, even in that situation I procrastinated, I should be walking every day morning and evening. But the weakness was so stressful I was worried about doing anything. Fun part: blood sample, ECG and echography revealed nothing so doctors pat me on the back as if I was seeking attention and feared of nothing. So anyway the tests having came back I walk more and every time that bliss comes back. I can understand why overweight people sitting all day can harm their body, killing me softly style, if they never walk more than 45min.
That would be something neat, and I wonder if such a program tied to a vocaloid[1] synthesizer would do the trick.

These submissions also tend to bring out the apologists for China's authoritarianism, such as yourself. As the article makes clear, they are banning April Fool's day because they don't want anyone to make the government look bad, not because rumors are dangerous.

Senior Front End Developer:
SEC $120,000 - $155,000
New York

We're building the SEC's next generation analytic platforms to keep our markets safe, effective, and trusted. Come build state-of-the-art tools to analyze big data within the High Frequency Trading arena. We do quantitative analysis, machine learning, plus good old fashioned product development. At the end of the day we are creating modern, elegant applications that help our government be more efficient, effective, and modernized.

You are: A front end developer with solid experience using JS. You will own the front end of the application and be focused on data visualization and creating a GUI. While we don’t need a graphic designer, some design sense will be a huge asset for creatively displaying data in clear and meaningful ways. Your visualizations will be used to enforce the law on big firms trading within the markets.

The development tools we are interested in are: D3, Highcharts, React, Node, Angular2, Typescript, and any others that you may bring to the table. The ability to learn is more valuable than being a pro in all the tools from the get go, but familiarity with them is helpful. Any additional languages/tools, such as Python, C/C++, KDB+ are wholly welcome.

Join a small team of talented developers, capable researchers, and finance people.

It doesn't matter if you know our stack or not, if you love to learn you'll fit right in. For more information, or to apply, email Michael Suswal at suswalm (at)sec(dot)gov

SEEKING WORK - Remote

Operating from the Netherlands, timezone UTC+1. Fluent in JavaScript, both front-end (mostly Ember, RiotJS, and React) and backend (NodeJS, Electron). I did my fair share of front-end engineering, so CSS (or SASS) holds no secrets for me. I wrote quite a bit of Android code, both Java and NDK stuff, as well as React Native for both iOS and Android. Experience with JavaEE 7, although I wouldn't call myself an expert. Can pick up almost any technology fairly easily, and I'm interested in expanding my current knowledge, so do not hesitate to contact me even if I haven't mentioned the technologies you use. I'm available for tiny to medium size projects.

I feel like no one is addressing one of the biggest problems with these April Fool's things: they're just not funny. PigeonRank might have been cute 10+ years ago, but now it's the same joke over and over.

You know how in your group of friends there's one or two who are just super funny and make everyone laugh out loud? But then there's your other friend who every once in a while cracks a joke and you just kinda smile a bit? Yeah, that's who's putting together these pranks.

Tor has acknowledged their "botnet problem" since at least 2013:

https://research.torproject.org/techreports/botnet-tr-2013-1...

That same paper walks through the challenges of dealing with it and doesn't find any satisfactory solutions.

As I wrote in our post on the topic, there's a trade off between security, anonymity, and convenience. CloudFlare provides security to our customers. We believe in the importance of anonymously accessing the Internet. Unfortunately, that means we have to sacrifice some convenience. If you haven't read it, I encourage you to see the post I wrote on the topic:

https://blog.cloudflare.com/the-trouble-with-tor/

The two long-term solutions we proposed — blinded tokens or CloudFlare supporting .onion addresses — we believe could reduce the inconvenience, but they'll require help from the Tor developers. While public posts like this are discouraging in terms of coming up with a better solution, I'm encouraged by private conversations we've had with Tor developers who acknowledge this is a hard problem and want to find solutions.

Root Inc. | Full Stack Developer | Toledo, OH | Full-time | ONSITE preferred, REMOTE possible for right candidate

Root is looking for a candidate with a degree in Computer Science (or an associated field) and/or 1-3 years’ experience in web application development and dev-ops engineering to join our programming team. This position will work with cross functional teams (including front end developers, digital artists, film makers, graphic designers, and script writers) to develop and maintain web applications. If you’re a jack-of-all trades that enjoys participating in a project throughout the entire lifecycle, we would love to talk to you! We look forward to a lively conversation about such topics as source control, build scripts, automated testing, and the merits of different production environments…. and hope you do too. We have an awesome work environment and we're right off Rt. 23 so several of our employees are able to commute from Ann Arbor, MI and some even come from Detroit. https://www.rootinc.com/about-us/careers/full-stack-develope...
Perhaps not, but that was the core of your argument, wasnt it? That Linux is still in the sorry state it was back then, in the way that still, in 2016 Linux is behind the proprietary OSes?

Sorry to break it to you, but this is simply false.

In fact Linux offers far superior hardware support to OS X or Windows. Also the actual "desktop software" provided on Linux is far superior (WMs and such).

But don't let the facts hit you on your way out.

Sqreen - https://www.sqreen.io | Full-time Onsite developers | Engineering team in Paris

Sqreen's mission is to provide robust security layer to help developers protect their web applications against weaknesses. We develop solutions that combine instrumentation, defensive algorithms and machine learning. Our dashboard displays detailed information about the security of every sqreened application.

We are recruiting 10 new engineers to join our team to help porting Sqreen to all environments and ship our incoming products:
- C gurus with a strong PHP background (or the opposite !)
- Node experts, having written Node extensions in C/C++ : LibUV, v8 API...

We are obviously looking for great developers, and you don't need to be a security nerd (even if at Sqreen, you will learn a lot about it).

Our code runs inside our customers' applications, which is a challenge for reliability and efficiency.

We have a cool and modern stack based on Docker, AWS, Mongo, Flask & React, and we do full continuous integration.
We are passionate, we love code, we attend and contribute to meet-ups and open source!

I'm not intimate with Oracle pricing, but Microsoft doesn't want to sell just the RDBMS, but the entire SQL Server ecosystem. The enterprise license includes all of SSAS, SSRS, SSIS, integrated R in the DB, integrated SQL over big data sources, and a whole bunch of other stuff. My understanding is that the fully loaded cost of the entire data pipeline from source to business insight is where the TCO argument confess from.

I'm not trying to shill and hope I don't come across that way. I just want to share a semi-insider perspective to help others understand where MS is coming from. Do with that understanding what you will. I don't have a horse on this race.
