Sr Software Engineer Position
I work as part of the Talent Acquisition team for Telarix which is a leading provider of software solutions to telecom providers. We are part of the portfolio of Vista Equity Partners which is one of the world’s leading private equity firms within the software market. Currently we are seeking a Sr. Software Engineer for our company located in Vienna, VA so I wanted to see if you might be open to hearing about a new opportunity. If you are available for a brief 5-10 minute discussion about this role so I can provide you with some more details to see if you might be interested. Even if you are not looking at this time, it would still be great to connect for future networking purposes or perhaps if you know anyone in your network who might be a great fit for this role.

Thank you and looking forward to connecting.

Really? I believe that the top 25% "quality" products in most market segments are better than they've ever been (and usually cheaper as well).

A 2016 Toyota Camry is higher quality than a 1986 Mercedes was in 1986. A 2016 Macbook is higher quality than any 2006 laptop was in 2006. I can buy a high-quality dishwasher from Bosch, a high-quality washing machine from LG, a high-quality mini-split from any number of suppliers. And all of those things are more affordable than they've ever been.

I agree that fewer things are lifetime user-serviceable (for most users), but that's a different thing than inherent quality (which is roughly proxied by: how long do I expect it to reliably work without repair?). If my TV is beyond economic repair the first time it breaks, but it doesn't break for 10 years, I'm way ahead of the game as compared to the old days when I took vacuum tubes to the town radio repair shop for testing to determine which one I should replace.
>> But that doesn't mean that GitHub and the rest of the community have to continue to rub it in their face and aggravate those issues with a constant reminder that they "should be contributing more".

That's the problem, the stats are just that. Anyone interpreting them as an indicator of "should be contributing more" should chill. But I do see your point.

>> Recognizing that people may have problems, recognizing that the activity graph and streak metric may aggravate those problems, and then saying that the charts shouldn't be removed and the people should just deal with it themselves is not particularly empathetic.

To be honest, I didn't read the entire piece, I just got far enough to cringe at this whole notion of people trying to play games with the stats and wanted to comment.

I have been looking inward myself lately, and while I have found it very challenging or even painful at times, it is one of the best things I've ever done. Highly recommended. We've all got our issues...
I haven't read the book but what you're describing is what's called Crew Resource Management[1] in aviation. It's especially valuable in cultures where second guessing your superior is career suicide. CRM stresses that the captain and first officers are a team and how they should communicate.

Interestingly, the first character doesn't seem to matter. "easyBCD" and "EasyBCD" return the same results. And for some things all lower case appears to work:

"USB", "uSB", "usb", "Usb" all work, "usB" does not. I agree that case sensitivity is pointless here.

It probably associated your location with Germany. It gave me the English version.

My first lookup (which I've already forgotten) gave me "results" but it could have been a disambiguation page.

Motivations for disabling comments vary widely, for one thing.

For another, Genius is a company with a history of controversy. I can imagine some sites being ok with universal annotations but averse to Genius. It'd be useful to know how Genius is going about things wrong, because I dream of someday having a universal annotation layer that doesn't provoke widespread blocking.

Do you like Node/Express better than Rails/Django for building a simple web app?
I've never tried Node before, but I'm trying to pick a framework for a quick, simple web app (with Postgres as the database). And I also want to understand the JavaScript hype in general.

What do you like better about Node compared the older frameworks, besides being able to use the same language in the front and back end?

I'm sorry. I really didn't want to come across as aggressive. My intention was just to deliver a thought about trying to create more meaningful products.
Again, I'm sorry if you felt the tone was rude. I adjusted it a little bit. Also I would def have this in mind for future writes. Thanks for the comment and the feedback.
If you're worried about someone else's commit graph. The solution isn't to end the commit graph, it's for you to stop caring about what other people are doing.

>Programmers tend to take offense at it though, for some reason

Probably the same reason passionate musicians take offense when lazy garbage tunes make it to the charts:

Gauging the quality of music is something most people can't do, and they feel robbed because they're not compensated proportionately to the amount of their effort compared to those other unpassionate musicians.
If it's "work work" (tasks you're being employed to do) then it's illegal in most of the EU to work every day — see the Working Time Directive¹, which requires at least 24 hours of non-work time every week, for most occupations.

I'm paid to work on free software. In the last year, my Github profile shows a single commit on a weekend, when I made a pull request on a browser extension I use. I'd rather spend my weekend time away from computers :)

We have a best-in-class student experience that we're beginning to offer to the market through different modalities and products. There is significant room to improve the breadth, depth, and analytics around our acquisition channels… which is where you come in.

We're seeking a highly versatile hustler with strong previous startup experience who will lead our core marketing channels and top-of-funnel efforts. This will require you to have very strong skills along both content-driven and paid acquisition axes as well as a creative eye for hacking new channels. You will also interface directly with our product/engineering team to help put together A/B tests and other product experiments, so the role is decidedly cross-discipline and strong product/technical comfort is a must.

This is not a micromanaged role for individuals looking to "get into startups" but rather a high ownership position where you will be accountable for delivering results. Only individuals with a proven track record of success will be considered.

Requirements:

* 3+ years in a growth or marketing role at a startup with demonstrable track record of results

* Strong track record working with paid campaigns, producing content, tracking analytics and sourcing creative for campaigns.

* Comfort developing and executing a growth strategy.

There is a cool algorithm to least-squares fit Bezier curves to a list of points by Philip J. Schneidr, printed in Graphics Gems. Here is a C# version I found on github:

For example, you can use it convert scanned bitmapped font edges to curves to create a scalable font.

You can whitelist CIDR ranges of /16 and /24 currently. So yes, you can to some extent whitelist everyone.
I run my own mailserver on a $5 debian Digital Ocean node. The only problem I have run into is that DO blocks outgoing SMTP on IPv6, and in spite of complaints it doesn't seem like they intend to ever change that. (You can easily mitigate this by disabling IPv6. But I want to use IPv6, so I'm in the process of switching over to Ramnode.)

If you also want to run a ZNC host or personal webserver, it's a pretty good deal.

Your concerns about self-hosting are fair, but I would encourage you to take a leap of faith and do it anyway. Exim doesn't require any maintenance-- if you get it setup right in the beginning, you'll never have to touch it again.
Right, but this is about abuse and solutions for that. Obviously, blocking Tor is not going to prevent a determined attacker from scraping your site or trying some SQLi vectors. It might, however, prevent a large number of bots from scraping your site for emails, scanning for vulnerabilities, or doing click fraud. It's not a perfect solution, but those rarely exist. CloudFlare sees a lot of malicious traffic, so they probably have a better view of what works and what doesn't compared to everyone else.
This is a really dumb way of thinking about things. If you truly think this person has a mental issue, then tweaking the commit graph on github is not going to do anything about it.
I though that it was a really well done metaprank.
The entire offshoring software industry is already Taylorised. I'm not saying it's good or efficient but it is the reality of large software projects.

The architects are onshore and have never coded in their lives. They draw boxes on whiteboards and feed UML to offshore dev 'factories'. That UML gets decomposed so that you will have factory lines of developers producing classes (sometimes just methods) in isolation. LOC is frequently used as a productivity measure by their management. It's about as far from software as craft as you can get.
Much faster than the web interface. Even over Tor! The fast disconnections are a bit lame, would be a bit better if it used curses so that it would start scrolled up.
Not only that but you could only display CAPTCHAs on the actual target of the DDoS.

Upwork | Bay Area | Onsite (or remote for the right person) | https://www.upwork.com

Like working on big scale, distributed platform services? My team at Upwork is hiring an intern for Summer 2016 and a Senior Software Engineer to help us build out our next generation platform. Along the way, you'll get to work with people from all over the world (most of our engineering team works remotely) including world class engineers, product managers and designers. The post for the intern is available at https://goo.gl/dVMDmb. The post for the Senior Engineer isn't up yet but it follows along the same lines as the intern post.

Feel free to apply via Jobvite or email me (email available in profile) directly.

P.S. - We are also looking for remote Java engineers to work with us, so if you're interested, there's that too :).
Show HN: Convert any video to potato quality
Your vastly overstating effects. At 84x this may cause the next year to be ~1 hours worth of extra CO2 ahead, but that delta is going to drop down over time. (980 million cars in the world / 1.7 = 1:576, transportation is 30% of CO2, not sure what % is cars but 50% = 1:6,405 = 44 minutes:1year )

It's like saying a stunt jumper hit the ground sooner because they carried a camera on the trip. Yes, they might have been 'ok' for a few extra Nano seconds, but that's not why the parachute failed to deploy.

PS: For scale, if everyone in the US drove a Prius it would help and be useful, but not stop global warming.
> I think you're severely overrating the quality of Internet comments

Maybe so, but I think perhaps you're underrating the desire by state and corporate actors for tools to suppress free discourse.

> there isn't even a report feature available

No, there definitely is a "Report Abuse" button. But, there clearly isn't much in the way of a global reputation/meta-moderation system, except what's carried over from the original Genius site, which doesn't exactly share the same editorial values as an (my) ideal annotation platform. The managing editor being from Gawker and going around posting snarky/superficially critical comments on serious pieces of writing is pretty emblematic of this. Which is a shame.

Since it's related, and I'm a fan of their work, here's another annotation platform, https://hypothes.is/, whose developers seem much more serious about creating a robust reputation system.
First, there's been tools like this for a while. MS had an annotations tool built into IE in the 90s. (Though I think it required some sort of Office server or something.)

Second, her reasoning seems to revolve around not having comments on her site. Isn't this literally what every link aggregator from HN to reddit does?

She mentions reddit and others, but doesn't explain how they're different. Apparently it's because people can "scribble" "on her website". This makes News Genius "worse than Twitter". I guess if reddit created a browser plugin she'd hate it too?

>pasted in links to my tweets—which theoretically they should not have had access to, as I had blocked them both on Twitter

How can you block anyone on Twitter and think it'll work? Just sign out and block's gone?

>No one likes being questioned

I think that sums up her attitude. Note I think her work is fine, but she's literally complaining about people discussing her work on other sites.
so care less about it. it's a fucking graph
So look, I literally can't even right about now.

The UX researchers here at Google DO in fact sit down with many people and watch them use all sorts of parts of google, gmail, etc. In fact they go out of their way to run usability studies in various parts of the countries, because, you know, selection bias.

Also automated data is collected.

The real problem here is, if you have X million users, can you really know them as a unified set of people? Of course not.

Sure this prank backfired, but hey, have some compassion for the people who worked on it. They were trying to be funny, and trying to bring a little light to people's life. There was no intention of ruining anyone's day.

Hyperbole much? Or am I getting forgetful?

> and if we weren't 99% devs, supposed to be able to solve much worse "mysteries" on our own...

Ok, you get points for this.
And then what's the point? You aren't proving anything to the world, and they can trivially see that you didn't do any real work. It's like saying "I'm going to write a part of my novel every day from now on", then every day you type one letter. It's very clearly gaming the system, and for absolutely no gain. You gained no skills, you didn't show yourself to be of value, you don't even get an imaginary reward. The intrinsic reward of tracking systems is lost because deep down you know you didn't do anything.
OK, here's the obvious one: any plans for a new Flask release ? (1.0 or 0.11).

While I'm at it, many thanks for your work on these projects, which are currently the foundation of my business.
Naturally I did some googling on "telehack" before typing it into the terminal. ;) So, I run it and see some familiar things. Talking to Eliza is a trap. I try StarWars expecting a banner or game. What I find... the movie rendered as text art... is awesome. The level of detail and compromises they made were great.

Thanks for the link as I'm sure I'll find more interesting stuff on here. :)

> Soviet Union resource allocation was performed by central planning committee instead of markets.

So is big any bank investment portfolio...

Anyway, the point is that if the bank does not invest the capital into something that ultimately produces wealth, you have just a big dysfunctional chairs game, where a few people get out with a lot of money, taken from the others that get out poorer, while the entire economy goes into the drain.

But yeah, the above can not last unless there is some central planning committee overruling the market allocations. What I don't get is why you think that is an exclusivity of the old Soviet Union.
