Ripple | San Francisco, CA or REMOTE | full-time

Hi, I'm a C++ software engineer at Ripple. I work on the Ripple Protocol, a peer-to-peer decentralized payment server (see https://github.com/ripple/rippled).

We're looking to hire a Senior C++ Software Engineer. The official ad is here: https://ripple.com/company/careers/all-jobs/#senior-software...

The team knows the C++ language well. One member is on the committee and I believe three have submitted proposals. If you like working with C++, you'll be very happy here (we use `14).

Our software is cross platform, and you're welcome to use your preferred tools. The team is split pretty evenly across Windows, Linux, and Mac.

We're a "remote first" team, spread across the U.S. Almost all communication is done through slack/email/skype.

Ripple is growing fast. We've got great funding (inc. Google Ventures & Andreessen Horowitz), and a great team. Feel free to email me with any questions: monk.scott at google's mail (My name is Scott).
MPD Group | Manchester, UK | Full time, ONSITE

We are looking for developers who enjoy solving problems, find coding fun, like being part of an agile team, are not afraid to try new approaches, yet easily abandon 'false-starts', like clean code, have strongly developed common sense, and take pride in things they build.

You would be working on Electio - our newly built and constantly evolving SaaS fulfillment management platform (more about Electio - http://electiodelivers.com/). Electio already does some great things which won us major clients, but that's just a start. We're excited to see what else we can make it do, how we can innovate in a challenging market, and delight our customers.

Electio has to comply with very strict response SLAs and at the same time handle large, 'spiky' volumes of data, therefore designing for performance, reviewing and optimising your code would be essential.

We believe you should test your own code. We're not particular if you cover it with meaningful tests before or after you've written it - as long as you do.

You should also be ok with deploying your own code in a controlled manner.

We use relatively new technology stack (.Net 4.6.1, C#, MVC 4.5, Nancy, SQL Server 2014, Redis, Dapper, ELK, and Azure Service Bus).

We keep our code in BitBucket, for continuous integration we use TeamCity, we adopted Gitflow as our branching strategy, and we manage our deployments via Octopus. All our environments are deployed in Azure.

Our interview process is single-stage 2-2.5 hours interview, which involves a coding task. For candidates considering a relocation, we offer an alternative, slightly longer technical test which you can do in your own time.

If you would like to become part of our team, please drop me a quick email to hn@mpd-group.com.

I tried LevelDB with high hopes, but it is ungodly slow. The claims did not line up with reality in any way.
I have PreCheck, first due to my frequent traveler status with my (at the time) favored airline (which, as I understand it, PreCheck doesn't offer any longer) and then as a paid member, when I noticed that over ten consecutive entries, I was redirected to the non-PreCheck screening side 8 times (it now happens much less).

When I fly out of Houston's IAH (Terminal A), I routinely get mixed into the same screening area as non-PreCheck travelers (after a shorter line for the travel document checks). I show my boarding pass on my phone or my watch with the little check mark when I enter the screening area to an agent that never scanned my boarding pass, nor have they been in communication to the agent who did scan my boarding pass. They visually check that the checkmark logo is there, then orally call out to the machine operators that I'm PreCheck, and I don't have to take out my laptop or take off my shoes/jacket.

I also got grandfathered with a tiny membership rate into the CLEAR program in its current (second) generation, a program that doesn't hide its commercial status at all, and says clearly "pay for this and you'll have zero wait". I get to IAH Terminal A, tell the CLEAR agent I'm a member, and they quickly computer-scan my pass and verify my fingerprint. They walk me to the TSA podium, flash their CLEAR ID badge, and tell them my identity and boarding pass was verified (and that I'm PreCheck, since my known traveler number is associated with my CLEAR account as well). One more quick scan of my pass and I'm through the longest part of the wait: waiting for them to check my ID. I'm through security even on the busiest of days in about 15 minutes, mostly in 5 minutes. I know the wait time would grow again if everyone had CLEAR, but the ID verification part would be super fast.

Security lines themselves only seem clogged up by people who don't follow the rules (because they aren't frequent travelers) or who object to them. I don't agree with the rules, I write my congressperson to object to them, and I'm embarrassed by them when I'm speaking with people who don't live in this country. But until my letters to my congressperson (the method by which "We The People" can actually influence our government) are joined with millions more, security theater will remain.

CLEAR showed me that ID verification with PreCheck (since they have your fingerprints anyway) could be quick and efficient. It isn't. Some US airports have security lines that move quickly even in the busiest times, because agents are helping passengers comply in advance with rules with which many travelers are unfamiliar. So it can be better there, too.

But to effect change in our government, we have to participate in our government, which goes beyond voting every four years; it means writing to the representatives you or your neighbors have voted into office.
Disruptive innovation. Exponential responsibilities

If you're listening to music or white noise over the headphones, that'll do just as well as active noise cancellation for a lot of normal office noise. I can drown out most things with a good pair of rubber in-ear headphones and a bit of music.

r/all looks nothing like my front page.

While it's arguably true that the level of discourse is not what it was 5 years ago (or maybe my interests/world view has changed - probably a combination of both), a (personally) curated list of sub-reddits is still 100x better than the default reddit.
It's possible that the "brand new laptop" Gavin received wasn't brand new at all and was opened, flashed, and resealed, or perhaps Craig has obtained a fake trusted certificate for electrum.org and MITM'd the connection on his home/work wifi.

Chorded keyboards are silly - just like chorded instruments. Can't argue with the obvious superiority of the 2000-keyed guitar rather than just one with 6 strings and 20 frets.

Also, it's not like you'll be using keyboards for half a decade, so yeah... learning something like that would be a total waste of time.

It's not only TSA personnel (who are, on the whole, so incompetent I wouldn't hire most of the ones I meet to do ANYTHING), it's policy itself. Security policy in much of the world today is reactive and shortsighted - shoe bomber? take off your shoes, Underwear bomber, let's x-ray everyone, etc. etc. - all just to be able to say they "did something," whether or not is effective or efficient in any way at all.

I remember several years back when the shoe-removal policy has just been relatively new, and I was flying out of Israel. The security personnel there had someone devoted solely to going around telling people NOT to remove their shoes, in order to make sure the lines keep moving.

TSA just could not care less whether people actually make their flights, or whether terrorists get through, as long as they don't get blamed for missing something they should have caught.
If it meets the guidelines, this might make a good "Show HN". Curious if the software is open source.

Internships with housing stipends? Is that a standard SF perk now?

I hadn't seen anything like that in the midwest. Interns pay to rent apartments just like anyone else.

I guess "the high tech sector may experience a reasonably paced contraction" wouldn't get as many clicks.
I don't see that as an answer to the question I asked. I did not ask how much US government debt was held by China.

If that is all OP meant, I would ask them why they think China owning US bonds is particularly meaningful for the US.

"the laws say this, but secretly these are the real laws"
I really need to lose weight, my heaviness has started to lead to other health problems, but I find that whenever I try to eat significantly less, I have difficulty concentrating on heavy mental tasks (i.e. programming, my job).

The constant feeling of hunger distracts me, or my mind just drifts, until I get some food in me again.

I never see any of these articles even acknowledge this as an issue, either as if no one else has this problem, or no one else who is dieting has a job that requires so much brain power.

Since there's other programmers here, I was curious if other people have noticed something similar, and how they addressed it.

My current plan is not so much to limit my eating (beyond some mild calorie restriction) and instead force myself to exercise more often, but I'd like to be a bit more aggressive with my diet if possible.

Leeruniek | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | full-time | on-site | https://leeruniek.recruitee.com/o/technical-lead

Leeruniek is hiring one or two experienced engineers to help building tools that empower educators to deliver excellent education in the schools from Netherlands. This is an exciting opportunity for a proven leader with strong technical chops to evolve into a CTO role.

We're using python(django-rest-framework) and js(react). DB wise we're postgres and we use ansible to provision the servers. We're currently 2 devs: one with the team in Amsterdam plus one dev working remote. We're running on Azure as BizSpark members but there is a strong preference to diversify on AWS in the near future.
As far as I know, sound is actually so slow that you don't need to average the noise and make an educated guess as to what to filter. Acoustic noise filtering in headphones should work by detecting the outside noise with a microphone and playing the cancelling wave form as soon as the sound wave reaches the interior of your headphone.

In contrast, you can't do that for the noise of a car on the road because here the whole car vibrates and you couldn't, even if you wanted to emit sounds that cancel whatever rumbles quickly enough. Therefore they employ some spectral analysis of the noise and cancel persistent noise. This, of course, wouldn't cancel the sound of hitting a wall.

Again, I'm not 100% sure about this because it's outside of my field of expertise. Corrections are welcome.
I couldn't fit all that in the title though. :)

Joking aside, you are correct. Go shipping pre-installed is a yet to be seen nice-to-have on most systems.

Really interesting.
