Issuer Direct | Full Stack Engineer | Raleigh / RTP NC | Full-Time ONSITE

We are a small micro-cap public company (NYSE: ISDR) and have been growing steadily since 2006. We specialize in helping other public companies with their compliance and communication needs. As a full stack engineer, you will be writing web applications that affect how thousands of public companies get their work done and how millions of shareholders interact with those companies.

Our software development team consists of 8 experienced developers working in an open, collaborative workspace. We pride ourselves on staying on the edge of technology, constantly tinkering with new software and commonly integrating it into production (most of our sites are already served using HTTP/2). We have fully embraced the Docker / containerization approach to software development and run all of our microservices through Kubernetes.

Motivation to work hard, learn, and share what you know are our most important values. Our newest project involves building a real-time web application. Experience with PHP, Python, Go, MySQL, Redis, and HTML / JS / CSS are a plus. Please include links or descriptions of projects you have worked on in the past. Send applications to me directly at caleb.lloyd@issuerdirect.com

I implemented something similar on a coldfire cpu. I was able to protect against the skip over problem you describe by combining the hardware debug point with -fstack-check to create a "canary" zone at the bottom of every stack. This prevents a huge buffer that goes past the bottom of the stack (which would not normally hit your single watchpoint) from overwriting code far outside of the stack space.
It doesn't look a bit odd. It looks impenetrable.
I got into computer programming because I wanted to make video games. By the time i graduated, I no longer had that interest and I don't have any feelings of missing out (though I'm deeply envious of how indie devs like Lucas Pope and Toby Fox -- Papers, Please and Undertale, respectively -- have been able to create such artistic and clever and commercially popular work)...but I would love to experience a standard game dev cycle/crunch. Other types of user-facing software development I can imagine...but how software engineering interacts with the artistic components of development (nevermind playtesting and marketing) is something that seems so different to what I've ever worked on.

Side note: Eurogamer had an absolutely epic insider write up of Lionhead...I'm surprised it didn't make front page but it was one of the best things I've ever read about the industry, and I've never played the Fable games https://hn.algolia.com/?query=Lionhead:%20The%20inside%20sto...

Good... Good... Let the hate flow through you.

An open source OS company just blogged about a new open source project that they are putting resources into. They did not release a commercial product that competes with any existing storage solution.

How exactly would one expect a new project to be announced? Tell me more about how far away from done you think they are.

Sorry if that's a bit sarcastic, but seriously wouldn't it be nice if these comments where more along the lines of: "Interesting new project, here's some issues we've run into vis a vis reliable storage that you should look out for..."
The ClusterHQ guys behind the FlockerHQ found this out the hard way [0]. Initially Flocker was meant to provide a container data migration tool on top of ZFS, now it is a front-end to more established storage systems like Cinder,vSan,EBS,GPD and so on.

Roboform has been my go to, but honestly I don't know how well the security is on it but by the track record it looks as though they have not had any issues by what short searching I have done.

I've seen several open source systems that share on GitHub such as PadLock but have yet to be able to test these to compare to Roboform. Considering how cheap I was able to pick up Roboform to (as a college student I got 4 years for 1) I really haven't seen the urge to switch considering on how universal Siber System's Roboform does on multiple systems.

Even though this can also be a downfall if the developer's slack on one system, I have been satisfied with these guys since I started using them so many years ago and really haven't found many complaints.

edit My entire reasoning for posting was that while I'm very familiar with Roboform my experience with KeePass was always lacking compared to others.
Agreed. Thanks for saying something!

Agree with your use case/pattern - taking the pills n hours before when you want to sleep. Cut the pills in half if you can.

Everybody has a different reaction to sleep medicine. You might also consider environmental changes (blackout curtains, earplugs, or meditation before going to sleep - seriously) to address other possible sleep problems.
That sounds....awful.

I was working on a system that was doing CSG of AI nav meshes. If enough floating point error crept in, eventually the a shared of edge of a navmesh would split apart and you'd be left with the AI walking around non-existent obstructions. Spent an unimaginable amount of time trying to deal with this. One night when I was walking back to my apartment, I walked over a section of the sidewalk that had plywood laying on it. The edges of two pieces of plywood had about an inch gap between them, and I remember my heart jumping in panic as though I was "seeing the bug" again - basically hallucinated my work problem into real life. That was towards the end of working in the game industry...

Closer to 2-3, but you may have to find the right time for you.

If you have ever gone on an extended camping trip, think about the time between sundown and the time you naturally start wanting to fall asleep.
> "It doesn't matter what you describe them as."

When you're using it as you did to try to make the point that the patents were overly broad - then of course it matters!

> "but also wants to shut them down"

It's called leverage - the small player needs to gain leverage to affect a better outcome. Both sides do it, don't kid yourself.

> "Nobody used their patents or invention to build their products."

When you're not researching others prior art then you're reinventing the wheel. Not optimally efficient.

> "What are you talking about? You can't sell 50LOC"

Oh yes you can.

> "How do you create a voice over IP product without infringing a patent that claims to cover any transmission of voice over any data channel?"

Again, you are (deliberately?) representing patents as overly broad. I just showed you that the others patents were not as broadly covering ALL "end-to-end crypto" but yet you continue with these insane notions?

> "Most patents are filed by (a) big companies that sue small players for infringement or (b) Universities that sell patents to big companies that sue small players for infringement."

That's not addressing my point. I said patents enable small players to innovate and find success - your point about who's filing more does nothing to address my point. ...in fact:

> "The smaller companies, independent or academic spinoffs, often get acquired by big players"

further directly proves my point. The smaller players were able to find success - as you said by being acquired.

> "Most studies of effect on patent system shows this to be the case."

Except you just pointed out the small players are acquired. Not all studies are 100% correct. In fact, in the patent world there are many purposely misleading studies.

> "Your claim about small businesses is a legend. That is, it's mostly a myth but with occasionally success stories to give it what little truth it has."

Or perhaps due to NDA's etc you don't hear about the small business successes.

> "Patents don't create innovation"

I hope I never said that because I completely agree. I would say something more like patents supply incentive to innovate but by themselves don't create anything but pieces of paper.

> "Patents then just restrict competition and drive prices up."

Same old tired line. If it drives prices up then generally it will lure investors to invest - and to invest in patents requires investing in innovation - investing in innovation means R&D.

> "And in courts that rule in favor of patent-holder almost 100% of the time?"

How long does it take for you to get a hint? ~15 years of patent reforms, numerous SCOTUS cases, POTUS trying to get involved, etc. So much money and effort spent yet patent-holders still winning. Do you honestly believe that one more reform bill or one more President or one more SCOTUS ruling will finally be the end? Whether I'm morally right or you're morally right - perhaps you are better off to face reality than keep bucking the trend. Hope is not a strategy.

wow, wizardry. it was my favourite game with the dark castle series coming in second. Proving grounds of the mad overlord. I still have it on my SE/30 and on disks. Never did play any of the follow ups.
And this is the comment that makes the whole thing make sense, sort of, to me.

But then if judge's logic becomes the standard, then doesn't that mean you should always vote against the the deal if you think most people will vote for it?
I will do it while watching a movie, except I'll often pause the movie to check a couple of sites (that I've already checked within the last 30 minutes) and before long it's taken me 6 hours across 2-3 nights to watch a 2 hour movie.

It's pretty stupid behaviour. Procrastinating even while relaxing.
I think of it like a code linter; I won't follow every suggestion, but it's nice having another set of "eyes" to point out mistakes.
The way the update system works (according to the article) is that it shows a pop-up with the new version, and that pop-up opens their site (via HTTP). It is conceivable that they'd rely on the impressions coming from update dialogs for their ad revenue, so the argument they used (which - just to clarify - is not my argument) would apply here as well. Switching to HTTPS (or some other signing mechanism) for the update check would solve one of the problems described in the article (tricking the user into thinking there's a new version available), but it would not eliminate the MitM opportunity on the site itself.
From my position as an observer of someone who has struggled with substances for a long time, Amphetamines are the worst of that list. My friend recovers from Alcohol and cocaine fairly quickly once she stops taking them. Cannabis (CBD, specifically) calms her down - it would be a great help if she could get it regularly.

Cough medicine is bad, but it's not nearly as potent of an addicting substance as the others on the list. She's used antihistamines as a hallucinogen before, but is not really tempted by them.
What Is a Net Promoter Score Survey, and How to Use Them Effectively

While I strongly agree with bcantrill, I have to disagree with your HPC origins model in the most strenuous fashion.

The HPC world can be thought of as an alternative universe, one where dinosaurs came to some sort of lazy sentience instead us mammals. HPC RAS (reliability, availability, serviceability) requirements and demands are profoundly different and profoundly lower from what enterprise or even SMB (small & medium sized businesses) would find acceptable. There are or were interesting ideas in GPFS but that was long ago, far away, and sterile besides - not that it stops IBM squeezing revenue from locked-in customers.

Some people in HPC do realize their insular state, but mostly there are hopes for things to be done better that were done better earlier (e.g. "declustered RAID") in the "real" world. Their ongoing hype is for yet-another-meta-filesystem built with feet of straw upon a pile of manure.

The likes of Google infrastructure, are built instead on academic storage R&D, which has been a great source of ideas and interesting test implementations - log structured file systems, distributed hash tables, etc. There is some small overlap, for example in the work of Garth Gibson, but it's not a joint evolution at all.

The choke points
I'm not sure what your sentence about "top schools" has to do with your parents' comment about non-competes.

There is definitely a feedback loop with successful alum from top schools in the bay area and Boston investing in graduates from their schools, many of whom then become successful themselves and do the same, but it isn't clear (to me) whether that has more to do with the talent of those graduates or with their increased likelihood of receiving investment due to the feedback loop itself. If it is the latter, the cycle could be broken by smart investors paying less to invest in the same level of talent, without the same pedigree.

We know the value of a two line shell script and a one step build.

A typical week might include

Designing a strategy for horizontally sharing our database. Implementing graceful server shutdown on runaway memory consumption. Adding real-time metrics hooks to key areas in the code base, and adding alerts to our monitoring system. Developing an offline database jobs system, for zero downtime migration. Redesigning existing APIs to common industry practices (HATEOAS, cacheable urls, etc.). Profiling slow requests and implementing improvements. Addressing production issues from our existing clients. Fixing bugs and adding tests to our automated suite.

Qualifications

Professional Haskell experience is desired but not required. Haskell expertise is required.
BA/BS in Computer Science, related technical field or equivalent practical experience.
Minimum 4 years experience writing scalable, reliable software.

I am looking for engineers that have (at least) 3-5 years experience with building, operating, and scaling complex distributed systems. Hands on experience with building cluster management systems and job schedulers is a huge plus. If you really care about the end user experience, even better. This role is for a new project within the EC2 Container Services team. The team is small but will grow quickly over the next several months. Expect to work with engineers who love building services and designing APIs, and with highly customer-focused and super technical product managers.

You should expect to solve a written problem (administered remotely) + an onsite interview with 4-5 interviewers.
