Backend Engineer with a love of Python: DENVER ONSITE $100k-$150k and equity (based on experience)

Us: At n.io (single letter domain!) we believe there should be seamless connection of any device, any measurable and any signal--unrestricted in volume, real-time and intelligent. The n.io platform empowers that vision.

Connect any device and any type of signal.
Apply logic, control, and automation anywhere.
Deliver transformational value.

Our Mission: Create universal interoperability, intelligence & automation for humans, machines & data.

You: If developing transformative software is your thing, this is the job for you. The n.io platform itself operates as a backend but our engineers work across the entire stack. Responsibilities include writing code to support the integration of the n.io platform as well as systems that rely on it, diagnosing issues both internally and externally, and architecting complex systems for a unique portfolio of projects (industrial, agriculture and retail to name a few) that work in true real-time.

Hasn't it?

I see your point. Tuition costs is a good example and I have no doubt that they have risen to capture the money made available through loans and grants. But what makes that different is that student loans can /only/ be spent on tuition and related expenses (college textbooks have done a nice job of capturing that excess as well).

Yes, rent is needed and somewhat sticky (people don't like to move a lot), but when you are getting a cash infusion your choices are as large as the market. It is not 'captured money'. I think that if Basic Income is going to have a problem similar to tuition costs to student loans, rent and the housing market in general is where it will show up, perhaps with grocers, too, in constrained areas that have few choices, but I think it will be less of a problem because the 'capture' is very loose compared to tuition and student loans.

SugarCRM | ONSITE NYC; Cupertino; Hong Kong; Munich; London; Mexico City | Fulltime

SugarCRM is hiring for a variety of positions, both technical and otherwise, in a number of locations. You can see all our open positions here: http://jobvite.com/m?3ZlTshwr

I've been at Sugar for a nearly 4 years now and it's honestly the best job I've ever had. If you have any questions about working here, feel free to email me at jwigglesworth@sugarcrm.com ; put "Hacker News" in your subject line so that I actually see your email. Please note, I am not part of the hiring process, just a member of the team trying to get the word out.

Please, no recruiters or placement agencies.
Thanks. I learned another cool jargon. Whatever "floats" their boat, I guess!
Instead of mining the bio guide, I would mine Wikipedia. There is a page listing all members of the current U.S. Congress [0], and that page links to each member's own Wikipedia page. Almost without exception, each current member's personal page names the universities the member graduated from in the info box.

So mine the membership list for the members' names and the URLs of their personal Wikipedia pages, then mine the info box on each personal page for university affiliations. The links will allow you to disambiguate universities with similar names.

Pages also exist listing the membership of almost all former U.S. Congresses, so you could repeat the process going back in time; it would be interesting to see how affiliations have changed and diversified (or not) over the years. A similar process would work for finding the academic affiliations of members of the U.S. Supreme Court and the president's cabinet, as well as of state governors; it might even work to find comparable information for some sets of foreign poliicians (e.g., British MPs or members of European Parliament).

(And I agree with arcanus; you should change your page to sort by the count of affiliated members of Congress, not U.S. News rank, as it's the former that is the information being presented, not the latter.)

It's why I don't use SQLite without some sort of ORM layer to do the typechecking and to sanely migrate schema changes.
> If I'm going down the SPA route I'd just build the frontend separately using ember-cli or webpack or some other "native" solution and forget any asset pipeline.

It's a good approach. There is no need to treat front and back-ends as a single application, bound by the same rules - they use completely different stacks and completely different tooling.
> It's just a better safety net to prepare for an increasingly uncertain future

Honest question: when has the future not been uncertain? When times were good? I'm guessing that the collective outlook about the future has a lot to do with current conditions, which is counterintuitive. If current conditions are worse, aren't they likely to get better? Likewise, if conditions are fantastic, don't they have a greater chance of getting worse? That is, of course, assuming that there is some equilibrium we hover around, which history has suggested.
Then make an argument for it.

If you want to do your best, then don't try to lure the discussion in a different direction with semantics, random questions and flashcards, just state a clear point of view and it will become the starting point of the debate if others agree or disagree.

TrackMaven | trackmaven.com | San Francisco, CA | Full time onsite

TrackMaven is all-in-one marketing analytics. Think of it like Github for marketers: there's plenty of AWS competitors (how you ship), but there's no place you go to to do marketing on a daily basis.

TrackMaven is a well-funded DC startup, and we're opening a brand new team in San Francisco to build a brand new product help marketers tie their campaigns to revenue. In the B2B world, where sales take months and it takes whole teams to buy a product, it's a big challenge to figure out what's really working, and the results will directly change millions of dollars in marketing budget.

We need one fantastic engineer to join our pre-launch team and own the frontend. We have paying customers and a sales / account management team that can't wait to sell this product. If you're interested in building something where you can see the results in the next 6 months, let's talk.

Thanks for the feedback!

It wasn't designed for code. It was more a educational project for me to learn interpolation to "easily" create several weights of the font based on two weights. At the same time I was looking for ways to help out in any way I could with the ongoing situation re refugees here in Europe.

The "code" thing I thought was a bonus, and you're totally right. It might not work that well for code and it was never intended to compete with fonts that are intended to be used for code.

Again, I'm super grateful for you feedback and will take a look at the examples of strange looking glyphs that you pointed out. Thanks a million!
I have a feeling more SAIS alums end up in policy or foreign service jobs rather than pursuing politics.

How do you figure that? In addition to making database performance less predictable and introducing all of the problems that BLOBs bring, you lose most of the benefits of the database in the process.

File systems are about storing files. Databases are about intelligently organizing data for retrieval and reliably delivering atomic transactions.

Any system that I've seen scale up well separated blob data to a traditional or object file system. In addition to scaling the database more effectively, this allowed the infrastructure teams to optimize delivery of blob data from a platform POV.
That's strange! I'll take a look, I know I designed that character! Thanks for the heads up!
What are your current thoughts on objects and simulation in distributed environments? You have historically worked or advised on projects using approaches that never reached the mainstream. I'm thinking primarily of the nice properties of pseudotime and the synchronous p2p messaging in Croquet.

Most people building commercial distributed systems today accept a different set of tradeoffs, generally preferring fast performance and the avoidance of possible deadlocks even though it means giving up some of the nice semantics and consistency of the operations.

Do you still think it is possible to build a system with the organically-growable scale of the internet but with some of the nice, predictable pseudotime-like semantics?
This was presented at the PyCon 2016 lightning talks.

Don't have time at the moment to look at the second link but the data in the first one is pretty useless.

The also have good jobs and won't be a drain on the economy. Not very relevant to the current discussion therefore.

Why the world is drawing battle lines against Tech Giants
So the EU (the government) directing a private company to censor things is OK with you? Or did you not understand what I was referring to/making a comparison of?

Bro.
who gives a shit? The pedantic question of "is that freedom?" only applies to nincompoops who think that ethics or economics revolve around whether or not we achieve some singular dogmatic principle like "freedom". It's far more valuable to ask actually useful questions that have practical answers.

Résumé/CV: https://mkii.org/resume
Email: patrick@theunlink.com

I'm very much a generalist / full-stack engineer, but I like to think that the 'full' in my 'full-stack' extends beyond most. I'm an Electrical Engineer by degree, but have a strong personal interest (and work history) in software topics. See https://mkii.org for more about me and my background.

I'm not actively looking for a job, but am curious to see what is out there.
I totally agree to that! Never really thought this educational experiment would be featured on HN. It has kinda blown up! I'm glad you took a gander though!
2008 was because of incredibly dangerous mortgages being handed out due to a mix of deregulation and the government still guaranteeing corporate profits (bailouts or otherwise) so the mortgage lenders involved didn't need to actually accept the risks. It was at the point where a bank would write you a mortgage on practically anything for any amount because they were effectively free money with no risk to the lender.

That environment did artificially inflate the growth of urban sprawl McMansions above any working class persons paygrade, but it was nowhere close to direct intentional housing subsidy beyond trying to achieve some pipe dream of families on 30k combined income affording a 5k square foot house.
