Container Solutions | https://container-solutions.com | Amsterdam, London, Zurich, REMOTE

We are looking for engineers who want to join a supportive, relaxed and experimental environment where they can express their skills. Container Solutions is a premium software consultancy & research company that focuses on programmable infrastructure. We encourage entrepreneurial people; in the last year several projects that started in Container Solutions grew as independent companies.

We are looking currently for:

Systems Developers - Implement immutable infrastructure architecture & write code for leading open source projects: Hashicorp tools, Mesos (frameworks), K8s and own projects.

Application Developers - Write applications for drones, e-commerce, big data and data science as well as for IoT devices

Support Engineers - Provide support for the systems we have built and installed. These systems include DC/OS, Mesos and K8s.

UI/UX Developers - Create beautiful and usable interfaces and are especially interested in building GUIs for distributed systems. Should have an affinity with design thinking and from the beginning, are expected to lead ideation sessions.

All our engineers are expected to share their knowledge at conferences and within the company. Switching between projects/roles is common, people can choose the project they’re most interested in.

We’re active in the open-source area (mainly where we have offices) via: meetups (Docker, Hashiconf, Software Circus), conferences (our own conference in Amsterdam: https://www.software-circus.io ), workshops, code (Minimesos: https://github.com/ContainerSolutions/minimesos ), books (Using Docker: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920035671.do )

Does anyone know why is Apple taking so long with releasing a MacBook with 4k resolution?
Agreed. I was struck by the same line, "cracked out of their minds"... very biased. I don't know if "abuse" used to have a coherent meaning, but these days it boils down to "used in a way I don't like".

Drug use is certainly a mixed bag but it deserves a balanced treatment, not scare tactics.

The article even goes on to list great accomplishments that were made possible (or at least supported) by drug use. Talk about cognitive dissonance...

I think you're right that it's more than 10, but I don't think it's much more than 20%. Q4 last year it was almost exactly 20% as part of a downward trend. There's a good chance it's somewhat below 20% right now.
Hi, do you hire VISA candidates?
"Let’s be honest, most developers don’t love having to write code as part of an interview process. Some have even threatened to quit the business over it. But it’s not going to change any time soon."

In fact a much better way to evaluate a software developer in an interview is by asking her/him to present some examples of work they have done in the past. But don't take my word for it, read here:

Major Landlord Sends Warning About Rental Markets in NYC, San Francisco
There are other features you can use if you're willing to accept a bit of overhead in the name of robustness, namely the code instrumentation feature ('-finstrument-functions')

Using that option, you can provide relatively strong stack protection and even a permissions system to restrict parts of your code from accessing others.

For even more robustness, you can do random stack offsetting, return value checking, return opcode checking, per-task stack bounds checking, heap metadata protection, heap bounds-check, etc.

All this does come at a price tho, every function is instrumented on entry and exit so its not the most performant. It does provide pretty good protection against buffer and stack smashing exploits.

Also, since this is an embedded system with a well-defined memory map, you can perform very strong pointer-checks (not simply NULL checks) against exactly the allowed ranges (a simple NULL check has a 1 in 4.2 billion chance of catching an issue).

Pathgather - http://pathgather.com - ONSITE - New York, NY (NYC)

At Pathgather, we believe that learning matters and that modern companies can't afford to provide the same tired, low-quality experiences they've been using for the last few decades. Our enterprise learning platform is used by some of the largest companies in the world like Qualcomm, Walmart, and Twitter to help their employees find great learning content from any source, share knowledge with their peers, and track their progress towards career goals - and we've wrapped it all up into an experience that employees actually love to use.

We're growing in a big way and are looking for experienced engineers to join our team to help make enterprise learning better. Our "stack" is React + React Native + Relay + GraphQL + Roda + Sequel + Postgres + etc.

That's pretty typical of these reports.

I use it mostly to get a sense of where the financial elites think things are going. It's not so much a predictive tool as it is a summary of what people are chit-chatting about in executive suites.
Absolutely -- I didn't mean to imply that ZFS even comes close to solving the distributed parts of the problem, but rather that a distributed storage system does have to address the problems of putting bits on disk.
One of my favorite games appeared on Apple before the Mac, Wizardry. I even got it on the PC; complete with ASCII 3D hallways that worked just fine. I remember days of Norton Disk Doctor and similar all trying to hack out character data and writing basic programs to do it. I later became even more fascinated with the games after finding out it was written in Pascal (what fun it would be to have that source)

back on track, Mac games never entered my reality after the PC came about for many reasons. One was I had ready access to PCs because my parents were in IBM, but mostly because it just wasn't on anyone's local RADAR. Plus by then the PC clones brought pricing to the point that a Mac looked like a luxury.

and finally the games market on the PC was just so rich with great variety with early BBS providing easy access to many free games or the like

Hey I'm Lawrence, I'm a Full Stack Software Developer interested in working on complex problems, different tech stacks, and developing interesting applications. I have experience from both bootcamp, as a Flatiron School graduate and traditional schooling, a BS in Computer Science. I have a very diverse experience set and am looking to join a team where I can continue enjoying programming. Joining a company with a good culture is very important to me. Feel free to reach out.
I really hope that with Metal and the possibility of external GPUs with Thunderbolt 3, Apple makes a concentrated push for Mac gaming already.

Their ecosystem in a very strong position for killer cross-device multiplayer games too; for example an MMORPG that one can play on the Mac and then seamlessly continue on their iPad, iPhone or Apple TV via Handoff/Continuity, while getting messages and auction etc. alerts on their Apple Watch. Why hasn't this happened yet?
but are people ready to pay for content? and who pays for the assistant? or are people going to just use a free assistant that makes deals with what ever sponsor pays the most?

This guy should have been around for Viet Nam - he could have stood in line with the "progressives" to spit on the returning soldiers.

There has been a lot of ink spilled on this subject and there is no evidence of intentional overstatement of medals or stolen valor or anything else this clown is asserting. At most, it's an error and no more. These claims are coming from the left, progressives, and anti-war retreads from the counterculture.

I'm sure that Kyle was not a perfect man. I'm also sure he's an American hero and deserves considerably more respect than he's being given by the "let's rewrite history to suit ourselves" precincts of American civilian culture.
That is a myth, the effects are the same regardless of whether or not you have ADHD otherwise we'd be able to test for ADHD by simply giving someone amphetamines and seeing how they respond. Almost anyone who takes low-dose amphetamines will experience enhanced cognition. It just happens that this enhancement also alleviates symptoms of ADHD.

As you pointed out the problem with the article is that it makes no distinction between therapeutic low-dose usage and abuse level usage.

It is at least somewhat culturally local to the US because the US allows direct-to-consumer advertising, which for years pushed the "chemical imbalance" line.

Problem is the "chemical imbalance" line is a myth, there's no evidence that depression is caused by a serotonin imbalance or an imbalance of anything else (easily) testable. It was only ever a theory and one that's not very well regarded. See [1], but there are loads more criticizing it.

Vegetables do not suffer. Animals suffer.
I've managed to lose data with Etcd

How did you manage to lose data?
Shhhh! The Commies might be listening! :)

The only reason I ... tolerate markets ( and I tolerate them quite well ) is that they act as a price discovery mechanism, a way of constructing decision trees using dynamic information. I have enough bandwidth to understand that basic trade - someone selling vegetables on the side of the road - is a win-win. Beyond that? I dunno. Hypothetically, Bob and Alice are specialized to each widget, which makes them more efficient.

If we cannot come up with a preference-relation in which a range of possible sale/purchase values is allowed, then we can't really even hoist consumer surplus into use to support the EMH, can we? Isn't it at its core now a phony, game-playing exercise? There's no there there; it's curve-fitting nonsense on stilts at best.

Self-referential systems are known to be deep pools of unmanageable complexity. And M&A seems to be a widely ignored disaster.

I suspect - but really lack the chops to prove - that Adam Smith had it right all along, but that humans will always revert to isolated pools of mercantilist rent-seeking. That "markets" require beings who do not exist, or who have managed to get just enough ethical boilerplate to avoid the rent seeking. Just as Progressivism requires philosopher kings, so do ( apparently ) markets. So we're down to "well, it keeps the people who might otherwise be violent busy."

When asked about American democracy, Ghandi said "I think it would be a good idea." I think capitalism would be just such a good idea.

ObDisclosure: I have an old Usenet contact who is quite wealthy from a hedge fund. This guy's a PhD in applied math. He reports "I refute the EMH thusly" by kicking the logo of his firm.
Yes this is a myth, it has the same effect on everyone.

Side note...

The tech/startup world has realized relatively quickly that 100 hour workweeks are detrimental to productivity, retention, and overall success. Seems like articles such as this come out on a weekly basis, along with other articles on 'progressive' practices such as unlimited vacation, flex working hours, mandatory time off, half-day Fridays, etc... and it's only taken a dozen or so years.

The medical profession, on the other hand, has struggled with this for almost a hundred years. The norm was for residents to work 100+ hour weeks, for 3-5 years. Non-stop. Only recently have they given themselves a pat on the back for achieving a '[mandatory 80 hour workweek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_resident_work_hours#To....

Seems odd that people building apps and games have figured out that working insane hours is bad, but the people responsible for treating the sick and wounded are still chugging along, bleary eyed and overworked.
No. The difference is, that with network block devices you are usually only allow accessing the block device once. That's an easier problem than mapping POSIX file system semantics!

I've gotta say, this list feels pretty paltry. Even if it's a good idea to understand the world by pattern-matching to certain concepts (I don't think it is, tbh), it seems like a really poor practice to only use patterns that are ahistorical (and usually mathematical or quasi-mathematical).

Put another way, I think your toolbox for understanding the world should probably include some history, psychology, sociology. Putting the world in terms of math and only math is helpful sometimes but extremely misleading other times.

It's possible I just didn't understand what he's getting at, though. Particularly, what about this list is "fearless"? From what I can see, none of it even seems controversial.

I can't help but ask myself whether we should be wondering why Americans can't make it without drug-modified behavior, or whether this is better or worse than alternatives such as cigarettes, alcohol, caffeine, etc.

Humans in societies have been chemically altering their moods since we discovered mood-altering chemicals. Stress occurs inside and outside civilized workforces, and people take measures to mitigate stress. The real question is: what are the side-effects and how do we mitigate them?

(Not to imply that we shouldn't also look into options for de-stressing the American worker, since benefit there can scale significantly. But we do ourselves a disservice by imagining we're the first generation to have an entire culture habitually consuming a physiology-tweaking chemical cocktail)

NoRedInk | San Francisco, CA (or REMOTE for Senior, up to 6h difference from Pacific)

Full-Stack Rails Engineer, Back-End / Infrastructure Engineers, Front-End Engineers, Junior Engineers

We’re an ed-tech company on a mission to help all students become strong writers! Our team may be small, but NoRedInk is used by 1 in 3 school districts in the US, and students have answered over 1 billion questions on our platform.

We’re a group of friendly people who listen to and learn from each other. We discuss past mistakes openly so we can adapt our processes to the challenges that come with progress. Puns flow freely across our San Francisco office as well as on Slack, and we have remote engineers spanning six different time zones.

Our engineering team [1] prides itself on code quality and innovation. We use the cutting-edge Elm programming language for all our new front-end code, and have been migrating legacy React code to Elm as well. We started with Ruby on Rails on our backend, and have lately been working to introduce Elixir to our stack. You can read about our experiences with these technologies on our team blog! [2]

In addition to spending work hours open-sourcing useful libraries we develop [3], we also invest financially in open source. We hired the creator of Elm, Evan Czaplicki, to develop Elm full time. [4] Evan discusses his plans for the language with the team every week, periodically pairs with other engineers on Elm, and cracks up members of the sales team with his lunchtime jokes.

We use Amazon AWS for our infrastructure and automate all of our deployments using OpsWorks and Chef. We write a lot of tests, and use Jenkins for continuous integration. Our process for new features begins with our product team and in-house visual designer, continues with a GitHub pull request from a feature branch into master, and ends with our in-house QA specialist trying to break it before it reaches production.

We’re hiring both Senior Engineers who have been around the block many times, as well as Junior Engineers who are just getting started. We’re looking for Junior Engineers who are eager to learn, who thrive on great mentorship, and who want to work on a mission that makes a difference. We’re looking for Senior Engineers who are the type of collaborators that value kindness and open-mindedness, over convincing the group they’re right.

You can learn more about what it’s like working here through Hardy’s on-boarding blog post:
