Help save lives by predicting the future. http://www.med.upenn.edu/predictivehealthcare/

We’re seeking both Software Engineers and Sr. Software Engineers to help us build out our realtime predictive application platform that will aggregate medical data from Electronic Medical Records (time series, imagery, text), social media data, wearables, and IoT to enable data driven app development.

* Collaborate with our data scientists, algorithms developers, and clinical partners to build our predictive healthcare platform that can reliably scale to the needs of the organization.

* Guide the planning and development at all layers of the data platform and user experience.

* Choose and deploy compute infrastructure (e.g. Spark, Kafka, Graphlab, MongoDB, Cassandra).

* Build frameworks designed to speed up and facilitate algorithm development.

* Develop a micro-service architecture designed to democratize predictive models for everyone in the organization.

You will report under Michael Draugelis @mdraugelis, Chief Data Scientist, and work directly with the rest of the Predictive Healthcare team.

If you are passionate about helping us save lives please email me at Michael.Becker2 (at) uphs.upenn.edu

Booking.com - https://booking.com - Amsterdam(Netherlands), Shanghai (China), Seattle, WA (USA), ONSITE

Full-time, relocation to Amsterdam, (H1B or its dutch equivalent anyway) is taken care of by the company.

General Interview Process -> Hackerrank test, call with the recruiter, phone interview, onsite interviews

I work at Booking.com, which is a world leader in travel accommodations, as a backend developer. I have only positive things to say about working here. The people are intelligent and helpful, interesting problems to solve and the work hours are unbelievably sane. The company is strongly data driven and very dynamic, which was one of its biggest charms for me. Amsterdam is not a bad place to be either :) The Dutch government also gives a tax break through the 30% ruling to non-dutch people.The work environment is very international and everybody speaks fluent English. The relocation process is also very finely tuned through years of experience of doing this.

If you have any other questions about the company or the hiring process or you would like me to refer you, please feel free to send me an email at siddharthsarda01 at gmail.com (Email also in my profile at Hacker news).

Opinions differ I guess. I would love it if

if constexpr ( COND) { CODE };

would compile even if CODE only compiles when COND is true. There a lot of nice use cases for that, and that's how the static_if in D works.

You can still do this sort of stuff with template overloads, but it's much more cumbersome.
Unless you're willing to take your computer with you everywhere, it's still easily compromised with hardware modifications when you're out of the home. Your router's firmware probably has multiple 0 days the NSA/FBI could exploit. Intel's Management Engine is an effortless backdoor into every laptop and desktop you have. Securing your smart phone against privacy issues is a lost cause.

The only real option you have left is using a typewriter with a one-time pad in a sound isolated room with a sheet over your head. And even then what you type isn't anonymous, it's just encrypted to withstand everything up to, but not including, some government agent holding a wrench (insert xkcd comic here)
Frameshift Genomics and the Marth Laboratory are hiring web developers to work on the iobio project (http://iobio.io), building a real­time genomics analysis platform. The project consists of developing web applications with functionality ranging from visualizing terabytes of biological data to fine grained interrogation of disease­ causing mutations that open the world of complex genomic analysis to medical professionals and scientists with limited or no experience in computational analysis. These applications are built on our technology stack, consisting of a node web service backend, which streams analysis results via websockets to the web applications, where results are visualized using D3.

The successful applicant will be involved in further developing the iobio framework (client libraries and server), building new web apps, creating new visualizations, and hardening current web apps. Remuneration will include both a competitive salary and stock in Frameshift Genomics. Contact us at frameshiftlabs@gmail.com

I am wondering what will be the HN recommendation for Apps or website to book an international flight from the US.

Seconded. Does anyone know if the phone home "feature" has been removed from CyanogenMod?
> I (or anyone in the future that will ever touch the code) must learn JS. OK. Now they must also learn framework X.

Well you can forget the parts of JS covered by the framework. I don't really care about the native Array.map or whatever functions, because they won't always behave as I expect, while the lodash (or equivalent) will. I can't recall off the top of my head how to use XMLHttpRequest. But I don't need to and haven't needed to in a while, because every project I've worked on uses jQuery or another framework which provided better ajax methods.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

30-something with kid here...

I enjoy cracking open a beer and playing some foosball with my team members before going home. I don't get to go to meetups as much as I used to and it's a good chance to socialize.

Also, as a manager it helps me keep my pulse on things. People open up after a beer. Foosball has become a problem... I've gotten really good and sometimes it takes some coaxing to get people to play... "hey, if you don't play you can't get better"
I will say it more accurately:

The first step to success is making it safe to fail.
> Lauren, you may have to change who you’re voting for.

To whom would you change? Based on this article I would guess Gary Johnson, or are you not going to stand by these convictions? I was disappointed to see that she didn't answer this question in the article.

Also, for people who drop out, they clearly didn't get much out of College. Personally, I kinda wish I had waiting until I was 35 or so to go to college, mostly because now I really know what I'm interested in.

But there is a huge foundation you get from higher education. People who drop out and are successful always undervalue the experience they skipped out on. Why? Because they don't know it! Should everyone be in higher-ed? Probably not, or maybe we need more specific options for training in specific areas (like 2 year academy's, associate's degree).

I think for a lot of people higher-ed is access. Some people get this access through some other means. He cost IS ridiculous, she is right, but she's not offering an alternative to get the education. We still need education, and I don't believe it's enough to just get it on the job.
It's more dangerous for Oracle than anyone else. You can only be a bully for so long before customers and potential customers become scared of you and go elsewhere. When you scare off customers, you die. I won't implement anything Oracle and my company for just that reason, they're unethical and a liability. Predatory licensing rules, lock in, stick it to the customer pricing, and the potential for litigation at the drop of a hat.

"Apple iWater. Drink it for life."
Having beer, fine. Describing yourself as a frat house seems both a bit sexist and immature. I believe you but it's a bit appalling. But I supposed it's a good signal for people looking to apply.
I'm curious. Why is the lack of women in software development seen as a more urgent issue than the lack of men in school teaching or nursing, or the lack of women in blue collar work eg garbage collecting?

This isn't meant as 'whataboutery'; it's clear that talented women programmers are being missed... but what are the reasons that tech is getting the focus?
I think this is akin to saying that windows and doors are vulnerable to rocks and bump keys/battering rams, respectively. In the case that police take advantage of the real world counterparts, they're expected to have warrants despite the "vulnerability" because the owner has the expectation that most decent people (the general public) won't exploit it. The standard is whether a member of the public could happen to see inside, not whether it's feasible for them to if they really wanted to.

If only job interviews would also result in real feedback. These days, probably due to anti-discrimination laws, you never get a reason. It's always just "thanks for your time". That's all. You're left guessing what went wrong and likely end up not focusing on what was the real cause which you do realize and want to self-improve.
