BabyList - Oakland, CA | Full Time | ONSITE

BabyList is making it easier for new parents to prepare for one of the biggest events in their lives. We have an extremely engaged user-base, we’re growing quickly and making real money. Our core product is a universal baby registry, and we are developing our own e-commerce platform and content site. Our HQ is in the Old Oakland neighborhood, 3 blocks from the 12th Street BART. We're a smart and diverse team of 15. Our users actually notice and love what we do (read our AppStore reviews for proof).

Front-end Software Engineer: Our front-end is driven by React/Redux, Sass, Bootstrap, and we recently released a new section of our iOS app powered by React Native. You would join an excellent product team of 4 software engineers and 2 designers.

Requirements:

- You've coded a lot, you're hands on, and passionate about building world class applications.

- Expert-level fluency in Javascript and one modern front-end framework.

- Experience with OOCSS methodologies and an almost unhealthy obsession with keeping CSS (Sass) clean and scalable.

- Experience with modern front-end build tools (Babel, Browserify, Webpack, Gulp, etc).

- User-obsessed. Once you get to know our users, you deeply empathize and genuinely like them. You could get on the phone with a user (or their grandmother) if they were having an issue.

- You’re opinionated and care intensely about the little details that make a great user experience.

Senior Fullstack Engineer: Our server-side code is powered by Ruby on Rails, MySQL and Redis.

Requirements:

- You've coded a lot, you're hands on, and passionate about building world class applications.

- Expert-level fluency in at least one of Ruby, Java, Python, or another modern server-side object-oriented programming language.

Trigraphs are actually incredibly annoying, because they silently change the meaning of characters (including in string literals). This is especially a problem when you use code generators.

It's why most C++ compilers these days don't even enable them by default. Kicking them out of the Standard is merely the recognition of that practice.

> Virtual inheritance means you have a diamond pattern and haven't separated your components properly.

I've seen this argument pop out time and again as if it was a mantra of sorts, and more often than not it comes from someone with a background almost exclusively founded on Java.

Their line of reasoning essentially boils down to "Java doesn't support it, the people behind Java said something about it, therefore it's bad".

But C++ isn't Java, nor does Java dictate what is correct or what makes sense.

Particularly when the only assertion you could come up with to criticize multiple inheritance was a comment that had nothing to do with C++ or even OO programming, but only to do with your personal taste regarding your superficial impressions regarding software design.

> (a) is already covered, as is (b).

I'm glad to read this. The only thing that remains then is to keep programmers
(those writing applications in Rust) from breaking either of these points...

> That said, we're still working on making it easier.

...and making the documentation clear how to use the build tool in this
manner, even for sysadmin who doesn't write Rust code (I don't know the
current state of Cargo's docs; maybe it already achieved that).
They have a one-third stake in Hulu so it probably doesn't matter what medium wins. I'm sure they'll be there.
Security researcher gets threats over Amazon review
What law forces a store to carry items/services they do not want to sell?

Microsoft has a store for the Xbox, and they decide what they sell on that store. If Sony submits a game for the Xbox store Microsoft can reject it without giving them any reason. And it is perfectly legal.

In Amazon's app store the developers don't even get to set their own prices.
While there are still lot of work to be done on servo. I wonder if other browser engine be able to benefits from the research mozilla has done. Like Webkit / Blink.

Or will this require some major rewrite?
"Recruiters and hiring managers like to present an offer in terms of “your total compensation package” or “total comp” because that number is usually quite a bit bigger than the base salary. It often includes target bonuses, stock options, etc. I recommend ignoring target bonuses or stock options when you negotiate your salary because the real value of those things is often unknowable."

This actually sounds like bad advice for most companies I've worked with. Many financial companies offer contract-guaranteed 1st year bonus amounts, and there's a strong expectation that in future years, if you're doing even a reasonable job, your successive bonuses will keep growing higher. In big tech firms like Google/FB, you get a guaranteed number of RSUs that vest over 4 years, which sets a floor on your yearly bonuses for at least the first 4 years. For senior employees, this bonus can be just as big as the salary itself.

Ultimately, the only number that matters is how much money you're going to get. Whether this money comes in the form of salary, cash bonus, or RSUs, is mostly irrelevant. It's good to be cynical about any unwritten promises the recruiter gives you. But going to the other extreme and optimizing for base salary, instead of total-comp, is a classic case of optimizing for the wrong metric.
This sounds a lot like my story, only with less money involved. I casino whored about a 4k bankroll, and then started playing poker with it. I played recreationally until I quit my job for other reasonse--by then I had a 5-digit bankroll and then I played professionally for a few years, specializing in HUSNGs.

I should have done more casino whoring in the beginning, it was just free money.
The HP 3561A FFT analyzer did that:

Display quality is further enhanced by scanning the
raster vertically at a rate of 36,205 Hz with the
vertical lines formed from left to right. Since most
rapid trace variations occur vertically, this gives a
smoother trace by reducing the jagged line appearance
compared to a horizontally scanned raster.

(from http://www.hpl.hp.com/hpjournal/pdfs/IssuePDFs/1984-12.pdf page 15)

The frame buffer and character generator live in an earlier stage of the display block diagram, so they aren't really impacted by the choice of scan direction.

You also tended to see a lot of vertically-oriented CRTs in arcade games back in the day, so the concept wasn't unique to the Alto. That's the first place I'd look for a replacement CRT.
> When all these games first came out, casinos had to train dealers to do this, many of whom had never played poker. I think I calculated that I'd need to see a mistake rate of something like 1/600 to make the game profitable right out of the gate, ignoring any other advantages, and I was seeing 2-3 mistakes/hr (out of maybe 30-100 hands/hr).

What kind of mistakes are you talking about here? Like, the dealer has a full house but mistakenly thinks he has two pair?
Am I the only person that remains skeptical about these claims?
Soli in particular seems like it could be a huge driver for this, given that the market is "Mobile devices". I'm hugely excited.
I'm not sure about this. I read general purpose news(the us section of csmonitor everyday, and google news almost everyday). I see stories about the lack of tech diversity in regular news, but I haven't seen anything about nursing or teaching.
> Of course I understand it if you prefer not to run beta software,

Oh not at all, this is good news that there is still some activity wrt 54GL (pun intended). Having alternatives to fall back to is always a good thing. I've been on DD-WRT originally since about 2007 and went through many, many years of digging through forum threads, tracking and collecting all the reasonably stable revisions, kept comparing results with nightlies with other GL owners, had some good long stable runs even with a few broken features here and there and a good number of near-brickings saved only by a handy TFTP bootstrap...

I've only dropped my last DD-WRT install roughly some two years ago when I discovered Shibby and replaced all the other alternatives with it (i.e. the other very good VicTek's RAF firmware is not usable in all deployments as it can't fit even IPv6 support into the 4MB build that the 54GL is limited with, making your options limited) and I stopped keeping much track on DD-WRT since. Some other current DD-WRT people I know weren't very happy still, even though some stay with DD-WRT for own obscure reasons.

But by the way, the forum threads you linked to don't paint the situation in the best light with regard to stability:

> My WRT54GL is running since ages on the mini-generic 14929 build, you can find it here:
> ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2010/...
> Together with a daily scheduled reboot I tend to forget were the thing is located in our house

"2010 firmware..."

"daily scheduled reboot..."

Or:

> I just upgraded to:
> ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2016/...
> I've tried a few different bin's and while I did get the standard version to work, it seemed a bit unstable.

"a bit unstable" is pretty much as good as simply "unstable".

Now with Shibby I currently run GL with average half a year uptimes (usually ended by a forced powerplant cycle in the location, never had a crash or a spontaneous reboot on it as far as I remember). Still, as long as recent versions of DD-WRT build and run on 54GL, there's some chance at a good revision that can possibly squeeze few more years out of the hardware, depending on what features will work. Will keep an eye on it, it may still become handy if something bad happens with Shibby's work, which at this point and the age of the hardware wouldn't be that surprising.
Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Audio Startup
There are plenty of very poor people who live in areas where owning a car isn't optional.

Most vulnerable might be a bit hyperbolic because for any given group there's always a group or subgroup that's worse off.
Whenever this pops up, I keep wondering if there's any precedent for antitrust rulings against companies in industries where they don't exactly hold a monopoly, but have essentially created their own market-like structure while also competing in that market themselves. Do comparable concepts even exist in other industries?
Ever wonder why they would leave a toothless law in place like this, rather than strike it from the books? Because it enables detention.

Now that the local constable has a legal reason to stop and detain due to the criminal act of jay-walking, a round of questioning and a search for other violations may begin in earnest. It's part of the shakedown machine.
It makes it look pret29th!
My favorite thing from this (and the reason I shared it) was just seeing how evocative of modern grid based web design is of these design principles, even though they predate the WWW by many years and bootstrap etc. by two decades.
How about low-temp life based on superfluid in Helium, with impurities? In addition, you can get plate techtonics in a number of ways, such as being a large moon orbiting a giant planet.
The C7 has 802.11ac support. I don't have any devices that support 802.11ac yet, but I also don't want to have to buy another router in a long time, which is why I went for it. The C7 sells for under $100 on Amazon, while most other equal-speed routers from other companies are substantially more expensive, e.g. the Linksys WRT AC1200 which sells for $150 (despite actually being slower), or Buffalo's AirStation AC1750 which sells for $160.
That's interesting. I'll research. Thanks.

Practice isn't the same thing as actual events. Being good at practice is more likely to diverge from being good at crisis response as actual crises become rare

Had the crew of Asiana Flight 214 been properly trained in manual landing, lives could have been saved. Practice isn't the same as actual events, but it does produce measurable and valuable results.

You can verify this for yourself with something as mundane as giving a presentation.

True, I was only citing the figure for memory access times on x86 (according to a quick google). There's certainly going to be more overhead depending on how the cache is implemented, whether it's in memory, or swapped out/deliberately on disk, etc.

That said, I'd call it a fundamental architecture requirement (and one you can't really avoid anyway), given fundamental limitations imposed by the speed of light.
I ended up specializing in heads-up limit cash games...until the bots came in...heads-up poker is a special game I think - meta-play can get really high with two skilled players. Definitely the hardest I've ever has to think at a high-level for hour after hour, used to end a session absolutely wiped out mentally and emotionally.
We're discussing competition law.

Microsoft did far less and still got hit with anti-trust on Windows just for bundling IE. Now we have app stores which hold monopolies on their platform and restrict competition yet further for the consumer's detriment.

As to what should be allowed and disallowed, companies should hold their own services and products to the same standard as their competitor's services and products. So if you're going to disallow a Sony branded music streaming service then you also have to disallow a Microsoft branded music streaming service, otherwise you're using your monopolistic position abusively.
"Successful candidates should clearly demonstrate that their priorities are company, team, and self — in that order"...right there you are creating a selection bias for exactly the kind of people you claim not to want. No-fucking-body in his right mind orders things that way. You are filtering for liars who know which lies to tell.

I consider myself very not into office politics and I'm confident a would fail massively to answer most of the proposed interview questions

That's not exactly true. Density arguments similar to this are fairly common in number theory (even if the arguments aren't rigorous). Granted, one has to be careful with arguments like this, but they can often be useful.
Don't quote me on that, I have really nothing to do with game theory, but as I understand it the paper it shows that reflectiveoracle-computable policies are optimal in the discussed setup (Theorem 25) and that they will yield a Nash equilibrium if all policies are asymptotically optimal (Theorem 28) which is possible because a limit computable reflective oracle exists (Theorem 6) and Thompson sampling is asymptotically optimal. So achieving a Nash equilibrium still requires that all agents play along, they have to have asymptotically optimal policies, if other agents show erratic behavior you are unable to make sense of, you can not respond optimally.
