Jet.com | https://jet.com/ | Hoboken (very close to NYC) | Dublin | Kansas City | Full-time | Onsite

----------

(From our careers page)

We need super smart engineers from all levels to help us build one of the best engineered e-commerce platform in the world (big talk we know, but that is our goal!). Our engineers combine creativity, curiosity, and drive to continuously perfect and revolutionize Jet from the inside out. We are looking to bring more intellectually curious engineers who are passionate about technology in general (Jet is a technology first company and prides itself on its culture of learning and knowledge sharing and we want all our engineers to be as passionate as we are!)

Our platform is largely an event driven platform implemented via a microservice architecture. The platform runs on Microsoft Azure and uses a large number of technologies and middle ware. The bulk of backend code is written in a functional style (F#) and our system of record is an event sourced system (essentially a log of all actions on the platform). We use a mix of Kafka, Redis, Elastic Search, Azure SQL, Event Store and Azure Storage for our data stores. About 50% of the platform runs on Linux and the rest Windows (although we move into more containerization we will see a shift towards Linux).

----------

I've been working at Jet since mid-February, and I can honestly say this is the best job I've ever had. It personally checks off every single box I could have a for a dream job:

- Insanely fast-growing startup. We're the fastest startup to reach a billion dollar valuation, for whatever that's worth.

- Functional programming in F#. Never been more productive coding.

- Tech talks and workshops all the time. I'm learning more than I ever have.

- Transparent compensation structure. You can't see everyone's salary per se, but we have a comp table where you can look up what the salary is for a given position.

- Extremely competent management. It feels like they really care about employees' happiness here, we've got experienced people at the helm, and it is amazing to see what a company can look like when you have a fantastic management team bringing their A-game. Really, it's incredible to have to try hard to find something to complain about.

- All the trappings of modern startup life. Free gym membership, lots of free food, etc.

We're hiring people of all different types of experience for all different types of roles. More information about specific roles can be found here: https://jet.com/careers/. You can apply on the individual role pages.

If you have any questions (commuting from NYC, about Hoboken, what's going on in the company, anything really), feel free to ask here or send a message to "nat" at the domain that I work on.
It's 15% not 30%.

What you're calling for is preferential treatment because they're an established player, which is quite humerous to me given how much HN loves "disrupters"
Senior Product Designer | Front-End Developers | Seattle, WA (US) | Full-time, On-site, Relocation Assistance | https://www.bittitan.com/careers

We're hiring for several positions, including Front-end developers. We have several large applications written in Ember.JS & are quickly becoming the largest team of EmberJS developers in Seattle.

I'm also on the hunt personally for an outstanding Product Designer for my team, preferably with SaaS or Enterprise SaaS experience.

He nailed it in these few sentences

> I remember looking at my boss and my boss’ boss, and my boss’ boss’ boss, and saying to myself, “You know what? I don’t want any of their jobs.” I saw how they spent their time and didn’t find it interesting or very rewarding. They spent their time managing meetings and office politics.

> This wasn’t my vision of what work was. To me, work was doing and making things and being able to see the fruits of that labor. At the end of the day or at least after a short period of time, I need to point to something and say to myself ‘that’s what I’ve been building.’

You're right about Raid5.

My understanding is that Raid-6 is Reed-solomon however: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels#RAID_6

> Several methods, including dual check data computations (parity and Reed-Solomon), orthogonal dual parity check data and diagonal parity, have been used to implement RAID Level 6

> if there was a Raid Level that had 1024 drives of which any 16 can fail, it would probably employ Reed Solomon codes.

Reed-Solomon codes are generalized for any number of drives with any number of failures.

There's a bitwise-efficiency thing with powers-of-two as well. I forgot the details, but I did the math back in college. I'll have to find my notes on this subject... but yeah, the matrix works for virtually everything.

I forgot whether or not Reed-Solomon becomes just a simple xor-parity check in the case of 1-failure, but it wouldn't surprise me if it were related.

Sure it would have been a slow process, but Windows was already available and Microsoft could have done just like Apple did.

Intel would announce x86 EOL and legacy apps would be emulated or JiTted on Itanium.

Their problem was that Intel wasn't the only company producing x86 chips.

UK / East Midlands / Nottingham ONSITE

https://centiq.co.uk/careers/

We're looking for a DevOps / Linux SysAdmin and also a JavaScript developer.

I'm not involved in hiring, I'm on the JavaScript developer team. We're looking for full-stack JavaScript developers. I.e people who know NodeJS and Meteor, or at least can convince us that they can pick these skills up quickly. There are currently four on my team, but one is purely frontend.

Interview process is usually a phone interview then an onsite interview where you will be asked to talk through some code provided by us, and some provided by yourself. You may also be asked to do a short test to code something up before the on site interview.

We're also looking for SAP people. Particularly those with HANA knowledge. Check out the careers page for more info.

We're based in a business park just off Junction 26 of the M1, so it's fairly easy to get to.

If you have any questions, drop me an email, my contact details are in my HN profile.
Again, most of these (if not all?) would have been prevented by better cockpit doors and/or air marshal.
I'm a developer with 5+ years of experience looking for a remote full-stack/DevOps or backend position. I have experience with many different stacks and I never stop learning. I love automated testing and documentation. I have domain experience in high-performance computing and GIS.

>despite that being a logical next step to this ruling

No. No it isn't. This ruling does not state that hacking is legal, it says that it isn't a 4th Amendment violation.

As I said in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12016508

>Someone not having a reasonable expectation of privacy in a thing does not mean it is legal to hack their computer.

And there's an explicit legal exemption of hacking for law enforcement in the CFAA.
The main point of this (and similar - you-dont-need-jquery et al) is [should be] for those people who need a tiny piece of functionality that would take maybe a couple of lines of code, and import a dependency to deal with it. That's not too unusual - in a similar vein I spent a fair part of last year tearing hundreds–thousands of Kb of jQuery plugins (jQuery UI put in for one thing was pretty common) out of Rails apps because of this.

Lodash I'd say is unequivocally great (particularly the FP version, which I prefer to Ramda now), but these kind of posts aren't really for those who really need the full suite of functionality. Or at least it's very useful for those starting out on a project, who can then add in Lodash/whatever if/when the need arises, rather than reflexively adding it at the start.
> It's made by system developers and for people comfortable with debugging low level issues like kernel panics caused by faulty drivers.

Fixed that for you :P

PS. It is considered bad etiquette to ignore the issues of a Windows user and simply "recommend Linux" in a tech community like this, especially when a Windows build has already been promised. You don't know the reasons why someone is using Windows (ex. because of a policy of their employer).

Good point on the $99/year. Still, good luck convincing Wal-Mart to let you user their stores as a distribution point for your free stuff for a low annual payment.

Apple is big enough that billions can easily be insignificant. According to that article, they've paid out $15 billion total to developers. That means that Apple's cut has been about $6.5 billion. That's over a period of eight years, so somewhat less than $1 billion in revenue per year. Currently Apple is making $10-20 billion per quarter in profit, with yearly revenues beyond $200 billion.
> I'm comfortable with the idea that people can distinguish between rules designed to protect society and rules cynically implemented to protect entrenched interests

I'm not. Or rather, I'm not comfortable that some player won't explicitly break rules while trying to use "But the rules are cynically implemented to protect entrenched interests!" as cover. Why am I not comfortable? Because I've met several of these people throughout my life.

Of course they'll want the protections when it's in their best interest.

Email: andy9775@gmail.com

My name is Andy and I recently graduated and am looking for an opportunity to learn and build interesting products. I enjoy working on mobile, front-end or backend and I don't have any real preference - I just like building things. You can see an example of my most recent project[0] which is an app that allows users to print to any papercut connected printer and is an extension of an app that I made about a year ago. While building it, I had to reverse engineer a website and the app does a little web scraping in order to treat the site as a pseudo api. While building the app I also decided to challenge my self to move away from the typical android spaghetti architecture by implementing an MVC approach through the use of message passing via an event bus. Most of the UI is here[0] with most of the logic in a library here[1]. You can also check out my github here[2] - nearing a 2 month commit streak.

I really like gtk-redshift, you can play with the settings in ~/.config/redshift.conf as well I find that a lower gamma even at midday works well and I tweaked even more towards the red than the default.
Without TOR(even with TOR you're still not 100% private, though 99% better than the alternative), your PC/home-router/VPS are 100% public actually, whatever you do can be traced back to you, even the VPS vendor such as DigitalOcean/Linode/etc can connect your IP with you quickly, of course.

VPN can secure the tunnel, still you can be tracked to IP/MAC quickly. Same to P2P network such as torrent etc.

My take is that when you go surfing, considering the device you used for surfing just like your home mailbox, home address, phone number etc, those are pretty much public info that anyone can find out who you are if they are interested in you.

All good points. As I keep saying, I'm an Erlang fan. I actually used it at my last job, and have used it on and off since 2004-ish. It definitely has some advantages, but I'm just curious where it's actually beating Rails, and with what kinds of workloads and test methodology and so on.

Stuff like "Erlang processes are lighter" matters in some contexts, but not in a straight up speed contest. It matters a lot when you start trying to handle a bunch of concurrent connections, so maybe that's where we're getting some of the claims from.
Actual paper: http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.116.250404

Since this is published in PRL, it's been through some fairly stringent peer review. So I'll be mildly sceptical until someone wiser weighs in.

Paging Dr. Aaronson, Dr. Aaronson to the blogosphere.
As someone with a blind relative I always am interested in new technology that can help. So of course this sparked my interest. But there is a glaring problem in that it requires the "VIP" (using their acronym) to take a photo of the object with their phone. This can be extremely challenging for an individual who is completely blind. I know first hand because I have received some interesting photo messages from my relative. For example, often times the photo will be well out of focus, or the front camera was used instead, or the photo is of something completely random and not what they intended. I would be curious how the app overcomes this challenge.
Panic's implementation uses unsafe code, IIRC. But stuff like stack overflow can happen even without explicit unsafe code, I think.

If Microsoft would create a bridge that allowed use of Java libraries from .NET I think a lot of projects would consider moving to .NET. A while a go I did some text processing projects and the existence of frameworks like Lucene and Tika alone were a big argument for Java.
