Toronto, Canada | Kira Inc | REMOTE ok in US/CAN | Clojure/ClojureScript Web Developer

Kira Inc. is a Toronto-based startup using machine learning to automate legal work. We’re looking for a developer to work on our Clojure and ClojureScript web application. Our stack includes reactive single-page web client code and a distributed backend to handle internal computations.
Our team is small, pragmatic, and inquisitive; we love learning new technologies and balance adoption with good analysis. To us, agile is a verb, not a noun, we adopt what works for us rather than strictly following a particular methodology. We prefer to hire near our downtown Toronto office, but also welcome remote work in a time zone within North America.

This position is focused on internal tools such as application analytics and internal integrations. It involves a bit of everything in the web stack:

* Client-side UI code.
* Server-side REST routes.
* Platform and core APIs.
* Document and report generation.

You should have knowledge of some of these. Most of all we look for those interested in learning.

Please send us:

* cover letter — tell us why you’re interested,
* resume/linkedin profile,
* link to github projects or other work samples.

Email your resume to kirasystems@applications.recruiterbox.com with "Web Developer" in the subject line or apply online at https://kirasystems.com/careers.

A small bit of history from Tom Lane one of the biggest contributors to the project "Arguably,
the 1996 decision to call it PostgreSQL instead of reverting to
plain Postgres was the single worst mistake this project ever made."

Man I would have looked a lot smarter if I made this comment 3 days ago ;-)
I like the effort and general idea/content but for me almost any sort of plain text code generation is just not that impressive.

It would have been interesting if you had for example generated byte code or enhanced some existing code (Java classes) but I realize that was is probably out of scope for the article. For example it would be funny/interesting if you had Guile VM generating JVM byte code in realtime and some how the Guile VM could figure out some sort of optimizations based on macros to generate better bytecode.
I don't know what that means. Deploying on UNIX/Linux usually means uploading the code somewhere using a standard protocol (i.e. ftp ) or proprietary API. Part of that you need to execute a program so I'm wondering, what makes deploying more special than any other program?

>Also, the Satan missile is a scary, and surprisingly huge, thing.

Oddly I saw a Polaris missile at RAF Duxford recently and was surprised by how small it was, in particular the warhead cowl. Or maybe the one at Duxford is a scale model or something? I know that Polaris's only had a 1500 mile range, maybe the true ICBM's need massive upscale?
Among other things, there's a substantial performance penalty for secondary index lookups with clustered indices (since they need to traverse two index structures).

Breadwallet | React/Redux mobile engineer | Remote/SF, CA

Breadwallet is looking for an experienced software engineer to work with us to build out the future of money. We’re the leading mobile Bitcoin wallet, and need a few more hands to help us achieve our vision: to be the onramp to Bitcoin.

Our team is a group of Bitcoin enthusiasts. We’re geographically distributed across the US and Canada, with a central office in San Francisco, CA. You’ll be working directly with me, @ssutch, to build out features that allow our users to purchase and sell bitcoin directly within the app. We believe this is the next most important step for breadwallet to truly achieve our vision of being the onramp for bitcoin.

The most important skillset for this job is React/Redux. Candidates must have a firm understanding of how React/Redux apps are built and must have worked on them in the past. We have a lightweight HTML5 runtime that is hosted inside our native wallet software. This provides an environment for us to develop quickly, while sandboxing the development from the underlying sensitive financial software.

Our HTML5 team is young, and so far it’s just been me with occasional help from some contractors. You’ll get the opportunity to shape how our HTML5 team evolves into the future.

Experience with iOS/Swift and Android/Java is definitely a bonus, but myself and our Android developer will assist there whenever necessary. Everyone at breadwallet is a polyglot and you are definitely encouraged to try, and learn, new things!

Here are some bullet points:

* Full benefits package
* Work remotely
* New hardware when you need it
* Travel to SF once a year for our team on-site
* Unlimited vacation

You can email your resume to me sam@breadwallet.com
> ... but for typed languages I think it becomes far more difficult both to implement and understand.

I don't think that types are the issue but rather that such languages were not designed with macro systems in mind from the very beginning. Some added complexity is unavoidable, of course.

> A lot of people don't realize that Java offers a macro/preprocess like system (APT) and it is even sort of hygienic (an example project is Google's Auto [1]).

I didn't. Will look it up.

> 2001 called and wants it example back

I had to use that abomination as far as 2005. I understand that's a dated example, but it is the best example of that slippery slope taken to its extremes that I could think of. It is also a good example in the sense that it used XML instead of expressing itself in the original language. As such, it is also a nice illustration of Greenspun's Tenth Rule.
No idea whatsoever!
There Isn't One Container Platform to Rule Them All
Pretty interesting read. I'd like to know the answer to the 3rd question at the end as well, microwave manufacturers must have known about this all along since the doors embed a chunky piece of metal with small holes and not a lightweight grid of thin wire as one might expect with the "traditional" understanding of the Fraday cage effect.

So did they figure out the theory independently ? Did they design the screens based on measurements ? Maybe there's a patent somewhere that may shed some light on this.

I don't really know how to make it any clearer. Twitter could, if they chose to, "sell eyeballs" by promoting/preferring certain accounts and/or tweets over others. They could sell these preferences and promotions for twokens, which would in turn lend some legitimacy to the promotions because twokens would have to be "earned" somehow. I'm not saying this would necessarily be a raging success, only that Twitter could ground the value of twokens in their ecosystem.
Such schadenfreude and enmity are natural responses to people or entities which seem overconfident and braggadocios, or which play dirty, or which bully. Uber has created the perception that they are or do all of those things.

This is a sound argument, but I think it's operating a level abstract enough to gloss over some of the niggling details that might make the parent's argument valid.

- We don't know that our brains are heavily based on networks of simple pattern recognition neurons. Some parts of them certainly seem to be; especially those parts that seem to correlate to certain tasks that our current ANNs are really good at solving (i.e., basic-to-intermediate image processing). The fundamental mechanism of the brain, if there is one, seems to involve neurons pretty significantly, but we're still not entirely sure what the whole picture is.

- The evolutionary argument is interesting and two-sided; yes it implies that any progress can be 'part of the evolutionary process', so to speak, but it doesn't guarantee that the particular route of the tree being discussed terminates in the desired outcome. It doesn't even guarantee it's on the same tree. It may be the case that image recognition as a task was fundamental to the evolution of high-level human behaviors. It may be the case that it works as a transitionary state, assuming other sets of solved problems unified under the same model, but when treated as foundational, it leads to an evolutionary dead end.

- Following on the 'humans didn't emerge out of the aether' argument from another angle, there's another important consideration to be made. State-of-the-art research is often starting with 'randomly'-wired nets, maybe some lightly-informed initial weights from previous models. It's a kind of tabula rasa, "if you wish to make an apple pie from scratch" picture. The human brain, however, seems to acquire a very specific structure (down to a pretty low level), that is pretty universal amongst, well, humans. So it's not entirely out of the question that some of the things we do aren't strictly learnable from a base, blank initial state; the evolutionary process may well have hardcoded structures pre-wired to know or learn these things. This, of course, is the fundamental principle behind Chomskyian universal grammars.

- I take issue with saying that we are starting to get NNs capable of complex natural language understanding tasks. We really aren't; they are basic-to-intermediate at best, with no real evidence to suggest that they are (A) doing anything interesting with respect to semantics beyond the already well-established distributional semantics strategies, and (B) are not going to dead-end in the near future, like the GOFAI techniques their advocates never tire of feeling superior to.

travis chucknack made a huge misjudgement and lost hundreds of millions of dollars with nothing to show.

only, in this bubblicious market can something like this go unpunished. same as mayer from yahoo.

failure in china for uber's execs should have been forseeable. for all it's 'market policy' , any big western technology company cannot succeed in china without the blessing and connections in the chinese government.

uber's travis either mistakenly thought he had this blessing , or he got suckered into it. OR, quite possibly he was ignorant and conceited enough to jump into the shark pool not knowing he needed the consent of the sharks not to get eaten right away.

either way, this was a huge lapse of judgment and is a CANARY IN THE COAL MINE for other major business judgement failures that will likely soon be unmasked once the tide of market madness turns to market panic.

if i had a million dollars, i'd be betting uber will be one of the biggest financial disasters like enron, but for the startup world.. if only there was place to buy put options of pre-ipo uber stock...........

I'd missed this article. Very interesting to contrast the (stated) strategies and philosophies of each company. Taking Didi's stated approach at face value, it's easy to see why they chose a beneficial partnership with a company like Lyft which seems to share their ethos while seeking to eliminate Uber (and now succeeding at that).
Electric cars are filled with potential to have a decently large positive ecological impact, but as long as they're running on electricity generated by coal, they're just shifting the source of emissions.

However, even if we did move ALL cars off gas, the emissions problem is still very large, and solving it could reduce emissions by 65% [1]. This seems to be a 2 pronged approach, reduce car emissions, and reduce generic energy emissions. This alone won't solve the crisis, but it's a significant contribution.
