Trust me when I say this, I do not idolize the Olympics, in fact I hate everything about sports in general. I'm looking at this purely as an outsider, and what should be a reasonable compensation for any line of work. Yes, this IS a job for these people.

That's fine that you didn't even attempt to pursue your dreams, but these people ARE the top .001% who made it, and they still DO NOT make a decent living at it. That's the point.
Very neat. Thank you for such a nice overview.
Polymath Ventures | Bogotá, Colombia | Full-stack developer | Full-time | ONSITE

Come and work for the coolest startup of LatAm! If you're interest please email me directly at ralph@polymathv.com or see more info at http://www.polymathv.com/join-us/7833982/Full-stack+Develope....

——————————————————————

We are looking for a technology expert to join the ranks of the senior staff at Polymath. Each one of our ventures has large, critical technology components and we need a technologist to lead the ventures through key decisions, as well as roll up his/her sleeves to build. Candidates should have 5+ years of experience developing software, a deep appreciation for user experience, and the ability to build excellent technology teams for the ventures. Spanish is a plus but not a requirement.

Along with being comfortable handling in various program languages, you should be excited working never-done-before projects in the startup environment -- being able to have the vision, flexibility, and smarts to create beautiful software. We like to see our technologists focus on particular ventures but then transition into supporting other ventures -- creating an incredibly exciting, entrepreneurial environment in which to work and learn.
I very clearly remember using Logo in 1st grade over 30 years ago. Looking back, it was clearly what hooked me to get into CS.

Thanks Dr. Papert!
Addepar | New York, NY, Mountain View, CA; Full time; VISA; ONSITE only

Addepar is a fast growing startup trying to overhaul the data infrastructure of finance for openness and transparency. Engineering is at the core of Addepar's culture and we are looking to add the best, brightest, and most passionate software engineers to our teams. If you are excited about doing the best work of your career in web development, distributed systems, analytics, data, automation, or infrastructure, we want to talk to you!

Contact us at: https://www.addepar.com/careers/ OR email careers [at] addepar [dot] com to learn more.
If you haven't read Mindstorms yet and you have any interest at all in how learning, mathematics, and programming are interrelated then please take a moment to go buy it today.

There's little risk that Papert's ideas will fail to last—they are already embedded in so much of how we think about programming—but reading that book helps to emphasize just how far we are away from the ideas he was able to see just by talking with people about how they learn.

Truly, truly inspirational man. I'm sad he's now gone.
Lack of incremental search is kind of a deal breaker for me. Does Atom have it now?

Actually, the only thing I really want from Atom in sublime is to provide a pane that can embed Chromium.

That will give me pretty much all I want to write useful extensions.
The Olympics are truly not about money for the athletes.
And indeed, they cannot be.

Only a select few have any leverage at all to bargain for more money (think Husain Bolt and others at his level).
But these select few are already profiting big-time from the Olympics via endorsements, etc.
So the last thing they want is to put the games at risk.

The rest of the athletes are there because they love the competition.
And there's nothing wrong with that!
It's truly a win-win that hundreds of athletes are living out their dreams by competing for a gold medal in canoeing or archery or what-have-you, and that somebody will even be watching them do it.

Stepping back a bit, there's no reason that anybody should be getting a salary simply because they are one of the very best at their chosen sport.
Sports stars command large salaries to the extent that they have dedicated fans.
If you compete in a fringe sport, you're not going to have many dedicated fans.

(This is why every top-tier athlete makes more from product endorsements than from their team salary.)

((This is also why NBA players earn by far the highest salaries among U.S. athletes - basketball allows for much more player/fan connection than any other major sport.))

I assumed he didn't want people to know, but I was curious to know his response just the same.
Accessing React PropTypes Meta-Data
Yes. Any social network, instant messenger or anything else which uses crypto will have to share keys so that government can decrypt "anything they like".

So, Facebook will either comply, or it'll have to pay the fine (800k-1m rubles ≈ $15000), or it will be banned.

The law also prescribes for all "organizers of information distribution" to store the voice call recordings for 6 months and to store metadata for 3 years. Nobody is sure what "organizers of information distribution" means, but at the very least it includes all phone calls and instant messages.

Yes, it's crazy.
There's a clear difference between "bring me an apple" and "bring me the apple". The latter requires that there is either only one apple available, or requires some special contextual knowledge to comply with.
Marketing Automation Without the Missing Link
It is web 1.0 clicking game for linux enthusiasts. Linux Mint users have been most avid clickers for a while now it seems.
That is exactly what they are doing now. So what is the point. With free for all doping I think it could be at least as safe for them as the current situation.

This "enormous pressure...crippling or killing themselves".. guess what? It already happens normally. More than a couple athletes are seriously injured or die while training for the olympics. Usually in the more dangerous sports like gymnastics. Anyhow, I think it would be great because science thru support by capitalism and prestige would actually apply positive pressure to discovery of safer and more effective anabolic steroids and other muscle growth agents. Instead of just dumb grunt sport, we would have a scientific aspect that actively is pushing humanity forward and upward onto a new plateau. The everyday person would benefit. Disabled and physically/mentally handicapped children and adults could get huge gains in their treatment efficacy because many of the agents that enhance mental acuity or muscle strength also repair or cure deficiencies.
I wonder if they combine these two with SpaceX - Elon Musk might well become the first trillionaire.
Otherlab | SF Mission | Full-time | Software Engineer | Applied Math | Physics

We're hiring a few people for a new project to build engineering and simulation tools for compliant structures. Otherlab (https://otherlab.com/) has several projects building compliant robots, exoskeletons, heat exchangers, and other "soft" machines. Now we have the opportunity to build some software tools to help make these projects even better. Experience with C++ and Python would be useful, as would some exposure to mathematical modeling, computational geometry, or current industry standard tools such as Comsol/Ansys/etc.

If you're interested shoot us an email at hn@otherlab.com
StickerMule (https://www.stickermule.com/) | REMOTE ONLY | Senior JS/Ruby Developer | Full-time

You probably know us from... the sticker on your laptop? your favorite open source logo? every conference schwag bag ever?

Customers love that StickerMule makes it easy to print out high-quality custom stickers.

What they may not know is that we have an awesome, all-remote culture, with folks spread across the world. We're a small team (11 engineers) at a profitable, non-VC-funded company. There's little bureaucracy, engineers get to take ownership for all aspects of their projects, and there's room for good ideas to come from anywhere.

We're currently working on some very fun technical projects to build a new platform for our site. There are a lot of interesting problems: splitting a problematic current codebase into small Ruby services, writing JavaScript domain models with Flow type-checking, and traditional web UI product work.

Best of all, it's a low-stress, blame-free team, with just three standups a week in synchronous meetings. Other than that, I get to set my own hours, walk my kids to school, take a long lunch break with my wife, and do good work from anywhere.

Questions? Hit me up at adam@stickermule.com

You really shouldn't have a "trivial" test that a type system like TypeScript makes redundant, when doing pure JavaScript either.

If you have a function, eg: (a, b) => a + b
The only thing TypeScript will help you enforce here is that a and b should be numbers, and the function should return a number.

Except, the test for this will be something such: "given 10 and 21, return 31". So you're testing the return type already. TypeScript will ensure that you never pass a string to a or b, for sure, but you should not have a test for that (unless you literred your code with type guards and wanted to test those. Don't do that).

Now, unless the function above is your final, public API (where TypeScript/Flow will have the biggest bang for the buck and have the most value add), you're probably calling that function somewhere. That somewhere will be tested too, and the full test harness will make sure strings never end up there.

You'll never actually need to write a test: "Make sure this is a string", and the only vulnerable area is the top level API, and that is a responsibility of the caller.

Delhi built phase 2 of her metro for $2.9B in 3 years (85 stations, 77 miles of track). NYC build Hudson Yards in 9 years for $2.5B (1 station, 1 mile of track).

Various tricks: Delhi didn't wildly overhire and overpay workers, they bought standard train cars/other equipment from Japanese and German corporations that have a proven record in supplying such things, and eliminated a bunch of red tape. It's almost as if Delhi built a metro with the goal of having a metro rather than with the goal of funneling money to MTA workers.
Most athletes don't exactly need a lot in the way of infrastructure to train. A marathon takes a lot of space for the event, but training is just some place to run.

Professional athletes work with sports science labs to measure every aspect of their movement and breathing, dieticians to perfect their energy intake, materials science labs for better clothing and footwear, etc to improve their performance. There's a lot more required to get to, and stay at, world class level than just running a lot.
>But think of the millions you could make! Donald Trump could be the host! Make sports great again!

Well, if athletes are going to cheat with steroids, I say we let Hillary host. Make sports crooked again. Imagine the amount of money that can made at the crippling expense of other people.
It might be good to point out to you that the general industry cares very little about things like this.

Racket could have literally the most advanced and robust type system out of all programming languages in existence, and still be used by the same amount of people as today and have a hard time convincing anyone else to use it.

What makes a language popular from what I have seen are libraries, frameworks, and community.

Edit: Racket has all of the above, so obviously there are other factors as well.
SEEKING FREELANCER -- REMOTE OK. Open Source developer on Open edX (OpenCraft - Remote/worldwide company based in Berlin)

Development specialized on the free software project Open edX, used by many universities and companies to run online courses. See edx.org, stanford.edu or fun-mooc.fr for examples of Open edX instances. We are a team of nine developers, working remotely from Europe, North America, Asia, Russia & Australia. The company is not affiliated with edX, but contributing and working with them on various projects. This is a full time position, were you would be able to work remotely from where you want, as long as you have a good internet connexion. : )

It's a large Python/Django codebase, with good code standards and architecture (a lot of the edX engineers come from MIT). You would work on different clients contracts using the platform. The clients list/references include Harvard, edX themselves, the French government, and various startups & universities currently running their own instances, or looking to create one. Tasks are varied, from developing developing core platform features, custom exercises and tools for specific courses (XBlocks), customizing and deploying instances, working on both client/server sides, etc.

Most of your work is published as free software (Open edX is released under the AGPL license, which requires clients to release modifications under the same license), and you would also contribute to the free software project, pushing some of your developments upstream through pull requests, contributing features, documentation or help on mailing-lists.

Stack: Python/Django, Ansible, AWS/OpenStack, Debian/Ubuntu, JS, HTML/CSS, MySQL, MongoDB

Interview process: a 15 minutes (simple) coding exercise & a 30 minutes Hangout. If that works out, you're given a (paid) test task: a contribution to the Open edX project. The decision is taken based on how you handle the upstream contribution.

2) Answering first to set up some points. Political beliefs can't be neatly arranged on a linear spectrum, but certainly far fewer people who might really prefer Green are going to instead settle for Trump. I agree that it's less clear about the Libertarian party, as they seem to draw a bit from "both ends of the spectrum", but I think it's safe to say that the Green party isn't spoiling things for the GOP to the same extent that they are for the Dems.

1) I agree that there is value in building strong third parties, but that value comes at the cost of the risk of the spoiler effect as I described. If presidential elections happened every year, or if there was a bigger push from the bottom (State and Legislative elections) to elect more third parties, then maybe the risk would be worth it to establish the base, but that's not the case, and a President can do a lot of damage in 4 years.

3) I think both Trump and Bernie have demonstrated a more viable way to accomplish that this election. Both have moved the Overton Window in a direction that the entrenched party candidates were unwilling to prior to this election. For example, Bernie pushed the Dem platform adopt "raise the minimum wage to $12, or maybe more", when they weren't strongly pushing for it prior.

4) I think that 2016 Romney sounds pretty good, but pandering 2012 Romney still sounds pretty awful. Similarly 2000 McCain sounds great in retrospect, but 2008 or even 2016 McCain sounds pretty awful as well.
Just a warning: when some subscription-management service advertises they support PayPal Express Checkout/Payments Pro make sure to check the exact requirements.

Many require reference transactions support. Which requires PayPal approval, and (from what I understood from the person who actually talked with PayPal) they only give it after some revenue levels that aren't trivial to achieve if you're just starting and don't even have any sales yet.

When coding on their own, interfacing PayPal directly, one can avoid this requirement, settling for a somewhat more limited but still fairly functional set of EC APIs.
Meta-programming via your editor doing code-gen for you or lisp doing code-gen for you end with about the same code.

I've not personally tried it. From reading that document, it seems inconvenient but possible.

My understanding is that the hard-coded paths are needed to ensure compatibility of the binary caches, since store paths are often embedded in other artifacts (e.g. RPATH in binaries, shebang line in scripts). You could always run your own cache using another prefix if that's a problem.

It's highly unlikely anyone but a major superpower recovered the missiles from more than 3 miles deep off the US coast.

Considering the US tried with Project Azorian and almost succeeded to salvage an entire submarine from depth, it's unlikely that some warlord had the capability to salvage anything from depth off the US coast without the US knowing about it.
