Nylas | https://nylas.com/ | San Francisco, CA (Soma) | Frontend (JS), Backend (Systems+Ops)

Hi! We're Nylas. We build N1, the extensible, open source email client, and the infrastructure powering it. We're looking for fronted application engineers (React, Electron, JS), designers, backend systems engineers, & infrastructure/operations engineers.

We recently launched N1, have accumulated over 20K stars on GitHub, and are looking for core application engineers to design an extensible platform around email, calendar, and contacts.

You'll not only use modern web tech to build a better email experience, you'll design the developer platform to power the next generation of email apps. See more about N1 here: https://nylas.com/N1 & code: https://github.com/nylas/N1

We take pride in the diverse culture we've built and are looking for more than raw technical talent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7sHc4P4zPg

== We're particularly looking for folks who ==

* Take personal pride in their work and value autonomy and ownership

* Want the chance to step up and lead a team

* Put the work before ego. We've got each others' backs, and we want you to be with us on that

== A bit more about us ==

* Our backend is built on Python, Flask, gevent, nginx, MySQL, AWS, and Debian. We've been careful to keep our architecture componentized.

* N1 uses javascript (ES6), React, Flux, SQL for offline caching, Electron, and no jQuery

* Tons of our code is open source. Check it out: https://github.com/nylas

* We're a small team

* We have a paid vacation policy & value personal responsibility and ownership.

Benefits include free Lyft to & from the office, full health, dental, vision, and lunch every day. Some remote work / work-from-home is OK too.

Apply at https://nylas.com/jobs or ping me directly (peter@nylas). We're a diverse team, and encourage applications from all backgrounds.
How about securitising the assets in clusters just like MBS.
The few guides I've seen on setting up virtual servers as devlopment environments have all recommended setting networks as bridged instead of NAT'ed.
If your priority is to run Linux binaries under OpenBSD, you could improve the support, perhaps even implement 64-bit emulation. But since you didn't do that, and nobody else wanted to, the unused crap was removed instead. Imagine that???
I'm assuming ... I'm also assuming... Assumptions kill ...
Thanks for feedback. I hear the same from some potential customers, and my response is that I'm not opposed to an on-premise deployment (technically the code is prepared for this, eg. how the configuration wizard finds the 'service' endpoint address and so on), but that would be a completely different ball game (deployment, maintenace, servicing, branding etc and ultimately a very different price point).
I always kinda wondered when the other shoe was gonna drop on "why do databases even have passwords"...
plus book and movie deals.
You also first need to be at the right place and time. To do so, you need to know what that is for the opportunity you want to invite and have means to get there, as well as means to recognise it.

Those things do not come free.
taigia is actually _impossible_ to set up. I haven't been able to do it on a fresh 14.04 Ubuntu instance from DO after trying at least once per month.

Edit: Let me rephrase. I've tried at least once a month to install taigia following their instructions and also by trying to use some 3rd party docker files. I've been met with failure every time.
The upthread question also mentioned heat, so one could also say that "smoke" was pretty clearly used to refer to something like dense, hot cigarette smoke dragged right off a lit cigarette and inhaled directly, not the sort of "smoke" that's involved in city air.

Lololol. I guess "When in Rome - The Promise" is the next Rick Roll?
I'm working on a bookmarking service right now (literally, open in the other window).

Instant search, highlighting, a UI that encourages 'rediscovery' of articles that are saved but not read ("hey you, here's what you bookmarked 7 days ago") and a reading feature similar to readability. There's space here to build a product that people love and that sticks around.

Parsing web pages is proving tricky in some cases, if anybody has any library suggestions, shout.
Green that will be entirely in the red within 6-8 quarters.
But that's just poor English on the part of the author. The question she was really answering was "Did Google Help Translate a Classic Novel?". To which the answer, in her case, was no.

My guess is that that may be because she is fluent in Spanish and English and is a professional translator.

For the rest of us mortals who do occasionally attempt to read classic works in their original language, the answer to the headline is often "Yes, though not particularly well, but better than me".
The Lost Art of Writing by Hand is a thing too. A sad one at that.
Linux emulation was only complete for one port - i386. Not amd64, not armv7, nothing else. And, it was emulating a very old Linux kernel interface. What could it have possibly done that you can't do by simply compiling the program using the native toolchain?
Taking to court :) :) ... forget it...

A registry for open source hardware electronics projects (which itself is open source under a CPAL license): https://kitnic.it

1. Looking for people to put up their PCB designs

2. Help out with web development. Smaller planned enhancements are detailed on GitHub [1]. More generally we are moving towards a proper server side architecture, the first step being a service where people can enter their Git URL and see how it would look on Kitnic. Things like accounts, live-pricing, assembly aides and linking with PCB manufacturers are planned as well and I would love to discuss these in more detail.

Yeah; but the problem for me is I only ask difficult questions (easy ones I won't need a Q&A site for), and those are impossible to get answered unless you place a "bounty" on them. And you can't place a "bounty" until you earn the imaginary points.

I mean, the real problem, that aside, is I disagree with the entire concept of gamification. The entire premise makes for terrible communities full of rules-lawyering assholes who are only there to earn useless points. Wikipedia's turned into that. StackOverflow's turned into that. It's a bad idea, it didn't work, we should give it up.
Thanks for the feedback. Entering more into performance monitoring dimension is something I hear often. Corroborate observed perf changes with logged configuration changes is something I do not see well covered in the traditional perf monitoring toolset in this space (SQL Server tools), so is definitely an opportunity I'm considering. It's just not a trivial change and will take some time to get it out.
> I don't see how. That inherent complexity is precisely that computed by the machine

The same function may be computed by different procedures with different complexity.

> rather than in the type theory sense, in which case a function is a set-theoretic functions plus a proof of set membership

Not all types denote sets.

> There is no room for (significant) interpretation here: the typed formalisms can perform computations of possibly arbitrary complexity during their validation stage.

This is the price of capturing the meaning of computation. Of course it doesn't come for free. But, in general, the earlier you do it, the less work it requires. In the limit, if you do it really late (e.g., test suites), it requires an infinite amount of work (searching infinite input spaces).
Valuation by comparables is an acceptable model if both parties agree on it.

However, it's still far from a done deal as each transaction has its own minuscule details, and in commercial property, e.g., one party might value such things as location, quantity/quality of parking spots, proximity to traffic flows, quality of neighbors, recently incurred maintenance, etc. differently from the other.

With that said, a 409a valuation firm (or potential acquirer) is likely to look at the peers, current and historic ones, to at least start at some ballpark figure.

Uber actually transports people.

Ford actually builds cars.

Google... likes letting smart people do smart things.

While Ford may be the underdog in the race, I like its chances. It has the operational experience to take a "works-in-concept" to "works-in-reality". The software part, while difficult, is not the hardest part of "TaaS". The systems part is.
Netty: new way of dealing networking in java
A full tax case can easily take 10-15 years.

Which is utterly absurd by any reasonable standard. Governments claiming the money may be faceless machines grinding away, but on the other side it's either a private individual or a business dealing with it.

If it's a private individual, or a small business where the lives of those running it are very directly connected to the business's performance, then any tax investigation forces them to live with a sword hanging over them throughout. That is going to cause considerable distress and potentially to undermine any long term financial planning they want to do, among other harm. Expecting someone to put up with that situation for a few months is bad enough. Expecting someone to put up with it for a decade or more is wildly disproportionate, even in the case of a significant underpayment if it was due to an honest misunderstanding rather than clear and deliberate tax evasion.

Even if we're talking about a large business whose staff might not suffer personally as a result of the case, it's still going to waste staggering amounts of time and resources to participate in an investigation over such a long time. It's going to damage long term financial planning, it's going to be unpleasant for the staff, particularly anyone potentially responsible for any mistakes, and it's going to cost the shareholders a small fortune, and again all of that remains true even if the final conclusion is that no-one did anything wrong or little real harm was done.

I just don't see any justification for these endless legal proceedings or going back far into history. IMHO there should be a statute of limitations of a few years in place after which what's past is past, there should be a strict limit on how long any investigation can last before either formal legal proceedings are held or the matter is dropped permanently, and ideally both of those time limits should be in some way proportionate to the scale of the alleged shortfall.

I'm a licensed pilot. What's interesting about that video has literally nothing to do with Fedex. It's a demonstration of the skill of the center and approach controllers at Memphis during inclement weather.
Lololol. Guess "When In Rome - The Promise" is the new Rick Roll?

The tune wad immediately recognizable, but i didnt know which song. The lyrics tho - "hmmm..na..hmm.. The right words to say" I did remember. Googled "the right words to say lyrics" and bam - the promise - perfect match.

So was original song created via wormhole travel to grab crowdsourced song from the future? Or is the crowdsound song intentionally being shaped to match? Or all one big coincidence?
I also have to suspect things like isolated, dedicated and redundant comm links with the flight termination system are part of these guidelines. Perhaps even a "dead man's switch" that terminates the flight if this separate communication system loses signal at some point. (Even if this means a costly false positive or two~)
Exactly. Except that if you as third party do not receive the the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form, then you have no rights under section 3.

So a company that sells GPL'd software is only required to provide the source to any of their purchasers (however, those purchasers are not restricted in any way and can give the source to someone else). So the only way I could get the source code from that company is if I purchase their product.
This comes at a uniquely bad time. I was reading about the cash squeeze (http://www.wsj.com/articles/elon-musk-faces-cash-squeeze-at-...) and it struck me that any interruption at SpaceX would put further pressure on what Elon is trying to pull off.

I really hope they can root cause this failure and get the flight schedule back up and running quickly.
Even if you're not literally typing things by hand, having an attitude of "I won't use this code until I understand what each keyword is actually doing" is very useful. As the article says - learn what each word in "public static void main( String[] args )" actually means.

This is the primary reason why old-style Visual Studio Windows programming really freaked me out: you start with a massive template, full of complex-looking code, and you're expected to just ignore it and write your own code in the little marked-out areas. I really like the new approach in C# using partial classes: all you have in your source file is your own code, and it's really easy to see how that maps to the UI that you're building. The rest is under the surface and can be treated as library code.
iRobot | Bedford, MA and Pasadena, CA | ONSITE

iRobot is hiring software engineers like they're going out of style. Which they're not. Quite the opposite, really. Most positions are for our Bedford, MA headquarters, which is just outside of Boston, MA.

We're looking for people to do embedded (aka firmware for buzzword compliance), cloud, iOS, Android, test, and hardcore robotics as well. Those aren't the same person, mind you. We're also looking for electrical engineers and mechanical engineers.

Check out our careers site and email me if anything looks interesting: http://www.irobot.com/About-iRobot/Careers.aspx

Please email me at csvec, the at sign, then the company domain.
Why is it poor strategy beyond liquid markets for jet fuel?

You could equally argue that is exists that way because they need to deploy extremely large amounts of capital. So, an infrastructure company in a region that is going through phenomenal, albeit temporary growth, makes a lot of sense. Once that growth levels off they could transition to higher-tech endeavors.
It's also common to open these up so that team members can grab a copy of your database. I haven't done that, but I can think of a case in the past few months where a developer had done so.

Edit: Now that I think of it and especially with containerized dev environments and VMs, I'd bet it quite common. I'm sure I've opened up a DB or search container more than I needed to just because I couldn't get the damn things to talk. I still would have a firewall, but not everyone does.

Note that a human doesn't "plug in" to the rest of the launch vehicle the way a satellite does.

I imagine they _would_ do these tests with the crew compartment attached and dummy human loads strapped in to the crew seats.
Did at least. From wikipedia:

"""Privacy concerns

In August 2012, blogger Ivan Kirigin pointed out that it was possible for acquaintances and followers to see his activity including which questions he had looked at.[46] In response, Quora stopped showing question views in feeds later that month. By default, Quora exposes its users' profiles, including their real names, to search engines."""

I cannot remember the details anymore but it is one of a few times when the privacy implications of something has scared me. It goes something like this:

I'm about to hire Bob, I just want to do a quick background check to see that there isn't anything I have missed. Bob has an account on Quora. Quora ranks high on google. I search for Bob on google and find his account. I click in to view it and can see that he has been reading a lot about depression lately. I decide not to hire Bob, just to be safe.

Edit: They might have fixed it now, I don't care. The combination of full name policy and literally telling the world anything I clicked on + the way they completely didn't care back then, IIRC even after reports started to pile up, convinced me to delete my account and then send a message asking them to confirm that my account was completely and permanently removed from the system.
