Looks like a nice tool for a DBA's arsenal. It would be more valuable if it also showed the impact of each change, where possible, in terms of performance, security, etc.

In other words, it would add more value if it could translate the actual events into human concepts of impact.

Y Combinator is hiring hackers (San Francisco, ONSITE)

We have a small team that makes the software that runs YC. Hardly any investors write software, but YC was started by hackers so it's natural for us to solve our problems that way.

Y Combinator changed the startup world, and now we want to do it again with software. For an example of one of the things we've been working on, see this blog post: http://themacro.com/articles/2016/08/investor-day-software/

We're looking for a couple of great hackers to join us. It's not a job for everyone, but it would be a good fit for someone who loves startups. Working at YC, you'll get a lot of exposure to some of the best people in the startup world.

If you're a hacker, have a look at the job description: https://jobs.lever.co/ycombinator/8703c1d9-af67-4826-90e4-74...

If it feels like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you.
it started working now (strange, using osx btw, not that it matters anymore)
Enforcement of the license people agreed to will cause people to avoid using the license?

The only way that makes sense is if people thought that the GPL was the thing to use was due to it being toothless, a notion that it's strictly better to disabuse people of.

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks.
I was evaluating using this library recently. At the time I wasn't sure if they forced you to take a commercial license or not. On their website it says:

if you are using the library for your business you can subscribe to one of commercial licenses plus support, code review and support by Intro.js team.

However, then on their github it says:

If you want to use Intro.js for a commercial application, theme or plugin the commercial license is the appropriate license.

which does not sound so optional.

The page says you can "subscribe" to their commercial plans, but it doesn't specify if the payment is a one-off or recurring.

Too much hassle.

In the end I opted for http://bootstraptour.com
ScaleFT | SF | Software Engineer | ONSITE

ScaleFT is a software security startup. We have created a new model of device attestation with ephemeral certificates for SSH & RDP (today), to provide authentication, authorization and user management.

If you already know about Google's BeyondCorp papers, then you will understand how it works quickly.

We are looking for full time Staff Engineers in San Francisco.

# Client Engineer

This role is primarily in Go, but there is a mix of platform specific C, ObjectiveC and C#. Generalists & systems people have fun here.

The ScaleFT client software encompasses our ScaleFT Server Agent (sftd), our command line tools (sft), and our native client user interfaces on macOS, Windows, Linux, ChromeOS and FreeBSD. Our client software is how our customers interact with the ScaleFT platform, with the goal of make managing cloud infrastructure safer and more secure. This client software integrates our platform’s certificates into the native operating systems cryptographic stores (eg, Keychain on macOS).

https://www.scaleft.com/careers/staff-engineer-client/

# Backend Engineer

This role is primarily in Go. This role is focused on adding features and scaling the ScaleFT platform, which we sell as both a SaaS and on-premise. Experience with PKI is a major plus:

GrassrootsPB

GrassrootsPB (https://www.grassrootspb.com) aims to gamify phone banking for down-ballot progressive political candidates, and continue Bernie's political revolution! Our website and Firefox/Chrome extensions are up and running, but we have many ideas for improvement, and are looking for volunteers to help us out.

Monthly Goals:

- Front-end redesign to be more responsive and generally nicer-looking (already have one dev working on this)
- Start migrating towards React as a front-end framework
- Add support for a nice Django newsletter mechanism (some Django apps for this already exist).
- Plan out extended gamification opportunities (leagues, etc)

Longer-term goal: Support a scalable, predictive dialing system, instead of having to use a Chrome/Firefox extension to count calls.

Skills needed: Any of Django, HTML, CSS, JQuery (currently), React (future), good UI/UX design. Familiarity with Heroku and/or AWS is a plus.

Slack: Join the ProgCode Slack through http://progcode.co/, and join the #grassrootspb channel.

GitHub repo (private, but ask for access in the Slack): https://github.com/lakshbhasin/GrassrootsPB
The Linux kernel codebase is pretty flexible. Are there really changes that had to take place to put the kernel into a drone? If not, there's nothing for DJI to release.

Isn't there already a mechanism for handling binary-only kernel modules/drivers? Perhaps DJI's 'changes' can be expressed in such a binary-only module.

There seems to be a fairly large part of the tech community that is willfully ignorant of how these licenses work and how the kernel copyright holders have addressed violations in the past. These folks seem to think that because some corporation downloaded the Linux kernel source, that the company's entire codebase should be open source. As always, it's much more complex.
They come to Palo Alto because of the startup culture, which is diminishing. As the Merc article says, not everything is about maximizing profit.

Unata | Data Science Engineer | ONSITE

What are we looking for?

Unata is looking for an engineer to help scale our platform to support millions of shoppers across multiple retail partners around the globe. You’ll work with our team of developers and data scientists to build solutions that power slick mobile and web applications, personalized content services, and robust integrations with retailer data systems.
TLDR; we want you to help us experiment, build and iterate on our machine learning technology while being a kickass engineer.
Who are we?

We are building the retail experience of the future. We work with large retailers to power their digital experiences, while personalizing each shopper’s content and offers based on their purchase history. We’re connecting the physical shopping experience with the best of the digital world.
Unata’s digital marketing platform consists of state of the art data analysis systems, award-winning mobile and web applications, and machine learning technologies. We hold ourselves to the highest standards; our work has won awards from Apple and many industry publications.

Requirements, requirements, requirements

Solid grasp of computer science concepts: data structures, algorithms, and programming paradigms. We are very keen on implementing red-black trees here at Unata.
Excellent understanding of machine learning systems.
Understands and implements engineering best practices: automated testing, version control systems, documentation, continuous integration, duct tape redundancy, etc.
Feels at home (cd ~) in a Unix development environment.
Can clearly communicate complex technical concepts.
Has built and shipped real software. You know… flappy bird clones… all that jazz.
Can demonstrate and talk about their willingness to learn new things. Like that new reactive microservice framework everyone’s been deploying on docker lately.

What are you waiting for?

Send us a note at jobs@unata.com with a copy of your resume, let us know why you’re a great fit for the position.

The headline as provided buries the lede: Soylent Coffiest having mislabeled vitamin A and C levels has caused a supply bottleneck. Because they have to reprint the packaging, new orders cannot be accepted for 10 days.

It's unclear to me how far off of the stated values they are.
All the same things that are difficult to get right in any other chunk of code that handles arbitrary input from across the internet. I have a couple tomes on this subject: "The Art of Software Security Assessment" is 1200 pages long, "The Web Application Hacker's Handbook" is another 900 pages. Nobody has solved all the issues discussed in those (and many other) books in such a way that makes this no longer "hard".

Note that I'm not at all claiming this stuff is impossible or a total lost cause, just that I think it easily passes the bar for "hard", and is certainly tricky enough to get right that I personally don't think it's worth the effort to run network-connected services unless they're for a business that I'm hoping will pay for my time and effort somehow.

So basically their 2 earliest funds are just over half way to maturity and already closing in on the 3X benchmark Andreessen promised to his LPs?

It's hard to 3X a billion. That makes Sequoia and Benchmark even more impressive, but doesn't reflect badly on A16Z. Michael Jordan once came in 3rd in the MVP voting—does that diminish his legacy? http://www.basketball-reference.com/awards/awards_1993.html

It's a good reminder that press attention doesn't equal results, but A16Z still seems like they're a force to be reckoned with.

Cocoon | https://cocoonapp.co/ | Full Stack (Rails + AngularJS) Developer | Amsterdam, NL | ONSITE | EU work permit required

See more and apply through https://cocoonapp.co/hiring/full-stack-developer or contact me here or at vincent@cocoonapp.co

We're trying to fix tech recruitment by making it more informal and personal. Our current focus is on startups in Amsterdam, but our ambition is to move to other European cities quickly too. Together with me you'll be working on our Rails API, Angular frontend apps (both web and mobile) and improve our recommendation engine using machine learning.

If you like to fix tech hiring, want to work in the most beautiful European city in an experienced team with a strong focus on tech and design, look no further.

Underdog.io | New York, NY | https://underdog.io | Full-Time | ONSITE

We’re looking to hire two full-stack engineers. Ideally, one would be a Javascript/Node.js Engineer, and the other would be a Python Engineer.

Today, Underdog.io is a curated marketplace for talent. We connect amazing people with founders, hiring managers, and recruiters at top technology companies.

We’re building technology to reduce the noise of the job search and match. We started Underdog.io because we experienced the pains associated with (1) hiring while working at top startups and (2) looking for new opportunities.

Our platform is currently live in SF, NYC, and LA. We work with over 200 awesome companies. Quality is key to our model -- we turn away one of every two companies that have tried to join the network. We've proudly bootstrapped and profitable.

As we scale, we’ll focus on building tools for candidates to organize, search, and discover new job opportunities. In our view of the future, job candidates don’t receive as much unsolicited outreach from recruiters. Job search is organized, and talented candidates have more high-quality options.

We use Python/Flask, Javascript/Node.js, PostgreSQL, Elastic Search, AWS. We're also working on a project in Ruby/Sinatra. And we're big supporters of open source.

Link to recent Medium post: https://medium.com/@cmuir/lessons-from-sixteen-months-of-boo...

Email chris@underdog.io to apply.

Because we're still a small team, we're not able to accommodate recent bootcamp graduates. No recruiters or dev shops, please. =/

Yes they do. They have to maintain their own branch, which may be very costly when new versions of linux would arrive. Successful upstreaming mitigates that.

Not quite. The Broken Window Fallacy hinges on the fact that the son breaks the window for a reason that doesn't further any other economic cause. That is, he didn't break the window for research, so nothing new was gained from it. Resources were merely shifted from the shopkeeper to the glazier.

When it comes to innovation, however, failure is often the impetus to more efficient design. Not only was that $200m shifted from Musk/Investors to SpaceX, et al, but it also went to informing the process and improvements for the entire project, and future projects by other companies.

We wish we could learn these things more cheaply, sure. But that doesn't mean the world or company would have been better off in the long run had the incident not occurred -- it's too soon to tell, and we might never know.

The installer does backups during the upgrade process. There's no mechanism for on-demand backups though. I suppose it would be trivial to add that functionality. Restoring from a backup, while simple, has some manual steps.

Since I have no control over where Duet gets installed, and my customers have a wide variety of server capabilities, I try to keep everything as simple as possible. Install takes about 5 minutes and all you really need is the ability to ftp to your server and the know-how to hunt down your mysql credentials. 99% of the time when people have trouble it's just a matter of helping them figure out their correct credentials.

Yes, if you blow the smoke on them, they don't like it.

But I was bitten countless times when I was a smoker, so it's not a very effective remedy.
One thing that wasn't brought up (edit: ok, quickly glossed over) in the article — if you go to court, you can lose!

There are various legal arguments I can think of, that would essentially trash the GPL, and a company with 8 figures to spend on lawyers could make very convincing (I don't agree with these, but a judge and jury could easily):

1. It's unclear whom the actual copyright holder or holders of Linux are, and who has standing to sue on their behalf.

2. Since Linux is open-source, free-as-in-beer, etc, it's public-domain.

3. Linux is a derivative work not entitled to copyright protection.

And so on. Again, when one side might have orders of magnitude more budget for lawyers, this kind of stuff will be very convincing. (Many corps will pony up money to protect Linux, but they'll generally be on the opposite side when it comes to the GPL).
This would be cool for a tiny world globe project I have with longitude and latitude . I wonder how I could make use of this
>Are there really changes that had to take place to put the kernel into a drone? If not, there's nothing for DJI to release.

Yes, there is. If they distribute a product with binaries built from GPL'd code in it, they must provide the source upon request. It doesn't matter if they've changed it or not.
