This is a bit offtopic but perhaps interesting: Joel Spolsky wrote an article, Making Wrong Code Look Wrong[0], which includes a defense of the original Hungarian notation--called Apps Hungarian--that I find rather convincing.

Essentially, the original intent was not to encode the type in the variable name, but the kind. One example given is from the Excel codebase, where ints are used for tracking both rows and columns, but it doesn't make sense to assign values between them (save for rare circumstances like transposition). This is made explicit by prefixing rows with "rw" and columns with "col". If you ever saw something like "rwMax = colCurrent" it sticks out immediately as being wrong since you know that those two kinds of variables shouldn't mix. The assignment is legal and the compiler won't help you; the semantic naming scheme will.

Encoding the type, like "ul" prefix for "unsigned long", is of course awful and unnecessary and deserves all the derision it has gotten over the years.

I am sorry, but I believe you are misinformed. This is not about taxes (I can't believe I wrote this sentence at least three times already!).

Ireland broke an EU law about about fair competition between companies. They unfairly subsidised Apple in a way not available for other companies. Ireland and all the EU countries agreed to not do that by creating laws against it.

Also, I'm not sure why you think I've got a US-centric view. I'm an EU citizen :-)

Math background (along with comparative literature) from undergrad, top score in college CS 150 course in Python, just finished month-long C and Linux intensive. As much as I enjoyed the comparative literature work I did alongside the math and over summers in college, it doesn't engage my brain enough to be my full-time focus. So I'm looking for new-grad roles or a great first internship to start my career as an engineer.

I don't disagree.

I think our perception of technology's pace during the early 19th century versus the late 19th century is partially a result of the speed at which news moved rather than the pace at which change occurred. The telegraph and photograph in the first half of the 19th century created better documentation of change in the second half. The George's Washington and III could have flown in a balloon and ridden upriver in a steam powered vessel.

I agree. You could argue it could always be worse (2 deaths vs 1, a death of a loved one vs. a stranger) but I'm sure the level of badness has a steep curve before human loss is considered.
But we are all in agreement that the author of this must be locked away from society for the greater good of mankind, right?
Mozilla Research | Berlin, London, Paris, San Francisco or REMOTE | Research Engineer - Servo

Servo is a new browser engine designed for maximum performance and safety on modern hardware architectures. Our goal is nothing less than building the fastest and most secure browser engine.

We're looking for someone who wants to experiment with better ways to do JS engine integration. One example path forward is described here: https://gist.github.com/michaelwu/beec9e0a31d906da3d98.

We work with Rust, C, C++, and Python, and all the work we do is open source.

The interview process is several phone screens, a take home coding challenge, and finally an on-site interview.

Apply here: https://careers.mozilla.org/position/gh/267268

As an occasional pipe smoker, I can tell you that 180g/day is nigh-on impossible. A "bowl" (the unit you put in the pipe at once) is 1g - 1.5g, or roughly the same amount as in a single cigarette. So, that's 120 - 180 bowls per day. With an unfiltered pipe you would incinerate your tongue in a day smoking that much. Longer stems might help, but that is still a shitload of tobacco.

Kentik | San Francisco | Full Time | REMOTE, VISA considered

https://www.kentik.com/careers/

Interested in building a distributed column-store time series database? Crafting a sleek, intuitive front-end? Evangelizing a breakthrough approach to network intelligence? This is your opportunity to get involved in a dynamic, rapidly growing San Francisco-based startup.

Kentik Technologies is the creator of Kentik Detect, a big data SaaS for network traffic visibility, DDoS detection, and infrastructure optimization. Accessible via web portal, psql client, and API, Kentik Detect is the network visibility solution that our founders — former network operators from Akamai, Netflix, YouTube, and CloudFlare — always wanted but could never find. It lets network operators see complete traffic paths, find root causes for link congestion, reduce costs by peering with other networks, and know immediately when their networks are under DDoS attack.

In our first 12 months on the market we've landed 70+ customers including:

Shopify, Pandora, DailyMotion, Yelp, Box, Neustar, Instart Logic, and Cisco/OpenDNS.

On the backend we're looking for folks with real-world experience building distributed systems in Go/C/C++. On the front end we need experts at both client- and server-side JavaScript, with broad experience in monitoring, visualization, and building state-of-the-art Web applications. And in sales we need proven performers with a track record in highly technical markets (network-related preferred).

Sound like a good fit? Check us out at https://www.kentik.com/careers/, and contact us at hr@kentik.com.
Thanks very much, I'll repost.
Globosat Play architecture overview
I understand the rationale behind such a decision, thought personally I would rather install languages and tools through other means so I can keep up to date rather than be concerned with the remote chance of a stability issue on my OS. Lots of programs have Python as a dependency so it makes sense to have it included by default, but Ruby, Node, and Rust? Just seems like a waste of effort and possibly disk space(if it is preinstalled) when most users are going to install their own packages as part of a tool chain that has nothing to do with supporting components of the operating system. I am usually much happier when my software isn't so coupled with the OS, even though that kind of goes against what seems to be a Linux philosophy. I would be even happier if distros would just stick to supporting low level libraries, kernel modules, and necessary UI components rather than spend a bunch of time creating a complete system.
The human brain can be directly influenced by the outside world. Calling that either 'senses' or 'memories' is abusing the terms rather heavily.

Alternatively, someone can eat LSD without sensing it. But, that LSD is still going to have a profound effect.

Collective Health, ( https://collectivehealth.com/jobs/ ), San Mateo, CA (Full time, ONSITE only, VISA-depends, see below)

We're replacing health insurance with a system that members love. Using our SW, platform and services, an employer can pay doctors directly, saving a ton of money and making the employee experience amazing (with the testimonials to back it up). The company is well-funded, ~two and a half years old and growing very rapidly with sales traction. We punch well above our weight-class with experienced founders, ~250 team members (~ one quarter is engineering), and paying customers.

Our tech stack is a mix of Go and Java components with Angular on the front end. We use a custom service bus to tie our SOA together, microservices style. We love Docker, CoreOS, postgres, automated testing, and continuos integration. We've got some neat in-house tools for service discovery, health checks, cluster setup and deploy and more.

As a company, we're strong believers in transparency, trust and balance. As an engineering team, we believe good code is easy to read and should have a short "time to understanding". We expect all of our engineers to continually teach as well as learn. We also believe that everyone should write good code, yet balance that against the need to ship.

We've got a ton of interesting problems to solve around distributed systems, data analytics and predictions, complex data modeling, ultra high-availability, security, privacy and more.

We're currently looking for experienced SW engineers up and down the stack, back end, infrastructure, data, dev ops, test, generalist, etc. Our biggest needs are DevOps and Backend Engineers.

All open jobs: http://grnh.se/8f7q15

If you are non-technical, but are interested in experiencing a hyper-growth startup, we also are hiring for sales, business development and other roles as well. If you care about such things, we were recently flattered/embarrassed to be highlighted as one of fifty potential next unicorns by the nytimes: http://nyti.ms/1JLKaCT

We're super proud of the company mission, engineering culture and tech stack we've put together and would love a chance to explain it all in detail!

UserIQ | Javascript Engineer | Atlanta | Full time | Onsite Preferred, Remote Considered | http://useriq.com

UserIQ is looking for a talented engineer with a deep understanding of Javascript. The ideal candidate reads/follows Resig, Crockford, Eich, etc. not to sound smarter, but because they enjoy mastering their craft. They are well-versed in prototypal inheritance, closures, scoping, and event bubbling because they have learned what works best (based on the strengths and limitations of JS) while improving code that is delivered to customers.

If you love learning, creating great experiences for customers, and solving tough engineering problems, then we want to talk to you.
Benefits: In addition to a very competitive startup salary with equity, we offer a full range of benefits including: Medical / Dental / Vision / Life / HSA / 401k.

We normally prefer onsite candidates, but we realize this is a unique role and are willing to consider remote for the right talent and future team member.

Email us at jobs@useriq.com and let us know why you'd make a great fit.
You might want to edit and say SEEKING WORK instead.
That's a good point, and it's reasonable to invest more in a few later stage (money-making) companies than a lot of little maybes.

Seems fine and dandy to sprinkle 5,6,7 figure investments here and there if you have a lot of cash to play with, but those startups don't operate in a vacuum. They will need support from time to time, they will require work-hours from your firm that could be allocated elsewhere.

Of course there's no one-size-fits-all, but every startup investment will in some way or another cost more than the check you write.
It's a deal breaker most likely, the terms of the deal were based on AMOS-6 becoming operational by march 2017.

There has been high level of criticism in Israel about the deal as many seen this as giving up it's sovereignty over its space platforms even tho under the deal the all operations of spacecom platforms would be still handled from Israel proper, I'm sure the r/conspiracies is already booming with sabotage theories.

But yeah it's not great for spacecom in general, Facebook also will now withdraw from their contract with them for supplying internet to Africa as AMOS-6 was supposed to replace AMOS-2 and enhance the coverage over Africa and the Middle East.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/eb/Amos-6-K...
Israel is one of the few countries that is pushing satellite coverage in the area, AMOS-6 was supposed to grant up to 20gbps of bandwidth to Africa over the leased Ka band which was desperately needed.
IO is pretty huge as well. You can spend lots and lots and lots of money to buy 1 machine a hard drive that can read 60 TB fast. Or you can have 100 machines with the cheapest possible hard drive and smoke the total IO.

VOTO - REMOTE

VOTO is about tackling tough development challenges through basic mobile technology: we’re helping amplify the voices of 3 billion people not yet on the internet, making sure their feedback reaches the organizations that serve them, and connecting them to the daily information they need. We build technology and expertise to do mobile surveys, messaging campaigns and hotlines through the basic mobile phone channels most able to engage hard-to-reach audiences.

We are looking for:

(1) Director of Product Design: You will lead the design of user workflow and user experience across the web application. You will provide expert input to the engineering team on new feature designs, and also manage the product feature roadmap. Ideally, you will be strong in front-end engineering, so they can get hands-on in directly prototyping new features, working within the engineering team, and avoiding a design-to-engineering translation layer.
More info: https://www.votomobile.org/careers/

(2) Front End Engineer: You will be responsible for building client-side functionality of the VOTO web application. You will work on rich, Javascript-intensive user interfaces, including VOTO’s “Trees” – a powerful in-browser visual programming tool that empowers our partners to “draw” virtually any kind of mobile engagement with end-users they can imagine. You will be empowered to cover a range of roles from requirements analysis to UI design to implementation in code.
More info: https://www.votomobile.org/careers/

Candidates should be open to significant global travel to ensure they can attend a thorough in-person orientation, and routinely build in-person relationships with their team.
