Binti [https://binti.com/] | San Francisco, CA | Full-time, onsite

Binti makes software that is transforming child welfare services administration. We work together in SF and are growing rapidly.

Binti's main SaaS web product is a conventional monolithic Rails/Postgres app that delivers value in heaps and heaps, and remains super fun to hack on. We're building the monolith up higher and higher, and looking forward to soon chipping off a service or two (perhaps in Elixir?). Specific engineering roles we have open are for someone that is highly-opinionated on the front-end stack/practices, a security specialist, and a UX/a11y specialist. We're using Kubernetes/Google Cloud.
Contact info is in my profile.
It's pathos to make more money. Analogue to clickbait. Hollywood-like pity factory. This media popcorn industry is more responsible for exploiting poor africans, not creators of mobile phones.
Seconded. With GCJ, Java had a bootstrapping path from C/C++, unlike all the current single-implementation languages: Rust, GHC, etc.

Having this path is important from a security and user freedom viewpoint: we could build OpenJDK from source.

Not having such a bootstrap path means relying on huge opaque binary blobs, which is a net loss.
I did read the article. I'm sure Sam has done good things. I still don't see anything which warrants a piece in the New Yorker.

I have mild myopia/astigmatism and also use a different prescription for computer use than for distance. Using my distance glasses at monitor distance gives me an eye-strain headache, but without glasses I get a headache from squinting and back pain from leaning in to keep my nose 8 inches from the screen.

10 years ago it took some persuading to get an optometrist or ophthalmologist to prescribe something like that, but nowadays it seems to be routine.

Even if you are able to get by in daily non-computing life without glasses, that doesn't mean they couldn't reduce eye strain. Focusing a couple feet away means engaging your eye muscles pretty strenuously unless you have moderate myopia. And a lot of people have astigmatism without even knowing it.
Perhaps the most amazing thing about WeChat I've discovered is Chinese in America using it to order from Asian businesses in America.
I would not be surprised if the great Chinese firewall does DPI and degrades the connections of all those western built technologies you mentioned. China has been accused of protecting its companies from competition under the guise of security/order/regulation especially in the communications space.

Windows 8 tried to move all of printing into the Charms bar, which was a great idea in that something so common (so many apps need to print) would have one big place to nearly always find it, but of course was also a bad idea because learning the Charms required unlearning the idea that every app has its own Print button scattered somewhere possibly randomly in the app itself and learning the Charms instead.

So you could definitely print PDFs in Windows 8 from the Devices Charm. You'd just need to know that was what the Devices Charm was for.

(I thought the Charms were a good idea that Microsoft didn't quite know how to execute.)
While true, that's certainly changing (hint, soon). You could also turn the comparison around: AWS has nothing like Dataflow or BigQuery (Redshift only sort of counts). Or even more amusingly, AWS doesn't have a hosted Kubernetes product ;).

So I think the parent comment applies, for many people Google Cloud has more than enough services to be considered like-for-like, is missing some you may care about deeply (Redis!), but may have others that AWS doesn't.

Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud.

PS: I'm assuming you're in the Cloud Functions Alpha, if not, feel free to send along your project number and we'll whitelist you.
First line:

> ULONGLONG tableOffset;

It's starting well, for a C example...

Oh, and it ends even better:

> I write drivers for a living, not scientific or statistical analysis software. During this project, I quickly learn that casting everything to (double) was my friend. When in doubt, stick a (double) in front of it and test it again. In the end, the code worked pretty well. The customer was happy. We got paid.

o_O

OKOK, so you write drivers but don't know about C types, standard types, fixed-length types, you randomly fiddle with types until it passes a test but you don't know why it passes or doesn't, and you're proud of selling that.

Wonderful.

EDIT: added the "even better" part.

New York Genome Center | http://www.nygenome.org | SoHo in New York City | ONSITE

New York Genome Center is a nonprofit in SoHo aiming to become a leading sequencing lab and general driver of genomics science excellence. NYGC's partnerships with nearby top-tier hospitals in Manhattan enable unique human analysis studies. We have both junior and senior software engineering positions available. The group is a mixed local/remote team, but all of the currently open positions are ONSITE. Our interview process is phone conversation followed by onsite interview.

NYGC is not a software company; it is a sequencing lab trying to push science at scale, and needs software to do so. We have gone from zero to top-three in five years, and we are hungry to become the leader. We're aggressively scaling our clinical services, so if you have even the smallest allergy to documentation or process, please stop reading now.

These positions are for the automation group, which currently has ten people. NYGC is graduating from successful startup to a medium-sized company. In software, we're replacing duct tape with small applications, and introducing larger applications to help people with scale. We also introduce duct tape to make impossible things happen. People who join NYGC software are expected to learn quickly, be self-motivated, and be comfortable switching tracks. You don't have to understand e.g. genome sequence alignment, but you do have to be able to read a manual on a tool's use and learn enough vocabulary to have an intelligent conversation with an expert on the subject.

This group uses python and postgresql, adding minimal javascript when making frontend applications. We are intentionally boring (https://valdhaus.co/writings/boring-systems/) in our technology choices because our goal is data analysis, not novel software work. We design everything for reliability, maintenance, low cost of ownership, and failure recovery. It is a combination of boring technology and fast pace: we are the computational pipeline team, the automation team, the LIMS team, the database team, the data transport team (surprisingly fun at >20PB), the customer delivery team, the JIRA team. We don't do genomic methods software (e.g. better variant calling) -- we have a great computational biology group for that. Our team is not Agile, but our business is. We make it all run at scale, on our local cluster of >6k cores. This group is focused on making a sequencing lab and automated analyses run at scale.

The lab and automation combined drive some really interesting real-world problems, particularly in the clinical space. How fast can we get first-order cancer screening to sick people? If you want to be part of a growing firm that drives science with stable software solutions, please drop me a note or use NYGC's careers page.

I agree. There were several times that it made a statement like "Early homo sapiens likely killed off Neanderthals. AND IF WE DON'T CHANGE, WE WILL WIPE OUT ALL HUMANITY WITHIN A GENERATION." The bias showed a little too strongly in places.

SEEKING WORK -- New Jersey/Remote.

Hi -- I'm Julius, I do mobile app development for iOS and Android as well as backend APIs using Rails or Django.

Objective-C, Swift, Java, Ruby, and Python are the languages I use on a regular basis.

I have immediate availability for a new project if you're looking for someone to work with on your next mobile app. In the past I've built the Fitocracy apps (featured on the App Store), the Daily Burn Apple TV app (featured in retail Apple Stores), the Charlie App iOS app (top of PH) and a number of other apps. You can find more info at my site: http://www.juliusparishy.com/

I also make http://RunSwiftLang.com if you've ever seen that.

I'm in NJ and I mostly work remotely from my office in Princeton. Happy to talk in person if you're in the city, though.

You can reach me at hello@juliusparishy.com if you have any questions, want to talk about a project, or just say hi.
I spent my undergraduate thesis on automating the production of mock objects and unit tests using program tracing via the JDK's debug APIs [0]. I'd thought it might be useful to have a tool which, requiring no user input, would output when expected contracts of behaviour (in the context of two objects interactions with each other at production) had changed. I wrote my tool to generate JUnit/Mockito tests. It was almost bulletproof in producing working tests for arbitrary Java bytecode (see the link for examples).

At the end of it I was utterly disillusioned that the vast majority of tests with mocks were actually useful to an end developer. It felt too fragile and made refactoring work much more of a chore. Since then I've tested via constructing independent slices of implementation and pushing sample input/output in. In my experience, it has being vastly easier to maintain such a test suite.

I've meant to go back and open source my tool for a while, but found other parts of life getting in the way. If anyone's interested, would love to chat about it (might help me find motivation to continue the work).

You would pay a lot for the egress ($.08/GB or so) and it'd be painfully far away. MySQL ends up caching queries quite well for many web apps, so you quickly get into sub-ms territory for it to just return the cached answer. This all goes out the window, even if you're 5ms away (say DO in San Francisco to AWS in Northern California).

tl;dr: Don't do it.
More accurately: uBlock Origin does not prevent you from visiting the page, it warns you that the page you where redirected to belongs to a hostname which is blocked by one of the filter lists.

From there, you can make an informed decision on whether you want to continue by clicking the "Temporarily" or "Permanently" button.
I think you might have posted to the wrong thread - is this a job listing?
