Ardusat | https://www.ardusat.com | Salt Lake City, UT | Full-stack Engineer, Front End Engineer

Come help change the way science and math are taught in schools! Ardusat is a growing educational technology company providing engaging experiences to science and math students by creating technology, products, and curriculum preparing them to run custom experiments on real satellites in space. With over $6B available in public and private STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) grants, this is an exciting space to work in. We are a small (9 person) team with a successful round of seed funding and a lot of really promising district pilot programs. Everyone at Ardusat is here because we believe parts of the education system are broken, and need to be fixed. We want our work to impact students’ lives all over the world by cultivating more interest in math, science, and technology.

We're looking for an experienced engineer to work on building out our student/teacher software features and help us scale as we grow. We've got a great working platform that is used by schools around the world to conduct science experiments, create and discover curriculum, and help manage, document, and assess Maker projects in the classroom. We have tons of ideas, but we need help taking this tool set to the next level. As an Ardusat software engineer, you would be responsible for architecting major new features and portions of our system - we're not just ticking off a bug list here. The ideal candidate is someone who has experience building web applications from the ground up and is excited by owning a large portion of product direction and design decisions.

Development Process:
Our development process is organized around 2-3 week sprints, and we have 2 in-person engineering tag ups a week. We are a small team and encourage autonomy, so we do asynchronous daily updates (accomplishments, blockers, collaboration needs) but try to avoid getting too bogged down in process or unnecessary meetings. We value accomplishments, not time-in-office, so we try to optimize our process around allowing flexibility and personal accountability.

Tech Stack:
Our website and API are powered by Ruby on Rails, our experiment tools and platform use Angular.js, our real-time features use Node.js, and we have a handful of microservices related to our data pipeline using Python. On the database side, we use Redis to coordinate services and Postgres for our primary data store. We’re especially interested in candidates with Ruby, Javascript, and Angular experience, but for the right candidate we’re open to other languages/platform experience with a demonstrated track record for learning new technology. Although everyone wears a lot of hats at an early startup like Ardusat, this position will be more backend focused, so experience with server management, cloud platforms (we use AWS), Docker, CI, or API design is a plus (although not required). Experience with "maker" technologies including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, 3D printing, etc. is also a plus.

The worst thing for me is if their emails start going through my spam folder--I check it once in a while, but when my life gets hectic it's the first thing that gets dropped.
I see this same, tired old meme in every thread about web technologies.

It's funny to me that certain people are so disdainful of the churn in web development on a forum dedicated to "hackers". Web application development is hard, and the reason why there's so much churn is because smart, inventive people are constantly finding better ways to do things. Things aren't just resetting from scratch every 18 months. The web apps I'm working on today are way more modular, composable, testable, and maintainable than the ones I was writing as little as two or three years ago. Just because Java systems development hasn't changed significantly in the last 5 years doesn't mean Java devs are any more or less reasonable developers than web folks.

> I think an under-appreciated effect of regulation is making participation in the market easier.

As a consumer — but it also makes it significantly more difficult to participate as a producer. This is why existing firms are so often pro-regulation: they have the resources to absorb the initial hit and then pass the costs on to consumers, while an upstart has to raise the resources to pay for the hit before having a single customer.

Interesting, but how would PCA work with a discretely-valued, unordered, metric-less data like multiple choice answers? (Actual question, not snark, I only know the basics of PCA.)
By his own admission, not a great businessman, but I think fits within the HN world for thinking creatively outside the box. He ran the Paris Review at a loss, but was trying to change the world by discovering new important authors. Also, writing about and participating in sports like boxing and hockey were, at the time, well outside the norms for those of his social status and upbringing.

Looking for a full stack position with a leaning towards front end. I've worked with both native and cross-platform app development, along with .NET and Java-based web services. Have done some interesting research software development related to GIS and transportation systems. Active side projects include a JS library similar to React+MobX, a JS actor framework, and a software raycaster optimized with OpenGL.
I think maybe because there is no type checking in Python. This makes it more trivial to have objects that quack like a duck, without the need to explicitly create a class that conforms to an interface.

Experienced remote dev always looking to learn new things.
Interesting to see so many different opinions, and experiences. Apparently it is to a large extent a personal matter.

My experience is that I seem to prefer a mix of available options. For example, my current office is about 30 miles away from home, and I sometimes work form home and like it, but then I go to the office and like it too. After several days of working in the same environment I welcome the change of scenery.

Also, for the first time in many years, I got a private office, having moved there from a cubicle. It may be a status symbol more than a convenience, but it is a convenience for sure. No problem mixing private and public space as long as I have a choice of both.
Either you have fast queries and indexes, or you have a microservice that monitors for certain events, and keeps up to date state in a cache.
"Yet the San Francisco of today is also strikingly different from the one my parents knew—and not just because I can’t find a single good burger under $10."

I've never paid more than $10 for a good burger in San Francisco and if you spend a minute of work on it, you won't either.

I wonder though if the burgers the author's parents knew would qualify for the author as "good". Lots of mom and pop diners throwing stuff together in the "rent is cheap" days, and that's still where you'll find the cheap burgers, if you don't mind them leaving off the truffle shavings.

Insight Analysts | MarketInvoice | London, UK (we've hired two people from HN)
https://www.marketinvoice.com/

We're looking for people who combine a passion for data with a passion for business/growth.

You can either be from a business background with a technical bent (you don't need to be able to code but we'd want you to understand SQL & Excel) or someone from a technical background who's interested in a more business focused role.

MarketInvoice is the VC-backed peer-to-peer fintech platform that’s building the modern backbone of the economy. Imagine you’re a young company who’s just won a major contract but your client wants to pay you on 90 day terms when you need to pay your staff and suppliers upfront. That’s where we step in. Our platform uses the peer-to-peer approach to provide the day-to-day operational financing for companies as varied as mobile development agencies, food brands and construction firms.

We’re the largest startup in our space worldwide and already providing £30 million/month to small businesses. It's a £100bn/year market which is dominated by legacy lenders and banks with complex processes and shady practices. We’re bringing transparency and simplicity to the market.

All roles have equity options with low strike price and employee friendly terms.

We use a standardized candidate review/interview process to ensure we treat every candidate fairly and minimize implicit biases.

The TFL system will remove a bus if it doesn't get an update often enough that includes actual progress on the route. This is in fact the opposite problem of what you mention, in that they don't do a very good job of predicting based on past performance. E.g. I used to take a specific bus to pick my son up from nursery that always would "disappear" for a certain number of minutes at a certain part of the journey because a very short stretch of the route was always extremely congested at that time of day.

It's a tricky one, because they have big concerns about over-promising (e.g. the bus could be stuck behind an accident instead, in which case guessing that it's 5 minutes away because of past behaviour will really annoy people) so in some situations they err on the side of caution.

But they are unable to get rid of all of the corner cases. E.g. a bus that moves rapidly for a short stretch, then gets "stuck", will often appear, disappear, appear, disappear, with much less progress in time estimates than elapsed time should indicate.

The thing is, the team working on it has a huge amount of gathered info on how to give these predictions in a way that tries to minimise surprise and avoid making promises that cause problems for people. E.g. often it's better to take a bus off the list so people who are in a hurry will grab a taxi, rather than "promise" the bus will be there in just another few minutes. They still get it wrong too often, but I really don't envy them trying to get the right balance between promising too much and too little.

> Unlike clients, it's not easy to set boundaries with employees. If something is preventing their forward progress, or a decision needs to be made, my not being there to intercede has a material impact on the company.

yes, this is exactly right, and is why i have decided that fighting this kind of thing is a pointless exercise in futility, because someone, somewhere, always wants you to work more, or juggle more tasks during the time you are working. it's just how the business world works. it's actually what you expect out of a 'good' employee.

i am still young, which is why i'm in the process of selling ownership in my business and "being the change i want to see in the world" in my next venture, i.e. do something that doesn't involve a team, and therefore probably with a limited financial upside.

I think you mostly answered your own question. I did that kind of commute for a year. (SF to Cupertino) It's brutal. The experience can be good and you're young but an extra 3 hours a day is real rough.
I think it's a little different from that actually. That's normally about the merits of ongoing financial investment, but I get your analogy and there should be a name for it because you see it all the time from compsci types.

How about "sunk knowledge fallacy" or something like that?
