What it does: connects patients with medical specialists.

If you believe Forbes, we're the next billion dollar startup, currently with "approaching unicorn status". It was about 1 year ago, and we're growing, that's why we need more Engineers, Data Scientists, QAs with automation experience (you need to be really good at that, I'd say it's even closer to Software Engineer - IMO). Check out official page: https://www.grandrounds.com/life-at-grand-rounds/

Join us to see how Big Data is changing Health Care! We're on OSS, using Ruby on Rails, just started using React in our web apps. We usually use Linux and ThinkPad laptops. Our code looks good, we have lots of tests (all of them green), and you'll never understand what it is if you won't apply! Interview process looks standard: calls, technical screening, on-site.

What else? I'd say we are mid-sized, and according to Glassdoor, GR is one of the best companies to work for in San Francisco (~5 star rating). If I'm not mistaken, we don't do H1Bs, but OK with H1B transfer.

Feel free to send me your technical resume and/or reach out if you have any questions about engineering here: roman.pushkin[at]grandrounds.com (no recruiters, please)

Some persons may have a sense that the faith tradition in which they were raised discourages cohabitation (e.g. considering it to be morally problematic), but: they're not sure why that's the case, they want to be with their SO, they wonder what's the best way to prepare for life together as a married couple (per the comment to which I replied originally).

So, on the one hand, I encourage such persons to learn more about why their religion (and/or the religion of their parents) teaches what it teaches[+]. And on the other, to recognize that there are good ways to prepare for life together that don't involve cohabitation.

I don't think the author wants humility. The author doesn't seem to think humility is required. As near as I can tell, the author thinks all the power is there, it just hasn't been used properly by a bunch of arrogant nerds who don't care about people.

I've known plenty of creative counter-revolutionaries in my time. They're often fascinating people. They're also often given to misplaces rage and nonsensical notions, like marching against the supposed dehumanizing influence of computers.

Because they aren't the same thing.
The article is from 2008...
Maybe some of those engineers really were superfluous. Maybe some were contributing to the bottom line in ways you don't understand or appreciate. I've seen plenty of engineers take infrastructure for granted, discount the value of research ("speculating on new products" is important), or even dismiss support as a cost with no revenue upside. Most often, as those people gain experience they also gain a broader view, allowing them to distinguish between complementary roles and truly superfluous personnel.
RadioPublic | Boston, MA | REMOTE | Full-Time | Full-Stack Engineer | http://www.radiopublic.com

Join us in creating a delightful consumer podcast listening experience that is scalable, beautiful and of the highest quality. We want to create something that people love and recommend to their friends.

We're looking for someone to join our brand new team working on our Website and APIs. You'll have the opportunity to influence the technical and product decisions at a seed stage company that's rethinking radio. You'll work directly with members of the founding team, and add your own expertise to the conversation. You'll shape the future of podcasts by helping to build an exceptional listening experience for our apps and on the web.

We currently have a mix of Rails, AWS Lambda (using Node), Postgres, and ElasticSearch on the backend, and CSS, HTML, XML, and some XSLT for good measure on the frontend.

Can you give us an example of what you mean by this?
The paper is concentrating on a technological approach.

Memory is a 'muscle', it can be trained, it's possible to train yourself to have 100% recall and I think people should concentrate on that as much as physically working out.

I actually think that's the approach schools should take, instead of cramming children full of facts they'll never remember, take a couple of years, train everyone to have a photographic memory, then teach them, no more cramming, no more panicking, no more not understanding, you just absorb everything!

Google 'memory palace' for learning resources on memory etc.
Super interesting. Lots of data there.

Two things that stood out from a quick once-over:

Vue is doing better than I expected.

PostCSS is less adopted than I expected.
> The theory that government regulation is mandatory or companies will never do anything healthy requires a consumer base who assigns no regard to their health and safety, which is obviously false.

Either that or companies price health-and-safety options out of the price range of some consumers, resulting in a society where we think it's right that anyone under a certain level of income doesn't deserve to be as safe as we are.

At least in the current system, you can't buy things without much the same level of safety as we have - meaning that you can't realistically push their income+benefits any lower without lots of pushback. If we thought that health and safety features were optional... that'd be a lot different.
I have in fact used WeChat (particularly when I was in China) and my opinion is that it's still incredibly mediocre.

In just a few weeks of using it, I ran into numerous bugs and inconsistencies—not to mention the fact that it's a giant walled garden with zero privacy.

Unfortunately, it is essential in China (primarily because alternatives are throttled/banned). I definitely would never use it anywhere else though if I had a choice.

Well, uint64_t ;) - but ULONGLONG is uint64_t, so it's the same thing.

The real "problem" here is presumably that ULONGLONG is a Windows-specific type, probably. (I say probably, because you can always make your own type called ULONGLONG - there's no rule to stop you.) People do like to mock people who program for Windows.

The simple act of creating a business requires a legal framework and hence a state. The economy would be a lot different if the owner of an entreprise had to bear the risk of losing his own capital.
After 20 years in software development, I've come to believe that's the best set up for a balanced creativity and communication.
just remember that not everything is about earning more money, sometimes the best career moves may involve making less and with reduced stress and angst

This sounds really cool. Would you be able to sponsor a UK dev for an H1B visa?
You're both missing the point.

Knowing the rules is not the same thing as consistently applying the rules across code you wrote or didn't write (or wrote late at night). The first is easy for a human, the second is hard for a human. That's why language researchers post-1972 have had jobs.
> The employee now knows that he could have gotten the same thing the employer is now offering before the counteroffer.

This only matters if the employee was under the delusion that the company had the employee's best interests in mind. This is true at very few companies. If your company speaks of itself as if it's "a family", it's likely that this is just an attempt to create employee loyalty that they can leverage into lower salaries.

> The employer knows that the employee is spending a non-trivial amount of time to interview and talk to other employers.

This only matters if the employer is under the delusion that their employees are in it for anything other than money. It would be extraordinarily difficult to prop up this delusion in the tech industry where staying at companies more than two years is unusual, so I can't imagine many employers care.

> I agree there should be no trust here, but we are conditioned to think that there should be.

If you agree there should be no trust here, why are you making an argument based on trust?

Just because people are conditioned to think something which allows them to be exploited doesn't mean they should stick to the exploitable thinking in the rare case where it ceases to be exploitable.
>In any place worth living the real value is in the land, not the house.

That's a pretty sweeping generalization. I know that, for some people, life isn't worth living outside the core of a few hip cities, but they're really not the norm.

In general, at least outside of cities, the value of any structures tracks tends to track to the value of the land--assuming the land isn't very large (10s of acres and up). I'd guess that equal values for land setup for utilities and the structure itself is a fairly typical rule of thumb in a lot of places. (The median price for a home is about $200K. The construction cost for a new house is going to be a pretty significant chunk of that.)
Google Cloud Storage (GCS) is in my (biased) opinion better than S3 in most ways.

GCS's default buckets just work within all the US. For no extra $$, you get something you can read and write to at massive throughput in us-west1 (Oregon), us-central1 (Iowa) and us-east1 (South Carolina). This has totally changed how people use our compute offering compared to say EC2 plus S3.

Similarly, we introduced Nearline which S3 sort of copied with Infrequent Access. Except S3-IA rounds all files up to 128 KB. Nearline is simple $.01/GB/month plus $.01/GB retrieved.

All of this with the team maintaining their own JSON API and compatibility with the S3 API (which I use from my NAS box at home).

tl;dr: GCS easily goes head to head with S3 (and often comes out on top).

Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud (and use GCS myself).

> I don't think most storage engines actually compress the data

Most major RDBMs (Oracle, MS SQL Server and even MySql) support page level compression.

> because it would slow down reads and writes dramatically

Not really, modern compression algorithms (e.g. zippy) have much faster decompression/compression speed than IO speed even for SSD drives, and having smaller IO traffic due to data compression can make actual performance higher with compression. Also you can fit more compressed data into FS cache, which again reduces IO traffic.

> Page-level compression might be useful, I guess, depending on your use case.

The ULONGLONG typedef is a 64 bit integer. They should use that.

By the way, MS's compiler has had stdint.h since 2010. So they are making improvements, slowly.
> It is strange to pick on C for this, as I cannot think of a single language that works the way the author seems to want.

Agreed, though recent crop of languages with less implicit conversion will reject the entire thing rather than silently expand the value at the end, e.g. in Rust
