Blackfynn | Philadelphia | Full-Time Onsite

Blackfynn is a growing startup that builds software to help researchers, life scientists, and medical professionals do collaborative and team science, notably in the field of neuroscience. We're a driven, curious group wielding data science and building software that meaningfully impacts humans. Our mission is bold, our team is experienced, and our product is ambitious. We're looking for builders to help us bring it to life.

We love individuals who are curious about domains outside of the ones we normally operate in, enjoy polyglot codebases, consider themselves a generalist, and desire to work on products that make a positive impact. The bar for software in this field is, unfortunately, low. We want to change that in a massive way.

We're well funded and have excellent traction on a number of significant partnerships. The product team is a great crew, super bright, without egos, and passionate about our work.

If you're interested, I'd love to talk. chris @ blackfynn.com

Hi Stavros,

Could you please clarify how do you do the deployment of a new version?

Not every commit to master is necessarily a deployment, right? So how do you trigger it?

How did you configure Captain Webhook to get the new image and replace the current one that was running?
I would respect the JavaScript so much more if there wasn't so much faddishness - somehow JS devs have decided switch statements are bad, indenting with 2 spaces is the only way to go, semi-colons should be banished and "boilerplate" code should be hidden in libraries the magically wipe it away so your code looks "clean," if barely understandable without reading through a bunch of libs.

Edit: forgot to add that these are my initial impressions after diving into front end development with node and browserify. I ended up avoiding a lot of pain by just using TypeScript and a make file. Who has time to wade through umpteen million build systems?
Does Angular 2 live up to the hype?
Living the Greek reality of being governed by a populist party of clueless people, I hope that the Pirates' rise is not just a show of public anger, but rather a conscious decision.

I like a lot of things about Pirates (especially from northen countries), but I hope they are taking it serious and are already preparing (/have prepared) not just proposals for new things but also about the boring "everyday" things that are needed when running a country.

In a world of rise of extreme right-wings and clueless populists, I hope Icelandic people will question things more for the improvement of the politicians as well. Judge by policies not by ideologies is still not widely applied (at least speaking for my country).

Email: pkhamre at gmail dot com

10 years experience with operations and devops. I'm a happy guy always taking care for a good environment to work in :) Can transition into development (apps or web) if given time to learn.
I think we can agree though, most code is "good enough", and there's always room to improve, refactor, and make it better.

Even if your code shows you were less competent, it worked (hopefully)! A lesson was still learned.
I'm pretty sure that C# AOT does not eliminate the need for a JIT in the runtime system. Just as one example, how could expression trees be implemented without one?

I remember getting my first email address in 1992; my first semester of college. It was the one issued to me by the university; and that also happened to be my first exposure to unix! Ah, nostalgia!
Anecdotally, CS appears to have lost quite a bit of popularity while TS gained some.

RedMonk seems to confirm these trends. TS grows while CS stagnates:

After using Mobx for a few weeks, I've come to question why anybody would use anything else. It is the only software I've ever used that was created for a dynamic language that has me trying to re-implement in my favored strong/static typed languages. Now I just point and laugh at anybody trying to make sense of their Redux global state atom with a bajillion reducers.

So far, I've only found one common objection to it: that it embraces mutable state. Well duh...UIs are state machines. They need mutable state because their entire existence depends on it. Sure, you might be able to model the mutable state of UIs using immutable data structures, but you can't get rid of the mutable state. And because of this, my opinion of this objection is that it is of a religious nature. You can ignore this particular objection with no risk at all.

This was an error by the author of the blog post. There isn't a wide body of research confirming this. There aren't academic papers. There is merely anecdotal evidence/marketing material from industry participants.
Virtual Reality VC Shifts to Sand Hill Road Investors from Specialists
Summarizing the mentioned companies, no matter how big, is a quirk of The Economist. A more notable quirk is their lack of by-lines. Presumably, multiple authors work on each article. Perhaps that's why you feel the tone is inconsistent. Or perhaps its because they write in UK English, where words have different tonal attributes.

The paper (they insist on calling themselves a newspaper, another quirk) is prone to these sorts of booster articles. Other times, they write in-depth, balanced, and informative articles from a Liberal view point. The thing that irks me most is how they casually omit criticisms from other viewpoints, but that's expected as they wear their bias on their sleeve.
> If you find the contractors aren't doing their job, now you will probably have to get lawyers and whatnot, and have expensive, time-consuming litigation. Then, if the government wants to change companies at some point, you have a large expense in finding a new one, with bidding, etc. And that is if there is another contractor available in your area. And then you have lobbying, cronyism, and other political issues.

Business contract law is much simpler to deal with than employment law. Plus it wouldn't be the governments job to deal with individuals at all. Only the end result of the service provided. It'd be the private companies job to deal with their own employees and contractors.

> The entire reason for hiring another company to do this is to get around public pay and pension issues. If this is all just a workaround for that, fix the source of that problem, rather than trying to abstract away responsibility.

That's exactly the point! Because no private company would be stupid enough to enter those types of agreements with their workers because they can't maintain their end of them. The government can't do it either (without bankrupting and/or eroding it's tax base) so the solution is to prevent government from ever having a chance to enter those agreements. Otherwise some weak willed politician will hand out defined benefit plans like it's candy to get votes for one election, only to doom their children's children for years to come.

That's so discriminatory to cats with their nine lives! :D

Seriously, that's a great site, and I love the one-time fee model.
Depends on the space.. for example, Express has been pretty stable.. Angular 1.x has been as stable as anything else for the most part... Node's mostly been progressive additions, and features from engine updates since 0.10... npm has been pretty stable since node 0.10, though there's been significant advancements since npm 3 came out.

Browserify -> Webpack has been noisy.
Babel 5 -> 6 equally noisy, but better for moving forward

Today, I think webpack, babel, react, redux and fetch cover a LOT of ground for client-side dev. There's a few other bits around that, and I think CSS tooling is starting the a similar shakeup to node's tooling options.

In the end, almost all the JS features I care about seem to be at stage-3 now, so who knows when they'll be in the major browsers.

Oh no how did I miss that acquisition?? Thanks for the heads up. Are there any decent independent domestic US providers left??
It sounds like you are not testing units of work with your unit tests that require "webs of mocks", but rather higher level integration tests.

Unit tests should be testing code that has a small set of dependencies and test a single operation with those dependencies.
Okay this is like your 6 or 7th post in this discussion advertising for Google. Can we stop wth the spam now?
I hope Vue is going to be quite popular. I haven't actually used it but have looked at the documentation and have heard so many people praise it. I have only heard of good things. It just doesn't have the support like Angular or React has from the big Companies.

Well, most of the features I care about in JS are in stage 3 now. Webpack 2 will get the tree shaking, and babel seems ready to work with both. It think the CSS options are next in line to see some shakeup... I've been liking what I'm seeing from JSS, though I still use mostly sass at work.

One thing that wasn't addressed in the original article is that there's not a lot of room in psychiatric hospitals and not a lot of funding to keep people there long-term. So that results in a more or less tacit revolving door policy, and certainly affects the decision to involuntarily commit or not.
Hi,

I sent you e-mail on 09/27 with no reply from your end. So here is a ping. :)
Think what you will about Uber and AirBnb (I happen to dislike Uber as a tech employer) -- they are certainly offering real growth. I have used Uber (and Lyft) and Airbnb (and VRBO/HomeAway) to do things that I otherwise wouldn't have done. In other words, rides I wouldn't have called a taxi for, and trips I wouldn't have taken because I find the typical hotel experience to be more trouble than it's worth with two small children. I think you should also consider the utilization side of things -- people are getting value out of a depreciating asset that would otherwise be unutilized. Simply from an account perspective this is valuable (and probably more economically valuable than helping support rent-seeking medallion owners).

The Freakonomics podcast had a really good economic justification for Uber specifically that goes beyond what I've described here. It's worth listening to (and I can't seem to link to it directly: http://www.npr.org/podcasts/452538045/freakonomics-radio -- September 7th).

Walmart Technologies East | Reston, VA | Software Engineer - Junior/Mid/Senior On-site - Full-time

This is a (semi) new branch of Walmart Technologies (not to be confused with Walmartlabs that focuses on the .com site) that is focused on modernizing the stores systems and everything else that is not .com really. This is a great opportunity to work with very smart people in very challenging problems (I actually mean this, I am a software engineer who just started last November and I am astonished at the projects I have been able to work on so far and the technologies I have used). We are a new team, the oldest member has been here a bit over a year, and we are trying to find the best software engineers to grow our team even more. We need them as the scale of the problems we are trying to solve is huge and we put a lot of focus on creating elegant solutions for those problems. One big plus also is that we encourage continuous learning (we have workshops and tech talks often) and we love it when you contribute (or have contributed) to an open source project. We want to give back to the community in different ways too (we volunteer, and do meetups frequently). So if you are super smart, like to be surrounded by smart people and solve difficult distributed problems, and you want to help define and build our office culture, you should contact us!
Just a note. For Junior devs, fresh out of school, we don't care what language you code in (even though we use Java here for the most part so at least you should be willing to learn it). For everyone else, we'd expect you to have a good working knowledge of at least one JVM language. Get in touch at wmtech.reston@gmail.com

How web apps can watch your every move
I don't really understand that claim. You are explicitly adding a bias that is linearly dependant on your race variable, and then allowing your regression to recover that bias by introducing noisy measurements of race (which you as the modeller knew was the thing causing the bias). As you say, that is unsurprising.

That result does not, however, address my point, which is that if the structure of the bias is difficult to understand, or perhaps even just difficult to model, and if relevant measurements (with errors that are uncorrelated with your original errors) are unavailable, then bias correction is essentially impossible.
