TIM Group | London | ONSITE or REMOTE | Full Time

TIM Group develops and runs the leading, independent alpha-capture platform. We connect brokers and fund administrators to get market insight to the right people at the right time and then we give them even more value by providing useful analytics and signals by combining their ideas with market data and our own expertise.

Our interview process goes through several stages of: a phone call; a short, online coding exercise; 2 hours of in person, technical interviews; a day of technical and non-technical interviews. Our aim is to help both us and you get the information both need to make an informed choice at every stage. We also vary this process based on the situation of the person (we won’t ask a remote person to do two separate trips, for instance).

Our system is a web application (Java/Scala, React/Redux, MySql) running on our own hardware (but in virtual machines). CI and CD are old hat for us. You’d be working on a range of different problems depending on where you find yourself working in the system. Although we use these technologies, don’t shy away if you aren’t an expert. We always strive to improve and want to incorporate your skills and knowledge into our team.

You can work from our London office or remotely (or a mix, if you like). We are a supportive group, and trust each other to take responsibility for their work.

You can learn more about us by watching the lightning talks that we’ve posted online: https://vimeo.com/user3637590

Thanks for flagging it. Honestly that's 15 minutes of his life that he'll never get back :)

I figured anybody motivated enough could do the same detective work he did...there's a difference between leaving room for inference and posting a billboard, though. That said, that particular niche is already crowded with 3 strong competitors, so anybody interested in duplicating would be better served spending half an hour with a junglescout.com trial to find a more competitive way to get a foothold.
> What's even neater about AI is that the requirements to get involved are much lower than that of hardware and much easier to propagate.

That's thinking very much from a CS point of view. Sure, if we're only talking about software you're quite right. But I would strongly argue that if we want to build an artificial intelligence, we first need to know what a "natural" intelligence looks like - and that includes a lot of neurobiological research that still needs doing. Now you can say what you like about software, but neuroscience doesn't come that cheap...
These sentimental pieces do not help. At this point it's fair to say that europeans know the struggle of (legitimate) refugees.

The actual solution is to end the war in Syria, instead of waiting for the rest of the country to flee, and then boast about how humane we are.

Based on SUSE/openSUSE I think, their manual/wiki mentions selecting SUSE/openSUSE when creating a VM for Sophos UTM.

Good point, I had forgotten about the viral aspect of the GPL. But it looks like Sneyers already thought of that too, luckily.

Why do refugees need to go to as far as Sweden to escape war? Why wouldn't they stop at the nearest EU country, or even closer to Syria?
Law and Order: File Transfer Protocol Divsion
My take from the article:

1. the "Syrian refugees" are actually very different people with different backgrounds.

2. most lived the very calm lives until they lost home and family in the war

3. they seem to be trying to adjust to the new life and a new culture. but can you really do that without a job and some Swedish friends?
Of course, as long as the media report world views that confirm your political opinion it's probably the best media outlet in the country. Am I right?
Yup, and it somehow also includes Packer, Kubernetes, Spinnaker and Mesos.

Don't get me wrong, but this looks like it's trying to be systemd for infrastructure orchestration - and I don't mean that in a particularly good way. This design is just all over the place.
It is hard to understand the hard situation that this people has, and is still, living.

But when I read about how this guy says "As a child, I used to watch a cartoon on TV. The show featured the main character Nils and his friend Mårten the goose." I can feel totally related to him. It is just a TV cartoon, but it is also a treasured memory of Sweden that I had as a kid.

It is worth reading the stories of this people and thanks to this article it is easier to truly feel their humanity.
I can't _stand_ the reviewkick sourced reviews, and there is a substantive difference between those and those from "product niche experts". The person who subscribes to reviewkick to "get free stuff" is building a profile to increase their value, so that they can get more expensive free stuff which they can in turn sell on ebay (or, I guess, hoard.) The reviewer who actually _uses_ the product, on the other hand...

Personally, given the choice between products I'll definitely avoid those with obvious fake reviews. I bet it's common behavior to do so among those who actually take the time to consult reviews, and I bet Amazon saw the writing on the wall via their analytics.

I've seen similar statistics on several occasions over the last decade or so. I was never given the impression that it was a study, moreso that it was a very basic analysis based on the number of complaints filed for a period after body cameras were implemented.

This is the first time I've read something that actually has an aura of being a study. I'm a little leery of only seven departments being looked at, but that's just a pointer that further study needs to be done. The numbers are promising.
I used this for my router: http://pcengines.ch/apu2.htm

No complaints yet, except pfSense is not that great with Wifi. It's probably best to do wifi separately if you want to run a BSD flavour on it. I haven't tried installing Linux on it yet, since WiFi is functioning well enough, albeit sub-optimally.
> I restrict local storage and cookies based on whitelists

Similar to people who block all Javascript, you should expect things to break if you do this.
I do enjoy these sorts of projects but ... My router needs were recently fulfilled by a TP-Link MR3020, an old mobile phone and ROOter/GoldenOrb, an OpenWRT variant.

£25 and two minutes to flash it, and away. It amazes me what OpenWRT and ROOter have crammed into 4MB. 4MB!
That is a gross mischaracterization.

I would describe it simply as a smaller BBC, with all that entails. It's more like NPR than FOX in regards to bias. And that is an immense difference.

Edit: As you deleted your comment, I'll edit here instead.

I know the party affiliations, and why I made a comparison to a left biased state sponsored radio network. I still strongly disagree with your comparison to FOX News. It's a huge difference between being biased and still do largely good reporting, and being biased and straight up lying daily.

Party affiliation does not inherently imply doctored news reporting or necessarily even biased reporting. I'm not disagreeing about a bias. I'm saying your comparison is way off on the magnitude.

"Ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a logical fallacy in which an argument is rebutted by attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself."

This is actually a terrible idea, IMO. Currently people announce when their review was of a freebie. Now people will still do it, they just won't disclose it.

Well, yes, but the language itself is a mess, so the codebase is a bit ugly.
That is atrocious. Do you have any citations to back those up?
mainly welfare reasons, and also parts of their family are already in northern europe.
No expert either, but there is definitely domestic regulations in place. Besides, the eurozone is only a subset of EU. The UK has its own currency, for example.
???

He does that sometimes, but certainly not every episode.
They actually explain this in some stories. For example, some people had friends and relatives in Sweden. Some choose it because Swedens track record in human rights.

Also, the nearest EU countries were Turkey and Greece then Italy and Hungary who don't seem to accept refugees at this point.
"almost every discussion of routers presumes WiFi"

That would be because numerically, the majority of routers are tiny boxes sold for home use with three NICs: external ethernet, internal ethernet (often connected directly to a mini-switch), and internal WiFi. They also serve as firewalls, DHCP servers, NTP servers, and DNS relays, none of which are technically routing.
Indeed. It's the Duke Nukem effect.

Thats standard in immigration discourse these days, with one side drumming the narrative that immigration enriches our societies and helps our economies with other going that they are criminals and uneducated slackers looking to leech on social programmes.

NPR is polite cousin of MSNBC, but the politics and biases are not that different.
Huh. I was pretty sure he did the videos. Maybe he just storyboards them now?

Ah well, maybe he'll finally use that free time to make a proper version of Cell. Because the demo of that game was really cool.
Nope, EdgeOS is a fork of VyOS, based on Debian. There is a GUI, but there's also a CLI which exposes a lot more functionality. You can even install standard Debian packages via Apt.

While i agree that SVT/state media has a very left leaning profile and are leaving facts and statistics unsaid/hidden, that does not mean that the article itself is untrue and uninteresting.
A good analogy would be, if you were very thirsty, but there were no shops around and you had no money. You would walk up to the nearest house and ask for some water. But if they refuse, would you stand there and demand they give you water, or would you just go to the next house up the street and try again?

I feel like this is similar - refugees are met with animosity in good case and outright aggression in worst, so they just keep on moving until they get to the place that will accept them.

Good news. Now we need to deploy more grid scale batteries or other storage. We have the technology (just as we do for electric vehicles). It just needs scaling up and that's now a political/economics problem.

Solar doesn't show on the UK grid stats [^0] but it does on the French one ([^0]/france). There's an app that shows what this means in terms of CO2e [^1].

I wrote a piece on electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cells recently [^2]. Another option could be to synthesize methane [^3] using the Sabatier reaction (as NASA does on the ISS [^4]). If this is burnt with CCS (underground storage or to grow plants in greenhouses) then it would remove carbon from the atmosphere.

A router has nothing to do with ethernet ether, but people still expect a router to have ethernet.

For most home users, routing Wifi to their provider's ethernet handoff is exactly what they need a router for.
I am a donor myself, so I'm not too worried about it. But perverse incentives should always be checked for.
Not correct. Refugees stay in entry-point countries until their refugee application is processed, which can take months. Meanwhile, many of them seek to find illegal ways to move up north.
And a less critical retrospective https://youtube.com/watch?v=bp5vOgz8vyI
I think the argument about config-string has been won. The last post mentioning them from the team working on the privileged spec draft seemed to indicate a tactical retreat on the issue.

I actually thought the whole SBI thing might cause more popcorn when it comes to kernel upstreaming, though it has been pointed out to me that it's not conceptually that different to Xen hypercalls.
Only linux-user is going to be accepted upstream until the privileged spec is finalized.
That's not the point. The point is that it's hard to make criminal cases without hard evidence.

I read the other day that Sweden had to cancel the Earth Hour event where they turn of lights for an hour because the last time they did in 2015 many gang rapes occurred which were committed by refugees. (even 12 year olds were raped)

That's what you get when you let young women decide on anything related to the nations security. They are the one's who were holding the "refugees are welcome" signs, they are the ones who overwhelmingly vote for Socialists.

I live by the way in the EU so I'm also affected by all of this. Some might say it's heartless but if I saw today a women getting raped or beaten by a refugee on the streets I wouldn't even help her. A year ago she was likely one of those who was calling people like me (I'm against inviting millions to come to the EU like Merkel did) a racist in order to shut us up. Now live with the consequences.
I'm not sure what this argument is. It's equally likely that you dislike it because it doesn't conform to your views, regardless who's "right".
But does it explode?

I don't see how what I said and what you said is mutually exclusive, or why what I said is incorrect. Refugees get to the entry-point countries, where they are met with squalid conditions in camps, aggression from locals and media, so they just pack their things and move somewhere else.
Do you have a pointer?

There are other things in the 1.9 privileged spec that are messy, but I hope that the next version has relatively large changes. That said, the development and discussion style is not very open, and that's a pity (and the justification for not releasing the source of the spec is lame at best).
Does not apply to mainstream media. When the medium is the message, the line between attacking the message or the medium is blurred.
Forcing all the refugees to stay in Greece or Bulgaria would just collapse those countries instead. You may remember that Greece had its own financial crisis, and Bulgaria is one of the poorest countries in the EU.

One of the contributory factors to the war in Syria was that 10% of the population were refugees from Iraq ...
Well, considering that the primary function of a shell is to run programs, reducing your depgraph isn't what you want.
The way I voted:

- prefer to kill those within the car than without

- prefer to go straight (stay in control) than swerve (lose control)

I did not care for age, fitness, gender, species, good guy vs bad guy... just that those within the car made a choice to be in the car (and, as I saw it, subject to it) and those outside of the car did not make that choice (and, as I saw it, should be not subject to it if possible).

Driverless cars should be a success based on the likelihood of coming out of the vehicle alive compared to manual driving. Not of externalising the issue by increasing collateral damage.
Perhaps it is, but mjt (the Debian maintainer) is pretty stubborn...

I disagree with your scale, but otherwise that was my point in the comparison.
It probably uses CORDIC:

That also reminds me of the note on this page about the Sinclair Scientific calculator's speed:

http://files.righto.com/calculator/sinclair_scientific_simul...

Due to the simple loop-based algorithms, the speed of the Sinclair Scientific calculator varies from good to horribly slow depending on the values. For instance, sin .1 takes under a second, but sin 1 takes about 7.5 seconds. Arccos .2 takes about 15 seconds. Log and antilog have the overhead of recomputing the constant 229.15, and take about 1 to 2 seconds.

It's worth noting that modern low-end calculators still use very simple processors operating in the kHz range, because they're cheap, ultra-low-power, and sufficiently fast. This does occasionally manifest itself in taking a second or two for computing some more complex functions.
No they can't pack things and move elsewhere because they have no papers. Asylum applications are processed in the country of entry.

And a more thorough one, but a bit old (2009):

The point with UK train travel is that

1) commuting to London is expensive (not that surprising considering how congested it is) and

2) if you book in advance, travel is cheaper than in comparable European countries. If you purchase ticket in the train, it is more expensive.
> a philosopher and statesman known as Kung Fuzi (“Master Kung,” known in the West as “Confucius”) codified the heavenly rules into a series of texts that would form the backbone of Chinese culture for the next two thousand years. Master Kung’s intricate philosophy, known as kung fu, utterly permeated every area of Chinese existence, from statecraft to family life, from etiquette to martial arts.

(emphasis mine, obscuring emphasis present in original)

This doesn't inspire much confidence. I can't read it except as trying to suggest that the english word "kung fu" (modern chinese: 功夫 gongfu, meaning skill, labor, or martial arts) is derived from the name of Confucius (modern Chinese: 孔夫子 kong fuzi, meaning, as advertised, "master Kong"). I am not aware of any support for that claim -- you'll note that the "kung" of "kung fu" is the character 功, and the "k'ung" of k'ung fu-tsu, Confucius, is 孔. There was (and of course still is) a word for Confucian philosophy: it is 儒 ru, not "kung fu".
I think that's exactly what it means.
Quick stats about credit card usage in Japan for people interested.

In Tokyo, most shops and restaurants accept credit card. In other cities (including Kyoto and Osaka), only about 30% of restaurants or smaller shops accept credit card. Chain store and department store usually accept credit cards, it's just the small mom and pop shop that are taking some time. The situation is improving fast though.

Online, I have a friend managing an ecommerce there with about 400 million dollar sales per year. Right now, 40% of the orders are cash on delivery. It was 60% of the orders three years ago.

Credit card is hard to get for foreigners (like usual) and for young people without stable jobs (banks tend to be rather risk averse).

I'm happy that Stripe is in Japan because the existing credit card providers are mostly incompetent and have really stupid apis.
Funny you'd mention those two (CoD and GTA); CoD started out as an authentic (or, authentic-seeming) WW2 shooter, preceded by the Medal of Honor series that had the same 'genuine' feel to it. GTA started out as a comical top-down shooter and became more serious / realistic in a lot of ways. Well, until GTA Online came around anyway.
