Senior Software Engineer @ Neuranet | https://flexitive.com | Toronto, Canada | Onsite/Full time

We're a small engineering team building the future of HTML5 content creation. Our browser-based design product (Flexitive) allows designers to build content ~once~ and have it look great on any screen. We are primarily Javascript (ES6) based. Angular and React on the frontend, Node on the backend.

We're looking for a senior software engineer, ideally with good knowledge of the latest browser tech and experience building complicated content for a range of browsers/devices/screen sizes. Prior startup experience is a big plus.

I do the very same. It works superbly!
I'd never heard of Roedelius. Kind of an interesting minimalist piano style. Very likeable. I'm listening to "self-portrait" (or at least that's my translation of the German).
Can you list some of these tools so that I can avoid using them, as they likely contain bugs that are fixed upstream in whatwg/html?
Root | Columbus, OH | Full-time | Onsite | https://joinroot.com

Root is an auto insurance company, like GEICO and Progressive.

We use data science to find and insure good drivers, rewarding good driving with the best rates.

We're a startup — we're 14 people who have been working on this for a little over a year. We've built an iOS app that gathers data on how people drive. We use that to set insurance prices. To build the best possible product and user experience, we went through the arduous process of starting an insurance carrier from scratch.

We've raised $7M, and we're looking to bring on a couple more talented engineers. Tech stack involves Rails, iOS/Swift, and JS/React. Email me at dan@joinroot.com

I can vouch for it being beautiful.
Doesn't this look like they are making Instagram a free app in order to collect valuable information which could be used for recommendations or following what is trending?

Google Native Client is not deprecated, it is still supported in Chrome, and in many ways exceeds the capabilities of WebAssembly.

WebAssembly is very different, and in Chrome it is implemented on top of TurboFan, V8's code generator, rather than Native Client.
> We are the largest private company in Florida

Huh? The largest private company in Florida does $32 billion/year in revenue and has 186k employees. You can't be that big.
Very cool but wouldn't say simple haha!

I implemented a Hough circle detector in JavaScript that might be of interest - it's got UI to tweak the accumulator threshold and is all first principles without any calls to black box functions:

Too Smug to Jail
Every month this company posts here for the same positions and there is always a chain of comments underneath about how they don't respond. I don't think they're actually trying to hire anyone lol.
Lenovo doesn't have Thunderbolt 3, but XPS and x360 do have it (x360 have 2 TB3 ports), so Lenovo is not an option. Not sure MS Surface does have TB3 ports.
Visiting that website was eye opening.

Previously I had a monthly crontab script that updates my LE cert, but now it seems that certbot has been backported to my server's OS (Debian Jessie) which makes my script redundant.

I'll be glad to retire my script. :)
The music to code by series from the dotnetrocks guys is real good too
My favorite music for programming is the ambient music of Lucette Bourdin [0] [1]. Horse Heaven, the first album listed on [0], is one of her best and a great starting point if you're new to her music.

I like her work because it is (with only a few exceptions) undistracting, yet has enough variety that if I do choose to tune into it for a few moments, it's pleasant.

There's lots of other good stuff on the Earth Mantra site as well -- and the price is right :-)

Mission control is my favorite.
The LIRR does not run the trains on time for the most part. The branch I take every day has an on time percentage of 94.2% for last month and six minutes late is considered on time. From personal experience, extremely long delays (30 minutes) or canceled trains are about a monthly occurrence.

Also, while you can now buy tickets on your phone, they still use a very labor intensive process of having conductors walk up and down the aisles and check tickets twice per trip. That contributes to the LIRR very high operating costs.

I wonder how a deep learning solution (convnet) would compare, both in development-time (training-time) and in accuracy.
It's actually a reimplementation, because there were some (I think legal) problems with the implementation that you linked
I'm talking about ALL electronic devices. Phones, tablets, computers, smoke detectors, you name it.

One connector. Not one connector except for this one I particularly like.

And that's why I say I like a company with the balls to bring in the future, even if it pisses off the minority that clings tenaciously to its old tech.
I want one of those hats.
Majority rules with minority rights. The judges are there in part to ensure the rights of the minority are respected.
It makes me sad to see the AST go. I was thinking of writing my own WASM compiler just for fun, purely as an AST transformer.

Its funny how most of the WASM tools still use s-experssions as the text format. How does that even work, now that the AST is history?

That's quite interesting, are you using Instapaper to allow you to get more expansive testing on the parsing technology before rolling in the main product or are they reasonably lockstep?
Hey all,
You can also use Who is hiring++(https://www.whoishiringpp.com) to see and filter jobs posted here. Good luck!
Especially as the subject is quantum physics and thermodynamics, this is a very interesting viewpoint. Though I agree with you in principle, many centuries of inquiry about our universe by some of the most intelligent humans to date seems to say that mathematical formulations and ideas are the best (if not only, as with QM) way to think about our universe. No other way has really been as incredibly useful in terms of prediction as a mathematical one. I think you do have a point, but I will continue to take the so-called Copenhagen Interpretation of QM: Shut Up and Calculate.

RISC-V has GCC support already:

https://github.com/riscv/riscv-gcc

But the UCB IP lawyers are preventing it (for now) from getting upstreamed to GCC proper:

This message makes me think you are not used to carry your laptop on the daily basis. Try to carry you laptop at least a one day having for example a big walk (get new area/city to explore on the foot, for example).
When you come back to society and try to make friends, everyone is going to be utilizing technology to shape their interactions. Uber makes new types of socializing reasonable. (bars and parties farther away). Phones change how people schedule events. Chips in credit cards change how you spend your money.

This isn't trolling. If you don't know how to use modern tech, it's going to be harder to socialize, especially if you are in a city (as they tend to adopt tech faster).

If even a person has successfully rejected some tech (maybe Facebook, maybe smartphones), it's doubtful that they've rejected all tech and if they have they've developed skills for living without it among people who otherwise expect them to have it.

I might be overstating this on a timeline of one decade, but it gets much worse on a timeline of 20 years.

20 years means you were likely using Windows 95. Texting wasn't a thing. Phones didn't have "apps". Banks didn't have websites. The average person's job had a lot less tech in it.

Can you survive? Sure, but your options are a lot more limited compared to someone who knows how to use the tech of the 21st century.

Load time is normally IO bound, not CPU. If your game has the typical IO bound loading, compressing stuff will make it load faster not slower.

The Surprisingly Simple Advice You Will Never Follow: How to Predict the Future
> How about OVH, online, GoDaddy, Digital Ocean, Linode???

None of them really are AWS competitors. The competition is Azure and Google Cloud (and a few other enterprise oriented IAAS but not really opened to the public). And frankly, Google Cloud is actually getting really good. Just compare Google Cloud interface with AWS ... it's day and night. And I was extremely critical of App Engine PAAS before and its stupid limitations (and the joke datastore is) so I'm not a Google fan boy at all, quite the contrary.

It wouldn't surprise me if, by the end of 2020, Google Cloud takes a significant size of the market. Right now it has still a few problems though, but nothing that cannot be fixed on the long run. I'm personally thinking about recommending GCloud over AWS to my clients, especially if they end up fixing 1 or 2 few stuff ASAP.

Azure of course it better for anything Windows and .Net related.
The free market has decided security of IoT doesn't matter.

Thanks, going to look into grass hopper. You can port a number to Google voice for $20. I don't support much of what Google is doing and am trying to limit my reliance on it-- however it would be a pretty good solution. Skype does not allow porting in, but it does integrate with callkit so it will use the new iOS native call screen instead of banners.
Not the OP, but I remember these codes from my first phone, a Nokia 5110.

In addition to the already mentioned code of [STAR]3001#12345# there is also [STAR]#06# which will show your IMEI.

There were plenty of others (including spelling out 'WARRANTY' to get the manufacture date of the phone) but I forgot most of them.

Interestingly, on the iPhone, dialling anything of the format [STAR]# ...anything... # will cause the screen to go grey as if a separate app, then after a short delay tell you that your code was invalid.
Finally. I hated internet in Germany because of this and the lack of public wifi access points.
There are some details scattered around the forum. For starters, one quote from the author[0]:

"The third part never got written. We had a contract signed to publish them and they'd been prepared, copy-edited and put into paperback novel format (I actually have the author's preprints) when a . . . . person . . . . stole the copy and published it himself as a torrent. As a result, the whole deal fell through and nobody will touch an already-published work. So, without any possibility of generating return, I ditched the project. There's no chance of going back to it now."

I once saw a more detailed story about the guy who stole the copy and alleged reasons for doing it, but I can't find it right now.

I'd be interested to know why you didn't "take to it"... was it because you were already using other tools that created functionality overlap? Price? Or were there more philosophical reasons like some teammates didn't like the camera being always-on or the ease of interruption?
I wonder why browsers don't use subresource integrity to share cached items across origins. Maybe they do? If hash collisions is a problem, they could limit it to certain hash algorithms.
Title is unclear. It's sending from the command line, receiving on the phone. Thought it was receiving in the command line, which would be cool.
David Kahn's books "Codebreakers" and "Seizing the Enigma" are both very good and detailed reads.

I think it's deeper than infrastructure.

It doesn't cost more to not write a SQL injection vulnerability. It just takes a programmer who has a basic understanding of internet 101, and who while writing any line of code involving user input will ask himself "how will these assholes use this to fuck with my system". As long as one line of code can take down your whole infrastructure, and unless all devs of anything serious have a minimum competency level, we are doomed to continue the current path, with a major data leak pretty much every week.

So it will probably take a combination of new, safer programming languages, and minimum proficiency levels, enforced with regulations. I don't like it, but I don't know a better solution, and the statu quo is unacceptable.
Same thing here. I listen to music I listened to when I first started spending 6+ hours after school coding. It's not what you'd guess. I know the music so well it puts me into a comfort zone that always allows me to just get shit done. Brain hacking at it's best.

Bonobo radio on Spotify is a great starting point for laid back EDM that isn't anxiety-inducing but keeps energy up.

I love all forms of jazz too much to listen to it while I work, because I start listening critically and getting into musician mode not coder mode.
The reason we are in a "post file system compression" world is because the format of every large file people have around is already compressed. Thus, there's nothing to gain in an extra layer of compression.

But it seems game developers didn't get the memo...

I don't think most employers are struggling for a lack of employment pool. The economy and unemployment is pretty shit world-wide right now. The only people making out like bandits are the high specialized folks that can demand it.
I'd probably import from google scholar, which allows export to BibTex, EndNote, RefMan and CSV.
That's basically everything that's fun to do in a pool, prohibited?
