Yammer (Microsoft) | San Francisco, CA | Onsite | Full-Time | Senior Software Engineer (Front end)

Yammer is looking for an awesome senior front end engineer to join the team in San Francisco. Located near SF's Civic Center, the office boasts beautiful historic features, free meals and great commuter benefits. Send you resumé to rtagger @ microsoft.com.

About Yammer:- At Yammer, our mission is to change the way people work, and that mission starts with us. We use our own product every day to promote and encourage our culture of openness and transparency. Yammer provides each user with a voice, empowering individuals to share ideas, ask questions, and voice concerns. We're passionate about building a great product that people love to use, and we're always on the lookout for similarly product-minded engineers to join us. Our Frontend engineering team works on a rich, complex client-side application. And at Yammer, engineers don't just get handed specs and mocks to build -- we work in an iterative and collaborative way with Product and Design to create the best possible user experience. So, we need people who are enthusiastic, who ask great questions, who have strong opinions but aren't afraid to admit when they're wrong, and who enjoy collaborating with a cross-functional team. At Yammer we hire smart people, expect them to learn and grow, and trust them to make day-to-day decisions. We care most about creating products people love - to enable that, we move quickly (pushing code to production at least daily), we iterate, and we value learning over shipping features.

This was a really smart article.

It seems to me that a lot of the exaggerated angst around HN about this announcement (visible nearby) is due to the fact that the professed desires of high-capacity hardware users (diverse ports, lots of RAM, expansion) have been ignored by Apple's new product.

Some of this is real (i.e., SW developers are not Apple's main audience for this machine). But much of it is people who have never used the product extrapolating what they feel they need, and finding the machine wanting. People appear to be forgetting that Apple clearly does a lot of research into what is possible, and usage patterns with new hardware.

> The single best reason why the death penalty should be abolished is because it does not have an 'undo' button.

Neither does killing people with drones...
Drives ideally stay in a server machines until they die in a data center, and maybe even typically.. but MS could hardly only take into consideration what was 'typical' when it comes to things like this. And he's writing about engineering decisions made over 15 years ago here - around 1998 it certainly was more common to move hard drives around between machines. I probably did this at least 100 times just working for one company for a couple of years.

That said, it would still be one hell of a weird edge case to need to take a drive out of an x86 Win2k server, drop it into an Alpha Win2k server, and still care about its contents (vs wiping it for a newly provisioned host). But when you are writing OS filesystems, you have to care about edge cases... especially edge cases that may apply to thousands of racks worth of machines.
For those who don't know, technical lettering is pretty standardized:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_lettering

> It is used to describe, or provide detailed specifications for, an object. With the goals of legibility and uniformity, styles are standardized and lettering ability has little relationship to normal writing ability.
Couldn't agree more.

It's also pointless to try and convince someone who thinks otherwise either, I found it better to let the those developers shoot themselves in the foot and learn the hard way. It's the only way they'll learn.
Actually I don't think we run Mono in production anywhere. We use Linux for infrastructure bits (Kafka, Redis, etc), maybe for services written in Node or Go, and probably a few other things I'm not thinking of. Once NetStandard 2.0 is out and finalized for .NET Core we'll probably take another look at running our F# services on Linux.
It is the low-level assembler-related machinery in LLVM.

Amazon | AmazonUI (AUI) | Seattle; San Francisco | Onsite | Full-Time

AUI is the Front-end platform being adopted on Amazon.com. We are modernizing the company's front end code base, while diving deep on latency, performance, API design, user experience, and cross browser/device compatibility. Basically, we need people who can build libraries, not just use them.

Our team is incredibly customer-centric. For any given situation, we have to make the right choice on behalf of the folks using our platform -- and we have to do it at scale. That may sound cliche, but within the next hour AUI will be used to generate tens of millions of page views. And that's just in the US. Worldwide, we're used on more than 96% of requests across all device categories.

It's a lot of responsibility, but also a lot of opportunity. For example, we can run experiments that change almost every page on Amazon.com. We can also impact the page load time for the entire site. We use these tools (but don't expect you to know all of them): HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ruby, Java, Perl, Git

If you're interested in engineering or technical program manager roles, drop us an email: aui-hn (@) amazon (.) com

Don't forget the pressure on prosecutors to arrest a serial killer, the chances of pinning it on someone (say a relative) is nonzero. But the chance of undoing a wrongful death penalty is exactly zero.

I don't know if giving you data about YC applications would be fair.

I can confirm that when I applied, they only looked at our video and never saw our demo/prototype.

Some things I believe help making into YC much easier (but not guaranteed):

- Female founders or co-founder

- Very fast and demonstrable traction

- Large potential market

- Founders with successful backgrounds (looks like you got that covered)

--

Stuff that won't help on its own:

- Interesting / world changing project (unless you have demonstrable traction). They say they invest in idea-stage companies, I believe that only happens with founders with huge exits on their backs.

Note that this is just my own opinion and I did NOT get into YC and I'm still a BigCo employee.
Why use CloudFlare? If you're already on AWS why not just use CloudFront? I've been using CloudFront on my WP installations for a few years now, ever since they've started supporting GET and POST requests.
I believe they mean a feature that you would like Siri to have.
React Native vs. NativeScript
Hey everyone. With the rise of JavaScript on mobile, I am starting this discussion to compare the two biggest native JavaScript mobile frameworks: React Native and NativeScript. Both are relatively young, but growing fast. To me, React Native seems to have a bigger community and tends to be more mainstream (many products are adding official RN support), but {N} has some awesome features like 100% native API access via JS. So what does the JavaScript community think? Where do you think React Native and {N} are headed and what made you choose one over the other? Let's see if I can get some interesting content from both sides!
While I get the point he makes, and I'm certain that the team aren't idiots, I vehemently disagree. Amiga had a popular third-party library called XPK that let you install system-wide codecs on your system, and then any XPK-aware app installed could use any of those codecs to compress and decompress data on the fly. There were also patches on the filesystem so that the OS itself could detect a file's compression algorithm and decompress it transparently for apps that didn't know about XPK.

In short, in the early 90s Amiga had configurable per-file compression algorithms. There were CPU-optimized versions of almost all of those codecs, so someone using an ancient 68000 could interact with files compressed by a PPC. I could pull a drive out of my fast system and give it to a buddy with an old, slow CPU, and he could either 1) live with the reading speed penalty, 2) decompress each file one time and then use the unpacked versions, or 3) recompress each file with an algorithm more friendly to his system.

I don't think the Windows OS team is dumb by any stretch. I do think they might have been hampered by NIH syndrome, and weren't aware of (and likely couldn't care less about) how these problems were solved on other OSes.

No. Please. Not Gimp as "Photoshop". It may have some of the features but if more than a casual photoshop'r... Gimp will cause you pain.

Don't get me wrong, I think for free software Gimp is amazing and it works great for some. But not if you're used to the full Photoshop suite.

Great thanks! Got it.
Can you post some names and links? I'd like to check them out.
The lack of an "undo" button is not exclusive to the death penalty, many serious forms of punishment are irreversible.

Why, in your view, is it much worse for the state to jail an innocent person for a long time (say, their entire adult life) instead of killing them?
I wish there was something like this for Python. Sure we have Jupyter/iPhyton and sure we have Spyder, but nothing even comes close to RStudio.
No it does not kill performance. Decompression is a very fast operation. I have all of my drives compressed, it is fine.

You're gonna have a lot of fun once you transcend beyond 'single central application' and have multiple apps interfacing with your data.
It's been a long time since I read Foundation, but I'm pretty sure Asimov was too smart to explain how those "ultrawave relays" worked. As a reader I am therefore free to assume that they are based on future physics discoveries (maybe involving wormholes?). That's fine as long as there is no obvious contradiction of known physics.

The really hard way though is to do what Robert Forward did in "Flight of the Dragonfly [1]: it includes 30+ pages and 12 figures with technical details. He worked it all out at the level of a real mission proposal.

The death penalty makes no logical sense. It only appeals to primitive emotions.

Why have a penalty which 1) Can never be reversed if you kill an innocent 2) Cost a lot more than life in prison.

Now why it might be argued that a killer has no right to life, what about those close to the killer? Killers might have a wife, husband, brother, sister, friends, mother and a a father. By killing the killer you inflict hardship on these people. To what purpose? In prison this person can't hurt anybody else, so why unnecessarily reduce the life quality of somebody else.

I see it being argued that the victims families deserve this, but I think that has been learnt and conditioned in society. E.g. in my own country Norway, I hardly ever read about victims and relatives who desire a death penalty or any particularly harsh or painful punishment. I think the desire for revenge is something which is simply promoted by conservative christian groups.

Except that historically it wasn't exactly a perfect record and faking evidence is still quite possible.

Killing someone as punishment is simply not fault-proof and the whole idea behind a justice system worthy of the name is that it tries very hard to protect the innocent even if that means some of the guilty will go free or will escape punishment. 'Perfect' evidence rarely is, and even confessions are not always true.

I think this system breaks down more than the imperfect implies, but still works alright. Let's say I live somewhere that cost of living is more than Chicago, but less than SF/NYC, such as DC. You are now asking people to take pay cuts, which reduces the potential employee pool, certainly one of the perks of being a remote company. Of course, the reverse also occurs where people living somewhere with a lower cost of living would probably really want to work for you guys thanks to a much larger salary, so I suppose it ultimately balances itself out.

We're building a fundamentally new type of financial institution—one that automatically manages your money for you. This basically means a bank that uses machine learning to automatically manage its customers' money more efficiently than humanly possible—balances their budget, pays their bills, saves and invests—and at the end of the day, leaves them with disposable income, less stress, and a path to a better life.

Nava | Washington DC & San Francisco SF | DevOps/Infrastructure/Systems Engineers, Software/Fullstack Engineers, Frontend Engineers| On-site - Full-time | $100k-$160k+ + equity + rad benefits

We're a small team of engineers, designers, and product builders that were brought in to help fix Healthcare.gov in the winter of 2013. Our revamped application is used by millions, converts 35% better, and halves the completion time.

It turns out there’s a lot more to reimagine within government services, which is why we’re partnering with the Department of Veterans Affairs to modernize their appeals system, making millions of veteran’s lives better through the process. Today, the average appeal takes 5 years to process; we can fix this.

It’s surprising how much can be done by a small group of empathetic people with a Silicon Valley mindset, deep technical experience, working closely with dedicated civil servants in government. We’ve started Nava as a public benefit corporation to radically improve how our government serves its people, and we believe that the services our government provides should be clear and reliable. If you feel the same way, we'd love to hear from you at jobs@navahq.com
