Opendesk | London or REMOTE | Lead Developer, Front-end Developer, Full-stack / Systems Developer

https://www.opendesk.cc is an open making platform based around workspace furniture. What's different about our furniture is that it's designed to be distributed as a digital file, downloaded and made locally anywhere in the world. We have a passionate early adopter community, a global network of professional makers and customers like Nike, Etsy, Arup and Digital Ocean.

We're mainly a London-based team of ~20 people working across web design & development, product design, CAD engineering and digital manufacturing. We're looking for a:

* Lead Developer
* Front-end Developer
* Full-stack / Systems Developer

## Lead Developer -- London, £40-65k

You'll lead the development of our online systems. These include a marketing website, a fulfilment marketplace, a design publishing and distribution system and various online integrations.

You need to be full-stack unix, deep on web development with experience across multiple products / projects / stacks and languages. It's a practical, hands-on role leading the team, coding, code reviewing, writing specs, collaborating with designers, making system design and architectural decisions and generally using technology to get things done.

## Front-end Developer -- London, £20-35k

You'll develop front-end interfaces for our customer, maker and designer audiences. You need to be a strong Javascript, CSS and HTML developer able to work with Angular directives and Ruby-based CMS templates. You're comfortable refactoring to improving performance and maintainability.

## Full-stack / Systems Developer -- London or Remote, £20-40k

You're a full-stack polyglot developer happy to design and develop back-end systems, integrations and automated workflows. You'll inherit a medium sized Python web application (Pyramid, SQLAlchemy), Ruby content management system (Spontaneous.io) and a domain specific design publishing and distribution system (see https://opendesk.github.io/winnow/). Your job is to maintain and extend these systems and generally develop and improve our web applications, online systems and infrastructure.

We're looking for talent, drive and passion for our model of open making. All these roles have solution design and decision making responsibility and everything we do is an iterative collaboration between creative technologists.

If that sounds like you then please do get in touch. To be clear: the CTO and Front-end roles must be based in London (we're in Hackney) whilst the back-end roles can be in London or remote. We're ideally looking for you to start in December or January.

If you're interested, email dev-recruitment@opendesk.cc with information about you (CV or profile links), the role you're applying for and a short personalised cover note explaining exactly why you're interested in it.
A surprise. I always felt screens have been one of their best features, with great consistency and brightness so far. I'm looking to replace at the moment, and t460 t560 are shortlisted along with dell and HP. So now I'm clueless again. :p

Don't like the 6 row chiclet keyboard, sound is garbage on recent machines I've had, don't seem as resilient, and not the same attention to detail.

Crapware? Access Connections (Adobe Air made it slow junk), warranty/help/update thing. No Norton any more. They started adding other junk?
The rich did just fine before the New Deal. They'll be fine again. The other 90% of us are going to be left behind, though :-(

It's too bad, though. Our country made a lot of progress and did some amazing things in the 20th century. (even if "our" elites/overlords often did horrible things to other little countries)

Each person sleeps in a coffin that is also an autonomous vehicle. When the emergency alarm is raised (and the plane is on the ground), all of the coffins get dropped off the bottom of the plane and they all drive their individual passengers off to safety.

Pharmacists are well paid and will continue to be well paid because they, as a profession, do things engineers don't:

- Create industry groups that advocate for the profession as a whole, using their seat at the table to influence policy makers

- Oversight over education institutions to ensure quality of graduates

- Collectively organize to ensure fair base pay, sane work schedules, and safe work environments

I'm surprised too. The Lemur (14") just got a CPU upgrade and looks enticing, from a hardware perspective. It's serviceable and can sport 32GB RAM and two disks. Unfortunately it's not a looker. But I'm getting fed up with my Dell XPS 13. HiDPI support is still ... not good in Linux, especially when attaching/detaching screens.

A bug like that is something that you want to squash because the cause might have other unintended consequences that you are currently un-aware of. To assume that there are no other consequences is the error, and the only way to make sure there are not is to identify the cause. This sort of wiping things under the carpet is what comes back to bite you a long time after either with corrupted data or some other consequence.

Now, given the context it doesn't matter whether or not the company or the product dies so I can see where you're coming from but in any serious enterprise that would not be tolerated, but when your code base already has 'thousands of other higher priority bugs' it's a lost cause, point taken. But at some level you have to wonder whether you have 'thousands of higher priority bugs' because there is such a cavalier attitude to fixing them in the first place.
The constant in all of it is JavaScript. Frameworks and libraries have advantages and tradeoffs relative to that constant. Evaluating them as the flavor of the day changes will always be in that context...even backend versus frontend architectures ultimately is.

Follow-up from last month's comment [0]:

A few days after that post, I got an email from a human who had actually read and reviewed my application materials. Very refreshing response and left a great impression. Did not progress further in their process at this time.

I can see how responding individually to a large volume of applications would be very tough to do in a reasonable timeframe.

Total time from my first submission to a human response was 15 days. If that represents a peak period, maybe it's a good upper bound on what to expect. I wonder what the lower bound is.

Sneaky Causes of Weight Gain That Aren’t Food or Excercise
Quantum Mechanics is pretty damn solid. I expect they'll find their evidence, and figuring out that something is possible in QM is more than good enough reason to try it.

If that turns out to be false then QM will have been disproven, which is even bigger news!
Easier, it still preserves names.
An interesting angle that I read a paper on in grad school a few years ago but don't have handy: because of the asymmetric growth of CPU speed vs. hard drive speed, you can actually get performance gains by enabling filesystem compression. It seems counter-intuitive, but it boils down to "can I compress this data faster than the disk can write it?"

If you're blasting highly compressible data to disk, compressing it on the fly can, in some circumstances, have a net bandwidth greater than just writing the data to disk (and greater than the disk alone is capable of). Yes, you incur more CPU load, but it's a net win. It's not universally true, YMMV etc.

56 hours! Wow.

My worst was 42 hours (with an 8 month old baby) going from the US to New Zealand via Australia. It included an unscheduled 10 hours in SYD due to Virgin Australia not understanding visa regulations for New Zealand. VA tried to have us sent back to the US and Australian customs ended up giving the airline a five figure fine due to how long they delayed us. The thought of another 15 hour flight with a baby after 38 hours was not a happy one...

How to Win at Online Dating at Any Age
One way to handle "service discovery" is to assign a distinct port to every service, run an haproxy on every host, and always make cross-service calls through localhost:port. Health checks and config management keep the haproxies up to date, and applications don't have to know which hosts to ring.

Having only a handful of load balancers forces all your internal traffic through a handful of bottlenecks and points of failure, and you still need custom logic in your applications to try another load-balancer when the primary is dead.

> Information is not merely an epiphenomena of matter and energy but a primary "thing." If that is the case then there should be an E=mc^2 type equation that relates matter to information and energy to information and all three should be interconvertible.

I'm not sure I agree with this premise, but one thing I've been musing about is that there's probably an information-theoretic lower bound for the amount of energy it takes to transmit a given quantity of data a given distance. You can pick different points along a curve (higher bandwidth/higher frequency signals need higher power to produce a given SNR, and lower-bandwidth/lower-frequency signals can produce the same SNR at a lower power) but there is some asymptotic energy limit there that you cannot beat unless you have an infinitely sensitive receiver.

Anyway, what I'm going for here is that your unifying theorem there would probably be Shannon-Hartley, since that deals with the transfer (derivative) of information. The "noise" is whatever natural equilibrium opposes the transformation process, and your SNR dB is the equivalent of the rate constant in chemistry.

It's all fairly useless without some idea of how we convert hashes back into energy of course. Without that, there is insufficient data for a meaningful answer.
Thanks for mentioning that. You sent me down a brief rabbit-hole of nostalgia looking for the EV4/EV5 differences. If anybody else wants to go down that rabbit-hole here's where I ended-up: http://alasir.com/articles/alpha_history/alpha_21164_21164pc...
>No USB-C ports. No Thunderbolt 3 ports.

Why would you want or need either of these for a Windows/Linux machine? USB-C is near non-existant and the Carbon uses the Lenovo flat connector for charging. Instead you get 3 USB3.0 ports.

> Too many video out ports

Who cares? They aren't taking up space. You get HDMI for easy connecting to a TV without any adapters and a mini-displayport for everything else. Seems like a win-win to me. HDMI is the most common and near universal video connector now. The lack of HDMI on Apple laptops is inexcusable.

> Unnecessary SD slot

Uh, another who cares. Hell, put a second OS on there for kicks, load up photos from your mom's old camera, run a hypervisor on it and use local storage for your VM's, etc.

> 6th generation CPU.

The i7 model has a i7-6500U from Q3 2015. Its fairly newish and a great performer considering its energy use. The current X1 is in its 4th generation and from early this year, so of course it has a late 2015 processor. More than likely you'll see a 5th generation early next year if getting the newest processor is important to you. Not that intel's yearly offerings differ too greatly from last year's model.
