MLB Advanced Media (BAMTech) | New York, NY | (Sr.) Software Engineer || ONSITE or REMOTE, Full time

Join our team and help us drive the cord-cutting revolution! MLB Advanced Media (now BAMTech) isn’t just about streaming Baseball – we also manage HBO Now, NHL, Twitter NFL, Fox Sports Go, WWE, and several other content providers. You would be helping a team whose services act as the linchpin for video playback, handling new challenges of scale and speed in a rapidly growing industry. The company is aggressively expanding to meet increased demand, and you would be getting in on the ground floor of this new opportunity. You would help the team create new designs to meet our scaling demands, build out services in cloud infrastructure providers with exposure to AWS EC2, S3, Dynamo, and Kinesis, and help the team introduce new processes to scale. If you like tinkering with new technologies, have experience with high scale systems, or simply want to gain exposure to new tools, this team is a great fit. You’d be helping the team embrace microservices architecture with an emphasis on non-blocking, highly concurrent programming. Experience with Scala/Play/Akka is highly preferred, but not a requirement. With strong CS fundamentals and an entrepreneurial attitude, you’d be an asset to our team.

Why can't someone just be a professional who generates value?

Because fit. Because duty has limits, but passion can be exploited. In the words of Leonard Cohen: "He taught that the duty of lovers / is to tarnish the golden rule."
Ok. If you really can't tell the difference between "hour late for dinner" and terrorism, then either you're trolling or you're beyond hope.

If you think you know a better way to lead protests, by all means show us how. But I have no time for armchair experts whose only contribution is "u r doin it rong bcuz I dont lik it".

The people who would say, "maybe those refugees deserved it" because something was mildly inconvenient for them were never, ever going to stir themselves to do the compassionate thing. Ditto the people who value a sliver of comfort over helping legal residents arbitrarily ejected from their homes.

Your claims here are those of the white moderates that MLK called the greatest stumbling block to black freedom. Apparently you haven't yet bothered to read his "Letter From A Birmingham Jail". But I'm done trying to spoon-feed it to you, so if you'd like to pursue this further, take it up with him.
Well I bet I can guess what Silicon Valley billionaires will be doing within a decade!

Blockai | Sr. Backend Engineer | San Francisco | https://blockai.com

We're hiring our first backend engineer to work on a reverse image search engine for the whole web. Our ideal candidate has experience with data intensive systems, web crawling, search/indexing and/or computer vision.

We started Blockai with the simple belief that people who create things should own their creations. As the world continues to change and many jobs get automated, one of the few things that won't be replaced is creativity. Thus, it is an imperative that there be proper infrastructure for creators to manage, monitor and monetize their work. We believe what we are building will enrich the lives of creators and inspire more people to create, making the world a better place.

If you're up for the challenge, send me an email (oli@blockai.com) and mention HN.

It doesn't have to be Chrome. It could be Edge, Opera, Firefox or some other browser that's yet to be invented. Currently none of these will ever exist on iOS.

It's a NUMA system, an SGI UV: https://www.sgi.com/products/servers/uv/ It actually has 2048 cores and ~7TB of memory.
I've had to deal with enough code fueled by enthusiasm. I much prefer working with code fueled by best practices, focus, and competence.

Sorry, can you explain? (Not playing "gotcha", I really don't understand.)
Hell, I sometimes forget which end of the Ethernet cable plugs in where.
Meanwhile, most web applications are content with 1/10th of the computing resources that are deployed for them, regardless of language or framework.
Time dilation should be negligible at low speeds; the effect is gamma = (1-(v/c))^(-.5)
It was definitely there three years ago. The trick is to create an <a> with the "download" attribute and set the URL to a data URI (or, if supported, use a blob and URL.createObjectURL). That will get you a download prompt.
GitLab | Remote Only | Hiring All Roles

We're hiring VP of Engineering, production engineers, build engineers, Sr. Go + Ruby developers, and more, see https://about.gitlab.com/jobs/ We're a remote only company so everyone can participate and contribute equally. GitLab Community Edition is an open-source Ruby on Rails project with over 1000 contributors.
That's why you have interviews... use them wisely instead of asking silly questions.
No, we're not surprised by microbenchmarks. We're surprised by the amount of investment in trying to improve the foundations of toppling-over buildings when that investment could be better spent elsewhere.

SEEKING WORK

I live on a school bus with my partner and our baby. We have power metering via Raspberry Pi, neopixel lighting, externally mounted wifi antennae, a budding solar system, etc.

I am most interested in working on embedded / micropython / off-grid tech stuff.

I've also done quite a lot of Python web stuff (Django and other frameworks), including a fair amount of async.

We drive around North America. I mostly work remote, but for the right opportunity, I can come to you.

At its core, Gandalf is just a large collection of scripts and playbooks which are written to work very generically. They're slotted into an overall framework which I wrote that can "learn" the architecture of a particular company/app and customize things intelligently. NLP works on top of this to map user input to playbooks.

There's still a decent amount of human intelligence involved though, since obviously we want to give customers a good experience. This mainly comes in upfront (where we tune the implementation for each customer) and for any tasks which Gandalf hasn't learned to do yet. I've also invested in making it easier to train Gandalf to do things—for example, I can say "watch me" and then do a bunch of things with the AWS console/API and they get turned into a parametrizable playbook.

Any good DevOps engineer invests heavily in automation. Gandalf is just one level up of automating the process of automation.

If you have any other questions, feel free to email morgante@getgandalf.com.
The period is effectively infinite now, since congress keeps retroactively extending it.

Also, the SMB protocol does not contain any copyrightable material, like music, sprites, icons, game assets, etc. Copyright law prevents you from faithfully cloning (pixel for pixel) most GUIs and games (so most phone apps)

The Taxi App: Curb connects you to reliable rides from professional drivers
You have a typo in the code for zero, it doesn't end with 1. The reason 0 can't be 0100000 is that's the start of the printable characters and an established standard/requirement was that space collate below all other printable characters. So you have to start with space, you can't put 0 there.
I deploy on bare metal. Docker, Kubernetes, et. al add layers of complexity that I don't need. I'm not saying that they don't have benefits at a certain scale, but for the types of single-server deployments I do, I have not been convinced.
Got it. ty
Agreed, I was referring moreso to reddit, facebook, etc, although you do seem the same mentality here now and then.
Thanks. I have some compassion, because none of us really wants to be bothered. I too would like to stay in my comfortable bubble. But sometimes people wake up.
Yes, out of all solutions I'm most excited about GitlabCI and Drone.io

I've worked with a self hosted Gitlab instance before and that was nice, but I'm not quite sure how well the Gitlab CI would integrate when the code is on github.

The market balance between OPEC cuts and US shale
There are levels. Obviously the best test is 3 backups on 3 different continents (in the future one of the backups will be on Mars), with regular tests that each site can restore from scratch.

Even the minimum level: an untested backup to the same disk is better than what most people have. That untested backup is there and protects against accidental file deletion - which will eventually become a test for most people. If the disk fails it is also something to work with. If you tell a disaster recovery service that there is a backup they can use that redundancy to their advantage: odds are physical damage isn't to both the backup and the read data and they only have to recover one. Even if the damage is to both there is something to work with.

As we move up the ladder there is more and more. An untested backup has data - give me the team a few years and we can recover it. We might have to recreate the restore from scratch, but there is something.

Remember though, the farther down the ladder you are the more expensive recovery can be. If you have tested backups on 3 continents recovery only costs a couple hours downtime - an actuary can put an exact dollar cost on this. If the price is too high you can invest in redundancy on the live system. If you have an untested backup it might be years before your team can recover it: millions of dollars in labor to recover the data and sever years of no/reduced business while they recover it. (hint: the company will go out of business because they cannot afford to recover the data)

If that were true, interns would be worth $300k and 30 year experienced devs would work for free over the summer.
Indeed. I understand my parent to be saying that since we allow this other thing that's more harmful, we shouldn't be so concerned, that there's an inconsistency. My point is that we do make the attempt to reduce the harm of vehicle exhaust, that we do attempt to limit harm (and nuisances, for that matter). We certainly can discuss whether those protections are adequate. And we very well may disagree on the level of protection necessary. That doesn't mean we should dismiss protections on one because we think protections on another aren't sufficient.

Given the recent discussion on Apple's earnings, this bit seemed to be interesting new data point:

"historically a new MacBook Pro has usually helped improve Apple's Mac sales significantly. The late 2013 model boosted overall Mac sales in its debut quarter by 19 percent year-over-year, the mid 2014 variant pushed sales by 21 percent, and even the recent 13- and 15-inch 2015 models both saw increases of around 10 percent in Mac sales in the separate quarters they debuted in."

Of course I do understand it is hard to grasp the power of a REPL when it is a plain old readline CLI app.
I work in the NHS and regularly get the "I'm not a robot" captcha. I know what it is and why it's there when I see it, but colleagues often complain that their "Google" has a "virus".

A lot of NHS traffic goes through a few large networks like THIS [https://www.this.nhs.uk/home/] which don't have especially large IP allocations.
Not on a modern PC, but on the machine ASCII was originally developed for I could definitely see the CTRL key just pulling one bit low on the keyboard encoder.
Evidently there's at least one group of developers who mainly derive their decisions from irrelevant and often incorrectly conducted micro-benchmarks.
We are evaluating Openshift Origin on an existing OpenStack on-premise cloud. So far I have been playing around with the oc cluster up deployment on a local workstation and it works fine but I haven't played around with the CI/CD option (they support jenkins deployments, etc).
From the docs I see that there is a bit of complexity regarding the security constraints and integration of volumes that I need to wrap my head around.

I also attended the DevConf.cz and saw a lot of presentations regarding Openshift. They have most of the talks on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmYAQDZIQGm_kPvemBc_qwg) in case somebody is interested

As a hiring manager, I would never believe this response, because as an interviewee there isn't a company on the planet I could say all these things about AFTER working there for 30 years, much less before working there.
I'd just laugh because anybody who says something like this has no idea how mucked up a simple task can get in the real world. Jeez, are you a second semester business administration UG student?

@Koolba - We hope so! We've had an amazing response from our awesome community. We'd hope that some of those people will submit their resumes!
You make good and fair points.

The first answer I wrote assume you've already described your unique qualities, skills, perspectives earlier in the interview. Because all of those non-monetary contributions absolutely provide value. And they definitely can be, and often are, the difference between success and failure for teams and companies.

I think if you've spent the interview gently highlighting all of the ways you provide value, then when you're hit with a closing question like "Why should I hire you?", you likely won't need to spend too much time describing what that value is. Reiterating a few of the points would often be a good idea, though.

The second, more blunt answer I wrote is probably most appropriate if you're a contractor who has to come in, deliver something valuable very quickly, and then go away.
