Tracelytics | Boston/Cambridge/Providence | Full Time | Onsite

I'm the co-founder of Tracelytics, a distributed tracing product that's used by engineers at companies like Kayak, HubSpot, Care.com, etc to monitor their production apps. We're hiring and if you might be interested in working on technical software with big data viz, you should check us out! I've excerpted the job post below. (Our team is small--15--but distributed; we're also hiring for different roles in SF and Vancouver.)

--

The Trace team in Cambridge, MA is looking for a senior software engineer who specializes in web applications with sophisticated data visualizations. We make a tool that allows software engineers to monitor the performance of their web applications even when they are distributed across multiple technologies and on multiple hosts (https://traceview.solarwinds.com/).

Our team consists of about 15 engineers distributed across offices in Cambridge, Providence, RI, and Vancouver. We're a smart, experienced, and opinionated bunch who care a lot about shipping well-engineered code that makes our users happy and care very little about who's smartest or best at winning arguments. Our team size and relative independence give us the flexibility and agility of a startup but our parent company, SolarWinds, provides the financial stability and resources we need to do high quality engineering.

This position is located at our office in the Cambridge Innovation Center (CIC) in Cambridge's Kendall Square. The CIC is convenient to the Red Line and features many great perks including community events and classes, well-stocked kitchens, and an energetic atmosphere amid lots of startups. Also ping pong tables.

Thanks for your opinion. It has been removed.
After having failed at my first startup, and having partially succeeded in second, I couldn't agree more on those two points.

The debt accrued on my first startup still haunts me. And I really wish, I slept more and worked out more during the period. It is really a simple advice, to sleep and to work out. But when you are a sinking ship, you could hardly follow it.

Yup! My father gave me a copy in 1992 and as late as 1997 I used the mammoth-infested diagram of a half-adder (the only depiction I had access to in my teenage pre-internet-connection days) to build a 4-bit full adder out of discrete logic.
I think anything is a great alternative to the Office at this point. In hindsight, LibreOffice's name must've been chosen by a fortune-teller..or a <strike>pessimist</strike> realist ;)
I was amused by this line-

>We try to avoid “permanent exclusives” – first but wrong.

Funny way to phrase it!
Reuters is consistently my favorite news source. What I love about them is how they sell news to everyone, so they've got to make it as factual and unbiased as possible. Of course, like any news organization, they have a few biases, but I think that purely because of the position that they're in they are the least biased news source today.

They might sell the same article to Russia Today, the New York Times, Fox, Al Jazeera, and the Times of India, so they can't cater to one crowd's political biases. I'm serious; all these news sources pay for Reuters articles.

And even if you don't like Reuters, you've got to respect the speed at which they get out correct news. Before the Twittersphere erupts, before CNN loses its mind, before the alerts on the radio, Reuters has it. And if they don't know something, they say that they don't know it. It can make for frustratingly light articles, but any time I'm annoyed how empty the article is I realize that if it was bigger it'd be fluff or unverified claims.
The search for mechanism in human functional brain networks
We're migrating to Rancher from a mix of Jenkins tasks and manual deploys on AWS machines (ie: a mess) and the product is great. I've evaluated both DCOS and k8s about 7-8 months ago and found a k8s a bit complex and moving really fast (we're a small ops team so we can't spend too much time browsing documentation and keeping up with the latest way of doing things). I didn't like DCOS for various reasons (it seemed less mature and the community was too small.)

Rancher is also a breeze to deploy, I could manually deploy it with one hand tied behind my back in 10mn on AWS.
I think these are excellent guidelines. If Reuters adheres to them, they'll continue to rise above the other mainstream media outlets. I suspect they'll be unlikely to come under fire from the current Administration, whose feud with the media seems to be concentrated on "info-tainment" organizations like CNN that for years now have eschewed factual reporting for titillation and talking heads.
There's a slight inaccuracy here; by simply saying "donated to Clinton" you imply that the donation was to Hillary Clinton's campaign. The donation was, however, to the Clinton Foundation.

Given that the donations to the Clinton Foundation also came from conservative media outlets such as Newsmax and Fox, I'm confident that donating to the Clinton Foundation does not prove bias towards Hillary Clinton.
Again, yup! To this day I can remember that warp coil plasma injectors work their way up to a maximum frequency of 50Hz at about Warp 8 and then merely keep increasing warp plasma flow. ;)

No problem. Happy to elaborate if you have questions.
How do you think you could test this hypothesis?
>The median [...] just has a small advantage in that it will always map a real observation, so for discrete data you don't end up with things like "1.9 legs."

If you listen to someone like Taleb, the main advantage they mention for the median is that it's a more robust statistic. For fat-tailed distributions the average can jump all over as new data come in.
I'm pretty sure they'll still be around. They're all open source.
How many times do I have to repeat myself on this point? I'm not refuting that the company could do awful things. I'm explaining that if you're an ass hole to the person who can change it and make sure it stays changed for everyone in the future, it's not going to happen.

AppFormix | San Jose, CA | Full Time | ONSITE

Full Stack Developer

Did you spend four or more years working hard towards your education to be unfulfilled by your work? Do you feel like you are having no impact in your current job? Do you know that you can bring a fresh perspective to challenges but aren’t given the chance? At AppFormix, our team is creating new products and features and all of our work is directly seen or used by our growing customer base. Our engineers work together as a team, collaborating and discussing new ideas daily. We share our ideas openly without worry for who gets the “glory” because when the team wins, we all win.

Honestly, AppFormix is not for everyone. If collaboration isn’t your cup of tea and working in a very agile environment bothers you, then we probably are not the best match. But, if you are relentlessly focused on the quality of your code, see the value in peer code reviews, and have an interest in cloud computing, then we might be a match and you should apply. As a member of this team, you are creating products that will be used by all of our customers. On a daily basis you will be doing code reviews, working with your team to overcome challenges, and creating a UI that is second to none.

The most successful engineers in this role have: - A Computer Science degree and/or 2 years of related work experience - High proficiency in Javascript, AngularJS, and NodeJS - Experience with HTML5, CSS3 - Superb communication skills - A thirst to continue learning - A desire and interest to learn and work in the Docker ecosystem

So Reuter's position is that the media environment in the US is rapidly becoming like illiberal democracies in Egypt, Russia and Iran, and so its time to use skills applicable when operating within typically third world authoritarian regimes. What heart warming times we live in.

As long as your apps run well in containers (Docker or Rkt or others even), they can run and work well on K8s, which also runs well on AWS. You should consider K8s to replace imperative CM-based (Salt/Ansible) deployment mechanisms. The native pod abstraction in K8s can also nicely address multi-container composition issue you mentioned.
It's actually not the same. But I would recommend trying them on first somehow... not sure how. I have them if you're in San Francisco lol
If you think anyone that wants to negotiate a contract as a "handful" you are the problem.

Contracts are negotiations, if you are unwilling to negotiate your side of the contract YOU are the handful... and probably worth not working with.

This is not solvable by humans or machine learning.
For example "leonardo dicaprio charity linked to 3 bil money laundering scandal", "raport says trump spent night with hookers in Russia", "angelina jolie divorcig brad pitt", "terrorist attack in Paris, 200 dead" etc. Some of those headlines seems like clickbait and false news but they are not, good luck with classifying those and similar.

Offtopic, but that's a really awesome idea for our veterans. Thanks for working on it!
Which would be a terrible idea. since both energy, and energy storage is a commodity. GM may as well merge with United Fruit Company.

The only two gains I could see would be diversification (But then why not merge with Bank of America? Or Google?), and an integrated logistics system (Except that logistics for electricity and gasoline are long-solved non-problems - and have nothing to do with auto manufacturing.)
Not to mention that, in any successful project, there are going to be systems that need to be looked at by someone else. It's great for the original developer(s) that they can use their IDE to access files directly in containers, but if I'm called to investigate a running system then I'm going to end up in a shell on those hosts.

The only place I can see this never happening is in large enterprises that have huge departments with slow enough turnover that "the accepted workflow" is easily passed on to new hires. Referring to everyone else as "mom & pop shops" makes it sound like the speaker is living in a Silicon Valley enterprise bubble.

I find it amusing to see that term used as an insult on a site largely populated by startups.
Good point .. maybe a dual set based on the user locale..

The company that employs my girlfriend fires full-time employees all the time. so it can't be that hard .
Both parties are computing some spreadsheet formulas contributing their own secret inputs, in such a way that both learn the result but not the input of the other party: it's cryptographically impossible to do so. Regular collaborative spreadsheet software doesn't do that: actually, this is the first program for normal computer users that is able to do so (and not cryptographers specialized in secure multi-party computation).

It depends on your business: if you are bank, a financial firm or any other that handles very valuable and confidential data, you need secure computation on any of its forms (garbled circuits, secret sharing, homomorphic encryption).

Encrypting and emailing is encryption at rest, you're not encrypting the computation.

Stack Exchange has had over 100,000+ communities started in some form, but there are only 162 that made it and still exist, so while it's true they're very good at doing Q&A for some topics, they've failed at the majority of them.
(1) Was the process of discussing and negotiating the opportunity with these people pleasant or unpleasant?

(2) All the other stuff.

Of course the "other stuff" (moving forward in one's career, not signing on to the prolonged early death of a torturously long commute and/or dealing with unpleasant or just uninspiring coworkers all day) should be most important. But it's amazing how many companies just don't seem to care, or any awareness at all about the importance of item (1). And quickly start pulling all kinds of stunts (from delayed communications to silly questions to just being highly disorganized in general about the whole process) that make one just as quickly lose interest long before things actually come to the offer stage -- even if the position does offer a high salary and/or interesting work.
