It is, and that's why I think it's valuable to take the effort to really try to understand each other's positions - partisan hatred will get us nowhere and at the end of the day, both sides have a lot of value to add to the political conversation.

Of the many conversations I've had with left-leaning people about this, you're the first that has not tried to shut me down with accusations of <something>ism and has listened to my perspective while still being critical - I think that's a valuable attitude to have, and if people took that approach more often we'd have a lot more real progress in politics.

The sad thing is, the left and right are both rooted in classical liberalism, which IMO is the "moral absolute" by which progress should be judged. Unfortunately each side ends up with a caricatured view of the other - the liberal is the subversive/violent socialist who doesn't understand economics or human motivation and just wants to shut down dissent, and the conservative is the closet bigot who wants to use political action to suppress civil rights in order to secure dominance of straight white males over other groups. Building up supporting structures of prejudice around these caricatures causes such a huge rift in society, and we all end up fighting each other instead of building an amalgamation that works to advance everyone's wellbeing.
Work at IA, and to supplement what Kevin posted from an employee's perspective:

- Great team that listens to and appreciates good ideas regardless of where they originate.

- Good location, right at the foot of the Sierras (if you like nature/outdoors). Sane commute from midtown Sacramento if you want to be in the city, but great suburbs/schools.

- No open floor plan

- Much more reasonable COL and traffic relative to the bay

- sane 40 hour work week

Definitely get in touch with Kevin if you have questions, technical or otherwise (Kevin's a team member, he'll give you real non-HRified answers as best he can).
I wonder if you could simply retain an external firm to act as the Beeminder kind of punishment-trust on a corporate level. Then you could say "if we aren't allowed to fire these employees, [this company who holds 99% of our money] is instructed and required to flush it down the toilet."

I also read The Snowball, and my take on it was that Buffett is a seriously duplicitous man. He says one thing and does another. He believes in companies that pay dividends, yet BH does not. He is a folksy family man that has two wives. He is a big Democrat and believer in equality, and yet during the Washington Post workers strike he was working very hard with Katharine Graham to deliver the newspaper and counter the union's efforts.

Netflix shows off brain control system – THINK to choose what to watch
thank you for the Stack overflow post. I'm going to look into the mappings. I'm using vim and dvorak started off awkward but I kind of get used to it. navigating up down on the left hand (jk is cv), navigating left right on the right (hl is jp).
This is a great example of something people should always look for. Contracts can be very uneven with regard to the rights of the parties. And if you ask to balance one out and the other party refuses, walk away. They will screw you.
Very interesting. I worked in a theater at a time when reels still were assembled and test screened usually the night before. Got to see the machines and operation up close and personal. Very technical and highly engineered equipment. Closer to clocks and watches than run-of-the-mill consumer equipment - might be of interest to have a look at the history of the devices!

That sounds very interesting indeed.
The key word is "kill". While it may cause this fever in humans, it won't kill them. However, it will kill birds, because of "their hyper efficient gas exchange systems...that we don't have". That's my takeaway, at least.
In that you want to build a service every month. Best of luck with this endeavor. I think it will be the best learning experience. Would love a long read on what your experience is after this project
Something like what you describe is more or less how statisticians do in fact reason about statistics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sufficient_statistic#Minimal_s..., though only for i.i.d. data from a parametric distribution.

To be fair, GitLab's current issues are purely operational on the GitLab.com side: their backup strategy and testing needs some work, but the product is really solid and most of the features are already there in GitLab CE.

For me, getting GitLab up and running on kubernetes was a breeze (using the popular docker image [1]) and my `pg_dump; duplicity;` backups are chugging right along. I haven't played with their CI yet, but I'm pretty excited to see how much it can do for me automatically managing my cluster.

Nonprofit/Church Technology: Freelance Sales (Remote / Anywhere)

Our calling is to be behind the scenes, using technology to enhance nonprofit impact and sustainability, as well as reducing the distractions and stress on leaders.

We're in need of freelance sales help in 2017! We recently launched a product (Donation Spring - https://www.donationspring.com) and plan to aggressively promote it after the new year. Additionally, we continue to pitch our overall consulting and development services.

What I'm looking for:

- The scope is primarily to find prospects, have initial conversations, identify needs, and provide them as a pre-qualified prospect.
- Someone with sales/marketing chops. A sales or account exec history is helpful, but not a requirement -- we'll consider anyone with relevant backgrounds and personality/passion alignment.
- Experience/familiarity with the nonprofit and church industry.
- Major bonus points to bringing an existing network of nonprofit/church prospects.
- Located anywhere in the US. The more geographically diverse our team can be, the better.
- Freelance contract, part-time, at your own pace. Pay is a generous commission based on lifetime account revenue (negotiable).
- Fun, easy going, and service-centered heart. Our primary focus is serving both nonprofit/church missions as well as helping their staff in any tech-centric way we can.

If that describes you, I'd love to chat!

Many have echo'ed you, but I agree.

The person who made the error is just the straw that broke the camels back. I'm sure these folks knew that they needed to prioritize their backups but other things kept getting in the way. You don't throw people under the bus.
Chocolatey package management is essentially built-in to Windows 10. It unfortunately hasn't gained much traction.

Thank you. Mild wrist pains is what motivated me to start in the first place, will stick with it.
> One feature I like is that you can neatly cut out a 64-character 6-bit all-uppercase encoding (like DEC's) if you don't need lowercase.

And if you take the digits from the 0x3X column and the non-digits from the 0x2X column (flipping one bit), you get 0123456789*+,-./ which is enough to write numbers and the basic arithmetic operators. This too was deliberate.

Awesome! I'm also currently taking Udacity's self-driving car nanodegree, but I think I only intend on doing the first of three semesters because I want to concentrate on the fundamentals, and not necessarily self-driving cars. Do you recommend enrolling or checking out the AI nanodegree? Have you looked at the ML one?
No, we should let the market decide. If the customers at fast food place x all die from fluorinated chemicals then that company will go out of business!

It may be misleading to imply that this is pure Python, but if the C is encapsulated well enough that someone can write their server solely in Python then it's easy to argue that this is Python. After all, Go has bits that are written in assembly, but we don't have to qualify every Go benchmark with an asterisk and a footnote to mention that.
The company knows what the outcome is already:
99% of developers sign.

So why should the company change?
summary(df) will do that for every column of a dataframe with less code... which is why few people use fivenum()

The majority of defaults in R exist because statisticians do these things all the time and don't like typing any more than programmers. Time spent typing could be spent thinking about what assumptions are being violated and whether the results offer any useful insight.
They also fail to mention that for many ' lifetime' salary man positions, the hours are really long but the pay is low.

I'm surprised that changing layout on your phone helped. In my experience so far on dvorak, I'm still used to typing on my qwerty phone. I think typing with thumbs uses a different muscle memory set from fingers on keyboard.
I believe that outside of the weirdness in America and the church, and perhaps a few religious groups a lot of people really don't care. I'd say a vast majority of people in the world aren't caught up this particular whirlpool of emotions.
I'm not exactly sure what is being sold here. Is it an ostensibly-secure spreadsheet as a service?

If I wanted a secure spreadsheet my instinct would be to use LibreOffice on an airgapped system and store it in an encrypted container of some kind... I'm not sure any sort of cloud solutions would even enter into my deliberations if I had truly sensitive stuff to work with.
I meant something else (locations in terms of types countries, cities) but I think would be possible to have multiple location in format. It will not work that way right now, but I can try and test(and extend) the script work that way

I know it's not wal-e, but Barman recently added support for streaming WAL from postgres, so in theory you shouldn't lose any data if the master crashes. Note that this does require a replication slot on the master to implement.

<rant>
It's also stupid that you still have to set up WAL shipping (e.g. via rsync or scp) before taking a base backup even if you have streaming replication enabled.
</rant>

That being said though, I have not been happy with the restore performance of barman, though admittedly this may be I/O related.
I don't think they were bluffing but I was not going to roll the dice and find out. Not a junior level guy either. I think these places that actually let you negotiate your employment contract must be relatively few, very small companies, with one HR person and lawyer and a lot less formality.

EDIT: Also, to be cynical: $30k is nothing for many companies, and likely less than the benefit of having IP rights to everything an employee makes in their spare time.
You can still have regular boxes but turn on them when you need and turn off when your job is over. Let's say you can turn on an instance everyday at 10pm and tell your job to turn off the instance which it runs on when the job ends. It is possible to do it via AWS API.
actually I'd like to see a (~16 bit) Forth backend for LLVM... so I don't have to "think RPN" myself.

just load the binary into serial flash, point the interpreter at it, and of it goes.
Hey HN! Sharing a Slackbot we've been working on for some time. We wanted to figure out a way to ensure important work items don't get lost in conversation streams, especially places like Slack. Project management tools are great but are not reflective of the work that is happening in real time. Fireflies let's you quickly turn messages into tasks. On top of that, it suggests potential tasks you might have missed as it learns over time. Fireflies also classifies certain tasks and let's you take actions like setting up meetings, making calls, etc. Let us know what you think.
Jane Street | Software Developer | New York, London, Hong Kong | ONSITE, FULL-TIME, INTERNS, VISA, http://www.janestreet.com

Jane Street is a quantitative trading firm with a focus on technology, a scientific approach, and a deep understanding of the markets. We are a global liquidity provider and market maker, operating around the clock and around the globe, employing over 500 people in our offices in New York, London and Hong Kong.

It’s no secret that we’re big believers in functional programming; OCaml, a statically typed functional language, is our primary development platform. Jane Street’s technology group is small by design, which means we need to maximize the productivity of each person we hire. We believe functional programming (and specifically, OCaml) helps us do that. But it’s not about productivity alone: programming in a rich and expressive language like OCaml is just more fun. We’re also happy to spend time and money on making it easier for the people here to get things done. This ranges from big projects, like the work we do on development tools (e.g. Iron, our in-house code review and release management system, and Merlin, a tool for providing IDE-like features for OCaml), to little touches, like getting people whatever crazy keyboard will help them get their work done most comfortably.

Want to see some of our code? Visit Open Source @ Jane Street (https://janestreet.github.io/), where you'll find several OCaml libraries that we've released into the wild. These form the basis for all of our software, and we hope they make life better for some non-Jane-Street OCaml developers as well.

If you're not yet convinced, feel free to poke around our benefits page (https://www.janestreet.com/culture/benefits/). If you ARE convinced and want some insight into our interview process, check out https://blogs.janestreet.com/interviewing-at-jane-street/. Or just drop us a resume at https://www.janestreet.com/join-jane-street/apply/.

We’re looking for people with:

- Top-notch programming skills (no OCaml or FP experience necessary!)
- Strong interpersonal skills. Most work at Jane Street is highly collaborative,
and we are looking for people who can work effectively in small, close-knit
teams.
- Deep experience with — and love for — technology. There’s no specific
checklist; we use software to approach a variety of problems, so we’re
interested in everything from low latency networking to systems
administration to programming language design.
This is also what happens to teachers in the New York City school system after they've been caught out reading the newspaper while their students spend all class gambling. They call it the "rubber room".

Technically these teachers are awaiting reassignment, pending arbitration. This is very slow, and I understand that there is a backlog from a long period of time where very little arbitration happened, because the school system was not paying their arbitrators. (Also, they may have decentralized the rubber room in recent years to inhibit visibility.)

I completely agree it's not a good question. I don't think it's hostile, though, just stupid.

Regardless, being unable to hold your temper in the face of a pointless/stupid/vaguely insulting question is a really bad sign for a candidate. If you can't handle this, how are you going to handle it when someone bluntly calls one of your designs terrible?
GoCardless (YC S11) | London | DevOps, Data, Backend and Frontend Engineers | Onsite | Full-time | Visa

GoCardless is building a payments network for the internet. Since 2011 we've been focused on simplifying Direct Debit for small and medium companies (who previously had no access to it) and we're now expanding to serve the largest companies (think newspapers, utilities) and connect with existing payment systems in countries all over the world. We already support the UK and Europe and are aiming to expand to more countries over the next year.

As an engineering team at GoCardless we care most about stable, reliable, understandable code. We rely on testing and code review and a culture of frequent constructive feedback. We define and manage our own roadmap and run projects in whatever way works best for us.

Our stack: Rails, Angular, Postgres, Elasticsearch, Docker, Chef.
We also have a bit of Go and Python knocking around.

We love learning new things and contributing back to the community. We open source everything we can[1] and regularly host meetups and hackathons at our wheelchair-accessable office in Angel. We have a weekly bookclub within the team and give internal (and external) talks about things that interest us.

Interview process: an intro call, one coding challenge, then a couple of onsite interviews (pair programming and some chats - no whiteboards!)
