Senior/Software Developer, Human Genetics Informatics

https://jobs.sanger.ac.uk/wd/plsql/wd_portal.show_job?p_web_...

We are seeking a software developer to join the Human Genetics Informatics (HGI) team at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. HGI is an agile development team responsible for providing efficient access to cutting-edge analysis methods to human genetics faculty groups at the Sanger Institute.

Skilled developers are encouraged to apply regardless of prior job experience, as the focus is on coding and core computer science skills rather than on work experience. Recent graduates or current students in their final year are especially encouraged to apply, although it is essential that any candidate has substantial development experience outside of coursework (e.g. active participation in open source projects or the pursuit of personal coding projects). An interest in scientific research and a strong intellectual curiosity are also necessities, although a formal education in genetics is not required.

Our team's focus is the development and operation of scientific analysis workflows and tools for genetic data analysis, as well as developing the infrastructure necessary to manage the efficient operation of those workflows.

This role will involve working as part of the HGI team to deliver working systems that produce analytical outputs for human genetics faculty research groups within the Sanger. Team members will be expected to produce quality code; to be able to work both independently and closely with colleagues to develop, debug, and optimize their code; and to be comfortable communicating directly with scientific researchers regarding requirements.

My point was that there's not always something to be done "now", and sometimes when you "break things" it, shockingly, has negative consequences that forward-looking changes can't necessarily undo.
I'm a platform engineer turned Android (and more platform) engineer at VSCO. I've been here roughly 8 months, and I can't say enough about the environment and culture. The Android team is remarkable in their skill, resourcefulness and dedication. They are continually pushing the limits of the platform, and serving users globally. Any questions what its like working with two teams (platform or android), shoot me an email: naveen@vsco.co
Mysterious deaths surrounding the Hillary/Podesta leaks: a conspiracy theory.

Mysterious deaths surrounding Russia and the DNC email leaks that showed us that they have been colluding with the media to destroy all political opinions: news.
Thanks. I didn't realize it was so easy to look up. Obvious in retrospect.
You code differently using Git vs SVN? That's an interesting concept.
It doesn't change the way you code it just changes the way we share code.
No, for two reasons.

1. It's a direct response to the idea that Trump won a landslide. The election was actually close by electoral college standards, and losing the popular vote shows he was far from the mandate a landslide suggests.

2. It's evidence that the electoral college system is flawed, and starting to become a problem. 2000 and 2016 are the only 2 elections since before 1900 where the popular vote didn't end up matching the election. This is a problem, and should be talked about.
They always have a dedicated smoking area.

In my NSW experience, you're not allowed to smoke within X meters of an indoor pub (even outside on the public pavement), and certainly not indoors, which makes it smoke free. That said, they probably have special exceptions to allow aircon for farming sadcases at gambling machines in special rooms.
I am not sure if it hurts a candidate more to be labeled "never going to win" vs. "is sure going to win". Trump had to fight against an incredible dominant loser narrative.

He almost was forced to make his voters believe in an alternative reality in order to actually go out and vote.
Sorry, all these arguments seem like non-sequiturs to me.

Physicists might pray together in the cafeteria to come up with good ideas. It doesn't mean God answered their prayers when they have one.

Useful laws need not be exactly correct. You can keep adjusting to stay on course to account for the error due to any simplifications.

Sure causality seems like it must be at least some kind of heuristic, that doesn't mean looking for causes is the best, or even a good, use of time.
As a heavy VB user, XML literals is the one thing I never found useful. For serialisation, the XML serialiser is easier than doing things by hand.
Even at the top end, salaries in Japan are shockingly low AFAICT. Especially if you come out here to the countryside, most programmers are working for insurance companies, etc. I know people with 10 years of experience making in the 3-4 million yen (just over $30-40K USD) range. It's one of the reasons I do remote contracts.
It's kind of a shame, one of the thing I value most about working in tech is the apolitical stance a lot of companies take.

Yes. Maven has been doing package management right for years (and avoids the wasteful repetition that node does, that can often hide silent incompatibilities until runtime).
Sweet! What's the best way to contact you?
Do you think that is a good reason to be snarky?

The title of the OP's post wasn't "I need a way to make some quick extra cash". Most people I know work on side projects more for learning and career development. I gave an answer based on that prior belief.

Sometimes, hype exists because things are genuinely cool. I feel this is the case for VR and smart tools. On the other hand, I'd be inclined to agree with you about chat bots, for instance.
After Effects isn't a video manipulation tool.
Video manipulation is one of its capabilities, it is also capable of motion graphics and animating vector shapes.
This library works off the vector shape side of after effects.
I don't think she 'tricked Buffett' on the deal. She started the competing business in anger after arguing with members of her family about running the main business. Dunno about the ethics. It worked out pretty good for Buffett in the end. He bought NFM for $80m and last year the Dallas branch alone did $750m in sales.
Alloy | San Francisco, CA and Vancouver, BC | Full-time, Onsite | https://alloy.ai

Over $20 trillion worth of goods are manufactured, transported, and sold each year - the things we use, wear and eat every day. The global supply chain is one the world's largest economic engines, but it struggles to keep up with its own complexity.

The manufacturers, distributors, and retailers that make up this complex network are limited by the information they posses. They struggle to track and respond to supply and demand as their product travels from production to consumer. Those who try rely on 40-year-old data standards, lots of manual Excel work, and hordes of human middleware.

At Alloy, we’re set to change all this. We provide the first comprehensive, low-latency view of demand and inventory across all distribution channels. Our platform connects manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and retailers, allowing companies to track their products down to the store shelf and better respond to end-consumer demand.

We are post-revenue, well funded by leading VCs, and winning contracts from well known brands. Our small team has diverse backgrounds and experience in analytics, large-scale enterprise SaaS, and retail and financial technology. Culture really matters to us: we value diversity in all forms and strive to foster integrity, respect, and open communication.

We're committed to make enterprise software inspiring. We use Google Cloud Platform, Postgres, Redis, Python, Java and React, all wrapped in strong design.

== About You ==

You thrive in a small team where you can build technology from the ground up. You love to pick up new tech, get good at it fast and do something creative with it.

You don’t shy away from even the most challenging problems and are relentless in always looking for better solutions. You are self-motivated and enjoy working with others towards a common objective. Building software is the means to an end: you want to change the way an entire industry operates.

As an engineer at Alloy, you’ll do any or all of the following:

* Model parts of the supply chain and develop features that bring them together

* Automate the collection, parsing, and storage of huge volumes of data

* Design a flexible but blazing-fast analytics framework that powers instant insights

* Build beautiful, easy-to-use apps that our customers love to use

* Dive into server provisioning, deployment, automation, and monitoring

We would love to hear from you - send me a note at evan@alloy.ai

I do accept engineering feats as evidence people know what they are talking about. Are there any tasks where one of these "causality-aware" robots [algorithms] outperforms "pattern-recognition" robots?

From the brief summary it sounds very hypothetical, especially compared to the causality-agnostic pattern-recognition approach which I have seen work surprisingly well. That group has convinced me they are on to something quite big.
Why? That minister got the NZ public $700m USD in disaster relief in an exchange that cost them virtually nothing. If anything he should be given an award for outstanding excellence in the field of defrauding rich yanks.

EDIT: 700k, not 700m. Still, not a bad deal.
The impression I got was that they were offloading background checks while the computer was sleeping to the ARM chip. Hopefully bringing iOS's low power performance to the desktop.
I think it is genuine sense of wonder of a web developer. I have been told many times to update my ancient hardware when I say Java is memory hog and slow on a 6GB Windows7 laptop.

Some people don't think that those massive 16/32G MBPs etc with SSDs are not available to everyone.
What did you use instead?
There are ARM Chromebooks and I don't think they last for days. I'm pretty sure most of the power draw on a laptop is the monitor
I can imagine arguments for either side. My point was that you generally want to avoid cases that could go either way. State law said that if I met three criteria, then my employer couldn't claim ownership. I figured that if I only met two criteria, I might or might not end up in a fight with the company. So the solution was to be sure I met all three conditions.

From the company's standpoint, anything I wrote in the scope of my employment, using their equipment, was theirs. And, really, anything I wrote and checked into their source control was obviously something I was saying they had a legal ability to use.

But there is a lot of ground between what is clearly theirs and what is clearly mine, and I believe the best approach is to either avoid that ambiguous ground, or come up with an actual agreement to clarify any vagaries. You want it in writing, but it doesn't have to be an overly-formal contract. It could be a signed letter (from somebody with the authority to give up the company's potential copyright interest; which is probably not your immediate manager).
Ahh, the whole, "If your company is mistreating you, it's your fault" argument.

Aaah, the old "put words into someone's mouth and then refute an argument that has nothing to do with what they actually said" trick. Cute.

I would like to advertise again my favourite measurement of skewness, the medcouple:

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

It's robust (25% breakdown point) and is kind of the "optimal" measurement of skewness, as it's computed as the median of all possible interquartile range-like statistics.

I hope someone implements the faster algorithm for Python's statsmodels.
Not everyone has their own copy of the project's issues/pull requests/settings/webhooks/CI config/etc., which the incident affected (and 6 hours worth were lost). Git repositories themselves do have the happy side effect that at least someone on your team has a full latest clone on their machine, but that's only because the source code is what you're there to use every day. Even if GitLab had a great "checkout your issues/etc. as a git repo" story, not many users would have an up-to-date copy backed up 100% of the time.
Github was just a follower with a new SCM. The original would be source forge.
I've worked in the low budget end of TV. Studio stuff mainly. The number of close calls I've seen are unbelievable, but nothing quite on that scale.

We did have one guy get a minor electric shock because the producer had him changing a light. He was on top of a five foot ladder but with no spotter ("Health and safety BS!") and the producer never bothered to tell him that it was still carrying current, even when the fader was right down. That's not the only time someone's fallen off a ladder, or had a shock. Not once was it reported to the health and safety people, either.

There were also cable loops standing up from the ground (we used short pieces of carpet offcuts to hold them down, never worked and people would trip up. The business manager would never authorize the cash to have flush-mount patch panels installed in the floor (a legal requirement). Also not reported.

One memory is how we had a strict uniform requirement, which often resulted in inappropriate dress for a location. There were a couple of location shoots in below-freezing conditions - in one place, three staff came down with hypothermia because they were clad in sweatshirts and jeans, another it was just one guy in a shirt and dress pants standing outside for seven hours while ice formed on car windows. That particular day, the lucky staff indoors were exposed to unsafe sound levels, with no protection, for the whole shoot. None of these incidents were reported, nor was it reported that the guy who drove the equipment truck back to the studio had been smoking pot for the whole night, in front of the senior staff at the location. Maybe he shared the joint.

Chuck in some 12+ hour shifts without breaks, people working on scaffolding who had no clue how to operate safely, or the guy who replaced an old monitor only to accidentally drop the failed unit, and ended up hauled in front of the Production Manager to account for his "unsafe" actions.

Equipment was never maintained: if something broke, it was the person using it at the time, not the 20-year-old tripod with broken spreaders and worn out fastenings. (Last time I saw that particular tripod, the spreaders had perished and were being held together by duct tape on three sides, and the tape was four or five years old.)

Oh, the stories I could tell... no, wait, that's actually a good summary right there!
> leoetlino's genius solution to this is to actually check if a game is running before sending reset and power commands. Such a brilliant check was definitely not something we should have thought about a long time ago to protect from something like this.

From the article it looks like the arm chip will have tasks offloaded onto is, like a GPU has graphics tasks offloaded onto it from the CPU.
While the story was mostly in favor of Australia's current smoking policy, I believe it was much more fair to both sides of the story than a claim that just because the Nazis's didn't like smoking, that means that any other government that doesn't like smoking is a Fascist dictatorship.
