For more information, email dmangot[at]librato[dot]com with the subject line [Hacker News Papertrail Ops]

If your idea of fun is ingesting terabytes and terabytes of data 24 hours a day, then we've got the job for you. Papertrail is looking for a lead SRE to help build, improve, and manage our high performance stream processing pipeline. This is truly one of those jobs where you and your developers/ops friends can use the tool you operate every single day.

The Papertrail stack is largely Ruby, Java, Scala, and MySQL. Lots and lots of MySQL. This is your opportunity to come in and lead a small SRE team at a company that is growing every month. Plus, with the backing of Solarwinds behind it, there are no worries about running out of VC funding, or where the next round is coming from. We're a small distributed team where everyone writes code, operating an existing successful business and we're looking for the next piece of the puzzle to collaborate in taking our SRE practices to the next level.

If this sounds interesting to you, we'd love to open up a conversation about whether we're a good match, setup some interviews and a coding test. You can find the contact info above.

About the company:
Papertrail manages billions of log messages for operations-savvy companies. Papertrail provides time-saving log tools, flexible system groups, team-wide access, long-term archives, charts and analytics exports, monitoring webhooks, and 45-second setup. It's all your logs in one place, and it "just works". Papertrail is a wholly owned subsidiary of Solarwinds, Inc.
I, on the other hand, loathe editing YAML configuration files because the nesting is so obtuse and difficult to figure out based on limited examples in open source projects. JSON is much easier.
Salaries will appear as a filter soon, hopefully before next edition. I get this request a lot.

For now you can keep salary in the first line in {attrs} section for, or somewhere below the first line.

What kind of the format you would like to see for salaries?
"Investors just lose money but employees lose years "

Comparative value.

Most employees are fairly well paid, and don't 'lose years' unless they are working for free, or 'very cheap' which usually isn't the case.
:( My bad.
Much as I like to think about the potential usefulness of fitness trackers (I work for Fitbit, but speak only for myself), a much more useful approach is to pay attention to your body. If something's not normal a lot of insurance plans have nurse lines you can call to tell about your symptoms and find out if you should be seen.

The story includes a lot of things that sound like heart attack symptoms. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heart-attack/i...
They said they couldn't afford the $150k.
No lightbulb, but cmd+. did it -- Thanks! Any way to format the import too (we use single quotes and no semicolon, enforced by TSLint)?

Awesome job on JS/TS integration by the way. I've used Frontpage, Dreamweaver, Notepad++, Sublime, Atom, Vi, Webstorm, and Intellij in the past, and editing TS in VSCode beats all those other editors by a mile. Keep it up!!
Modsy | ONSITE, REMOTE | San Francisco, Portland, Salt Lake City | 3D Web + Full Stack Engineer

https://angel.co/modsy/jobs/184657-full-stack-software-engin...

Modsy is a fast growing, SF-based startup that allows you to see inspirational designs and decor within the context of your own home. Using a combination of 3D art and computer vision, we allow you to "try on" furniture in your own home before you buy it. Our product is brought to life by a diverse and talented team of engineers, artists, designers and creators.

We're first movers in a fast-growing space that will become the future of home design. Check out modsy.com/portfolio and see if you can tell which of our images on our site are real vs. renderings (hint: they are all renderings).

We do a phone/in-person interview with the Head of Engineering (me), followed by a coding exercise, and then one day in office to meet the team.

Drop us a line at jobs@modsy.com if you're interested to learn more!
Hey at least mine is an obvious throwaway. And I don't think 17 comments in two months is that bad compared to ten in 5 years
That got me banned a couple of weeks ago. I wrote an application that recommended an event to the user once he\she would tweet "I am bored". I made the mistake by giving providing a fall back once the location could not be determined. This lead to ~40 tweets with identical texts. Twitter quickly pulled out the banhammer.

Not to spam, but here is a write-up if there is an interest in what and how it happened: https://hackernoon.com/how-i-got-myself-banned-on-twitter-43...
Thanks, that's really interesting. The usage of 'pipeline' to describe both sorts of system made me think there was a lot of overlap, but I'm understanding now how they are complementary.
Many languages have the sigular vs plural "you" distinction that is heavily used to indicate degrees of social standing and/or respect, that are utterly lacking in English. When you come to English from those languages, it sounds very blunt and disrespectful initially.

Russian also uses names for this purpose, since we have first + last + patronymic, various combinations of those when addressing someone denote various degrees of familiarity and deference. E.g. first + patronymic is respect for authority or seniority (but sometimes used jokingly); last name alone is very impersonal; first name + plural you is respectful while asserting equal authority; and first name + singular you indicates a more personal relationship (friend or at least close acquaintance). Some combos, like last name + singular you, are outright insulting in and of themselves - curiously, historically that was the combo used by aristocracy to address inferiors. And as conversation develops, it's not uncommon for people to start with the most formal form of address, and gradually dial it down by mutual consent, often implicit.

And, because of all this, addressing someone by name repeatedly over the course of the conversation is more common in Russian than it is in English - because of all that extra meaning attached to it.
"What We Do

Bridgewater Associates is focused on understanding how the world works. By having the deepest possible understanding of the global economy and financial markets, and translating that understanding into great portfolios and strategic partnerships with institutional clients, we've built a distinct track record of success. We've done this for more than 40 years by having great people operate in a culture of radical truth and radical transparency. Today, we manage about $160 billion for approximately 350 of the largest and most sophisticated global institutional clients including public and corporate pension funds, university endowments, charitable foundations, supranational agencies, sovereign wealth funds, and central banks."

I know a cult when I see one. When there's a whole lotta money on the line and you drop a paragraph that contains the phrases "radical truth" and "radical transparency" but that paragraph doesn't start with "Bridgewater Associates is a hedgefund that...", you are a fucking cult.

Nice. For a long time when I ran windows I also ran Xwin-32 from Starnet[1]. That let me putty -X[2] into a linux box and run things with GUIs on the PC where I was sitting. I found I still had xwin-32 installed so I opened up WSL, set my display to :0 and started up xeyes, and blam! there the were. Very nice.

[2] Not literal, putty has a setting to allow X just like ssh does.
Of course they can. Major TV ad networks are highly selective [1]. Why would it be any different for Snapchat?

For years, I've used a web hosting company instead of attachments. A simple alias uploads a file to the web host, and I can just paste in a URL.

Dreamhost gives so much space that I just leave stuff up there and almost never remove it, so the link stays good; and since it's my own domain name, it will remain good even if I change hosts.

I guess Drop Box and Google Drive are the modern equivalents, but my URLs are nice and simple and I have complete control. Really, I'm surprised more people don't do it this way.
Hey Justin, thanks for signing up. Yeah we are perfect for people like you running forums. Any issues message me directly simon snapshooter.io

> it's not a conspiracy

But is it a conflict of interest?

Nestle formula wasn't let's kill babies in Africa. It was let's do PR damage control first, and if the PR cost gets too high, we'll eventually change our marketing strategy.

Unilever wasn't let's increase racism in India. It was skin lightening products are the largest personal care market segment, so let's advertise and develop the market.

Microsoft wasn't let's reduce the world's access to knowledge in books. It was what's bad for Google is good for us, so let's quietly fund stumbling blocks.

Why should I inconvenience my customers by fixing my implementations of your standards? Why should I delay giving features to my customers because of your standardization slowness? What part of your customers switching to be my customers should I prioritize as a problem?

Situations have associated incentives. Ethics can shape response. But incentives do matter. No conspiracy needed.
And every time it happens 10 people jump to comment about how the site is written poorly and could probably be an entirely static site.

It's difficult to imagine an article like this about the US. "MIT researchers study solar storms using cheap recycled materials." It doesn't sound right.
Well maybe not zero, but certainly not anywhere near $24B. There is no clear way of injecting ads into Snapchat, and in many markeds users could just revert back to SMS at no cost, so charging for the service will only work in some markeds. Assuming that engaged users equal profit is more or less the reasoning that brought us the .com bubble.

I won't suggest that that one could'nt turn a profit on Snapchat, but one false step and those 300 million users will leave faster than they came. They've already been taught that Snapchat is a free service, that will be hard to change. And VCs are ready to fund the next Snapchat the minute that the IPO hits, so the users won't have to wait long for their new free alternative.

Snapchat is a fun opportunity, if the price where $10-20 million.
Have you even used Snapchat? News networks and blogs are always keeping up featured spots on the stories tab of the app. It's become an advertising tool.
But unfortunately leaves physically weaker individuals in need of things like "knife safety", "rock safety", "stick safety", and "fist safety".
Human attention is a finite and hard to capture resource. Snapchat has a lot of it (its users spend a lot of time looking at the app). Advertisers are willing to pay a lot of money for people's attention.

A lot of people think there will be a big shift in brand advertising away from TV and towards the internet (brand advertising is aimed at general awareness about a brand and forming positive or desirable associations with that brand in people's minds). Snapchat is very well poised to capture a lot of brand advertising money if this shift happens in the next several years. Not only do they have a large, highly-engaged user base, but also brand advertisers are often especially eager to reach younger consumers who are just beginning to form impressions of brands.

Of course, there are a lot of "if"s in all of that. But they do have a clear path to bringing in massive revenue if everything goes well.
Every insurance plan in the US will cover an annual checkup with $0 out of pocket expense to you.
Were I in charge of NRA advertising, I would consider my ad running along a gun-violence-awareness campaign to be a misfire, akin to running a smoking ad alongside a story about smoking-induced lung cancer or a Coke ad alongside a story about Crystal Pepsi coming back.

I have to concur: English definitely is the most streamlined language that I know of in terms of "social overhead".
>The question then becomes is the necessity of having a twitter account "part of being an adult"?

I would think it became a replacement for an RSS feed (with pictures and drama)
Do you have the data to back that up?
It has prevented zero-rating of video and social media services in practice.
It's the easy accessibility of macros, without any cultural aversion to their overuse.

Any truly-large Lisp codebase ends up as an entire Lisp-derivative language. (If not in truth, then in practice: once you've created and employed enough macros in a given project, you've forced anyone who wants to contribute to said project to "learn" the project as if it were its own language anyway.) This effectively isolates the project by the same degree as having been written in an entirely-novel language.
Every single student in the high school I teach at uses Snapchat. All day. Every day.

1) You're confusing temperature prediction (which is indeed not bad, and is what most people want) with wind prediction.

2) Yes, the models are 3D, but the data is 2D and is sparse. I'm fully aware of the airport wind data, and it's not even close to being enough, because the number of airports itself is very limited, especially outside of the US.
It's a flip chip design, so the heatspreader and thermal paste does not touch the part that you are seeing in these images. The areas that I think you are referring to (the big "blob" areas) are computer place and routed standard cells (primarily transistors) that the PNR tool brute forces efficient placement under certain constraints. While it does not produce the most pretty or clean design, it does a good enough job in optimizing for speed and area for most designs.
The possibility that a Github TOS change could force a change to the license of your software hosted there, and that it's complicated enough that I'd have to hire a lawyer to know for sure, makes Github not worth bothering to use.

Vaue proposition was never very high for me, and went negative.

I can only speak for myself. Amount of value others place on the copyrights to the software they've spent blood sweat and tears building is up to them.
It looks like something related LocalStorage in browsers. I'm logging those events with Sentry. For now it looks like I have 3 events like this from FF.

I will see what I can do about it.
I wonder how you arrive at your conclusions. It's rather hilarious, to be honest. I've found that good machine readable specifications of rest interfaces are as rare as well designed SOAP interfaces.

I've used a variety of tools to generate and test REST interfaces in the last ten years. To a mixed success, I must say.

thoughtbot designers and developers rapidly build high-quality web applications. Well-qualified designers and developers have excellent knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript. Designers should also be able to create great visual designs and run usability tests and product design sprints.

Developers should have excellent knowledge of Ruby on Rails, , SQL, Unix, and Test-Driven Development. We also have active projects in Go, Elixir Phoenix, React, and React Native. Experience or interest in these technologies is a plus.

Very well-qualified candidates will also have experience with consulting. We work a sustainable pace of 40 hours/week, consulting for clients four days/week. On Fridays, we have investment time when we learn new tools and techniques, work on open source, write blog posts, and make ourselves, each other, and the community better.

This is actually a great idea. I like datadoge on the pic. What sort of bot is that? Does anybody know?
4YFN – startups in Barcelona
Don't waste your time. Live in LA, been doing the type of work they advertise for about twenty years, and have not even made it to a phone screen---tried several times. Resumes get shitcanned efficiently though. Perhaps they are selecting for advanced degrees?
We support live preview for markdown and are investigating support for html as well ( https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/12080 ). Extensions can also provide their own live preview implementations

If you have suggestions or ideas for a live preview, please file a feature request: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/new
Why does this matter for a single hardware product in an ecosystem? ChromeOS is still clearly being invested in. As a Pixel laptop owner I couldn't care less if they refresh the Pixel anytime soon.
In what use case does Github violate free software licenses such that it requires additional rights?
I think that's a good assessment, but Gamecube wasn't a slowpoke. More powerful than PS2 which won the generation. Games looked really good on that system compared to PS2. It really suffered from arriving late, after PS2 had huge momentum. It also had the smaller 1.5GB optical disc that might have held it back.
Some of the niches that the 3DS owned up until now might be disrupted by the Switch though. I'm one of these old school (as in, thoughtful turn based combat, whether tactical ala FE or FFT, or more about party building and dungeon exploration like SMT and Etrian) RPG gamers who bought the 3ds solely games like the Fire Emblem, Etrian Odyssey, Shin Megami Tensei, Devil Survivor series, and of these, Atlus has already announced that the next major sequel to SMT will be on Switch instead of 3ds. The DS and 3ds up until now had all the major games of the series (Strange Journey, IV, IVA). It's nice to see the series go back to a more powerful console, we have missed seeing those demons animated in 3d the way they were in Nocturne on Playstation 2. Can't say I will miss the 3ds if the other game series follow suit.

Fire Emblem also traditionally had home console releases alongside portable gamesystems, but the Wii U flopped too hard for niche games to have much room. Concentrating developer efforts on a single console that does both portable and home, large screen play is a smart move for Nintendo.
> Does anyone know? Is the claim that this is definitely bacteria, and not Archaea?

Shouldn't really be either; this should be quite a bit older than Last Universal Common Ancestor and hence older than the Bacteria/Archaea split. But I don't actually understand what precisely was found so can't say.
Science is only expensive because it's tied to the perverse incentives of capitalism.
I hope Tom Selleck is being notified.
