Unmade - https://www.unmade.com | London, UK | Full-time, ONSITE

Unmade is building a vertically-integrated customisation platform for the fashion industry. We’ve created the software to create unique manufacturing as a scaleable service. This allows customers to get involved in the design process, see a photo-realistic preview of their garment, and have it knitted on our industrial knitting machines.

We're now partnering with bigger brands to take these tools to a global scale and are working to integrate our technology in a range of big-brand websites and factories throughout the world.

All of our backend code is written in Python, from our Django-based websites, through to our knitting machine compilers.

We practice continuous deployment, using Docker on AWS.

We're looking for a Senior Python developer to help us out across our full product range. Prior knowledge of knitting is not required!

Background about the business:

Ah the days when you only had to care about Windows.
Yes, libraries like libjit help you to emit a low level program, but that was never the problem anyone had.

The problem is turning Ruby into a low level program in the first place.
Sadly, this attitude has been the problem for too long now, it might be our undoing.

The common individual waits for some authoritative direction, without taking any immediate action or responsibility of their own.

The individual somehow believes they won't have an impact, failing to realize they're part of the same system as everyone else and, it's the sum of all our behaviour that has got us to this crisis point.

If the old way isn't working, why not try something new?

Don't forget the power of influence. It's monkey see, money do with us humans!
It depends on the city and the route you're taking. If there are dedicated bus lanes, or other dedicated forms of transport (trains, metros), taking an uber can be slower than taking transport.

Certainly in London, unless you're taking a route that cuts across the city in one of the outer districts, during quiet times of day, these services are rarely materially faster than public transport. If the traffic info is inaccurate you can end up in a journey that's many times slower, without expecting it.

It's still great as an option; it expands the utility of taxis tremendously, since previously the arrival latency was unknown and potentially quite high. With a mature marketplace, the QoS for taxis as a whole goes up tremendously.

But really it's a simple competition with the QoS of the local public transport, and in my experience (in the UK) the Uber QoS is somewhat correlated with the QoS of the local public transport, so it is rarely (if ever) objectively better. It just offers different characteristics that are sometimes worth the cost.
Taxis in Germany are regulated as part of the public transport. The state may even force Taxi companies to put more cars on the road, they are obliged by law to take on any passenger and there is a public supervision. In return, Taxis receive some benefits. Uber tried to take the benefits but not the obligations. Stuff like that doesn't fly here. That's what got them banned.
^ The authors time and effort they observe it takes to create state-of-the-art CNNs, but their point-of-comparison CNNs look to be fairly simple -- I don't see an AlexNet or something for some of these tasks either just as a point of comparison even if not a fully relevant one

As the problem is really a compound of millions of people and not any one indivdiual, the answer is then really nothing - bar more unrealistic options such as becoming a dictator and banning fossil fuel, or become a genie and invent an engine running on water.

The more realistic approach is to change ones own behavior where possible - get an electric car, demand your electricity company switch to clean tech, switch to getting electric from non-fossil fueled power, fly less miles, use a bike, and so on - and try to convince others to do so too. If noone does anything, it's pretty certain nothing will change either.
As in, the mission-critical, high-bandwidth stuff is on distributed servers they manage themselves like the traditional companies do. Unsurprising to we skeptics of going all-in on clouds.
I would say those are hard and seemingly-neglible-impact things, and that's why the general populace don't do those sorts of things.

To your point that they are comparing small datasets. I dont see that as a problem. If they achieve better results on small datasets that is a great achievement, as often the bottleneck is the size of the dataset rather than computation time.

I've noticed that when you blame people for something (eating meat, for example), they're not going to listen, it's causing opposite reaction - to defend and continue doing the same thing.

So, maybe it's possible to persuade people to stop eating meat, but it requires much wisdom and patience... I don't really try. When my friends ask me, I answer politely, but it's very hard, because when I say: "I'm do not want to kill living beings for food because they're suffering" it's already sounds like I'm blaming them. :(
elementaryOS ever more so. Although, it is a bit of a clone of MacOSX which may be a turn off for some but still is quite user friendly.

I installed it for my family members ( not at all knowledgeable people in terms of computers etc ) and they all have gotten along with it very well.

Quantity !== Quality

As someone who can read/write in three western languages, I trawl the relevant part of the internet for answers instead of being stuck on the English-speaking only or having to relying on still unreliable automated translators.

By the way a good share of the corpus for things like physics have been written in other language than english before english was the international trade language. So I guess there is an incentive to learn language like german, french or latin.
Cool, then you are probably the a person who is able to answer this question:
What is a good way to mix C++ and Fortran build environments? Is there a way to mix the PrgEnv-{Cray/PGI} so that I can compile C++/CUDA code with GCC 5.x/6.x and the Fortran code in OpenACC mode with PGI/Cray?

Right now, we have quite a elaborate build environment where we first load the GCC build environment to compile the C++ code base. Then we load a Fortran build environment to compile the Fortran code base. I would rather have to use one environment to work in. In the most recent Cray and PGI environments (6.0.3) I have to also add the linker path to GCC version I used for C++. This is to avoid linker issues with the C++11 abi in the newer GCC compilers (somehow, the Cray/PGI environment always wants to link with old GCC libraries). Its not a big problem with our build scripts but annoying nevertheless.

Thing is, we decided that we will choose the next country according to my wife job (doctor) and lifestyle - nature etc. So based on this, New Zealand seems like the perfect place. I'm well aware that it's not the best career choice I can make to say the least, but I don't consider the points you've made like blocking issues. Things will be harder for sure, but far from impossible.

I may be wrong, but money shouldn't be that much of issue based on what I've heard / read - it seems like doctors are making plenty of money there (as opposed to France, where they are very underpaid, compared to cost of living). Does this sound plausible to live on one income only (family with two kids) ?

We are actually going there next week for 15 days, to see how life is. We're only doing the northern island since it's most probably were we would like to live (and we will have plenty of time to visit the southern one once there). 15 days is short, but I hope we will get a fair idea about the country.

Thank you all guys for the opinions !
Improving local infrastructure to improve walkability and prioritize cycling over cars helps, but in the near term we need to stop producing GHGs completely. So unless you have a found a cheap way to get fusion power to market in the next fifteen years or so, or have grid scale power storage up your sleeves, a large scale, expensive shift of our whole economy seems necessary. I don't see how you can do that without politics.
Ask HN: Which hand baggage do you use?
I am looking to buy a new hand baggage (carry-on with wheels), but I nothing seems right.

Since I will be travelling by plane and currently all the flight that I will take has a limit at 7kgs for carry-on. But most of the bags I saw start weighing from 2.5 to 4.5 kgs. That seems like a huge waste. My 13' MBP is 1.5kg, along with the chargers and my kindle, about 2kgs in all.

So, I am looking for bag that is as light as possible and has a nice laptop pouch. I don't want a backpack.
This looks interesting. Thanks, we are going to try it out.
Where do you live? Does seem surprising...
"Cars, although far less dense, are objectively better than the latter case. Safer, quieter, less polluting. "

Citation desperately needed. Also, keep in mind there are different ways of defining "safe". Cars are only "safe" inasmuch as they are safer for the occupants and incredibly dangerous for everyone else around. If we considered harm to people _outside_ the car we would view them as much more dangerous (and walking, motorcycling, cycling, etc as being much safer)

Are you by any chance a fan of minimalism?

Windows desktop by default comes with almost no features at all – be it about window management, file management, network connectivity (shares) or anything else. Personally I find using a plain Windows desktop an exercise in frustration for that.

> I’m not sure I believe that a mathematical formalism that is unable to make useful real world predictions deserves the “theory” moniker. Hence your list of quantum theories of gravity aren’t.

On the contrary, the ones I listed are all completely in accord with General Relativity up to strong gravity and absent superposed sources, which is found from studying the renormalization group flow of perturbative quantum gravity and is four loops of gravitons in a 3+1 dimensional spacetime. Strong gravity can only be found very close to the singularity of black holes (and well inside event horizons, except at the final evaporation), or in the very early universe. So we're good for neutron stars, and have no problems studying things around the event horizons of astrophysical black holes.

The only new mathematical formalism in perturbative quantum gravity is renormalization, and that goes back to the 1980s. Perturbative quantum gravity itself comes from the 1990s.

Sean Carroll has a good explanation of renormalization and effective field theory here:

http://www.preposterousuniverse.com/blog/2013/06/20/how-quan...

Asymptotically safe gravity posits an ultraviolet fixed point at which one can take a finite number of measurements, producing a strong gravity completion that perturbative renormalzation cannot; this is prompted by asymptotic safety in QCD. Below that limit, ASG completely matches perturbative quantum gravity, and so in the EFT limit it's the same as General Relativity.

There are five or six of other viable families of quantum theories of gravity, where viability means they accord exactly with perturbatively quantized General Relativity in its effective field limit, and thus agree completely with GR in the classical limit and weak gravity, and additionally are candidates as fundamental theories because they do not rely on perturbative renormalization by power counting and thus are expected to be useful to arbitrarily high energies.

Additionally it is not wildly irresponsible to think that mathematical research (perhaps not driven by physics!) will produce a tractable renormalization that does not require nature to select a convenient effect to suppress the explosion of parameters at high energies.

> I’d love to see an experimental setup that was capable of detecting the gravitational field of a single molecule: that would be impressive!

Everyone would. We're down below milligrams and yoctoNewtons:

http://newscenter.lbl.gov/2014/06/26/smallest-force-ever-mea...

I'm not as au fait about how the other side of the tunnel is approaching the ultimate meeting point, but it's not unreasonable to think of nanogram masses in superposition. Experiments were only at thousands of atomic mass units a few years ago, though: https://arxiv.org/abs/1310.8343

Unfortunately General Relativity can only have the whole gravitational influence of these molecules go through one or the other slits. However all of the quantum theories in my previous message have the distribution of the gravitational influence follow distribution of the matter, as one would expect.
Sure, any new piece of infrastructure we add has the possibility for reducing reliability. We only introduce things we think we can support, and that add value for the company. YMMV.

We also have less than 15 minute incident engagement times, and don't let important pages slide through dinner. It's totally standard ops stuff: if one of the servers is down, we'll replace it when we get around to it. If they're all down, pages are going off.

Insurance-wise, sure. The single-payer guaranteed basic medical care + private top-ups for faster access/non-medicare-covered procedures offers a lot of flexibility! But I think single-payer only is better (singe the single payer has a gigantic position to use when negotiating prices with pharma companies, medical associations, & hospital administrations). The French system is single-payer guaranteed (up to a percentage) + optional insurance to cover the remainder.

> An important element of the French insurance system is solidarity: the more ill a person becomes, the less they pay.

That's not how it works.

The ad department isn't supposed to influence how things are covered, but they very commonly know what's coming up precisely for this reason, to find advertisers who want to run adjacent ads.

So that part is normal. But sabatoging the subject of editorial with ad content is definitely not normal, and this ad rep's behavior would be totally out of line at any traditional media outlet for that reason.
>Sure, that's definitely how it was presented.

It's just an implication.

What benefits are you talking about? As a taxi your only (and important benefit) is the monopolization of your business by the local government. All the rest are plays around that.

Also, misses the point: the argument that infrastructure in europe is so much better that there is not a demand or a need for services like uber and lyft contradict the necessity of several cities to ban it. Otherwise they wouldnt have had to do anything and they would have failed.
How do we filter the noise before the stuff worth preserving is lost?

Storage is extremely cheap now, so filtering might not be needed at all. HDDs are around $30/TB, and 1TB in the context of game sizes is already quite a lot. Historical games tend to be smaller anyway, as the storage available at the time was much smaller too.
Back in the days recruiters of big corps would search for anomalies in resumes, because people with such anomalies were considered more creative or innovative.

Yes, CSS3 has a new module CSS Paged Media Module [0]. This should eventually replace XSL-FO for formatting for print. What I don't understand is who finds these useful anymore? except big enterprises like telecoms with dying legacy requirements. Those requirements will get totally replaced by web... Maybe there is still a niche for archiving with PDF/A

I'm not sure about your logo but the website is simply not that good. It takes quite a lot of time for me to load, its possible that its my network ( i live in Australia, we have horrible internet ) but the site should be as fast as possible regardless of where the person is located and many other more heavier websites are loading faster for me so this is an issue with your site.

The scroll bar is also broken, and the loading icon/indicator doesn't load for quite a bit of time so i never know whether the site is even loading, and if i should wait.

I would suggest taking a look at this issue just so its more available.

That was just catching up with what mainframes have been doing since the 60's. :)

That is why when you research old papers about compilers, Assembly opcodes and Bytecode are often intermixed.

It was common for the OS, language runtime to work with bytecodes, with the execution being done at microcode level. What nowadays would be better done as FPGA.

On IBM i (aka OS/400), there is a kernel JIT and all languages target bytecode, including C. Also JVM bytecodes get translated into IBM I ones. It was implemented in PL/M, nowadays with many modules ported to C++. And if you want to generate actual machine code, you need the Metal C compilers.

There are plenty of other examples.

Like with containers, it is just recycling mainframe success stories.
We evaluated using ConceptNet Numberbatch but in the end went with fasttext because of the treatment of OOV words using sub word information. This is important for us because we work with Social Media where misspellings are very frequent and we have found this helps a lot. Are you also looking into these sort of enhancements? How do you usually deal with OOV words?

A better reading experience. If you like to print articles to read offline, you can either rely on the publisher's own print stylesheet, or use an application like ours.

It uses the same formatting for all articles and adds columns. It's not a CSS framework like Gutenberg, the one posted here, which is intended for publishers to make their own content more printer friendly. PDF Newspaper tries to extract the relevant article content from any given page and then apply its own standard formatting on that and make it printable with our own printer stylesheet.
