ONSITE Full-time, relocation to Amsterdam, (H1B or its dutch equivalent anyway) is taken care of by the company.
General Interview Process -> Hackerrank test, call with the recruiter, phone interview, onsite interviews

I work at Booking.com, which is a world leader in travel accommodations, as a backend developer. I have only positive things to say about working here. The people are intelligent and helpful, interesting problems to solve and the work hours are unbelievably sane. The company is strongly data driven and very dynamic, which was one of its biggest charms for me. Amsterdam is not a bad place to be either :) The Dutch government also gives a tax break through the 30% ruling to non-dutch people.

The work environment is very international and everybody speaks fluent English. The relocation process is also very finely tuned through years of experience of doing this.

If you have any other questions about the company or the hiring process or you would like me to refer you, please feel free to send me an email at siddharthsarda01 at gmail.com (Email also in my profile at Hacker news). To have an idea of the kind of problems being solved here, you can also look at our dev blog:http://blog.booking.com/

I haven't been able to obtain a job since graduating in May 2015 with a BS degree in CS. I can do lots of things. I'm even an official contributor for a large, industry project. The market is really brutal. It's geared toward the elite, the few who were privileged enough to be there at the right time.
Do you think that would make a big enough difference? I think he'd still have access.
I'd really love to have him study Aphantasia (non-functioning mind's eye) and understand what people with the condition do to compensate.
Moden life is predictable because we've taken a massive energy debt out against the future with serious consequences for the biosphere to pay for it, big entropy is about to happen re climate change and soon you might find yourself in mad max.

I don't disagree with you though, we've made things temporarily boring for ourselves by indulging in far too much convenience and luxury.
> Because the cost for supporting random hardware will probably run to more than they make from running such a program.

What support? NeXT once had a fax that they sent you with the listed hardware that it worked on. Its even easier now that Intel has shut out all third-party motherboard chipsets. Your paying for legality, not support.
May be it's just me, but I don't really care about design at all. I'm perfectly fine with huge tower or some reasonable fan noise. What I care is price, durability, extendability, repairability, and, of course, performance. I'm not really into macOS, I can use Linux or Windows just fine, but macOS is not that bad.

I'm actually opposed to thin things or design aberrations like trash can mac. I'm paying for that after all, with money or engineering trade-offs.

The best of both worlds would be officially supported hackintosh (that is, curated list of hardware parts, which are guaranteed to work for some reasonable period (15 years or something like that). But I don't think that would happen, Apple is greedy corporation and wants piece of pie from everything.
As a stout Bernie Sanders supporter, who wrote him in rather than stoop to voting for CLinton who cheated to win (IMHO) -- if Mark ran-- and got the nomination I would again write in Sanders ( for me, I'm tired of the elite class ruling), and while I admire Mark from a business level, and what he's accomplished at such a young age, and think he'd not be horrible as president -- I'm of the belief that neoliberalism is out, and egalitarianism is in. Had he come out in major support of Sanders, or switches and adopts his platform and is sincere, I might change my mind -- but there's a shift from neoliberalism and Nationalism/Egalitarianism are the two ways it could go.

We can go back to FDR and the new deal, or we can go like Mussolini and fascism. So far we're headed to fascism, but I think Trump is just proof that we're tired of the old, and desperate for something new, when he fails it'll be time for the progressive wing of the democrats to come in and clean things up..
Have you used this and can comment on what the driver support experience is like? I was eyeing the new HP Zbook Studio G4 laptop since it checks most of the boxes where the current 15" MBP is lacking (matte display, 32 gigs RAM, upgradeable components) but after doing a quick "Zbook driver issues" search I'm not so sure anymore.
> I really don't want Billionaires and wives of presidents leading the country.

How about their daughters and inlaws?
I wonder if a lot of these guys just had the luck that their instincts aligned with reality during a certain timespan but when things change suddenly nothing works anymore.
Well to me it is important to remember who the people are that want it - These are professionals and developers that create applications for the OS (mobile and desktop) as well as creatives who have kept Apple afloat in rough times. I would think there is strategic value in keeping these people somewhat happy.
Sounds like you could use a walk :)
Those weird hacks exist because of the spambot problem they're trying to prevent. It's enough of a hassle for us that iMessage spambots are practically nonexistent as a result.
IBM and Red Hat to Vote “No” on Java Modules (Jigsaw)
Interesting, so do have your elbows parallel to the desk surface or let them hang down below it?
How exactly was the free internet program disingenuous?
Like gamblers lining up in front of the slotmachine that people remember made someone a millionaire many years ago.
Your standard of proof is very high. Who records all of their phone calls (presumably without consent which is illegal in my jurisdiction) and makes an archive of their yelp page periodically?

This is not the only company to face such allegations and afaik it's not the first time yelp has been accused either. I think you'll have to base this one on anecdotal stories.
Pivotal | Engineers, Designers, Product Managers, Pre/Post-Sales Engineers, Ops, Sales, Admin | Locations worldwide | ONSITE

Pivotal's goal is to transform the way the world builds software. We mean it.

We value aptitude over alma mater, empathy over a list of APIs. It doesn't matter whether your resumé says PHP or PhD: if you're smart, empathetic and know some stuff, we want to work with you.

We have many offices worldwide including SF, NYC, Toronto, London, Palo Alto (pivotal.io/locations) and more coming. We're broken into three main divisions: Pivotal Labs (that Pivotal Labs), Cloud R&D and Big Data.

-- Pivotal Labs helps clients to become better at product development. For engineering we are religiously lean and agile. We pair program and TDD every line of code from the outside. Our product managers are fantastic at keeping products sharply focused, our designers are masters from users to pixels.

-- Cloud R&D is where we build the best cloud platform available: We're the majority contributors to the Cloud Foundry project. Our distribution has the fastest-growing sales of any opensource product ever and it's still zooming up and to the right.

Except for upstream code, every line is pair programmed and TDD'd. We dogfood the cutting edge of the technology on our own commercial cloud (Pivotal Web Services).

Cloud R&D is also responsible for Pivotal Tracker and Spring.

-- Big Data is our suite of battled-hardened products, now open sourced. Greenplum tackles massive datasets with the comfort of PostgreSQL. Apache HAWQ (incubating) brings Greenplum's distributed query planner to Hadoop. Gemfire, donated as Apache Geode, is an in-memory distributed grid with years of high performance in high-stakes systems.

-- Generally

At our offices we have free breakfast, weekly tech talks, excellent benefits and competitive pay. Ping pong isn't mandatory, but it's popular. I think west-coast ping pong is harder to beat, but east-coast style is more entertaining to watch. The NYC beer fridge has more IPAs than I prefer but I guess that's life in paradise.

You can also email me at jchester+hn-may17@pivotal.io if you have questions. I won't reply to copypasta. I may not be able to reply immediately, as I am just an engineer here. These help me earn a referral bonuses, which I appreciate. I can give the non-referral link upon request.
that's actually an optimization it seems, at the processor level there is a low power keyword listener for "Ok, Google" but it just fires the app it doesn't get anything more since you didn't grant it mic access.

A much crazier permission is phone access on Android. I recently noticed Facebook's Messenger had been uploading my call logs without ever mentioning it to me. Only realized when it recommended I call a contact back despite me not using messenger to call them - it saw the call in the phone's history and matched it against its database.
I think the new value-add is based on a combination of:
1) the internet and
2) being further down Moore's Law

The increase in both computational power and connectivity has had impact all over the place, but has also transformed science. Even the most analog disciplines now have computational modeling branches, are building datasets, and need best practices for presenting and publishing computational artifacts. From Digital Humanities, to Computational Biophysics.

Printed pages struggle to convey the depth of these results, as do (originally) flat data formats like PDF, which are oriented towards pixels, rather than datatypes.

But I have to disagree strongly about sniping LaTeX as (completely) outdated, because of the need to supplement the printed page with a "content browser". Yes, we most certainly need a computational toolkit for presenting scientific results and aiding peer-review. But no, typesetting is not going away. The human taste for aesthetically pleasing documents is here to stay, and beautifully laid out narratives are instrumental for getting your message across to your audience. Delighting the eye allows the reader to focus on content, rather than struggle with an ugly form.

So my take on my work at Authorea (yep, beware inside bias!) is to transfer our typesetting best practices to the web as the baseline, but then focus and innovate on the "depth" of web-first science articles. To improve academic writing, we need to expose and interact with data, do the well-known social collaboration gig, and embed guarantees for transparency and reproducibility. Machine-assisted quality control and authoring are the two large impact sweet-spots to hit in the coming decade on this front. Time will show if we're in the know or not, but LaTeX is certainly a point of departure that has to be supported, and learning it is a healthy thing to do in 2017. We have a lot of important work ahead of us!
It makes a certain sense when you think about it; people inclined to be contrarians are sometimes very right while everyone else is very wrong, but usually the opposite is the case.
Honestly I don't know
I noticed the coffee shop near my university replaced their tables with tiny little things that cannot properly hold up a laptop. I'm quite sure that was the intent.
I'm also interested but a bit worried of the hardware support of different operating systems.
Do you have any model to suggest that won't complain if I wipe its OS to install Debian? Last time I checked compatibility varied from model to model: no wireless here, slow graphics there or no audio etc.
I already have a netbook that gives me huge battery life and a i5 laptop which is fast enough for everything, but whose battery life stinks badly. A chromebook would be the right in between, but what about debianizing it?
> I work on a project for some months, delete it after completion and start over with a new project.

Damn, that is hard to hear. Is it because you don't think the project is good enough? Will you get to a point where you don't delete your projects?

I am a little like you otherwise, especially in being low maintenance and owning almost nothing except for a computer. I don't hang out with much of anyone besides my wife anymore, but I do go out nearly every day to exercise under the sun. And I prioritize working as little as possible, just a freelance project every few months to keep enough money for food and leave as much time as possible for my own projects (but I don't delete them!).
I did it for eight months and I would never do it again barring destitution. That wasn't really the problem.
Wrong thread, this is the one for potential employees.
Your reddit comments may have solutions to problems others have now. Don't delete them.

Here's the thing: No one cares what you posted nine years ago. Unless it was overly offensive and you became famous enough to get people to snoop, no one's going to look at your stuff. Yeah it's embarrassing, but you will get over it.
I have a business on Yelp, not a restaurant, I've never paid them. My listing is mostly correct, I've tried to update but the settings never save. Yelp sales call about every three months to sell me on improving my profile. I say I'm not interested and the conversation is done. Have not experienced aggressive sales tactics.

It'd be fun to make a free version using the same concept by rolling your own proof of work system. You could do something like requiring a unique proof of work to be submitted for each pixel change. To change a pixel you need to generate a random number which hashes to a lower value (when interpreted as a bignum) than the existing holder of the pixel.

The UI for something like that would be great - your client could just constantly generate random hashes and buffer a list of the best values its has come up with. Then the screen could highlight all pixels you can edit. As you wait longer (and generate better and better hashes), you can edit more 'valuable' pixels.

(Of course, that would only work if each hash could only be used once. You could embed the pixel value into the hash's input, but then you'd need to decide which pixels you want to edit before you start generating hashes. And that would be way less fun.)
> However, when I see skepticism towards man-caused climate change lumped in with believing in lizard people ...

As it should be. It should be viewed as even worse. The lizard conspiracy people aren't destroying our planet.
> Maybe it's just me

It is. I don't care a lot about design either (although I care a lot about user experience), but many people /do/ care for design, and are willing to pay a premium to get that design.
Why should they? Getting it for free is a pretty sweet deal.
> Where did you get %20 percent number?

I get the 20% number from a real world case, guys who converted a huge existing vhdl design into HLS with the help of several Xilinx FAEs, the application was ideal for HLS.

> On the other hand, if you write code in a way that naturally maps to the hardware you are using then the results can be every bit as good RTL

You only believe this if you're deep in the Xilinx marketing bubble. HSL covers maybe ~20% of the usecases of FPGAs. Even the guys who teach HLS will not tell you it's a general solution.

> I think that this has more to do with the quality of the current compilers, not some inherent limitation with the concept.

This concept has been researched for more than 25 years, C to FPGA has failed except for the aforementioned case. Btw, I'm not saying that a general high-level synthesis solution isn't possible, I'm saying that it should never be based on C or C++.
I remember reading long ago that they don't generate negative reviews, but they change their sort magic to let the negative ones bubble up to the top.
I'm a placard holder and I think this article is full of horrible ideas. The fee, the weird limitations on metered parking use for people with particular disabilities or impairments, but most of all the way the article uncritically invites people to scrutinize placard holders and try to tell by looking at them if they are "really disabled" or not. With the existing laws, placards must be renewed every 2 years. If the DMV is issuing renewals to dead people as the article claims, that seems fixable without screwing the rest of us over.
Especially when most of the calls are cold calls, and you haven't had the opportunity to record them.
Herbert Hoover was a mining engineer for a while. This is a rather unfortunate example.

I can't remember any names, but I know other countries have a had a better go of it. Specifically I'm thinking of an Eastern Asian country but I really can't remember who and what country.
As a Swede, I can echo this. I'm so used to the US layout by now that I have to do a double take whenever I switch to the SE layout, or type on someone else's keyboard.

I used to get laptops and keyboards with the US layout on them, but stopped since the resale value in Sweden drops sharply because of it. Thankfully, I've touch typed since forever so I rarely look at the keyboard anyway. (Unless, of course, I have to type with the Swedish layout.)
A business I used recently for some tree maintenance in my town had a 1-star Yelp review which was perplexing. In this case, the business and owner are well-known in the area as one of the best at what they do and top subject matter experts.

While digging a little, I found that Yelp was highlighting only the four 1-star reviews and factoring only those into the score. Each of these reviews is responded to by the owner with an explanation, all of which look fairly reasonable to me.

Below this, hidden away under a link and not factored into the score were 15 other reviews that Yelp tagged as 'not currently recommended'. These reviews span a period of 4-5 years+ and are mostly positive 4-5 star reviews. I am no expert but they do not look faked at all to me. Why would this be the case? This business also had 42 5-star reviews on Google. Seems a little odd to me and this really swayed my opinion for good on Yelp.
Is this code equivalent to the current code?

IUUC the current code accumulate the payment to each pixel and whatever color has more accumulated money is chosen.

IIUC your code only consider the last payment and to replace the old color you have to outbid it, without any consideration of the previous payments.

Another strategies:

Penny auction: Whatever color received the last payment is the chosen one. This is more similar to /r/place

Generals.io: If someone adds money to the current color, then increase the accumulated money in that color. If someone adds money to another color the amount is discounted. Unless the result is negative and the color changes.
If it was just Vancouver and Toronto that would be one thing, but housing across Canada (except perhaps the maritimes) has seen huge gains in the last decade, far beyond income growth.

These price increases have been excluded from inflation (price inflation) numbers, as has the massive growth in consumer credit (monetary inflation). I don't have an article for you, but Canada has surpassed the US at the peak of their housing bubble in most any metric you look at, some of them substantially. Unsurprisingly, convincing anyone to acknowledge this reality is near impossible, the numbers can stare people in the face and they simple refuse to believe them.
Okay... this turns out to have been a false accusation. I'm very sorry. The company that does this is ResearchGate, not Academia.

Academia's e-mails have appropriate From: lines, and don't appear to be sent from beyond the grave, and you deserve credit for that.
What a racket. However, it looks like it's their site and their rules - hence you live by the sword or you die by it.

Top 4 OpenStack Monitoring Problems and Best Practices
Yeah, that's the other side of the coin: Decreasing prosperity leads to decreasing liberalism, and in many US and EU regions prosperity is decreasing with predictable political consequences.

The authoritarians of the day don't have a lot of supporters in NY, SF, London or Paris. It's the US flyover states and French mining towns that are turning away from liberalism.
