I've been here for over a year and we've grown a ton since I joined, but we still have a tight-knit, incredibly smart group of engineers. We have many interesting problems as well in machine learning, service architecture, mobile, desktop and web user experiences and in many other areas.

We would love more engineers, up and down the stack, and anywhere on the generalist <-> specialist spectrum. We use pretty cutting-edge tech (React, React-Native for mobile, TypeScript + Node for backend), but we're a lot more interested in engineering chops than any particular tech skills.

If you're interested in hearing more, reach out and grab coffee with me or one of our other developers. Help us grow an amazing tech team from a very early point in our company's history!

At Mammoth Cave in Kentucky they turn off the lights on every tour. On one tour, my guide turned off the lights and seemed to lose track of time. He started talking about different things, meandering into other topics, without turning the lights back on. It lasted 9 minutes, according to my watch.

The first couple minutes were nothing special, and I was still fully aware of the group of people around me. After a few minutes I noticed a faint light. I don't know if it was a distant tour light around the corner, or if I was hallucinating. I spent a couple minutes looking and trying to figure it out. Around that point I became really uncomfortable, and my heart rate increased as it went on.

My natural reaction would be to close my eyes - if they're closed then surely I'll be immune from the effects of darkness. But this actually increased my anxiety. When it's pitch black there's no visible difference between having your eyes open or closed. It feels like your eyelids aren't working, like the muscle movements are not happening.

It caused a retreat into my own mind. Despite there being twenty people nearby, I felt like they weren't real. It didn't help that the group was quiet, with only occasional shuffles and murmurs coming from them. I started to think they could all walk off, leaving only me and the rambling tour guide. I had a strong urge to light up my watch or phone, but I didn't want to be "that guy". My eyes felt like they ceased to exist.

By the last couple minutes I stopped pondering and noticing things, and started waiting for the guide to turn the lights back on. I think the rest of the group was going through the same thing, judging by their silence. I was surprised at how quickly things returned to normal after they came back on. I had felt like I was near a breaking point of some sort, but within seconds I was fine.

I know very little Go, but I have seen the Kubernetes code and my impression was "I bet these people were Java programmers in a past-life". You could tell by the multiple layers of abstraction, a lot of which felt unnecessary.

Having said that, Kubernetes is a solid piece of engineering, so they are clearly doing something right and I don't want to denigrate their hard work.

> Unix sysadmin, but this kind of job is dying

I don't think this job is dying, but rather evolving. Of the Unix admins I learned under, only the ones who were also okay programmers and adapted have a great job right now. The writing is on the wall for those that can't/refuse to program. I had an interview with Facebook and they were bragging about laying off 100's of sysadmins with a machine learning model.

Also, this is anecdotal, but of my friends who are software engs only, I make more as a "Systems Engineer" or "DevOps Engineer" or whatever buzzword by knowing systems and a moderate level of programming, but it is the same skills from the 90's applied to the "cloud".
This is an unfair and incorrect assessment. It's all situational and contextual. Reddit was pretty much seen as a copycat failure that sold to a large corp because they couldn't figure themselves out. It was only after Digg messed up on their own they enjoyed their run.

Pinboard is great, but it never competed against Delicious. In fact it came out long timer after people stopped using Delicious.

Various countries have been sending unmanned probes to the moon since 1959. It's not eventful just because China managed to repeat what the Soviet Union and USA did decades ago. It's great that the Chinese accomplished it and they should be proud of their efforts, but so what.

Syria became mess not because there were peaceful protests, but because the extreme violence and oppression visited down by the government tore the country apart. You are holding the peaceful protesters responsible for the consequences of violent state repression. Perhaps you might want to rethink where the blame for that repression lies. Personally, I don't think it lies with the protesters.

Imagine an alternate timeline in which the Syrian government opened up dialogue with the protesters and negotiated a new constitutional convention. There is no reason they could not have chosen to do that. But here you are advocating the kind of extreme response that in Tiananmen 'only' lead to decades of despotic rule but which in Syria culminated in nerve gas attacks in civilian areas.

Lyft | Security engineers (application security; detection & response) | San Francisco, CA and Seattle, WA | Onsite https://www.lyft.com/jobs

Lyft is hiring for all positions, including mobile, frontend, backend, infrastructure, and product roles. We're working on interesting and challenging engineering and product problems to improve people's lives with great transportation.

I'm specifically looking for a couple of security engineering roles:

• An application security engineer (https://www.lyft.com/jobs/software-engineer-application-secu...) who’s excited about helping Lyft ship safe software quickly. You’ll help product and engineering teams at Lyft develop new features and products that are innovative and protect our users, build systems and tools to make it easy for engineers at Lyft to develop safe software by default, and promote security throughout the company.

• A detection & response engineer (https://www.lyft.com/jobs/software-engineer-security-detecti...) who’s excited about protecting Lyft and our users through swift detection of and response to security incidents. You’ll develop and automate techniques to hunt for and alert on attacker behavior with high signal-noise ratio, test our detection and response capabilities to improve our tools and processes, and act as a calm and rational incident commander when incidents do occur.

We try to approach security from a software engineering standpoint: we believe in scaling security through automation and tooling, and we ship frequently. You'll help to scale security at Lyft to support our continued growth and your work will have significant impact and visibility. If you want to learn more about the kinds of things we’ve built, check out our security-related blog posts at https://eng.lyft.com/tagged/security.

Google + was a reaction to Facebook's success and its ability to keep Google off its data. If Facebook had not existed, Google + would not exist either, at least not before another big, entrenched incumbent.

Google created Orkut, an initially successful social network years before the rise of Facebook. Orkut died from scaling issues, something Google is really skilled at dealing with, had they really wanted to.

I agree with your main point that something else could have been Facebook if not for Facebook.
Here's what I don't understand.

In the first detection, they mentioned that two black holes collapsed, emitted gravitational waves, and the resulting combined mass was less than then sum of two previous masses because energy was spent on gravitational wave generation. Hence it means, that due to gravitational interactions, objects leak mass. Now, we know that every object in the universe is gravitationally related to every other object, plus universe is expanding hence objects are constantly in flux with each other. The question is where all the leaked mass goes? Can this leakage account for dark matter? What about the space-time, does it function as a storage medium for this energy that now came from the leaked mass?

Please explain...

It appears it is "... of TNT". Wolfram Alpha converts "10^56 ergs to imperial megatons" to a value of: 1.095×10^23 long megatons (using E = mc^2). While it converts "10^56 ergs to megatons" to a value of "2.39×10^33 megatons of TNT" which is much more like that number.

NYT is being gamed to feed misinformation so this is ironic to read; like the BuzzFeed article on fake news. I'm no Trump supporter but I have screen caps of single digit election predictions; e.g. 90/10 Hillary.

The only difference on Twitter is that a lot of little voices parrot 1 message instead of one loud one. The bots are great. You need both sides of propaganda to comfortably land in the middle; or at least be informed.

This is why Python offers actual namespacing of properties and methods in the form of a double underscore (__). Double underscore prepends an underscore and the class name to the private property name which prevents these sorts of collisions.

I almost can't believe this isn't one of Maciej's snarky satirical posts, if only because there's no way he would do this with stock or debt and so it must be an all-cash transaction, and I didn't realize that he was either pulling in that much or Delicious was that desperate.

I signed up for an archival Pinboard account last weekend though, so maybe it was my $25 that put it over the top ;)
You didn't read what was behind it.
Actually, I think it's measuring the intensity of light between two points. It has two perpendicular lasers of some wavelength which then interfere with one another. If they interfere perfectly you measure a zero, if the interference is off by some amount you measure a deviation in intensity from the i^ or the j^ direction.

You can eliminate passing trucks, earth tremors, mining, asteroid impacts etc simply by applying a band-pass filter that excludes measurement frequencies outside of the range predicted by the equations.

No expert though, just guessing.
Like I said, probably nothing can be done that isn't ultimately likely to be worse. Short of people spontaneously becoming smarter, you'd effectively have to outlaw news outlets deemed to be "too slanted", and even if you could do that (you can't), I'm not so naive as to think a government in control of the press would be in any way better.

Basically, it's all fucked, I guess would be my considered opinion. Democracy just doesn't work when half or more of the population can be trivially manipulated into believing anything you want them to believe.

Well, in C memory is explicitly laid out, so it's not on the optimizer's menu, and in a dynamic language the runtime flexibility rules out most data-layout optimizations beyond occasionally coalescing a dictionary into a memory-offset-based buffer. There's some experimental game languages like JAI which include these semantics as a language primitive, but it's still declared rather than implied. Fundamentally, data layout is design because it depends on actual game content, and not just code; it's categorically different than code optimization.

Minor correction: Insulin has an activity time of about 5-10 minutes once it reaches your bloodstream. The challenge is getting it there; the measured activity time of insulin comes from the time it takes to diffuse through subcutaneous tissue.

(This is one of the reasons why healthy individuals, whose pancreata release insulin directly into the bloodstream, have tighter blood glucose control.)
