Indio | San Francisco | ONSITE | Full-time | Lead Frontend Engineer

Indio (http://www.useindio.com) is getting way too many customers and we need some team members to help us handle the bountiful harvest!

We're really looking for a talented lead front-end engineer!

What we're looking for:

- You’re ready to help lead front-end development for our broker product

- You’ve played with all the major JS frameworks and can debate React vs Angular for hours

- You enjoy learning about how customers use what you build just as much as figuring out how to architect it

- You’re interested in joining a seed stage company that’s experiencing rapid growth and needs help keeping it all under control

- You live in the Bay area or want to move here soon

We’re an insure tech startup… but we’re trying a different twist than the standard “repackage an insurance product for millennials with sweet marketing”.

You see.. we really like the veterans. The insurance brokers who have been in this industry for years and are now seeing insure tech flip their world upside down. These brokers know more about insurance than any of us could ever hope…but they need our help!

They’re behind the times and desperately looking for solutions that allow them to compete again!.We’re building the software that can turn any existing insurance broker into a tech savvy company. We’ve helped insurance agencies of all sizes earn their stripes in the insure tech world by giving them powerful platforms they can use to give their clients a better experience.

And just like our customers, we’re veterans too! Our team has prior acquisitions under our belt and we’re hungry for more. We’re YC and 500 Startups alumnus, and have a tech first culture.

We love delighting our customers and know you will too. Come on board and let’s superpower the insurance world!

Yes, may have been Dynamics AX CRM or some cross-work between CRM and AX CRM. Another place where Microsoft Sales & Marketing muddies the waters and confuses similar but different products, hah.

(My adjacency at the time was as an intern in Dynamics building way back in Ought Six, having lunch and listening to complaints from fellow interns. I wasn't working on Dynamics at the time, I was interning on the very cool Small Business Accounting [RIP] program that shared entirely no DNA with AX or Dynamics other than building space, because there wasn't a good way to make an AX Lite. Given the distance in time and space, forgive a forgetful mind. :)

CFQ is best for mechanical hard drives not sure if it is updated for SSDs, deadline and noop seem better for SSD
I guess "replacing" is not the right word. With the right type of technology you can enable one doctor to do the work of six. It's becoming especially true as AI is advancing so rapidly. Based on the number of job openings here I think that will probably be a good thing for everyone.

Theia does not only provide remote file access you also have LSP (language server protocol) for code-completion / docs ala eldoc , company) etc..

Almost all of Theia's features are based in the backend.

The emacs equivalent would be like having emacs in daemon mode and a tcp based emacsclient locally. (I wish that existed)

Also the idea is to have something a bit more modern and appealing to the mass of javascript/web devs out there.

Theia is still far from replacing emacs, but as an emacs user myself and a Theia dev I hope I can bring what I love about emacs to Theia :)
Or "Windows Will Protect Vulnerable Client Software With More Client Software".

Wouldn't it be much easier and more effective to offer a one-click low cost encrypted cloud backup-service? They could bundle this with Update or Defender to offer point in time recovery.
Sorry for the late reply, but forums do allow you to upload your own images. Every modern script (both paid and free) has an attachment feature or a gallery add on you can use with it.

However, this isn't the best for the actual users, because:

1. Most forums disable hotlinking for obvious reasons. So if they upload an image to a forum, they'll then have to do the same thing for every other forum they post it on.

2. Forums often require users to register to see attachments, so the images are either invisible or reduced to tiny thumbnails for guests.

Stuff like Imgur and Photobucket got popular because people could post an image once and use the same URL lots of times knowing anyone could see it.

But yeah, forums do host images themselves and have for about a decade or so. Very few have problems with disc space, bandwidth or illegal content either, I know since I've run them for years without issue.
> nearly two thirds

That's quite a bit less than 3/4. I would be surprised if even half that many people knew about the kind of affect these kind of drugs can have on things like PTSD, OCD, or depression. Sometimes "tossing skeletons" is exactly what a brain needs to get back on a healthy track.
Ah, interesting, I had not heard of that one.
Million thanks! Perhaps you could submit the issue here: https://support.vecta.io/hc/en-us/requests/new We'll get back to you from there :)
I'm relieved to see how this turned out. Very reasonable path forward. Was concerned that Java 9 would break everything which thankfully that has been averted, yet progress can still continue on making Java more useful with modularity.
It has helped me to remember that Dunning-Kruger has 2 sides. Beginners tend to fall in the "don't know what they don't know" category, which can lead to over-confidence. But the other side is under-confidence on the part of mid-to-senior level folks. Those with experience start to see that there's a lot they don't know (i.e. they "know what they don't know"), and there's a natural overlap between this state and the state of impostor syndrome.

This doesn't always mean that you're an expert if you feel under-confident (I wish that were the case haha). But it might mean you're moving out of the true beginner quadrant and into journeyman status.

Calling it "imprecise semantics" is quite the understatement.

The environment software runs in is often scarcely understood at all. Operating systems and web browsers change without notice due to auto-upgrades. Libraries are often used without understanding their implementations, and they're also constantly being upgraded. Users can install plugins that introduce bugs that can't be reproduced in the test environment.

You can't build an accurate mathematical model of an environment you haven't observed. Integration tests (run against many platforms) and production logging help, but there are still plenty of unknowns.
> they don't compensate the authors or the peer reviewers,

I suffered reading peer reviewed articles on Elsevier or IEEE with unremarkable results at best, irreproducible results at worst.

The title goes "Novel Way of Breaking a Glass", an abstract that describes the methodology as "dropping a file cabinet on it", and the talent (yes, talent) to come to the conclusion that "file cabinets could prove useful in breaking trees or pierce underground bunkers in the future". Are you kidding me, Dr Bozo et al?

I've had to wade through hundreds of insipid articles which made my feeling of being stupid more bearable but diminished my respect for many things shrouded with a veneer that come at $35 a pop.
(No snark) When talking about java-as-a-platform, what do you mean by user vs dev?

labor is a small component through and through. Most of the money goes to paying off capital. You can dd up all the salaries all the way through and they won't amount to more than 25% of the total.
No he wouldn't. Doctors are not obligated to write up case studies or submit them to medical publications.
The entire private sector would be run by women and gay men in that case.

Sorry, but no.

If I'm going to run a resource heavy VM rather than a platform-native app, I may as well just keep using IDEA on JVM.

I still use it every day!

Of course this means most of my music is pirated (I tend to buy a physical album and then download a well-ripped or digital copy) but I've found it hard to move to other ways of managing my music.

My own way of organizing and collecting makes sense to me and pretty much no one else, but that's fine since hardly anyone else ever wants to use my computer to play music. I'll use Winamp until it is no longer possible to run on Windows, probably.
Janelia Research Campus | Wash DC (Ashburn, VA) | Full-Time | ONSITE | https://goo.gl/ETkrHZ

Janelia (http://www.janelia.org) is looking for two software developers — one concentrating on graphics, the other working mostly on front-end science viz / analysis apps (JS, python). It’s a truly unique environment 15 min north of Dulles. I’d describe it as a Googleplex focused on discovering how the brain works. It's funded by the non-profit Howard Hughes Medical Institute, which has a $18 billion endowment.
The proportion of people who trust Google more than the NHS/government is much lower in the UK compared to the USA.
RadioPublic | Boston, MA | REMOTE | Full-Time | Full-Stack Engineer | http://www.radiopublic.com

Join us in creating a delightful consumer podcast listening experience that is scalable, beautiful and of the highest quality. We want to create something that people love and recommend to their friends. We're looking for someone to join our team working on our Website and APIs. You'll have the opportunity to influence the technical and product decisions at a seed stage company that's rethinking radio. You'll work directly with members of the founding team, and add your own expertise to the conversation. You'll shape the future of podcasts by helping to build an exceptional listening experience for our apps and on the web. We currently have a mix of Rails, AWS Lambda (using Node), Postgres, and ElasticSearch on the backend, and React, CSS, HTML, XML, and some XSLT for good measure on the frontend. Everything our stack does is important, but none of it is precious. We're looking to pick up some serious speed in the coming months.

We're only set up to handle employees in the US right now, but will try to work something out for an exceptional candidate.

>If you put $2 into bitcoin at any point in history and held for 2 years, you have a 0% chance at becoming a millionaire and a 100% chance at breaking even.

That does not compute. What do you mean here exactly? Clearly if you invest $2 in BTC and the value of bitcoins increases 500,000% you're a millionaire. Conversely if it crashes and becomes worthless you've lost everything.

But more generally I wasn't arguing statistics, just pointing out that it's just a big gamble, like the lottery. It's extremely difficult to predict the future of bitcoin so investing in it is not entirely unlike playing the lottery.
I wonder what the range of their sensitivity would be, for various scenarios.

If you have a bot passing through every couple of days, would they continue to visit the rest of the field where the bot is not currently present?

Very interesting factor to consider and be concerned about.

I'm not sure "enabling reckless doctors and corporations to misuse, lose, and sell my personal data" is on the same level as...

My point being that your twisting of my words to the point they are unrecognisable is silly. Some people may look at my policing suggestion as a positive you look at it as a negative. Same thing applies to privacy. You may trust doctors (and corporations) and mistrust the police, others feel the opposite way - or trust neither.

Yes, I threw out the old meme, but I've been using linux as my primary system for 7-8 years. Despite doing so, I still don't think it will ever be mainstream unless you count android - but that isn't a desktop in my opinion. I'll be happy to count android as a linux destop when my phone replaces my laptop!

It looks like the title of this article is "The System Works"; I don't see the part about the world's oldest functioning constitution.

I've often heard it said that the world's oldest functioning constitution is that of San Marino, almost 200 years older than the American one.

The test is to see the impact on whole system health, which is determined by the slowest constituent parts, not the fastest.

Certainly, colonic flora has super high generation time, but the health of the system cannot measurably change over a three day period without changes in measurements falling well within error tolerance. Even if health did improve, the time span chosen is not long enough to sufficiently determine correlation, let alone causation.
The thing is most of us would rather live outside of the store-land and take our chances than be restricted in that way.

> that could be specified in a sufficiently-expressive static type system

Ah the mythical sufficiently-expressive static type system, I'm concerned with type systems that are in use in real jobs, not vaporware ones that could exist if only. Dynamic language support it now.

> You can, in fact, do so for any type supporting the IComparable<T> interface.

Which requires forethought on the designers of said library, I'd rather have duck typing which works without requiring correct future planning with interfaces.
The distinction of what makes a "true UWP app" certainly gets blurrier with the "Centennial" desktop bridge, but it's still rather more "true UWP" than AppV is/was.

Brian Goetz – FP Is Dead Long Live FP
We are talking about software engineering, not electrical engineering. The topic is whether programmers would benefit from taking an ethics class, and the original poster of this thread said "ABET says you should take it, so yes, in the U.S. it's required", and I said "Who the hell cares about ABET". A reply to this has to be some software engineering department that cares. I know other people in other industries care. But computer science, despite the fact that some call ourselves software engineers, is not accredited like a branch of engineering, and the only reason why ABET is involved in this discussion is marketing, as some people really want to pretend that programming is just another engineering discipline, when really it is a craft, and others on the certifying side really want those fees. So saying, "Hey my uncle was a doctor and he couldn't practice if he wasn't approve by the AMA, therefore programmers have to learn what AMA guidelines suggest -- it's crazy"
ClearBrain | San Mateo, CA | Software Engineer / ML / Data / Backend | Full-time, ONSITE | $90K – $140K, 0.75% – 1.5%

ClearBrain's mission is to build a self-service AI to predict any human behavior.

Our first product is a predictive marketing layer that can automatically determine user propensity to buy or churn in minutes, and has helped mid-market to public customers increase conversions by over 40%.

Relevant xkcd, especially the alt-text:

The problem with the JVM is that the UI toolkits are dying or died already. Having the web as UI layer brings much benefit and reduces the investement needed in the UI.

IDEA will most likely hit that problem at some point also...
While it isn't a pure UWP app, it is a step into that direction and already a big difference from being a standard desktop app.
500Startups still have serious questions to answer regarding how they handled this whole process as it seems to indicate deeper problems than just one person.

Most critically they need to address the claims (https://twitter.com/sarahkunst/status/881736309009764352) that hush money was paid to silence victims because if that's true then it's clear evidence of an attempt to cover up the harassment rather than dealing with it.
You also have the right to not get yourself vaccinated, but is that best for society?

The reality is, the more data we have on people the more we can help people make better decisions across their lives. If aggregate medical data identifies a way to save lives or help curb waste/reduce C02 emissions etc... then we should be doing that.
I wonder this as well. Might a kernel update not break some applications or make the system less stable?
