Modsy | ONSITE | San Francisco, Portland, Salt Lake City | Analytics Engineer, Data Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer

https://angel.co/modsy/jobs/242347-analytics-engineer-data-s...

Using a combination of 3D graphics and computer vision, Modsy allows you to "try on" furniture in your own home before you buy it. We're first movers to bring the power of photo-realistic visualizations to the hands of consumers and our engineering team has been the driving force behind this Modsy magic. 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're looking to hire Analytics Engineers, Data Scientists, and Machine Learning engineers. Our data science stack is Python and Matlab.

Our interview process, like our company, moves quickly with an emphasis on creating a personal connection from the first encounter. We do a phone/in-person interview with the Head of Engineering (me), phone call with one of our engineers, and then a half day in office to meet the team before making an offer.

Our product is brought to life by a diverse and talented group of engineers, artists, designers and creators. You can read more about our founder, Shanna, and our team at modsy.com/about-us.

VanillaJS, jQuery, and Ember will be very far from VB in terms of simplicity. There really is nothing quite like VB for web development right now. It's strange/interesting that such a thing hasn't been created yet (or hasn't gained any traction).

I think React comes close in the sense that the code you write to create the components can map very closely to divs on an HTML page. There's no visual drag/drop editor or anything, but with Create React App, you can make changes to the code and see the browser refresh every time you save.

Have a look at the official React tutorial too: https://facebook.github.io/react/tutorial/tutorial.html

EDIT: now that I've bothered to Google it, here's at least one project that looks like a VB-style builder using React: https://github.com/ipselon/structor
Wow, I never knew that was the reason why Apple used to charge for the updates. Thanks for the link.
Yes, yes, but this example is so well trod that it immediately popped into your mind, and, what's more, try to think of a sentence where you might honestly be confused about whether "pound" or "book" was meant.
"Rather different" phonemes? There is no room for them to be more similar to each other without coinciding. And they contrast in only a single minimal pair, one element of which is incredibly rare.
The problem is that someone will then work out a way of hacking the drive so that it ignores the physical switch and allows then to change the contents. Then you have lots of inconvenienced users having to use a switch which ends up not protecting them anyway.
If you are in a situation where you can't code, there are enough good code conference videos on YouTube to keep you busy for several lifetimes. Also, you can watch the CS classes of many top-tier universities for free. But, videos are only good for keeping you informed about new tech and techniques. Speaking as someone who watches a ton of tech vids, they are not a good way to build a working understanding of anything.

To build skills, you are going to need to code. I don't know about your particular situation, but I expect you'll need to experiment with a few different approaches before you find one that works for you. For example: you know C#. But, maybe learning Haskell would set you up to read and think a lot more than you type. Or, maybe Python would be more fun, easy and motivating even when you are feeling bad.
Related, a self destroying game I built some time ago: https://void4.github.io/ The yellow dot is the instruction pointer, the red dots represent the program memory. If you hit the ball just right you can introduce graphic glitches. Most times, the instruction pointer gets out of bounds however.
If you mean in the frontend, AngularJS was going in that direction. Then react came along and the angular developers decided to copy it, in a different language and with even more boilerplate.

I believe nowadays it's ember the one that comes with batteries included, but I haven't used it nor read a lot about it so don't quote me on that.

If you meant the backend, the only one I always hear about is express, but I'm not sure about that one either.
Yep. You can now call these APIs from the desktop, AFAIK.

Cheryl Yeoh's story was the #1 story just a while ago, and it is now nowhere to be seen. I suspect some people are actively downvoting/flagging such stories.

I'm even more surprised at the how number of people who are still defending McClure even after all this.

I expected the usual "that can't be the entire story, there must be a detail they aren't telling us", which is a skepticism I can still somewhat understand given today's media landscape.

But even now after the details came out, I am now seeing the "that is a normal behaviour from a heterosexual man" responses. It feels so disheartening to see that these kind of responses not only exist in the industry but we are actually having arguments about it. And I'm a man. Hard to imagine how it would feels for the women in the industry.
I use a screensaver on my Mac, and it seems like it refuses to recognise the image in ~/Library/Application Support/Artpip/images as an inmate without the .jpg extension. Is there any chance of you changing the images to use a .jpg extension, so I can set my screensaver to use your folder automatically.
Just out of curiosity, which language are your examples from? I'm asking because my native language is Serbian and it also features "male" tables and "female" government.
Right, we don't have an academy of English. Instead we have several competing organizations publishing dictionaries and style guides to the same purpose.
If I use a strict subset of C++, probably will do. However, figuring out the subset of different C++ standards and implementation that doesn't include extra pointers is hard. I might need to re-implement some useful utilities like unique pointer and share pointers as well. Some fundamental data structure in C++ includes pointers as well, like short string optimization introduce extra pointers. With my poor C++ knowledge, I don't even know what are the other pointers are missing..
I'm not sure that (gasp!) comments are a good thing these days.

The idea in general is well understood, the popular HDF5 library has an IO driver which essentially memory maps structures in this way. Numpy also allows for memory mapping numpy complex structures. In the past I have used this strategy for mapping point data (on the order of billions of points) which would never possibly fit into memory.

Tuning the allocator is not as straight forward as you may believe. If you have variable sized allocations the problem is fairly difficult... you essentially are forced to rewrite a worse version of ptmalloc, jemalloc, or tcmalloc. If your allocations are fixed, you're in a slightly rosier situation. However, you have to consider - how will you support deletions? Will you journal and garbage collect? Are you going to force variable latency? Are you going to implement atomic barriers on lockless structures? Now that I think of it... what is the cost of an atomic operation on a shared memory map? You will also need to concern yourself with cache hits/misses. In my experience it is somewhat difficult to predict what memory in your map is going to be in cache and what won't. If your data scatters... your performance is going to be fairly slow.
English, German, French, etc are also "of a similar ancestor language as Persian".
I made a similar project for myself. Downloaded a bunch of painting torrents and set them as auto-changing backgrounds at interval of 5 minutes. For about 2 years I set a second monitor to work as a museum tour - to walk me through art. I watched Hermitage, Sotheby's and another one with 50K paintings on random mode.

An important feature was that I engraved the name of the author and painting on the images themselves in order to remember what I like most (hint: Hermitage is full of excellent portraits of russian aristocracy). After some time, visual detail begins to open up and art appreciation increases. We just need exposure.

This is an excellent point. Sometimes, I think certain things just shouldn't get coverage, like a particularly silly / obviously wrong thing Trump tweets.
Critical, from critic:

1580s, "one who passes judgment," from Middle French critique (14c.), from Latin criticus "a judge, literary critic," from Greek kritikos "able to make judgments," from krinein "to separate, decide" (from PIE root krei- "to sieve," thus "discriminate, distinguish"). Meaning "one who judges merits of books, plays, etc." is from c. 1600. The English word always had overtones of "censurer, faultfinder."*

That is, you literally cannot use the term "critical thinking" without employing metaphor.

> the recovered writings of a Roman scholar who seriously proposed dropping the letter 'c' as redundant and replacing it with 'k' anywhere it is used

Can you source this? It doesn't make a lot of sense -- the Latin letter C wasn't redundant, because there is no Latin letter K.
The first application I worked in from the ground-up is a flask app; quite a learning experience, to put it lightly. Despite the amount of technical debt accumulated, however, I don't regret it. I grew a lot as a developer and became more knowledgeable about web development in general.

I picked flask then because I, rather dogmatically, distrusted Django and its batteries included approach. Nowadays, I think it's great and almost the perfect choice to prototype something quickly. That said, if I felt the application would grow in functionality too much, I'd use Flask. Django gets in one's way rather quickly.

Took almost an hour to read but was worth it. What I don't understand here is why this kind of disproportionately conservative grid lock, and cultural baiting is the future of American poltics?

It looked like Texas was unique in the ability for conservatives to hold sway in what the author leads us to understand is a diverse state.

MKBHD seems to be this generation's Walter Mossberg: he's a trusted reviewer who goes into the appropriate level of detail, given his audience. I have no idea what he makes but he drives a Tesla and shoots in 4k and 8k on pretty high-end cameras. Seems to be doing well enough, anyway.

Agreed, ideas create culture - I guess I've found personally that respectful discussion with those of opposing viewpoints is more productive than 'fighting' them or shutting them down entirely, which flagging kinda seems like. Those have the paradoxical effect of making the person more defensive and angry and work harder to promote their point. So a downvote and a reply with a more convincing argument seems reasonable. I don't know the HN systems that well though, I only post occasionally. And yeah, the discussions may not go anywhere. That's democracy :)

You may enjoy contemplating a sort of "epiphany" that I had during that usual pondering of imponderables:

That the default or base state of existence may not be nothing, not "not even nothing", but rather Everything. ...

Instead of viewing the origin of all reality/creation as things being added to a canvas of blackness/emptiness/voidness, rather consider that "Existence" may be a subtractive process: akin to holes being poked into a canvas of white, or bubbles in a boiling liquid.

(I mean even before the Big Bang, or the classic "Who Created God"/Prime Mover/First Cause question – humans are given to assuming that the start of anything must be Zero or Nothingness, that the end of everything is Oblivion, and that may not be the case.)

Our existence is a "filter", our perceptions being a very limited subset of everything that's around us, of select wavelengths and frequencies and etc. This entire universe could just be a transient bubble inside a flood of Everythingness. [0]

> I don't really look at my desktop very often

Use an older second monitor that you have laying around. Its proximity to the main monitor will place the paintings right in your viewfield, but your work on the main monitor will be unaffected. When you take a breather you can enjoy art.
Sorry but the rules aren't black and white like that, "Too much eye contact" "Your vibe get flirty" (or conversely "Your vibe gets weird") gets thrown in; it's anxiety inducing when you have to worry about anything that's natural or involuntary when in the presence of someone you're attracted to being policed as causing discomfort to someone. Hence enshrining detailed coordinates means you don't have to worry about that (presuming the list actually excludes such involuntary innocuous behavioral changes as extra eye contact).
Would it be correct to say that these two factors are what make McClure's behavior inappropriate?

No, it would not be, at all.

First of all, it's not a 'sharp' s, as one can see compairing 'Maße' and 'Masse'. I doubt this will be used in practice. Many people nowadays are confused by last orthography rules and even write 'Straße' wrongly with double-s.
The majority of my work is written clearly and named well, so it doesn’t (in my opinion) merit comment.

That being said, if I’m doing some obscure calculations or something ambiguous, I’ll usually comment on it (for future me to understand the context).
It's pretty simple: once you start touching and kissing people that have told you not to, that's assault.
G, J, K, U, W, Y, and Z are all characters that aren't used in Latin (in the case of G, J, U, and W, because they didn't exist; in the case of Y, it is used in Greek words but doesn't represent a sound that's possible in Latin; I'm not sure if Z was used in Greek words or not. K is just a Greek letter -- since it represents the sound written with C in Latin, it is never used at all).

> I always wondered how much on average a Youtuber makes, per 100K or 1 Million video views. Any original Youtuber care to throw some light on this?

I believe the reason this is so hard to find out is that it's in their contracts that they can't disclose their earnings publicly. Plus, their revenue comes from ads shown on their videos and advertisers pay varying amounts depending on how in-demand that kind of content is.

Best bet is going to be estimates from places like SocialBlade.

And that won't even take into account things like endorsements and merch, which is how people like PewDiePie make a lot of their money, nor will it take into account costs of production or other things like management or an MCN.
The machine-readable part of the German passport uses this DIN standard, so to avoid having to explain German orthography to some suspicious border guard, you'd better make sure you use it.
> Nowadays many young YouTubers can become flush with cash much more quickly ...

The problem is that people conflate "more individuals are making it big" with "individuals have a better chance of making it big." The number of contributors trying to make it into a career is far, far larger than it was, and has increased far more quickly than the number of contributors actually making a lot of money.

Not really, though. If you donate a book that cannot be made presentable with minimal effort, it will get scrapped, rather than be put up for sale or archived. There's only limited budget, and the discard bin costs less, by far, compared to staffing a book sale (even if it's once a year) or books take up space in "an archive" when another branch or library has the book in active circulation. Way more books get discarded than you might think.

Funny you're saying this, because it took me a while to understand what you meant by "DL" (which is required to understand what code you're complaining about).
As someone from that era, this seems much worse. It just seems like a scam to me. I keep noticing this trend that whenever there's a sudden drop in the price of a cryptocurrency the exchanges in question conveniently go offline. Seems a little more than coincidental. It's too easy to manipulate. Especially with the new trend of ICO's offering a "new" cryptocurrency built around their exchange. What happens to the currency if the exchange goes belly up? Plus they don't even have it working yet. No code, nothing. Even the write up in the article seems suspect.

Thanks for pointing that out QuadrupleA.
If only half of the story is true, it's still mind blowing what's going on. Very unfortunately that PG isn't involved anymore.

That Sam has doubts about Adam Penenberg integrity speaks volumes for itself - Stephen Glass fraud investigator fame - there is even a movie about the case. No wonder the HN got flagged, uneasy story, it's the user.
Those are all examples of problems learners hit only when they've successfully learned English. By the time a non-native speaker has to worry about subjunctive or less vs. fewer, they've already reached a level of proficiency that allows them to communicate fluently despite an occasional grammatical gaffe.

Before reaching that level, however, they have to deal with truly maddening stuff like how to pronounce word like "read" or "tear" or "close", or why it's "an interesting little book" instead of "a little interesting book", or why you can see a movie but you're not "seeing TV", or the fact that both "thir-tee" and "thir-dee" mean 30.

> I think there are several markets in art delivery but it will take connections, money, and luck to prise it open.

Curious about this. I love art and visit musuems regularly.

The first time I saw a van Gogh at d'Orsay I got goose pimples. A flat 2D image on my laptop or a TV does not come anywhere close to the experience of seeing the painting itself.

Aren't musuems the best 'art delivery' mechanism there is?

Then you should know why it's not practical to run rails to every grocery store and dry cleaner in every town in the US.

I will never understand the obsession with fixed-rail transit on this site. It's interesting to observe, but it's never been satisfactorily explained. Is it just a matter of people never having been out of the Bay Area in their lives?

In an age where personal mobility is becoming more important rather than less, when costs associated with large-scale civic construction projects have skyrocketed and completion times have come to be measured in decades, and when networked fleets of self-driving cars are almost literally just around the corner, rail transit in the general case is about the dumbest thing ever. But I recognize that this is essentially a religious argument, and that you're equally certain you're right. Not much we can do but vote accordingly, I guess.
