SolarWinds / Librato | Senior Customer Success Engineer | Cambridge, MA | ONSITE

We are looking for a Customer Success Engineer for our Cambridge, MA office. In this role you are a customer advocate. You are equally passionate about making a user successful as you are about the product. Your goal is to help a prospect understand the benefits of the service, to educate a trial user on how to use the app correctly, to support a customer when things go wrong, and to ensure they are happy at all times.
You should have a background as a developer or in ops. Not only because that allows you to interact with our users as a peer but also because when we are not busy with support, we develop tools that help us with support processes and data analysis.

Pingdom/Papertrail/Librato/TraceView are wholly owned by SolarWinds, Inc. so you get the benefits of a small startup, with the backing of a big company so there is no worry about the next round of funding. SolarWinds offers competitive bonus and matching 401k programs that create an attractive total compensation package.
Learn more at: http://solarwinds.jobs/cambridge-ma/senior-support-engineer/... or contact me directly at nik@librato.com (no recruiters).
Of late I have been enthralled by this show called 'Life Below Zero' (It's on Netflix and I really recommend watching it) - it's a reality TV show which profiles folks living in the Alaskan Bush. It primarily revolves around 4-5 different folks who live in various extreme remote parts of Alaska.

Reading this article, it really reminded me of one of the lead characters, Glenn Villeneuve (http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/life-below-zero/articl...), who lives a very spartan and primitive (by his own choosing) hunter-gatherer lifestyle in the Brooks Range (Chandalar, AK). He hunts for all his food and just boils them mostly (and often times eats them raw). He doesn't not use seasoning at all. I am guessing his gut microbes must be pretty robust and diverse.

Main difference between Hadza and his place is that food sources are very spread out and thin in Chandalar. Most of the show is just following him trying to find his food.

[OT: I generally dislike watching reality TV shows (and also TV in general). But this show has made me change my opinion on reality TV. Or it could just be because Alaska has a special place in my heart :)]
Well, the challenge is developing more fine-tuned tests than simple labeling that humans perform better at.

Things: labeling and segmenting, labeling according natural language instruction or whatever.

I mean, AI naturally have made more progress in situations where progress can be exactly quantified but the activity of creating tests is only somewhat separated from the activity of creating AIs. Most tests in different directions could spur more research in those directions.

"Can I mix vinegar and baking soda?"

Sorry, but I couldn't determine what substance you were inquiring about, but I think you wanted to know about interactions.

Same answer for "Can I mix orange juice and vodka?"
Uncomfortable and hurt people are never going to react in a positive way, and expecting otherwise is going to result in disappointment.

They'll certainly do something, but most people who care about the issue won't like what is done. They may:

Become even more hostile about the subject.

Be even less willing to open the ranks to more women.

Double down on "it's someone else's problem".

Worse, people who currently give a shit and act on that may just... stop. "I support their work and I just get attacked for it, why bother?"
Awesome, looking forward to using something that adds value beyond 'invisible protection'

SumUp | Senior Frontend Engineer | Berlin | ONSITE, VISA https://sumup.com

The people of SumUp have brought the best way to accept card payments to 15 countries so far, but we won’t stop there. Headquartered in London, SumUp's major offices are in Berlin, Sofia and São Paulo. The Berlin office alone comprises more than 130 people from more than 30 countries.

SumUp could be interesting for you as an engineer in part because we cover so many platforms: we have physical hardware (made right here in Berlin), our own proprietary payment processing platform, mobile apps on iOS and Android, SDKs and APIs supporting third-party integration, and of course (the main star, in this team's humble opinion) a merchant-facing web app.

The frontend team consists of 5 devs, looking to grow by several members. We are hiring:

>>> Senior Frontend Engineer: https://sumup.com/careers/senior-frontend-developer

Our tech stack includes React, Angular 1.6, Webpack, Node (Koa and Express), Lodash, d3, and a little RxJS.

You'll be a great fit if you have a passion for technical excellence, enjoy implementing beautiful designs, are relatively comfortable working on the command line, and strive to learn something new every day!
I would be comfortable sharing my data (for the greater good) if I had a ironclad guarantee -- that I could believe -- that it wouldn't be used against me.

The U.S. is nowhere near that. So, no data for collective you -- except when you rip it from my fear-clenched hands, regardless.

Think I'm speaking in the abstract? In my 20's -- a few decades ago -- I had to purchase individual insurance. I had one -- one -- appointment with a psychologist in the prior two years of medical history then requested. A "touchbase" from some childhood counseling.

Fortunately, a friend of a friend was able to "unofficially" run my insurance application by the underwriting team. If it had been "officially" processed, the result would have ended up in a shared database of application results. (Yes, the insurance companies in the U.S. have long shared their underwriting decisions with each other -- surprise!)

The word back on my application: Denied! Why? (Again, I had an inside track on the process not normally available to the applicant.) Because of that one -- one -- counseling visit, in isolation and with no attendant diagnosis.

I learned my lesson. I will never share such data, that can be used against me, without ironclad assurances. And, as the past couple of decades' experience, both direct and learning by reading and observing the news and other cases, have taught me, such assurance is pretty much impossible to achieve -- even commitments made in law are taken back as soon as power shifts.

The one hope for this changing that I see? Universal health care coverage. Because then, at a societal level, you are covered regardless. Your individual history no longer plays a role in whether you are covered.

I hope that the logical, scientific side of medical science starts to see things this way: That the future, expansion, and greater facility and efficacy of their work, depends on it.
Noone has mentioned webrecorder.io, which is what i use to archive pages.
The title is from the twitter card; since "The System Works" is quite ambiguous here and there is no other way to transport context I thought it was the better one. Also, since now there are comments I can't change it anymore, sorry.
The UK ICO is one of the better regulators out there, and it seems the punishment (nothing) is proportionate to the actual harm done here (apparently none). But this is still a sad outcome.

The message that tech workers will take away from this sort of thing is "don't try to work with the NHS or do anything innovative in healthcare". DeepMind didn't appear to have any actual business plan in mind for Streams - all the stuff I read from them on this project implied it was driven simply by a desire to help the UK's national treasure/obsession. Being owned by Google does let important execs do pet projects like this so I don't see any need for conspiracy theories here.

Both the ICO and the NHS are part of the government and yet they reached different decisions about the same laws, I expect DeepMind had their own legal advice which also concluded it was OK. It is unlikely any other company or startup could get a hard-and-fast 100% guaranteed correct deal with the NHS to do things with patient data.

It's doubly unfortunate because the NHS has deeply dysfunctional IT and badly needs the assistance of data specialists. It faces huge challenges to become more efficient and shows little ability to do so. Healthcare records are still passed around on paper, the biggest IT failure in history was an attempt to digitise the NHS, medical data leaks all over the place and is guarded far more loosely than Google would ever consider, many genetic diseases are fairly rare and need a lot of data analysis to make progress on, and so on. Healthcare and the tech industry should be a match made in heaven. Instead the very, very few attempts to dance together inevitably seem to end badly.

Stanford Research Computing Center | HPC System Administrator | Stanford, CA | ONSITE

Hello!

The Stanford Research Computing Center (SRCC, http://srcc.stanford.edu) is a join effort of the Dean of Research and University IT. We are looking for someone to join our team as an HPC System Administrator.

The SRCC provides lots of services to the Stanford community (which includes non-Stanford researchers collaborating on Stanford research): We maintain several large compute environments (like Sherlock—yes, the Sherlock mentioned recently on Silicon Valley) for various uses. We offer consultation services, helping users get the most from our environments. We offer workshops and training, on topics relevant to the HPC community. We also offer architecture, sysadmin, and development services to labs. We also offer hosting in the SRCF, our purpose-built research data center.

As HPC System Administrator, you're going to be responsible for one of our larger compute environments. You'll also be one of the points of contact for several labs on campus (I'm the other point of contact). All of the systems that you'll be interacting with will be running Linux, typically either CentOS 6/7 or Ubuntu LTS.

Even though I summarized the duties in one paragraph, you should expect to have various weird requests come up. For example, in the 2 years I've been here, I've…

• Automated the DNA post-sequencing workflow for a lab.

• Helped secure a number of systems which hold HIPAA data.

• Acted as the SRCC representative at a number of office hours, where community members come for in-person support.

• Created the foundational Puppet code for the next iteration of our FarmShare cluster.

• Created a one-sheet flyer (with Inkscape and Scribus) that is now used by our manager, and by our faculty liasons.

• Was primarily responsible for our table at a recent open-house.

The first three items are things you should expect to do, and the remaining items are the kinds of things that you can step up and do when the need arises.

We use tons of different technologies. We use Puppet in some places, and Rocks in others. We use technologies (like Infiniband, Lustre, and GPFS) and software (like SLURM and MPI) that you may not have used before, and we also use stuff (like Linux, Git, Apache, Kerberos, and LDAP) that you likely have used before.

This position is on-site, on Stanford's campus. We want people to commute as much as possible, so we'll pay for your Caltrain; if you live in Santa Clara county, we'll also pay for VTA. Our primary data center is on the SLAC campus, but we have our own van (it's pretty cool), so getting around is no problem.

You can read the job posting at [1]. You should also feel free to reach out if you have questions! My email address is in my profile.

I think that the most recent attack in Ukraine already overcame this obstacle. They were able to use an in-place update system by a trusted software vendor to install their malicious code on the victim's computer. That software would almost certainly have had permissions even under this list, so it's not that effective.

A great piece called "Disruption is not a strategy" by Jerry Neumann (http://reactionwheel.net/2016/05/disruption-is-not-a-strateg...) illustrates the difficulties of taking the lofty ideas from The Innovator's Dilemma and applying them to new companies. He also makes the observation that Christensen was writing for Fortune 500 CEOs who care about risk management, not upstart companies trying to find product-market fit.

I think it's most prudent to acknowledge disruption theory as one of many interconnected factors that influence the outcome of business ventures instead of an unshakable dogma with a dominating impact on all things.

I am an employee of the company. I said they, because it is not my personal decision who gets hired or not and there are many teams and different locations that are hiring. I agree WE would have been a better choice of word.
A plausible approach would be to instrument the editor to log 'edit -events'. Then one could fit/learn an appropriate probabilistic model/grammar. After that given two pieces of text A and B it becomes a question of finding the most probable edits that takes you from A to B.

This is far from a new idea. Age old Levenstein distance can be seen as a special case. Here the edit model is very simple. All letter addition, deletion, and substitutions are equally likely. More realistic a model one uses the better the results will look like provided one has enough data to train.

One could train models for specific languages (natural as well as programming). If we have language specific syntax highlighting, why not language specific edit models. One could do personalized models, etc etc.
How do you normally handle those unknowns?
>But if you're building something that you hope you'll have to rapidly scale, Django is going to hurt you. It's way harder to scale due to both its heavy reliance on hidden magic its tight integration with its data store.

Considering that Django has 1/5th as much "magic" as Rails, and that Rails powers some of the biggest websites on the world, I'd say "citation needed".

Which parts are you referring to as magic, the models? I use DRF and find the way it deals with defaults quite nice, your can use a model and it will generate fields or not, and specify or generate them yourself.
If you want to declare program files and system settings unprotected along with the user files, you could just continue to use UAC and make it only trigger two or three times a year. It'll protect you about as well as the switch, which is very little.
