Parse.ly | Software Engineer | Remote | Full-Time

What's Parse.ly? We've built a real-time content measurement layer for the entire web. Our analytics platform helps digital storytellers at some of the web's best sites, such as Arstechnica, The New Yorker, TechCrunch, The Intercept, Mashable, and many more. In total, our analytics system handles over 65 billion monthly events from over 1 billion monthly unique visitors.

Parse.ly is a fully distributed team, as described here: https://blog.parse.ly/post/4736/mission/?utm_campaign=aug201...

Our entire stack is in Python and JavaScript, and our team has innovated in areas related to real-time analytics, building some of the best open source tools for working with modern stream processing technologies. Our UX/design team has also built one of the best-looking dashboards on the planet, using AngularJS and D3.js. You can see some screenshots: http://parse.ly/tour?utm_campaign=aug2017_job&utm_source=hn

Our distributed team is best-in-class and we happily skip commutes by working out of our ergonomic home offices. Here's a photograph of mine running two full-screen Parse.ly dashboards on my monitors: https://flic.kr/p/v1NZ73

To see an example of how we work, check out the blog post, "Whatever It Takes": https://blog.parse.ly/post/46/?utm_campaign=aug2017_job&utm_...

We are growing fast and we have five open positions on the product team:

- UX Engineer

- Data Engineer

- Machine Learning Engineer

- Infrastructure Engineer

- Success Engineer

Each role is described in depth in this Github gist: https://gist.github.com/amontalenti/0a9b3af3adf7d13540911058...

I don't yet, as I've been pretty heads down. I'll put one together this week and reply back once it's up.
But this is not a problem of Discord but of all group chats. The initial discussion point was that Discord might be insecure because of young hackers building the product.

I don't follow. Planet Nine is not expected to be another dwarf planet like Pluto. There are a handful of other dwarf planets known already, some bigger than Pluto, and it's expected that there are hundreds more yet to be discovered.
Good catch. I suppose it's because curl seems to be the standard tool when showing an example for a REST API.
> Real people often prefer ease of use and a multitude of features to perfect, unbreakable security. So this is not about asking the companies to break encryption or create so called "back doors". Who uses WhatsApp because it is end-to-end encrypted, rather than because it is an incredibly user-friendly and cheap way of staying in touch with friends and family? Companies are constantly making trade-offs between security and "usability", and it is here where our experts believe opportunities may lie.

lol what a terrible argument.

> suggesting that E2E encryption hinders usability

> points to the massive number of WhatsApp as proof
I've been a fan of Dr. Arguelles for many years now. If you're interested in just how much he studies, take a look at this video he uploaded to YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oudgdh6tl00
Well that's your answer to your question. You forgot to optimize the images, because with your test environment, you don't notice it.

If you were testing over a dial-up connection, you would notice it.

Same with app writers. They forgot to optimize their app because they're testing it on the latest and greatest phones on their home network (or a corporate network which is blazing fast). If they tested on a low-end phone, and actually performed the update themselves over a slow cell network, they'd probably notice it.

Many common tools aren't set up for common-sense optimization. Ideally resizing images would be an automatic step, and you wouldn't have to remember. But that's not the case.

I'm sure that there are plenty of iPhone apps with 2 MB images from a camera, when a 256 KB image would do.
“I’m having those conversations in private.”

The irony.
cordova, debugging info, unscaled and uncompressed images.
It should definitely exist, but Apple's one-size-fits-all approach is pretty dumb. It ought to be configurable. The 100MB limit is way too big for someone on a really limited cellular plan, and way too small for someone on a high-end plan.

I learned to program using Borland Turbo C for DOS, but my first GUI applications were built with Delphi 2.0, which was the first 32-bit version. I earned my first money ever selling a shareware application I built with Delphi, before reaching puberty yet!

The Windows platform was awful so I ran away to Unix, and trying to find something even close to Delphi was just impossible. The best thing we had was Tcl/Tk, which I used a fair bit.

I tried Java at the time and remember saying to myself: You got to be kidding me.

Eventually I gave up on GUI development for Unix and embraced the web browser is the UI philosophy and develop the back-end in Python (then a fairly new language). Best career move I ever made.

I'm still fond of Delphi, it was a great product.
TenX | https://www.tenx.tech | Singapore | Onsite (VISA OK) & REMOTE OK

Positions: DevOps (who can really write tools) | Rust Programmers | Security Specialists.

Remuneration: Extremely competitive.

Based in Singapore, we're TenX, a cryptocurrency-focused tech company that strives to build the best software in the crypto world, starting with a multi-cryptocurrency wallet. Having raised $80M in our ICO, we're now ready to scale our team and tackle bigger challenges.

We're primarily looking for strong Rust developers, but are open to smart programmers willing to extend their skillset. We are strong believers in CI, testing, and safe and secure programming principles, as we're doing business in a very rough and demanding environment.

The extent of what we're building is very wide, so various backgrounds are welcome, as long as you do not
mind writing solid backend code. Experience with credit card payment integrations is a definite plus for
some of our projects.

No whiteboard or fizzbuzz interview, but don't worry we'll make you sure can code.

Reach me at klodio at the company's domain if you want to know more!
I don't really get this article. The transaction rate limit and the wastefulness and limitations of PoW as a fault-tolerance mechanism are brought up but then just hand-waved away.

If we had discussed proof of stake or theorized about how some of these other hurdles like transaction rate could be leaped then sure. Otherwise it's just a list of things any distributed system has to solve for, demonstration that blockchain solves for them (inefficiently) with the undertone of "I bought in on the hype, and you can too".
In general, if your software supports plugins, you can:

1. Have plugins with ultimate power (meaning that plugins can change everything, no encapsulation)
2. Stable API/ABI (meaning that plugins written for version 1 will work with version 2)
3. A refactorable code base.

You can pick only two out of three.

Traditionally, Firefox chose 1 and 2, and for stuck without multiprocess support for years (causing it to have worse performance and security), and now wants to move to 2 and 3.

Incidentally, I suspect that's _one_ of the reasons Linux doesn't have a stable Kernel ABI - they chose 1 and 3.
Apple, Inc. | Cupertino

The main platform's menu is written in Delphi. The tools to package apps (both the AppNamePortable.exe launcher and the installer they are then packaged in) are written using NSIS. Developers packaging most apps can do so just by filling in INI files without writing a single line of code. The utilities include NSIS itself, auto-generate the code needed for the installers and launchers, and automatically compile them.

Swift libs are ~ 10 MB, still 265 MB to go.
No. I'm sorry, but to me this seems like such a childlike mentality: "Any attention is good attention."

Being ignored is preferable to being ostracized by the community at large. Or so I thought, anyways. Now I realize that my mistake was publishing in the first place. There's only negative outcomes, in general. You'll meet a few good people along the way, and you have to decide if that is worth the trouble or not, it's a scale of personal experience.
If price were no option, I would buy custom tailored -- but assuming we're talking about online mail-order here, the tailoring has to take into account all the relevant measurements, not just the ones used for mass-produced sizing.

For instance, women's tops are usually sized with measurements for bust, waist, and sometimes hip. However, a whole lot of them don't fit me because I have unusual arm proportions. And it's impossible to know which will because there are no measurements provided for shoulder/yoke, neck, length, or sleeve length.

Without being able to customize all those measurements, a garment doesn't count as "custom-tailored" in my book.

The goal of the article is to get distributed systems engineers excited about blockchain and invite them to explore positions at Paxos. Ironically none of the open positions are actually for distributed systems engineers :)

I think it's funny the author chose to center the article around that assumption. IMO most engineers related to distributed computing (not necessarily themselves distributed systems engineers) are actually quite aware of the technology and many of the challenges.

The problem is largely the UK's lack of a constitution. There are no checks or balances in the UK. Parliament can literally do anything they want. The courts can't block Parliament. Parliament can just abolish the courts. The house of lords can't stop the house of commons, the commons can just override the lords. The queen won't veto the commons because she fears parliament will just abolish the monarchy.
The only reasonable, real-world solution to the linked list question is "How many bids do you need for me to collect for licensing the third-party code library? Three? It's usually at least three. I'll look at Infragistics, JetBrains, and anything I can find that's open source, and get back to you by COB. Are there any specific features that the linked list has to have? Any deal breakers? Do we need official support, or is community forum support enough?"

You ask me to do a linked list--in 2017--and I'll have to start determining whether that smell is "Not Invented Here" or "Cargo Cult". How many languages don't have such lists as part of their standard libraries now (or at least part of a common libre-license or gratis-license library)?

But no... I'll just continue to answer the question as though my CS prof is grading me on it, and just convert my concerns into salary expectations for the negotiations phase. Any company that asks such questions is obviously bad at gauging real technical skill, therefore I should ask for way more money than I think I am worth, and invest all of my limited acting skill into believing that number. They are relying on me to tell them how good I am, so I will game the system, cram for their stupid questions, and tell them I am the absolute best.

Then I can spend all my working hours copy-pasting the answers to already-solved problems from the Internet.

The real genius developers are spending their free time helping lesser developers on Stack Exchange/Overflow for free, because the companies that hired them have no idea how to make use of that level of expertise, and that's the only way they ever get to encounter any fun or interesting problems to solve.

Amazon is going for a "Try and buy" thing, not a styling service.
Yes, things that can't continue forever, won't. Eventually much of the Great Plains will be native grassland again. That is its natural condition. The parts of Arizona and California that currently host alfalfa fields will be actual desert again, and the dairy industry will return to the Midwest where it belongs.

Even when being hyperbolic, however, you could move your border west a whole state. I doubt Minnesota, Iowa, Arkansas, or Louisiana are any more worried about the next Dust Bowl than we are. My impression is that Missouri is the driest of the states on our longitude.

Honestly this is not great.

HAProxy is an amazingly powerful tool, and you're using it like a brick. What's more, instead of building a wall with that brick, you're burying it in the mud and saying "Tadaa".

The irony of having HAProxy in place to load balance/failover between two web servers, but then stopping HAproxy every time you need to renew a certificate is amazing.

>Heads should roll for such poor decisions.

If it was an unreasonable risk (from their information) or incompetence, there's an argument for firing the person. But if they did everything right and the chances of financial disaster where reasonably low it would set very bad incentives to fire people over it.
https://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/blog/the-blockchain-paradox-why-dis...

"Let me explain why. In economic organization, we must distinguish between enforcing rules and making rules. Laws are rules enforced by state bureaucracy and made by a legislature. The SWIFT Protocol is a set of rules enforced by SWIFTNet (a centralized computational system) and made, ultimately, by SWIFT’s Board of Directors. The Bitcoin Protocol is a set of rules enforced by the Bitcoin Network (a distributed network of computers) made by — whom exactly? Who makes the rules matters at least as much as who enforces them. Blockchain technology may provide for completely impartial rule-enforcement, but that is of little comfort if the rules themselves are changed. This rule-making is what we refer to as governance."
