NEXEDI | Lille/Munich/Paris/Plovdiv | ONSITE | 4/12 months INTERNS

We are looking for new colleagues to help improve our FOSS software solutions and contribute to research and industrial projects. If you are passionate about open source software and like one of our topics on http://www.nexedi.com/jobs get in touch with us! Candidates will do a programming challenge followed by an interview. We're currently looking for:

- Nexedi | Big Data Machine Learning Python Developer | Munich | ONSITE

- Nexedi | Web Mesh Network JavaScript Developer | Lille | INTERN

- Nexedi | Artificial Language Processing Python Developer | Lille | INTERN

About Nexedi: We are a small international team of about 35 programmers (headquarters in Lille, France) creating free software since 2001. We run our own stack with ERP5 (Business Suite), SlapOS (Cloud Deployment) and Wendelin (Big Data/Machine Learning) being the main solutions for which we provide customization services (our code is free, our time isn't). We have time to tinker, need to think out-of-the-box/ram/space and work mostly autonomous. We all use Chromebooks, our hierarchy is as flat as the area around Lille, our offices are paperless and we have no meetings. We mostly hack in Python and (vanilla) JavaScript. If you're looking for fame or gain, we're not the right place. For purpose and leverage, we might be worth considering. Join us!
Constantly. I was the chair of an student development team that runs AI Tournaments (http://siggame.io/). We get a constant stream of freshmen and most of them are very new with programming. I don't think our organization would survive if we didn't mentor new people. Since graduating I still mentor people in programming, resume building and other things.

I do have my work cut out for me though since they are usually still students.

I think 2 Mbps is minimal for using the web now because every horrible site has an autoloading video on it. The FCC definition of broadband is 25 Mbps.
To be honest, my partner and I just made a Sheets doc of all the blogs we read, and emailed the writers (usually professors) letting them know that they can give their readers a fair way "out" of the ad ecosystem. They loved it.

Figuring out how to remove ads client-side while not getting the site "charged" for policy violations by the ad networks was tough, though.
I do some paid mentoring. I don't need the money, but I insist people pay to confirm their commitment, and ensure I am not wasting my time. It's a policy I recommend.

How did I get started? I was asked if I would agree to it. As a former CTO and engineering manager with 40 years experience on very large projects in commerce and industry, I offer a different perspective and level of experience.
This sounds like a recruiter/HR person/manager: "in Germany we would have to pay you 60-80k EUR, in the country you are currently in 40k USD is generous... why? look at Numbeo - it cannot lie!"

Innovation is a thing. If your business model depends on low labor costs, then ultimately, your business model depends on having a perpetual economic recession to suppress wages. Or Pinkertons to just shoot anyone demanding more money.

When the economy is actually growing, don't shoot everyone in the foot to keep your costs down. Just pay more money and innovate.

And if you can't, go bankrupt. Such is life on the free market.

It's fine to submit this, but please drop the "Show HN" in the future.
The primary reason for not providing services in "rest of the world" is apparently "fuck you".

The same applies to not respecting your language of choice.

But the absolute worst is American companies (it's always American services, and not just because of US dominance) manipulating content based on GeoIP and giving me a shitty localized version of their service for no legal or commercial reason.

It's infuriatingly patronizing.

I'd recommend you create a blog where you write interesting posts on different trends, analysis, etc. from all the data you're collecting. I'd be interested to know if current events drive the frequency of certain book recommendations in different forums. This will help bring people to the site, build links to improve SEO, etc. Also, make the email capture more prominent.
But opps you went over your license count by 1 when creating your user, so your next renewal you will pay a penalty for that admin user.

It is a Slack Group where people help each other to learn React. Primary it is aimed for people reading the book "The Road to learn React", but the community is growing beyond it. Learning something by helping others can be a great way to internalize your own learnings. That's why everyone is eager to help.
The problem is you’re not dealing with rational actors. A lot of this wine was somebody’s hobby and they would use it for personal consumption and sell to family only, or maybe to a local restaurant or two. No interest in selling to real businesses/distributors.

Is it really broken windows if you encourage people to avoid producing negative economic output? Making wine is a veeery labor and chemical intensive process.

Ha, I think it's a really good pick axe though. That is a good analogy for Daily Fantasy Sports though, where you do weekly games and tournaments ect to win real money. My model has some very useful features that might make it valuable there, but the sites take anywhere from 6-8% off the top, so yeah, on average when it comes to Daily Fantasy, selling pick axes certainly has a higher EV than actually playing yourself.
There's something to be said for seasonal niches. It seems to me there's a bit of a reset in terms of search rankings that can mitigate the authority bigger players may have. Do you find that be true?
jack uses analog input, standard headphones are "dumb" device that reproduces any signal it receives. with digital interfaces on the other hand the devices are no longer "dumb" and extra "features" can be implemented, like HDCP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-bandwidth_Digital_Content...
The thing about the immigration debate in this country is that neither side can agree on the severity of entering our country without papers. You just compared it to robbing a bank. I think of it more like jaywalking.

The thought that a child would be taken from their home and put on a one way plane to a place they've never been before because their parents are guilty of jaywalking seems dystopian.
surprisingly not that long. We started this in Feb without any expectation that it would work at all, and after 2-3 weeks of playing with things they were working great.

Look at EES and EEP
"Interference" and "glitchiness" are kind of hand-wavy, and so is the "known issue" of BT audio quality. If you could link some "hard facts" about those, I'd love to read on.

Yes, you can experience wireless issues with poorly designed devices. But I know people that use BT audio as their primary ways to listen to music, and I'm personally building such a device for my car. I can send audio to it from further than I am willing to test, and I haven't yet had my audio interrupted.

As far as I can tell, as long as you're making sure you're using the highest quality standard possible, you'll receive a decent experience.

Where the experience breaks down, as I mentioned earlier, is the lack of high-fidelity sound reproduction options due to the size of the decoding circuitry and battery pack. BT audio headphones, though usable, are generally not great. If you have something externally powered (e.g. my car) it is fine... but that use case occurs less often.

Perhaps your devices only support the SBC codec, mandatory for inclusion in the standard. Or perhaps your devices have chosen to communicate over the hands-free profile instead of A2DP, which is another issue I've had.

I don't claim that 3.5mm jacks will be outdated, and I certainly don't think so either. I just think that BT audio is "good enough" strictly in terms of fidelity, and that other factors confound its inclusion in high-fidelity headphones.
Part of this comes from executives being taught to think of employees as expenses rather than assets. "Less money to employees = more money to me." This attitude is part of a larger systemic problem: A great deal of American business is now more about gaming the system than about building products. Take the VC money, build nothing, and cash out. Sell customer data to ad networks and cash out. SEO the hell out of that thing and cash out. Cook the books and cash out. Sell bundles of subprime loans and cash out. Buy your competitor, harvest its assets, kill their product, and cash out. Pump and dump and disappear. "What, you still have seed corn? Eat that shit!"

It's all just bullshit short-term arbitrage. It has nothing to do with adding value, which is what sustainable business is based on. It works well in an environment where such behavior is not punished, and where business executives are rewarded for "maximum profit in minimum time" and penalized for long-term thinking. It's certainly not sustainable, but alas, that's exactly where we are in the U.S.
It is possible to have both. There is no contradiction between those those two types of skills.
Well done! A few years ago I assumed it was way too late to get into selling Shopify apps. I am glad to have been proved wrong, and you have me re-evaluating some newer marketplaces I presume to be mature.
Microservice Principles: Smart Endpoints and Dumb Pipes
It was definitely worse when it was all flash. At least JavaScript has ubiquitous debug tooling.

VPAID 3.0 (or is it 4.0?) has some proposals to fix this. It makes fraud analysis a first class citizen of the spec, sort of like companion ads. This allows them to be downloaded separately, as well as cached.

These private health insurances are hoax. The only thing they cover is a consultation and high five with the doctor, for anything serious involving a stay in the hospital one fallbacks into public health insurance.
Location: Orlando, FL

Remote: Yes, strongly preferred but not necessarily a hard requirement. Remote worker most of my career. Would need a very compelling offer to go non-remote.

Willing to relocate: Only to SLC or KCK.

Technologies: Most recently: Haxe, JavaScript, OpenFL. Many others; see resume.

Résumé/CV: http://jeffcook.io

Email: hn@jeffcook.io

-----

Lots of experience, HN user for 3,330 days. Somehow haven't been banned yet despite frequent affronts to SV orthodoxy. Patches have been accepted upstream into the Linux kernel, WINE, and other prominent projects. See jeffcook.io for further discussion.

Casually looking, just putting feelers out. Frankly more interested in an investment/partnership arrangement (that includes a salary >= $150k + benefits; I'm supporting a large family and cannot entertain equity-only offers) than traditional employment, but may accept a good full-time position. Entrepreneurial with leadership experience.

Highlighted skills, used extensively in the last few months:

* Haxe and OpenFL. Working on a large project that uses this now. I believe it will be the biggest OpenFL project to date, and has involved a lot of hacking on the OpenFL internals.

* Sane Docker/Kubernetes, especially when not to use it.

* Sysadmin, database management, monitoring, KVM, etc.

* node.js scripting and applications.

* Non-production experimentation with Dart scripting and applications.

My main side project right now is distributed, anonymous message delivery system that runs in-browser over WebRTC. Similar vein of dat, camlistore, scuttlebutt. Still early stages, no working demo. Would be interested in discussing funding, though I currently do not have a real business plan.
Do you happen to have a good source on this experiment being part of MK Ultra? As far as I can tell this article doesn't mention MK Ultra at all, and I can't seem to find much else that explicitly says this experiment was part of MK Ultra.
For what it's worth, it's TSX (hardware transactional memory), not TXT (secure firmware). It's a very niche feature, compared to hyperthreading.
Some people put too much faith in reason.

When I read his manifesto it felt to me like it was logically airtight. If you agree with his premises, I think it's difficult to reject his conclusions using reason.

But of course we have much more than reason to rely on when making decisions, and it's easy to reject his conclusions if you use your whole mind, some might say your heart.

I think it's tragic that people, both individually and at the social level, are so good at reasoning ourselves into situations that we just can't live with.
The best thing about side project is that I may be wonderfully inefficient, so I can do it the way I want and enjoy the way. Even mentioning the word 'deadline' or 'planing' or 'efficient' or 'customer' in the same sentence as 'side project' is contradictory to me.

E.g., I love to program in assembler. Preferably 8 bit SoCs like AVR. The point is not to finish the project fast or even at all by using a more efficient language that may have libraries for everything, but to enjoy programming in 8 bit assembler. Reading the absurdly detailed manuals. Comparing chips at register level. Obviously, I need to write my own libraries/frameworks, because, I want to do that myself, in assembler.

Even if not using assembly, I may still want to write the library myself in order to, well, do that.

Wood workers often seem to have similar ideas about side projects, like when they build a project without power tools, without glue, from old scrap wood, etc., just because. But for some reason, I seldom meet hackers who understand the fun in doing stuff from scratch.
Very nice! Spread out over many customers that sounds like a pretty stable revenue stream.

Curious though how much support do you provide for $19/mo? Do you get a lot of support requests / emails?

At that price point one customer interaction is more than most tech workers rate for the time spent interacting with it.
Is there more to the story? Started with -200k and now sit on +300k with a 125k salary? House? Came into a windfall of cash in addition to salary?
You understand that having a jack doesn't mean you can't use wireless, right? Glad you like wireless, but (obviously), not everyone feels the way you do.
> what language a country speaks

It starts with assuming country equals language. And even when they figure that out, they still use GeoIP. Try using various online services in the Brussels region for a laugh.

It's ridiculous that internally operating corporations like Google or Facebook still haven't figured that shit out.
