At Lottery.com we’re assembling a world-class team of brilliant minds, resourceful doers and creative problem-solvers with a ‘find a way or make a way’ attitude. Founded in 2015 and based in San Francisco, California, Lottery.com is creating the next generation of lottery ticket sales & ticket management systems.

ABOUT OUR ENGINEERING TEAM

Our engineering team powers our entire product, both for our users and internal operations team. Engineering at Lottery.com is divided into several squads, each on the smaller side at 5-6 engineers. We bias towards passionate engineers who bring experience, well reasoned opinions and a variety of perspectives to the table. We encourage honest debate and emphasize concrete, forward-thinking solutions. We operate on a weekly schedule, have regular internal demos/tech talks, and a weekly retrospective. We’re experienced and confident but have no ego, we’re open minded and constantly looking for ways to improving ourselves and our processes.

STACK

NodeJS, Heroku & AWS, RabbitMQ, MongoDB, Serverless, Microservices

RESPONSIBILITIES

Design and implement key components of our technical infrastructure, including services supporting payments, lottery results, user management, ticket facilitation and more.
Take ownership over mission-critical functionality that is consumed by our mobile, web and internal applications
Work as a team with your peers, collaborating on architecture, mentoring teammates and pushing our entire stack forwards.
Partner with sister squads, including frontend, growth and product teams on delivering a seamless experience across the board.
Stay up to date on the latest innovations in our industry and in our tech stack.
Help us push the boundaries on what a small team can produce and maintain with simple code and well thought out architecture.
The benefit of static typing isn't just reliability. Tooling is another major argument. Won't appeal to certain hardcore programmers who think that even notepad has too many features. But it is great for refactoring, finding all references to a function or a property or navigating through the code at design time. Basically all the features visual studio excels at for .net languages.

And I disagree with the barrier to entry argument. Static typing, by enabling rich tooling, helps a beginner (like it helped me) a lot more by giving live feedback on your code, telling you immediately where you have a problem and why, telling you through a drop down what other options are available from there, etc. Basically makes the language way more self-discoverable than having to RTFM to figure out what you can do on a class.
Is there a captivating set of advantages or other reason to use ColdFusion compared to any of the more common languages today?1 I'd love to play with this and learn something new if it brings something interesting and different to the table.

Hmm, 1981. Neuroscience has evolved considerably over the last 35 years. Is it still worth reading it now, over more modern texts?
It is currently VERY slow since there are a lot of non-optimized (non-GPU) calls being made. Once those are implemented in deeplearn.JS, things should run much faster. In fact, one of the creators of deeplearn.JS says it might be feasible to do this realtime in a webcam (although not at 60FPS).

This was a super quick PoC demo I hacked together in a week on a very new library. :)

One of my favorite parts of Powershell is optional typing. Variables are a generic "Object" type by default, which can hold anything from a string to array to "Amazon.AWS.Model.EC2.Tag" or other custom types.

Or, type can be specified when setting the variable:

[String]$myString = "Hello World!"

This would generate a type error:

[Int]$myString = "Hello World!"

Often, typed and untyped variables will sit together:

[Int]$EmployeeID,[String]$FullName,$Address = $Input -split ","

Venter led the team to sequence the first genome of a free-living organism. Before Venter left NIH to start Celera, the Human Genome Project was entirely focused on making long, pre-aligned reads. It wasn't until Celera started embarrassing the NIH effort that shotgun sequencing was taken up in earnest. Later, his idea of then taking shotgun sequencing and applying it to whatever DNA you could find floating in the Sargasso Sea or any random teaspoon of dirt literally opened a whole new world of evolutionary biology. Finally, his more recent work on creating a fully synthetic organism is continuing to push forward the bleeding edge of biotechnology by laying a foundation all of humanity is sure to build on for decades to come.

But that one time he told investors that he'd pay for his research by patenting gene sequences (something he never actually, AFAIK, did do), and all his accomplishments may as well be nothing in the eyes of some.

Geckoboard | Ruby Back-End Developer | ONSITE | London UK

We’re looking for a full-time Ruby Developer to work on our back-end microservices. Geckoboard's view layer is handled by client-side JavaScript, so all our Ruby apps are APIs. Our microservice architecture has evolved over the years and we're looking for a pragmatic Rubyist who will apply best practices to the system as a whole.

Thousands of businesses use Geckoboard to build TV Dashboards that help drive growth and focus teams, by taking the complexity out of connecting their data and understanding it at a glance.

The role involves both greenfield work to develop new features, as well as the ability to rethink and re-architect our existing systems. As our understanding of micro-services has changed over time, we've discovered patterns and practices for building scalable and resilient services, so even if you've not worked with micro-services before, you'll be able to hit the ground running.

Oh, and did I mention that we have a 5* and 100% approval rate on Glassdoor?

(I did not downvote you, for the record) Don't feel bad for offending me. I have been getting easily triggered quite a bit lately due to the lack of objectiveness of a lot of the Spanish media (you could say the same about Catalan media). I shouldn't really talk in these threads to be honest.

It's true that Madrid is richer, but they also have, for example, the privilege of being the capital of Spain, which naturally helps with their economy.

Regarding the multiple votes, I could also add that other people tried[1] voting twice and weren't allowed. That is not to say that it wasn't possible at certain places, but I think that stating that less than 15% of the real population voted when the released data said that more than two million IDs were registered electronically is a bit ingenuous. Furthermore, TVE, the Spanish national TV channels, manipulated data and were really biased, as stated by multiple journalists working there[2].

JavaScript Template Literals Are Strictly Better Strings
It’s weird that the SE is now considered a small phone, because it’s the size of the 5s which used to be the big screen flagship.

I went with the SE myself because it’s the only normal sized phone that’s actually good. It seems these days all you can buy in the high end range are phablets.
PouchDB is the correct solution here.
Definitely not. I moved to Firefox when 57 was pushed to nightly, and I quickly realized that I have to keep Chrome around for any sort of web dev. Firefox's debugger is slow, it slows the page itself down significantly, and the layout is much less intuitive (to me).

In the Cloud, No One Can Hear Your OutOfMemoryError – Heroku
When I went from working at Apple to a language implementation group at another company, my views on Objective-C's duck typing + warnings for classes being useful and good was pretty heretical. It's nice to see other people agree with me.

Especially when it comes to GUI programming, I really don't care if a BlueButton.Click() got called instead of RedButton.Click().
