Berlin, Germany | The ADEX GmbH (DMP, Big Data)| Senior DevOps Engineer | ONSITE | https://short.sg/j/1177207

At ADEX we are working on a real Big Data scale (we are talking about processing 400 TB of raw data in real time). We analyze billions of requests daily using one of the biggest Big Data clusters in Europe (110 local servers). We love automation, so we use tools like Puppet and Cloudera on a daily basis, and always try to minimize the manual interactions. Some of the new technologies that we are using right now are Spark, Hadoop, Kafka and Docker.

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer who will take up the challenge of updating our architecture to continue improving our real time functionality. As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will help the team with maintaining, growing and optimizing the existing fleet of Linux servers. Furthermore, you will architect the infrastructure behind our application’s backend, creating scalable services, frameworks and storage solutions in PHP, Java, Python and Go. You will be challenged with the amounts of data/requests we manage to process daily, and upcoming projects which will put even more pressure and require new approaches and infrastructure stacks in the future.

Apart from the challenges mentioned above, there are a few things we can offer apart from those listed in the job description. From the company side, you can expect a lot of freedom, trust and flexibility. From our DevOps wizard you can expect professionalism and reliability from eye to eye level. He is a person who is really motivated, committed and keeps up with new technologies by visiting meet ups and conferences.

We are around 30 people in the company, half of the team works on tech positions. 15 employees are male, the other 15 female. The ADEX is based in Berlin with a small customer support team based in Hamburg. As we are a small company, we have many 1-person teams and we would like to have at least two people working on the same team, that's why the position is open. We are pretty flexible and chilled, and very tech- and product-focused. We work in a cutting-edge industry, so we encourage our employees to try new technologies, go to meet-ups, workshops and conferences. We are not afraid of trying and failing because we strongly believe in learning from mistakes.

BentoBox | Senior Front-End Engineer | New York, NY | www.getbento.co | Full Time

We make a platform to help restaurants with their digital presence.

We're looking for an experienced front end developer (https://angel.co/bentobox/jobs/281979-senior-front-end-engin...).

This is how I described the position in an email to a contact:

We're looking for an expert front end developer who might hopefully also be a talented designer, and can help make our restaurant templates awesome. The ideal person has experience making really great wordpress/shopify/squarespace themes and knows about the challenges involved in making themes/templates for CMSes.
Suggestion: Take a look at the contrast on your header text. The dark lettering is extremely difficult to read. It looks like the text explains the entire company's premise... so I'd think you'd want it as readable as possible.
Ahh I see, these are some resources that should help you.

The original Neural Style Transfer paper should help you understand the loss functions involved: https://arxiv.org/abs/1508.06576

The paper introducing Real-Time Style Transfer is basically the algorithm used here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1603.08155

>"It is already interesting and surprising that the universe contains so many intermediate mass black holes. This was unexpected, and our continued observation of them means that they are unlikely to be a statistical fluke."

Interesting. Can you put a number on how unexpected this was? What is the probability "the universe contains so many intermediate mass black holes" independent of the LIGO data?
No they didn't. They proved that one particular simulation method, not even an exact one you would ideally use for simulating a universe, is computationally infeasible in a universe similar to ours. Neither of those assumptions should be taken as universal, or rather multiversal. Maybe the simulation has more resources than we do (entirely reasonable, even from our perspective!), or meeting the simulators don't care much about how long it takes. Maybe they can fudge physics on those expensive cases, or maybe there's a better way to simulate them efficiently. At best, this damps down the infinitely recursive "we're almost certainly in a simulation" argument, but even then it's vulnerable to the fudging and better understanding/technique caveats.
Not only is it not feasible, it's downright invasive.

I like to reduce this to a German Tank problem: Let's say there are a few hundred hydrogen atoms being simulated in a supercomputer somewhere, and let's say that you are a hydrogen atom. You want to know: am I real one or a simulated one? Well, there are on the order of 10^78 real atoms in the universe, and a dozen or so simulated ones. So yeah, you're a real one.

In a more abstract sense, the number of degrees of freedom in any real universe is greater than the number of degrees of freedom in all the simulated universes it contains. So you're always more likely to be in a real universe.
Nimble Labs | Developer Internships | REMOTE (USA) | http://www.nimblelabs.com/ | Full Time

We are helping train people who'd like to become developers. Instead of spending $10,000 to $20,000 on a coding bootcamp, come work with us, work on real software projects and make money. While the pay rate is relatively low, compared to spending money and what you will learn it is a great opportunity for anyone wanting to break into software development.

We are looking for people with some aptitude for computers and programming, but not necessarily any experience.

You will be learning basic web development with Rails and Javascript (node.js and potentially Vue.js)

At this time we are only accepting interns from the USA. If interested, please contact me at harris at nimble labs dot com

>Tooling is another major argument.

vscode seems to figure out the types in javascript without any static typing.

>But it is great for refactoring

Searching for strings isn't that much worse. Also, when it comes to web development, you cross into the client-side and suddenly you can't refactor. So you can only refactor the server-side and end up with a mismatch.

>finding all references to a function or a property or navigating through the code at design time

You can do that without static typing in many cases as well.

>Basically all the features visual studio excels at for .net languages.

When I was working in c# on the server and javascript on the client, I really hated having to go back into c#.

>telling you through a drop down what other options are available from there

vscode seems to be able to figure this out most of the time as well.

I think static typing is necessary when you need performance because all of the fast languages are statically typed.

I think a lot of these things are about organisational complexity and making sure new and average programmers don't screw up the software. It is about large companies trying to manage their organisation, it isn't about the complexity of the code itself.

There are a ridiculous amount of tech companies that have used dynamic languages to go from nothing to the biggest companies in the world and only switched to static languages well and truly after that occurred.
Metaphysics is pointless nonsense.

Infinite Food | Hackers / Mathematicians / Operations Researchers / Mechanical Engineers / Applied Materials Scientists / Food Scientists and Technologists / Multilingual Multiplatform Mobile App Developers | Shenzhen | $neg + equity available | Full-time or REMOTE | http://8-food.com/

Current hiring challenge / intro problem set for mathematicians / operations researchers, if you like that sort of thing.

Work on what you want, within reason. Help define the company and take ownership of your chosen field.

Registered in Hong Kong, we are a small, mainland China based, international team in the mid prototyping phase, approaching prep-for-manufacturing on a novel series of distributed food service locations supporting automated food preparation and retail. You can look at them as scaled down factories, robotic chefs or one large distributed just-in-time custom food manufacturing system including the associated logistics network. Fresh ingredients and personalized customer orders in, tasty cooked food out.

We are in perfect unison with the largest trends in the sector (convenience, personalization, mobile ordering, commodification of last mile delivery), are already oversubscribed for our next investment round and have recently doubled down by moving to Shenzhen. We have great experience with China, less in manufacturing, lots in complex systems and emerging technology, and multiple successful exits globally.

Mandarin speakers well regarded, but Chinese knowledge is not required. Clear written technical communication in English is mandatory. Skills and experience first, qualifications a distant second. We respect execution.

Email in profile, please include 'Candidate: <Desired Job Title>' in subject. No recruiters.
Yeah far from finding a sweet spot, Go exists in some kind of type system ghetto, because its type system is so crippled users have to resort to code generation (go generate).

Neither Python nor Java programmers have to do that.

> If the complexity grew linearly with the number of particles being simulated, then doubling the number of partices would mean doubling the computing power required. If, however, the complexity grows on an exponential scale – where the amount of computing power has to double every time a single particle is added – then the task quickly becomes impossible.

But you only need to _actually_ simulate the universe on very few occasions (a few times every few billion years) on a very small scale. Otherwise, you only need to approximate...

The original research publication[1] only seems to determine the possibility of complete QMC simulations on classical computational resources. While this shows we can't fully simulate portions of certain quantum systems on classical resources, it doesn't necessarily prove that a simulation of our universe is impossible, given the possibility of different physics in some "meta universe."

1: http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/3/9/e1701758.full
The paper specifically uses a classical simulation. It does not claim that any physical phenomenon could not be simulated efficiently by a quantum computer.

This headline and article make an uninformed claim that is completely unsubstantiated by the paper.

Fast-moving magnetic particles could enable new form of data storage
It's a financially motivated decision. Banks have a high percentage of people who are tech illiterate. Many of these people don't use the password reset when they forget their password, they call tech support, which costs banks a lot of money. Banks realized they could reduce this call volume by making their passwords case insensitive and simply refund people if their accounts get breached.

Most banks also have a mandatory security question, which makes it marginally more difficult to get brute forced.

Exploit developers don't wait until the vulnerability is announced. Pretending a critical bug fix is really no big deal until after people patch only gives them more time to exploit, because nobody will upgrade until they're told it's urgent. If then.

reversible? or permanent brain function change?
This argument is underwhelming to me. Physicists found that simulating a few hundred electrons (using one particular method) would require more atoms than there are in the (known) universe. This is a good argument that we cannot simulate our own universe precisely, but it says nothing about the underlying nature of reality.

Consider if Pacman took some time to study physics. He analyzes Ghost behavior and realizes it would take more than 255 levels worth of data to describe it. Pacman concludes that he must not be in a simulation, because clearly there are only 255 levels in the world.

To illustrate how much human tastes can vary: I don't like sweet drinks (coca cola makes me gag for example), and the idea of liquid pixy stix sounds like torture. (Though I'm now curious as to whether pixy stix would dissolve in water or alcohol, thus eliminating the need for the wine!)

this assumes there even are hydrogen atoms in host universe?
And are we sure that the universe is not deterministic either way? How does that change anything in your day to day life?

Nihilism existed before any arguments about being in a simulation
This.

Not just, "who the hell uses this", but "where the hell is this defined" as well.
I am no expert, but it sounds to me like this headline is an oversimplification.

The abstract of the paper suggests that the authors intend to support the claim that "not all quantum systems can be simulated efficiently using classical computational resources". Essentially that it's impractical to simulate complex nondeterministic quantum behavior using deterministic algorithms.

But what about quantum computers? It would seem to me like their inherent nondeterministic behavior would be an ideal fit for simulating other nondeterministic quantum systems.

In any case, it doesn't sound like they found any real theoretical limitation, just a practical one.
