Jellyfish | Software Engineers (ML experience a plus) | Boston, MA | Full-Time | ONSITE

ABOUT JELLYFISH
Jellyfish is an small, early-stage venture-funded startup creating a platform that will change the way software development happens. We're looking for a full-stack engineer and a backend architect to join our 5-person founding team here in Boston, MA. At this time we aren't prepared to offer H1B/Visa sponsorship or remote work.

JOB DESCRIPTION
Currently, we are working closely with our customers to rapidly prototype, build, and refine the Jellyfish platform. We are using a Django stack (Python 3, Django, Postgres) hosted on AWS, so experience with these technologies is a plus. We are also seeking to augment the team with someone with substantial experience with toolkits like scikit-learn.

ABOUT YOU
Ideal candidates will have two or more years experience building software and a bachelor's degree in a computer-science-adjacent field. We will also consider equivalent experience in lieu of a degree. Familiarity with building and bringing software to market is a huge plus.
As we are an early-stage startup there is the standard caveat: we're working quite hard to quickly bring this to market, so there will be a non-zero amount of unpredictability. The flip side of that is, of course, the opportunity to join an early-stage startup working on an interesting idea.

TECH STACK
Python (Django, NumPy), PostgreSQL, AWS, Nginx

COMPENSATION
Competitive salary plus equity grant

If they read the mail, it doesn’t take much longer to reply a no with some copy/pasta. It is basic respect.
It happened just a few weeks ago with Shopify and the Citron Report.

The Citron Report's author often finds stocks that have gone up, places shorts, and then promotes the idea that these companies are scams with no fundamental value. He's made a considerable amount of money doing this.
This is a strong argument and I feel like it makes sense.

Doesn't it rely on the premise that "we" (as a society) are deciding what currency all of us will use? I think what you're saying is totally true, but as a single rational person, I'd rather store my savings in something that is not (by design) decreasing in value.

People could always theoretically do this with gold, but it's not quite the same since gold has its own risks (like it being lost or stolen), ongoing costs (to protect it), and is trickier to trade.

Bitcoin is still in its early phases and another cryptocurrency may surpass it at some point, but if we don't already, it's likely people will have increasingly easy access to currency that is algorithmically constrained (like Bitcoin). Won't people rationally flock to such currencies, and if that's the case, won't it be difficult to encourage spending / investment using a minorly inflationary currency?
I’d pay $200 a month for a professional dishwasher, but really I’d probably have to pay much more.
Think about why that is.

I see what you're getting at but that decision has little/nothing to do with Apple's stance on privacy.

* iMessage still uses end-to-end encryption for messages in China.

* iPhones sold in China still utilize Secure Enclave for privacy/encryption.

* Aggregate data still uses differential privacy in China.

The government made a request of them which did not compromise their user's security, and they obliged.

Compare that to when the US government requested backdoor access pass Secure Enclave and they absolutely denied that request.

I agree that it's unfortunate for Chinese users that their government is placing additional limits on the available software in that ecosystem (as well as other ecosystems, I'm sure). But so long as the government is not asking Apple to compromise its users privacy I don't see any strong relation to corroborate the idea: "privacy matters, unless it's in your fastest-growing market".

You're not really looking at an apples to apples comparison. The last generation of piston engine airliners (the only ones really comparable to the jets that replaced them) used massive turbocharged radial engines that were notoriously complex and unreliable because of all the power being squeezed out of them. Today the vast majority of "prop planes" used in commercial airlines are actually turboprops. Piston engines are basically relegated to small private planes.
Redash | Open Source UI/UX Designer | REMOTE

Redash is a BI tool for people who <3 SQL. We let you connect to your database(s), query your data, visualize and share it (dashboards, API, etc). Redash is fully open source [2] with a SaaS offering.

We're looking for someone to redesign the application. The goal is to create a style guide we can apply to the application. Preferably someone who is a "full stack" designer, i.e. can do both the design and also write CSS. Collaboration will be via GitHub and all the work will be open source. Great opportunity to explore how design/UX work in an open source project can be done.

This is a scoped project (paid of course), although we would love the person who takes this to be able to help us from time to time when we add new UI or when UX questions arise. Maybe in the future this can become a full time position.

Email arik at redash.io to apply.

Software Engineer | Scalable Press | San Francisco, CA / Indianapolis, IN| Salary range: $105k+ depending on experience + options | Onsite | No resume needed

Hey HN, Eric Zhang here, formerly YC W11, current CTO @ Scalable Press. I’m posting because we are bootstrapped and profitable, and we’re hiring software engineers. To give you an idea of what you’d do, one engineer on our team integrated with a large vendor of ours so we can run our own trucks to avoid UPS shipping costs.

Our stack is Node, React, and Mongo. Our team is currently 13 engineers.

Interested? Email me at ericzhang@scalablepress.com or apply through Lever: https://jobs.lever.co/scalablepress/ab35f3f1-952c-4bd5-b8aa-...

PS: We're also hiring engineering managers.
Really? From what I have heard, Google is even more grueling in interviews.
The purpose of HR departments is to avoid liabilities. The purpose of rejecting “bad fit” candidates is to avoid losing their job if someone who looks or acts odd ends up being a liability. “You should have know he’d burn the building down. He was weird. He had a nose piercing!” So they avoid hiring anybody with a characteristic that could be seen as a red flag in retrospect.

It’s a product of the corporate mentality.
No, it's justified. They earned that reputation.

The problem is the google isn't forthright about it's plans. They just let some products languish forever without any communication. If you're lucky (like a firebase user) you will get a giant code dump of new features after 18 months of radio silence. If you're unlucky (like a google app engine standard user) then maybe they will announce a shutdown. It could go either way - you will never know what's coming. Yes you will get time to migrate away, but you're not really treated like a partner.

At some point they said google code wasn't getting new features because they couldn't find anyone who wanted to work on it. WTF? That's what employees are for right? I cannot understand this company. Why waste peoples time with projects that are just rounding errors next to adwords.
"exactly once" is not possible, but you can do "at least once" and make the processing of the message idempotent or "de-duplicated". This is true of many messaging systems.

https://www.confluent.io/blog/exactly-once-semantics-are-pos...

> Exactly-once Semantics are Possible: Here’s How Kafka Does it

> Now, I know what some of you are thinking. Exactly-once delivery is impossible, it comes at too high a price to put it to practical use, or that I’m getting all this entirely wrong! You’re not alone in thinking that.

blah blah blah ... of course it's at-least-once, with the "idempotent producer" so only one resulting message is published back to another kafka stream. Big surprise.

Now many people think "kafka has exactly-once delivery, that's what I want, I don't want to have to deal with this at-least-once stuff" when really it's the same thing, and others have been doing idempotent operations of various kinds for years, and the user still has to figure out how to do their desired thing (which might not be sending one more kafka message) in a mostly idempotent way.
I'm not intimately familiar with this app, but I've used Google's version quite a few times. I don't think either really identifies the font much more than separating into a few different categories (e.g. serif vs sans). Not to mention, it struggles with more decorative typefaces.

That said, this tech has been around for years and I still think it's magic every time.

I would pay $50 for 30 minutes of the time of a webpack configuration expert. Or a similar amount for SAAS allowing me to select modules from a UI and chain them as desired.

I gave up on my desired configuration after spending 3-5+h in frustrated powerlessness.
Ehh, no. That's clearly a glitch in the Matrix.
This is fantastic. Reminds me of the apple //e days with a shell that was also a BASIC interpreter.

6 tips for placing your next data center
The yahoo weather app is great.
Last interview cycle I got 10 hours of homework total from three of my prospects.

It’s not that it’s 2 hours, or four. It’s that you’ve given two hours to twenty people and so have five other companies.
The individual rounds are not very lengthy. It's about getting more perspectives in short durations and consolidating the results.
That aligns pretty much with my conclusion that to make an useful object shell, I'd be essentially rewriting the whole userland and probably some kernel bits too (/proc and /sys etc). So basically building a completely new OS on top of Linux kernel. I wouldn't expect such project to be very popular..
SEEKING WORK - Victoria, BC or Remote

Citymapper | Android & iOS Mobile Engineers (all levels) | London | ONSITE, VISA

Citymapper is the local transit app for breezing around the world's most complicated cities. We do our own routing and interpretation of live & disruption data to give users the most complete picture of how to get where they're going, whether it's by bus, train, bike, cab, or all kinds of mix & match combinations.

And now, when we find gaps in the transit networks, we're running services ourselves to try and fill them; read about our Night Rider bus and Project Black Bus on Medium: https://medium.com/citymapper

So far, we've done a lot with a handful of mobile developers, but I'm hiring several more iOS & Android engineers this year to help build ambitious new features. (I wrote the original iOS app and now lead mobile engineering here.)

Please apply at https://citymapper.com/jobs/ or mail me at joe at citymapper dot com if you want to learn more. We take good people from all over—I'm a transplant from the US myself and enjoy London life a lot more than the Bay Area FWIW.

P.S. we're also hiring for data science & general backend work, we do a lot of heavy lifting on the backend in Python, Go, and C++
Qadre | London, GB | Full Time & Contract | On-Site (Chancery Lane)

http://qad.re - nick@qad.re

Open Positions:

- Python Developers (3+)

- Web Developers (2+)

We build underlying blockchain infrastructure that's not based on the hyped cryptocurrency code bases, but instead has been built from the ground up to integrate as a true horizontal layer that integrates well with the full tech stack.

We aren't necessarily looking for people who have worked in blockchain before, but just smart people who can get things done, and we can train you on the blockchain side of things.

You'll be mainly working on tools for others to build end products with, ranging from pharmaceuticals to finance to luxury goods to online gaming.

We're a quickly growing team, working with several other companies to migrate a lot of the shotgun-to-foot style ethereum smart contract prototypes to something more suited for the reliability and safety demands that the real world tends to require.

Must be okay with the fact we have an office puppy.

Having just gone through the setup process a few times, I concur. It is an excruciatingly bad entry to a powerful solution to front-end web development.
There are plenty of professions where someone has to "read a room/person/situation" before having a chance to interact with people. As an example, many types of consulting require someone to "take the pulse of a room" before directly interacting with any one person. To be sure, there's a price for being wrong, but there's also a reward for being right.
The Google weather app is easy to read and loads in <5 seconds on my OnePlus 5. Doesn't that app fit your requirements?
Oddly enough almost all of the people that spent time in the Soviet Union never saw it as a "dictatorship", but as the communist "CCCP".

Also oddly enough, all the students from grade school and on where indoctrinated into the communist mindset using communist texts and rhetoric.
Each round is relatively short. So may be more number of rounds, but not very long.
I think the term they meant to use was “idempotent”, but that doesn’t get attention the same way that claiming to violate the FLP result does.
I would pay about $10 for that too.
I would pay $20/month for a simple, easy to set up affiliate management service.

Seriously - there are literally hundreds of affiliate management services out there, I've looked at dozens of them, and none of them quite fit the following requirements:

- Simple setup
- Reasonably low cost
- Dashboard for affiliates to track clicks & signups

Most existing systems also wrap up some sort of customer referral widgety thing, which I don't need. Or, the websites are broken / look like they're from 2001.

ReferralCandy is probably the closest thing, but again, it's way more set up for "customer referrals" vs professional or semi-pro affiliates. The integration process is also super heavy.

We literally built our own affiliate management since everything that fit our requirements was so expensive. This seems like an obvious side-project for someone to knock out.
"I found out avoiding gluten and taking probiotics cured mine."

I've done keto and it worked for me, could have been the elimination of gluten in retrospect. Haven't tried the probiotics.
"We do have a growing number of people unable to find housing they can afford in the place they want to live, but that's not the same thing."

Correct - it is not the same thing at all.

Housing that you can easily afford in places that you would prefer to live (aesthetic, convenience, life-script, etc.) is a fantastic luxury that has no place in a discussion of "rights".
So, it's lag, basically?

I've recently started using TypeScript and VS Code properly and have really enjoyed it. The only niggle I've had so far has been around typing curryable functions, but I appreciate that's probably a tricky thing to cater for nicely (?)
I assume you use ReSharper? I have a 1M+ LOC C++ application that I work on regularly and have never had a performance issue. There was definitely slow down when I moved from VC6 to VS2005, but man, that was so long ago.

Ask HN: Service for proof-reading software-engineering texts
Is there a service/freelancer which offers text proof-reading/editing targeted at software-engineering topics (blogs, docs, etc)?

I have used a proof-reading at Fiverrr, but all offers were generic English proof-reading. The downside is that they don't understand the topic.

I would pay premium for high-quality editor like this.
