Geckoboard | Golang, SRE, QA roles | ONSITE | London, UK | Full Time with flexible working

Geckoboard is used by thousands of businesses 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. We're doing some incredibly interesting work to make that even easier for them and are looking for curious problem solvers to help us!

We have recently completely rebuilt the way we bring data into Geckoboard with a new integrations platform written entirely in Go. We have some ambitious plans and interesting projects to work on, so we're looking for some Go Engineers to join our team:

Backend Go Developer - https://www.geckoboard.com/careers/#op-216733-backend-golang...

Senior Backend Go Developer - https://www.geckoboard.com/careers/#op-218010-senior-backend...

We're also looking for a Go Developer on a three month contract basis from the beginning of January. If you'd like to find out more, please email Monique at people@geckoboard.com

QA Tester - https://www.geckoboard.com/careers/#op-217305-qa-tester

Infrastructure Engineer - https://www.geckoboard.com/careers/#op-217246-infrastructure...

In terms of our stack, the Geckoboard application is structured as a collection of Ruby and Go microservices on the back-end, and a rich client-side JavaScript application on the front-end. All our services run on AWS.

Interested? Get in touch with Monique (people@geckoboard.com) or apply directly here: https://www.geckoboard.com/careers/
How many devices can you actually control with a clapper? Seems like it would only be enough if all you want is switch on/off a light bulb.

But with smart home devices, you have much finer control over what device you want to control. How can someone do something fine grained like "Switch on external lights" or "show me who is at the door (Alexa does this)" with a clapper?
What is up with Apple lately? Could not believe they were not able to get the Homepod out for the holiday. The Mac root security issue getting the door is insane.
The Bolt is based off the Trax/Encore platform, with modifications for better efficiency.
Isn't the first thing you do to install GNU coreutils? Busybox is neat, but unusable for day to day usage, IMO.
Mashgin (YC W15) | ML/CV, Full-Stack, Frontend | Mountain View | ONSITE, VISA | Full-time

Mashgin makes self-checkout kiosks that use Computer Vision, 3D Reconstruction and Deep Learning to scan many items at once without needing barcodes, reducing checkout time by up to 10x. We are live across the United States and expanding quickly.

Our founding team consists of ex Facebook, Microsoft, Bell Labs engineers with vast experience in CV and AI. We’re all hackers at heart and love to build and iterate on interesting projects.

Looking for engineering roles across the spectrum: from frontend to deep learning. Check out or jobs page here: http://mashgin.com/jobs.html

Why Mashgin?

* Get to work on a working, real-world application of deep learning. Our product is currently used by thousands of people a day and will continue to grow exponentially. People already love what we do, but we're only at the very beginning of the improvement curve... 95% of our work remains to be done.

* We have a small but growing team, where every engineer can and will have a huge impact.

* We're in a big, but mostly hidden industry with a huge amount of potential. There has been little innovation in decades and we’re completely recreating the experience.
Only on the outside. On the inside, excluding the touchscreen the interior of the Tesla 3 (and really, all Teslas excluding the original Roadsters) has more in common with a Yaris or 90s era Kia then a Model 3 or entry-level Lexus.

For people with multiple cars, it's not much of an issue for things to be just a little off (the plastic, the handles, the seat fabrics, steering wheel alignment, shavings on the dash board, etc.)--the Tesla is a show car and treated as such. For people who would use the Model 3 as their primary vehicle, the experience is subpar for its current price point compared to all other vehicles in its class (entry level luxury vehicles) or engine type (other EVs) and this is one of the difficulties Tesla will run into once it actually starts public shipments of the car. There's enough competition out there now that being an electric isn't enough to justify a premium price; the car has to have premium interiors as well.

You would be working mostly with me(milep, long time HN lurker). I'm always interested in improving my coding skills and I'm looking for a sparring partner. I'll try to use functional coding style whenever I can. Clojure would be fun but we use RoR for pragmatic reasons.

Ask HN: Better Book Marketing Tools?

What is the Internet Mob capable of?

Go ask the person that Redditers highlighted as "guilty" in the Boston bombing. He didn't do anything wrong, and ended up dead as a result.

Its also why Reddit now does livethreads to control Doxxing and finger pointing.
Yeah, which is why Java felt like fresh air compared with those portability hurdles.

Even without house rules, it depends on the way people play. In my family, monopoly is played in a very anti-social way, where the main goal seems to be preventing other's victory or advantage.

The strategy everybody follows is basically "buy everything you can, and decline all bad trades". Buy everything, of course, to prevent others from making full property groups. Since there is no such thing as an equal trade, no trades are made.

As you can imagine, since nobody has full property groups, the game takes forever, it's terribly boring, and pretty much boils down to luck.
Yes: just spit out opcodes.
For interest's sake, the EDSAC reconstruction[1] will be using taut-wire delay lines in a similar way as a replacement for the original mercury-filled tubes. We very nearly revisited the delay line "juggling" memory a while back when it seemed that magnetic bubble memory might be the solution to all of our woes. (Then flash happened.)

ANTLR is really only good for the Java ecosystem. The quality of the generated C/C++ code is low and it has a large number of dependencies. C++ development also lagged pretty far behind Java when ANTLR 4 was released.

I don't know of any "real" language written in C or C++ that uses ANTLR.

The state of the art for production languages in C/C++ is either hand-written parsers or yacc/bison. I've never even seen flex used, and I've looked at over 20 lexer/parser implementations for "real" languages.

What do they mean "no one's talking about it"? That's just clickbait, it's been talked about widely that seed funding has been declining, but Series A and later rounds are staying about the same.

Just a google search for "decline in seed funding 2017" shows how many big outlets have had stories this year on it.

Yes, at a loss. Do you actually think GM who are "so good at manufacturing" will sell more EVs than Tesla will sell Model 3's by the end of next year? I won't even include Model S and X, to make it more fair.

Sourceress | Senior Python Engineer Lead | San Francisco | Full-time | Onsite | https://www.sourceress.com/jobs

We're a (human-assisted) AI sourcing platform that delivers great results (customer quote: "I'd have a panic attack if you guys stopped existing"). Our mission is to fundamentally change the way that human effort is allocated.

We just raised $3.5M from OpenAI researchers and Lightspeed [1] at one of the highest ever valuations coming out of YC. One founder previously sold a company and is a published machine learning researcher; the other was Chief of Staff at Dropbox, and our team of 9 hails from other great organizations as well (Google, MIT, McKinsey, etc)

We have a real business, customers, revenue, crazy growth, funding--and a ton of work to do. We have machine learning problems that are core to our product, data infrastructure and scaling problems to tackle, and interesting product work to be done as well.

Our stack: Python (Django, nltk), AWS (S3, PostgreSQL), Javascript (React)

Qualifications:

- Do you love mentoring other developers and helping them grow?

- Are you an incredibly prolific programmer who knows both the value of shipping quickly and the value of software craftsmanship, and has the judgment to know when to apply each?

- Do you want to grow into a great engineering leader? We strongly value personal growth, and pay for coaching for all employees.

- Are you empathetic, highly systematic, intensely driven, and intellectually curious? See our values here [2]

Honestly, I couldn't tell whether this was a satire. Does anyone know the author's intent: are they genuinely excited about the stuff in this post or are they horrified?

My mind was so blown after day 1 of this advent calendar that I think reading the remaining 24 days might be hazardous to my sanity.
I know that ICOs get a lot of negativity on HN. Sure, a lot of them deserve it, but not all ICOs are started for the sole purpose of raising cash that they otherwise wouldn't be able to raise. ICOs as a form of funding are equally likely to be manipulated as traditional VC funding following trends and hypes (one might argue that they ICO investors are even more gullible to dishonest founders since they are generally less experienced than VCs).

However, certain ICOs are actually bringing products to market that would never otherwise exist. Some of them are trying to fundamentally change how some industries operate. Others are fundamentally improving blockchain technology. But in order for their products to operate they need enough stakeholders to make them viable. And this is where ICOs come in. There were many of us who believed that Tezos was one of those ICOs. Their product could still be greatly useful if executed correctly. Given that they have raised more money then they could ever have hoped for, it is incredible that they are being silly enough to embark on a public dispute between themselves and get involved in lawsuits with their investors. Just getting back to work and executing their initial vision (which they can do many times over with that amount of funds) seems like an obvious thing to do. They would lose a lot more money (or worse) by continuing on this trajectory. It is incredible how short-term greedy they seem from the outside.

Or maybe I am missing some information that would explain this stupidity. I would love to know more.

There's also a reasonable chance that if you're interested in compiler design and making an architecture you're the sort of person who would enjoy learning a hardware description language. With a cheap FPGA dev board you could then implement your toy architecture and run your compiled programs on that. This adds substantial difficulty to the project, but is damn fun.
