Symbiont.io | Software Engineer | New York, NY | Full Time | ONSITE | https://symbiont.io

Symbiont is a New York-based financial technology company building new kinds of computer networks to connect independent financial institutions together and allow them to share business logic and data in real time. This involves developing a distributed system which is also decentralized, and which allows for the creation of smart contracts, self-executing cryptographic agreements among counterparties. To do so, we’re using a lot of techniques in blockchain technology, as well as those from traditional distributed systems, programming language design and cryptography.

We are currently hiring product engineers, who are responsible for building the specific products using our more general-purpose blockchain platform. This involves working across the entire stack, designing and implementing UIs, middleware services and smart contract modules written in our internal domain-specific language. It is critical this code be correct, so a significant focus on automated testing and validation is expected.

Please send resumes to hiring@symbiont.io.
Is it because of English Christianity spread widely or is it vice versa?
If I remember correctly, people at the time were suggesting Apple simply had their own, private version of the popup which indicated it's authenticity via colors or a badge. I honestly feel like that might have been good enough, especially if you change the other, public popup dialogs to warn not to enter password information.
Good point, but on the other hand people die because drugs that should be inexpensive cost too much.
This makes me sad. I love Linux Journal.
tl;dr;

Basically he’s trying to find something analogous to ‘action’ in physics, which when minimized in the space of possible solutions, will let him find rational solutions to Diophantine equations.
I did not mean to imply that it was a perl6-specific hazard, and in fact I lost interest because I can already do these kinds of hacks in languages that are decades old. The downsides are exactly the same, and the advice (“don’t do that in real code”) is exactly the same. In 2017, “look how dynamic things are” is not a differentiator... that part of language design space is pretty mature by now.
I don't think the police would appreciate it if you started firing off guns in the middle of the city. It would be a far better use of everyone's time and money to just set traps. Are you thinking people would pitch tents and wait for rats to show up so they could shoot them? That seems harder than setting traps and checking in a day later.
Well, I got that far, I had a fully bootstrapped distro and was building a whole lot of packages. I just had to compromise on too many of my goals and I felt the distro eventually was no longer distinguished enough from its peers to be worth continuing.
I imagine city driving in start/stop traffic to be a perfect use case for EVs. Regenerative braking will recoup lots of battery through out the day, and you don't lose much to drag at highway speeds.

I'd be interested in knowing what different pharmacies ultimately charge the various insurance companies for generic drugs.

During a job switch I had a couple of weeks were I was covered, but before I got my new insurance ids I paid full price (then reimbursed in full afterward.)

A very common generic drug I had a $10 co-pay for, was $139 without insurance at the chain pharmacy I went to. Is this ultimately what the insurance company is paying out?

I was shocked. I thought the generic would be mass-produced and only cost, maybe, a few dollars over my $10 co-pay. I suppose of that $139 dollars, only a tiny fraction was the actual drug price; the rest goes into salaries for the pharmacists, business costs and profit. It still seemed pretty outrageous to me.

If a company like Amazon ends up only charging back to the insurance company a lot less, on a mass scale, it would hopefully reduce overall insurance costs.
_wow_.....my name was used against NN. that being said, the event was reported from a different address, but after investigation the address does not actually exist from which it was reported... so my initial thought on it simply being another person have changed.

"Hashem vayikach" is gibberish in modern Hebrew though. You'd have to change it to something like "lakach".

In modern Hebrew it would be something like "Hashem lakach ha'adam v'sam oto b'gan Eden..."

The grammar required for "vayikach" to make sense is missing in modern Hebrew, which I remember being confusing even in elementary school. This isn't a niche case since a huge fraction of the Bible uses verbs like "vayomer".

Also, the end of the sentence, while comprehensible, still feels very archaic.

I don't think biblical Hebrew qualifies as an entirely separate language but I do think even beginners almost immediately sense the differences. It's like comparing modern English with Shakespearean English.

Lastly, a note on pronunciation: the language used to span a huge phonemic range (roughly the same as Arabic), but we ended up dropping like a third of the sounds. So, sure, modern pronunciation of biblical Hebrew sounds like modern Hebrew. But that's kinda tautological.

Absolutely true ... which is why you have to work very very hard to prevent the rot from setting in in the first place. Setting the right organisational culture is such an important step in avoiding this corrosive and unhealthy situation.

Ah, thanks, makes good sense. I think of "write a new experimental functional language and reuse part of the Rust compiler" as somewhat "academic", but matter of taste. But for production parsers, I think I'd try to avoid using the stack or limit the stack, anyway.
In my experience I hear a lot more of my surroundings while biking even with earbuds than in a car with the windows rolled up. I eventually stopped because I was worried about long-term damage on my hearing from needing to turn it up so loud.

Pew Report: Public Comments to the FCC Contain Many Inaccuracies and Duplicates
Hyperbolic comparisons like these are very off-putting for me too, but I see them everywhere, presumably "for effect". The effect in this instance is that I stopped reading.
I taught a "computers 101" lab with several adult learners many years ago, and I had one student walk out when I told him I simply couldn't teach him exactly what to do in every situation.

I felt badly, and I'd probably with 20 more years under my belt be able to help a bit more now, but it's still the same quandry: you can't expect to use any computer/mobile device without experimenting to figure out the way to do something, and there are a lot of adults (I assume some children too) who aren't willing to do the wrong thing.
Is this my only hobby? Nope. But, would you write code if you had a billion dollars? I would. Mind you, I wouldn't go into a big corporate shop Monday-Friday 9:00am-5:00pm and write random crap that some middle manager thinks he needs by the end of the month, but I'd gladly write code. At it's finest, it's an art.

Let's use photographers as another example. Any good photographer would still spend a lot of their time in photography even if they had a billion dollars. They probably wouldn't take the exact same wedding photos every Weekend though.

You really can't be a REALLY good programmer without side projects where you get to play around with new technologies, with no deadlines, no managers, no infrastructure, just exploration.

I know there's lots of people who are flooding into this field now just because it pays well, which is understandable, and they might even do a good job and even take pride in their work, but if it's just a job then they aren't ever going to do as well as someone who actually wants to do this for fun. And working with people who are doing it as "just a job" kind of sucks the joy out of the work itself.
If this tool is down (edit: looks like it's not down, it's just slow), you could always check http://comcastroturf.com
(but it looks like both tools depend on the FCC website, appearance is it's actually the FCC's search that is slow.)

I have no idea if these two tools do exactly the same thing, but I was able to identify about 60% of my family whose names were used (all NY residents, but the addresses that fake comments were submitted under were all from other states.)

And yes, it's possible that people with the same name as my family members were actually at those addresses in those other states, but it's extremely unlikely that they all decided to have the same opinion nearly word for word, all clustered on the same couple of days in May and July of this year.
Some populations of city mice are ridiculously hardy. They can eat warfarin-laced poison food like it's candy.

It's like the roaches in some Washington D.C. buildings that are immune to virtually every chemical used for pest control. It's so bad that chemical companies test new compounds on those populations first. That's what decades of selective breeding has brought about.
I collect old calculators myself! These old machines are really gorgeous things, usually handmade (at least until the early 70s.) If anyone on HN has questions, I'd be happy to answer.

> But more important than the command itself is the manual for the command. Whether you expect to use this command, you should read its manual.

Let's look at the manual for `git rev-parse` (https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rev-parse):

> git-rev-parse - Pick out and massage parameters

This is one of my big problems with git. It seems like the documentation is written for the people that already know the things in the documentation. Who on earth learns anything from "pick out and massage parameters"?

Then, the full description:

> Many Git porcelainish commands take mixture of flags (i.e. parameters that begin with a dash -) and parameters meant for the underlying `git rev-list` command they use internally and flags and parameters for the other commands they use downstream of `git rev-list`. This command is used to distinguish between them.

This, too, is not helpful. It's just overdetailed and underinformative.
That is a very scary future. I too had comments under my name in support of net neutrality in addition to the real comment I filed. Hopefully the Equifax leak (which really seems to have blown over quickly) leads to a new identification system so public comments can actually be verified as coming from real citizens.

I think at this point they've been doing Advent calendars for Perl 6 for enough years that they are reaching some more esoteric features.

A year or two ago I decided that Perl 6 was too far along the spectrum of complexity and required front-loading of learning the language for my tastes. I program Perl 5 for a living, and love it, but I feel Perl 6 has too much stuff built in for be to devote the time to actually learning it all usefully enough to want to do anything professional in it, or want to use anything professionally written in it that I might have to poke in the code. And this comes as someone that followed development since the Parrot days, and actually read through all the Synopsis documents almost a decade ago.

That said, it's likely a phenomenally fun language to play with (it's even fun to read about development of, and novel solution in, IMO). I've seen really clever solutions using the interesting features it has (and it has a LOT of interesting features). Built in grammars, for example, are something I think is awesome, and simplify a lot of parsing code to the point of triviality.

There's a spectrum of features, which at some point starts mapping fairly evenly to TIMTOWTDI. On this spectrum I find Python too stifling, Perl 5 a happy medium, and Perl 6 providing way too much freedom (at least for work related things).
Yes you use the brakes for quick stops.

You can coast, to do that you just keep your foot down enough to keep the regeneration from kicking in.

There's no free lunch. You don't recover meaningful energy by regenerating vs. coasting over the same distance. What you do recover is energy that would otherwise go into the air as heat in braking situations.

Spanish native speaker here. The influence from Arabic is mostly in vocabulary, about 10% of our words have Arabic roots. However, Arabic had negligible influence in structure and grammar. Spanish is your standard Latin derived language.
"The unprecedented regulatory power the Obama Administration imposed on the internet is smothering innovation" ... ?

My experience is the same. Most of my family apparently decided to take up fake residences in other states and coincidentally have the same opinions, word for word, on a few days in May and July of this year.
I'd saying having the yearly GDP of Bulgaria as AUM is still pretty impressive. And the point is more to contextualize. It's hard when you get past the millions to understand exactly how much we're talking about.
I don't think so, but Waymo started testing in Michigan. https://techcrunch.com/2017/10/26/waymo-to-start-testing-its...
Whats the biggest code base you've worked with?
GDP is the amount of value created by the economy in a year, and it is measured in USD so there is no unit error.

A better comparison would he the Hour Record in Cycling (how far can you cycle in an hour). It's determined by speed, obviously, but the value is still a distance.
I've driven both the Bolt and the Volt on electric power. The Volt is far more pleasant to drive, the Bolt's turning and acceleration feel weird. I also think the volt looks better (though not good). Other than that, Bolt seems great.

Hopefully, GM will fix it on the next version.
I am not sure what are you saying here. I am a native Russian speaker and I can assure you that words in Russian have that many different forms. You can verify it from any other source. Your example lists 4 forms for the noun and 8 forms for the verb, which is less than these words could take in Russian, so yeah, it's a nonsense to count the number of forms a word can take by multiplying it by the number of forms another word could take.
