Underdog.io | New York, NY | https://underdog.io | Full-Time | ONSITE

Underdog.io is hiring a backend engineer. This role will have ownership over backend and DevOps on our Python (Flask) and JS-based stack. Underdog.io is a small, revenue-funded company where everyone’s contribution and decision-making is directly impactful. Ideal candidates have the skills and initiative to think deeply about everything from code quality to internal processes to the broader market in which we operate.

Specifically, we’re looking for someone with:

-- Server-side development experience in Flask or a similar framework (Django, Express, etc.)
> Client-side development experience, preferably using a JS library like React or AngularJS

-- A deep understanding of HTTP and RESTful API design

-- Familiarity with SQL databases (we use PostgreSQL) and general data modeling practices

-- Experience managing AWS environments and working with DevOps tools (Jenkins, Docker, etc.)

-- A desire to contribute to open-source projects

Historically, we’ve had a lot of success with contract-to-hire agreements as a way to test mutual fit before entering into a full-time arrangement; we’d prefer to fill this role in the same way.

From the article:

Any attempt to change or remove that password must pass through iOS, which would require to provide the old password first. Forgot the original password? There’s no going back, you’re stuck with what you have unless you are willing to factory reset the device and lose all data in the process.

Apparently, there was no password recovery. Now there is, and as a convenience it even skips the whole email step. This has implications for accessing the data present on the device, which is the whole point of the article.

Remesh | Software Engineer (full stack) | ONSITE usually | Full-time

We are a highly skilled team solving the fundamental problem of empowering a group of people to speak as one - by harnessing their collective intelligence. https://remesh.ai/

We're looking for passionate engineers who are interested in joining and growing with a small but mighty team that solves complex problems for real people.

Our stack consists of Elixir/Erlang and Phoenix, Python and Tensorflow, JavaScript and AngularJS, and PostgreSQL, all running on Google Cloud Platform. We're in the process of moving our frontend to React.

As an engineer at remesh, you'd join a small dev team you can help shape, and you will be given freedom to make tech decisions that have major impacts on our product every day. There's no micromanaging here, and we have a rapidly developing product.

Note: the job is onsite usually, but we could be remote for the right candidate. (I am remote, and an employee of Remesh.)

Feel free to reach out to hiring@remesh.ai, or ping me personally (nicholas@remesh.ai).

it's probably not the grammar. I am no expert in German, but if I were to take a bet it would have to do on how words are built (compound words) and that some of them are not straightforward. It may seem easy for you, but I am guessing it requires a shift in the way you think.

Isn't that exactly the case?
CCDs have a great response from IR to UV [1]. Since most consumer products are color cameras, the CCD pixels are covered in color filters, leaving only RGB sensitivity. But, you can easily order greyscale cameras without any filtering at all, usually used for machine/non-human vision (including cheap "night vision" black and white webcams).

Once you have a CCD that's wide-band, it's just a matter of shining monochrome light at your target. This can be done with a prism/diffraction grating and a bright white light source. The expense would come from the optics required to focus and guide everything in order to get something reasonably bright. Cheap plastic optics from Alibaba would probably be fine.

Or, if you just want specific wavelengths, LEDs come in a variety of fixed wavelengths from IR to UV. 365 to 750nm are easily available.

> Of all the known things in the universe which think, to remove their nerves is to destroy their capacity to think. I cannot see any reason to suppose thinking is not merely their activity.

You appear to be using circular reasoning. You assert that only biological-neuron entities are intelligent, use this assertion to create the set of intelligent entities, and then say that this is valid because to remove the neurons in those entities also removes their intelligence.

Indeed, it does — but then I get to assert that only silicon-logic-gate entities are intelligent, because their ability to process sensory inputs and translate this into signal outputs goes away when you remove their doped silicon wafers. It doesn’t help.
a) No they are persistent. I set the timeout to be something like 600 seconds. They are wanting to do a DNS query every time they are used for ???reasons????.

b) I think dnsmasq is a better answer. My DNS is already load balanced in k8s, but that is getting hit pretty hard.
>Looking at this from a national point of view is a mistake.

>In my mind, we're still dealing with the blowback resulting from the end of the victorian world order, which was gutted by the events of the First World War, of which the 1917 revolution was a part.

Asimov in the Foundation caught it very well - the more populous and dense the world and the more it is tightly interconnected ("globalization" of today) - the more tribalistic/nationalistic/xenophobic the internal communities at all levels get, even when the communities are like just 2 adjacent city blocks of the same city like in the case of the Empire's very densely populated capital city covering the whole planet with the differences between the city blocks viciously enforced and cultivated by the respective communities itselves.

You can see that process starting in Europe with Jan Hus on one side and the French nationalism rising during the 100 years war on the other side. The 100 year war started as some adjustment of power lines between high lords of practically the same language and culture, and ended as the national freedom movement. Next was Luther, i.e. the German nation forming and waking up. And so forth...

The WWI can be seen as earthquake style resolution of the tension (built-up during previous peaceful decades) between significantly grown up nationalistic movements and the old trans-ethnic empires power lines in Europe. And naturally most of those empires disappeared as result of the war.

The process didn't obviously stopped with WWI. It is naturally continues today and into tomorrow. The diversity celebrating all-accepting globalized society of our dreams is probably just a dream.

I straight up refuse to take part in HackerRank interviews anymore and think any self-respecting candidate for a given company should do the same. A company using this as an interviewing method is a sign that their hiring process is broken, and if they can't truly evaluate who they hire there's sure to be any number of other red flags you'll find.

Or maybe you cannot explain what happened on half of continent for 28 years with 5 sentences and state it was simple. Has Lenin been armed gangster, he wouldn't written a lot of books. Putin is less educated than was Lenin.

World can't come in terms with what was happening in russia it late 19-th and 20-th century. This is a shame, because we can learn a valuable lesson from those events.

Thanks for your interest in Bueller and Co. accounting. We love to hire the most passionate accountant rock stars in the industry. In advance of the interview, please send us links to some of the side accounting projects you’ve done for fun in your spare time.

But the difference is, good programmers actually LIKE to code. Even in our spare time. For fun. A better analogy is a graphic artist. "Show us some of your oil paintings/charcoal sketches/etc." They won't be doing any oil paintings at work, but they probably paint/sketch/etc. for fun. At least the good ones.

SEEKING WORK - SF Bay Area on-site or remote

Generally available for freelance web app engineering work. I've been working with Rails and JS for ~9 years now, at all points up and down the stack. Everything from performance work on existing code to bringing up a full-fledged product from wireframes. I’ve also been doing some Swift lately.

In the past, I've worked with companies like CircleCI, Remind, Leap Motion, Anki, Rocket Fuel, and TaskRabbit. Before that, I had two startups of my own. In my spare time, I fly airplanes. Currently booked through the end of the year, but I’m always happy to meet up for coffee and chat.

There might be some wider problems of overpopulation though, and longer lifespan might also cause increased income inequality. That's a separate question though.

Matterport | Senior Backend Engineer | Sunnyvale / San Francisco, CA | Full-time | REMOTE VISA

Matterport makes a 3D camera and web platform that allows users to easily capture and display 3D models of physical spaces. Check out some example spaces in our gallery: https://matterport.com/gallery The Backend Engineering Team works on our Platform and APIs. The stack is Django/Python/Postgres on AWS, and Fastly as a CDN. We're a small team right now, at 4 engineers who mostly do Django and 3 who mostly do infrastructure and developer tools.

We're hiring more in this area because we're starting to get some very interesting scaling challenges:

* We host over 700,000 highly detailed 3D models of real places captured by our cameras, amounting to over 600TB of data.

* We serve over 20 million 3D views every month, which amounts to over 10 billion requests and 400TB of data.

Our APIs are used by all parts of the company: 3D data gets uploaded from our cameras, processed by our vision pipeline in C++, Python, and TensorFlow, and consumed by our Javascript/WebGL and VR applications. The Backend team makes new additions to the API constantly, and works to ensure the APIs are secure, scale well, and are well tested.

Have been trying to "get" a lot of modern architecture since I studied it back in the day, but much of it from the 70's on looks dated to me. Buildings like I.M. Pei's Dallas City Hall. Have to look hard to find a Guggenheim, which (IMO) has stood the test of time.

So "modern" and functionalism is great, but I'd rather they figure out something lasting before they experiment with a few $100M of my taxes/tuition/donation.
Trying to spark an emotional connection in the commoditized airline market
Chronos is cool, and definitely hacker-friendly, but it's not a proper fitness watch per se - it's just a demonstration TI made for their CC430 chips. Doesn't have much computational power or sensors onboard, but it features an 433/868/915 MHz radio (frequency depends on the model you pick) - and I mean actual, hackable radio - and it lasts forever on a coin cell.

I had lots of fun tinkering with it, but it's not really what the OP is looking for.

If by Communism you mean Leninist vanguardism, then, if not “exactly the case”, it's at least consistent with the theory.

If you mean the system described by Marx and Engels, then, no, it's directly contrary to the theory.

If you mean some other Communist theory, well, maybe, but probably not.
> one pedal driving

The Leaf has that with B-mode although I think this area is ripe for improvement.

In B-mode or one pedal driving, when you take the foot off the pedal, rather than slowing down with aerodynamic drag, regen is engaged and those electrons are pumped back into the battery. On the Leaf and just about any EV or hybrid, when you brake, regenerative braking is used down to about 5 mph. Brakes last forever.

One pedal driving takes a little getting used to. Not a lot, but a little.

so I see musl but glibc in there....

About me: I'm an engineering manager started as an engineer here at Uber, in Amsterdam. My first project was rewriting the Uber app (https://eng.uber.com/new-rider-app/) and the last interesting piece of code I committed was open sourcing the architecture behind it (https://github.com/uber/RIBs).
> The dog experiences illusions of thoughts, concepts, ideas, imagination (and many other things besides) that are about its environment. Those have been caused by the nature of its environment. The spinning top topples towards its final point as-if it understood, just like the dog.

I think it's the same case with humans. We wouldn't differ from monkeys without ability to store information and imagination/abstraction(I think animals might posses those as well). Biologically-wise we are striving for same goals just in different environment(influenced/created) by us and more means(posibble acions).
You mean something like a web of value vs the web of information we have currently?

In order to do that we would some sort of immutable database where many parties can come to a consensus on its values...
Google Çeviri Diğer Uygulamalarla Birlikte Nasıl Kullanılır?
Agreed, it's not a huge difference. There may be enough of a difference that the FSI may think that the slightly more similar vocabulary more or less makes up for French's slightly more complicated grammar such that it ranks French and Spanish as approximately equal in difficulty for English speakers.
If I understand correctly though, I think that suggestion would defeat the purpose of the stroop test that this method is using to trick people, cause the whole idea is that the word ocean is supposed to mislead you and the color of the text can be green. You tap the text color, not the meaning of the word.

2002 was handwavy. I ultimately moved to Ruby as my primary language (I'm now 50/50 Ruby/Go).

FWIW I tried Python, I just didn't like it. I've programmed a lot of languages and most I'm fine with, I just didn't like the way Python felt.
