Airtable | Software Engineer | San Francisco | REMOTE

Airtable is a collaborative real-time database. Our mission is to expand human productivity by letting people create tools to organize their world. Unlike single-purpose apps, we think of Airtable as a toolkit of building blocks that people can repurpose to create their own applications. Our product roadmap is filled with interesting enhancements and additions to this toolkit that will push the boundaries of Airtable's capabilities.

To see some of the ways people are already using Airtable, check out http://airtable.com/universe

We're hiring engineers for web (Javascript + Flow, Node, React), iOS (Objective-C, Swift), and Android.

We're a small team, with backgrounds from Google, Facebook, Microsoft, etc. We believe in the power of highly motivated and capable individuals to accomplish great things in small teams, with end-to-end ownership of projects and rapid iteration.

[Disclosure, I currently work for VMware]

On the VMware side, what kind of documentation are you looking for, and what kind of capabilities are you looking to expose? VMware has a really broad portfolio and it can be complex for someone to get started if they are not already familiar with what is available.

If you want to get hands-on quickly to see what capabilities are available I'd recommend trying out the free "Hands-on labs" available here - http://labs.hol.vmware.com/HOL/catalogs/catalog/681

It may be useful to understand a bit of the high-level overview of which components play in the portfolio. Probably key items to look at are:

1. vSphere (comprised of vCenter and ESXi for compute virtualization)
2.a. Either, vRealize suite (primarily vRealize Automation)
2.b. Or, vSphere Integrated OpenStack (if you want to use OpenStack instead of vRealize)

API docs are located on https://code.vmware.com though if you don't have a mental model of the system already it could be somewhat complex to follow along unaided.
You're confusing "stay put" with "found a niche and a perpetual and abundant source of food". Many urban species have adapted to city living: Raccoons, skunks, pigeons and sparrows have all found their home and thrive on urban conditions where food is everywhere.

A rat living in the city has it pretty good compared to those that have to forage in the wild. Slices of pizza regularly fall onto the subway tracks, for example, but this really doesn't happen in the middle of the forest. Nobody leaves huge dumpsters full of food scattered across the countryside, but they're literally on every single street corner in a city like New York.
My father died a couple of years ago. He was a proud union civil servant, and several dozen (maybe 200) people showed up to the funeral who knew him at various degrees of separation. I knew only a few of them, but it impressed upon me as someone who works more with code than directly with people that so many people so distantly removed from a person would pay such respects. Who shows up to your last rites says a lot about how you lived your life. He spent time above and beyond his work duties to give people a better life by his union activity, the legacy of which lasts today. I have a small-ish family (we're on good terms) and have had some modest accomplishments at work, but most of my friends are from college, and live far away. Old work buddies I see only infrequently, and it'd be hard to imagine how they'd be notified in the case of my death, and I certainly don't have the time or inclination to become such a pioneer in FOSS that my passing would be momentous in the industry. It got me to thinking how we lose a lot not only when we're dedicated to work, but also only to too small a social circle to have the kind of old age and passing that we'd ideally envision for ourselves. It's spurred me to volunteer more time in my local community in various ways in the hopes that I'd become the kind of person others would find dependable, spread the good word about, and miss when I'm gone.
OK, I just tried setting it up. Here's the problem. You can certainly set the recovery key, but you can easily create a new one just with the phone passcode. So if your passcode is compromised, your iCloud account is basically gone.
FWIW, I switched my order to the stripped-down "angel" and did eventually receive it but it was non-working junk. Some sensors didn't work; others produced garbage for data. So disappointing.
It only sends it to Strava if you want it to. I haven't connected it to Strava yet, although I probably will eventually.

I'm currently using a logitech keyboard and mouse that support their new feature 'flow' that allows your keyboard and mouse to switch which computer they are paired with when the mouse goes to the edge of the screen. Now it seems that to support this feature, they must have the ability for the computer to instruct the keyboard and mouse to switch to one of the other paired computers. I would very much like to have the capability of doing that in my own code, but it seems to only be available through the official logitech app (that rarely works for my setup).

I've got an ereader that requires me to plug in to transfer epubs that I've downloaded onto it. If it were hackable, I'd be able to run a wifi sync program on it and my experience would be much better. It integrates with pocket, but I use pinboard.in and would like it to integrate with that instead. The default software doesn't give me a choice.

I've often wanted to purchase things based on their hackability - wifi routers, keyboard, mouse, sd cards, voip adapters, game controllers, cameras, e-readers, mobile phones, webcams....

But I often find it very difficult to find up to date information about what is user-hackable and what isn't. If this information were easier to find, it would affect my buying decisions more and would create more incentive for manufacturers to consider making their devices hackable.

I wonder if this is true for other city species. Are there distinct raccoon populations? What about birds and cockroaches?

Another chapter in the super interesting story of the GM vs Tesla battle. Part of me wants to compare Tesla to strategies of companies who needed more established companies to compete with to generate higher demand, yet still had the best product and came out ahead.

But wonder if GM could pull ahead since it has more of a history of mass producing things, and all the infrastructure around that all built. Time will tell.
What exactly is the butterfly generation? I have never heard this term before. Are you referring to the book "The Butterfly Generation" by Palash Krishna Mehrotra and if so does this term have a distinctly Indian meaning or does it apply to people from other countries as well? Thanks for satisfying my curiosity!

I got started keeping a dev journal by logging bugs I fixed. I would document the problem, recreate steps (if QA supplied none), what I thought was the problem, what was the actual problem and finally how I fixed it. I also kept a note of where in the source the bug was found. Sure, there are automated was to do this, but we didn't use those at the time and, well, it led to a good habit, so I'm happy.

Sadly, as much as I hoped it would, it hasn't translated into a good habit of writing a personal journal.
The 1955 Parker Brothers game "Careers" is weirdly ahead of its time in this way, it's roll-and-move (looks like Monopoly) but each player chooses their own, hidden, victory condition to win. It's the norm for everyone in a 4 player game to still think they have a shot at winning right up until someone reveals that they have won.

I've always wanted a decent Civ-style computer game that did that, it would solve the "diplomatic AI in a zero-sum game makes no sense" problem.

Careers has way too much of a luck component and not enough direct competition for serious gamers but for a light family game it's basically a not terrible version of Monopoly or Life.

Edit: also from the designer of Careers: invented language Loglan. I guess there's something to the "language as cooperative game" theory.
The interesting thing is that this is also going to change the status quo, in perhaps unexpected ways. There's no doubt the vast majority of these claims are true, yet there's also no doubt that this is really ratcheting up the concern of many employers about the possibilities when being alone with female employees. And then social events, most of which involve alcohol, are going to ramp that concern up to 11.

It's possible that this is already happening to some degree. One of Ellen Pao's complaints against Kleiner Perkins is that females were not invited to some social outings with the other partners/execs. As this becomes a more serious issue, and like you - I am expecting an ongoing purge, the status quo is going to be shaken in ways other than taking out the trash.
It's interesting how this article points out that there's very little technically wrong with the laptop but the design is no longer leading the pack. The laptop market seems bifurcated by the Macbook and the thinkpad. Does a laptop exist out there nobody knows about that quietly outperforms (in both hardware and design) these two dominate market forces?
Do they really not work? Every bi department I’ve ever heard running the numbers, so far, have been sorry to say they do. I’ve never met a company happy to put them in, either. It’s always “ugh, the numbers show big tick ups in engagement, we have to do this -.-“

Do you have different experiences?
I usually wear trousers from a company my friend founded[1], a random t-shirt I probably got at a conference, socks, shoes, glasses, and a hat. Occasionally I wear a utilikilt and tall socks instead of trousers.

Ask HN: Does HN "help" upvoting posts by YC-backed companies?
One post by a YC-backed company was on the frontpage for some hours, got 30'ish upvotes and landed on page two rather quickly. Then, some hours later it was back on the frontpage with over 300 votes.

If I understand the HN algorithm correctly, it is unlikely that this happens organically or am I totally wrong?
Please forgive my ignorance because my experience with packing is limited PyPI. What makes building packages so difficult? Don't you essentially just include your binaries, related files, specify dependencies, maybe include pre or post processing scripts, and then finally build the package for the respective packaging system? I'm sure there are subtle differences in configuration and organization between the various systems, but that sounds more like an initial setup pain than something overly complex.
Can we just burn that stuff already?

I mean, being rich and powerful already makes a whole lot easier for a man to conquest women (and vice-versa), I don't like it but that's the way it is - just riding a better car creates a lot of opportunities like I have myself experimented - so why bother forcing your way?

Corso Systems | Software Engineer, Controls Engineer| We are a 100% Remote Team! | Corsosystems.com

Corso is different. Some people have called us strange, they work for us now! We’re committed to doing things differently, so check out our YouTube Channel or read the blog posts and see that we’re more that just a bunch of people in suits.

Generally, Corso is a Systems Integration Firm, specializing in Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), SCADA, and other Business System Integrations (ERP and anything else you can think).

We’re expanding into brewing and so we’re looking for a Software Engineer to join the team to help us build it out. Check out BrewTel: http://corsosystems.com/brewtel/ that’s what would be first on your plate, we’ve got the plan and are looking for help to execute. If you’re a craft beer fan or home brewer and are able to use that experience to help build this out, that would be amazing!

Ideally you’d have some experience in: C#/ASP.NET MVC, or Rails, and SQL, Web Services, and API’s. Plus you’d be able to take a project and run with it yourself with minimal help. We’re not micromanagers and we trust everyone to get their work done.

If you’re interested in learning more about the industrial side of the business to make you a more well rounded individual and help with some of the other jobs (because most of the dev work will be easier than what you’re doing right now). Looking to join a small team already making a difference with big dreams, we should talk.

On the chance that there are Controls Engineers on here who are experiences in Ignition and/or Siemens WinCC OA, AB and Siemens PLC’s drop me a line, we should also have a conversation, we’re growing fast.

Email me: Dave@CorsoSystems.com We’d love to have a conversation.

Facebook | Solutions Engineer | Menlo Park, NYC, Seattle, Austin, London, Dublin, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Buenos Aires | Onsite

Solutions Engineers at Facebook spend roughly half their time working with product engineering teams and writing production code. The other half of their time is spent working directly with partners to develop and execute their Facebook technology strategy.

We find that this setup is great for engineers that want to spend more time on the business side of things or have more people interaction while still being hands on with code.

This allows large advertisers to work directly with people at Facebook that have a knowledge of the ads codebase, and Solutions Engineers can implement great suggestions made by partners.

More about the role is available at https://www.facebook.com/careers/life/solutions-engineering-... .

Job listings are available at https://www.facebook.com/careers/search/?q=solutions%20engin... .

We also have a great opportunity for an engineering manager that would like to support a team in Paris. You would support a distributed team, so some travel would be required. Roughly half the time would be spent on people management, with the other half on Solutions Engineering work.

We are looking for someone fluent in French.

We will consider a very experienced tech lead that would like to make the transition into people management.
