CargoMate Technologies | Front-end JavaScript Engineer | London | Onsite, Full-time, £40K-£60K + 0.5-1.25% Equity, www.cargomate.co.uk

CargoMate Technologies brings innovative efficiency to the container shipping industry. We’re developing a range of applications and technologies to record, monitor and analyse container ship cargo operations (i.e. the process of moving containers on and off a ship in port), to ensure ships depart early and consume less fuel on voyage. Our long-term goal is to bring the widespread adoption of autonomous technologies to merchant ships. Voyages by ship are legally classed as ‘adventures’. We see CargoMate as an adventure too; driven by passionate problem solvers who are resilient when faced with a storm. We reach our destination by working as one crew.

We are backed by one of the UK’s most successful tech accelerators, Entrepreneur First. We care about our craft and it’s important to us that you do as well. We’re looking for someone with a couple of years of coding experience under their belt and who’s willing to learn on the job, as well as teach others. You write code that you’re proud of as you know you and your team members will be the ones maintaining and adding new features to it. You’ll work on a customer facing React.js website as well as an Android only React Native app. You don’t have to know our whole tech stack but it’s important that you’re willing to learn. You’ll collaborate closely with the CTO as we turn our proof of concept into an MVP ready for production. You’ll build new features, do code reviews, mentor future team members as well as have mentors around you.

We keep up to date with the latest tech but know that bleeding edge usually puts you in an unstable spot. Our projects are written in Javascript, React.js, React Native and all use ES6. For this role, Javascript skills and culture fit are more important than a formal education. We don’t do whiteboard interviews or ask you how many golf balls fit in a 747. You will get to show that you know what you’re doing by coding on your own machine as part of the interview process.

We see coding as a way of communication, it’s therefore important that you have excellent communication skills as well as fluency in written and spoken English. Our intention is to enable remote working and flexible working hours as soon as we can. As this is one of our first hires, we need you full-time on-site in our offices in central Richmond upon Thames.

eBay allows this. It's useful for brand management.

There is a cooperatively run janitors company in NYC that manages to pay its worker-owners much more than the going rate yet still gets enough business to survive. I believe this is probably due to not having overpaid management overhead in their costs.

Like a #metoo movement for scientists. AFAIK Hyper-parameter tuning is fairly normal and necessary given how easy it is for the models to become unstable on their own and future polluting is often accidental. It can come down to judgement calls and difference of opinions as to what degree of intervention is acceptable which leaves a lot of wiggle room If you removed all future pollution and and left hyperparameters at the initial best guess you often end up with crazy results in backtesting. E.g. if our past predictions were correct then we should be living on Venus right now which obviously we're not so we must need different hyperparameters. My former colleagues were trying their best and even they knew their adjustments were going beyond reasonable. They never signed off on the final results so the project was politically useless and subsequently killed. They've all since left the climate change industry disillusioned as well.
Going back to the server for 100kb of HTML and reloading the entire page, as opposed to fetching 10kb of JSON and instantly updating it in place, is a very 2002 way of doing things!

The difference between streaming 100kb and 10kb is small when compared to the connection latency itself. Even on a low-end LTE connection (5mbps), 100kb is 20ms, whereas the latency of a cross-country (US) transit is realistically ~50-100ms. The difference decreases further when you enable server-side compression and start doing fragment rendering, which tends to remove the penalty for HTML payloads.

The argument for react-like technologies is not connection latency, but rather, the hope that you can avoid synchronous connections in the first place by moving your view logic client-side. And truthfully, few client-side apps are written in a way that would minimize payloads anyway. Most people are doing it because they hate working with the DOM and AJAX and server-side frameworks in a mishmash of web technologies, and perceive these client-side frameworks as easier.
Tao/Intent/Elate (which I think is defunct nowadays) would also qualify, and I'd argue .NET on Windows with the GAC would, too (although there'll be a legitimate argument about whether that's "simple and closely models the processor").
Didn't we hear something about this already last year?
Serial Swatter Bragged He Hit 100 Schools, 10 Homes
I did say it is anedoctal, but to make it more clear: this was not from just "a hill hike with friends". This is my experience from years hiking with these and other friends in the US, noticing their behavior (and those of other people in the same trails) on both the West and East coast, and contrasting it to the behavior seen in comparable trails outside of the US. After a while it starts feeling more like a common pattern, instead of an isolated thing.
Nice pictures. But... what happened to using img size tags? The page is very hostile to the viewer since if you start browsing the pictures, it keeps adding photo elements as they load, making it impossible to actually read anything or view the photos until all the images have loaded. Seems to happen a lot to me these days.

edit: I should note, the article now links to a better-behaved site.
Peterson is probably the most talented sophist around these days. This particular lecture series, like most of his other lectures, is full of ad hoc historical revisionism that just happens to line up exactly with his enlightened Christian centrist worldview.

Could it be trial balloons? see how regulators and politicians react to gauge how likely it is to succeed or if there is a big pushback?
Phantom | Front End Developer, Python Developer, Data Analyst | London, UK | ONSITE, Full-Time, http://phantom.land

Phantom is a forward thinking digital creative agency based in Old Street, London, United Kingdom. We are currently expanding the team and have vacancies for junior/mid front end developers, mid/senior python engineers and data analysts. We don't put our development team in a box but expect them to be involved from strategy to delivery, working collaboratively with the entire team to find unique solutions to some amazing briefs. To help facilitate this we have our own bar in the office and the cupboards are always stocked with snacks and treats. Most importantly we have an awesome development and creative team in place and are looking for more like-minded people who will keep pushing the agency forward.

A small sample of the technologies, languages and frameworks we use include AngularJS, Three.js, Django, Flask and Google App Engine. Some recent projects we've worked on include a Cardboard VR Experience for Google (http://phantom.land/work/petra/), a personalised playlist generator for London Grammar (http://phantom.land/work/moodmix/), Market Finder (https://marketfinder.thinkwithgoogle.com/) and an interactive piece for the TATE Modern featuring music by Sigur Rós (http://phantom.land/work/states-of-matter/).

Money isn't the key to happiness, however it lets you get rid of a lot of the bullshit of life. And that bullshit of life is what's making the majority of unhappy people unhappy.

Yeah if you hate your spouse, don't have friends, don't have hobbies, etc, adding a few zeros to your bank account won't change that. But there are plenty of people who are unhappy largely because of the stress around the financial side of their lives.
I'm lame. I don't need a pen to write a space when a pencil would do:

1. To generate a password i use randompass, which pulls stuff out of /dev/urandom, massages it and dumps it onto the screen.

2. I add that password to a plaintext login : password file located on an encrypted disk on my laptop

3. My password search tool is "grep"
How long does it take going back to the server and loading 100kb of HTML these days?
In my personal case I have no such passwords.

This said, you can use the counter. The counter isn't necessary an incremental int, you can also for example use yymm if you want to "auto renew" your password every month.

So far we haven't implemented anything in MemPa, but we were discussing this last option. Would be great to hear what do you think.
BillionToOne (YC S17) | Senior Scientist | Palo Alto, CA | Full-Time, Onsite | billiontoone.com

BillionToOne detects genetic disorders in the baby through a simple blood test of the mother. Our first prenatal test for beta-thalassemia and sickle cell disease is already in clinical trials. Over 100 million people are carriers for these disorders.

We are hiring a senior scientist to lead R&D activities. BillionToOne integrates nucleic acid biochemistry and machine learning to make DNA testing more affordable and accurate. The ideal candidate has DNA wet lab bench experience and is comfortable devising custom analysis pipelines in Python or R.

The alternative is advertising built into the OS like Ubuntu did and MS and Amazon still do, tracking built into the OS like Google and MS do, etc. Having the trackers run in a sandbox is not great but it's a little better than letting them all run natively.
I actually think an Apple/Netflix merger makes a lot of sense. Apple sucks at online services and netflix could use the deep pockets.

This has been going around the Minneapolis subreddit and development forums in the last week or so, with a lot of doom and gloom about one of our biggest HQs moving out of the city.

I guess I could see why Amazon would want to do it, but I'm also a little torn on what it would do locally if Amazon didn't end up locating HQ2 here while pulling Target HQ somewhere else.

On the other hand, Loup Ventures is also based here, and I wouldn't be surprised if this is just Gene Munster trying to get press by stirring up shit.
Based on the movie, I'm not sure what features you want besides "move slightly to the right".
> Jira is a painful to use, especially compared to trello.

If you're using JIRA for stuff that Trello works for, then sure.

What JIRA does and does exceptionally well: grows with your organisation. You can start using JIRA for a simple ticketing system with 3 devs, then continue using it through 100x growth and still use it with multiple product teams, multiple development teams, overlapping projects, CI, code review, wikis, reporting tools, and so on.

If you think that all these tools and sophistication is bullshit, then that's a different conversation -- but a non-negligible number of smart people think that these integrations worth a lot.

JIRA is like Excel or Word -- 80% of people use only 20% of the functionality (or less), but it's a different 20% for all of them. And it's really-really painful to realize that Trello/GH Issues/etc. works great with a slick UI, except that it can't do that single stuff you'd really need because of your special situation.
The web is dying, but mesh networks could save it
IIRC, this fall’s i9 chips and the motherboards supporting them have software-unlockable features. You can literally buy more PCI lanes.

Which is another way of saying you had those lanes, and Intel wanted more money before letting you use what you’d already bought.
>You probably only notice the poorly-built SPAs because the UX gets in the way. i.e., confirmation bias.

Maybe you are too young to remember Youtube before it was turned into a webapp. It was _considerably_ faster. Todays version requires all sorts of odd refreshing bits and pieces. The old one just loaded right away and showed the video.

If I was paranoid, I'd think that Google did it on purpose to push Youtube Red ads at us.

Curious: why use Webpack rather than your own and IMHO much superior bundler, Rollup?

I’m excited to try this more but I have mixed feelings about Svelte. The concept is brilliant but I feel like there’s too much API and some weird gotchas. I hope there’ll be an effort to simplify it if possible.
Typical click-bait; An extremely bold prediction with an article that takes less than two minutes to read with a re-direct to another Bloomberg article about a less-sexy potential Amazon acquisition.

"Right tool for the job", as the old saying goes.

There are sites that indeed are applications, with lots of updates occurring dynamically on a page: a chat, a dashboard, any type of control interface. They do benefit from the libraries that make highly dynamic things efficient.

There are sites that are best served as static pages. This includes the server component, too, BTW. A static site generator producing plain HTML + CSS is often a good replacement to something like Wordpress.

Some people use latest trending tech for no good reason, just to show off. But the problem here lies not in the tech used.
As a Linux sysadmin, this is incredible flowchart software and I really enjoy using it. Is there a diagram software for console I could use thats just as easy I wonder?

The downside is it has very limited sex appeal for *.managers. Microsoft Visio has turned diagrams into blinding tapestries of overpriced clipart, fancy arrows, and logos. Worst of all, its an enabler for the cardinal sin of diagrams: overlapping lines.
> However, from all that I can find it states they're supported by Samsung Research, to me that's not the same thing as 'part of' Samsung, which would imply ownership.

I think this is some kind of natural law: any sufficiently old enterprise system tends towards becoming an ad-hoc, bug-ridden, poorly specified workflow engine.
Yeah it's different non intersecting sets. Also, if you add all the jobs created by companies started by H1bs, it's definitely more than a million.
#pretzel2018 – Working with more focus and clarity
I was in Whole Foods yesterday and was half-expecting to see USB cables for sale between the tomatoes and the oranges—the real-world version of Amazon's product recommendations... :)

But then that got me thinking that Whole Foods just might be their first foray into retail and I could see them making other retail acquisitions in various niches to eventually cover a wide spectrum of goods.

Target seems more questionable as this would duplicate the logistic systems they already have.
