NNF Center for Biosustainability | Full Stack Engineer | Copenhagen Denmark | ONSITE | VISA

Full-stack Developer for Synthetic Biology Platform

The focus of The Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability is synthetic biology and strain design. Living cells are being genetically modified in order to produce chemicals in a sustainable way. The list of things that can be made by engineered strains includes biofuels, bioplastics, drugs, food supplements and much more.

Engineering a living cell is an incredibly hard task. Mathematical and computational models are being developed in order to make computer-aided design of biology possible. The project we are hiring you for is about building a web platform to provide easy access to metabolic models so the development of new strains becomes faster and cheaper. The platform already has the capabilities of modifying cells right in your browser window and constraining the models with real experimental data in order to gain insights about cell metabolism. You can get more information about the project at http://dd-decaf.eu/.

We are looking for a full-stack developer with a strong focus on the frontend. You will be dealing with biological concepts every day, discovering the best ways to operate with genes and biochemical reactions. Deep understanding of biology is not a requirement though, most of the developers in the institute were able to gain the necessary knowledge after joining the team. Our technology stack at the moment is

* AngularJS (ongoing migration to Angular 5), Angular Material, Typescript
* Python3.6 for the backend services (aiohttp framework) and core scientific libraries
* Postgres, MongoDB, Redis, Neo4j
* Docker

Yes, and the clothes. Okay, I know by many statistical measures we're wealthier now. But those clothes would cost a fortune now. Do they have fewer outfits? Are we only seeing the elite?
I'm not an expert at this! But it would seem a fairly straightforward way to profit without directly trafficking in securities linked to either purchaser or acquirer would be to instead use related company securities instead.

Ex: rumor is Amazon will buy Target. Buy securities on a basket of retail, ex-Target, with similarities to Target.
> Hiring Green card holders or Indian's of American citizenship is a different matter. They aren't gonna work for the salary of an Indian citizen on H1B. The equation changes there.

The savings from the salaries of few US employees does not change "the equation", as you put it, for global outsourcing companies - Infosys, TCS, Cognizant, IBM GS, Capgemini, Accenture etc - who make tens of billions per year, and employ hundreds of thousand people.

I was a fan of natural keys but it is just too much trouble. For example you have to url encode everything when a key is used in the url.

But sometimes I still use natural keys for tables with for example ISO standards like country codes.

When I lived in a smaller suburban town Target was a great responsibly priced alternative to Amazon for many things, especially consumables like cleaning supplies. Now that I lie in a busy city its not worth the horribly busy parking, checkout lines and crowds to go to Target. If I could simply order everything from Amazon I would. If Target sold better quality I still wouldn't go. Prime Now seems to be improving but the selection is pretty spotty.
It depends what you need. If you need an outdated, highly filtered dataset, sure. But no need for IPFS, just grab the tiles from https://openmaptiles.com/ where you also find the appropriate license (which this demo does not seem to include...)
You should learn React and build a simple project with it to understand its real value, which is component-based architecture.

React will likely be around longer than/as long as any framework, but whatever replaces it will use a lot of the same concepts.

It's worse than that. Lead will actually make high energy charged particle radiation WORSE because it produces a whole bunch of secondary radiation. High atomic mass elements (metals) are the worst, and lead is very high atomic mass. For instance, check out this figure which looks at Tantalum and Tungsten (both similar to lead), which is actually higher than no shielding at all (the graph on the right):
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Steve_Blattnig/publicat...

(from this paper: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/252405981_OLTARIS_A... )

What you want is low atomic mass elements for galactic cosmic rays. Hydrogen is best, so you want fuel or plastic (polyethylene/polypropylene is the best plastic for radiation shielding). Water is also pretty good. As a zeroth order estimate, you look at the average atomic mass of the material to determine how well it shields galactic cosmic rays. So composites work better than aluminum.
Your statement is true that climate change could cause weather phenonmenon, but the headline reads "Scientists Can Now Blame Individual Natural Disasters on Climate Change". The line he quoted contradicts that headline.

>but rather a badge of honour saying “look, we’re professionals doing things properly.”

I don't doubt that this is the case. I worry that this begins to approach a "cargo cult" manner of thinking about development.

I can't help but wonder if this trend favours younger developers, who may not remember the days before Scrum became such a widely-practiced management style.

>Like the sibling comment, my own encounters with it have made me think more of the deli counter...

No doubt. Instead of being judged by lines of code, the deli worker now has to concern themselves with things like "velocity" (in which case, Jira has become a prime tool).

> Computer science programs really need to introduce something like a "History of Computing Ideas" course as a mandatory element.

Isn't that the whole programme?

In my final year I had a couple of more advanced courses in which we could just about get our heads around results published by the lecturer four years ago when we started the programme. Everything else is just working up to that, from Boole's ideas; through Turing's and von Neumann's.
Really awesome read. I agree that a boxless world is what we should be aiming for. But right now, isn't that unrealistic? Isn't it the ability to define cisgender a way for trans and other non-binary conforming folks to also organize and protest, which is very necessary right now in our social climate. Similarly, when people argue that there is no race, but the human race? The reality is that oppression does exist because one group has more privileges and can often determine the rights of the other group. So while we should strive for boxlessness, maybe the ability to define these labels right now is necessary for anti-oppression movements.
Back then, IBM was still deep in "nobody gets fired for buying them" territory.

It was just the ad style of the day. The same edition of Byte magazine had an Oracle ad that was full of DBase IV references (copies of negative articles about it, mostly) with only a small Oracle logo somewhere near the end.

My experience with Target restrooms has been mostly positive. They also tend to be easily visible, near the entrance and signed, unlike many other big box stores where you have to ask someone because its impossible to find the restroom.
I know you have a lot of reasons to say this doesn't matter, but why is it a real world problem then for a lot of people? Are these people imagining the issues with Apple products and their browser?

Does Firefox suck up battery so bad on Android that it couldn't possibly be written to run on iOS properly? (technical issue, not ideology) Your arguments are not technically sound. I never mentioned "rights", you did. I merely pointed out that if others copied Apple, they'd be accused of violating rights. (not an issue for me personally)

You present red herrings and twisted some of my comments, but you are right, it's not worth continuing, as neither of us can change anything.

>The value for managers really should not be understated here.

Can you expand on that? I've never seen a manager use it well. They use it to generate numbers for their reports for the people they report to, and it doesn't tend to matter what those numbers or reports actually represent. For example, it's very easy for process to make velocity numbers complete hogwash.

Basically, as far as I can tell, it's great and being able to tell you what you want to hear, and not very good at providing usable insights that increases productivity, but people don't notice because they're hearing what they want to hear.
Shouldn't compensation be a required field for companies to submit? Even a range would be useful.
It's amazing that someone can go through this and come to the conclusion, at the end, that the solution is that this is a business opportunity that would make a lot of money if someone could just make it more efficient. Trying to make money off of healthcare is exactly how we have gotten the absolute mess that is the American medical system. All the incredibly complex rules exist so that health insurance companies can elect _not_ to pay for things that were deemed necessary by a medical professional. If insurance companies would be willing to pay for the services that were needed, there would be no 1600 page rule books. Of course, a system that actually paid for the care that people needed wouldn't be so obscenely profitable for them, and so they lobby massively against it.
Yes, for sure.
At what point will law enforcement ever come to accept that an IP address does not map directly to a person?

As outlined in the article:

* most residential IP addresses are dynamic

* more and more carriers are using cgNAT as they exhaust IPv4 addresses

I'd like to add a third case that I feel is often overlooked:

* most consumer or ISP provided routers never have their firmware updated (unless the ISP pushes the update themselves) and are probably vulnerable to mirai, KRACK, and many others.

Taking a these into account, even if LEO is able to get the correct information for an IP address, there's a non-zero chance that the people had/have a compromised device.

No average consumer is going to be able to prove to LEO or a judge that their device was compromised, and I somehow doubt doing forensic analysis of the person's network is top of LEO's list of evidence to gather. Additionally, many compromises can be ephemeral so by the time the deed is done and the police show up, the router has been rebooted and evidence of the compromise is gone. There is zero chance that LEO is dumping RAM of the router before seizing it as evidence.

Combine this with the fact that people may have an encrypted device and may legitimately forget the password before being requested to decrypt the device. I'm sure this can happen, as being arrested and going to trial can be quite stressful.

The US government is already indefinitely detaining people for not decrypting their devices. [1] I'm not saying the suspect in this case is innocent or guilty, but consider what precedent is being set there.

I don't see heading anywhere good...

This is true in many cases, because either:

A) There's no problem to be solved (which I think is your point), or

B) The problem looks unsolved because it's harder than it looks (e.g. payment fraud).

But I imagine there are spaces (e.g. consumer payments) where a pair of fresh eyes wouldn't suffer from either of the above.

I don't know whether companies like Revolut or Transferwise were founded by ex retail bankers, but I could imagine someone from outside the industry identifying the problems they solve, purely from their customer perspective.

> Shadow DOM is around the corner, what then?

Nothing changes. DOM remains a slow monstrosity impossible to code for. For goodness sakes, reading certain properties in a DOM tree causes a full page reflow [1]

To beat virtual DOM frameworks you have to write extremely specific vanilla JS+DOM code that basically ends up doing the same thing: re-using DOM nodes, event delegation etc. See [2]

Shadow DOM was never meant to be an answer to that. Honestly, I have no idea what it was supposed to be an answer to.

>You could compile other languages to js before

In the mid-term, there will be no more reasons to do that. Just compile those languages straight to Webassembly.
You seem to be talking about JIRA reports. JIRA != Trello + fancy reports.

The strength of JIRA is that if your company suddenly needs a different development flow (whatever it is -- new tooling, new workflow, more teams, awkward regulatory requirements etc.) then you can stay with JIRA because whatever you want to do will be possible with JIRA.

(Uh, I sound like an Atlassian shill, even though I dislike the lagginess of their UI and also how they handle Bitbucket. :) )
This sounds like something out of Eyes Wide Shut, but with social awkwardness, baggy dad jeans, and crocs and socks.

I can't imagine this is emotionally healthy for most of the folks involved. The once socially-exiled men trading wealth and drugs and (implicit) promises of career advancement for sex. The women who hope to leverage their looks for access to a better life, but risk ruining their reputations due to societal double standards. Being aware of these facts, would either party feel good about the encounters?

Orgies are fine. I've never been to one and have no desire to go to one. The real issue here is the power-asymmetry between the men and women involved. It reminds me of someone like Harvey Weinstein inviting an aspiring actress up to his hotel room and making an advance. It puts the women in a damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don't situation. Just extending the invitation itself can be vaguely threatening to a lot of people.
What happened in France, America, Britian, India, or a whole host of other countries that became unsatisfied with the power structure that was in place.

In history we mostly learn about the successful revolution, and rarely hear about the failed ones. In the recent past the Middle-East has a litany of failed revolutions.

What is the climate change industry?
There are already closed off habitats made to simulate living without outside assistance. It's the combination of a lot of things that are relevant here including zero-g not just any single one of them.

We haven't made space travel safe enough yet, we haven't made enough progress on habitats in space.

Plenty of things to figure out and a space station is by any means a much more effective way to do that both financially, when it comes to speed of iteration and ability to course correct and focus on improvements.
There's a certain sense of irony in Amazon taking part of the old Sears distribution building in Seattle for their physical grocery store.
For what it's worth: The bootstrap revival is a pretty big deal, much more important and more immediately useful than almost everything else Wolchover writes about. It's a new set of techniques for analyzing existing theories, and it applies equally well to theorist's toys like supersymmetric QFT and to experimental workhorse models like the 3d Ising Model. Rychkov, Poland, Simons-Duffin and (now many) others have been working at it for just a couple of years, and they've already set the gold standard for the computation of a lot of important and difficult quantities.
It isn't profit-seeking what makes healthcare what it is. Its the incredibly burdensome regulation and restrictions.

If profit-seeking destroyed markets for profit, we would all be starving.
