Longshot Systems | Multiple Roles | Marylebone, London, UK | ONSITE | Full time | £65k-£85k

At Longshot Systems Ltd we're a small startup building advanced platforms for sports betting analytics and trading. Having developed a lot of our core platform infrastructure we are looking to begin expanding our trading strategy development activity.

1) Machine Learning Engineer (https://longshot-systems-ltd.workable.com/jobs/578496). You'd be working closely with the CEO, CTO and ML research team to turn prototype trading models into production-ready systems, design and build the tooling & frameworks to support strategy research and development as well as architecting the high-level design of the strategy software to minimise trading latency and scale effectively. Our ML stack is Numpy/Scipy based and communicates with our core infrastructure, written in Golang, by RPC. The ideal candidate will have a strong software engineering background, with broad experience across a range of topics related to general high performance computing such as multi-threading, networking, profiling and optimisation.

2) Senior Software Engineer (https://longshot-systems-ltd.workable.com/jobs/610845). You'd be part of the platform team, creating services in Golang and improving performance and reliability of our trading platform. You'd be working with the CEO and CTO and the rest of the team directly. You should have good knowledge of one or more systems programming languages and ideally some Go experience. We do a lot of trouble shooting so good knowledge up and down the stack is critical, including debugging, profiling, network wrangling and optimisation.

We have an office dog, Minos, although he's home on paternity leave right now. He's a beagle and rather cheeky. We can send you a pic if you need it to help in your decision making process. If you would like to learn more about the role please visit https://www.longshotsystems.co.uk/
12 changes that could shake up the blockchain world in 2018
I think it will because it shows the downside of a monoculture. Hence big purchasers of CPUs will want to diversify. Also good for ARM vendors I suppose. Disclosure : bought AMD this morning before headlines saying "Buy AMD, short INTC" appeared.
You may want to have a look at MemPa (also commented above) [1]. Please LMK what do you think, info in my profile.

That is the correct answer

And to be honest, it's a process tool. Dealing with processes is boring.

Jira is better than bugzilla and trac. And much better than some tools, constructed from manure, from big IT companies and sold for very high price tags.
PT, ibuprofen/acetaminophen and heat packs. I was pretty much pain free in about two weeks, which was an incredible relief on many levels.

Honestly, for that type of pain, opioids are only marginally effective anyway.

It's not as much of an issue for SEO, depending on what you're using to render.

The bigger problem is Facebook, Twitter, and the like are not going to run JavaScript to read your meta tags. It's not an issue for everyone, but if you're a publisher of articles then you're still going to have to render something from the server. Of course one can come halfway by only rendering the head tag contents and not producing a body, which is where most of the complication comes from.
I thought it was clear that this patch only applies to AMD. However, reading the comments here confuses me. How's does the performance on Intel drops with this?
>even if you had cocaine ($100,000/kg?)

it's $100k+ retail value, but wholesale value is much below that, more in line with gold.
Umm, isn't that highly illegal? If you make a good profit and it can be traced to your rumor, I don't think the SEC finds that very funny.
There's no reason that Apple couldn't build a Netflix competitor and then ban Netflix from its mobile device platforms.
>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.

If you can point me towards someplace visible that is using these tools well, I'm more than happy to be wrong. Every time I've seen them used, they're more like rorschach number generators for management, so I have naturally assumed that my experiences are the normal. That is, of course, a fallacy, so if you can point me to such a paragon of use, I'll be more than happy to check it out.

That would be poor coding or application design. There’s no reason for that to happen with SSR. At all.

There’s especially no reason for it with modern frameworks like React/Vue/etc - it’s not been a technical problem for years.

For $750 bucks you did get an arguably perfect version of SF2 Super Turbo. For my friends and I that was amazing.

No, it's only because of "JS is now a part of the web" advocates that we've gotten into this horrible situation.

but then they go back to leading a much more difficult online life than the rest of the world.

I completely disagree, because I don't have to routinely subject myself to the barrage of useless distracting noise (adverts and whatever else) caused by JS. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10871967 (The rest of the comments on that item are worth reading too.)

Also, "JS off" is very much in agreement with "don't run untrusted code", something which everyone who cares about security in any way would have no problem with.
> Growth is great, but I've never met a single dev that is excited to use their tools.

I've seen one dev excited - the one who tested other tools and picked Jira because it checked off on all the "features" needed. It really did handle the arcane and complicated workflow we had. But besides that few liked it, though it was a mix of hating the slow and unresponsive UI and hating the arcane process.

Because of the rest of the patch set. This one simply says "AMD CPUs should not be penalized [by such patch set changes]".
PS4 has gone this way already. When downloading a game you might get two progress bars. You can start the game when the first one is done, and it will download the rest of the game while you're playing. Microsoft has had this tech for a long time, I know they use it for MS Office programs at least.
Software Engineer | Microsoft | Redmond (Seattle), WA | ONSITE

Hi HN,

The OneNote team at Microsoft is hiring for our Customer Insights & Data group!

We're a small, five person team working with petabytes of data and a host of interesting problems. Currently in the early stages of migrating our ETL and analytics systems from our internal BigQuery equivalent to the Hadoop ecosystem, we're keen on hiring people with functional programming experience and/or war stories from the Spark/Kafka/Storm/C* trenches.

Have questions? See the job postings below or email me at nib@microsoft.com!

Software Engineer II: https://aka.ms/cid-swe2-opening

Sr. Software Engineer: https://aka.ms/cid-swe3-opening
For what purpose? Amazon's goal is to kill off traditional retail, as far as I can tell. Big box stores like Target are failing because their business model can't compete.

Amazon already bought Whole Foods, which gives them a large enough physical presence to do whatever it is they're going to do with it. Integrating that business with the rest of Amazon will already take years- why complicate it further?

My guess? Gene Munster owns some stocks in Target and wants to offload them at a price slightly higher than what it's currently at.
The reason I read it that way was because of the whole "knowing yourself is the most important goal in life" aspect, which is a summum bonum type statement, and one I disagree with. I think there are lots of good honorable things in life that are more important than knowing who you are.

> I tend to disagree with this. I personally think that you can't understand yourself through contrast with who others are

I don't mean you should only or even primarily base your self-awareness in relation to the contrast, but that any view of yourself that doesn't at least have an understanding of your needs vs another person's will always be an incomplete one.

We're a high-volume business – our customers send hundreds of thousands of transfers every month – and we're growing fast.

As a (full stack) Senior Data Engineer, you will be responsible for working on the data structure and pipelines, including designing and architecting many of its components. You will be working alongside our analysts, data scientists, machine learning engineers amongst other stakeholders to identify and implement the best possible solutions for our analytical data needs. We are looking for engineers with experience in Python and SQL, and extensive work around large complex datasets. Apply at: https://www.worldremit.com/en/careers?gh_jid=937808

It uses code-splitting, dynamic imports and hot module reloading, which are all well supported in webpack. We definitely plan to support Rollup as well, once it has those features — it should be possible to shrink down JS payloads by a reasonable amount. (Maybe Parcel too, eventually.)

I think the 'too much API' feelings might be more unfamiliarity than anything. The API surface area is much smaller than anything like Angular, Vue etc, and although it's a fundamentally different approach to React I'd argue Svelte has a much shallower learning curve there as well. We're very open to feedback and suggestions though!
An Apology and Explanation
Target has real-estate, they've done all the legwork to figure out where big stores like that need to be. Everything is already built, Amazon just needs to put their logo on it. Voila - digital empire turned physical overnight.
Looking at the pictures it seems that they were taken exactly in the moment of greeting the photographer (People with their hands on hats...). The way the function of the camera is described, using the gestures of greeting someone may have nicely helped in keeping his camera a secret.

Also: Indeed, very nice to see people smiling in that time! I wonder how much the grim-looking portraits we know add to the cliche of hard-ship and sadness we have of earlier times.

Then, having to look that way when being portrayed may stemmed from who were the earliest people being portrayed: Saints, Kings and Queens.
ITT: a complete misunderstanding of how a universal JS web app works.
I don't know anything about retail but I'd have thought they were more likely to buy Kohls: Target seems pretty successful at what they do hence expensive, while Kohls seems sort of directionless but they have stores most places. They also have an arrangement already with Amazon for BnM returns.
1. No co-op works this way. New hires almost never have the same privileges and voting rights as original members. There is usually a kind of "vesting" period for voting rights since members need to be sure everyone is committed to the mission of the co-op.

2. See my point on 1. In the long term however, the kind of mutiny you suggest could be a good and necessary thing. In a co-op, you are not starting "your" company, but a cooperative. The whole point is that it is owned and run by everyone, it's not the founder's special baby. If the founder can't see what's best for the company and its workers while everyone else can, then they should definitely be overruled.

3. The incentive is to be founding something that can change the exploitative nature of the economy we live in. You're not starting a co-op to get rich off the work of others in implementing your amazing idea for an ice-cream delivery app. You're making a product that a community is invested in, both in the production and consumption, where everyone truly benefits because they all have a share of power over the project. A co-op couldn't buy up entire city blocks because one small board decided on it, or pollute a water supply because one small group of investors didn't give a fuck. That is why we need co-ops.

I've been involved with starting businesses and I think co-ops are great.
Sure, but he was trying to pick something super expensive, even more than gold.

True, but as you can see from SEC's stance of pump and dump schemes on altcoins, there are ways of blurring the lines of legality.

> For complex health care problems, I recommend hiring a consultant to provide administrative (not medical!) guidance.

This is called a patient advocate. Think of them as your healthcare guardian.

Sometimes you hire one, sometimes one will be assigned to you in more progressive healthcare systems. If you are fighting a chronic or potentially lethal disease, I highly recommend one.

Edit: Your patient advocate is usually covered by insurance if they work for the hospital or the insurance company, but not if you hire them directly. Take that for what you will.
Here's what they currently do https://www.amazon.com/produce-aisle-Fuji-Apple-Large/dp/B00...
Why save the web? Seems like a better future would be to do end-to-end encryption over a peer-to-peer network.

Yes, in understand that it could be blocked in a number of ways, but so could mesh networks too.
~2006-2007, and it was a continuous stream of models. I was between the modellers and the cluster so I would rewrite the models to work on cluster.
You are right Patreon is great, but in the case I mentioned above, I would never support someone on Patreon after my specific dishwasher issue was fixed.

Patreon works great when you enjoy someone content on a continual basis. These 1 off trouble shooting type of content producers need to find their own way.

It also made me think of PICK (and PICK cpu hardware implementations); though I never learned enough about the internals of PICK when I last used it 20+ years ago (so I could be wildly off-base).
It might go that way eventually, but right now, you still have to deal with JS at least to load up the wasm program and get a useful result out of it to present to the user.
Books that are cringe-worthily bad in every possible way are sometimes, unaccountably, wildly successful and make their authors tons of money. It's frustrating if you're a) an author, and/or b) care about the genre or topic of such a book, but that's the way the world works and it exhibits no signs of changing any time soon. I don't get it either. No amount of pointing out how superbly awful they are ever seems to help.
You can also not rely on things like tailcall optimization to automatically happen. That is why you usually annotate the function with @tailrec in Scala for example. The annotation doesn't do anything by itself. The compiler will just show an error/warning if the function is not optimized with a tail call.

Autovectorised SIMD code would probably need something like an "AUTOVEC" annotation at every single line to be effective which defeats the purpose of autovectorisation in the first place.
