10x Genomics | Software Engineer | San Francisco & Pleasanton, CA | Onsite, 10xgenomics.com

We're a biotech company developing novel software, biochemical, and microfluidic systems to help scientists gain understanding of the mechanisms behind cancer, the immune system, and our many different cells. We're looking to grow our software team of currently six engineers (including myself) to support the rapid adoption of our technology. Scientists are really excited about our technology as evidenced by the company seeing $71 million in revenue in 2017, which was more than double the revenue in 2016. We're also looking to double our revenue again in 2018.

You can read about (and run if you'd like) our massively parallel pipelines as well as our visualization software at https://support.10xgenomics.com/. We manage our pipelines with Go, develop analysis code using the NumPy/SciPy stack, and drive our front-end applications with React/Redux. No previous biological experience is required; we have plenty of computational biologists here to handle that, but if you're interested, you're more than welcome to learn! You'll work with a group of engineers that are alums of YC, MIT, Harvard, Caltech, Google, Facebook, and more.

We're currently hiring for several software roles including generalists, UI engineers, and QA engineers. Our computational biology group is also always looking for bioinformaticians who are experienced with NGS, and our company is always looking for scientists and engineers (hardware included). Here are some of the job postings we have up, but feel free to email me if you think you're a good fit for another role.

That's awesome! They taught Pascal in my CS undergrad classes.
It might break websites that provide features based on the referrer (eg. a central authentication that redirects back to the original page)
Your intent is obvious to you but only to you, and if you don't find an unambiguous way to encode it into your message, few people are going to get it.

One problem here might be that you're applying the standard of in-person conversation where it doesn't apply, at least not without modification. Interpreting my response, and that of users flagging, as "uptight" is a similar confusion. In person we'd all just laugh at the friendly joke and respond in kind. But the conditions are quite different here, as measured by how frequently such comments turn into brawls, and if we want to keep this place going for thoughtful conversation, we need standards that work on the internet.
Some of it is interests. As mentioned in another thread here, a lot of upper class people have no interest in skills that have vocational value. They consider programming and tech to be blue collar-ish. The amount of time you have to spend dedicated to tech to stay good at it isn't compatible with their lifestyles.

I also find that one of the doors that might be available to someone from a lower class is hedonism. There's a lot of partying going on and if you're willing, that's an avenue to access. I'm not willing.
You just need 2 steps.

Step 1: Be born into money.

Step 2: Put that money into opportunities prescreened by YC.

A lot will fail but there's a few exponents in there too so you can just shotgun anything interesting. Also don't worry if you miss the first round. There's several more rounds before the public gets any chance to invest - if they ever do at all.

I was a paying Pro customer for Lightworks but when I had a very important and conceptually simple project come up - conversion of a large archive of globally unique, 8mm film reels that had been pre-digitized in to cut and labelled portions - the software couldn't cut the mustard and they literally came back to me with a reply like "that is not our use case".

The content was super important stuff - early footage of many areas of the world not otherwise filmed - and was destined for Wikimedia Commons.

It was the worst experience I've ever had with commercial software since Windows 'corrected' an NTFS volume in ~2005 and nixxed the lot. From memory it was something to do with the input codec (beyond my control as lossless was a requirement), the output codec, and the aspect ratio. The software just couldn't cut the stuff. I was left to go back to ffmpeg and VLC. I will never again waste time learning a commercial UI.

Google's revenue is high. Are the advertisers' revenues high? I'm not so sure about that. Are they getting good returns on their investment in advertising? I don't know (presumably, they currently think they are).

Even if they are, will they continue to do so as humans learn to better ignore the newer forms of advertising? They might be in, not exactly a bubble, but a... temporarily working technique, maybe?
> I think there is a difference between knowing the tech enough to list in in a resume, and actually using it.

Of course, but the difference doesn't tend to come across on a recruiter's spreadsheet. Nowadays, I only go by
personal recommendations/references.

Just as an aside, and as an offer of XP: Tech A is largely irrelevant unless you have to execute in, say, 1 month. Success almost never depends on the tech -- it mostly depends on people.
Yeah except that "feeling unwell" is code for a ton of human misery as people lose jobs, lose healthcare, go broke, some even die. And it's disproportionately the working class that feels the effect of recessions.

"Market corrections" might be less of a tragedy if societies like the USA could muster the moral courage to pick up the slack for the market and make people's lives not literally depend on it.

athenahealth (https://www.athenahealth.com/) | Austin, TX | Full-time | Onsite | Dev, Architect, Dev-Manager, UX/Design

Keep hearing about how crappy healthcare software is and how much healthcare is a blood sucking vampire squid on the economy? Come join me at athenahealth! No, not the insurance company that has a different name!

We make electronic health records and practice management software, but that includes a whole heck-of-a-lot of things including the stuff I work on which is web and mobile care-management for literally everyone.

My team specifically needs a mobile software engineer and a web engineer (we have multiple apps running off of React/React Native (some typescript, redux, graphql, git, automated testing), a separate team supports us as platform, so we're front-end client only software). We also are looking for a UX designer to make designs/mockups/prototypes for our scrum team and and lead design decisions for provider (e.g. doctors/nurses/care-managers) facing applications. This is a really really cool opportunity to insert our code, written once, into all parts of existing athenanet applications as well as the potential to leave the walls of our network and impact even more software.

We work in the coolest building downtown (Seaholm Power Plant) and have the coolest people (no jerks need apply).

Additional roles: a software architect and a dev manager! My zone (5 scrum teams) needs an architect and some other zone needs a dev manager. So lots of hiring going on here! Plz email me at either the email listed in my profile or my username at my company's domain.

It's not a waste of time at all. The "why" may become apparent from these studies.
Data Sketches: Sketches Library from Yahoo
This is pretty shocking and sad. I really loved the idea of this company. I don't see this as the 'end' of this idea.
My speculation is that this is a compromise in some sense. The change here aligns with what private session is supposed to be.

Private browsing will(1) start out with no sessions (none from normal browsing mode), (2) provides automatic tracker protection, and (3) will clear sessions (cookies and history) on exit leaving no trace. Private browsing is great for a number of use cases such as debug/test web app with a new session, visit NSFW, or hide the fact you watch cat videos on your puppy-lover friend's computer.

So it makes sense to hide the referrer in private sessions opt-in automatically. As for the normal browsing, you can disable referrer. See [1].

I would like to see more privacy and security options to be shown in the preferences UI. about:config is "okay" but it feels like Windows registry, not good for user experience, even by developer standard when one just want to toggle on/off privacy and security settings.

I'm aware of the difference, but they are both very much integrated into a single UX. The language was what I'm most interested in because writing ZSH is a giant headache even though I've been doing it for years, it'
s still painful. That plus the performance of the shell itself.

I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of values that could provoke the spelling of ‘Tweets’ with a capital ‘T’.
The default # tweets returned is 100, but the max is 500. That’s a $4 penalty for not using the correct API perameter.
Again, what's that relative to car usage?

> by far the most dangerous thing your average american does everyday is get in a car, and that is by a large margin

Not true if the frequency is ignored. Landmines kill fewer Americans, but stepping on one is more dangerous than stepping in a car.
FWIW I've had the exact opposite experience. Called in late at night about a host in Barcelona blowing me off, and within a few minutes had a US-based support rep check the message log and immediately move me into another place along with an additional credit for the problem.
Best way to integrate with stripe is to use their checkout button to get a token instead of receiving CC info directly.

Iirc, still need to use backend code to do the actual charge, but at least you never see any sensitive info.

I think these 'humans are terrible at driving' statements, while true, also forget to mention that 'computers are also terrible at driving'. There are near infinite edge cases in driving a vehicle, and I have yet to see any convincing proof the current machine learning efforts are truly up for the challenge. Edge cases are where computers fail: That general intelligence they're missing is needed to decide what to do. Even Waymo is offloading that to a call center of remote drivers. Humans can definitely be faultier at consistent driving in a way computers are not.

I think the ideal case remains investing in safety systems that ensure inattentiveness of a driver doesn't cause an accident, while still leaving the human in control of the ultimate decision making of a vehicle.
> If the choice is between saving the lives of the poor with corruption vs letting them die without I would choose the former any day.

Corruption inherently makes the system insolvent, and in the worst-case, will result in a major debt if not addressed early on.
Apple’s Photos team seems to be actively working against metadata support. It used to respect EXIF/IPTC information on import, but High Sierra for example completely ignores all metadata dates and sets the time to file modified time. ಠ_ಠ
Snapsheet (Car Insurance) | Full-time | ONSITE | Chicago, IL

We work with the car insurance industry to provide a better claims process for drivers, shops, and carriers. If you've seen a commercial where someone takes out an app after a car accident, they're probably one of our clients. The company is currently in a strong growth phase and just moved to a new larger office, with a focus on controlled rather than hyper growth. Many of our clients are fortune 500 companies, but we're still relatively small with around 300 employees, about half of which work remotely. We're the industry leader in self-service
claims.

Our core stack is React+Rails hosted on AWS/Heroku, but there's plenty of other smaller projects in other languages and stacks and of course our Android and iPhone apps. Our primary product is an internal CRM, but as mentioned it's supported by other more focused ones such as tools for body shops or car rental services.

One of the things I think worth highlighting is bi-weekly hack days, which actually produce things we deploy to production or use as a foundation for other projects rather than sitting on
a local branch gathering dust. We're hiring for just about any role or background, including data science and design.

It sure seems that way. If I understand their copy correctly this looks really really really expensive. I'm assuming the tweets per request is the limit to the result set returned, which is crazy small.

He's saying you can autoinoculate the patient from one pocket to another by using the same probe across your mouth without sterilizing between teeth. It might hasten the spread of periodontitis to areas of the gums it might not have spread to otherwise.

Translation only, I have no data here aside from that my hygienist does seem to use the same probe without doing much between teeth when my gums are measured this way.
VoIP is easily traceable too. Pay with a credit card for the number? Use Google Voice? Bam, they’ve got you.
I don't know how easy that is to compare. Amazon did $60.5bn net sales in Q4/17, and Alibaba did $25.3bn gross merchandise volume on singles day.

I'm finding it hard to know the difference between an Amazon 'net sale' and an Alibaba 'gross merchandise volume'.
Well he does briefly mention the three best-known frameworks for server-side Swift (Vapor, Kitura, and Perfect) in the middle of the piece, when he talks about middleware.

But I think the thrust of this piece is eschewing currently-available frameworks and rethinking what we have come to think a "web framework" should do, and doing those things with a interchangeable plain-vanilla Swift approach, a sort of "Swift-is-my-framework" approach.

(I might be missing something, though, because I've only skimmed the post and added it to my read-later list...)
I don't think that's the whole picture. You could copy an interface (and even implementation) and fork it. But often with NIH we see a reinvention of a technology without even looking at alternatives; often this ends badly (in Linux land much more often than not it seems).
I hope this works for them, .
