San Francisco, CA | REMOTE OK in the US | US based only | Experienced Full Stack Rails Developer | Stitch Fix | Full-time

Hello, we're continuing to do a ton of hiring at Stitch Fix. I'm responsible for a small team working on cross functional projects; Last year we worked on expanding Stitch Fix to support Mens clothing, and then we also built the engine that drives Stitch Fix's Style Profile and made it more flexible. We work closely with the Data Science team, and our goal is always to serve our customers better using the information they provided while not being creepy :-)

Stitch Fix is a clothing / style personalization service. Search Instagram for #stitchfix, which will tell you a whole lot about us, how much our customers love us and you'll get an idea of our business. Come back when you're done.

There are a slew of other super interesting open dev roles across Stitch Fix, including in:

* the Consumer Facing team
* the Warehouse Tools teams
* the Styling Tools teams
* (and many others)

You can reach out directly to me (gal at stitchfix.com) - I'm a Principal Engineer and a hiring manager at Stitch Fix. Here is a job posting roughly covering the role I'm hiring for: https://www.stitchfix.com/careers?gh_jid=455296&gh_src=r8m5v
Stitch Fix's "Multithreaded" Tech Jobs blog & site (http://technology.stitchfix.com) has a lot more about the team and other positions (we’re also hiring iOS, DevOps, and UX)

I moved from one EU country to another - no visas needed. I just needed to register as self-employed in the new country and started paying tax there instead.
It could be something like the WU-14 that China's developing.

In addition to the maneuverability aspect, my understanding is that such weapons also target an altitude that current US antimissile systems aren't designed to operate at. IIRC, there's a gap between the top altitude of one of the systems and the bottom altitude of the other.

Or does G Suite here includes Gmail+Google services?
I had the opposite impression. Dropbox sync was constantly making conflict files while Google Drive Sync (now replaced by File Stream) was able to more gracefully determine which file was newer. File stream adds the benefit of just keeping a stub file on all of my machines, then not actually downloading the file until I need it (you can, of course, specify which folders to always keep a downloaded copy of).

Have you considered the SE? It's been a pretty reliable phone, it's durable, has a lot of the nicer features of the newer models, but still has a headphone jack, a decent battery life (though my battery is in need of a replacement after 2 years) and is fairly inexpensive.
If you're going to applaud apple for "doing the right thing for customers", it might be good to think about apple's history. When during the last decade has apple ever not tried to ignore severe hardware issues before they lost a lawsuit? Apple has mistreated customers for a long time. They can get away it because their customers have few high end alternatives.

The truth is that they make calculated decisions whether ignoring the issue, or responding to the issue will be more beneficial to them financially and public opinion wise. This time they decided that the fallout from evidence of possible planned obsolescence—intentional or not—combined with the fact that a lost lawsuit was likely, and the fact that smartphone sales have fallen for the first time ever, would be financially more painful than compensating their customers.
Fintech Disrupts the Hiring of Freelancers and Consultants
This is how it works places where I've been in my career. Without getting into details, they have a few set scores and there isn't much of a range. Unless you get all top marks—no raise. If you receive less than average—no cost of living adjustment.

Typically what you'll see is 2% increase a year if you're a moderate/good employee. It takes a special effort to not be, and it's basically impossible to be above that in their books, and especially in most roles.

They also often tie specific job titles to salary grades, so there's a black box facing you in terms of what your manager is allowed to pay. Couple that with yearly culling of the fleet and you've got a pretty tough space to navigate if you just want to advance at your role.

You either have to be promoted to receive a raise, or be hired in at a higher rate.
Google really only suceeds in building extremely technical products that are much better functionally than competitors. This technology & functional advantage nets them the runway to get the UX people to fix the glaring interface issues before competitors have a working product. Examples: search, gmail, maps. They have never really been able to do a classic strategy of copying or implementing a mundane piece of software.

Like, chat for google should be easy. A social network should have been easy. A product search/market place should have been easy.

This product will be a terrible addition to the unintelligible quagmire that is chat.
I Cut, You Choose: A new method of redistricting could solve gerrymandering
The trick is to detect obstacles that are likely to have minimal affect on the global result of pathfinding search, e.g. convex obstacles that are in the middle of open spaces, or, more specifically in the case of PathEngine, obstacles that don't combine with other nearby obstacles to form larger blockages.

After the initial graph search, the path is modified to avoid these obstacles locally (by pushing the path around the obstacles, essentially), before it's returned from the pathfinding query.

So the way it's set up in PathEngine this optimisation is largely hidden from application code (code that calls into the pathfinding API).

Leaving this to be handled later on, by agent local obstacle avoidance, could also work..
Docracy Is Shutting Down
This looks good, but it reminds me of a problem I've noticed in this situation: the truncated cells have virtually no information.

Take this example data:

999995
999998
999999

Imagine we have 5 display digits available; the default method is to display

99999
99999
99999

But it might be better to show the distinguishing digit. eg:

99..5
99..8
99..9

However I don't know what the best design or display pattern for that would be.

Goodness.

You mean the website full of russian, chinese, european and american propagandists where you can't take anything seriously? Where anyone can pretend to be anything and lie all day long? Did you write that reddit comment?

> sorry my English sucks

Going through your comment history, your english is fine. I don't know why you are pretending and faking as if your english sucks.

> I tried my best to write in English. As a native Chinese,

I thought native chinese couldn't speak? "People in China cannot speak. We have to speak for them somehow. "

> I can't stop to feel pessimistic about the future, hell, now I know we are doomed, it'll be easier to suffer if just push me off the building instead of letting me watch it burning for decades.

Is this for real? Are you gordon chang?
Nope, any contempt would have only been after the other developer displayed his contempt for productive use of shareholders money. I always find it funny how so many people seem to think that is a matter of opinion rather than a matter of fact.
I've often wondered whether this dynamic is exactly the reason tech culture is ageist

No, it really, really isn’t. Maybe 1 in 1000 cases are like you describe but the rest is just that older engineers are harder to exploit.

I actually agree. As a salaried employee, most of the time I look for a jobs that I barely have the requirements to get my foot in the door. That's the only way I can learn. If it takes me 12 hours to do a task that would only take me 8 hours if I had the experience in that technology, I don't mind working 12 hours to deliver 8 hours worth of work.

The few stints of contracting I have had, I knew close to 100% of the technologies I am working in. If not, I wouldn't bill for learning time.

The Web Is Changing: Introducing Experience Express
It's just my hyperbolic take on the many testimonies I've read by single founders who make SaaS products for businesses and rake in X0,000 per month. And then patio11 shows up and tells them to charge a lot more, so they do, and it works.
In my experiences, they're in and out pretty quickly. I didn't feel rushed but certainly not the mellow chit-chat I've experienced in the past when I visit my regular doctor where I used to live.

My cost is $20 per visit for the copay - I guess they bill the insurance company in the same way as if you'd gone into the practice.

We tried matching against known elements (template matching), but unfortunately that didn't hold up well given the large number of resolutions games support.

One problem is that the elements themselves don't necessarily scale proportionally. For example, if you have a button with some text in it and you reduce the resolution, often the game will keep the text larger but reduce the padding around the text. This makes template matching tough.

We found blob detection works pretty reliably and uses minimally CPU, but we're not CV experts so if anyone has other ideas we'd love to hear them!

There's a difference between pursuing thinness in R&D and releasing a thin product that cannot be repaired in the field.

True story: the other day I was on a trip when my wife's Macbook Air started to rock back and forth on the surface it was sitting on. The battery had failed. It was still working, i.e. providing power, but it had started to bulge. (This turns out to be a known problem.) There was so much pressure that the keyboard and bottom case were visibly deformed. But it was impossible for me to open the case and get the battery out because I didn't have the right pentalobe screwdriver with me. Fortunately, we were able to find a Mac repair shop that was able to get the battery out before it caught fire or exploded. (But we were very lucky. We do a lot of traveling to places that lack this kind of infrastructure.)

What they were not able to do was recycle the battery because they didn't have a replacement, so they could not open an official repair ticket. So we had to take the bad battery, still fully charged despite being blown up like a balloon, with us on an airplane so we could take it home and dispose of it properly.

It's perfectly fine if Apple wants to offer products like this for people who want to trade off volume for field-repairability. What irks me is that Apple no longer offers any choice in this. My choices today are non-repariable, or Windows (or Linux, but that is not a viable option for my non-geek wife). Those are pretty sucky choices.

> Why not only for value delivered?

Propose a good way to measure that. I tend to agree with you, but in so many companies, what you deliver often gets impacted by so many other decisions that the final 'value' of a project is minimal, but it's because of decisions outside your control.

If people only paid me based on the value they got out of what I delivered, many would find a way to weight the measuring to leave me short. "Hollywood accounting" springs to mind - blockbuster movies somehow lose money.
My hearing isn't quite that good, but my wife would ascribe to me similar behavior.

> Pushing for a smaller laptop made possible the iPhone

When the iPhone came out, this was the 13" MB you'd get: https://everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/specs/macbook-cor...

Compared to a whole slew of Ultrabooks, and other 13" laptops which were smaller. I'm not sure how you get that Apple's drive for smaller laptops made the iPhone possible (given that it's form factor, LG Pradas, etc., were also quite widely available at the same time) - I don't see the size innovation here that you seem to be.
In France, the competitive exams to major schools are not only done on paper, but you have no access to a computer whatsoever.

I was initially surprised at the idea, since it means that errors that can immediately be found on a computer (using a wrong library function, edge conditions on loops, ...) are easy to miss.
Seems to me that Digicert is tactically forgetting to say what they said to Trustico.

Additionally there's not an issue with Trustico having access to the private keys. It simply means you are trusting Trustico and if you accept that it's no different from trusting Google or Facebook or your bank with your private data.
The comments made about the government about excluding IBM from making future systems for the government stood out.

We have some ideas for dealing with single player games like putting an overlay over the screen or slowly grayscaling it, but we've decided to focus on multiplayer games for now. I also kind of like this Tolstoy idea...
Isn't whack-a-mole good enough though? How many examples do we have through history of a large centralized organization being bled to death (or at least harassed to the point of giving up) by trying to wipe out a shifting coalition of resistance groups with no central authority? Rome vs Jewish rebels/Celtic tribes, Imperial China vs Mongolian warlords, first France, then the USA vs Vietnamese rebels (even China took a shot but I don't know if that counts since it was post-unification), the USSR vs Afghani warlords, the USA vs Afghani warlords, any future empire that tries to occupy Afghanistan... I would bet dollars to doughnuts that every centralized authority in the history of human civilization has lost a game of whack-a-mole at least once.
