Built For Me Inc. | Seattle, New York, San Francisco, Remote (US-only) | Senior Front-end Software Engineer | Full Time | $150k-$225k

Who we are: We are a small company loathe to use the word “startup”. The phrase that most aptly describes us is “boutique consulting firm” as we are currently working on select software consulting projects and have a long term vision to build a stand-alone product in about 6 months. The future product will focus on enabling business workflows and growing workplace productivity. We are being smart in our approach balancing software consulting with our own product. We balance both to pay ourselves well and support our vision for the future. We're looking to get one final person in place to help us build our product, and that is hopefully you.

We are incredibly selective (who isn't?) and we are really quite small. We've blogged about our hiring process and we've blogged about our funnel. The reality is we've optimized our hiring process to filter first, before a call. We're sorry this is the case; it would be really nice to meet everyone, but we simply don't have the time to do that while also working on our business. We try to be as transparent as we can be about our process, but if it doesn't work for you we'd love to hear from you when we're bigger and having a recruiting division who will be able to do a call first approach. We have a vision of a product but we don't have one yet, so we can't point you to it. Sorry!

Also, we're forthright about this (see the first line of this post) but we really and truly only hire employees authorized to work in the US. We're not large enough to want to deal with non-US tax jurisdictions, and we're not looking for 1099 contractors at this time.

Who you are: An incredibly motivated, amazingly talented full stack engineer whose abilities truly shine on the front end. You know React, Webpack, CSS, Sass, JSX, and the other standard front-end technologies we don't. You are a self-starter who can work with little supervision. You are meticulous about details and sufficiently passionate to get things done, yet know when to pivot to a more experimental move-fast mode. You should be a great teammate who looks to make your colleagues more productive because you know they are doing the same for you. You love the state-of-the-art and yet understand the danger of being there and can articulate the reasons why.

I moved to Tokyo, rented a room, and registered with a couple of staffing agencies that specialize in IT jobs for foreigners (one of which wound up hiring me internally). You need a a 4 year degree or 10 years work experience to qualify for the working visa. Happy to recommend a local IT recruiter if anyone wants.
Kotlin Native might have a chance, and it looks like they are targeting embedded. But the rest aren't good fits: Anything with a GC is a no-go for serious MCU development. You just can't optimize the code deep enough. Swift's reference count system might be interesting... would be curious if you could target Swift for something like a M4 or M3.

Rust is the only low level systems language that really has a chance to complete with C/C++ in the space: it's mature, has a great community that's sizable, etc.

(I'm talking about using Rust for professional embedded projects... I LOVE micropython as a hobby)

I participated in a few programming competitions in college where paper programming is a must.

There are typically 3 members on each team but only one computer.

Our strategy involved first finding the easiest problem in the set and handing it over to our fastest typer to solve. In parallel, the other 2 members ranked and categorized (graph search, DP, arithmetic, etc.) the remaining problems. We then proceeded to split the problems based on our strengths and difficulty.

Obviously, while the computer was occupied, the rest of the team had to design and type out their solutions on paper. Once a solution is ready, that member gets priority to use the computer.

In my experience, at least in a competitive setting, writing code on paper tends to minimize common mistakes, especially once you get used to it. By the time you type it out, you'll have addressed most of the issues, so the code should (hopefully) compile and run with little modification.
Brood War does this all the time. The pathing is notoriously bad[1] and nothing has been done to fix it because it's not a problem. It allows players extinguish themselves by working with the weird behaviors.

It could be worse.

I used to work for the state of Kansas and we had most of this, except we didn’t get raises, nor were non-performers culled out. We probably lost a month of productivity each year due to the work and anxiety the process caused, yet the process had no bearing on anything.
Forgive my ignorance, but how does a device capable of storing something like 127 keys help a CA whom should have been storing zero client keys? Do you mean for their own keys?
> It doesn't follow that a "single monolithic ledger" means Bitcoin is decentralized

Oh, I never mentioned that. But the implication of the single, monolithic ledger is that it isn't partition-tolerant, if you don't have access to the ledger, you can't transact.

IIRC, the lightning network kinda addresses that by allowing off-central-ledger transactions.
What version of iOS are you running? I have an iPhone 6 which I absolutely loved until I made the mistake of upgrading to iOS11 recently.
He mentioned optimizing it for x64 assembly. The original ran on old 32-bit processors. There were a lot fewer registers available back then and SSE hadn't even been released. Compilers weren't as smart either twenty years ago.
Are you referring to iPhones? The current iOS version works with all phones introduced since 2012.

I don't remember any Android manufacturer besides Google promising updates and there is only for 18 months.
Smooth collisions part 1: disk versus segment
I've taken the same approach as well. Rather than measuring my success through performance ratings, raises and promotions, I've jumped off that treadmill and now focus on what I want learn based on my long term career goals. Build a resume that gets you the roles you want in the future.

And I'm saying this as someone who has had very good performance reviews in the past.
Pretty decent, alternative approach is to form virtual "formations" when units near each other and move as blocs. This removes multiple problems like units bumping into each other on the way and is kind of the behaviour a strategy player would expect. On obstruction, make neighbours slow down and indeed use obstruction avoidance (local pathfinding) to "squish" the formations. Return to these later when possible.

Marching squares indeed produces a similar result of "squishing". However as it is ran per unit you will have more collisions.
how do they know that it's not the reverse: that the changes in the brain they observe cause long term depression?
Ask HN: Video Marketing Startup?
Our clients, primarily high achieving real estate & mortgage professionals, win by regularly engaging their database to raise awareness, provide value & secure referrals.

What are the most compelling startups working on producing, editing & distributing video via email, social networks, etc?

Details:
1. We would create one kickass video each month to be pushed to each client's network.
2. Personalized video intro & exits by individual clients need be recorded & edited into primary video ( A top real estate broker, for example, will not send a generic video to their trusted database )
3. Live links to request information, schedule appointment, etc. need appear at video's end.
4. Share functionality is huge, so the clients network of 600 can one-click share/produce network effects.

Last month I was told I'd be docked a portion of my COLA because my time estimates were always longer than my actual work time. This was because management NEVER, EVER gives me anything close to a specification to estimate properly from. So, I tend over estimate.

Looked at another way, I was docked because I consistently outperform estimated time to delivery, which means the company actually makes more money off my work because we charge our customers for development work.

So, what do I think of performance appraisals at my work place? I'm actively looking for other work.

I also believe that performance appraisals, for anything but bottom rung employees, are currently done one way only. They should be done from both perspectives. The managed employees reporting to the managers boss. This way, ineffectual middle managers can be disposed of.
curious too
I'm well into my 40s with numerous kids and I still drive to the pizza place to pickup whenever I order. I never understood delivery unless there is some urgent need to stay home.
"...all employees must have goals for their year..."

In all seriousness, this type of appraisal process always confused me.

What are some examples of measurable goals that a rank-and-file "Member of The Technical Staff" can come up with on their own, seeing as they likely don't have much choice re the projects they work on, the teams they are in, etc.?

Crafting a Life
In 4.0, transactions will just be across replica-sets. The following release will have transactions across the entire sharded cluster (across multiple primaries).
It's fair that there's been an increased expectation of near-immediate gratification. As a result, although a fair number of restaurants in cities have long offered delivery, it's not clear that ad hoc delivery on a restaurant-by-restaurant basis necessarily scales to this new world.

It will probably vary by location though. I live about 40 miles out of Boston and adjacent to a couple smaller cities. I have basically no food delivery options.
Gate keeping is only obsolete when it ceases to have impact. The reality right now is that ML is extremely hard to enter even for a very knowledgeable and deeply experienced but non-credentialed (by degree) person.

It will be interesting to see how the situation evolves but my own observations are that people trying to enter the space might be better off getting a quickie masters if they can afford the time or cost than to try and bootstrap it.

I think philosophy and sociology are still poor examples - for the most part those subjects are reading, writing, and thinking. When I think of tedious fields that require mostly memorization, I think of medicine and law.

> is as thin as physically possible

There are good reasons for pursuing thinness. One, it naturally puts you (through accumulated R&D, supply chain and design know-how) on the leading edge of miniaturisation, a resiliant multi-decades long trend in technology. Pushing for a smaller laptop made possible the iPhone; pushing for a smaller iPhone made possible the Apple Watch, et cetera. (Thinner, lighter devices also have a demonstrated ability to increase usage, by being lighter to hold up.) It’s a design philosophy built into a longer-term strategy.

SentiLink | Backend, Security, and Machine Learning Engineers | San Francisco | ONSITE

SentiLink is reinventing identity, beginning with financial services in the United States. The current system is broken: SSN's are used as both a username and a password, but after repeated data breaches are also effectively semi-public. Identity-verification data isn't shared, so the same fraudsters target every company and consumers have to continually reverify themselves with different institutions. Billions of dollars are lost every year to criminals who are very rarely caught or punished. SentiLink is building the arbiter of identity to bring identity into the 21st century.

Our investors include former co-founders and C-level execs at PayPal, Palantir, Affirm, Visa, and Citibank, including Max Levchin (SciFi) and Hans Morris (Nyca Partners).

Apply here: https://angel.co/sentilink/jobs or email me (first name at sentilink.com).
A couple of reasons:

1. It may be difficult/expensive to arrange for the correct set of source subnets to be available at the points where filtering needs to be done. Motivation to perform egress filtering fails to overcome this cost threshold.

2. Fear that some customers are actually (probably without realizing) relying on alien source address traffic being routed. Therefore filtering that traffic would result in unhappy customers and support workload.

In our network over the years I've come across several instances where it turned out we were (erroneously) relying on one of our upstream providers routing traffic with source IP from another provider's network. Since policy-based source IP selection on outbound traffic is quite tricky to setup and get right, I can imagine that ISPs would take the easy way out and just pass the traffic.

Our team is flexible, and generalists with a sense of individual responsibility are welcome. Email apply+hn@proxy.co or reach out to the founders directly and tell us what you have built.
Very good of you indeed, but it's a hard task to retroactively change how a system and the greater community around it behaves and how standards like POSIX have defined field separation syntax for decades. I wouldn't mind if make supported spaces in filenames, but the thing is it's a bit late now and the problem is too unimportant to bother solving, frankly.

Cost of Living Adjustment.
I have been using Bookmark OS for some time now and really like it https://bookmarkos.com
ISPs absolutely could, but having worked near this space previously, it really isn't as easy as it sounds, both the detection and the mitigation, and ISPs are not particularly equipped to handle it themselves right now. There's a lot of money to be made there, though.
I was a supporter of Bernie and he planned to do the same thing, for basically the same reasons. He didn't pick this unilaterally either, the Commerce department recommended it.
And I suppose when encountering them (since they were culled not truly removed) switching to a backup collision avoidance mechanism or replanning?
Cost of Living Allowance. It's basically the bare minimum of raises that one can get. If that's all the company was planning on giving you to start with, then you're working for a crappy company.
Citizen friendly laws, good economy ...
Security requires that ALL CAs be secure, since any compromised CA can compromise all websites (barring fragile schemes like pinning or certificate transparency checks), so the less CAs there are, the more secure the system is.

It's like a building that needs secure doors: it's better to invest in a single, massive, bulletproof, guarded door rather than inviting anyone who meets some standards to add a door to the building, since what matters is the weakest door.
