numberly | Software Engineer | Paris, France | FULL-TIME | VISA | ONSITE

At numberly, we help our customers collect, analyze and leverage their data across all marketing channels. To do this, we are more than 100 engineers (a quarter of numberly) divided into teams with a human dimension, where we make sure that each one develops a positive influence and can be autonomous. Our sustained growth pushes us to constantly challenge our technical and organizational choices.

Due to our wide range of interconnected products, our technical issues are very varied and often complex. Our daily missions are to process thousands of queries per second, distributed around the world, operate multiple petabytes databases (Big Data™), automate our entire bare-metal infrastructure, and build tomorrow's digital marketing interfaces.

Our ideal candidate profile:

• Significant IT culture and technical curiosity

• Thorough knowledge in at least one back-end and/or front-end stack

• Interest in databases, the world of open-source, and/or DevOps culture

• Good communicator, able to popularize work, defend ideas but also listen to others

• Willingness to progress and to help others progress, technically (meetups, internal training) and humanly

• Good experience using Python and/or Javascript is a plus

• Daily use of Linux is very preferable but not required

• Professional English (our teams are international)

Today, I'm particularly looking for a proficient Front-End Software Engineer to join my team and help us build our new projects on our new Vue.js stack, as well as moving our aging Angular interfaces to shiny Vue.js micro front-ends.

Some examples, out of my head.

- Burroughs, now being sold as Unisys ClearCase, used ESPOL, later replaced by NEWP, which already used the concept of UNSAFE code blocks;

- IBM used PL/8 for their RISC research, before switching to C, when they decide to go commercial selling RISC hardware for UNIX workstations

- VAX/VMS used Bliss

- Xerox PARC started their research in BCPL, eventually moved to Mesa (later upgraded to Mesa/Cedar), these languages are the inspiration for Wirth's Modula-2 and Oberon languages

- OS/400, nowadays known as IBM i, was developed in PL/S. New code started to be replaced by C++. It was probably the first OS to use a kernel level JIT with a portable bytecode for its executables.

BitSavers and Archive web sites are full of scanned papers and manuals from these and other systems.
Funny you say that - those are literally the two thing I've done with my SDR!

Tracking aircraft is pretty fascinating though, if you live near a reasonably busy airport (as I do). Decoding random remotes is also useful - I bought a couple of "Emergency Alarm Buttons", which are very simple battery-powered buttons. I can detect their press and my PC can then stop music, shut off lights, etc.

I've recently learned that the local displays on bus/tram-stops are updated via radio, so my next project is attempt to receive and decode this data. Getting real-time information about buses & trams arriving at the stops near my house. (I can already do this, and have a toy project with an ESP8266 device + LCD screen in my hallway, but that uses the Web-API. I like the idea of using radio-alone.)

That's one backup every hour for 7+ years. I'm really curious about the use case.

Anyway, theoretically[0]:

> As you might know btrfs treats subvolumes as filesystems and hence the number of snapshots is indeed limited: namely by the size of files. According to the btrfs wiki the maximum filesize that can be reached is 2^64 byte == 16 EiB

But it seems practically you're hitting the mud at ~100 snapshots[1] but be sure to read the reply to that mail as it will depend on the use case and it might turn out to be fine way beyond that.

Also check out Firefox's "privacy.resistFingerprinting" [1] and "privacy.firstparty.isolate" [2] prefs in about:config. These are Tor privacy features that Tor and Mozilla are merging into Firefox.

resistFingerprinting reduces the uniqueness of various Firefox properties that are visible to JavaScript and web servers.

First-party isolation will isolate third-party cookies by first-party domain. So Facebook Like buttons on cnn.com will see different cookies than Facebook Like buttons on nytimes.com. Both of these features can break some websites.

Are all Jewish persons zionists and/or communists? Is that being implied in the post?
That's the top level view. A deep dig in the "Laws by state" section shows that some form of ID is still needed.

For example:

Maine: No ID needed at polling place if registered to vote at least one day prior to election. However an ID is required to vote if person was registered to vote on the day of the election

Massachusetts: Non-photographic ID is accepted at polling stations.

Minnesota: Non-photographic ID is accepted at polling stations.

Some of those states are also getting legislation requiring ID for voting.

Accepting responsibility is empowering, because then one can do something about it.

Blaming others for the results of ones own choices is never going to work out well.

The coworker I mentioned insisted he had no choices. Of course he had choices. He could sell the car he was making payments on, and use the proceeds to buy a car he could afford, for example. But he didn't want to hear that, he wanted to be a victim and be mad at the world.

> failure of the labor market

It's not the labor market's fault he overextended his finances.
In a world where OneWeb and/or Starlink exist, how would a service with 10x worse latency compete? Are you betting that both will fail? Otherwise you'll only have a couple of years to recoup the entire cost of your system before it becomes obsolete.
Right, and Saturn is less dense than water because it is mostly composed of air. It's like a sponge with the spongy lattice removed. It's not a solid. (At least, the vast majority of it by volume is not a solid.) That's why it's called a "gas giant".

> For PGP/GPG I feel like that TOFU is what most people are doing anyways, this change will only formalize the 0.90-quantile behaviour.

Yes, probably. Key signing parties used to be a thing. I was able to find one that happened in London in 2014 (no idea how many keys were signed, though). Unfortunately people are not aware of the concept of trust and especially of the fact they delegate trust to these third party CAs. It's just not a proper way to do security.

The TOFU model is the best thing if you actually verify the keys out-of-band. Web of trust is the best way I'm aware of to enable in-band verification. I don't claim that it will actually work in practice. But that's fine. All it means is you can't actually do in-band verification in practice. I think most people here are beginning with the assumption that in-band verification is possible and then criticising WOT for its practical shortcomings which is ridiculous.
Does it? I'd have thought the opposite. The whole idea behind "ride sharing" is not needing to own a car, but being able to benefit from one when needed.

Ouch. The first few days on MAOIs was eye-opening: I realized what it was like for 'other people', and realized why I had felt so misunderstood for so long - I was being misunderstood :) Other people had had no reference to my distress, and I had had no reference of life without it.

I tried all the MAOIs, and ended up on EMSAM - it's Selegilene in a patch form. The other (oral) MAOIs caused such profound drop in blood pressure and pulse pressure that I would frequently get the mid-low 'roaring' tinnitus that is evidence of an event causing permanent hearing damage. I also collapsed several times. I'm getting the roaring now from time to time with the EMSAM, but I really don't have any option but to suffer the hearing loss at this point.

(Fyi: doctors - even ENT specialists aren't aware that low blood pressure - even extremly short term, acute episodes - causes hearing damage, despite a significant body of academic literature on the matter.)

I have been taking it in combination with a modest amount of Provigil and caffeine, under my psychiatrists guidance. Caffeine is a much more powerful stimulant when combined with an MAOI. IMHO, it's the combination of the three that is helping me. If I stop taking either of the stimulants, I start feeling worse after a few days. I'm not cured by any means - yet, however I'm better than I have in memory. My SO concurs, too.

(I've been on EMSAM since ~September. I spent the rest of last year going on and off all the others)

IMHO, you may want to try it in combination with other drugs. Stimulants worked for me, but I'm on the ADHD spectrum, which may have something to do with it.
This is interesting. About 2 years ago, I emailed or perhaps filled up their contact form that it would be a good idea to do this for India. India road/traffic condition is so bad and there is no formal/official importance given to Ambulances. If Uber taxis can serve as on-demand ambulances-esque services when needed, it will likely save a lot of lives.

I really wish I could get over my irrational fear that using an UUID will one day result in a collision and the associated data integrity issue when an update silently overwrites an unrelated record, where as the old sequential sequence never has this risk.

"We did data-driven cluster analysis (k-means and hierarchical clustering) in patients with newly diagnosed diabetes (n=8980) from the Swedish All New Diabetics in Scania cohort. Clusters were based on six variables (glutamate decarboxylase antibodies, age at diagnosis, BMI, HbA1c, and homoeostatic model assessment 2 estimates of β-cell function and insulin resistance), and were related to prospective data from patient records on development of complications and prescription of medication. Replication was done in three independent cohorts: the Scania Diabetes Registry (n=1466), All New Diabetics in Uppsala (n=844), and Diabetes Registry Vaasa (n=3485). Cox regression and logistic regression were used to compare time to medication, time to reaching the treatment goal, and risk of diabetic complications and genetic associations"

k-means and hierarchical clustering are notoriously prone to producing false positive clusters.

Free remote administration for business. LiteManager
Hello,
I know little about remote administration. We need to control 20 computers. Several programs have been found like Dameware, VNС and Litemanager, etc.
But many are paid or expensive. And I know Teammviewer was hacking. Our choice was based on the app (litemanager). Because there is a free version for 30 PCs in business.
I hope this is a worthy alternative, but I would like to make sure.
Who can tell about remote administration with Litemanager? Safely?
Thank you for your advice!
One thing I don't like about this is it looks like they consider countries that require an ETA to be visa free, which I don't agree with. To me that's still basically a visa.
You could add a fourth under certain conditions:

Say one parent is German and the other is British, and the child was born in Brazil. If the kid is entitled to Israeli citizenship under the Law of Return, they get to keep all four.
Correct, but if Japanese people typically committed crime when in the US, then the US would want to limit the amount of them that enter and evaluate those people before coming.

100 megawatt per hour is a rate of increase of power that means the total amount of energy proportional to the square of the time. I find it unlikely that a reasonable sized vehicle could sustain that rate of increase for long. After ten hours, the power would be 1GW, which would be sufficient to make the vehicle glow quite brightly. The vehicle would have used 5GWh of energy, the equivalent of 50000 battery packs of a Tesla 2017 Model S 100D.

To quote Nietzsche, "Those who fight Monsters should look to it that they do not become Monsters themselves".

In other words, people who "battle sexism and discrimination" can very well tip over and become sexist and discriminatory in the attempt to fix those exact issues.

They can become Monsters too.

The second part of this quote applies to. "If you stare long enough into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you".

If you fight sexism and discrimination long enough, you yourself will go under the spotlight and you'll eventually be judged for what you did. Whether good or evil.

There's lots of things which are called copy on write, where CoW means really copy-on-deduplication-otherwise-update-in-place. Like qcow2 filesystem. Or Cow type in Rust.
The two most obvious reasons to assume so are that btrfs is in comparison relatively new and quite complex. Not to say zfs isn't complex, but I'd rather trust zfs just because of its age.

That being said, unless I really need those specific features, I go for ext4 whenever possible, as it has to be the most battle tested one, at least when it comes to *nix. It also seems that fsck.ext4 has almost magical powers sometimes, but that shouldn't stop you from making backups obviously.

Maine's law is pretty weak. All one has to do is register more than a day before the election and then they don't need an ID. I don't know how easy it is to register in Maine, but California is laughably easy. Just check the boxes saying that you don't have an ID, SSN, address or phone number, and then you can register with very little information.

For privacy, on a linux box are there any downsides to simply creating one or more extra accounts, and running Firefox in them for privacy ('DISPLAY=:0 firefox')?. I use this approach to set up firefox as I like it on a spare account, then copy '.mozilla' to '.mozilla-base'. Then it's just a simple case of 'su -l guest' and (via a script) 'rm -fr ~/.mozilla; cp -a ~/.mozilla_base .mozilla; DISPLAY=:0 firefox; rm -fr ~/.mozilla' (actually the script deletes the local cache as well).

Net effect is that firefox starts exactly as I like, but forgets everything that happened in the session ('groundhog-day mode').

Edit: added 'su -l' step.

Edit: As an adendum, note that this technique can be extended to the complete 'guest' accounts as well, e.g. 'cd /home; rm -fr guest; cp -a guest.base guest; su -l guest'; the entire 'guest' account is then 'groundhog-dayed'.

#!/bin/sh
#
export DISPLAY=:0
# Set up clean copy
cd ~
rm -fr .mozilla
cp -a .mozilla_base .mozilla
cd - > /dev/null
#
/usr/local/bin/firefox $@
#
echo "Holding...."
sleep 2
echo "Cleaning...."
# Clean out junk (so we start clean next time)

rm -fr .mozilla .cache/mozilla*
rm -fr .adobe
