GoCardless (YC S11) | London | SRE, Data, Backend, Full-Stack, and Pre-sales/Solutions Engineers | Onsite | Full-time | Visa

GoCardless is building a payments network for the internet. Since 2011 we've been focused on simplifying Direct Debit for small and medium companies (who previously had no access to it) and we've expanded to serve the largest companies (think newspapers, utilities) and connect with existing payment systems in countries all over the world. We already support the UK, Europe and Sweden and are aiming to expand to more countries over the next year.

As an engineering team at GoCardless we care most about stable, reliable, understandable code. We rely on automated testing, code review and a culture of frequent constructive feedback. We define and manage our own roadmap and run projects in whatever way works best for us.

Our stack: Rails, React, Postgres, Elasticsearch, Docker, Chef, Terraform. We also have a bit of Go (for Infrastructure) and Python (for Data).

We love learning new things and contributing back to the community. We open source everything we can[1] and regularly host meetups and hackathons at our wheelchair-accessible office Between Farringdon and Old Street. We have a bi-weekly bookclub within the team and give internal (and external) talks about things that interest us.

Interview process: an intro call, one technical video interview, then a couple of onsite interviews (coding exercise and some chats - no whiteboards!)

L4 Research | Cryptoeconomics Researcher | Anywhere | REMOTE | Full-time

We're doing research on bleeding-edge protocols that will define the future of the internet. Primarily we are focused on state channels research, but we also want to build a team of deeply motivated researchers to study and contribute to the greater understanding of things like proof of stake, Plasma, zk-SNARKs, and more that you might find on https://ethresear.ch.

We immediately aim to turn our research into practical working implementations and open source frameworks that benefit the entire industry.

A 20C discharge rate means that battery claims it can supply 100A @ 7.4V (740W) and be discharged in 3 minutes of operation. I don't have experience with RC batteries, but I'm a little skeptical. That's an awfully fast discharge rate, and a lot of power from a 282g battery.

Kinda feels like I'm I a foreign country and run into someone that speaks my language :). Thanks for the additional info, like frakti, for example...didn't know about that.

Explaining docker is frustrating for me because I was a Unix admin back in the 90's. So, for me, it's pretty easy to see what it is. And, it isn't new. There isn't much it does that Solaris zones or BSD jails, didn't do. And those predate docker by years. Namespaces, cgroups, and pivot_root. That's basically all of it. Kudos to docker for marketing it better.

Explaining it, on the other hand, to a broad audience...

> Apple has been gaining on Intel while both have been improving.

Have they really, though? What lines are actually crossing? Intel's mobile CPUs have continued to shed power, so how much of this is actually Apple "catching up" to Intel vs. Intel just optimizing for power at the cost of performance? As in, is there any performance gap that's actually shrinking, or are phone SoCs just getting more power hungry while laptop ones are getting less power hungry?

Because phone SoCs have gotten rather monsterously power hungry compared to years past. They are actually 5w under real world load parts now, with devices just letting them thermal throttle rapidly to achieve higher burst rates. Laptops, by contrast, are ~10w TDP, vastly less than they were a decade ago.

This would probably make a fascinating in-depth analysis, but the singular data point of a 5w SoC being within spitting distance of a 10w SoC is hardly a revolutionary story. It's pretty much what you expect.
> Facebook is not only bad for Democracy

I'd argue TV and broadcast media is worse for democracy. Facebook at least allows two-way communication and some degree of customization, whereas TV it's just CNN, Fox News, etc telling you how to feel and what to think.
> "Full employment": sounds like 0% unemployment to me, but in fact they target some non-zero value, around 5% I think.

3-5% sounds plausible. Even with full employment, people will be unemployed for short periods of time while they're between jobs. And these phases are going to get more significant in a gig economy, where you don't stay at the same company for 40 years anymore.

Similarly, as a large-scale landlord, you can always expect some 3% of your apartments to be vacant even in markets with high demand because some time passes between the old tenant moving out of an apartment and the new tenant moving in. (Source: My father is working in that business.)

That doesn't surprise me in the least. Grain is very caloric. Cutting grain out of your diet almost certainly means you're eating fewer calories per day.

That said, current nutritional recommendation is 45–65% of your caloric intake should be complex carbohydrates. Now that doesn't necessarily mean grain, but grain is an easy source.

> he inherited an estate worth $100 million. It’s not exactly difficult to turn that into $1 billion (compared to, say, turning $10,000 into $100,000.)

Exactly. Sure if you're trying to revive some old notebook with a Linux distro you're going to face issues (no different to if you try to install the latest MacOS on their earlier machines). With a modern machine, Linux is a very reliable and comfortable OS that doesn't restrict you in terms of hardware. The only minor criticism I have is that it lacks a high quality spreadsheet application like Excel (but with cloud based solutions catching up, that is becoming a non issue).
It also completely ignores any science that goes against vegan orthodoxy. So, take it with a very large grain of salt (and a slice of bacon).
My problem is that I don't know what exactly constitutes "processed food". Like, isn't cooking a steak on a pan constitute a "process" on a food? If processed foods don't consider my steak example, how much process on a food causes it to fall into the unhealthy category you are describing?

I'm not trying to be nit-picky, this seriously is confusing for me (probably no small-part due to marketing).
Information has been a weapon since the dawn of man.
1. You can buy MacBook Pros without the touch bar.

2. Professional photographers for a long time primarily used CompactFlash which has never had built in hardware support. So I can't imagine they are suddenly missing something they never had. It's the prosumers who were the heavy uses of SD cards and who were inconvenienced with the decision. Although most cameras come with WiFi these days so you can see Apple's thinking in removing the port.

3. Using a SD card as external storage is an awful idea. It was never designed for that much IO especially on OSX which can thrash storage devices pretty badly (check fs_usage). Just buy a USB-C enclosure and a 2.5inch hard drive like everyone else. Very cheap and comes in large sizes.
No. Most current grammarians and most style guides do not say that split infinitives are prohibited. Furthermore, in the past when some grammarians said they were not allowed, that were as many or more equally authoritative grammarians who said there was no such rule, and those who did support such a rule never were able to offer a good reason for it.

The only reason one may want to avoid them now is that there were still enough people who were taught from crappy elementary school textbooks that had this bogus rule, and they will think your grammar is bad if you use split infinitives (and they remember enough from elementary school to recognize them).

Just trust your ear. If splitting an infinitive makes a sentence sound clearer, do it.

If someone gives you crap, cite the Oxford Dictionary people [1].

PS: same goes for ending a sentence with a preposition. Sometimes it is clearer to do so. In that case, do it! You can cite Oxford for this, too [2].

In the past, "nutrition" meant "getting enough calories", as in the opposite of malnutrition. Grains are plentiful, cheap calories and so they are "nutritious".

Of course if you cut them out of your diet and still eat the same amounts of everything else you will lose weight, that's just thermodynamics!

>90% of gold's price is investment/speculation, only 10% has real-world usage backing.

I'm not sure I would even give it 10%, but yes, Bitcoin is a lot like gold in that regard. It's not an overly useful metal and it's primary usefulness is to look pretty.

Apple/Adidas's stock price is based on their income statement plus speculation. I would guess the speculation could -/+ the dollar value by 20% or so, but the rest is solidly based on the business.

I don't personally discount intangibles, but they are tricky because they are harder to predict and can be fleeting. Since Bitcoin is mostly speculative (100%?), there's a lot of things that push it down and it's bottom would be effectively $0.
Maybe in the future, but there are plenty of companies that ar around Panera's size that had to get into the online-ordering space before SaaS was as big as it is today.

There is no merit to that approach... it's potentially harmful.

You wouldn't notice the affects of a diet that is devoid of iron for several weeks... you especially wouldn't notice the affects after individual meals. Once you become iron deficient and anemic, you'll start "feeling good" from sugary foods and stimulants that offset the exhaustion from low red blood cells. You wouldn't even feel better from eating iron rich meals until about a week.

There's a similar story for every other vitamin.

Remote and/or onsite.
We’re looking for somebody who can build a modern and secure Mark 2 version of an existing system from the ground up, for a relatively new but booming online investment startup. In this environment, the candidate should be aware of current security practices across the entire stack and be able to implement them without guidance. The candidate should arrive with plenty of energy to drive forward and enforce best coding/engineering practise in a small team (~5).

Just like everybody else, we want a top-quality engineer with an eye for detail as well as an appreciation for timelines… ;) What we can offer you in exchange are super-flexible hours and a competitive salary (and potentially stock options) based on your profile.

-- We expect somebody roughly like this: 10 years+
commercial experience, or, ability to demonstrate that
you have this level of expertise and maturity.
-- You should know your way around, but not be limited
to, PHP, JS, HTML, CSS, SQL, Python, *nix command line
and AWS. We are open to new languages and stack if it
is justified.
-- If you cannot write a basic regular expression from
memory, please do not apply.
-- Knowledge of Spanish would be a big plus.

Which is what scares me. News lately have scared a lot of people into this censorship-supporting mentality and the idea of some sort of thought police.

Mining yields 2% of existing supply every year, and gold isn’t used up (it is reused and recycled), that isn’t insignificant. We also have no idea how much China and Russia are actually mining, there is suspicion that they have a lot more than they say they do. Gold is not all that rare, it is abundant in the earth’s crust, those reserves are just largely inaccessible with today’s tech. See http://www.westcoastplacer.com/how-much-gold-is-left-on-eart....

When you curtail the coal plant, though, you still have the fuel. You’re not wasting it.

Paul Denholm

But what fraction of the LCOE [levelized cost of energy] of a mine-mouth coal plant is the fuel? It’s a small fraction. The cost of the plant is the major component of the LCOE, so when I curtail generation from that coal plant, I’m losing the opportunity to recover the cost of investing in that really expensive asset.

I never considered that running a coal plant below capacity is the same as dumping solar panel energy, economically speaking.

You very much underestimate how large the size of the advertising sector of the economy is. It's over $550B worldwide [1], 5x Google's total revenue, and enough to pay every current Alphabet employee roughly $6M yearly. And Google and Facebook together are taking up 99% of all new add dollars spent (i.e. all the growth in advertising is going to those two).

In 1988 TV & radio broadcasting (all ad-supported) employed close to 400K people, which is roughly 3x what Google, Facebook, and Twitter combined do.

Remember that these companies are all effectively B2B companies - their customers are other businesses, and their product is access to consumers. If you've ever worked on the sales & marketing side of a business, you'll know that a.) companies are willing to spend a lot to gain new customers and b.) spending that money with Google or Facebook is a no-brainer today. These facts are largely hidden from the general public, though, because the average person doesn't like being thought of as a product and wants to believe their consumption choices actually belong to themselves.

As someone who lives on linux and has to touch OSX for things like building for iOS devices, I find it really odd that OSX doesnt just solve these problems like all the FOSS distros do. It's insanely odd that Apple gives me a bash shell which is years out of date, and it feels hacky to just use what i want. I know Propietary and free software kinda have a hard time co-existing on operating systems built on free or mostly free software, but if OSX is half free software and its posix compliant, Its hard to believe that apple couldn't give you both propietary software and an easy package system for developers easily.

The sad thing about linux is that as much as I love it and its ecosystem, i cant recommend it to anyone who wants things to "just work":

- X and wayland crash on me all the time on this laptop because of its HiDPI screen and my kinda-works-but-is-wonky fixes to work with multiple monitors.

- Hardware support is the best its ever been, but graphics cards, wifi, exotic devices, laptop power states and embedded devices can still be a pain because manufacturers simply dont care.

- desktop applications can still be a little glitchy, Web browsers work fine, as do first party DE apps, but the more you get away from things which arent in the big name gui toolkits and have custom controls and behaviour, the more problems you seem to run in.

But aside from all that im happy here in ubuntu. When your software library feels as easy as picking a book from a shelf and 90% of the system updates by the update manager and says "hey restart when you feel like it" Im quite comfortable.
Maybe something for the demo scene.
Not really an excuse when Windows 10 can run most Windows NT4.0 software, can get to run win3.1 and dos apps (which are different OS, not just older versions).

Userspace GNU/Linux is also pretty bad about this, despite the effort put in by Linux.

Ideally these cases would be caught at compile time, by using a rigid set of types.

However in reality it's easier to "defend" against bad input with ArgumentExceptions. Especially if input is a basic string or int, which can be null, negative etc.

I guess it's basically defending your method from errors in the caller method, while also keeping it flexible for the caller, by allow simpler unsafe types like strings.
