Truss | Software Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer | San Francisco or REMOTE | https://truss.works

Particularly interested in Ruby/React and Javascript/React at this time.

Truss solves complex technical problems for the private sector and government. We helped rebuild Healthcare.gov after its public failure in 2013. We seek the highest standard both in terms of the technology we build, and the way we run our company. We'd love to chat with you.

We are a software consultancy known for pragmatism, autonomy, expertise, and trust. We build strong relationships with our clients, contractors, and employees and we believe that this is fundamental to doing great work. As a Truss engineer you will facilitate bringing Truss values (https://truss.works/values/) to those truly trying to make a difference in our government, and enable them to understand what their citizens actually need rather than implementing a perceived solution.

Here are some of the things we care about:
* Great communication! Including thoughtful listening skills, the ability to express complex ideas clearly and succinctly, and the ability to communicate well in writing
* The ability to deal well with ambiguity and act with autonomy
* Technology-agnostic and pragmatic engineering sensibility, focused on solving key problems for the customer, not the tools
* Proficiency in at least one commonly used programming language, such as Python, Ruby, Go, Javascript, Java, etc.
* Experience deploying at least one application that other people use
* Have held at least one engineering position post-education
* Initiative, curiosity, a bias for action, and a problem-solving attitude

We expect all Truss engineers to consistently develop new skills, and cross-train into new disciplines outside of their current areas of expertise.

Who said anything about energy usage. People don't care about their energy usage, they only care about what they get from it. Every time we make something more efficient we don't save energy, people just take more.
Smarkets | Full Time | ONSITE (London, UK; now also Downtown LA, California)

We're a modern betting exchange, going technology first to enable proper price competition in a field of fat commissions. Join a small, agile, and fast-growing team, in our beautiful office in St. Katharine Docks. If our US location tickles your fancy, you get to help setting up a brand new office too.

Smarkets develops a reliable, low-latency, highly concurrent betting exchange based on trading exchange designs. We're also building a fast, modern web interface to allow for a smoother experience. Servicing our users is top priority.

The Smarkets platform is written predominantly in Python, Erlang (being replaced with C++) and Javascript for React, relying heavily on asynchronous programming techniques. We use REST where we can. Life at Smarkets circles around people, version control, configuration management and automation. We can - and do - deploy to production several times a day.

Our entire production is in AWS. In fact, Smarkets was the first gambling operator under the Maltese regulator to get permission to run everything in the cloud. We push the envelope where needed and educate auditors when necessary.

We are looking for engineering talent in the following roles:

* [Senior] Front-end Engineer - React; London & LA
* Data Engineer; London
* Senior Backend Engineer; London
* Low-Latency C++ Engineer; London
* Generalist Software Engineer; London & LA
* Senior Security Engineer; London
* [Senior] Mobile Developer; LA

Windfall Data | Lead Data Scientist, Data Engineer | SF | Full Time | ONSITE or REMOTE (US-based only)

At Windfall, our goal is to determine the net worth of every person in the world. Its a super hard problem with broad applications. We work with hundreds of non-profit organizations across the US to help them better understand and engage their donors. We also work with for-profit companies in a wide array of industries (finance, travel, hospitality & gaming, luxury goods, etc) to help them better understand their clientele and targeting affluent households for net-new acquisition.

Our team is still fairly small so every new hire will have the ability to make a huge impact!

We're looking for:

* An experienced data scientist to lead our team in developing our predictive models. Data and data science are core to our business, so this role will be incredibly influential in the success of the company.

* A seasoned backend/data engineer to help build our data pipeline and other infrastructure.

Roles are onsite in SF, or remote (US only) for the right candidate with prior remote work experience.

> How would that better environment look?

Come on, what kind of question is that? If I knew how to improve it I wouldn't be chatting here with you, I would be doing something about it.

Also, you should probably watch Bret Victor's videos, especially "The Future of Programming", if only to realize that we have been improving the programming environment since the days of punch cards, and are still in the process of doing so.

It's not really a thermodynamics problem. We're not trying to get rid of excess energy in a system, we're trying to get rid of carbon. We need to do something roughly equivalent to growing massive tropical rainforests and burying them over and over again.
I agree, and I don't blame the left as much as I blame the right. I do however think that exacerbating the divide is a bad thing.

Based on the article it seems students are being drawn from around the district from the lowest performing schools, rather than from the area around the school.
GitHub Commit Forgery
There are two claims here (ice caps melt + NYC underwater).

I don't think either is even something claimed by the movie, which is a movie. And it's certainly not peer-reviewed science. (Reference for ice caps claim: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ice-caps-melt-gore-2014/, and note, "caps" as you wrote it would imply the entire Antarctic was melting by 2012, which is of course crazy.)
Source title has “...Video Game Obsession...”, changing it to “...Video Game Playing...” is misleading; the content is not about how all kids game play is about unmet psychological needs in the trivial sense that all human activity is about such needs, but how while moderate play is normal, obsessive gameplay is about deeper, non-game-specific psychological needs that aren't being addressed with
elsewhere in the kids' lives.

How do PPAD-complete problems relate to P=NP/NP-complete problems/etc., if they do at all? Your description of PPAD-complete problems reminds me a lot of descriptions I've read of NP-related problems, but this is the first time I've heard of the term "PPAD".

What useful things does the US federal government do with all that land?
Thank you for bringing this up!
I feel like this article underestimates the difficulty of stopping climate change. Would China have remained poor, if in the 1980's a better anti-climate-change treaty had been signed? Would the world have discovered better clean technology? There is a tendency to assume that treaties just solve the problem. I suspect that a different treaty would have failed, just like current negotiations are failing, because of the immense cost of slowing climate change.
Because we aren't trying to win an argument here. It isn't about being in the right or winning, it is about successfully running a country.

Oddly enough, it’s usually the people not actually involved who are the experts on why we need to take more away from them.
Anecdotal experiences are near worthless when discussing policies, though. Feel insulted all you like; statistically speaking, these resources are wasted. Chances are you'd be equally well off without them.

>Google at this point is 80k+ full-time-employees, that I can guarantee will read that phrase to mean different things.

It's not like this matters. Those 80k+ employees are not the one's that take decisions anyway, their superiors are, and any major bad thing Google does is highlighted from way above.

And it's not necessary for those employees to understand "don't be evil" to mean something particular. It's enough that they moral standards. If they do, they can see what's evil and what's not. If not, whatever the code of conduct was writing wouldn't matter.

No open source license will allow you to maintain control over the project.

If you can imagine having any proprietary interest in the project --- some line of business or donation revenue stream built on your thing that will naturally go to you --- you probably want to GPL. GPL adds use restrictions that make it difficult (though not impossible) to commercialize open source software, and those restrictions will apply only to your downstream users (you are not bound by the GPL for code you own and can relicense it as you see fit). This is part of the business model for a lot of open source companies.

If you want to go really nuts with that, look at AGPL, which imposes even more restrictions. People are generally cool about GPL and less cool about AGPL.

If you don't care about any of that, MIT license is the most normal choice.
There is a balance between number of available jobs and the pay. Go is the top paying job but you may find yourself being unemployed for awhile or stuck at a job you don't want looking for Go jobs.

Ruby may pay more but once you get to the higher end of the scale, you'll find many fewer jobs paying the amount you want.

EDIT:

In 2008, after being at one company way too long, I was what would be considered a top C developer and there was a company offering me $20K more than I was a making. But I saw the pickings were slim. There were more jobs paying the same amount for “Enterprise C# developers”. But I wasn’t qualified for them. I took a job paying only $7K more than I was making as a high entry level C# developer.

10 years later, there are no jobs in my local market paying $65K more than I was making in 2008 for C or C++ developers. There are some paying C# developers that amount (I have one).

I’m not bragging. According to all of the data I can gather, I’m making the median for my market for a “.Net Architect”.
Longer school days help parents hold down full time jobs. A longer school year eliminates the need for babysitters or camps in the 10-12wk summer break, and also provides continuity of curriculum. Food is pretty easy and many schools are providing at least two meals already. A good number have things like backpack programs[1], also, to send food home (either in the evening or more commonly for the weekend).

Given the audience of the magazine in question, writing the headline to focus on how young he is (which tells us nothing in relation to quantum computing) instead of the fact that this is a grad student (which DOES tell us something: it gives readers a frame of reference in terms of this person's academic knowledge and skillsets) is disappointing at best, and clickbait at worst.
One company is in control of the TLDs, and of the root name servers.

That we've had DNS names blacklisted from being served (no matter how distasteful the services provided by those DNS names may be) shows that there is insufficient decentralization of authority over DNS.
The high school I went to looked into shifting the start time later because of research like this. Unfortunately, they concluded that it wasn't feasible because of after school sports -- our teams play against other high schools in the area, and the timing of that is based on when all the schools start. So if one school wants to start later, its students wouldn't be done in time for sports games and such. Pretty lame.
It sounds really weird to me because it's been quite some time since I've heard such cards advertised at all, I thought they had gone out at least a decade ago.

This is the wealthiest nation on earth. The money exists to keep this school going, and do not let anyone fool you into saying it doesn't.
Maybe influence utility provider prices. Kinda like insurance. If you stay inside some range per month, you'll get bonuses. If you want more, you'll pay a single digit % premium ?
places definitely don't want to expend resources hiring someone for three weeks just to have them leave, then come back, in a cycle. they want 3 months all in a row.
Working at AirPair with Igor while he was defining and rolling out this strategy was amazing. As we rolled out a new MEAN stack and other improvements to our CTA and inbound lead generation, the results were incredible, from 2-3 leads an hour, we went to 10-15, and then 20-30. A lot of Startup's can benefit from following his playbook to further their brand recognition and build powerful communities to accelerate their growth.
And he's hilarious! I thought he stole the show in "Trainwreck".
I'm surprised to hear it was faster, I just assumed C++ standard library is optimized for speed since I thought that's what C++ is known for compared to JavaScript.
Same people funding these insane school programs?
What makes it impressive is that this is a grad student. By all means, compound that in the article by going "it's a teenager" but calling an 18 year old going on 19 a teenager is kiiind of pushing it for the sake of getting more clicks.

Yes, he's doing amazing work at a young age, and that's super special. But from a result perspective, this is special because it's a grad student doing the work that usually happens at the phd or faculty level.
Reddit Security Incident
Elon Musk faces two lawsuits from “whistleblowers”
I do not believe network protection,in this context, works in same ways a physical protection,e.g. Armour.

Network hardware properly designed to withstand certain kinds of attacks will not be physically damaged by their use. Put another way,a piece of hardware that withstands (has capacity for) X number of transactions per second will no more get damaged if it is discarding vs processing them.

This is not to say there's no way to damage hardware with software but I don't believe the question is that generic.

I don’t understand what requires a web view here. You should be able to do anything another app can do (especially if you’re willing to write some custom native code, which I assume you are if you’re considering full native).
We don't have attacks that damage hardware. We do have disks that wear out. We secure erase them and then have them physically destroyed. I cannot think of an instance where we've had to replace a network card because of DDoS damage.
