Seedlang | Front-end Developer | Berlin | REMOTE, FULL-TIME | Salary + sizeable equity
Seedlang (http://seedlang.com) is a video-based language learning website that can be thought of as a combination of the best parts from Duolingo, Memrise, and Youtube. We create small stories around grammatical topics, split the sentences of the story into flashcards, and embed grammar into the subtitles of the flashcards. It's a really unique experience, and so far the response from the German-learning community has been great.

We use React / Mobx in the front-end, and Rails as a API server in the backend. I'm looking for someone to help with adapting our current codebase to React Native, so React Native eperience would be great. Interest in (spoken) languages is a huge plus! :)

Remote is totally fine, though Berlin is preferred.

Launching from the Moon is cheap - magnetic rail and solar power can do the job and cut the need for propellant significantly and there is water enough to make e lot of propellant for delta-v's you'll need. With all that slack, we can relax a bit with mass and use simpler techniques to build ships. A lot of 3D printing and automated manufacturing.

On the not-so-bright side, we'll have to develop new metallurgy and other industrial processes based on local chemistry.

Where would the counterweight have to be for one end to be in high Earth atmosphere, balancing atmospheric drag with lift and gravity? My math tells me the end would be traveling at a relatively tame 260 kph.

CaterCow | https://www.catercow.com | Brooklyn / NYC / New York, NY | ONSITE | $110k - $160k+, 0.3% - 2.0% equity, health care, 401k, bonuses, revenue share, etc.

I'm Chris, the cofounder and CEO of CaterCow. Previously I was the second employee (engineer) at Airbnb and left to build CaterCow. Come get in on the ground floor of our engineering team as we execute our plan to win the entire group food ordering market.
If you're a great full stack engineer with wonderful business & design sense, I'd love to chat. Email me at chris@catercow.com with "HN Who's Hiring September 2018" in the subject.

Things that make us different: Profitable, infinite runway, 85%+ owned by founders and employees, no VC (we raised less than $200k 5 years ago, but have grown profitably since then), amazing 8 person full time non-technical team (Sales, Ops, Customer & Caterer acquisition, photographers), best in industry unit economics, very strong 5 year history of increasing revenue and profit growth, flexible and experimental view about travel & work.

Looking to hire 2 people immediately who think hard work and excellent software are the most powerful tools to dominate markets.

The last time we posted in this thread we ended up hiring @tgriesser (https://github.com/tgriesser) as Engineer #1 so you’ll be working directly with the two of us. We’re interested in building a team with a wide variety of skills and viewpoints and are open to all sorts of expertise. Right now we would favor engineers with particularly modern front end / design / UX sensibilities, a strong history of growth hacking, or experience leading multiple successful product features.

Please email me if you're interested in the above :)
chris@catercow.com with subject "HN Who's Hiring September 2018"
Well I suppose the part that might not apply to desktop parts is "efficiency trumps performance". Many desktop uses don't care about efficiency, but care about performance.

For servers, the purchasing decisions are probably much more quantitative, and if you are buying a high core count machine it probably means you have a parallelizable workload, so no efficiency comes into play since you have a lot of choice on the frequency/core-count spectrum, versus power, money, space, etc.
SamKnows | Tests and Metrics Engineer | London, UK | Onsite, full-time

SamKnows is currently recruiting for a full-time developer to join its team in London. Our company provides network measurement hardware, software and services to telecoms regulators and ISPs worldwide. We build own hardware measurement probes, which we've distributed to more than 100,000 users so far. Naturally, these all run OpenWrt.

We write our measurements in C and C++, covering a wide array of QoS and QoE performance metrics (far more than just speed tests!). Familiarity with working in embedded Linux environments is a huge benefit. We collect and analyse hundreds of millions of measurements per day using this infrastructure.

The role would primarily involve developing measurement software and also working on the probes themselves. We are also increasingly embedding our measurements in ISPs' existing CPE, and have so far embedded our measurement agent in millions of CPE across Europe and North America. So in interest in working with software and services running at a large scale is a must!

For more information and to apply please see https://www.samknows.com/company/careers/embedded-devices-so...

The worst part of my job is configuring our Jenkins server and managing builds in their dumbass groovy based DSL.

I'm willing to bet that most people just want to build GitHub repos. Then why do we have to do this mess to get a decently repeatable deployment strategy: https://coderanger.net/jenkins/ I should not have to crack open plugin source code in order to configure the plugin programmatically. It's dumb and bad.

Also groovy is a bag language. Managing Jenkins pipeline library deps is a pain.

Also yeah, plugins break constantly and upgrading them is always a nightmare.

Cornershop is groceries delivery made right. The person who picked your items is the same who delivers it to you, there's no dilution of responsibility. Wrong product? missing items? bread crushed under the milk? They will own up to it and fix it.

Previously we used HEB's own delivery service. One person picks your items, other packs them and yet another delivers it. When something is wrong no one owns up to it.

www.winwinly.com [CTO/ FullStack dev] – Co-founder position – Attractive Equity –
Dear all,
Not yet incorporated, but accepted into Startup School Advisor Track and already applied to the acceleration program ( YC W2019 ), Winwinly is looking for a CTO / FullStack dev to develop and launch its beta version.
If you would like to join the adventure (remote work) with a top team (Reda : VP engineering firm with 6 years exp, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Mgt from EmLyon, Sophia : Senior Banker with 5 years exp & our mentor Michel : Director of EmLyon incubator), feel free to contact me => reda@winwinly.com
The focus on cloud-first Jenkins is interesting considering Codebees's acquisition of Codeship earlier this year. Obviously Kohsuke would be biased to Jenkins, but as CTO, I'd imagine the corporate goals take precedence.
Everywhere I go supports magstripe. An increasing percentage support chips but I still see terminals which don’t, or more commonly, where they have a sign telling you not to use it because it’s not enabled or broken. I’m assume there have been a lot of slacker IT departments caught out by these upgrades since it’s usually big chains which have problems.
The comment, which marks other comments as belonging on reddit, very much belongs on hacker news.
This is a ridiculous article. First off,most orgs have an outbound mail provider that supports spf. Second, Spf can be setup to softfail (mail gets delivered anyways).

I have used spf many times to distinguish forged phishing email vs phishing email originating from a compromised account.

SPF is like most security solutions,its purpose is to reduce risk not eliminate it. If you really want to go down the rabbit hole of eliminating risk,your first step should be to not use email at all.
Not every workload is memory bandwidth bound like his "make -j16" compile. Some workloads need memory latency or fast inter-core (and inter-socket) operations (e.g. RDBMS OLTP), some need CPU throughput (e.g. HPC), some need best possible single thread CPU performance (e.g. some gaming).

As he wrote, CPUs are most efficient (compute per Watt) at a specific frequency, and if his CPU mostly waits for RAM, this can be done at low power.

It's probably possible to create x86-64 CPUs with narrower backends (fewer execution units) with microcode-emulated 128 and 256 bit registers/operations (and maybe even emulated FPU) and get a cheaper and faster build server, if it was economical to fab such narrow-use-case chips (those would be good for redis/memcached too I imagine).

Not basic but fantasy consoles like pico-8 try to bring back that feeling. Pico-8 has a 32k limit and all graphics / sound / code are memory mapped so you can peek and poke if you want to old school hack. It boots directly into a Lua interpreter.

I do love Homebrew but windows has chocolatey which is an analog or you could just use the windows Linux subsystem and use the native apt or yum tools.
Ryzen is known to be memory constrained even with much faster memory than he used. It is completely predicable that he found his CPU to be severely starved for memory bandwidth thus enabling him to reduce operating frequency without penalty.

This is like putting an LS engine in an otherwise stock Miata and acting surprised that you can run the engine at lower RPM and still put in good lap times.

i was replying to the poster above who wants to run a mac, but wants parity with linux environment, but then complained about all the time spent dealing with the differences. Specifically in the context of that person's post, re: "if you do web dev", tiling window managers on Linux don't come in to play.

"I'm far more productive with Linux". I used to feel that way too, until I wanted to work primarily with laptops, and not have to worry about network drivers, or sleep mode, or worrying that upgrading something would require hours of figuring out what to recompile.

I've absolutely no doubt that some people reading this - perhaps even you - will tell me

* how I was doing something wrong, or
* I need to 'research my hardware before I buy it', or that
* you never ever have any of these problems, and every linux laptop you've ever had ran perfectly smoothly with no wifi/sleep/printing issues ever, and * it must be my fault because "ubuntu just works" (or fill in whatever the catchphrase of the day is)

I spent 8 years wrestling with Linux on laptops (desktop was generally less of an issue), and don't want to have that be my primary pain point. If I need direct Linux, I have remote servers, or virtual machines (either on macbook or windows).

Yes, I may truly miss the productivity of tiling window managers. And... heavens, yes, my bash is out of date. But somehow I survive.

You're missing the point, you're ignoring on whether or not he's actually been punished prior. If he had already been punished by "mob justice" (which you've ill-defined), then this is double-dipping.

It's not logically consistent. You don't like Gunn or his particular brand of activism/politics/discourse and therefore you are enjoying his downfall. If his movies simply failed, you'd likely be just as satisfied.

And if the advertisers would have pulled from the show? Then the show doesn't even make them money. Is that mob justice? I mean, what isn't mob justice according to you? And what if they just don't want her there for her views. And there are plenty of times where there's no cost and things get denied or cancelled. These decisions are never purely financial.

More data than you do that Barr's firing was "mob justice". All of the actors in Guardians have expressed support for him. Other peers have decried Disney's decision. Articles were written about it. You can do a simple search for "James Gunn firing backlash".

I mean, at this point, say what you really want to say.
The mass of the pod is much less than the end-station of the space elevator. So the cable can be very thin at the far end. If the cable is tapering smoothly it weights 1/4, but it need not to do that, I think it tapers in some kind of exponential curve. So 1/16 might be quite reasonable assumption, but one needs recent college education to calculate that. On the other hand there are strong centrifugal forces, as the pod speeds up from standstill, which is also vividly described in Seveneves book.
