Resi (resi.co.uk) | London | Full-Time | Front-end Engineer

We are Resi, a London based team that is changing how residential architecture works in the UK. We bring technology to an industry dominated by email, phone calls and spreadsheets. Focusing on the customer experience but building the processes and technology to allow us to compete at scale.

In short we are looking to add someone to the team who can work with both our designers and back-end engineers to make our product ideas a reality.

We are a Ruby on Rails app, with pretty vanilla HTML/CSS/JS/AJAX front end. Experience of working in a Rails environment would be useful but definitely not a pre-requisite.

We haven't yet added any React components but it is on our roadmap.

The ideal candidate would be opinionated about how to organise and build front-end code as a codebase matures and scales.

Full job listing is available [here](https://resi.freshteam.com/jobs/Isx35ZMlpbJZ/front-end-engin...)
Epyc is the name for the server chips. Both Ryzen and Epyc are based on the same microarchitecture.
Pioneer | Frontend, Full-stack, Data Science | Open Source | Full Time | https://pioneer.app

We’re building a community of creative young people working on interesting projects around the globe. We use software to find people that lack opportunity but have great talent and ambition. We give them small grants to support their work and try to use various gamification techniques to keep them motivated on their project. Our goal is to be counterfactually significant in the creation of the next Albert Einstein, Marie Curie or Elon Musk.

In the short term our technical challenges are equal parts computer science and human psychology. How do you build a product that can identify greatness? How do you then motivate people to become the best version of themselves? If you were building the Harvard campus, but entirely online, could you make it work?

It requires great intuition and solid engineering. We work in Python, Ruby and Javascript.

I'd like the card to disappear altogether. I do about half my daily transactions with NFC (Apple Pay) these days, and it's kind of irritating to have to reach into my pocket and fish out a card.

Now, if Apple would allow me to nickname the damn cards so I could tell which is which, that would be grand. sigh
IMSA’s WeatherTech series is going great, but where does it go next?
Same here - I really struggled to set up declarative pipelines starting out. The docs don't do a great job of distinguishing between the full groovy syntax and the new declarative syntax and there is a relative dearth of examples.

I think the swiss army knife nature of Jenkins contributes to this - there's just so much you can do.
John McAfee’s Bitfi Accepts Defeat, Agrees Wallet Is Hackable
That's definitely an arguable point. I'm sure it has weight in a lot of ways. We definitely advertise simplicity over comprehensivity because it sells a little more easily.

Alternatively, my experience in publishing has been there's a lot of focus on the quality of photography and images. Compression is attempted, but usually not at the cost of quality. They'll happily serve a 10MB photo, if photography is the purpose of the content.

I guess I'm speaking more to data-based features—mainly content delivery pipelines, general system architecture, and down to integrated interactive featurettes. In my experience there hasn't been a lot of pursuit after trendy tech. Quite the opposite. They're more willing to go for external contracts with "enterprise-grade" companies that offer "we do it all" services that under deliver and are host to poor archival practices for a medium that is traditionally archived.

Your latter point is spot on up until the advertising remark. Editorial and journalistic staff take their stuff very seriously and are often at odds with corporate and other managerial staff and are typically more into innovating (I rather like working with them and art teams... outside of lifestyle brands, anyway). Managing editors tend to want expediency and quality and don't mind one way or the other. The corporate and business management end are certainly consumed with sales, advertising, and analytics.
Yeah I've been thinking for a while how strange it is that Musk, for example, seems to have a strange little cult of personality surrounding him.
> If you have a cable capable of holding a space station and counterweight, no satellite is going to stop it.

A satellite impacting the tether will definitely "stop" it, in that it will, at the very least, melt an impact crater into it if the cable is wide enough to not be cut. It is unlikely that the cable will be that wide. I feel like a broken record, lately, but the dominant concerns of impact modeling at orbital velocities are (a) mass and (b) energy. Everything traveling at 8 km/s effectively splashes into whatever solid object it hits, both because the room temperature shear resistance of the materials involved is orders of magnitude less than the shears involved, and also because the kinetic energy is dumped into thermal energy, melting or vaporizing the materials involved. One tends to get results like: (https://www.esa.int/spaceinimages/Images/2009/02/Hyperveloci...) That link notes that pressures of 365 GPa are reached, and typical yield stresses of theoretical nanotube cables are around 100 GPa.

A carbon nanotube cable is unlikely to be more than an inch or two across at LEO. You need that kind of strength to beat the space-elevator-equivalent of the rocket equation, which governs the taper needed to get the cable to even support its own mass in Earth's gravitational field.
Tanium | Emeryville, CA (SF) or Morrisville, NC (RTP) or REMOTE

https://www.tanium.com/careers/?gh_src=qprker8f1

Tanium's product is basically computer security & management software for government and large enterprises. For networks with 20k+ computers, it's the best option by a long shot, and it scales to over a million endpoints without breaking a sweat.

Lt. Gen. Bill Bender, the recently-retired CIO of the US Air Force, said that Tanium is "game-changing ... allowing a tremendous amount of automation and reduced workloads for our network operations people significantly, meaning things that used to take them months is now down to seconds, or minutes." [1]

We have roles open in Engineering, Technical Account Management, Security, Sales, Legal, Marketing, Finance, HR, Accounting, and more. I'll also called out a few positions below.

Benefits include healthcare, 401k match, and self directed/unlimited vacation (most folks take 4~5 weeks).

I can't name salary ranges, but my total comp as a remote Senior Software Engineer is about $320k ($165k base, ~$100k bonus, and ~$55k stock).

Feel free to ask me about anything, reply here or email nathan.friedly@[company site].

Associate or Director of Technical Account Management - The TAM organization is central to our company, and doesn't have any real parallels that I'm aware of. As a TAM, you'd be expected to set up a home lab with a network of machines (or VMs) running our software, and you'd be primarily responsible for advising 2~5 customers on how best to use Tanium. However, TAMs come from all kinds of backgrounds including sysadmin, ops, programming, and security, and really work together as a team to support each other and meet the needs of each customer.

(Note: "Director" is indicative of the responsibility level, but Director TAM is not a people-managing role.)

> Despite tremendous financial security, success and personal comfort, these men gained a reputation for being petty and ungenerous whenever possible. They don’t exemplify very many personality traits we associate with a good person.

I realize this is beside the point, so downvote me if you like, but I'm not sure a Trump mouthpiece like the NY Post has any business calling people out for being petty and ungenerous...

Add to that the mostly-baseless anti-tech crusade the president and his media friends have been on for the last year or so, I'm very surprised to see this rag getting any sort of traction at all on HN.
I don't think denying financial support to family is evidence of being a scummy person. I expect being of noveu tech wealth makes everyone you know to try to pry flesh from you.

I expect it's rather lonely.
SMS, yuck. Something else we need to get past, and banks are so slow in embracing new security technologies.
This article completely misses the mark. People worship jobs or elon because they’re the modern rock stars. They entertain us with technical marvels, and we’re grateful to them. Nobody care if keith richards is a nice guy, or if kurt cobain took drugs or was nice to kids. We liked what they did professionally, and we don’t car about the rest.

Nobody is saying we should copy elon work ethic, or public communication, or jobs’ family affairs. Everybody agrees they’re not perfect and can probably be aholes sometimes. But we don’t care. And we’re angry at people trying to focus on the bad aspects of their personalities as a way to diminish their professional accomplishments.

I've heard the related argument that cooperation between people with more differences requires more cognitive effort, so you can get a simple economic or second law of thermodynamics explanation for loneliness. More effort equals less of something.
>>> The current legacy version of Jenkins needs to be restarted once a day by an administrator

>Is this true? Do you have a source that says this?

The OP states: "Admins today are unable to meet that heightened expectation using Jenkins easily enough. A Jenkins instance, especially a large one, requires too much overhead just to keep it running. It’s not unheard of that somebody restarts Jenkins every day."

This isn't always the case so my claim is too strong. I toned it down with https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/commit/672a19ca... Thanks for pointing it out!

Who says it’s manipulated? The complaint was that there wasn’t sufficient detail. Are we just assuming that any chart that doesn’t live up to the standards of a scientific paper must be manipulated?
I think Bill Gates have hurt the world more than Musk and Jobs combined. I don't subscribe to utilitarianism, so giving money to charities don't make up for damaging personal computing.
I think as part of the new Jenkins architecture we should be able to make it much easier to stop at a point in a pipeline & open a terminal/REPL to test out steps.

Also I'm hoping for a nice validated YAML based pipeline syntax that should make editing/validating pipelines easier
Oh at least twice the lifetime of the technology. I'm a veritable expert.

> “On the other hand, when someone sees the firefighter and says "What a propaganda. These pictures never bother to present a concrete evidence that two planes hit WTC," then we kind of know rational discourse is over, which is what's happening with climate denialism.”

Let me state first that I do believe climate change is real and urgently needs to be given increased attention to find a solution.

But, secondly, your comment falls completely flat, and in my personal view, you are espousing something that is truly far, far more dangerous than even climate denial.

You’re attempting to say that a rational analysis of entire patterns of propaganda is equivalent to no longer participating in the rational debate. You’re trying to say that anyone who does not agree there is intrinsic credibility to the data-eliding emotional appeals must themselves no longer have credibility in the discussion.

This essentially lobotomizes our best and only chance to solve problems like climate change long-term, which is to use science as a constraint on political gamesmanship.

When you say, “... then we know rational discourse is over” you’re just falling right into politicians’ hands, who want to continue politicizing the issue while not actually doing anything about it that doesn’t happen to also serve their short-term profit interests, and figuring that if younger generations have to inherit a wasteland and figure out how to live in it, that’s not their problem, and they’ll happily consume now, while the getting is good.

Your type of meta-comment is the most frustrating to me in this whole debate, because you seem self-aware enough to know better.

> Requiring payments destroys the anonymity though, that's why I don't like it.

Isn't that what all of this Bitcoin and Ethereum is supposed to be good for?

> Actually, my system can be adapted to email but you have to give up typing in email addresses manually. Most people don't do that anyway, so no big loss.

Don't they? People put email addresses on business cards and billboards and things like that. That's where you would need people to upgrade -- the fix would be to use QR codes but then you need everybody to support that (and understand what to do with it).

Of course, people who have their own domains have long been doing something similar but with human readable names. You have example.com so you can create foo@example.com, bar@example.com, a hundred names for a hundred services.

It would also be possible to do this with subdomains. So if you were bob@gmail.com, gmail could theoretically let you create aliases like foo@bob.gmail.com and use it for your business with Foo Corp.

They do let you do something similar by ignoring dots in the address, so john.smith@gmail.com is automatically an alias for johnsmith@gmail.com, but if you use dots in different places for different activities then when one of them starts getting spammed you discontinue it and add a rule to trash everything sent to that alias. The inconvenience there is it's harder to remember what you used each variation for (and which ones you've already used) when it's time to rotate.
yeah, I see 'plugins' being around for a while but docker steps becoming the more cloud native long term alternative; being more reusable stand alone & not requiring changing a Jenkins Master (or even requiring a Jenkins master for ephemeral build pods)
Amazon Helping Code.org Gather K-12 CS Intelligence to Reshape U.S. Schools
This depends on the teen. In my peer group, at the time, a few of us being nudged by a mentor or two, went right after the machine code.

One of the things that mentor emphasized was writing a dissassembler soon after becoming familiar with a given CPU.

However, that woild be post fact. Some teens got closed computers, like Atari machines. By todays standards, they are wide open. Back then, they were mysterious, but capable with spiffy graphics and sound chips. The key thing was how users were nudged toward or away from the guts of it all.

Other teens got, say an Apple 2. On that one, you got schematics, a commented ROM listing, and the whole machine was open, software driven. It screamed, "hack me!" The whole damn computer was a clever hack!

Again, my per group were Apple people, and were writing ML based off the snippets found in the ROM, along with great tutorials found in the grocery store magazines. (Where I got my first dissassembler, BTW. Thank you COMPUTE!)

This stuff varied extremely widely. One town would have that spark of learning, a particular school, or club maybe. Another one, nothing. Just gaming, the usual.

Circling back, yeah. Those DATA statements were known to be programs. Lots of us hand disassembled them and either wrote them down (I have a couple in some papers somewhere, I am sure), and my preference was to add REM statements with assembly code in them for later. Oh how I would have loved BBC Basic!

The Apple was cool, had a monitor and mini assembler, disassembler. Wrote a lot with it. Still a mess compared to what I understand the BBC had. I want to go and run one.

Other machines varied, as did people and what books and or other resources were available to them.

Fred Brooks probably had reasons to think the untried else would have been better. His experience, hindsight from later cases, and also the architecture manager's predictions, which did turn out correct.

When someone makes three predictions, two turn out to be correct, and the third ended up not tried, we would do well to think twice before dismissing that third prediction.
