The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope | Front End Engineer | Tucson, Arizona | ONSITE

LSST invites applications for a Front-End Developer to join the Education and Public Outreach (EPO) Team. The goal of LSST EPO is to provide worldwide access to, and context for, a subset of LSST data through engaging and exciting online experiences so anyone can explore the universe and be part of the discovery process.

LSST is a large aperture, wide-field, ground-based telescope that will survey half the sky every few nights in six optical bands. LSST will explore a wide range of astrophysical questions, ranging from discovering near earth asteroids, to examining the nature of dark energy. The project includes an 8-meter class telescope, the largest digital camera ever built (3.2 gigapixel), a state-of-the-art peta-scale data management system, and a fully-developed online EPO program to bring the excitement of astronomy directly to the public.

The LSST EPO program is currently being designed and built by a diverse team residing in Tucson and in Chile. We are looking for a great Front End Developer to help round out our team and make this dream into reality. You will contribute by developing interactive visualizations and online tools that are intuitive, satisfying, inspiring, and beautiful for our users. We're a small team, so the most important thing is to be able to be flexible and solve problems - even if they aren't your problem. If you know astronomy, great, if you don't, great, you're our target demographic!

The Front-End Developer works on the design and development of browser-based educational activities. As a technical member of a diverse team that includes astronomers, educators, and developers, you will be responsible for collaborating to refine user interface requirements and then iteratively developing and testing prototype mockups in HTML/CSS/JavaScript. Duties include whiteboarding/wireframing ideas, troubleshooting errors/performance, documenting code and deliverables, and providing periodic status updates to leadership.

For questions about this opportunity, feel free to reach out and contact bemmons@lsst.org!

I'd choose Elm but that's because I have the most experience with it. It's closed ecosystem (interop with JS libraries is more ceremonious than with other alternatives here), but it's wonderful (compiler-as-assistant, elm-format etc.). Honestly writing Elm just makes me happy :)

ClojureScript is nice but my last experience with was before the Spec arrived. I've had a Slack bot running in Clojure, didn't look at it for three months and when I needed to fix a bug, I couldn't remember what shape the data was in, and kind of burned out trying to get back into it. That made me try something strongly statically typed. I reckon my experience would be different with Spec now.

Purescript is like Elm, just with less hand-holding and more advanced everything. Might suit you if you like Haskell?

No experience with ReasonML.

Edit: speaking more generally, I'd take anything with algebraic datatypes. Thankfully most modern languages do have them nowadays.
Hey look, another strict aliasing bug.
A lot of the more "visible" larger outcomes seem to be based on how people socially interact moreso than technical innovation. Older people generally aren't first wavers in new means of sharing their lives, e.g. facebook, twitter, snapchat etc were all just new ways of talking. I know thats ridiculously reductive in scope, but it just seems older folk are more dispositioned to attack problems that provide a clearer path to renumeration, while younger folks seem more focused on doing something cool that technology enables.

I have 0 data to back up that armchair analysis.
A side note, since you mention RPi-s... Do you have any trouble with SD cards (or USB sticks) breaking down on power loss? It seems like a recurring theme and I'm curious how you deal with it in your setup? I am thinking of getting a NAS for my projects instead.
For FPGAs you generally have to use the IDE that the vendor gives be it Xilinx, Altera or Lattice. You can do the coding in Verilog, VHDL or component layout. You can also start with simulation using free stuff like Icarus Verilog or TKCircuit. Those tools are much simpler to get started.
you had me at "bad pickup" :)

Uh, no it isn't? I quit working at google because I don't approve of tracking and massively applied AI. I also got in a friendship ending fight with someone over their decision to work for facebook. It's individual people who are complicit in doing unethical things and it's individuals who need to take responsibility and do something.
The thing that consistently blows my mind is that by the time we were getting around to building things in the middle east, Aborigines in Australia had been going back to the same hunting camp for 40,000 years. https://arstechnica.com/science/2016/11/first-discovery-of-5...

"Alphabet" is not too far behind and let's face it Google has a significant entry space, communications control and intelligence and the other FAANGs also pay them.

Google don't seem to have the speculative product or consumer distribution badge to hang some risk off though even though they are in so much digital space. A great second quarter by them didn't help their shares.

Speculators/corporate traders push share prices, it doesn't depend on 19th-century dividends any longer.

Probably need a better marketing message.
What tools are you using now? Also looking to move away from evernote.
I was gonna comment the same, so thanks for getting all the downvotes :)I think it's not that sexist but at first I was shocked. Now I think it is just using way too many stereotypes in one sentence. I think they realized it was sexist but thought "but we're the BBC, they will know we don't mean it like that" (which is probably true).
The McLaren people make carbon fibre tubs for their road cars and they are opening a new factory for this in the UK 'due to Brexit' (the carbon fibre tubs were being made in Austria).

In the bigger scheme of things McLaren sell roughly as many cars as BMW sell i3s, i.e. a rounding error in global auto sales.

McLaren got there first in making carbon fibre tub a road going reality, for the super-rich, just as they did on the track in the world of F1 almost four decades ago.
Author of the post. I agree that it is our biggest strength & weakness, I acknowledge that problem and put forward some solutions in the doc.

One piece of the solution is to embrace core and a bunch of important plugins together as the foundation. Normal users shouldn't be asked to pick & choose the basics like that, and we want to lock down the combination of the versions in that group. Whether those are behind the scene plugins or not from contributors' perspective is an implementation detail.

Another piece of the solution is to grow more extensibility mechanism beyond the current in-process plugin. There's a thing called "Pipeline shared libraries" in Jenkins, which is a good example of this. It lets developers create higher level pipeline primitives by composing other existing ones. There's some mechanism to share those with the community, too, although not as sophisticated as plugins. From users' perspective, it extends capabilities of Jenkins just like plugins, but in a way that doesn't create the kind of instability a bad plugin can -- its impact is local to one build, for example.

Then there's the container-as-a-building-block extensibility, Jenkins Evergreen, and more...
It's going to be rough working in English all day, then trying to learn German in the evening, especially if most people interested in talking to you are those who want to practice their English.

It's tough to find people willing to talk with an adult like they're a toddler.

So, I don't think the question is as flippant as you made it out to be. Someone might have some real advice about how to manage the juggling act of learning a new language and culture as a working adult.
i think kubevirt is being rolled in soon. It adds a VM type to the set of things k8s can manage. i'm not sure what's required inside the vm to play nice. I haven't used kubevirt at all. But it might be worth checking out.
There are many people in the Facebook group who can speak firsthand of their success in applying knowledge that has been known to vision therapists for decades. Anyone interested in improving their own vision can quickly find out for themselves. This is not specific to any one person’s “method”. Or you can pay for a licensed professional from http://covd.org

Here is a different site which independently reached similar conclusions: https://gettingstronger.org/2016/03/faq-for-vision-improveme...

Edit: you are essentially asking for an explanation of behavioral opthalmology in an Internet comment. Any COVD professional will happily answer your questions for a fee. The Endmyopia site tries to communicate some of those principle in layman language, and it has required dozens or hundreds of blog posts and answers to reader questions. The link above provides a condensed explanation.

If wearing glasses works for someone, they are unlikely to seek out alternatives. The people who seek alternatives are motivated because glasses are not meeting their use cases, e.g. myopia has steadily worsened. That motivation then justifies their effort to learn the principles used by vision therapists, or the budget to pay a vision therapist for structured vision therapy that lasts months to years.

I've been an Evernote user for a long time, but it's been ages since I've felt that they're actually user-focused by way of improving holes like poor functional parity across their apps(1). As a outsider, a huge amount of energy felt squandered on a shotgun-strategy of special-purpose apps while a stream of core app rebuilds launched, none of which significantly moved the functional needle.

I've been exploring alternatives, but so far nothing has stuck. Last time I looked at OneNote it seemed promising, but the lack of tags (seriously?) was a showstopper. DevonThink Pro was interesting, but the Mac experience and UI is archaic to the point of being unusable IMO. Esp. the way that DT bakes a really terrible styling onto imported Evernote notes.

I'd love to hear migration success stories from those of you who've moved on.

(1) One example: Want to create or modify a table on the iPad app? Nope. Baffling.

When you're old you'll look back and cringe at the thought that you ever said things like this.

It's not that I don't believe you, or that your reported experience is not genuine to you. It's that it reflects a fundamentally superficial interaction.

Being poor isn't something you can look at and observe, it's a feeling that comes when every choice you face is deeply and fundamentally compromised.

It's OK though, we won't hold it against you, most old people talked like you did once too when they were young. That kind of idealism can have value as well.
Hyundai and Kia and now starting to challenge even the German car manufacturers with their i30N and Stinger cars.

In fact, they specifically poached a number of former executives from BMW's M division to lead those projects.

This is form of discrimination against older workers who get no paid leave to care for their ageing parents.

I went through hell 5 yrs ago where I was on a death march project and had family situation involving a parent.

I will not support any of this until they change this into a 'life situation' leave instead of parent leave.
Azure is the #2 cloud platform on Earth, so your last statement is bunk. The outage is very localized, none of my instances in South Central were ever "down," there was a brief 5-10 time frame when I noticed CPU spikes, I assume from a rebooting process from mitigation...which effected some availability but it was never truly down.

The problem was caused by a power surge to their cooling system, which eventually led to systems shutting down to prevent overheating.

The main thing is the spill over from authentication, which is effecting other regions. This isn't an AWS/GCS type even where every service suddenly cascaded. My portal is still not 100% functioning, but all of my services are operating normally and are up. So it's probably at this point only effecting AD and provisioning rather than service SLA.

Also around 1993, Onyx with RE II was used by Nameco and a company called Magic Edge to build actuated flight sim pods [1]. Coincidentally also in 1993, NASA published a guide [2] to their Vertical Motion Simulator [3]. At the time, the VMS used several SGI IRIS machines as auxiliary display processors, but custom machines for primary.

One day, the din of the machinery paled and withered under a thunderous earth-shaking draconian roar - whiplashing my head out of the rack toward the windows - an F/A-18 tilted sideways at the edge of ground effect ripping a minimum radius turn back to from whence it came ... without ever leaving the airfield. Sigh. There is no simulator for That.
I remember reading that SpaceX employees work crazy long hours and that the burnout rate is high. Is the same true for the people who work the venues or go on the road with bands?

Why is it bad news?

I have no insurance to pay.

I have no fuel costs to pay.

I have no parking costs to pay.

I have no maintenance costs to pay.

I have a car whenever I want, for an affordable price, that is relatively modern, sometimes with a driver and sometimes I drive myself.

The true cost of a vehicle is much higher than the car payment.
I had a good experience with AllPCB recently. They even reached out for clarification on an extraneous drl file I had included in the gerbers zip accidentally.
It apparently is a viable path for a company to enter the auto market though, as I think they've transitioned well over the last couple decades into respectable auto-makers with standard quality. That probably makes them a good purchase since you can still get those warranties for the time being. Honestly, I thought they would be phasing them out a decade ago.
To play devil's advocate, couldn't these employees be terminated for refusing to do the job they were hired to do?
The flaw is, imho, in the fact that we are talking about business models.

If you look at thriving universities in Europe, in thriving countries (like Finland, Sweden and Norway) you might see that they are basically run at loss: this is because education is an investment, not an expense.

Education is supposed to be an investment for nations, not individuals (or, more realistically, parents of individuals).

>net cost to students (actual amounts paid by students after grants and financial aid) has not gone up that much.

I'm skeptical of that claim and would request a citation as well. College Board says the opposite (tuition and fees increasing faster than aid): https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/10/25/tuition-and-f...

And another important set of expenses to track are non-tuition related expenses; it costs more than ever to rent an apartment and pay for other such expenses today.
I've used react-scripts for a few months. I have no idea how old it is, but it's pretty good. Maybe automatic reload isn't always working, but I can just reload the whole page if something is off and it's instantaneous.

> "“Young people are just smarter,” Zuckerberg told the audience of a 2007 VC conference, adding that successful startups should only employ young people with technical expertise."

> "“People under 35 are the people who make change happen,” said VC Vinod Khosla at a 2011 conference. “People over 45 basically die in terms of new ideas” because they “keep falling back on old habits.” Entrepreneur and VC Paul Graham said in a 2013 interview that investors tend to be biased against older founders. “The cutoff in investors’ heads is 32… after 32, they start to be a little skeptical.”"

I don't buy this, even as someone under 27. I could see an argument that younger people have more time to think creatively and catch on to new trends in technology since they likely have more time to do so than older people with families or greater responsibilities. However, I don't believe successful change is only limited to younger people. Heck, I have friends who are 25 that haven't even figured their own life out and don't know how to keep an apartment clean. Yet, they still must know better than a 35 year old with 10 years of industry experience?

To be honest, I've had more enjoyment working for startups with founders over 30 than under 25 - partly because those over 30 have less time for bullshit. They treat it like work (which is it). It was also helpful to learn from older people who could pass on both technical and life advice to me as a younger person from a "things I wish I knew at your age" perspective.

Younger founders could still be successful, but, in truth, working with a bunch of other young people my age could feel more like "hanging out" than getting work done. Sometimes young people don't actually know what to do in certain circumstances and have no one to ask, which can be good and bad depending on how you look at it.
I don't know of many places that still turn rotors, many of the big shops stopped and so did some smaller, unless they're specialty I always buy new, partially the reason I do it myself.
"A device comprising a single atom." So... an atom?
energy is highly regulated market, so I dunno, but in general, increased demand increases price, unless supply grows to meet demand (and there is a competitive market to drive down prices). So more EVs, more demand for electricity, and less demand for gasoline, so former might become more expensive, and the latter cheaper. what actually will happen is going to depend on long term investment decisions, changes in tech, and the specifics of industry regulation (which I'm mostly ignorant of)
They have competitors who want you to believe their products are as good or better. In my experience, AWS's competitors don't even have a solid understanding of what makes AWS successful, and try to imitate a subset of their features. In the long term they might catch up, but it will take cultural change.

(Microsoft has been making up for this by using their sales channel to port their existing customer base to Azure. This has worked out great for them, but their customer base is finite and aging.)
Yea it containers definitely won't. Though something like Nomad _(as I'm researching now)_ that tries to manage both physical machines and container fleets might fit nicely.

These are all pros, not cons, to Amazon's valuation. They are telegraphing the idea that Amazon will destroy everything that stands in its way, up to and including its own employees or even investors.

There is no kind of labor abuse or environment abuse in any sense that would not be taken as evidence of Amazon's character (and not a weakness). And again, this sociopathic behavior is what's being selected for by the market. Amazon abusing people and situations is good, according to the market.
I think the prime example where uncouncious rhythm is concerned would be the period, the menstruation cycle. The correlation with the moon phase is probably no coincidence I guess, and I somewhat doubt it's magnetic, but suppose it's gravitational - which is an external factor. Anyhow that's not experienced time keeping. Rather it may be used for time keeping, or rather other externals like hair growth for example or feeling tired. "I'm tired, it must be late huh" is what I was talking about more than "It's late, I must be tired" though the later should be imperative for me, right now (here near the Greenwich Line).

And for the 1930s exp you posted, i suppose its just the energy reserves of whichever crucial part for the older were either fine tuned or not extendable, whereas a 20 year old (risk inclined) college student can still pull allnighters twice a weak and other endurance exercises. Physical fitness peaks before the 30s. And a prof is someone working with the mind so the experiment itself without intense physical strain is taxing enough. They self tested, that alone is probably a huge warningsign.

But i was mainly refering to plants that can be brought to flower by light cycle manipulation. Now I kind of wonder how mimosa reacts circadian anyway ... and I guess it's due to relative changes in the air humidity.
> I feel hypothyroidism is more prevalent today than at any other point in human history.

What makes you feel this way?
The industry did not have it's back turned. They were always making electric cars in one way or another.

Surely Tesla has accelerated demand a bit ... but I would view this as a very natural and obvious evolution of an industry, and when we take the big picture view it'll be seen as frankly a long shift anyhow, spanning many decades.
