I was seduced by BlueOcean and tried using Jenkins for CI, using Github and AWS ECS builders (which felt like a common enough use-case).

Unfortunately it ended up costing an astonishing amount of engineering time to get working and maintain, with builds frequently stalled or failing.

Since moving to CircleCI 2.0 enterprise (admittedly far from perfect) and Airflow, we have _dramatically_ reduced eng. time spent managing our job scheduling.

The core of our problem was how fragile and complex the Jenkins ecosystem seems to be: any change to the config or settings and it would easily burn a day of engineering, due to random bugs and hard to understand error messages. In the end, no one wanted to touch it!

I think there's a great project hidden somewhere here, but just getting the basic "everyday" stuff done with it can be a real PITA.
Definition of a prime. Only divisible by itself and one
Never had this problem.
The FileVault suggestion doesn't even match the page it links to. That other page specifically says that there's more entropy right after a reboot, while this page says simply to do it after initial installation, with no mention of uptime. Even if that other page is correct, the crucial piece of information was lost.
I believe there is a typo, and it should say "for p to be prime".

Since p = (x^2 + x + 1)(x - 1), and both of those factors are integers, if both factors were not 1, then we would have demonstrated a factoring of p; therefore p would be composite.

If you wanted to be super formal, you would have to deal with the possibility that the factors were -1, but that is more of an uninteresting technicality.
Flowminder | Senior developer Python, SQL | Southampton, UK & Geneva| Remote possible | Fulltime but part-time possible | 58K

Flowminder Foundation is looking for a senior developer to help us open source, and augment our mobile phone data analysis stack.

We’ve used this tool to do things like monitor displacement after natural disasters and conflicts and help understand disease spread in low and middle income countries.

Built on docker, python, and Postgres. We also increasingly use JavaScript for visuals, R if appropriate, and anything else that’s the right tool for the job at hand.

Diverse and friendly team of mostly academics (although we’re looking to increase our diversity on that score), free terrible coffee, lot of opportunity for travel to unusual places.
We can’t currently sponsor visas, but are open to some degree of remote working.
Full job spec is at http://www.flowminder.org/vacancies/senior-developer

Feel free to drop me a mail at Jonathan.gray at flowminder.org if you’ve got any questions!

If you know the size ahead of time, you can use multipart uploads. Otherwise you would have to buffer to disk. you could consider kinesis firehose which had dumping to s3 built in

The google storage api has a mode where you can stream bytes, and it doesn’t become visible until you close it(and then can’t modify like s3). And unlike s3, it requires a delete permission to be able to overwrite, though with s3 you can turn on versioning and not give deleteobjectversion.
They weren't. There was an error or oversight in the proof.

ARACHNYS - SENIOR ENGINEERS - LONDON - We use 120TB+ of data coupled with extraordinary user experience to help banks manage know-your-customer checks and anti-money laundering (KYC/AML). It's what's perhaps most broken about banks and we're helping to fix it. Our customers are tier-1 financial institutions and large multinationals. We are currently looking for Senior Engineers in London.
We work predominantly with Python, Django, JavaScript, React, and Docker. We are also moving towards exciting technologies like Go, and GraphQL. Our infrastructure is backed by Kubernetes, Hadoop, ElasticSearch, Terraform, and Amazon Web Services. Experience in any of these is a plus but not required, however, we are looking for strong Python and/or React skills. We have two projects with over 1k stars on GitHub (one just broke 4k https://github.com/arachnys). We're always looking to open source more.

Our tight-knit team has a can-do mentality and isn't scared to use new tools when they are the right ones. We have a relentless focus on quality of delivery.

Drop me a line if any questions.

Email daniel@arachnys.com to apply, linking to your GitHub or some other code that you think tells a good story about you.

What we need: a great director or VP of engineering. Great initial team, but you can help us make it better.

What we need, 2: great engineers, front-end, back-end, or any combination thereof. Engineers that want to own meaningful pieces of a project from start to finish.

What we use: Kubernetes, AWS, Python, Django, Go (soon, join and make it come sooner), React, Typescript, PostgreSQL, ... tech-agnostic. Good people will learn things quickly enough. We don't grill you on inane algorithmic trivia in your interview.

We're also looking for:

- Senior technical product manager
- Product designers (enterprise type products and/or mobile)
- Android engineers
- Senior/Staff software engineers
- Chief of Staff

The deeper issue with plugins is that they create global state across everything.

Switching the execution engine to Kubernetes will help a lot with operational pain. But consider the comparison to Concourse, which also predates Kubernetes. What drove Concourse into being wasn't the lack of Kubernetes (being born during the Diego project, itself a container scheduler), it was the amount of time and pain and unsafety that came from relying on the status quo.

Kawaguchi's agenda is bold and necessary, but I think it's going to take a while to get through even half of it. But the world is better off when Jenkins improves, simply because of its phenomenal installation base. We all talk about Travis and Circle and Drone and Concourse and Gitlab here, but I would bet folding money that over 75% of actual bits going through CI are going through some version of Jenkins.

Disclosure: I work for Pivotal, we sponsor Concourse.
In my experience (I'm in the US) the chip cards were noticably slower when they were first introduced, but in the last year or so that seems to have been mostly resolved. Gas pumps are the one big holdout that still does mag-stripe reads. I don't think I've seen a chip read gas pump anywhere yet.
I saw Jenkins X a few months ago, it indeed looks interesting,

I have not used it as it's super new and I don't trust Cloudbees on the super new stuff anymore. I wish you guys all the best and I hope to use it in the future.

Talking about right now, if I remember correctly Concourse+Bosh can do a lot of that as well and it's a lot more battle tested so it's not like Jenkins X is all alone there on the "we can do everything" spot but it's refreshing to see it in the fight.

Neemo | iOS, Android, Ui/Ux & Design | Remote (or Waterloo, ON or Taipei) | Full Time / Technical Founders

Social sucks these days. Data driven utilities that are faceless and don’t care about their users. Let’s change that. Let’s make social integrate with real life, with space and time. Let’s make social ephemeral and lets make real connections.

Neemo plans to be the first popup social utility on the web. Think of it as a group whataapp chat centered around time and space. Wanna connect with everyone at the Golden State/Lakers game? Neemo makes it easy. Its like a flash mob… just there when you’re there for something fun, adding a layer for group chat, photo, video and meme sharing. Make new friends centered around where you are, now.

We've got a kickass name, people who helped found one of the fastest and most popular social networks in Asia (Plurk) and a beautiful vision. We just need other self starters who believe and want to help build the next generation of social utilities.

Email us with a resume or why you might be a good fit!

In reality this is a qualitative metric. If you can produce value as quick as our CTO Shevek then we will have no issue paying you at the top of the range.

As a bootstrapped company (9 employees in 6 countries, no two of us have the same nationality) - we pay a reasonable base and pay a significant year end bonus that is influenced by your work during the year, our profitability and where you live.

No doubt this is not a satisfying answer, but as a small company we have great flexibility to structure packages to meet each team member's requirements.

Even if remote technology was great, demographics and healthcare are going to make it difficult to convince people in tech jobs to move to rural areas. Young, college-educated tech workers tend not to want to hang out with people who are religious and/or not well-educated, and small-town America abounds with people who can't speak three sentences without mentioning god or jesus, who don't much care for skin-tone diversity, and who cannot converse about ideas. Yes, OF COURSE this is a generalization and there are notable exceptions -- like small (secular) college towns -- but it's such a predominant phenomenon in America that the exceptions are notably rare.

The other big problem with small towns is healthcare, and this is where older tech workers are going to have a problem. Healthcare in the US is well-known to be a dumpster fire and one reason is that it has become essentially unavailable in rural America. If you're older and need access to good doctors and hospitals, you need to live close to a major city, and even then it very much matters which city and which state you live in as to the quality of healthcare you'll get.

Small American towns have a lot of desirable qualities; they're often very pretty and the cost of living is quite low compared to cities. But they have a lot of catching up to do w.r.t. education and healthcare before they'll be competitive with cities for tech workers.

modify some farming equipment. First separate sand from plastic by washing it then float it though a vibrating tank to sort it. What part of the technology belongs on the tractor will have to be figured out over time.

If you separate it by type and size properly it can just be sold/recycled.

While it could be commercially viable I do think money should be pumped in from other sources. Preferably from [remaining] industries creating and using the materials found.
> Achondroplasia is prone to loss in bone mineral density & spinal stenosis.

Discontinuing the supplements seems like it was an error. Were there symptoms that led you to fear the impact on your kidneys specifically? Having the luxury of hindsight it seems like it would have been much better to consult with a physician about changes to dosage or other treatments that would still preserve bone density. Also might be useful for physician to realize how critical it is to impart details about the supplements as treatment and risks of stopping to the patient.

Do you have any sources about the wildlife concern? I was under the impression that the impact was negligible compared to the potential benefit.

Also, re: adding more plastic than was removed:

While that may be technically correct if it doesn’t work, the way I see it is this:

-this project:

-potential benefit to the oceans: high

-potential risk to the ocean: comparatively low

—99.9% of companies we debate about on this site:

-potential benefit to the oceans: zero

-potential risk to the oceans (assume here we are talking about any company that creates or purchases, directly or indirectly, any kind of plastic): high

On that alone, it seems like the risks far outweigh the benefits.

I also think if you think about the types of companies you see created every day: delivery services, manufactured products of any kind etc. All those companies have the externality of potential plastic waste. For example a delivery startup is going to be purchasing plastic spoons or plastic food boxes. No one is sitting around criticizing them for potentially adding plastic to the oceans. We all talk about economics and scale and product and software. But that company is almost certainly adding to the growing problem of plastic in the oceans without providing any upside.

Meanwhile this company is proposing launching large objects that could become waste in the oceans, yes. Although they are satellite tracked and I’m sure could be removed easily. But the upside is removing way more waste than they are discharging. So it seems worth the risk to me.
I watched my father die when he was 59, after a decade or so of bad health that meant he had to give up lots of his favourite hobbies.

I'm now 57. I have one or two minor health issues but (famous last words!) can still do most of the things I want to. I've also decided which side of the life-work balance I want to maximise (life, obviously) and have gone part time, with the support of my employer. So I don't make the mistake of putting things off until I retire, and then finding I don't have the capability to do them.

I decided that the next time someone asks me how old I am, I'm going to say positively 'almost 60' rather than 'late 50s' to show that I am still me and not planning to shuffle off this mortal coil just yet. Even if my feet are nailed to the perch, as it were. I'd change my mind for certain categories of disease, but there is no way I'd set an arbitrary limit.
Fact Labs | Founding Engineer | San Francisco and New York (NYC) | Onsite or Remote (US only) | Full Time
Building models in spreadsheets is broken. Spreadsheet models break down when you alter them, modularize them, or add more collaborators. Analysts in banking, investment management, and operations have gotten by with spreadsheets but not without enormous time and effort spent hacking around their many limitations.

Fact Labs has developed a more powerful, more collaborative modeling paradigm that is inspired by logic programming and applied ontology yet is still accessible to sophisticated but non-programmer analysts. We are a small, funded, early-stage team with significant domain experience with our target customers. The team previously worked together on a distributed search and data management startup and sold the company a few years back.

What we are looking for:

Fast, deliberate learners eager to translate concept into practice OR experienced hands ready to take significant design ownership

Strong computer science fundamentals, including algorithms and data structures

Experience with one of the following through professional, academic, or personal work:

- Database design and implementation (query processing/planning, database/storage engines)

- Language design and implementation (parser generators, interpreters, virtual machines, compilers)

- Logic programming (Prolog, Datalog, SAT/SMT solvers, etc.)

- Optimization (constraint satisfaction, combinatorial optimization, linear programming, etc.)

Language experience: C / Rust

Self-starting attitude with strong communication skills (especially written)

The modeling experience we’re building is unlike anything out there. If you believe that spreadsheets are not the last word in end-user programming, reach out to us (stephen [at] fac.tt) and tell us a little about yourself (bio, resume, or LinkedIn). We’d love to hear from you and show you what we’ve been up to!

Hmm, are you talking about the £30 limit? because other than having to manually enter a pin it doesn't seem significantly longer... no i haven't timed it, and I'm not saying that you're wrong, just that it still seems to be bellow a perceptibly significant amount of time. Or perhaps I just don't do enough shopping to have a broad enough range of samples.
I was hoping that the article would actually talk about string matching algorithms...
Is Group Policy Slowing Me Down?
I think this focus on plastics is actually harmful to the environment. The crucial issue of our time is climate change. Unless we can get climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, trying to reduce plastic is sweeping the deck of the Titanic.

The biggest barrier to climate change is convincing people to act. All this talk about plastic just consumes bandwidth.

In addition, this reinforces the the worse fears about environmentalists.

1. Many times the effects of plastic pollution in the ocean are exaggerated. There is not a huge island made of plastic floating in the ocean.

2. The amount of plastic that a western first world country contributes through plastic straws is basically a rounding error.

3. Plastic straw bans inconvenience the average person while not being a very efficacious way to reduce overall global plastic consumption.

Many people fear that if they give governments the mandate to regulate carbon, the government will pass a bunch of regulations that will just inconvenience them but not actually help with climate change in any meaningful way.
