Beckman Coulter Life Sciences | JavaScript or C# Engineers | SW Oregon | Full-time | Onsite

BC makes actual hardware products. This group makes boxes that sniff air and tell you how clean it is. Useful for microchip makers and especially drug companies.

We’re not a startup, which means you don’t have to deal with 20-something hotshots who have something to prove, all the while writing code for products that nobody will ever want. We don’t work 12-hour days while pretending to have unlimited personal time. It’s a mature company that treats its employees with respect and pays them well. And it makes actual stuff that gets built and shipped out the door.

It also wants to stay relevant with the latest technologies and needs your skills to keep up with the workload. We have 14 openings right now. The average employee here is probably over 35, and over a decade of service.

Salary range? I’m getting paid more here than I ever did in California, and my annual take-home starts with a 2. You don’t have to take a pay cut to move here. And holy @#$% does it go far.

Imagine, living in a small city with a surprising array of big-city amenities, beautiful mountains everywhere, where almost everyone’s nice, most men wear beards, and you can afford a house with a yard on a single income. Maybe like the town you grew up in. We’re 4 hours from Portland, so don’t worry about getting too much of that scene unless you want to.

After grinding it out in the SF bay area dystopia for years, I felt like I’d died and gone to heaven when I took this job. If you do well on your resume and phone screen, BC will fly you out for a daylong onsite, which is really useful if you’re on your last dime after getting sucked dry by California rents. How about leaving that scene behind?

We want talent, and we don't get hung up on irrelevant details. Email me at <username>@beckman.com.
React Suite 3.4.0 Release Update – Support for TypeScript
This really really sounds like an argument for adding a “name density” slider somewhere in the corners of the main UI. Just admit that no one setting works for all people in all places and stop even trying to find it.
Most of our work involves engineers, designers, and product managers. Under the product category, there's also the notion of a "bureaucracy hacker" who helps get things done and launched. Those folks might not always be super technical, but are good at pushing to make forward progress.
I've been finding Apple's 3D maps a spectacular success over Google's for a while. Yes, they do make it easier to find the building you're looking for. And, give visual clues about where you should be driving. Very little clutter, large fonts make it easier to see the map on your car dashboard. Well done, Apple!
Any kind of wood over all else.

If a restaurant brings out metal chopsticks with my food, the wood ones from my bag come out.

Telescoping metal chopsticks sounds like a solution looking for a problem personally. It's not like bamboo disposable chopsticks weigh much, just stick them somewhere.
Apple will stop reporting how many iPhones, iPads and Macs it sells
Trap streets are one odd street, not a whole town. This is clearly not what is happening at all.

Maybe, and this is just a guess, making good hardware isn't actually that easy? Did they hire any pros or did they try to build the knowhow internally?
They expect their devs to be equally enthusiastic, the true believers are also gullible enough to work unpaid overtime.
The bulk of the .com era was still on SUN and commercial Unicies. Linux was still in its early adopter phase. It was only in the 2000s that it started to get widespread adoption.

It's more complex than that. To heat up by those 2C, water takes over 4 times as much energy as air does. On the other hand, most of the warming happens in the upper layer of the ocean, which is a big issue because it messes with the ocean's circulation.
Massive study into link between cell phones and cancer is almost irrelevant
The shape of e.g. a wooded area can be important for orientation when on foot.

But really, maps are nothing but shapes (streets, waterways, coastlines) that constrain navigation on the ground, so it's difficult to make sense of your proposed focus on destinations to the exclusion of shapes.
I am unclear on why support of the legally elected president should be a problem for a legal immigrant. If that were so, Melania ought to be knifing Donald in his sleep every other night.

You missed it, all answered in the article
Thanks for not understanding the problem and making a trite snipe at the rural people of Canada.

People who live in these places do absolutely use these buses, and some people do need them, but (while I'm not sure about service cost) the prices go up regularly, many buses are packed, slow, and chronically late, and the population is in fact falling dramatically in rural Canada as the elderly move to care homes in the cities where their children already live -- it's not necessarily about choice, but about demographic and geographic change over decades.

If there is a moral here it is not "use it or lose it". Perhaps instead it is merely that we won't be able to rely on even the services we feel are essential, as the world changes around us over time.
"real"
Announcing TiDB Cloud, Managed as a Service and in the Marketplace
I have gone down such rabbit holes before. However, it's easy to demonstrate you can't compress arbitrary unbiased random data without going lossy.

For every possible input 0 to X you need to map to a different 'compressed' format. So, if you want to handle every possibility then some of your compressed versions need to be as long if not longer than the original version. That's not a problem if their is some bias in how your generating the data. Just map the more common versions to shorter encoding and you get a useful compression even if sometimes it makes things worse on average their is an improvement. But, with unbiased random data you can't chose which subset is more likely because every version is equally likely. Which is why it does not work.
That's fine. That's your preference. No one is saying you can't have a preference. I prefer the iPhone and none of the Android phones that I've tried and used regularly hold a candle to it. The argument was that these less-expensive phones are 90% of the way there and I disagree. I used to like to tinker with phones a lot. Now I just want something that works every time I use it without fuss. There's no phone that's close to where the iPhones are in those terms.
Well that is terrifying, the fact you have to think ahead like that, fearing what you might have to say, assuming a default.

Since it is a binary option with moral overtones and since your boy will eventually compare notes with his contemporaries you could gift him a story that sidesteps the matter.

The story might not be grounded in truth any more than Santa Claus is. The mythical backstory could be that it was decided on a coin toss, heads it stayed on, tails it came off. Maybe embellish it so that the doctor, his mum and yourself all had coins, it being a 'best of three' with the doctor calling 'tails', you calling 'heads' and his mum having the deciding coin.

Such a white lie can be useful for him when he needs to dig himself out of a conversational hole when he gets older so as to not have that awkward moment with a religious workmate/sister's boyfriend etc., even if by then he knows the story is a myth.
They still lack open comparability, which the unix shells somewhat have (via the pipe operator). ios's shortcuts app isn't really the same thing, at least yet, and I am guessing the situation on android is similar (but would love a correction if Android has something materially better!!).
On the one hand, I will compliment this and say what a good idea is this is. The world is becoming, on average, a less violent, more prosperous place since the industrial revolution. Fewer people starve and there is much less armed conflict. People need to be reminded of this. But it can be a really dangerous game to live in an bubble and turn blinders on to reality. I hope everyone can take this "not depressing" news dose and also keep an eye on reality. Final thought: Being depressed by the news, any news, is a choice. Depression from the news is often from a feeling of powerlessness over the situation. But what you can control are your emotions and your decision to be depressed by the news. Channeling Epictetus here. He would just tell us to decide not to be depressed and focus on what you can control. Politics got you down? Vote. Get others to vote. Become involved. Local politics are important, etc. That is my thoughts, hopefully that seems balanced. That said, bookmarking this site and I will see how it evolves.
>and I think I have a flickr account somewhere

Thank you.

So, you are not an active user of the platform we are discussing here, you are not affected by the update, and you don't know what it is that I'm talking about except for in general terms.

In light of that, stating your opinion on whether I can call myself a devoted user, and comment on what I should or should not expect from the service that you are not using seems.. mysterious?

And I didn't even get into a fraction of features and data that Flickr stores with photos (comments, photos being part of a set, etc -- Flickr is a social network, after all) that are hard or nearly impossible to back up. We are not discussing the merits of backups here, but let's not pretend that users who back up their files meticulously will not be adversely affected if they don't pay up within 3 months.
I had the lowest tier macbook for 7-8 years (upgraded RAM and HD to SSD). Replaced it with a macbook pro from Ebay, which I found for $400 (Was a fluke, it had ubuntu on it and I think that confused people), which I've now had for 5 years. I still rock an iPhone 5 (never had a case either). Apple products definitely last for me.
Depends on how your architecture, github as a whole likely has volume of writes greater than a single server instance, however either components could be split in separate dbs ( seems to be their approach) or shard / partition the data
I've had this MacBook for 2 years now and the keyboard is still working. I have a year-old work machine too with the v2 keyboard and it's still working. Maybe I'm just more careful around my expensive electronics than most. Who knows?
Then the whole cloth would unravel as soon as one careless author made a historical error or used anachronistic language. All the other works that cite this work, and any that cite those, etc., would all be proved frauds. Yet this has not happened.

Moreover, new ancient works and new physical evdience (coins, letters, inscriptions in stone) have continued to be found, yet somehow they have all remained consistent with the tremendous fraud that was perpetrated 500-600 years ago. To explain this requires a vast, multi-century conspiracy.
In true Canadian style, the switchover was meticulously orderly and boring.

Yes, would love to see some stuff here as well. Not much open source, difficult domain problem, apacke tika seems to be mentioned sometimes as backend tool
Agreed. My entire family now has Apple products because I hand them down when I buy the newer models. I'm sure I could sell most of them and get some of my money back but it's worth it to me in both cost and hassle to just give my family the old stuff since I know it's both good and really simple to use for them. With family sharing and all the other good stuff, it's the easiest my IT work I've done. lol
Filming in Japan 2018
What would you call it then?
I think the author missed that the old version, and Google Maps currently, typically use green to denote certain types of public land (parks, national forest, etc.) not vegetation per se. Apple is solving a different use case by color coding by vegetation. And It's one that I think is less useful. KNowing that there is vegetation on someone else's private land isn't really that useful to me. But knowing the boundaries of a national forest is extremely useful.
BK car crash
Whether or not the world has been warmer in the past is entirely and completely irrelevant. The only thing that matters is that we are provably massively accelerating the current warming, causing changes to weather, water and food systems we rely on for our survival. If we don't make equally massive sacrifices to fix this, we will lose our food, water, and land. This isn't the time for middlebrow devils-advocate games, it is the time for action.

> My dad was and is the same way -- everyone is in some massive conspiracy plot to misguide the public.

My dad was never this way until Youtube. It took him down the rabbit hole and spat him out onto informationclearinghouse.info .

I love my dad, but sadly these days I avoid discussing controversial topics with him.
Now that's some clever cooking. I'd not have thought of that.

There's a lot of politics on Twitter. Sometimes people get overwhelmed and then say stuff like "Send me all your puppy pic feeds."

I don't really know how to self promote on Twitter. You will need to figure that part out yourself.
On McMansion Hell [1] one of the common criticisms is the mismatched windows. Aesthetic considerations aside, having mismatched windows can be a maintenance issue. One example might be hurricane shutters for homes along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts---if all the windows are of the same style, it's cheaper (or easier) to obtain the proper shutters (you don't have to obtain six different sizes) and eases installation when required.

Complex roof lines (another symptom of McMansion Hell) leads to leaky roofs [2] and expensive repairs.

[2] Frank Lloyd Wright's houses notoriously leaked along the roofs. When called upon it, he is recorded as having remarked, "That's how you tell it's a roof!"
> You're going to need a lot of film. Good luck picking the controls for that that ensure your ML system picks up on subtle differences in humans that are lying and not glaringly obvious differences in appearance, accent and even background noise between the footage of the convicts and the control group...

I assume you would isolate the people in pre-processing, and do feature extraction of things you might think are interested in. Yes, it'd still require a lot of data, but that data may exist somewhere. A lot of these things are filmed.
How can violating someone's privacy improve their place database? Extract "I'm waiting at <restaurant name> now" from people's iMessage chats???

Google has been connecting place names by OCRing storefronts taken with their street view cars. Apple claim to be doing the same thing (but apparently doing a far worse job of it)

Better than the status quo of regulating everyone to build strip malls.
Even with the case having to be brought to the SC, I wonder if this is Mexico’s initial step toward attempting to curb the drug cartels. With the states legalizing recreational marihuana, that has already slowed down a lot of the over-the-border smuggling, at least IIRC without digging up articles.

OT: Canada seems to maybe thinking the same thing with legalizing. If we legalize it, we’re erasing the incentive of backpacking through the back channels of the Canada-US border.
One of the main takeaways in this talk addresses this directly. He's not advocating for everyone being smart, in fact being smart counts for very little. So how do we move forward as a species? The big ideas. However, it's hard to get adults to change and start using the big ideas so teaching kids is our best move.

> * Prior use defense: if you used a method before it was patent, you don't have to pay to license the patent.

This is perhaps the best way to actually protect yourself in some business situations where enforcing the patent and getting it in the first place is going to require too much effort for the given use case. You can just post a sealed copy of the invention to your solicitor, then crack on with making the product. If someone beats you to market and wants to sue you for copying their patent then you should be covered nicely, you have hard evidence you have not stolen 'their' idea.

You also don't have to publish for the world to see what your key invention is. If it is a manufacturing technique that is required to make an existing product more affordably then you can keep your invention secret that way.
Everything you're saying is valid.

It just doesn't invalidate the point the article is making.

Your point - which I'll paraphrase as don't sell something you can't build - is valid and important.

The article's point - which may be paraphrased as don't build something you can't sell - is also valid and important.

Neither is more important than the other; like basically everything in business there is a tradeoff, and the ones who succeed will be the ones who get the tradeoff right.

But the author makes their point because they see too many people over-optimising on the "build first" approach and failing, when they might have avoided failure if they'd done a bit more "sell first" - or, as the article actually says, "talk to potential customers to properly understand what they want first".

You're getting frustrated (indeed, coming across as enraged) and resorting to strawman and absurdist arguments because you're incorrectly seeing the article as making an absolutist point, and then responding to it with your own opposing absolutist point. If you just approach the topic with appropriate nuance you'll save yourself the need to be frustrated.

Edit: changing implied quotes to be clear they're paraphrased.
