Portchain | Copenhagen, Denmark | Fulltime | REMOTE | Full stack Software Engineer

We're hiring a full stack developer (NodeJS, ReactJS, Typescript, PostgreSQL, Python) to join our team of 4 remote developers (incl. the engineering manager onsite in Copenhagen).

Experience working remotely. Minimum 4 years of professional software engineering experience.

90% of all goods are transported in containers. The largest container vessels can take on 20,000 containers at a time. The industry is struggling like never before, and is fundamentally inefficient: 50% of all container vessels globally are delayed coming into port, most communication is conducted through phone and even fax, paper is still used in abundance, there can be over 15 process handovers moving a container, and there are large regional differences in performance among players.

We want to change that, and bring the industry into the digital age. Portchain (www.portchain.com) is a Danish startup founded by 3 McKinsey alums in February 2017 that aims to significantly reduce operational cost and complexity for all players while providing industry leading customer experience.

We have paying customers and starting to get traction through pilot projects, therefore looking for 2 new team members to join our team.

Let me clarify for you. I would like my $1300 phone to answer me when it’s sitting 3 feet away from me. I wanna start music, I want to pause music, I want to ask it questions, and I want it to work reliably.

When a timer stops, for example, I want to be able to say "hey Siri stop timer."

It’s perfectly acceptable if Apple doesn’t see this as a use case. I’ll simply take my business somewhere else to solve that problem. I'm simply throwing it out as a nice to have.

>the second or third time they get the same question, they'll actually stop what they're doing and fix the code.

This is great for actual issues, but what about the genuinely stupid questions? Or the customers who basically just refuse to read the Help section before contacting customer support? From my experience working in support, there are a fair amount of those. And those just seem like a waste of the engineers' time.
Since half of them are blocking every type of tracking known to man, in my view? Fuck that demographic.

Let all of your nerdy projects starve because you guys all hate marketing.
Maybe it's fine, but why do we assume it's default-fine? All over the world we see things run out of control when we steamroll an ecosystem.

My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I recall there was some news a year or two ago about Norway contemplating the installation of pumps to oxygenate fjords which had stagnated & began to become anoxic due to human activity, and were experiencing toxic blooms.

"Clojure is a functional programming language, that runs on JVM"

...which means that the party is over: anything that I cannot permanently compile into straight machine code and generate a binary executable will have a double performance penalty: once to process the bytecode, and once to just-in-time compile it. Why would anyone in their right might settle for that? Please wait - compiling the planet... that's insane. It's far better to stick with one of ANSI common Lisps and get incremental, instantaneous compilation to straight machine code for any expression which evaluates.
>Agreed... given the training regimes, they were probably consuming more than twice the amount of total food of people today.

Likely. Guys like Brian Shaw eat 10-12k kcals a day but they are walking around near 400lbs, amateur and semi-pro male powerlifters and oly lifters will eat 3-6k for maintenance and lean bulk depending on their size and weight class and that's just an hour or two of lifting 3-5x a week.

They'd have been shorter and likely leaner so I'd say 3k-4k kcals is a good guess based on my experience in strength sports and martial arts.

> However, the community seems to have already welcomed it, so I'm forced to learn the intricacies to be able to understand React codebases and keep up with the latest trend..

That's one thing that no many realizes: the JS community is special and you should take that in consideration when adding a new features.

When I say special, I mean it reacts (puns intended) in a way no other programming community does:

- it jumps on novelty with very little afterthoughs or regards for consequences.

- it has an habit of disregarding lessons from the past.

- it seldom fix problems, but add a new layer of solution on top of it.

Knowing this, the way hooks are released is too me like giving matches to children with the only advice "look how cool it is, I can make fireworks".

Yes, I'm exagerating for the argument sake. But still, react is now a software used everywhere, I'd welcome a switch from "move fast and break things" to "let's think this true" once in a while.
The biggest problem with GPU physics is that it's a very difficult problem to tackle and you'll run into compatibility issues between the hardware vendors. It'll work on Nvidia hardware and won't work on AMD or vice versa.

Many games do have spare GPU room to spare, but since there are no good GPU-accelerated solutions for physics they don't have much of a choice.
"Opioid prescriptions have been falling, even as the death rates from overdoses are rising"
Gee, it's almost as if "overprescribing" and then cutting off the supply had the affect of driving some who are addicted to buy opiates with less quality control, and they are dying from it.
Ah ok. Thanks for clarifying.
No, the ABI is actually the hard part. C++ doesn't even have a stable ABI within just its own ecosystem, ignoring interop with other languages.

Memory ownership is trivial by comparison, particularly in this case when all the languages have the equivalent of malloc/free, so you just make that part of the ABI surface.

Yes. People are interested in protein-drug interactions (protein ligand in general) as well as drug drug interactions... Small molecule structures (now helped by a fast cryoMR procedure). I bet the fast cryoMR stuff will be adapted to proteins too so we can get very good deep NN ML models in the very near future.
Lambdo is a workflow engine which simplifies data analysis by combining in one analysis pipeline

* Feature engineering and machine learning: Lambdo does not distinguish them and treats them as data transformations

* Model training and prediction: both feature definitions and ML models can be trained as part of one workflow

* Table population and column evaluation: workflow consists of nodes of these two types. This makes it similar to Bistro: https://github.com/asavinov/bistro

Lambdo is intended for the following use cases:

* Numerous derived features with parameters derived from the data

* Regular re-training is required by using the same features as those to be used during prediction

* Time series analysis because it is where the quality of derived features is especially important

* Customization via user-defined Python functions
i believe it's exactly because of their past and established attitudes that they feel they need to be extremely precautionary
Evidence is evidence. Witness testimony is evidence, photographs are evidence, video is evidence, dna is evidence. All evidence has credibility, which can be challenged.

Every case is different: witness testimony can be far more credible than photo evidence, dna evidence can be less credible than video evidence.

There is — as far as I know — no legal system in the world that measures the validity of a case based on the amount or type of evidence. You can absolutely be convicted on witness testimony alone in the US. That’s very unlikely but entirely possible under the law.
I think Microsoft might also be working on a newer system with that goal: https://github.com/Microsoft/xlang

I haven't really looked at that in detail, but I would find any tooling for better language interoperability very worthwhile.
Yes, some people do this e.g. extract a plausible face from DNA.

KYND | Full Stack Product Engineer (React & Node) | Porto, Portugal | ONSITE

We are an early stage startup (< 15 people total) building a cybersecurity risk management tool for businesses. We scan a business's public infrastructure over the internet, detect potential threats and make (non-technical) customers aware of them in a manageable way through our product, which is a React web application backed by a Node/express API.

The product is shipped and in beta at the moment, after 10 months of work. I'm looking for product engineers to help further improve the product and add the long list of exciting features we have planned. You'll be joining a distributed team led by me from the London office. You'll be based in Porto, as one of the first people in the new office we're opening there.

You are a product-focused full stack engineer who wants to build web applications with React. You should have solid demonstrable experience building React web apps. You should have the ability to build full stack features (database down to CSS) without help. You should have some experience building APIs - the language/framework is not that important though you should be happy to work in Node/express.

Please email me directly at dave+hn@kynd.io to apply. I'm Dave, lead product engineer here - you'll be joining my team. You can check out my details in my profile :-)

Site: https://kynd.io
App: https://app.kynd.io (you can't get past the sign in screen but just to show you that we have our product live!)
This is possible in the US. Imagine someone rapes a nun, and she testifies to it. She identifies the defendant, and in his testimony he denies it. If the jury finds her testimony more credible — to the extent that there is not a reasonable doubt as to his guilt — they can convict him.

Of course, it helps if there is corroborating evidence, but there is no rule that says one cannot be convicted (in the US) based on a victim's testimony alone. It just doesn't happen often because usually there is some sort of corroborating evidence of a crime, and because it's hard to eliminate all reasonable doubt without any.
I'm not an expert but, psychedelics wouldn't help treat the withdrawal part of addiction. Increased access to suboxone would be helpful for that.
I've been meaning to ask if "townrdsdatascience" is a serious website, but I guess this answers it.

It seems in order for the argument here to make sense, you have to say that predictive modelling is outside the field of statistics, and that "a class of computational algorithms" (presumably including classic ML algorithms such as decision trees, random forest and support vector machines) are also not statistical algorithms.

The author gets close to having a point when saying that in reinforcement learning you may not even have a dataset, so what is there to make statistics on? Well, you make statistics on the generated data.

I think he is right once he starts talking about approach and not knowing "variance of a population, or to define marginal probability" is not necessary to perform ML. I mean, you can perform ML without knowing what variance is, just as well as you can perform psychology experiments without knowing the variance, but I get his point:

Classical statistics is very much focused on explaining a dataset, whereas ML is very much focused on making future predictions. And you can combine and build a lot of predictive models, without the knowledge of the other half of statistics, and vice versa. But this argument is like saying topology isn't math because it is about shapes and not numbers. Or that NLP is not neither machine learning or statistics, because it is about language.

> If it doesn't matter after X time, chances are it probably doesn't matter now.

May I disagree? How this applies to time-sensitive matters?
> to protect themselves in the face of what they consider unreasonable political correctness -- or to simply do the right thing.

I wish the author spent some time on elaborating what the right thing is. The right thing might be too obvious for me to realize what it is.

Jared, Kay Jewelers Parent Fixes Data Leak
So... you think it is fair to the woman in example 1 to have the same term applied to example 2?

1- The first woman's gang rape where she spent months in the hospital recuperating.
2- An upper middle class woman getting told in a loud manner "uuuuhhh girl, you're looking finnnnneeee today"

Really? You can't see the difference between 1 and 2? You can't see the need for different terminology?

That's on you. I find it silly, and I find the confounding hurts everyone involved. Including girl #2, who has a legitimate complaint, but seems ridiculous using the terminology that is used for #1.

It also creates an environment of emotions and hysteria instead of reason and logic applied to resolving problems.
Dr. Greger just released a video about this, too -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2e9sLsCowaE
And herein lies the problem with #MeToo. NDT thought he was being curious and pointing something out, the woman thought she was being sexually harassed. This is the problem, that any action can be construed as sexual harassment.
So like aluminum then.
Having spent some time with this team, I can vouch for how great they are. Something not mentioned that's pretty cool is that the engineering team gets to work a lot with their customers, who include companies like npm, Travis, and HashiCorp. If you're in LA, and interested in developer tools and startups, it will be tough for you to find a better place to join.
> I want my $1300 phone to answer me when it’s sitting 3 feet away from me.

Is this a problem you have? I'm able to reliably use Siri on my phone from up to maybe 2-3 feet away in a moderately noisy environment (casual conversation around a table) with almost no issue, and I can easily use it up to 10+ feet away in a quiet environment. I've had this success since the 7+ at least (when I tested it), but I've continued to see such performance on the X and XS Max.
