Coveo | Solution Developer - Implementation | Montreal & Quebec City, Canada | Full-time, ONSITE

You'll implement search based applications that change the digital experience for our customers and their customers. We warn you: it will be no simple task… Coveo has game-changing features out-of-the-box, but you will need great business acumen and technical skills to configure it perfectly to our customer’s environment. We are not talking about the color of the UI here: indexing, in the cloud, millions of documents in hundreds of different systems and deliver search results that are relevant to the user’s situation in less than a second brings its own particular challenges. You'll be making use of JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, C# and ASP.NET and are comfortable working on both Windows and Linux.

While we offer all the perks people come to expect of a job (great new offices, top of the line equipment, competitive salaries and insurance, unlimited cappucinos and snacks, nerf gun battles), we think the best part about working with us is simply being excited about going to work every day. On a day to day basis you'll continually face interesting challenges, have great autonomy and you'll be able to bring your ideas to the table knowing that your team genuinely wants to hear them.

Coveo is positioned as the top leader for Insight Engines in Gartner's 2017 Magic Quadrant (http://blog.coveo.com/coveo-leads-gartner-magic-quadrant-for...). We're growing quickly and hiring talented, passionate developers to join our worldclass team. Our Montreal offices are brand new (http://blog.coveo.com/coveo-montreal-finally-home/) and we've also rebuilt our entire Quebec City office to accomodate all our new hires in a great environment.

In my opinion, this is true for some main points, but definitely not for all of them.

A key difference between the languages is in how easily you can reason about programs. In Prolog, if you program in the pure monotonic subset of the language, you get certain algebraic guarantees that are not available in Lisp. For instance, for pure Prolog code and a declarative reading, removing a goal can at most increase the set of solutions, and removing a clause can at most decrease the set of solutions.

In Prolog, these guarantees can be used to test and debug your programs by logical reasoning. In fact, to a significant extent, you can even automate debugging due to these properties. Such techniques were pionereed by Ehud Shapiro in his 1982 PhD thesis, Algorithmic Program Debugging:

http://cpsc.yale.edu/sites/default/files/files/tr237.pdf

The thesis is an excellent read, and I highly recommend it! Specifically, quoting from page 155:

“Although Lisp is considered a high level language, it is not
clear that it encourages precision and clarity of thought. As one
Lisp hacker puts it [91]: "Lisp...is like a ball of mud. You can
add any amount of mud to it...and it still looks like a ball of
mud!". This aspect of Lisp is the hacker's delight, but the
theoretician's nightmare. It is known that one may implement
without too much effort a reasonable Prolog in Lisp. However, the
issue is not implementation — the issue is the method of thought.
Based on my experience with both languages I maintain that one's
thoughts are better organized, and one's solutions are clearer
and more concise, if one thinks in Prolog rather than in Lisp.”

Another key feature of Prolog is that constraints blend in seamlessly, leading to an important declarative programming paradigm called constraint logic programming (CLP). This is the key reason why Prolog is frequently used to solve combinatorial tasks in practice, and often an important motivation for buying a commercial Prolog system.

NO. Condos are actually really crappy places to live, like being in an apartment complex but you have to pay a (generally) overly burdensome HOA, deal with politics and power play issues, not to mention the noise and nuisance of being in an apartment. Townhomes are better, but truly the "dream home" is still your own house, no HOA, with space between you and your neighbors, a dedicated place to park your car, and the freedom to say "get off my lawn."
Lyft has enriched its investors far more than any baseball player could even dream of. You're just looking at accounting losses. But when this IPOs, early stage investors will have all made billions.
Generally speaking someone who's qualified to lead an operation to "restore an aircraft to airworthy condition" is also technically qualified to fly it even if they don't have the proper credentials.
Still does. I grew up near Oak Brook, IL, which used to have the corporate hq of McDonalds, and still has Hamburger University.

I believe every franchisee is required to attend Hamburger U. There are a number of corporate-owned stores in the area where the a lot of the staff is white-collar professionals in training. Those stores are always amazing.

In general stores in the Chicagoland region are way better than stores elsewhere, and I think part of this is due to the fact that corporate sends managers around for training here. I didn't understand the "mcflurry machine is broken" meme until I took a road trip. I had a number of horrible experiences, including a 20 minute wait for a mcflurry that ended up having more ice cream on the outside of the cup than the inside.

Too bad the right has made science, education, spelling and punctuation such partisan issues.
If anything, I would say that the markets are out of control. Many large companies are gorged with debt and are afraid of what higher interest rates would mean for that debt, and thus the market panicked at the end of Q4 which slowed down the Fed.

We've been in a low interest rate environment for all of my adult life, at some point the crows will come to roost and these companies will need to pay the price for their strategy of taking on debt + share buybacks and come back to earth. I'm extremely dissapointed that the Fed was spooked out of performing their duty by Wall St.
>There's been recent success in the old school technique of 'striking'.

All of those skilled jobs you speak of are full of people who don't understand what good a union does. Literally complaining that a union is worthless while reaping the benefits and job stability that only a union can provide. I don't know if it's a matter of education or if people are really just going to have to experience for themselves how horrible the working world is/will become when there are no unions to protect them...
Maybe. Running your own infrastructure at large scale is actually really hard and therefore surprisingly expensive in risk and talent cost. If you look at how big the internal infra teams are at companies that host their own infrastructure, they're often individually the size of growth stage companies.

The problem is that provisioning, reliability, and security are by themselves really tough problems. If those issues aren't in your company's core competencies, it's not necessarily efficient to invest in building out all of that.

I look at it as the question: can you get the same set of agility/reliability/security guarantees for your narrower set of use cases by paying for your own hardware and engineering? I won't even begin to pretend I have any answers there, but I think that's the calculus.
You're arguing an is with an ought. People ought to be able to to transact anonymously and without any middle-men. In reality, most people are only willing to put up with the inconveniences of bitcoin because it lets them side-step the law.
Replace it sooner than later... my 6p's battery lost a lot of life, charging became irratic, then it literally caught fire when the tech was replacing the screen and battery. Now on a Pixel 2 XL (since I couldn't wait for the 6p replacement at the time).
While I do share your frustration most of the time, for some reason I've never felt it when reading a Brain Pickings post.

I'm not sure why, but I think it's because I know what to expect, and so when I do read one of these articles, my state of mind is to just kind of take in whatever idea is expressed, to click on the copious amount of links, and to write down the titles of any materials that seem interesting.

The style feels fitting for a blog/magazine that mostly seems to offer surface-level ideas, often interesting, with links and references to various source materials. It's a bit like the difference between actively using google/wikipedia/stanford encyclopedia of philosophy and passively clicking around on tvtropes.org.
You can have multiple cheap origins behind your CDN, and use DNS to load balance/failover between them.
My point is that the government shouldn't be itching to get itself in the business of retaliating against foreign attacks on non-government entities. Eventually the attackers and the attacked will sort themselves out. There's no need for taxpayer money to be spent on such things.
Two hard drives destroyed? I believe the enemy is in panic right now.

Tech Stack: Lever uses our own open source MVC framework called Derby that syncs all data via Operational Transformation (the algorithm behind Google Docs). OT is the way we handle concurrency conflicts for any piece of data that is edited at the same time. In addition to real-time sync, OT allows us to provide a smoother UI since we can render updates on the client instantly without waiting for our backend to respond, while still guaranteeing consistency.

Lever makes extensive use of AWS, Docker, Node, Mongo, ElasticSearch, and Redis within our infrastructure. We use tools like Hubot to streamline deployments and Grafana to see what’s going on under the hood. In addition to automating all the things, we love to version them too! Our systems are all created using Terraform and Chef, working together to ensure consistency at all costs.

FYI, a bit of info rarely covered by Western media. China's attitude towards Uyghurs in the 20th century was super relaxed. As a result, the number of mosques grew from 2000 to 22000, Islam population grew rapidly while secular Uyghurs population shrunk, women started putting on black dresses, and children no longer went to schools and got educated in mosques instead. Entering 21st century, Uyghurs extremists bombed a few buses, slaughtered hundreds of Han civilians in city downtowns, and injured thousands. Then the CCP started the crackdown, and it's also a main driving factor for implementing the Great Firewall.

IMO, it was shown again and again during WWI that mobility/logistic issues always favored defensive strategies when a determine force was present on both sides.

I doubt there's 1-3 things that would have dramatically altered the outcome.
That's because most people religiously put faith in dumb news outlets of USA and keeps repeating the same arguments without trying to fully understand them. They have gotten accustomed to outsourcing critical thinking process to news orgs.
Many posts here about how Bitcoin is not user friendly, and how it can't compete with existing (digital) payment solutions in terms of UX. My experience with it is quite the opposite, and I prefer paying with Bitcoin/cryptocurrencies in most (but not all) situations.

My phone has a wallet app with some small amount of Bitcoin on it. If I have to pay for something, all it takes is opening the app, scanning a QR code, and clicking ok. For paying beers at a bar (which I have done) the setup is slightly less convenient than NFC touch-to-pay solutions but not significantly worse. But for things like purchasing digital goods or other items online, the process is sometimes significantly better than alternatives. If I purchase something from an online vendor it's the same process; QR code shows up, I scan it with my app, and press ok. For this scenario it is almost always more convenient than having to enter some payment information, or logging in to some payment processor like PayPal or whatever solution my bank has implemented.

The downsides are that my phone effectively has a bundle of cash strapped to it, and when I lose the phone my cash is gone too. Getting the money onto my phone is also not the most convenient process as I need some external service like an exchange to acquire the coins first.

Not all the problems have been solved, but things are slowly getting better. Just like Linux on the Desktop, people will keep repeating the same story that it's never going to happen, but the reality is that modern Linux distributions have nearly the same install-and-go ergonomics as Windows, with many happy users.

Well yeah, why do you think people oppose renewables? Allowing renewable energy to propagate would be letting the liberals win. Can't have that.
Root Cause Analysis for Bourbon Warehouse Collapse
Lisp ain't no "secret weapon" anymore. Clojure has restored historical awesomeness of Lisp. It's been rated as the most paid PL in most popular dev surveys of the past two-three years. Companies like Apple, Cisco, Amazon (even NASA) are using Clojure today in production.
They have many teams making their own web services, so replacing AWS with in-house infra would require an AWS-like “private cloud” feature set, backed by geographically distributed datacenters. Network segmentation that is managed by configuration, user accounts with permissions to do specific things to specific services, etc. Engineers to build all this stuff are not cheap, and management to build and migrate to it cleanly it is not easy. If you can do this you ought to be selling cloud services. Even if it makes sense for Lyft to implement this, it would take a while. The RIO is probably much better on improving their core product, where there is more than $100M/year at stake.
Same here, and I think it's a better way to handle it.

If the person opening the account is physically standing in the bank lobby, showing ID is strong evidence they are who they say they are.

But accepting a scanned copy of an ID online is in many ways more risky than alternative verification methods, it only tells you that the person had access to a picture of an ID. It's assumed that would be difficult if they weren't who they say they are, but that's not a reasonable assumption and banks clearly know that.

I wouldn't be surprised if identity thieves have access to real scans of IDs at this point. A lot of online services have been asking people to scan and upload them for things like "verifying" your Twitter or Facebook account, so people may not be as cautious about doing that as they should be.
We have been for decades. Often with actual bombs and bullets.
A lot of that is proper drivers for the next version against Android's mainline. Since phone carriers and vendors often don't do the updates, the hardware is stuck, even for third parties. Sometimes a given chip might be supported if/when a similar hardware phone sees an updated Android, and someone skilled in the community can dump the drivers and port them to something like Lineage or another custom/modern rom.

>Maybe eventually news outlets will have enough information about you that they will figure out how to serve you better.

They don't gather that information to "serve you better" they gather it "serve you up better"! They are going to use the information to grab the attention of your eyeballs for their own purposes not to better serve you. Remember if your not paying for the product you are the product.
The "force of law" was largely on the side of the Rwandan genocide, so it's a slightly nonsensical example, although some of the broadcasts do satisfy the tight bound of speech that calls for "imminent lawless action" (which is the most recent criteria set by the US Supreme Court).

Aside from that, both of those examples are examples where the harm comes from a specific action (or inaction), rather than the speech itself. If refusing to vaccinate children was treated as criminal neglect and unvaccinated children were forcibly removed from their families, people could talk and talk all they want and it wouldn't matter.
A very similar idea is expressed here [1] . Instead of lamenting loss, frame it as a purchase of tranquility.

> Tesla is committed to making not just the best electric cars, but the best cars, period. And our products are the reason we continue to rank #1 in Consumer Reports owner satisfaction survey and have every single year since Tesla was first eligible to be included in 2013

I am making a bold prediction. Tesla may or may not go under water, but when they are short on funds Apple will acquire them.

Apple’s whole brand is built on making the best hardware and software and weaving them to a great user experience.

With billions of dollars in the bank, Apple would be stupid to not do it.
