Lendable | Backend Engineer | London, UK | ONSITE

Lendable is the UK's fastest growing consumer lending platform. We are well-funded, profitable, and grew fourfold last year. In the five years since inception we have lent £500 million to UK consumers. Our automatic lending platform allows customers to apply for and receive their loan in under 20 minutes (instead of the industry norm of 2+ days).

We are looking for:
- Software engineers experienced in PHP with CQRS and Event Sourcing to kick start a new green field project. We are building this new product from scratch in a DDD approach. Tech Stack: Mostly Symfony with some services in python, node

- Software engineers experienced in PHP and Symfony to work on the existing loans platform. We'll gladly support you learning some more specific stuff that we use: Amazon SQS, Aurora, Docker, React.JS, Ansible.

- Devops engineers to shape our environments using Terraform and Ansible who are comfortable to manage deployment pipelines into a Kubernetes environment while helping developers grow. You will love this if you are open to new ideas and happy to build them - less likely if you’re looking for guidance. We use AWS but eyeing up to GCloud and Azure. Development stack is PHP, Python, Node, FPM, nginx, Aurora, redis, elasticsearch.

Interested in any of these roles? Get in touch with benjamin@lendable.co.uk

> those are European concepts

Only inasmuch as they were born in Europe who in turn had to flee their home country to pretty much make it a reality.

In the article in questions here no one is talking about intervening in the internal affairs of other countries.

The point of contention is that China is actively working to prevent the very discussion of what is happening under its authority. And they are actively using violent physical force to impose their authority and prevent discussion and dissent within their borders.

Is history replete with examples of Western countries undertaking violent imperialistic expansion? Absolutely.

Is that what we're doing now or talking about here? No.

> I'm not even sure if they're really expressible in endogenous Chinese languages.

And it never will be expressible unless and until free and open discussion can be engaged in.

It's real and common. However, you're an individual person, and it'll affect you differently than it does others.

You won't find an answer by asking people on HN. You need individual assessment and care from a counselor or therapist.

If it's just boredom, you can always stop seeing them. If it's more than that, you'll find that it's worth the time and money to see a professional.

> - A huge ecosystem of libraries for everything from data science to email processing, that are (mostly) easy to read and modify and free from systemic security issues. And pretty much every major company with an API has an official Python library for that API.

I disagree about this, there's not even a basic user signup flow plugin with page templates that would allow SSO and U2F, it was so when I was looking at it three months ago. With Flask I can use Flask-Security, Flask-Dance and I have user signup, pw resets, SSO. With CSRF protection out-of-box and bunch of other security features are easy to turn on compared to Django. What I did like about Django was the idea and maybe I would've liked Django-Admin if I didn't have to reinvent three wheels out of four.

It’s probably not helping that the username is “ecmascript” on a python post.

When I first started getting into database I found the terminology a little jarring. I know it’s common and the intention is ok, still not a big fan.

But the python community should be ok with renaming things: frankly Lists are just arrays and dictionary’s are hash tables
That’s a pretty standard CI process - zip files are often your deploy artifact (using, for example, git archive)
I think you're making a number of assumptions about the size and maturity of the parent's organization; it could be just one person.

With the right tools and processes, it's possible to build very successful companies with tiny engineering teams. Developers run queries against prod because there's nobody else to do so. The risk of mistakes is mitigated by the increased situational awareness and the developer quality and communication in 3-teams vs 30-teams.

Neither approach is inherently 'wrong', although running a 30-person team the same way as a 3-person team (or vice versa) can have nasty consequences.

That part was luck. These two companies both got me through their interview process at the same time, and they both gave me about a week to respond as well.

I'm also in a unique situation- I think I am actually sort of hard to replace, as I live/work in a smaller Midwest city. My manager has no interest in hiring a remote developer, and we've been struggling to hire people for the past year or so.

I don't think I'd try this at every company or in every city.
> That's a universal global thing now.

Except for China. And not really even for India. Or for much of the Middle East, for that matter. Or even for Russia, when you really get down to it.

So maybe not so much a "global" thing. Maybe a European culture thing. Which thinks that it ought to be global.

And yet, I do believe that it ought to be global. But I realize that I'm on shaky ground there.
The article really buries the relevant info:

>the CCSS Math 8 course that eighth graders are now expected to take includes 60% of the material from the old Algebra I course. This includes linear equations, roots, exponents, and an introduction to functions. The new course also offers students a taste of geometry and statistics—hardly your typical middle school fare.

So it isn't really that big of a deal...

Trick question, candle aint gonna burn the rope there.
I, no kidding, had a PC once that booted up better if opened up the side and pointed a space heater directly into it.

On cold starts it would boot, then lose all power seconds later, boot again, and it would work for a few seconds longer than before, rinse and repeat 5 times or so and it would finally stay booted. After surmising that it was temperature related, I decided to try applying extra heat. It worked. After it was running for 2 or 3 minutes I would turn the heater off.

I never identified what component was causing this.

Don't you just let nginx/CDN handle these?
Or because (in American calendars), today is 4/1, and the IP address for their DNS server is 1.1.1.1, or four ones.
"big in the CDN market" is very different to "has enough pull to significantly centralize the internet like Google or Amazon".
Even if this is all true, breaking the site guidelines yourself is exactly the wrong reaction. That only makes this place worse still. What's more, your comment seems to imply that you created a new account because you wanted to do this ("I based my character on that behaviour"). If that's not correct, I apologize for suggesting it; but if it is true, that's not ok and will get both your current account and your original account banned.

Instead, you should flag comments that break the guidelines and/or let us know about them at hn@ycombinator.com, while following them scrupulously yourself.

We split into multiple apps within one project/site for separation of concerns instead of reusability. We have ~370 apps and nest them quite heavily, probably ~30 at the top level. This works well for us and we've managed to scale nicely to 15 people working on the codebase quite nicely.
You don’t have to rise that high to delegate. If you’re working on your own, you can hire good contractors who charge $10-$15 an hour. Barring that, systems work can also be a form of delegation: building a system to automate low value tasks is a way of not doing them.

Alao no one ever completes all the tasks they have. So deciding which are the most necessary to do is crucial.

The people who delegate and eliminate well at these low stages are more likely to progress to more delegation. Yes, some people still have no ability to do any of that, but I doubt it applies to most people on this forum.

Dark matter is a supersolid that fills 'empty' space, strongly interacts with ordinary matter and is displaced by ordinary matter. What is referred to geometrically as curved spacetime physically exists in nature as the state of displacement of the supersolid dark matter. The state of displacement of the supersolid dark matter is gravity.

The supersolid dark matter displaced by a galaxy pushes back, causing the stars in the outer arms of the galaxy to orbit the galactic center at the rate in which they do.

Displaced supersolid dark matter is curved spacetime.

In the Bullet Cluster collision the dark matter has not separated from the ordinary matter. The collision is analogous to two boats that collide, the boats slow down and their bow waves continue to propagate. The water has not separated from the boats, the bow waves have. In the Bullet Cluster collision the galaxy's associated dark matter displacement waves have separated from the colliding galaxies, causing the light to lense as it passes through the waves.

I would not advocate for removal of algebra from middle school.
But I would consider advocating removal of add/subtract/multiply/divide facts from grades 1-5, and replace the time with learning of how to reason.

I feel like learning you math facts, rules for multiplication, etc challenge children early on, but could be taught to a naive middle school child within a couple of weeks or less. Thus teaching this to young children seems like waited effort with little transfer benefit. On the other hand, getting children interested in learning, learning how to organize thoughts into an argument, etc...there is clear benefit for that, I wonder.
Can you describe your wrist and pinky issues?

I have found the most ergonomic setup for myself is actually a little counter-intuitive. Wrist rests actually make carpal tunnel syndrome worse for me, because despite being soft, a wrist rest ultimately leads me to focus the weight of my arms on the wrist rest (i.e., resting) , which only leads to compression of my carpal tunnel. What works better is a chair with high arm rests and a desk that's low enough to where my arms can float above the keyboard. The meaty part of my forarms is enough of cushion for my arms & nerves to avoid both carpal tunnel & numb pinky syndrome. The keyboard sits at the edge of the desk, no wrist rest required. Try it!

Actually any high performance GC'd languages would be fine too because latency is a non-issue for long running git operations (you won't notice if your git clone pauses for 100ms, whereas you will notice if your UI does). Throughput of malloc() and GCd languages tends to be similar when latency isn't a concern.
Fair enough. There's definitely a lot of folks who do get upset over this stuff, maybe as pushback to the new language hype.
Tezos (Nomadic Labs) | Technical Writer, Release Engineer | Paris, FR | ONSITE

Tezos is a top-20 cryptocurrency project with a focus on on-chain governance and security. We're a decentralized ecosystem with multiple entities working together toward a common goal.

Among other hiring needs (in NYC, Paris, Europe-generally, etc.), we're particularly interested two roles for Paris 1) a great technical writer/documentation and training developer to help build some really good developer, integrator, and end user documentation; 2) a release engineer to manage building/packaging/testing of our core software (in OCaml). We're also constantly hiring (mainly PhD) OCaml developers and other technical roles, but we've got a more solid pipeline of those people -- tech writer, training development, and release engineering less so so far.

Compensation/etc. is "market". Perk: you get to work with a ~35 person team with ~22 CS PhDs, great ties to French academic institutions, etc., and a beautiful office in Paris (with private offices, with doors). Open source software, lots of opportunity to learn/grow your career and network.

Speaking French is helpful (socially, since you're in Paris), but you can get by professionally in English-only if you'd like (but you probably want to learn French, at least for the great restaurants).

We'd like this to be ONSITE in Paris, but there is travel to NYC/Zurich/etc. as you wish. Happy to help with relo, visa, etc. as needed (EU person is probably easier, but for the right people we'd hire globally for someone who wants to be in Paris).

For more information please contact me at ryan.lackey@tezos.com and I'll put you in touch with the hiring manager, or answer preliminary questions.

The SLAM approach will work well with a validated point cloud and a new set of points for fixed objects. However if you are mapping movable or alterable objects such as vegetation I am unsure if the algorithm will still yield highly accurate results.

Another thing to consider is that if you are basing future measurements on past measurements, you need to be accurate to less than 1cm in the absolute X,Y,Z position of those points, and account for drift across your collection area. Small errors will add up to large differences in the survey set.
