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 (parsers, 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!

I'm open to both full-time or contract work. I've been working remotely for 5 years.
My main skills are all about Linux administration (bare metal or cloud), optimizing databases and backend development (API, scripts, services).
My two hobbies: asking lots of questions and predicting possible problems/bottlenecks in an infrastructure.

I'm definitely not a frontend guy (I like to work with them though!).

Note: This is my first comment on HN!
I was frustrated in this way during my math education, but lately my opinion about memorization has softened a bit.

The trick is that it has to be approached in the same way as in sports: Demonstrate a technique, explain the principles, attempt in live play, then return to drill muscle memory(now that the student has discovered how bad they are at it). Music is very similar - you can play a song badly, then drill scales and arpeggios a while, come back and suddenly you play the song better.

The point of memorizing is, in the end, to make the knowledge closer and more available to you. But there are several ways in which this cycle drops the ball during education and succumbs to rote learning as the sole factor:

* The teacher themselves doesn't understand the principle, and thus is poor both at explaining concepts and grading results. "You get a zero," they will shrug, when the student has misunderstood something and turns in a problem set with wrong answers.

* The principle isn't connected to "live play", making the technique unrelated to existing knowledge. It's the way in which education systemically fails most frequently, and it starts with having classes specialized per subject and limiting the crossover between them. All too often, all that happens is that you do some problem sets, get tested a little later, and that's it - and so all your focus as a student is on passing, not on learning.

* The drill focuses overly much on tricks and "gotchas" and not on developing confidence and long-term retention, making the student uncertain about how to generalize the technique to the tricks. In comparison, when I took judo, we drilled all techniques on one side only, for the entire semester. Is it useful to be able to mirror the techniques? Yes, but that doesn't mean that any study time needs to be allocated to it.
If you want to point out that something is irrational for a better discussion framework, you better prove it first. Otherwise it's just noise. Saying someone is silly and overly sensitive without giving him further information is like saying you are wrong without proof, with the insult on top.
Fast food doesn't necessarily have to be bad nutrition. I can cook a couple of eggs in a couple of minutes.

Come to think of it a lot of the motivation for start ups seems to be distributive - not working for the man, etc. The problem is that borrowing puts on pressure to be aquired or to aquire until you become the man. Maybe Joel Spolsky and DHH have the right idea. To remain a startup and keep that buzz you have to forego the Megabucks.
Ask HN: What's Your DIY Home Security System
I did a HN search and of the 2 pages most are several years old [1]. What's your recommended DIY security system? I was thinking deadbolts but then those cheap battery operated door window alarms, one camera (wired or wireless) above front door, two cameras in back, and motion detector lights (battery or solar). I don't trust Smart Home setups that can be used to disable or open doors. I want to be able to monitor and have loud alarms. I was even thinking no keypad in the house to control everything. Maybe a wired siren in the attic thats really loud so if the alarm is tripped the neighborhood hears it (maybe after 10 second delay) so any possible intruder would know EVERYONE is noticing my house. What would/do you do?

[1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5174685
That's cool, I mean definitely do what is best for you. I think there is a lot of room for self-discovery of our own optimal diets. The salt debate is one of those things where nutrition science can't seem to settle on it, depending on the survey.
>I agree that it's under-discussed.

I think the reason its under-discussed is that there is a collective group-think which functions as overwhelming (to the individual) reinforcement: "there is no other way available to solve this problem than the mass sale and consumption of pharmaceuticals".

The moment someone proposes a non-pharmaceutical (read: profitable) solution to many of these ills, they are shut down by the group-think. This is under-discussed, imho, because in the context of social/peer pressure to conform to a very Western normative (consumerism), individual responsibility is shut down.

EDIT: and the downvotes demonstrate my point, because "everyone knows pharmaceuticals are the only solution" ...

Full stack developer with ~2.5 years of experience in Javascript (React) and Java (Play).

I have been working at one of the India's biggest telecom companies. I've contributed to a couponing platform, some of the things I did on the project —

* Developed a mobile exclusive React based end user application used for publishing coupons.

* Helped in redesigning the platform to incorportate multi-tenancy and targeted promotion delivery.

* Integrated with a third party system which includes publishing their coupons and having a closed loop redemptionsystem for tracking the redemptions of the coupons.

* Wrote Python/bash scripts for deployments, generating data for performance testing.
It’s not as though some food is automatically bad for you because it came from Burger King, and even if it were, there is a huge range of how bad it is. I could get 500 calories from a burger or 2000 from a burger with a milkshake and fries. It’s not a good idea to make a fast-food restaurant a zone of nutrition nihilism where we just accept that we doom our health by entering and ignore the choice of what to order.

At least they are forced to display nutrition info, so I know what I’m getting, unlike most sit-down restaurants that serve even larger portions with no numbers included.
Feel free to substantiate your claims. Even after your edit it's just a bunch of big claims with no supporting evidence for the things which aren't simply wrong (e.g. “no nesting, all routes have to be declared in one place” sounds like you haven't ever used a Django app, including the built-in ones. Perhaps there's something else you have in mind but since you didn't explain, who else can tell?).

Lobbing insults won't hide the fact that you aren't even trying to make a technical argument or otherwise contribute in any way to the discussion:

> Eschew flamebait. Don't introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents.

> Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

I had the White Castle version, and my estimation is how it's cooked will be the biggest determining factor in its taste. Sadly, all the big fast food joints can't cook a burger worth a crap, so this plant burger probably won't sell much under their brands.
These are simply highly-processed patties.

Webpack works well without any configuration.

The nice part is you can do advanced stuff with it if you so choose.
I don't think what we're offering instantly takes over the entire VPN market. VPNs mean different things to different people and I'd imagine you can find a valuable market that provides things that we don't.
Damn. Cloudflare's super nice customer-centric stance on this product is killing me. I quit my FAANG job just this past month to build something similar.

It does just work. Until you want to use something that the core devs don't use.

Like having the most popular front end framework be unusable for at least 6 months: https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/645

Often you'll need to hope some third party made a plugin or make one yourself, which isn't really any different than using webpack, but the webpack ecosystem is much larger.

I struggled through parcel for a long time before I switched to Webpack 4 and had all of my existing build system and some additional niceties working in <45 minutes (probably 30 min of that was just reading the docs).
I further correct my post: what or who will be behind cf?
It's naive at it's best.

As a Django enthusiast and python programmer, I often want less magic from Django, not more. This makes pyramid or flask seem tempting to me. If I wanted Rails that badly, I would simply port my code to Ruby.
Right. But there's a difference between drinking a glass of water and glass of bleach. You are claiming they are equivalent.

There's something called "context" in reading comprehension, it is when words take on the meaning relevant to the discussion. In this case, "chemicals" is shorthand for "bad chemicals." I don't understand why so many people fail to understand this and have to make this inane, childish observation that in fact, everything is a chemical. We know already.
Please still build this product!
My work still cant reach 1.1.1.1, but can reach 1.0.0.1, seems 1.1.1.1 was used by our ISP TWTelecom for a stub network. We opened a ticket with TW, and they just keep kicking the ticket as wont fix. But 1.0.0.1 seems to work fine.
> it's complete

That might be a better way to phrase it, you're right. I've got nothing at all against it, and appreciate using it for certain applications. I meant less dying in the sense that it will go away entirely and more that it is slowly becoming relegated to critical applications (i.e. very few applications are written in it).
Sometimes, you need something fast, cheap, and easy, so it's nice to have some fast food items in mind that have reasonable calories and macros. A great example is when I'm driving long distance, I'll swing by CFA if possible.
The problem is hinted at here: "equity meant providing all students equal access"

What they are saying is that they refused to keep unqualified students out of the advanced classes. Keeping those students out would have exposed the schools to all sorts of accusations of discrimination, so they didn't do it. Parents insist that low-performing students be in the advanced classes, and the school doesn't say "no", so the class becomes a mess of failure.

I'm very passionate and super motivated Frontend Developer who can become a net-positive asset on your team fairly quickly if I'm given a chance to! I've been published by freeCodeCamp: https://medium.freecodecamp.org/how-to-understand-django-mod.... I've been learning to code for about a year. I blogged about some things (http://arevej.me/) and made quite a few projects (http://arevej.me/portfolio/ + http://github.com/arevej)
If they're going for the no-logs gimmick I'll probably just preemptively block their ASNs and save myself a lot of trouble.

Did the same with Nord and a dozen other vpn-of-the-week services. no-logs means no-accountability which means malicious traffic which means you don't get to talk to our stuff.
I'm curious which host you'd recommend. I want a good host for making websites. Not sure if I need to be a reseller or just use their shared hosting. I'm hoping to create lots of static websites for different small businesses, and then cheaply host them. Considering Namecheap, DreamHost, and BlueHost, but I'm also hoping there's one that allows nudity (not porn, just artistic nudity). Or if there's a host that allows any content, that's a plus.

I've been trying to find non-Amazon or non-Google hosting options, wanting to spend my money elsewhere. Is this a waste of time or effort? I imagine that cloud hosting with Google would be less restrictive, though more complicated to setup.

Thanks for any ideas

While I get the thinking behind content://-URI and accept that their beneficial for some use cases, as currently implemented they still break a lot of things, too:

> * Apps are only allowed to access only files that the user explicitly allows them access to. (No more Epic games launcher slurping up your Steam library information)

This assumes that all content you possibly want to open in a different app always consists of a single atomic file.

Unfortunately that's not always the case, though. If you open a HTML file from your storage, you'll likely want your browser to be able to access the accompanying images, style sheets, other locally linked files, etc., too, but under Google's file access model that's not possible. Or say you open a video file where you've also thrown some subtitles into the same directory - unfortunately your video player will only be able to open the video itself and never even learns about the subtitles.

For a small demonstration, just copy some archived web pages to your storage and then try using the built-in file explorer (which uses the officially sanctioned way of content://-URIs for launching apps) to view one of those HTML files in either Android's mini HTML viewer app or else Chrome and marvel at the missing images, broken styles, non-working links...

> * Apps can present file-like objects to the file picker and have them work transparently. (No more one-off filesystems to just forward an API call)

> * Apps don't have to know anything about permissions. You just get a blob of data.

Unfortunately it also completely hides the underlying file system, so even if the file in question is one that a) is actually sitting on the local storage and b) is stored somewhere where the receiving app would have access permissions itself anyway (because you've explicitly allowed that app to access that part of the storage), you still have no official way to get a reference to the original file.
This is a problem because if the receiving app could open the file (and accordingly also its companion files) using its own permissions, it could in fact avoid the issues resulting from the first point. As it is, you're somewhat stuck, though.

>You're being awfully high and mighty jumping around this thread to criticize what is, on the scale of typical human consumption, really quite minor.

It may be minor, but if OP is complaining about things as simple as "I don't know when I go to the store, so I MUST use plastic bags", then imagine what else they are unwilling to budge on. Not to mention, broken windows theory is real, remove plastic waste from the streets like plastic bags and people will modify their behavior.

>Apparently it's socially acceptable to look down on someone for using plastic bags

I am not looking down on someone for using plastic bags, I am looking down on them for making really bad excuses for continuing to use plastic bags. It's literally a lack of effort.
