commercetools | Software Engineer - Scala | On-Site | Full-Time | Berlin, Germany | https://commercetools.com/careers

We combine solving hard tech challenges you’d expect in a Silicon Valley startup with German work/life balance.

Our Backend-as-a-Service powers commerce in a wide range of industries, including automotive, robotics, gaming, on-demand printing, fashion and toys. We don’t run mom-and-pop stores - we excel for enterprise customers that need a commerce platform that is both customizable and yet highly scalable and reliable.

Some of the challenges you can help us with:

* Scaling a multi-tenant BaaS with heterogeneous traffic patterns. We continuously improve the performance of our code (written in Scala) as well as our persistence layer (MongoDB and ElasticSearch).

* Rework our data models where they aren’t suitable for our biggest enterprise customers. E.g. we need to support retailers with inventory across hundreds of stores.

* Multi-cloud, multi-region deployment: We offer our customers a choice between different cloud providers (including AWS and GCP) and regions.

* Adopt new technologies in our developer-facing products. E.g. we invest in GraphQL and CloudEvents, and participate in specification processes as well as Open Source projects.

We’re 150 people from 35 countries. We offer flexible work hours, home office and are parent friendly. I myself leave the office at 3:30pm three times a week to spend the afternoon with my son, and then spent another 2 hours working at home in the evening.

For the Scala job in our team see: https://commercetools-jobs.personio.de/job/41580?language=en.... Feel free to message me if you have any questions at christoph DOT neijenhuis AT companyname DOT com (No recruiters, no agencies please.)
I don't know that I personally believe sport competition is more important for humanity than NASA. To me sciences and space exploration could easily be 10 times as important as sport. I think the point is that there could be any number of better uses for our collective time and money than sport. Imagine what we could do as a species if we were actually committed to solving something at all costs whether that is curing cancer or stopping man made climate change.

You shouldn't need to jump, just be moving backwards yourself as you push the bar off forwards.

I don't think front squats are inherently more or less safe than back squats; both are safe if performed with good form.

I understand the worry about heavy weights. If possible, you should try to find a gym that will let you drop weights (one mark of a good gym). Then you can practice to your heart's content.
I've always been skeptical of skipping LIDAR, but a recent study at Cornell found that with binocular vision they could be almost as accurate as LIDAR, but with much cheaper hardware.

> Watch the autonomy day video on how the chip was built and why, will help a lot

I watched it, and I'm calling them out on it. They focused their entire presentation on NVidia and completely ignored Google/Waymo and Intel/MobilEye Q5 comparisons.

Autonomy day was an obvious hype-fest that ignored the competition. Tesla was only looking at NVidia Xavier or Pegasus, but ignores the real giants in the field.

The arguments in that presentation were exceptionally poor. There's no way a 500W chip could be a problem in a car with 300,000W motors attached and 1000W air conditioners / heaters. It was obvious to me when they were skewing their examples to be absurd corner cases to make a point: 12mph stop-and-go traffic for many hours?

Yeah, as if the 300,000W motor would like 12mph stop-and-go traffic anyway. Its not like regenerative brakes are much better than 50% recycling of the energy btw, the stop-and-go condition is going to wreak your mileage regardless.

A 500W chip can be powered by a 75kW-hr battery for 150 hours. That's nearly a whole week of life. The thought that a Model 3 or Model S car would be scrounging for efficiency in the ~100W magnitude is completely laughable.

OK, ask them for their research going back to 1970 because strangely enough, they leave out everything before 1981 to give the impression that Arctic ice is on a downward trend.
I've heard that the real resource is the heavy hydrogen contained in the first millimeters of the crust as a result of the bombardment of solar winds. If we could use it for fusion power, the heavy hydrogen contained on the moon would power the world nearly forever.

Step 1) Only able drivers are allowed to rent, with hands on wheel and like you mentioned ZipCar style pickup

Step 2) Car will Come to you driverless, but you still need to drive. This car will drive very slow during summon. Since no one is inside the car, the risk to human lives are reduced (but still exists for other people)

Step 3) Driverless, but limited to certain blocks, weather conditions

Step 4) A more expanded version.

But all of these appear years away.

> Agile is, like lean manufacturing (one of its inspirations), based around one really simple concept: the workers know the most about what they are doing and should be leading the charge on what they are doing.

The difference between the Agile literature and the Lean literature (including Lean Software Development, which has its own body of literature separate from Agile) is that almost nothing labeled “Agile” actually addresses that central value (except the Manifesto, which does so at a conceptual but not actionable level). It all just skips to concrete decontextualized practices of exactly the sort that the Manifesto’s “people and interactions over processes and tools” is a reaction against, while the Lean body of work actually addresses (without narrow prescriptivism) higher level meta-processes and practices which empower workers to drive the process of evaluatibg and adapt the low-level work processes to acheive business value.

Agile is basically the values of Lean accidentally recast in less-concrete way which empowers the kind of management consultant snake-oil solution vendors that it was a reaction against. While there are some decent ideas about low-level practices that are worth considering once you have the appropriate Lean organizational culture in place under the Agile banner, the body of work under that banner is mostly a distraction from the goals it notionally serves; better to ignore it all and focus on Lean than to make it front and center.

Similar musings under the "Dark Scrum" heading by Ron Jeffries:

> Every day, the team is supposed to get together and organize the day’s work. [... The ScrumMaster ...] knows his job. His job is to stay on top of what everyone is doing, make sure they’re doing the right things, and redirect them if they’re not. How convenient that there’s a mandatory meeting where he can do that, every single day!

> In practice the Dark Sprint Review begins by someone reminding everyone what the team “promised” to do. (That is, what was demanded right before the team said “We’ll try”. That’s a promise, isn’t it?) Then we look at the pitiful failure the team brings us.

Here you go: https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Hooks-for...

It's not even a page of copy/paste code to make a hook do whatever you want. Writing a .so for LD_PRELOAD is similarly a handful of lines.

Or you can use the plethora of open source debugging LD_PRELOAD libraries like efence.

And in a larger sense, you should try learning more and getting better at programming instead of being so dismissive.
> I feel a lot healthier

This was the clincher for me. I listened to the audiobook "How Not to Die" by Dr. Greger and was convinced of the common sense that eating plant based whole foods is the way to be healthier. The lowered cost and lowered impact on the environment are just icing on the cake. If eating meat was better for me, I'd still do it. The science done so far seems to suggest that a whole food plant based diet is the healthiest diet.
A pure CS curriculum probably won't, but one aimed at Software Engineering or whatever name you'd pick for CS + industry-applied stuff might very well have a class that includes Agile and other development techniques. (Our legal classes also touched on it)

> risk is significantly higher but reward is going to be lower.

Is that not true for all companies as they grow?
Also, does DKIM really provide the same sort of authentication that PGP / s/MIME would? All DKIMs verify is that the message was in fact authorized to emanate from that domain - PGP & S/MIME attempt to confirm that a particular identity belongs to a particular address.

Family paid admission scandal’s mastermind $6.5M for a spot at Stanford
Maybe the reason they didn't is that doing so is expensive, should have already been done by the supplier, this was for an unmanned mission (which have significantly looser safety requirements), which was insured (I assume), and costs to some extent recoverable by lawsuits.

According to the DoJ article: "the replacement cost of frangible joints provided to the MDA that included SPI extrusions is approximately $15.3 million, and NASA incurred approximately $9 million in investigative and other costs to determine the impact of SPI extrusions on NASA operations."

For economic reasons, some compromise needs to be reached between assurance and insurance.
Dropping Linux support is a perfectly sensible thing to suggest. When it comes to computer gaming, all of the tooling, ecosystem, and cash is on Windows.

It's simple fraud in many cases.

Patient has a 20% copay. The provider bills $100,000. The provider "pays" $80,000. The patient pays $20,000.

Provider then pays a $70k kickback disguised as a discount on other charges, fees for participation in the system, etc. (or never even pays the EOB amount). In fact a total of $30k is paid for the services, and 66% of that comes from the patient.

Insurance gets away paying $10k instead of $24k (80% of $30k). Provider gets the business by being on insurer's provider list. Patient thinks "I'm glad I paid $20k for Insurance. My health-care-spend ended up being $40k instead of $100k." In fact, they'd have been better off without insurance, which would have only cost $30k.
I participate in a number of sports. None of those require society to lay out tens of billions of dollars every few years.

Your points would hold more water if NASA's entire mission was "moving humanity to a different planet", but it isn't. Much of what NASA does is focused on protecting the planet we live on right now.
Isn't this analysis pretty much ancap-complete? All sorts of things communities have agreed to forbid impinge in some way on individual rights.

> Or tasks that used to take 2 or 3 days now gets split across 2 or 3 sprints, because guy 1 can't allocate it to guy 2 until he finishes it. And it just sits around until the next sprint.

This so much. Because no PMs want to adhere to "sprint forecast," but insist on "sprint commitments," you literally cannot commit to doing a unit of work that depends on someone else getting theirs done first until they are done. A smooth flow that gets to market quicker now _must_ be lock step gated by sprint start dates. /me sighs
Well, you claimed he has not delivered for investors because he has not executed well on his plans. Tesla's plans have been on their website since 2006: https://www.tesla.com/en_CA/blog/secret-tesla-motors-master-...

Tesla has executed very well on those plans and delivered very handsomely for investors.

Now you're saying, today they are different. Are they? Or is it just simple 20/20 hindsight? Did you happen to invest at $17 and sell at $350?

There was even more skepticism of them before their IPO (ie, the famous "Tesla Death Watch" series from 2008) and I think they were in a far, far more precarious position back then.
That study has been highly disputed by people in the field; the methodology is questionable at best for the claims they're making.

The researchers found that analyzing the captured images from a bird’s-eye view, rather than the more traditional frontal view, more than tripled their accuracy, making stereo camera a viable and low-cost alternative to LiDAR.

I look forward to the day when cars have giraffe-necks protruding from their roofs, mounted with stereo cameras...

But until then, the researchers actually just confirmed that front-mount cameras are only about a third as accurate as LIDAR.
<Confidential - Energy Sector> | Software / ML Engineer | REMOTE | Full-Time

We are a small, profitable, bootstrapped company that applies machine learning (ML) to fluid dynamics (FD) systems.

We are looking for an engineer to work closely with the founder and form the core of our team.

Role

* The FD models are developed by a specialized ML team; they’re evaluated in a simulated environment, where a second ML layer decides agent action based on FD model output.

* Everything except development of the FD models is under the purview of this role. (You’re absolutely welcome to dive into that; it’s just not a requirement.)

* Minimal bureaucracy: we're a tiny team with existing customers. We don't have outside investors to persuade. There's very little friction in going from idea to production.

Responsibilities

* Build data pipelines to request, transform and store data. (This is a small component of the role.)

* Build (statistical / machine-learned) agent actions based on FD model outputs.

* Develop an event-driven simulation environment to evaluate FD and agent models.

* Work closely with FD team to iterate on FD model based on simulation performance.

* Deploy pipelines and trained FD and agent models into production. Capture events and model inference.

Skills

* Extensive experience (ideally using Python) to build high-availability, complex systems.

* Intimate familiarity with the Python scientific data stack.

* Experience with "classical" machine learning, such as tree-based models and Bayesian methods.

* Nice-to-have: math or physics background.

We prefer remote candidates in the US or Canada, but would consider those in the UK and the EU. Write us at confidential.energy@gmail.com.
