Picnic | Software Engineer [React Native / Node.js] | London, UK | ONSITE or REMOTE | Full time or contract

Picnic is a supercharged group chat app, built for friends. (https://picnic.chat)

Today's messaging apps are doing the bare minimum for friendship. At Picnic, we believe there is huge untapped potential. We are building a 10X better way to spend 'in-between time' with friends, based on the science of friendship.

We are a small team with excellent experience in consumer social based out of London, UK (currently working remotely due to COVID-19). With backing from leading social health experts (including the originator of Dunbar's number) and a host of world class advisors and investors (1st Engineer at Snapchat, TikTok Head of Comms, Chief Brand Officer at Bumble), we are on a mission to make the world better friends.

We are looking for full-stack developers who love creating products that people want to use. You understand that apps—and code—are for people, not for computers, and always strive to make our app and codebase more understandable and easy to use. You'll be helping to build an app using the latest best practices targeting the iOS, Android, and the web. We're using TypeScript across the stack, React with MobX client-side, an event-sourced architecture using PostgreSQL and Redis server-side, and GraphQL for type-safe communication between the two. We've written a detailed summary of our stack and workflow in the document linked below, so that you can get a quick overview of whether working with us could excite you.

We've taken care to make our hiring process as transparent and stress-free as possible. We won't do any whiteboard / algorithm tests, and you'll be paid for any take-home test we ask you to complete. We aim to give honest feedback after any interview, so that the process is not a waste of time for you even if the role is not a fit for you for whatever reason.

We are looking to hire this person to start July 6th 2020. To apply, simply take a look at the process outlined here: https://www.notion.so/teampicnic/Software-Engineer-React-Nat...
The danger now without enough memory is that you're using the SSD for swap. I've seen web browsers eat 16GB of memory by themselves. If you only have 8GB, it might not be that slow anymore, but then you're going to wear out your SSD.
Why anyone works with or supports Microsoft beyond corporate IT at this point is completely beyond me.
I'd be fine serving on a jury were it not for the fact that I wouldn't get paid my regular salary. It's no coincidence that the ranks usually get filled up with the unemployed and retired.
If your point is that all they need to do is make the appropriate attribution, then we're in agreement.
Substack (W18) | Full stack engineer | San Francisco | Onsite | https://substack.com

Substack lets writers start their own subscription publication - think paid blog/newsletter - where writers' and readers' incentives are aligned.

Over 100k people pay to subscribe to publications, and top writers are making six figures.

We use Node, Express, and Postgres on top of Heroku. React for frontend. Simple & effective so we can focus on solving problems for users.

We are 12 people. We raised a series A from a16z last summer and are thoughtfully building our early team. Two of our three founders are technical (the other is a writer) and we're looking for folks to work along side us, shipping things that touch thousands of writers and millions of readers.

Come join us! https://jobs.lever.co/substackinc
I thought 0F was the temperature the Baltic Sea froze at. Which is why Dr. Fahrenheit chose that as his zero.
I have a family member that worked for Hertz during the time of this move.

After a lot of consideration and soul searching, they decided not to move down because both his family and his wife’s family were in the North East U.S. and they had small kids who wouldn’t have adjusted well to a cross-country move.

So somewhat reluctantly, he resigned his job with Hertz and stayed back while the rest of the team moved down. It was difficult for him because he had worked there for a number of years to reach the level that he was at and essentially reset when he switched jobs.

Anyway, a short time after that, he found out that everyone he worked with and had made the move to Florida had been laid off by Hertz.

He dodged a bullet on that one. I always suspected the move was a strategic-but-unethical one by Hertz to terminate a whole bunch of people without drawing too much attention to themselves. (Older employees with families typically don’t make moves like that, and you can easily get rid of the rest after.)
Big angry crowd, hiding in a bunker while tweeting inflammatory messages at them.

That's a bold move, Cotton. Let's see how it plays out
That makes sense. Thanks! I do still think this new wave is very exciting and I think it will dramatically improve a lot of cases where people have been (IMO) inappropriately using React thus far. Particularly when it comes to the mess that is hybrid server/client reactive rendering.

Hey @econcon, I think my friend and I will give this a try. We're starting to spec everything out, and probably want to start out with laser gauge to have high accuracy. Would love to ask a couple questions if you have time, my email is just my username at gmail.com
Another way is to boycott news with advertising so that they're forced to find a model that doesn't rely on it. Why is advertising the only choice here? Why do you assume they'll drop that revenue stream when they "get enough subscribers"?
It's odd, I usually see that consequence ("rules lawyering") given as a reason why they avoid being specific about the rules to begin with. It is often followed up with almost everything moderators called on saying that the comment was "on the bubble" or that the commentator failed to "read the room" or some other such nebulousness.

If it's genuinely not obvious, I'm surprised you believe a conspiracy that Trump was secretly refering to an event most people have never heard of, rather than rhyming.
My Big Data solution using AWS services
Thanks, I never realized that the second one was parsed as a code block rather than an object!
Is there anyone in PR or Marketing here that can explain the business sense for something like this? Serious question: Aside from "the right thing to do" how does a decision like this effect the business in the short, and long term?
> Agencies come to the court with what they think is a rock solid case

I think the rubber stamp reputation of the FISA courts undermines this assumption. Are 99.7% of cases ~really~ ironclad? Building a rock solid case takes a lot of work and if the FISA courts aren't actually going to scrutinize the evidence, I expect that the people bringing these cases will take advantage of that.
IMO, so long as they offer pre-payment for books, they will remain in existence. Prolific and profitable authors benefit from being paid ahead of time for their work, which can often take months or years.

> This may come as news to some, but most fields bear no resemblance to writing JavaScript for a living.

High school dropout here, no uni degree, I can write more than just JS thanks. I know C#, Java, Perl, Python, PHP, ruby, Typescript, Go. I know DDD, SOLID, TDD, and AOP. I have forgot more about Linux than most people will learn in a lifetime and I did all of it without attending one uni course. I come from a poverty background, grew up in a trailer park, got fucked up on all sorts of drugs and didn't do well in school. Some time in my early 20's I had a revelation that I was nobody and I was going to die poor and alone if I didn't get my act together. Sadly with my piss poor grades there was no way I was going to get a scholarship to pay my way through college, my family just made enough that I couldn't get finaid easily either. So I decided to wing it. I looked in the newspaper for high paying jobs, decided I wanted to be Systems Administrator, and looked up the skills required to be one. Did I get a sysadmin job? Hell no, I worked my way up from Help Desk to PC Tech, to Network Tech, to Systems Tech, to Systems Admin, to DevOps, and then to Sr. Software Developer, I'm now a Principal Engineer.

Here's the deal, I know bright people who made it through college and I know stupid people who made it through college, but I also know bright people who have worked their way up from the bottom, like myself. I've been working my way up since 2003. My personal opinion is that Uni is not only not for everyone, but that perhaps some industries, including software engineering, may work better on the guild system than in a class room.
My problem with usefathom is that their analytics hasn't been prooved in court or by a European GDPR data watchdog to be in the clear of not storing personal information. If you only want to ditch GA because you don't trust Google, then I'd also use usefathom.

I think what they do is very clever, but we settled with SimpleAnalytics instead (not as sophisticated and less analytics, but determine unique visitors by referral is cleaner and enough for us).
It would be a representative sample of the public rather than an elite-weighted sample that was the outcome of a sleazy money and demagoguery driven election process.
The answer to "will using other analytics penalize you?" is "probably". Now let's rephrase the original question, "Will using other analytics penalize you more than using ones from Google?".

Can't read due to paywall but I wonder how much of this is due to most Airbnbs presumably going empty.
The correct abbreviation for the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems is NeurIPS.
I'd have no problems providing source code if I thought the people I was dealing with would behave in a moral manner with it, to use your term.
Oh! Penrose! I'm watching this. Thanks!
Private equity is on shaky ground and that’s a warning for stock investors
Ask HN: Hacker tips to maintain a good romantic relationship?
I believe folks here on HN are mostly problem solvers and are data-driven and fact-driven and of course have their own drawer of heuristics accumulated from problem solving. I wonder what tips the folks on here might give based on their experience on handling and maintaining their love life based on above mentioned qualities
BO was founded before SpaceX, has spent far more than SpaceX and has accomplished squat.

The BE-4 has been “sold” to customers but started development before Raptor, and is far behind it in technology and accomplishments. We won’t see a BE-4 flight before next year, if even that soon.
Yes, it doesn't actually track individual visitors as we can't use cookies or any fingerprinting methods.
This domain name issue also comes up with PubMed, which uses the nih.gov domain, making people think it's actually endorsed by NIH.

I think it's not just a problem on this website; social news link previews also show the domain and favicon which might mislead people as to how high-profile the paper is.

of course, being in a high-impact journal doesn't guarantee good science at all. but it still does lend some credibility.
I think in this era we will see how or if our rights will be protected with all of these large corporations with immense powers.

In the Civil Rights era, it took from the 1930s until 1964 to pass the Civil Right act, despite bipartisan support. They ended up having to re-invent how the Senate votes to do it.

It will be interesting to see the law that gets created during this time.

Also, I don't think it is possible to divorce the other aspect of what the government is attempting to do here. Guests in our country are exactly that. We depend on the government to vet them in some way to prevent criminals or terrorists from easily crossing the border and causing mayhem. The government has vetted people for several decades in this manner by investigating who the candidate associates with, whether they have a criminal record, etc.

If a criminal comes to our country and commits crimes, and it is possible to know this from the social media that the criminal uses, what responsibility does the social media company have?
No problem, just wondering. Glad to be made aware that there are high quality classes on these subjects. Maybe they'll move the coursework to a more online-friendly format soon, will have to keep an eye out.
Excellent list in general though, thanks for the contribution.
Then reflagged.
It's 7k for the whole program. That alone makes it worth it.

Show HN: Keep track of arbitrary commodities via text
The most powerful in-between solution is to randomly select a ballot per electoral district instead of a constituent.

This gives the best of both worlds of electoral districts and popular voting: Everyone is locally represented but the national representation is neatly distributed over ideologies instead of having just two parties.

As the most import benefit, it completely removes the incentive for strategic voting.
The press can only talk about your accomplishments if you actually have some.
I feel like that role is just waiting to be taken over by a kickstarter like model though.
Student societies are a thing
Ditto. It obliterates privacy and datamines everything, while simultaneously serving as a platform for propaganda (marketing being slightly more benign economic propaganda).

In exchange for getting data-mined and marketed-to I get to see what the people I can't be bothered to email are doing.

There are other use cases, like businesses and groups announcing things over FB, but there are plenty of other platforms for this, many of whom are cheap or free.

Yet the demand must be way down, I'd guess demand could be down at least 25% just based on the economy and people buying less stuff, following through to phones and computers.
Possibly the article was considered too positive for some elements?
Normal libraries have to pay quite a bit of money to participate in the digital world - purchasing the right to lend out an ebook, and only being able to distribute the book some 30-50 times before having to re-purchase the rights.

The IA is not paying these fees, and so there's some copyright questions around the distribution rights of scans of legitimate purchases to be answered.

I think he may simply be referring to the fact that VirtualDOM/Shadow DOM was one or the “features” React was advertised with initially.
As an "early adopter", I bought the Surface Pro 3, Surface 3 LTE, Surface Pro 4, Surface Book, and Surface Book 2, and have tried all of them extensively.

The Surface line is Microsoft's best chance at their own hardware, and I kept buying Surface after Surface, hoping it would get better. Unfortunately, they have all had build quality issues, hardware problems, or just some kind of strangeness that pushed me over the edge to buy an iPad Pro, and when that happened, I was dumbstruck how Apple entered the market much later than Microsoft and yet Apple still nailed the handwriting feel much better. Windows 10 is a real operating system, which is great and makes the Surface feel like a real computer, but the pen quality differences are too great to ignore, and the notetaking PDF apps for iOS are in a different league (Goodnotes 5, Notability). OneNote is not as good.
Nice! Really pleasant interface.

However, everything returns MMOs and Strategy returns RPGs for some reason. Steam does this as well and I think if filtering is fixed it can really set the site apart.
I am not saying there aren't market based approaches for this to work, but one guy in Chattanooga did buy up ALL the hand sanitizer within a 4-6 hour drive of Chattanooga.
If libraries weren't an ancient concept that preceeded copyright law they'd be illegal today.
Looks useful, but it depends on PipelineDB, a PostgreSQL extension for streaming data. Unfortunately PipelineDB hasn't been updated since May 2019 [0] when they were acquired by Confluent [1]. The former PipelineDB team appears to be focused on Confluent's KSQL product [2]. There's an open source "ksqlDB" but it appears to depend on Kafka, so it's not a 1:1 replacement for PipelineDB[3].

Are we headed for a system wide collapse (in the US, but perhaps elsewhere?).

The current environment is one of crisis mounting on top of crisis, each with increasing urgency and each never getting solved.

Just to count them

- issues of executive power concentration (pre trump even..), now alongside corruption and ignoring rule of law

- US overextended and largely illegitimately engaged militarily across the world

- mass surveillance without consent

- covid & associated economic devastation

- racial justice

- unending sense of riots, damage etc..

A friend of mine lived in East Germany when the Wall came down. I recall there was one event after another that eventually culminated in the collapse of East Germany and communism.

Is the US experiencing something similar? Not just in terms of government effectiveness but even legitimacy?
