ActiveState | Full-time | REMOTE | https://grnh.se/772329f92us

ActiveState Platform - made by developers for developers! We are reinventing build engineering with an on-demand SaaS Platform and CLI tool that lets developers automate the building of any runtime environment using any open source language ecosystem on any platform. In Beta right now, we support Python and Perl and we're hiring to add more languages and packages! We’re building an ambitious language distribution platform so that no engineer ever has to suffer dependency hell again, and we need your help to build it.

All of the engineering positions listed have Build Engineer in the title, but these are for two different teams. The positions with "BE" in the code like "2-2020BE" are focused on fixing build problems (package X failed to build on platform Y). The positions with "LE" like "2-2020LE" are coding positions where you work on tools that do distributed builds.

I'm a Team Lead here at ActiveState, though none of the open positions are on my team right now. Please email me at autarch@urth.org if you have any questions.

Plastic, engineered properly, can be incredibly strong.

99% of plastic products are not engineered to any requirement beyond “this shape, that color”. So we’re not used to seeing proper engineeered plastic. But it’s a wonder material in skilled hands.
We can create decentralized identity systems, where you decide which information should be public, while also providing accountability.

Rather than let mega corps control identities, which should be building open source tools to allow developers to include decentralized identities within their platforms, preferably systems that interoperate with Ethereum.

I appreciate his direction and goals but whenever he speaks all I hear is sophisticated noise.

Now he's very educated .. but I still can't extract any substance out of what he says. I'm probably to blame but I feel there's a pattern of people inviting him to talk without understanding what he says (just like me) but having a position of intellectual authority and noble goals it keeps going.
Super.mx | Full-time | Mexico City, REMOTE (western hemisphere only) | Elixir Engineers, Product Managers, and LatAm specialist growth hacker

At Súper we're building radically simple insurance products for LatAm. We're a team of fintech & insurance veterans and have and excellent engineering team and culture. For this role we are looking for someone with deep experience with MVC (django, rails, etc) and experience with Elixir.

We are also hiring product managers and performance marketers/growth hackers.

Just email me at sebastian@super.mx.
I couldn't agree with you more. It probably is the best way to popularize what deep fakes can really do.

I also agree on video provenance/signing. Perhaps signed video will be something devices do by default in the future. If there are multiple devices recording, we can probably find a way to cross-check. Actually, that probably also exists. ;)

Fantasy speculation: An iMac without the chin, only 2-3x as thick as an iPad, with a touchscreen.

Can act exactly like a Mac when on a vertical stand, but can be placed flat on a table or drawing board and work in the iPad UI idiom as a giant multi-touch canvas.

In Mac mode, iPad apps run in windows as they do in the DTK. In iPad mode, Mac apps go into Fullscreen or side by side mode as they do when maximized on the desktop.

This is how I’d do it.

Senior full-stack dev (lean more towards devops->backend than backend->frontend, but I can still sling some React components together and reduce your JS payload size. Lately I've been loving Stimulus Reflex.)

I excel at figuring out how to solve problems at all levels of abstraction (including what level of abstraction you should use), getting a solution in place, and then figuring out the feedback loops to iterate on that solution. I'm the senior engineer that knows that most coding is coming to an understanding of what problem you are trying to solve. Sometimes the most impactful code is the code you don't write.

Trying to change the world, still parsing the source code. I've been programming on the web since 1995, had a first career as a social worker and policy statistician, and have worked full-time as a programmer for almost a decade now.

Especially enjoy API design, integrating with crappy systems, and really weird bugs

Will give you more looks if you can tell me why what you are doing makes the world better, not just makes you richer, but you've got to really believe it in your heart.

Mostly seeking contract work at this time, but happy to check out remote FTE or PTE as well!
I agree.
IF helped, though, by reducing the time window where I need to preocuppy myself with food/eating topics.
Basically outside of my eating interval I don't think/worry about food at all, I can focus on something else.
IF does require some getting used to, though.
1 point by dansilverberg 32 days ago | parent | edit | delete [–] | on: Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2020)

At Offchain Labs, we’re building a platform to unlock the full potential of smart contracts, making them private, affordable, and easy for developers. Our working prototype of Arbitrum runs on top of Ethereum and interoperates with native Ethereum contracts and tokens. We make smart contracts easier to develop at scale, with production level security. Our developer tools do the heavy lifting to add a flexible second layer to decentralized application architecture so our clients can focus on business logic and user experience.
We are ready to hire a few strong Senior Software Engineers that have an interest in working in the blockchain space. We are looking for engineers who have a knack for approaching problems in unconventional ways and possess production experience with Backend Engineering (C/C++, Go, or Rust).

Yes. I did not mention this in my original comment, but internal accounting and oversight by IACUCs is pretty good. They know within a couple of cages how many rodents are on campus at any given time (module reproduction etc.). If we want the public record to be able to account for this then it would likely have to be in another venue, because animals whose data does not go directly into a paper could be "involved" in the exploratory work for tens of papers. How do you prevent double counting, how do you know which animal whose data was not used was reported in which paper? Mostly you don't. The IACUC has it, it is buried in lab notebooks, etc. and if someone needs to be disciplined for misuse it is on the IACUC.

This is different from the UK where the 3Rs are much more strongly enforced, to the point where I remember asking a question back in 2015 to the then head of UK animal research about reproducibility, and getting the answer that he wouldn't approve the use of animals just to replicate an already completed study. In the US in some fields animals will be used just to replicate a result because another lab needs to know for sure that it is real before expending even more animals for a potentially useless follow up study. The way the numbers play out in practice, we would be much better off doubling if not 10xing the number of animals used in initial publications to avoid the 10x replication studies that will be done inside other labs to make sure that the result is real. Of course if we did this then the publication rate in many fields would be cut in half, or decreased by an order of magnitude.

Strateos(YC W15) | Front End and Backend Software Engineers, Engineering Manager, Product Managers | Menlo Park, CA | https://strateos.com | FULL TIME; ONSITE

Strateos is turning life science into an information technology by creating a fully automated cloud wet lab. Scientists anywhere can define and (reproducibly!) run experiments over the internet on-demand and without investing up-front in a lab facility.

The Strateos Common Lab Environment (SCLE) takes Autoprotocol (http://autoprotocol.org/), a high-level JSON description of a biological protocol, and executes it on our custom-built robotic workcells. The protocols we handle routinely involve solving constraint programming models with thousands of variables and constraints in order to find the best plan that fulfills the scientist's biological intent.

Scientists manage their experiments through our web application or via our API. We provide a single platform that controls scientific devices from many vendors in a unified way, and an interface to control our automated labs.

Tech stack includes: Linux, Scala, RabbitMQ, Rails, Typescript, React, Ansible, Postgres

Benefits include: full medical/dental/vision insurance; catered lunch and dinner, and a fully stocked kitchen; flexible vacation policy; 401(k) with matching; gym and commuter reimbursement; and education reimbursement up to $3,000/year.
> the only likely chance of definitively finding out in your territory is to have a criminal action against you and see if you win in court

The plaintiffs would have to prove that the videos that can be downloaded with youtube-dl are protected by an objectively effective technical measure and that the tool circumvents this protection, that the accused was aware of the effectiveness of the measure and the illegality of his actions.

I studied law at the University of Zurich (Switzerland) and would be calm in face of such a criminal prosecution. The plaintiff's risk of litigation would be considerable and the defendant would have little to fear.
No, this is simply false. Your efforts to convert a nearly 100% far-right, Trump-led problem into an obfuscated “both parties” 50/50 issue is completely untethered from reality and is so extremely far away from basic civil discourse that it’s unacceptable. By repeatedly trying to dogmatically assert it’s an issue of both parties, you are doing nothing but assisting horrific fascism from the far right. We are way past any point where someone can just casually claim this is debatable.
If not worse.

1. Physical evidence can at least by analyzed by a third party, and

2. Misleading deepfakes aren't created accidentally by honest people.

Cloudflare Domains is great for conventional TLDs.
Inventory receipt management very much sounds like something that Amazon should have as part of its interface (presuming it's not already). Sellers should be able to upload receipts/purchase orders to their accounts at any time.

It's just good sense to have all of these images available at all time, regardless of selling platform.
With the presence of machine guns pretty much any non armored vehicle is already a death trap. If I'm driving a regular car I'd be primarily worried about IEDs and direct machine gun fire. Nobody is going to waste their money on elaborate schemes to destroy an easy target.

engineering tradeoffs are important. By making the battery part of the car you can put more battery in, and you need less framework around the battery. This means integrated batteries have a larger capacity, and the car is more aerodynamic. (there is also less weight in not having to have a separate frame around the battery, but this is more than outweighed by the fact that you have more heavy batteries which means a heavier frame)

There's a lot of classical revival buildings around New Orleans and they fit into the landscape just fine, IMHO - visiting the Peristyle or Popp's Fountain in City Park is always super chill. They fit well into hot sweaty climates. Lots of room for a cool breeze to blow through, lots of space for hot air to rise to the ceiling.

Also, if you build a full-scale Parthenon complete with giant gilded statue of Athena, I think it is pretty arguable that you are deliberately inviting that same spirit to dwell in your city. I would bet money there have been people performing rituals to various Greek gods in the Nashville Parthenon since its inception. Admittedly I may be biased by living in a city that's been having parades in the honor of assorted Greek gods for the past hundred years or so; Mardi Gras is a heck of a thing.

Your answer is astray. What is at stake is evident : one can now provoke riots and deaths from thin air (and bits).
In my experience of working at startups, I disagree that they probably had a malicious motive when designing this feature. While I think they should allow you to delete the data, the genesis of this experience was probably (1) it took less work to build; and (2) no strong advocacy for user privacy on the product/engineering teams responsible.

As others have mentioned, I think "keep the content and make it read-only" would be the best possible experience, but I also understand (1) that would probably require even more work; and (2) sometimes you need to make business decisions to keep people from unsubscribing.
