REMOTE (Worldwide) - Senior Open Source Developer on Open edX - React, Python/Django, AWS/OpenStack (OpenCraft - Fully remote company)

Development specialized on the free software project Open edX, used by and in part developed by organizations like MIT, Harvard, McKinsey, and others, so you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to projects that are widely used and to be part of a thriving open source educational community. See edX.org, the MIT Open Learning Library or the French government online platform for public universities for examples of Open edX instances.

We are 35 senior developers, all working remotely from Europe, North & South America, Asia & Australia. The company is not affiliated with edX, but rather contributing and working with them on various projects. This is a full time position, where you would be able to work remotely from anywhere you want, as long as you have a good internet connection. : )

The Open edX platform is a large Python/Django codebase, with good code standards and architecture. You would work on different clients contracts using the platform. The clients list/references include Harvard, MIT, edX themselves, the French government, and various startups & universities currently running their own instances, or looking to create one. Tasks are very varied, from developing core platform features, custom exercises and tools for specific courses (XBlocks), customizing and deploying instances, working fullstack, operating our service infrastructure, improving our hosting platform, etc. You won't get bored here.

Most of your work is published as free software (Open edX is released under the AGPL license, which requires clients to release modifications under the same license), and you would also contribute to the free software project, pushing most of your developments upstream through pull requests, contributing features, documentation or help on mailing-lists.

We welcome applicants of all genders and ethnicities.

You can read more about how we work in our handbook, at https://handbook.opencraft.com/

Stack: Python/Django, Ansible, AWS/OpenStack, React, Debian/Ubuntu, MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Redis, Elasticsearch, JS, HTML/CSS.

Nice to haves: Terraform, Vault, Packer, Prometheus, ELK, Docker, Android/iOS. We are building a modern infrastructure and having a strong DevOps presence on top of core software engineering skills is a big plus with us.

Interview process: a 30 minutes Hangout with a (simple) coding exercise.

Arguably, lining figures are uppercase numbers and old-style figures are lowercase numbers. Certainly, the former work better in an all-caps setting than the latter, and the latter in mixed-case typesetting than the former. I used to set Canadian and British postcodes, which are mixes of letters and numbers using small caps and old-style figures when I printed mailing labels for the magazine I published in the 90s.
Data Annotation Service – From the Backstage to the Front Stage
The way I understand this concept of a 'widely digitally delicate prime' is that you can take such a prime, prepend it with any sequence, and receive a prime in return.

If that is the case, then finding such a number immediately trivialises the search for the 'largest known prime' - take the largest known prime, tack this number on the back of it, and you now have a new largest prime. I guess you'd get bonus points if somehow it's also Mersenne.
True. Facebook, Google, Microsoft, literally any US based company.

Only, there are still racially restrictive covenants on many properties to this day. Yes, in San Francisco. Thankfully, they're unenforceable, but the evidence is writ large on the legal system. And no, they didn't forbid white people from living anywhere -- if you've got reams of evidence to contradict that, show it.

I never used GNU screen as its command prefix, ctrl-k, conflicted w/ the command prefix for my preferred editor, JOE, and I was always too lazy to reconfigure the bindings. tmux uses ctrl-b by default, which smoothed the way to using tmux. I'm still too lazy to learn any tmux commands; the only one I know off-hand is ctrl-b-d, for detaching, which is sufficient for my needs. Scrolling is annoying in tmux sessions because I don't remember the commands, but I compensate by avoiding tmux when I might need the scroll buffer or by tee'ing output to temporary files.

No seriously. The estimated prevalence of venous thrombosis in the United States is 1:1000. The reported numbers of VTE after the vaccine would be normal in the general population. I am an emergency physician and I diagnose and manage PE and DVT several times per week. To me this seems much ado about nothing.
Well, I stand corrected then. More discoverability would definitely make the world a better place. :)
Deliberate code reading clubs especially in the way the author describes it is a great idea; it does seem like a rare gift to be able to dive into someone else’s (often not well structured) code and figure out how it works. One caveat is that in the end, especially for poorly designed code, there’s only so much you can mitigate or train someone on the fundamental requirement- how big a mental model can you instantaneously form about a new codebase? I’m not sure how much you can train someone to increase this metric.

- Main file is ~7K lines of bash.

- There is a bash-based YAML parser ! It says it can handle "well-formed YAML document"

- It is has "download and run code from the web" -- if the command is not found, it will go to pre-defined github location and try to download and run that command. The versions are optional, and there are no package lock / integrity checks.

I am surprised how far some people go to avoid real programming languages... lua for example is <400 kb installed and provides infinitely better syntax and list processing tools.
Exactly. Sure, my cousin Earl can spin up a container and some VMs. Will they be secure? Probably not. Will they be backed up and offsite failover? Probably not. Will they get ransomware at some point? Probably.

There is no need to make blanket statements about on-prem vs. cloud. You have to weigh the pros and cons as any other business decision.

It’s about controlling you’re own destiny with either decision.
People talk about the tyranny of genre, but I guarantee you none of these are granular enough to get the thing that I want if I want to hear more Alberti bass lines or I wanted to hear bright and shrill square wave leads.

Thank you for writing this, I always was amazed by the smoothness of the GUI. You expressed all my thoughts!
I might have missed it so I ask:

Do they know what these would have been used for?

Earlier writing I've seen on clay tables were for things that would be hard to remember like accounting crops, taxes, calendars.

But these seem like phrases from stories or ritual, that wouldn't be hard to remember and bulky to keep in a big tablet... were they ritual items and the inscription somehow was thought to be important / special because it was written?
"A theory is the more impressive the greater the simplicity of its premises, the more different kinds of things it relates, and the more extended its area of applicability. Therefore the deep impression that classical thermodynamics made upon me. It is the only physical theory of universal content which I am convinced will never be overthrown, within the framework of applicability of its basic concepts."

(Albert Einstein)

"The law that entropy always increases holds, I think, the supreme position among the laws of Nature. If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell's equations — then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observation — well, these experimentalists do bungle things sometimes. But if your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation."

(Sir Arthur Eddington)

Sounds like the sandbox still worked. Of course it's still bad but it show how sandboxing applications works well to contain exploits.

Makes we wonder how many applications on Windows and MacOS actually support the system sandbox.
Yeah. I used to work for a mid sized company and they did a lot of on-prem. Even there it took a lot of lead time to add 20 physical nodes to a cluster.

Now I work for an Global Enterprise and the benefits of cloud aren't necessarily about reliability--they're more about the speed and efficiency that pet projects can be spun up and spun down without international labor laws and multi-year leases.

This was part of the beauty of Knuth's Literate Programming concept: The code was meant to be read, rather than scanned. The ability to do things like replace blocks of code with

```
@<Description of what happens here@>
```

and then provide the description in a part of the .web file that made sense for talking about it made it possible to, for example, describe a complex algorithm in understandable steps, allowing the reader to then delve into the details of how those steps worked at a later time. When I wrote LP-style code, though, I liked to put my main method at the head of the file rather than buried somewhere deep as Knuth usually did, as it made it easier to give a high-level take of how the program worked.

With modern coding, though, where things are broken down into modular chunks, LP, I think, breaks down. It's a lot easier to have a single readable weave-generated document when you have a single compilation unit. One of the things that turned me off of cweb was that I realized that my practice of putting the .h and .c files together in a single .cweb source file made sense for the presentation, it greatly increased compilation times since the .h file would be regenerated even if it wasn't changed which then meant that all the files that read the .h file would also be regenerated. Given that compilation times back in the 90s were a significant issue (and in many cases, we were in a single-processing environment), this was a big handicap.

With a lot of modern coding, the biggest challenge is just finding a starting point for grokking the code. In a Spring application, for example, the main() method is literally the least interesting part of the code. Usually, I will look for a controller and start digging from there. Given the fact that so many of my co-workers seem unwilling to create simple readme.md files that talk about how to build and run code, I think it would be a lot to ask for them to provide a guide to reading the code.
Biologically programmed joy. Good or bad? You decide.

I just moved screen's command prefix to ctrl-j, for the same reason, it did not conflict with Joe (in JStar mode) command keys.

That reconfiguration occurred very soon after I was introduced to screen, circa. 1993 or thereabouts.

A mild reaction to the vaccine is way different than actually having a viral infection. Potential long term persistent symptoms can occur with viral diseases and particularly COVID. Not sure that comparison makes sense.

Additionally JNJ has side effects as well.
Sometimes we make memories up. We hear stories about an event enough and our brain just fills in the blanks until it becomes solid seeming.

> this concept of a 'widely digitally delicate prime' is that you can take such a prime, prepend it with any sequence, and receive a prime in return.

This makes no sense. Let X be a number that satisfies your condition and consider the number XX formed prepending X to itself. You're asserting that XX is prime, but it is obviously composite, because it is divisible by X (just like say 2929 is 29*101).

Permissions are something I wish desktop os’s would adopt. In most systems, any rando application I run has access to every computer resource that I as a user have access too! Depending on the system, this could mean: my personal documents, my desktop folder, my downloads, all attached peripherals, including microphones and cameras, serial and parallel ports, any radios including WiFi and Bluetooth, the network, a list of running processes, a list of installed applications, the clipboard, and on and on. Why on earth should this be the default? As a user, I should be able to easily deny any application access to these things.

This made a little sense when you could trust application developers with access to all these things, but that ship has long since sailed.
