TripleLift | Software Engineering | Remote (USA / Canada)

We're looking for software engineers to help us scale our real time bidding exchange. We're an adtech company focused on innovative formats that power the open web and are currently running ~60 billion auctions a day. AdTech is definitely not for everyone but I believe it gives a great understanding for how the web works and gives you the ability to work on large scale and complex systems quickly.

Our official jobs are at https://triplelift.com/careers/ but even if you don't see anything listed just email me (dgoldin@triplelift.com) and I'll see what we can do.

The stack is Java (Netty) for the real time bidding system, the standard Python/Scala stack on the data engineering side, and various services in JavaScript, TypeScript, and PHP.

You know, that Tesla, for about 6 months in the mid 2010s, routinely swapped batteries at a road-side site in California. I just hope that the hoodlums don't learn how to do that too.
Don't let all that EV smugness go to your head. There are plenty of reasons to have a few ICE vehicles around. I hate to think of which type of vehicle suffers more when there is an X-Class solar flare on the scale of a Carrington event.
Someone recently pointed out to me that overfertilizing young trees makes them spindly and prone to leaning or even breaking. The wood is just not strong enough.

In the 90's they scoured every math and science field for people to throw into 'web developer' positions. When the bubble collapsed a few of them had learned a lot and stayed around, the rest had to wander off and find something else to do, often back to what they were doing before, if they still could.

The data sciences growth was not organic, which means it probably isn't sustainable either.

Quoth the Wikipedia:

Mt. Gox was a bitcoin exchange based in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.[1] Launched in July 2010, by 2013 and into 2014 it was handling over 70% of all bitcoin (BTC) transactions worldwide, as the largest bitcoin intermediary and the world's leading bitcoin exchange.[2][3][4][5]

Being able to keep track of what data was where is the initial bump I had as well when learning Clojure. Unlike the author, I personally got used to it, and generally don't struggle with it anymore, but part of that is learning good habits on your code base where you make judicious use of names, doc-string, destructuring and have a well defined data model using records or Spec or Schema, etc.

The other one is just getting good at the REPL and inspecting the implementation for functions to quickly see what keys and all they make use of.

Something the article didn't really cover either is that it's not really the lack of static type checking that's the real culprit, its the data-oriented style of programming that is. If you modeled your data with generic data-structures even in Haskell, Java, C# or any other statically typed language, you'd have the same issue.

If Clojure used abstract data-types (ADTs) like is often the case in statically typed languages, things would already be simpler.

(defrecord Name [first middle last])

(defn greet
[{:keys [first middle last]
:as name}]
(assert (instance? Name name))
(println "Hello" first middle last))

(greet (->Name "John" "Bobby" "Doe"))

This is how other languages work, all "entities" are created as ADTs, it has pros/cons off course, which is why Clojure tend to favour the data-oriented approach where you'd just do:

(defn greet
[{:keys [first middle last]
:as name}]
(println "Hello" first middle last))

But as you see, this makes it harder to know what a Name is and what's possibly available on it.
Wife’s account was hacked. 15 years old, thousands of photos.
As in she got an email saying new login. I told her to go to app and change password. Nope. They had changed the email and phone number associated with it.
That was that.
Spent entire day on it and all we could get was the to have account locked.
Completely impossible to talk to anyone. Nearly got the occulas to try and back door it.

I have backups of many but not all.

Lots of tears. Turns out almost all of her friends have lost their original accounts.
I don't quite follow you here. Sure, lots of (non-Intel) semi-manufacturing happens outside the US in 2021. But when the industry built itself, a huge portion was in the... USA. Just like the space industry.
This would sound strange but the biggest subscription I pay annually (which does not seem like a subscription) is my DMV registration renewal fees. It comes around $300+ every year out-of-the-blue in my mailbox and I realize then that is indeed a subscription for a product which is my Car that I never thought about.
You don't see a lot of natural hot air balloons floating around do you?

Buoyancy in water is different than in air. Lighter than air natural controlled flight, even in a relatively dense atmosphere like Earth or Titan, is highly unlikely. Fish maintain buoyancy with oil in their livers which is a relatively low energy process.

Hot air balloons and other LTA vehicles work by having a mean density lower than the containing medium e.g. the atmosphere. Even with Earth's relatively dense atmosphere there's not a lot of lifting gases that are effective without significant heating. Definitely not readily made by biological chemical processes. That leaves thermal balloons. The amount of energy to heat the air in a hot air balloon is pretty significant and requires energy dense fuels.

So a hot air balloon animal would need to produce and then burn energy dense hydrocarbons and have a strong yet lightweight natural gas envelope and body structure that could handle the burning of that fuel. Burning I would note at temperatures that would sterilize surfaces.
But my point is that on the platforms that matter, it's not really a source of portability issues, and not a problem. For gamedev, anything outside of VC++ and Clang are niche and thus largely ignored.
First sentence is correct. Second sentence does not reflect reality on the ground. Police budgets in LA were slashed last year. LAPD cut around 10% of their cops. Measure J? redirects 10% of the LA county budget towards anything but police, which is essentially a massive cut to the county police department. At this point non-violent criminals in LA only go to jail if they walk themselves in.
Try disposable blades from Feather, a Japanese razor and blades company. It is sold on Amazon. I settled on their cartridge razor just for convenience. Blades are excellent.
People knock inkjets but I've loved my Brother inkjet. Finding cheap ink is not a problem; Amazon has knockoffs for cheap. And in spite of what others do I gladly print color at home for random purposes. Sometimes for a family gift, other times for kid projects or hobby stuff. Printing color on photo paper produces great results.

I also enjoy using WiFi. It makes printing with a laptop less of hassle and gives you flexibility with where the printer resides.
Yeah, quite possible. I haven't worked on the project in ~six years and lost all context, but I'd revisit it and see if perhaps there was a simple solution if any of it was still current.
About 7 years ago. We had XML data that needed putting in an Elastic search index. XSLT was a perfect match for doing the transform.

Also used it for pdf report generation a good 10+ years ago. Data was in XML format, used XSLT to format the PDF. Again a perfect match.

For all the complaints about XML and it slowly disappearing from use I wish for specific things people would still use it today instead of automatically discarding it as dated technology.

At the weekend I was setting up an Envoy proxy. I'm not saying it should be configured with XML but I was thinking why the hell is it using YAML for complex config which made it hard to write, read, parse etc and how is YAML seen as better than XML when XML would of made the config much easier with a schema than the resulting YAML.
it'd be interesting to see if this flash drive transport for documents evolves into an email address you send via your phone instead (so no hardware on your end needed).
> Still confused why they picked such an anti-union state like Alabama for an attempt at unionization.

My understanding is the particular area had a long history of unionization, maybe particularly by African Americans.

I read about it elsewhere, but here's the first source I could find that speaks to that:

https://www.brookings.edu/blog/the-avenue/2021/03/16/the-ama...

> In the South, anti-labor laws are inextricably linked to the historic suppression of Black workers. Racism in the form of no- or low-wage Black labor has been part of the growth model of racialized capitalism. And when workers are unable to collectively bargain and demand their fair share, economic growth becomes concentrated in the hands of a few.

> Fortunately, the Birmingham metropolitan area—home to Bessemer—has already proven that unionized Black workers can create economic growth and shared prosperity. At the turn of the 20th century, Birmingham labor unions facilitated the establishment of a Black middle class.
Black and white miners organized to form the United Mine Workers (UMW) union and, together, secured better wages. Following UMW’s success, what was then known as the Alabama Federation of Labor (AFL) followed the same strategy of a racially integrated membership—in part out of fear that nonunionized Black workers would replace striking workers. As a result, Black Alabamians earned leadership positions and spots in every committee of the AFL, and the union’s first five vice presidents were Black. This inclusive labor movement continued until the 1930s, when U.S. Steel—rife with Ku Klux Klan members—began to restrict job promotions for unionized Black workers, limiting access to senior positions they previously occupied.
Didn't stop thieves from stealing my GF's cat in LA. Globalization baby.
This is nonsense. I am sympathetic to even the most obnoxiously leftist descriptions of the exploration of the New World, but even then, acknowledging that the large scale conquest of the Americas involved multiple genocides is not in conflict with acknowledging that some of the explorers that found new lands (not only the Americas) were brave visionaries.

Why is it so difficult to just accept that a single person can have both inspiration qualities that we should try to emulate and also grave moral failings we should learn from? No one is perfect and hardly anyone is purely evil either.
Relative plenitude did not dictate the elements we and our relatives use, and would not for other life, either. In any case, many other elements are plentiful.

Carbon is a good choice for our temperature range, but there are plenty of temperature ranges as well or better represented. Life will not sneer at the others. Most life on Earth cannot make any use of the carbon in CO2, no matter how much of it there is; in fact, the more of it there is, the worse off most living creatures are, only green plants excepted. You would die in a room with the nitrogen replaced by CO2, despite that you use none of the nitrogen at all. (Only bacteria can "fix" nitrogen, and only some of them.)

Iron is very plentiful in the cosmos and in Earth's constitution, and most life depends on it, but it is practically nonexistent in the open ocean; yet life thrives there. Even where iron is plentiful, life uses hardly any. Silicon is extremely plentiful, too, yet used by our life even less -- until just lately!

So, your argument from plenitude utterly collapses. Life as we know it is a product of history and circumstance. Given different circumstances and different history, you should expect a different product. There will certainly be similarities dictated by physics: e.g., cells are very, very likely, and equally so use of liquids. Aperiodic fibers to encode genes, cognate to our DNA, and others to fold up and carry out processes, cognate to our peptide chains a.k.a. proteins, are quite likely. But there is no reason to imagine that any of the details of the encoding would match.
These stores sell cheap junk most people will not buy if they gave the option of buying better stuff, so they're often considered a sign of blight, much like payday lenders. Besides that, the article seems to contend that they are driving businesses like grocers out of business, I would guess by undercutting them on high-margin items.
A basic sanity is let the email address on file as of yesterday, and for the past 10 years take the account back.

Utterly insane that this is not possible.
My bet is that our generation's will be microplastics.
Tell HN: HN should have a light/dark mode switch
Yes yes, more features is not always good.

Yes yes, you can install addons and personal scripts.

It's not about that. This page burns my retinas at night by default. It should have a simple button for dark theme, or user config checkbox.

That's all.
It is impossible to get the same palm print every time, so what they are storing are probably a fingerprint (ahah) of specific points of interest in a palm print. Still scary, though.

I generally agree but if the grocers offered fresh produce and the dollar store doesn't the picture is murkier.

even if you ignore addiction , mobile phones have been integrated into society in so many infrastructure-like roles that they are hardly at all optional or 'ignorable' at this point.

When you live in a world that requires bills to be paid via mobile, rent to be paid via mobile, mass transit tickets bought via mobile, physical location reservation via mobile, as well as any customer service only available via mobile... who cares about personal addiction; normal life isn't feasible without a mobile phone at that point, and very few (if any at all) mobile phones are designed from the premise that they should respect your attention.

The mobile phones that are designed to preserve the users attention are widely incompatible with any functions that the user needs (billpay/specific group apps, whatever) to stay integrated with the systems being forced upon them, so those options are already non-starter.

That means this problem is worth discussing -- non-compulsive normal people as well as compulsive addicts are being affected by the lack of 'respect for attention' that mobile phones have, and this problem intersects with the 'required prevalence' of mobile phones across the world.

> The people voted and rejected it.

My understanding is the deck is pretty stacked in favor of the company during those votes. The documentary American Factory was pretty eye opening: the workers in that factory were trying to form a union, and in response the company hired anti-union consultants and had all workers sit through all kinds of mandatory propaganda sessions.

It's like if the in the month leading up to a federal election, every registered voter was required to watch an hour of Fox News opinion programming every day. Sure it won't influence everyone, but it will definitely tip the scales.
> I read cereal boxes while eating breakfast and shampoo bottles while sitting on the toilet.

Clearly not everyone had a Reader’s Digest subscription like my family did.
The same is true of E2EE in non-proprietary software.
That does not seem to account for the wide disparity in outcomes among normal people in America vs many European counties like the Netherlands.

There appears to be a real corruption problem in the US that is distorting what politicians can do for poor people.
seems like this faced the hug of death.

I would be curious whether they considered Zulip or any of the other open source chat alternatives in this decision, and how they compared.

my sense is that chat is one of those areas where there's not so much obvious differentiation from the outside, and a lot of stickiness once you land somewhere, which implies there will remain 5-10 players in the space for some time to come.
The aliens in the movies were doing rather poorly by the end of each.
and is, oddly enough, coming back to the US. There's a semiconductor fab opening in Austin courtesy of Samsung, and a semi fab in arizona courtesy of TSMC. I guess they are taking advantage of labor and technical expertise due to intel's chandler site?
I really wonder why union votes are necessary, and think the legal framework should be changed.

What if those workers who wanted to join a union did so, and the union collectively bargained on their behalf. Those who did not want to join could continue to negotiate with their employer on a 1-1 basis. This outcome is also more efficient for the employer since some % of the workforce is choosing to work through a single representative, lightening the load for HR.

Shareholders in a business can associate freely and vote as a bloc if so inclined, so I see no reason why workers should not do the same. For that matter, I often think unions would have an increased bargaining position by holding one share of stock per represented worker.
I disagree and this is a condescending response. I know what it means to be objective. Hell, I probably lean right of the median on HN. I’m just presenting the observations of someone who could probably be called radically centrist I guess. I genuinely view PBS as the middle ground between Fox News and MSNBC.

Carbon is a way better chemical for life than silicon. It can form vastly longer chains and produces IIROCC (if I recall organic chemistry correctly) much more robust bonds.

Additionally we find organic molecules everywhere from comets to gas clouds in galaxies. We don't really find as much interesting silicon-based chemistry everywhere.
