Apply4 | Senior Ruby on Rails Engineer | Remote (EU timezone) | Full-time | $70k - $85k | https://bit.ly/ycror

Our software helps local governments manage public outdoor spaces (parks, roads, etc.) more effectively, making it easier for good things to take place, like special events, filming and infrastructure improvements.

We’re used by cities and local governments in multiple countries and our customers love us (Net Promoter Score of 71!) We’re looking for a seasoned engineer to join our friendly and supportive team to help us continue to improve on what we have, making sure our platform can serve people well in the years to come.

We’re a small (but established) company so you won’t be a cog in a big machine here — you’ll be working directly with me (the CTO), our product manager and our other two developers to shape the platform, helping to decide what will be the most high-impact thing to work on.

Feel free to apply using the link above or reach out to me directly.
So this is a way to text your customers with an URL to a mobile optimized website? A small problem I can see is many people are conditioned not to click the links in text because of all the scams out there.
It's a bad and clickbaity phrasing.

Instead of asking how many it takes to say "Stripe applicants etc..", you can instead just write the truth: "Two stripe applicants..." for example, a little more and you say "few", and so on... Actual words can be used to avoid misconceptions. But prevarication and omitting facts is not good for clickbaiting people though.

I love to give longer hugs, the issue I run into is that after a certain time I have an erection. This erection doesn't come from sexual arousal, this is just how most penises work, it seems. Does anyone have any tips for avoiding accidental erections?
> How do we create an incentive model that kills the “parked domain” industry without out pricing people who want to host a legitimate non-commercial personal site?

The simplest solution would be to revoke domains with domain parking pages on them.

If the domain contains an offer to sell the domain, you lose the domain.

That wouldn't solve 100% of the problem, but it would solve 80% of the problem, and that's better than what we have.

Good point!

The notion of half-life still works - but you are correct that the absorption is likely a product of the concentration. At any particular concentration, the half-life is still roughly representative.

A differential equation would be more accurate, but it's not as easy to convey.
I'd love to figure out where the disconnect is — and how we can make the manual more clear. It's a pretty simple rule: the number of semicolons specifies the dimension in which you "move". I've seen two disconnects, but yours might be different

* Julia's arrays are column major but when you use spaces to write them, you do so in row major fashion. This new syntax enables a column major input: `[1 2; 3 4]` is equivalent to `[1; 3;; 2; 4]`.

* When you're using spaces, it might feel "funny" to jump from one semicolon (which concatenates the rows in the first dimension) to three semicolons (which concatenates the matrices in the third dimension) in an expression like `[1 2; 3 4;;; 5 6; 7 8]`, but the key is that spaces first build rows and then the semicolons concatenate them along a particular dimension.

Anyhow, if you can expand on what's causing trouble, it'd be great to figure out how to improve the description in the manual.
SEEKING FREELANCER | $2,000USD bounty - Work complete, and bounty donation at users request

I'm working on an open-source library in a niche civil engineering field. I have a proprietary file format that I would like to decode and support.

I am almost certain the file is an SQLite database with the header changed, though my attempts to reconstruct the header and find any other changes have failed.

If you think you are up to the challenge, I've linked to some example files below, the first person who can share the procedure to update the file that it will open in a native SQLite reader I will pay a $2,000USD bounty or donate to a charity (your choice).

Email in profile, I'll post below if an answer has been accepted.

edit:
This has been decoded and the bounty will be donated! Waiting for confirmation from the person who provided the script to decode the file and I will share results and proof of donation
I think the knee jerk hatred of VBA is really odd. No other language has given more people an opportunity to create the tools they need.
3D Printed Generator Build Highlights the Scientific Method
Sidenote, if you haven't heard of CMS, that speaks more to your lack of experience in this area than the org's obscurity. I'm not saying everyone should know it, but your paranthetical downplaying of the org shows you're not deep in healthcare knowledge. Should it mean anything to us as readers that you personally never heard of a key agency?
Java is 26 years old.

The first distro to use Wayland by default was Hannah Montana Linux, 10 years ago. Only recently have more widespread distros started using Wayland by default.

Java is old, and Wayland is comparatively new.
Program size limits are a thing of the past. Today you don’t need to worry about program size, and (like on the CPU) you’ll probably bump into long compile times way before running out of space. Memory access is whatever RAM is on the board, plus whatever you want to stream/transfer from CPU RAM and/or disk.

Complexity doesn’t matter, your GPU programs can be arbitrarily complex. what matters is that your workload is fairly uniform - GPUs are SIMT machines that will realize performance gains any time you have lots of threads (thousands, millions, billions) that all mostly do the same thing and can execute mostly independently.

Yes, you can do Monte Carlo simulations, decision trees, and ML without Neural Networks. All of these things are extremely common.
Yes, Lisp and F# are esoteric programming languages in the industry.
It's missing the history of independent nation states at peace i.e. this kind of "gunboat" diplomacy is as old as civilization itself and no major power have been able to curtail it's hawks from pulling stunts even when they wanted to and they rarely do.
That's a strategy but there are issues with immune rejection since that's a xenograft. I think there are some products based off of this concept for other areas (skin grafts) after removing all xeno-cells from the tissue, but articular cartilage is more difficult to remove/replace xeno-cells with autologous or allogenic cells.
That's a non sequitur. No one is arguing that 2 is little or ok.

Just tell the truth in the title and don't click bait people.

This is not something we should normalize. Interviewing at tech companies is already terrible, and asking people to do it more frequently is not something we should encourage.

I also don’t follow the conclusion that because tech jobs pay well we should be ok with unprofessional behavior from employers.
Moral of the story: don’t buy any old smart garbage off the internet. It probably doesn’t have your best interests at heart.

Microsoft Applied Sciences Group | Senior / Principal Software Dev | REMOTE (Canada) | Full-time

I’m hiring for my Windows incubation team. We think of, research, and implement next-gen products, technologies, and user experiences. It’s like working at a startup, but with the job stability and perks of a large company. The team is all senior/principal level, affording us a fast pace even in the face of complicated challenges.

We’re currently working hard on an ML-based inking application (https://aka.ms/journal) but will ultimately move to other projects when ideation yields a higher-impact idea. The idea could be Windows tech, or maybe related to Surface hardware .. you never know.

I’m the hiring manager (nice to meet you!). Feel free to reach out with questions at first.last -at- microsoft.com.

• More info + apply as principal (15+ yrs): https://careers.microsoft.com/us/en/job/1214131

• Apply as senior (7+ yrs exp): https://careers.microsoft.com/us/en/job/1214156
Maybe these sites share some code? If you've already captured 2% of searches with one site, why not capture 1.5+1.5=3% of searches by running two sites.

> They invert the job/approval process.

Do any of the other FAANGs (MAGMAs??) do the same now?
I would be really annoyed by this. However, I doubt it's part of an intentional scheme to mess with people; it sounds more like a company which doesn't quite have its act together. I say "company" rather than "team", because making sure that hiring happens cleanly is one of those legally fraught areas where the top levels of the company should be making sure it happens correctly (not that they should be picking who gets hired, but making sure the process is followed correctly).

So, while I'm glad they're sharing their story, they probably dodged a bullet by not working for such a company. How a company interviews and hires, is your first glimpse at what it will be like to work there.
Virtual Pricing Director (VPD) | Remote | UK | Full-time | Senior Software Engineer | £80,000 - £100,000+

We’re a well-funded startup (no VC money) building the future of legal matter pricing, for small and large legal firms alike. Our software means an end to overcharging clients, arbitrary pricing, and other bad practices that have existed for years.

Our two directors are world authorities in this niche, and bring a number of signed firms ready to use our software as we transition from our current soft launch into hard launch.

Our fully-remote dev team is small, and therefore you’ll have a lot of opportunity to make a noticeable impact, especially given the extremely flat hierarchy.

Our whole team is friendly, down-to-earth, and operates without ego. We think you’ll enjoy working with us, and we’re looking for similarly-minded folks.

The work is varied, challenging, and will be quite evenly split across the front and back end. Because of the need to get scheduled features out, fix bugs, and respond to the needs of newly onboarded firms, we’re looking for a seasoned React pro (hard requirement) who is also comfortable with Node.js, TypeORM (or similar), GraphQL, Apollo Client & Server (or similar), and API creation.

A bonus would be if you’ve had any prior experience with Ant Design (our UI framework of choice), Storybook, CircleCI, Heroku, Jira, and any client support ticket work.

In summary, we’re looking for a versatile, full stack developer who (after a period of learning the ropes on our specific setup) can hit the ground running and contribute to our fast-growing product and team.

Yeah, I always liked how I could generally solve something a "dumb" way for part 1, but would likely need to refactor it to be a bit smarter to solve part 2.
It is however, very much a follow the incentives kinda situation. Just as the monetary incentive can also bring about many unwanted behaviour. The pride /publication based incentives introduce their own flavour of dysfunction.
The posts discussed are public. Why couldn’t we discuss public statements, including criticising them? Each story is a lesson, and the subreddit also has good stories of people who got vaccinated or got their loved ones vaccinated after having seen some of these horror stories. They also have a strong redaction policy, and do not encourage stalking, trolling, or harassment.

The Guardian is also running some stories about how some peoples were led to distrust vaccines and paid it with their lives. This is important. We need to expose mistakes if we want to avoid repeating them.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but here's what's going on as I understand it:

1) The researchers compressed a group of stem cells into a xenobot

2) The xenobot is introduced into an environment with many loose stem cells

3) The xenobot, which moves of its own accord, moves around this environment and as it does so, collects and compresses loose stem cells into the shape of another xenobot

4) The newly compressed stem cells are now a new xenobot, which starts moving of its own accord and creating its own child xenobot. Goto 3.
Wow thanks for the new nightmare scenario. I have always treated everything up until the actual document signing process as transitory but after signing it as final, and never imagined it would be rescinded after. I'm not even sure how to manage that nightmare, where you have already told competing offers no and given notice at your current job, and now have to just hope you can restart the process with those other offers from a ridiculously weaker position.
Ha, this is great. I cracked up at the SpongeBob ones.
If boomers are going to start this, it is my hope that Gen X’s are going to finish this job, as they move into the leadership layer of society. They are the last bastion against this global insanity. The last generation born before the inter-webs were a thing. Hopefully Z’ers and Alpha will be wiser and less idiotic than Millennials.
I don't think they track 'quality' they just see people clicking and use that as a proxy for 'quality'. (Quoted because what does quality even mean?)
I've pursued a different strategy, which I feel is more effective once one has built a track record. I haven't had an interview where I was a cold intro to the management of the company in more than a decade. If there's already a pretty good feeling of mutual fit before the interview, the interview becomes more of a formality than a test.

I wouldn't be in an interview where I'm trying to impress the interviewer because that would imply that I'm shooting in the dark for the job, and I frankly don't have the time for that. Not trying to say my time is oh so special, but I have 4 young kids and a track record.

If I had to find a job today, I would use my network to source opportunities and also would find ways to reach leaders at companies I admire. I'm senior in my career now, but this is what I did when I was at the mid-level, too.
