Spacelift | Remote | Europe | Full-time | Senior Software Engineer | $80-120k

We're a VC-funded startup building an automation platform for Infrastructure-as-Code, adding a Policy-as-Code layer above it, in order to make IaC usable in bigger companies, where you have to take care of state consistency, selective permissions, a usable git flow, etc.

On the backend we're using 100% Go with AWS primitives. We're looking for backend developers who like doing DevOps'y stuff sometimes (because in a way it's the spirit of our company), or have experience with the cloud native ecosystem. Ideally you'd have experience working with an IaC tool, i.e. Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, or SaltStack.

Overall we have a deeply technical product, trying to build something customers love to use, and already have a lot of happy and satisfied customers.

We promise interesting work, the ability to open source parts of the project which don't give us a business advantage, as well as healthy working hours. We've also got investment days on Fridays, when you can work on anything you want, as long as it could possibly benefit Spacelift in some way.

If that sounds like fun to you, apply at https://grnh.se/3138190b5us or email me at kubam at spacelift dot io!

You can find out more about the product we're building at https://spacelift.io and also see our engineering blog for a few technical blog posts of ours: https://spacelift.io/blog/engineering

PS: Fear not, no whiteboarding!
Wait.. Dark Castle actually runs?!
I can't get the controls to work, can anyone help.. I desperately want to show this to my son so he can see what I used to play. :)
Honestly, many many people feel that way. I have been there most of my working life.

When you don’t make enough to make ends meet, or to do so comfortably, sure, fixing that situation is going to be very important to you.

But once you have what you need to live the life you want, why not simply live the life you want? One of my closest friends has been at google for almost 20 years. He doesn’t want to be promoted because he likes his job and his coworkers.

OTOH if money is your thing, that’s OK too.
Amen. It's such a flagrantly anti-consumer plug at this point
Yes, but there are 300 battles I can identify in my life.

I have the time for... one.

So for the others, an individual solution so that I don't get screwed would be nice.
the interview process does not optimize for great people with relevant experience but for those who repeatedly grind leetcode problems irrelevant to the job.

i interviewed a while ago at a FAANG where they had a long standing problem related to their OS. i knew the solution because i recently brought a product to market built on top of a similar OS and had to address the same problem.

but it was more important to them i passed their coding test within a few minutes, and that i choose the optimum solution, which can only be found if you can spend an hour thinking about it. i bombed the interview due to not being used to coding interviews and having to talk while i think, and having to do all this in a few minutes.

they are probably still wondering how to fix their problem.

Supreme Court to Hear Andy Warhol Copyright Infringement Case
It might or might not be fake. All we can say is that it can't be substantiated by anything on their website (they aren't referring to external sources), and that they are pretending that their data has been independently substantiated (presumably hoping nobody actually follows the citation links).

I think refraining from the use of 'comrade' suggests it's not satire. Otherwise, I would agree that it would be hard to know.

MorphMarket.com | Senior React Developer | Remote | Full-time | Contract | https://www.morphmarket.com

I'm the founder of MorphMarket.com. We are an online marketplace that connects breeders and keepers of lizards, geckos, snakes, frogs, spiders and other captive-bred pets. Launched in 2015, we are the largest reptile-related website in the world with over 5,000 active sellers in North America and Europe on any given day. Our users passionately love the least loved animals.

We are looking to add another experienced React front-end developer to our fully remote team. Having become the leader in buying & selling, we are expanding our services for this industry.

Our backend is implemented in Python, of course. We use Django/Postgres/Redis with a front-end of React for new development. These new pages are replacing our older JQuery/Javascript/Bootstrap pages. As a FE dev, you could think of yourself as a Python handler. :)~

Check out our recent work in this demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNrGkf20NPc

Key skills: React, Javascript, SCSS, Bootstrap, JQuery. Good knowledge of webpack, flexbox, debugging, browser caching, performance profiling, web performance fundamentals. Pragmatic: ability to balance quality and speed.
Nice to have: Typescript, React Native, AWS Services

There are 8-10 people on our product team. We collaborate with Github and Slack. We are a bootstrapped family-owned startup, with strong revenues and growth. As a developer myself, I try to keep things fun and interesting for the team.

Please contact us at jobs@morphmarket.com with a statement of interest, relevant qualifications/experience, and billing rate. Thanks!
Some of UX guidance is really good and should be in fact part of the HTML spec.

> Do not use <input type="number"> unless your user research shows that there’s a need for it. With <input type="number"> there’s a risk of users accidentally incrementing a number when they’re trying to do something else - for example, scroll up or down the page. And if the user tries to enter something that’s not a number, there’s no explicit feedback about what they’re doing wrong.

> Do not set the inputmode attribute to decimal as it causes some devices to bring up a keypad without a key for the decimal separator

Also, sad to realise that some of core UX features for HTML, like entering numbers, is so broken three decades later.
Let's not forget the value of a reputation system. Both parties have an incentive to be reasonable & avoid getting kicked out of the platform.

Yeah, it's not perfect, and some bad actors abuse the rating system: "the driver wants me to wear a mask? I'll report him for unsafe driving" was one that I heard before.

But ultimately, knowing there's a record of whose car I went into makes me feel safer than riding with an unvetted driver that no one else knows I'm with.
I think Fortrabbit allows you to scale easily to have a fault tolerant infrastructure without needing know-how. Kind of Like Heroku in some regards.

A dedicated server is nice but if it fails and you have no redundancy, your service goes offline.
Flagship Biosciences | Broomfield, Colorado | Image Analysis Engineer | US Remote/Onsite | C++ | $98k-$118k

Flagship Biosciences is looking for an Image Analysis Engineer on our Imaging Science team. This role will be directly responsible for maintaining existing image analysis functionality in our current production toolbox as well as advancing that suite and developing new functionality. We are based in Broomfield, Colorado but our development teams are remote. This role has close interaction with many teams that are in-office and would likely benefit from an in-person presence.

The existing toolbox relies on traditional image analysis algorithms as well as ML to generate scores for pathology review in support of pharmaceutical trials. As we advance more into the clinical space, this role will be critical in developing robust diagnostic algorithms to directly help patients.

As owning and maintaining existing solutions will be a large focus of this role, a solid background in C++ and image processing and analysis techniques are being heavily selected for.

If interested please see https://flagshipbio.bamboohr.com/jobs/view.php?id=79 for more information. Also feel free to email me directly at canderson@flagshipbio.com. I'm not the hiring manager but my team works very closely with this role and I am able to provide more details on what this role entails.
This is wonderful!

For me, accessibility has always been kind of an afterthought. Not because I don't think it's important but because I don't really have the knowledge of best practices. I hope someone creates a generator for it because I would easily make this my standard front-end for all new projects.

In English, "he" is traditionally gender neutral, like in most languages. So the bot's really just changes gender-neutral singular into gender-neutral plural.
I work at Fevo and love it! I'd be delighted to answer any questions about it.
> terrible attempt at satire

If it is indeed satire, I think it's actually pretty good. It demonstrates the absurdity of the situation with minimal exaggeration.

That is the reason that every social media site which has a like or upvote should also have a dislike or downvote. That way you can signal, that you have a reaction to it, but you don't want to spread it further.
ok, over 1M lines of code...

...For the Dropbox client.

line count from: (https://dropbox.tech/application/incrementally-migrating-ove...)

how high-level are "high-level" languages? I would say that it would take far fewer lines of C or even Assembly to accomplish the same goals. 50k lines of C, probably. XTerm is ~70k lines of C, if I recall (I am certainly within 0.5 orders of magnitude), and it is extremely complex and does much more.

if you want a more direct comparison, look at rsync or syncthing. I haven't looked at the size of those, ever, but I'd be willing to bet that both are FAR smaller than 1M lines of code.

So, how it acceptable that a high-level language requires more lines of code than a "lower-level" language like C or Go? we're supposed to GAIN SOMETHING in the tradeoff by using high-level languages, and we're not. certainly not as much as we assume we are.

we need to pay attention to these assumptions that we're making to ensure that they're true, periodically. we're not. it's just accepted as fact that "high-level" languages require fewer lines of code and less work to produce high-quality software, and I don't think we're seeing the benefits of the tradeoff anymore, if we ever really did, outside of tiny example programs.
I was thinking exactly the same thing, except

① it was '83, not '85 (and thus air-cooled);

② it was an aftermarket camper van conversion with some slight design issues in the pop top, not a Westfalia;

③ after I rebuilt the engine a second time we sold it, so, blessedly, it's not mine anymore. My engine rebuild survived for a couple of years until the new owner drove it in second gear for an hour at highway speeds, overheating the engine to the point where it punched a pushrod through the crankcase.
It's apparently already breaking a few people's compilers, check the 2nd comment on the PR.
Productivity Loss in Brainstorming Groups: A Meta-Analytic Integration
Here's some extra info about us:

ProcedureFlow is not your typical flowchart tool. We took the good parts, like the visual map, and fixed all the bad things:

• The "editing" experience is secondary. Viewing and navigating the flows is the priority.
• We democratize your company's procedures. The flows are meant to be used and improved by everyone at your company.
• We only have so many shapes that can be added. You don't just drag/drop a "rectangle" and make it purple. You add an "action" shape that has semantics.
• We recommend making smaller flows and linking them together rather than one big flowchart understood by a few people.

Here's some recent blog posts about our Engineering team:

- How we do software engineering: https://medium.com/procedureflow-engineering/how-we-do-softw...
- Building our API: https://medium.com/procedureflow-engineering/building-api-au...

We offer:

• Competitive salary
• Autonomous remote work and working with a great team.
• Stock options signing bonus. Topped off based on individual/company performance and each funding round.
• Vacation: 3 weeks to start. We're very flexible with additional time off (errands, family time, appointments, etc).
• RRSP matching up to 4%.
• Good health coverage.
• Good work life balance. We don’t crunch or work regular overtime – deadlines are owned by us. Rare overtime like after hours maintenance means compensated time off.
• An opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a fast growing Canadian startup. You’ll be very key to our success -- helping us grow the team into a well-oiled machine. Being an early employee means you have the possibility to grow into larger roles as the company grows (engineering IC, management, specialization, etc).
>What is it doing? Firing off a cascade of JS event hooks that pre-query reaction gifs, fetching away status for every user I might have mentioned, or what?

Probably not sluggish for any of that, just that some incompetent dev didn’t want to deal with the built in input control or the inconsistency between OSes so they rolled their own and coded it badly.

Number of times I’ve had to deal with devs doing things like deciding we must create a custom color picker only for them to code it and it glitches if you drag your mouse off the edge of the color wheel. Or coding their own text controls that break OS spellcheck or autocomplete and have input delay for some reason.

Just isn’t that much talent about up to the task of building inputs yet all the low talents rush to roll their own for the smallest reasons.

Describing a species wiping itself out as “nature righting itself” seems to me a bit like saying a shotgun is a cure for cancer.

This basically boils down to an argument in strict favour of primacy, which doesn't strike me as as any more obviously moral than alternatives
Global Income Coin | Software Engineer & many more | Remote | Full Time | Non Profit | $100k+

Global Income Coin a nonprofit startup striving to give every human on earth a dollar a day of income. We're launching a new coin called GLO, intended to be used for payments just like the dollar or the euro. As adoption grows, we can slowly create additional money and give this away for free, to people directly.

Our tokenomics are the opposite of bitcoin. When demand for bitcoin grows, the price per coin rises because the number of coins is fixed. With Global Income Coin, we print new coins instead, stabilizing the coin. The new coins are distributed as basic income.

We raised a $2m seed donation from Sid Sijbrandij (GitLab, YC W15) and are hiring for a variety of roles to help realize this vision:

- Algorithmic Trading Engineer

- Head of Econometrics

- Head of Community

- Head of Growth

- Lead Recruiter

- Lead Writer

- Software Engineers

- Motivated individuals with a vision for how to grow GLO

GCC is still basically better overall but it's basically chaotic.

LLVM seems to have better defaults for branch-y compiler code, but GCC has a lot of tricks up its sleeve that LLVM hasn't got.

FWIW though I think GCC is really playing with fire when it comes to it's future - the mailing list approach to development deters new contributors, the testing infrastructure is quite arcane, etc.

GCC should be an aspirational tool that people want to contribute to but aside from a few core contributors it feels like its basically on life support in some regards. And I say that as someone who actively tries to use it.

Its core competencies are pretty good but it's (mostly stallman, to be blunt) legacy has made it very brittle at its extremities e.g. LTO explodes on me way too often.
You're underestimating people's stupidity.
Controlling language is how you control thoughts. It's the chief function of propaganda.

this is especially disheartening. As a child of an immigrant family, one of the first things I'm going to do when I buy a house is proudly fly an American flag. I love our country and there are many reasons to be proud of it and its flag, and they're the reasons so many people want to immigrate here in the first place

> Why do people have to use the derogatory word «crank»?

The word "crank" has the connotation of someone self-deluded, aggressively promoting their beliefs and reacting badly to critique, and who decides for some reason to ignore the normal channels of peer-reviews, academia, and scientific research.

You can be wrong, and then you can be wrong and also lack formal education, forgo presenting your findings in peer-reviewed journals in the relevant area of your research, and decide that instead of joining the mainstream, you can completely sidestep it by creating your own "research institute" (of which you are of course a "fellow", because why not). Your findings and papers can then be self-published on the internet, bypassing any quality controls. Bonus point if your theories paint a fringe doomsday picture, "Roko's Basilisk is out to get you", "the most important existential threat to humanity is malign AI", etc.

About the only item in the crackpot index that Yudkowsky doesn't tick is the "they are trying to suppress my truth!", to his credit.

Each of those can be of little importance, but all taken together paint a pretty definitive picture.
