Baxter Planning Systems - http://www.bybaxter.com/careers/ - Austin, TX - FULLTIME LOCAL

Have you ever wondered where parts originate to repair your air conditioner, the ATM at your bank, or the MRI machine in your local hospital? To reduce downtime, companies depend on a global supply chain of warehouses, delivery services, and manufacturers to supply the service parts to maintain the infrastructure of the modern world. Baxter Planning Systems is seeking outstanding Java Developers to optimize and automate every facet of this service parts supply chain.

Baxter Planning Systems offers a unique environment combining the flexibility of a startup with the stability of an established company. Our developers are involved in the entire product lifecycle, from problem description to design and execution. 20 years of established business with numerous satisfied customers provides ongoing revenue that isolates us from the anxiety of funding cycles or the constant search for the next big deal.

Working closely with on-staff domain experts, our developers have the opportunity to learn about the complexities of global supply chain management, and offer their own solutions to the challenges it presents. Challenges like planning optimal stocking levels for tens of thousands of parts distributed across thousands of locations worldwide, combined with complex interdependencies due to substitutability, regulatory issues, and the need to minimize both downtime and cost.

The ideal candidate for Baxter is a smart developer who gets things done by applying technology, especially open source, to meet our goals while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. The development and QA teams work closely with key stakeholders to formulate and manage development timelines that are both realistic and produce high-quality application features. You won't have to start from scratch either: we have a great infrastructure of automated unit/integration/regression/UI tests, automated builds, virtualized test environments, and a solid technology stack. But we recognize there's always room for improvement and welcome the experience and expertise you'd bring in improving our development practices, tools, and execution.

Regretfully at this time we are unable to accommodate 3rd party placement agencies, H-1B sponsorships, long-term telecommuting, or relocation. Please submit your resume and salary requirements to devjobs@bybaxter.com.

One thing I question is whether loyalty, in a broad sense as it relates to employer/employee relationships, even matters going forward. I can't speak for every industry, as loyalty in the military is quite different from loyalty in food service, for example.

But, does anyone think it's a big deal if the chief architect of Google would leave to go work at some startup? Would anyone flinch if a cashier at Wal-Mart left to be a cashier at the local grocery store? Heck, does our skepticism even change when a politician changes party affiliations?

In the end, I believe it is employers who are on the wrong side of the loyalty equation going forward. In a mobile workforce where skills are valued, the ability for employees to find other options for employment has never been greater. This places companies at a major disadvantage, relative to the past.

Gotcha: But what about the people communicating with Hitler. What about their privacy? Would you extend the exception to them? If so, fine. What about the information they, in turn relay to others? Is that subject to the exemption as well? What if Hitler only talks privately to one guy, who is within the exception and then that guy turns around and talks to everybody Hitler intends to talk to, outside of the exception?

Where would the line be drawn? ;-)
> Ninite isn't just some good Samaritan, they're a for-profit company.

It saddens me that we've gotten to a point where operating a service company for profit can't also be seen as doing good. Everyone has to pay the bills (and maybe even be rewarded for their efforts?), even the do-gooders.

"How are you to hold an unlicensed professional accountable for anything that s/he's not already legally obligated to do?"

That's the sanction that is facing a lawyers/accountant/doctor/PE - if they mess up bad enough their licensing body takes their license away and they can't work anymore in that role. Combine that with personal liability for the decisions they make and I'm quite happy not being that kind of professional.

No, I was reacting to this:

> As long as we have only 2 parties, they will have no incentive to do anything different from one another.

In Europe, there are many more parties, but that doesn't make politics less of a two-team sports match.

My point was that you've identified the wrong culprit in the two-party system.

Structural comparison: In the Netherlands, employees are hired for specific terms. Usually this results in employment contracts for 6-12 months, followed by yearly renewals. This is a bit one-sided: The employer can only sever the contract if there is a very good reason, but the employee can leave with 30 days notice. After 3 years employees can be offered a 'permanent' contract... "we won't fire you unless there is a huge problem and/or we will negotiate a severance".

This 'loyalty' seems like a burden to employers from my American perspective. After living here, I've noticed a few things about Dutch employee loyalty.

* Removing the fear of possible instant dismissal seems to orient employees toward long term improvement instead of maintaining status-quo.

* Defined intervals of contract negotiation do the same, they give both parties a goal.

* Employees want that 'permanent' contract, it gives them even more stability. Once obtained, employees are hesitant to give up their luxurious position (true loyalty). My initial fear of a productivity drop doesn't seem to be valid, if I look at the 'perms' around me.

* Children do start to appear around this time, though. Good for loyalty, bad for midnight coding, good for efficiency.

I don't know how this system would play out back in the valley, but I feel that it beats the anarchy of at-will.

Also, you shouldn't be serving your content from a cdn anyway. All of your js files should be compressed into one file, browser cached, and gzipped.
Loyalty is a completely overloaded term. Here are some examples of what people mean:

-A company spending more on a junior employee than the value they initially provide, in exchange for the employee continuing to work at the company after they're profitable

-An employee staying at a job even when they have a better offer elsewhere in exchange for job security

-The recognition that an employee with company-specific knowledge is generally more valuable than an equally competent employee without that company's knowledge, and compensation/training/benefits/promotions to match

-The expectation of extra work/effort during critical moments for the company

-Employees being intrinsically motivated to create value for the company. This is frequently what companies want from their employees, but they often have a hard time articulating it.

Either way, it's helpful for employers and employees to identify exactly what they mean by loyalty, which aspects of it they want to improve, and what they're willing to change to get it. For example, I've taken learning & interesting projects in place of higher short-term compensation, but I wouldn't accept boring work for the sake of job security.

Is there a way to maybe not worry about productivity measurements? While in school, I didn't need to know how productive I was, I just needed to get stuff done. I either did or I didn't. I was given what was thought as manageable amounts of work but for some, it was too much and for others it wasn't enough.

In work, if I am given what is considered the next most important thing, what will those measurement tools get us? Maybe, at best, an idea if we want more people on the project but those projections can be rudimentary at best. Couldn't we just eyeball it and come to similar conclusions?

Productivity measurement reminds me of stock market analysis. Previous performance isn't indicative of future success. Projects are generally different enough that each one will have new challenges to figure out and learn.
Be careful with how to interpret that. They know their problems, but not the solutions. Ask them about problems that they know they want solved.

It's not just a few milliseconds though. For example at https://starthq.com, we are based in Finland, but host on Amazon in US East. A round trip to the US is 200ms+ whereas with CloudFront it's 8ms. Before we used a CDN our page took a few seconds to load - now it takes around 200ms.

I should also mention that all this happens only on first load. We embed etags in the URLs and use far off cache control expires dates, so subsequent page loads get the JS and CSS from the browser's cache.

Maybe the concept is not new, but the example he uses is brilliant. Everybody eats, everybody has at one point or another tried to democratically decide where to eat, and everyone that likes food dislikes/hates McDonalds.

I feel as if you read this as simply a rehash of known techniques, and what I saw was a light hearted/entertaining story, that anyone can relate to and take value from.

I'm still perplexed why Intel doesn't redesign their CPU socket to be more efficient at delivering power. They're channelling a lot of juice through some very tiny pins or pads, a fairly straight-up evolution of the old 8088 chip that fit into a DIP socket.

Is it somehow not practical to have several bigger pins for power that can handle more current than to have literally hundreds of pins dedicated to power? A surprising percentage of the pins on a modern Intel chip do nothing more than power the chip. The traditional pair of +Vcc and GND pins just can't cut it, apparently, and no wonder with some chips drawing over 100W of power.

Not too long ago video cards started taking a direct feed from the PSU rather than relying on the PCI or PCIe bus. It's surprising the same thing hasn't happened to high-power integrated circuits.

>Companies, even ones who have the resources and should no better, are more interested in finding someone already trained (and griping about how they can't find them) than investing in training new people (and of course the fail to realize the correlation between the two phenomenon).

In my experience, many prefer to shirk the responsibility for hiring/training entirely by contracting out wherever possible.

After some number of prime/sub contracting shops have taken their cut the employer likely ends up with exactly the kind of unqualified body that one should expect for 50% of the base rate they're paying.
OpenBSD has been the model for opensource software release engineering. Their presentations on managing their releases are always worth a look. In 2013 regular quality releases are quite common, but OpenBSD has been releasing on schedule from the time of Debian's four year release cycle.
I like Path.

They are showing the world what could happen if your data lands in the wrong hands. I hope people now become more aware of privacy and security issues thanks to Path. Tell me which other company is directly working for this cause? FB and Google keep telling that they won't use our date for bad purposes. Path is showing what can be done with the data they already have.

So this is why I like Path. They are setting an example of what bad companies can do.

Ever since Oracle has taken hold of MySQL (I was at Oracle at the time, and saw their goals firsthand), they have been trying to extract as much money as possible from anyone using the database in a commercial way. Just the mention of MySQL strikes fear in the heart of any executive who has had any interaction with the mob that is the Oracle money extraction machine.

The sooner we all can move on and keep from using MySQL, the better, and good riddance to it and the red horse it unfortunately rides in on.

This has been explained before. Google+ numbers can be misleading because they're tied to other services. The article mentions this:

"The reasons behind Google Plus's growth -- it now can boast 359 million active users, up 33 percent from 269 million users at the end of June 2012, according to GlobalWebIndex -- are complex and tied to Google's effort to build a connecting layer across all its services, including search, YouTube, maps and other products. Log into one, and you've logged into the lot."
... that has no active users.

On the contrary to your contrary: the kind of person who builds their PC is the kind who customizes how it works when they're using it. There's no automatic assumption that they also harbor green feelings and want lower power consumption for idle/sleep.

Hell, many are proud of their beefy 1kW+ power supplies and the ridiculous power load they draw.

Others are proud of their energy-destroying bit-coin mining setups.

You certainly can't assume that the home builder cares at all about power consumption.
It should be noted that LightWorks is a professional grade tool that has been in development for a long time. It has a lot of features that are shared with some pretty expensive high end packages and has innovated several common features that are standard among packages now days.
I'm not sure recently this came about, but Homebrew can do this via "bottles" (precompiled package binaries). Not all packages are bottled, but a lot of the popular ones are. [1]
