ExtraHop Networks (Seattle) -- Fast growing startup with small team, hard problems, work ranging from systems programming to elegant visualization (Angular and D3 based frameworks). If you love C, Python, JS, Go, V8 then we would love to talk to you.

Here is what you get at ExtraHop.

-- The team is amazing and everyone makes a difference.

-- Engineering is the DNA of the company. The two founders, Jesse and Raja, designed and built BigIP v9 when they were at F5 Networks before founding ExtraHop, and are still very much involved in development.

-- Hard problems at all levels. We parse network stream at line rate (20Gbps) by writing high-performance multithreaded C and our own linux kernel drivers. Our datastore handles 200,000 inserts a second with 10MB/s of data.

-- We have powerful visualization thats based on Angular, and D3 framework.

-- You can hack anything from C to the front-end design and anywhere in between.

-- Our customers love it. It's awesome to see problems diagnosed and solved with our box.

SEEKING WORK - REMOTE or EU

We are two SW developers with a passion for our craft, performance and algorithms. Martin has a PhD in data structures, Dan has a plenty of experience from large system integration projects.

How can we help your business? We can bring the most value if we focus together on performance and reliability. Better performance means lower costs of HW, faster application for your users or you to get that important report in minutes and not in hours or even days.

We can also build an MVP or application, help you with architecture, review both code and design, find bottlenecks and propose optimisations.

Our skills: Linux, Unix, C, C++, Oracle PL/SQL, Scheme, Perl, JS, Clojure and ClojureScript. Technologies we would like to use more: Clojure, React.js and Om, Erlang or data science.

You can hire us either individually or as a team. We have already worked together remotely for a San Jose company (C, kernel and userspace for a Linux based device).

Do you mean strictly for bookmarks?

I'm not sure how feasible this is, having never looked into it, but I can certainly pass this along as an idea if you can confirm the request for only bookmarks. Again, no promises because it might be locked down pretty heavily.

I would love to so Varnish in here for some of the tests.

For a typically webpage with multiple queries there appears to be around 5-10x performance disadvantage between slow and fast languages.Things like serving a plaintext or json response, where the slow languages are much much slower, Varnish is a good match for.

The #1 thing you need to make Java usable is to abandon the JavaBean conventions. When every field requires 8 lines of boilerplate it's no wonder the code looks ugly (YAGNI, and if you do need it it's two keystrokes in your IDE to "encapsulate field"). public final fields are fine, and can get your data classes something close to readable.

I'd stick with maven for the build rather than Gradle; it's completely declarative and all the tools understand it. Learning a new language just to configure your build tool seems excessive.

We're an eyewear company looking for engineers to help architect and build our API, which powers eyeglass orders for fashion brands. We are also looking for people to help us build our whitelabel eyewear software, and iterate on new UX features.

Our stack is Python (Flask) and MongoDB [1]. Including bits of Celery, nginx, and uwsgi. We do a lot of integration with the UPS (in fact, we maintain an open-source UPS library [2]).

We're building our API and internal dashboards (which we use heavily to process orders, eyewear prescriptions, customer information, gift cards, etc.) We white-label eyewear for other fashion brands; Classic Specs and Steven Alan are some of our brands.

Woah, I didn't know Desk runs on Ruby on Rails. I would love to chat about your infrastructure and general development process (I run a teeny weeny customer service platform and would love insights from the big boys).
I don't think de-industrialization took us to war in Iraq (and fucked up a war in Afghanistan), nor did it push through corn ethanol subsidies for years, nor did it nearly take us to war in Syria, nor did it cause hypertrophy of the national security state (especially post 9/11 NSA and "killer" form of the CIA).
I'm pushing and anxious because this is exactly the sort of problem that could negatively impact the entire campaign, and I think there is worth to the goal. I hope they take a strong stance and fix it quickly rather than trying to placate and coast to a fix.
I'm more upset with the electorate for having under-informed or unexamined political opinions.

This is unavoidable. Your vote doesn't matter - the probability of it altering the outcome are infinitesimally (read: too small to represent with a double) small.

Unless you derive entertainment value from informing yourself, why would you waste any time on informing yourself or thinking carefully?

Really appreciate the insight, this is what I have found as well. Especially using intellij, it's still hard to beat. I'm always on the look out to use new stuff, but I'd rather wait a bit..

If I go hybrid JVM, I will likely just use SBT instead.. I think I'll keep an eye on gradle and see if it matures though.

One of the reasons I still use maven is like what you mentioned: the tooling, I don't find myself using xml most of the time (despite knowing it like the back of my hand anyways)
This seems risky, but interesting. If the core foursquare app becomes focused on location discovery and exploration, they instantly become the most viable mobile competitor to Yelp, which is something I (and I think many people) would be interested in.

They're recognizing that the location browsing/discovery UX is fundamentally different than their social UX, and de-coupling them, while presumably using the same infrastructure under the hood. Hopefully, this will allow UI/UX development that diverges and serves each user group better.

I want a better, more usable location database on my phone, I would use it all the time. Yelp is unfortunately the default, I think because through crowd-sourcing data validation, they just have the most accurate listing of addresses, phone numbers, business hours, etc. But after that, Yelp is social features I don't care for, review writing that make me sad about humanity, and very likely bully-esque business practices (but I do like the pictures). Foursquare has the second best location DB that I've used, but historically the app has been more aggressive about pushing it's social features, which I do not want. So, I am curious and cautiously optimistic.

From the comments, it seems like what may be missing is the ability to check-in via the core foursquare app. This would be a problem if the life-tracking-but-not-social subset of users is as high as the comments suggest, but also may not be a problem if the "I was here" feature still exists in the core app and just has been messaged incorrectly.
Sure, I'll contribute some Perl. :)

Readers should definitely evaluate the complexity of the code necessary to implement the tests. To that end, I plan to eventually enhance the results web site to allow you to readily view the related source for each test implementation (perhaps using an iframe pointing at GitHub).

For the very first round, we included the relevant code snippets in the blog entry, and I think that added a lot to the context. With nearly 100 frameworks, the volume of code has become too large to simply embed all of that code directly into the blog entry, but we've put too much burden on the reader to sift through the GitHub repo to compare code complexity.

Things we aim to do:

* Pop-up iframe with relevant code from GitHub.

* Use a source lines of code (sloc) counter to render sloc alongside each result in the charts.

* Render the number of GitHub commits each test implementation has seen at our repository. At the very least, this would show whether a test has seen a lot of review.

* Introduce more complex test types [1].

And as the other reply has mentioned, we have also discussed the possibility of a larger test type that might include a multi-step process. I'd love to eventually get to that point.

Correct me, Build engine is 2.5D. Isn't it?
Not a single mention of Guice or even dependency injection?

Seems like a gaping omission in a guide that claims to be about "modern" Java.
It depends. If the data is coming from a pipe (like core_pattern) then yes you have to check for runs of zeroes. If it's coming from a filesystem, then there are various system calls that let you skip them (specifically SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA flags of lseek(2)).

Also if the data is being copied into userspace anyway, then it's quite fast to check that memory is zero. There's no C "primitive" for this, but all C compilers can turn a simple loop into relatively efficient assembler[1].

If you're using an API that never copies the data into userspace and you have to read from a pipe, then yes sparse detection will be much more expensive.

In either case it should save disk space for core files which are highly sparse.

Because this is HN I can say "It's both!" and, hopefully, people won't bat an eye at that.

But let's talk about where you're spot on. Lessig sucks at rhetoric. Most liberals do. It's the one point where I feel shame at being a liberal.

If you take a look at his blog post, it's all about money. The only words that talk about the problem are "fundamental change." And while "change" can work as a rhetorical grounding, it is overplayed, and he's not using it well.

No he needs to demonize the opposition and create a sense of unity in his community of supporters. To one degree or another this is how all political change happens.

Here's what I'd do.

Buying our Freedom.

Abraham Lincoln, when faced with the impossible evil of Slavery, sought not war, but peace. He sought to buy the freedom of slaves, to pay fair for the freedom of men. Today we are faced with the equally impossible evil of democracy bought and sold in the halls of washington. Corporations hold enslaved our senators and congressmen and they do it through money. Campaign contributions, superpacs, the corruption of greed grips our government, and government for the people has become degrading servitude to big money.

Lincoln and the good people who believed in freedom and unity for this country were eventually forced into war, but first there was the attempt at reason, at working with those who purchased and survived on evil. Today we are on the same path. The evil of money entwined with politics cannot stand. It divides this nation into have's and have nots. It deprives the average man of his vote and gives it to the rich man. History will judge the evil of this time as a sad chapter in American history, just as we judge the period of slavery, but before History can pass judgment we must act.

Today we will attempt reason, and the language the corrupt understand. We will raise money. We will spend money. And we will do this in defense of democracy, not to control it, but to free it, and give it back to the people.

The men and women in washington do not want to be slaves to big money. No one does. But they have no champions, they have no defense. We will be their champions and we will rise up to protect them. We will raise money, and we spend money as a hammer large enough to smash their chains.

In the next month we will raise such money and spend such money as to show "big" money where power in America really lies. It is in the hands of the people, and the hands of the people are reaching out to take their government back.

In one month we will raise $1 million dollars. Donate now to show them. In 5 months we will raise $5 million dollars. Donate now to free our democracy. And in two years we will raise an army of dollars such that Congress can once and for all throw off its chains. We will buy our freedom, we will have our freedom, or, if forced to it by greed of rich men, we will fight.

Donate now.
