Good Audience (Techstars London 2014) — London/San Francisco — Full-time/Intern/Remote

About us:

We're a couple of hackers (ex Google/Yahoo, yes we have death matches) that started this company by accident while selling t-shirts. Having a need to find people to buy our designs, we turned to social media. It ended up being a great customer acquisition channel. We turned that into a service that can be used by startups and small businesses.

About you:

You love growth hacking, working your way around system limits, analyzing social media data, jamming out to your favorite tunes, and hugs (lots of hugs.) Oh, you probably should be a product designer (visual/ux) or a developer (iOS/Android/Rails)

What a typical day looks like:

Hanging out with DJs and musicians that come by for customer development. Startups come by too, but it's much more fun having impromptu dance parties with emerging artists ;) You'll probably dance while you code too. We love life and enjoy every moment of it. Our company motto: We live to fight another day!

How to apply:

You'll figure out a way to find me or http://www.goodaudience.com/contact
Mind? Blown. I had no idea that happened — it sounds almost Lamarckian.
"experts in renewable energy."

In a country like India, there is a huge problem to solve when it comes to basic necessity like Electricity for everyone. Specially in smaller towns and villages. Since you mentioned renewable energy, I am sure there is a huge potential there.

The problem is that the electricity grids (or transformers) are just not enough for everyone. So in many small towns/villages, they do something called "load shedding" and power cuts are frequent even if there is electricity available. Hardly there are areas where there are no transformers or grid but most of the times, they are not functional or just badly managed.

Find a way to create enough energy AND then channel it efficiently as well. You have a winner right there.

"Computer Organization and Design, Fourth Edition: The Hardware/Software Interface" is an excellent read that complements this article.
Just wanted to comment to add that your AutoComplete video under Features is missing.
X for the bourgeoisie sounds like an interesting way to notice new startup ideas.
Also agreed here. I find it really misleading that the "try now" button is in fact "sign up" which needs to include my "real name"? No thanks.

I find it interesting that companies still try to pull this stuff off even after discussions like yesterday's on here about LinkedIn's dark patterns usage habits.
Would love to hear more about how you use OmniFocus. I have started and stopped using it more times than I can count, but am trying it again. Hopefully there won't be any more stops.
What about an internet connection?
If the controller on the SSD was working properly those writes were distributed evenly over the flash.
I hadn't considered Racket nor Scala. The first I'd heard of Racket was while reading about Arc. Thank you very much for the suggestions, and for the links to get started.

It's off topic from my original question, but what's your opinion of Arc? Is it a good idea to try to learn it as my first FP/Lisp language, or learn another first and explore Arc afterward?
Ask HN: What are the most linked-to sites from HN?
Has anyone looked into the sites that are most linked-to from HN?

I'm also curious about the ones that are most popular (some combination of number of times submitted and avg # of upvotes).

Another thing I'm wondering about is if there is a significant impact on popularity of a submission if it isn't mobile-optimized.

Couldn't find anything about this through searching...
Whatever works for writers...

In the 90s early 2000s I knew a couple who were pretty set on their Commodore 64/printer setup, one had a particular daisywheel printer she liked and asked me a couple times to help look for parts.

From reading many writers don’t like to change their writing medium, it could break their "flow" having to deal with new things to handle other than putting the right words out.

So even today, if a writer gets into their zone while plying on a 50s manual typewriter, there’s a good chance that typewriter will be under their hands for the rest of their career.
>Google's internal web based IDE is awesome, as is the Haskell FPComplete.com IDE. Good luck competing with these IDEs.

Well, if it's "internal" it's no competition, and if it's for Haskell, again it's not much of a competition either.

Slant - Palo Alto, CA [Remote possible]

- Who we are:

Slant helps people discover what products/services are best for them. We’re trying to take all the knowledge needed to make an informed decision, typically buried in reviews, forums, and blogs, and make it quick and easy to digest. By making it simpler to access trustworthy and useful information, we hope to help make the world just a little more informed.

We’re currently a small team of three: two experienced developers and a “non-technical” founder whose last job was building satellites for NASA.

A major revision to the current product is in the works, but you can see a live version here: www.slant.co. Some info on our investors/advisors: https://angel.co/slant

- Our tech

Backbone-based front-end, with improvements to allow it to run on both client- and server- side, and as both a single- and multi- page app. RESTful backend written in functional Coffeescript on Node.js, with a temporal postgres database that allows for rewinding to a previous state. The codebase is written in Coffeescript, Jade, and Stylus. Entertaining git history. Gratuitous use of Monads.

- What we're looking for

We're a multidisciplinary team, so we'd love to hear from full-stack/frontend/backend engineers as well as designers familiar with html/css. We're optimizing more for hiring someone talented, rather than for a specific role. If you’re interested in learning more, email me at stuart@slant.co
As a half-way step, they could aggregate and normalize the various stupid rules that sites impose and then automatically generate valid, maximally secure passwords by default.

ENGINEERING POSITIONS

We have two types of engineering positions available - systems and product.

Systems engineers build and scale our infrastructure, and write mostly C, C++, and Python. These are the people working on our custom datastore. This position requires at least 2 years of experience writing systems software. Solid C experience is a plus.

Product engineers are full-stack developers who build the parts people interact with - reporting interfaces, APIs, dataviz stuff, and more - and write mostly Python, JS, and Less. This position requires at least 2 years of software engineering experience, no specialization required. Solid JS experience is a plus though.

The engineering team is still small (11), and there's a lot of interesting stuff to do. Happy to talk details.

If you are interested, drop me a line - tim@mixpanel.com.
Is there a list of design flaw fixes?
I have used C9 and Nitrous (paid for both for a while) but I found that compiling any JVM based language causes these to choke quite a bit. I tested the free version of Codio right now and it started up the JVM + Compiler faster than C9 and Nitrous. Alas that isn't saying much. Testing with a minute ClojureScript project it still took 108.415 seconds for just the initial warmup (which is largely the JVM)

I know these are low resource boxes, but none of the collaborative web IDEs that I have tried even have an upgradeable package to get some more kick out of the box. I am not excited to pay more, but if I can get regular Linux box (even the five dollar digital ocean plan beats this out of the water time wise) compile speeds I would finally be able to stick to using one of these.

I know I can ssh in and run the code on my own server, but that adds an extra step with these IDEs.

Another reason is that I am trying to set up one of these services as a teaching tool, allowing people to view the code live without collaborating directly. C9 (and in some ways Nitrous) is fairly well equipped for this use case, are there any plans for Codio to look into more robust support for a many viewers -> single editor model?
Just curious, is it possible to vectorize your MATLAB implementation? In your test code you don't use the loop index in the calcs, so that makes it hard for me to tell if it is or is not possible to vectorize it for your actual application.
SEEKING WORK: Bremen, Germany or remote

My main focus had been machine learning for last years. I still have a few XML::Edifact customers for semi passive income. I dislike monolithic code, but prefer to divide a problem and pick a language that fits best for each part. I'm running two own clouds for shoutcast streaming and number crunching and often work in DevOps admin position, when I realize that my customer has no real admin of good skill.

See: http://kephra.de/dox/Resume.html
and http://kephra.de/dox/Stundensaetze.html
quite a strange take, IMO. i guess you could just as easily claim "Support for over 60 languages out of the box" by integrating Codemirror [1], though i would consider this to be quite disingenuous.

without singing up, it's hard to say how much is there, but autocomplete, some form of function & class list and a syntax checker / linter would be a minimum to claim any form of language support in the context of an IDE.

I couldn't agree more. Well, almost. I'm still not convinced of the value of a $5 vps, is that primarily to have a production like test environment?

Generalizing this, I have 16gb RAM, an SSD, and a plenty of CPU horsepower. What benefit does running my development work in the cloud provide? In the past folks argued that it simplify's environment setup, but for that we have things like chef or ansible. So, someone please how do browser based editors make my life better?

I think it would be better if applications could provide their own encryption. Applications know better how to cryptographically protect content. For instance: we use GPGMail for our email at Matasano. The operating system could not do a better job of encrypting email messages than GPGMail does.

I understand your point. "Encrypt at the highest layer you can" is an ideal, and achieving the ideal is not always worth the expense. Some lowest-common-denominator crypto in the OS is valuable. But disk block crypto is a pretty crappy lowest common denominator, as this article is at pains to say. What part of it do you disagree with?

I'm no expert, but each user can create an xpra session, which they can connect to remotely by ssh. You just need to install it and provide ssh access. I don't know whether other options might work.

x2go might be an alternative, where you connect to get a complete desktop.
Those are actually hard to implement. It's like programming languages: everyone likes to design them, but nobody likes to implement the tools for them.
I coined the term "applications that you use at the coffee machine" a while ago for long-running stuff (simulations, compilations, NP-complete stuff like routing or model checking). It's basically paying engineers to do nothing.
12 Small Web Frameworks For Ruby Developers
Rocket engines is what they're buying in this instance (or rather, what ULA has been prevented from buying by the injunction): specifically, RD-180 engines, built by the Russian firm NPO Energomash for use on the first stage of United Launch Alliance's (otherwise) American Atlas V.

(BTW, quite a few of the rocket makers you named buy their engines from others. ULA also buys engines from Pratt and Whitney, and Orbital has several suppliers for its various launchers.)

The larger suit does concern a block purchase of whole rockets from ULA, but the injunction does not interfere with the block buy, just payments to the Russian subcontractor.

It's not sexy whatsoever by SV standards (consumer/mobile/food delivery?!), but it is a credible challenge to an industry that has not changed since its inception in the 1890s, and empowers one of the largest sectors of the US economy (7.3% of US GDP).

Automattic (WordPress.com) - Planet Earth - Remote

We're always hiring for many positions. Personally I want us to have more Data Wranglers: http://automattic.com/work-with-us/data-wrangler/

We have an immense amount of data and users (1 billion people per month), and we're building out better systems for analyzing and understanding that data. Elasticsearch, Hadoop, Kafka, Storm. We're strongly biased towards open source, and contributing is strongly encouraged.

Help us build the infrastructure that will power us through the next decade. Make the web a better place.
So in a nutshell, they are:

-- Removing the check-in feature from the Foursquare app and putting into a separate app called Swarm.

-- Making Foursquare 100% about exploring and recommendations, a la Yelp.

This seems like a bizarre move. Unless I'm mistaken, all of their data comes FROM check-ins. People write tips, answer questions ("Is this place good for kids?") and generally contribute their info to the web of data that Foursquare uses to intelligently recommend venues. Couple that with the network effect of having access to friends' check-ins, which to me is probably the strongest signal of a particular venue's quality.

So all that being said, it seems like receiving a high volume of check-ins is critical to Foursquare's recommendation success. They don't have the broad review base of Yelp or an editorial team, so check-ins are all they have. By splitting this functionality into a separate app (outside of the Foursquare app itself), they are explicitly going to lower check-in volume, because SOME percentage of people simply won't download "Swarm". And then if they lose some of their user base, it decreases the utility for all Foursquare users as (a) the recommendation data won't be as solid, and (b) users will lose valuable friend check-in data.

Maybe I'm overplaying the slippery-slope angle, but when your business largely relies on a particular user action (check-ins, in this case), it seems unwise to split that functionality outside of your core product in a move that will unquestionably make taking that action more difficult.
