* Junior Engineer / Growth Hacker seeks interesting London Startup *

Location: London, UK / Relocation - Full Time

I'm a young 'technical generalist', looking for an exciting opportunity to make a difference to a startup in London, whether that's in an engineering or growth role. I love to learn, whether that's exploring a new Gem, analysing and optimising a key metric, or wrangling some code from an idea into existence.

I have spent the last 6 months 'deep-diving' in Ruby on Rails, learning to work with APIs, write well organized test-driven code, use front end frameworks, and deploy on cloud services (Heroku, AWS.)

Concurrently, I have been building two project businesses - a traybake subscription service, and a press release service to connect startups with journalists.

Enabling awesome things to grow is what gets me out of bed in the morning.
It's the title that's twisted. Of course the path gas => food => human => transport is less efficient that gas => engine => transport. That is kind of the point why cars exist!!
Great, another start up trying to ruin the pleasure of a tasty balanced breakfast.
You can do the same with Redis. Regardless of the fact you can simply hang a Redis slave and work on that; Redis has a *SCAN commands that can incrementally iterate over your entire keyspace or keys of any Redis collection (hashes, sets, etc).
Any plans to integrate API blueprints?
It's true, to some degree they should be worried. However, I'm not sure how much they actually have to fear.

While I do like the new Continuity features (and I'm somewhat of a cloud skeptic), I don't see myself sharing files over iCloud with my friends anytime soon.

Another thing that strikes me is, while I do use Dropbox a lot to sync across my devices, and those devices are almost always Macs, I'm also a toxic Dropbox user. Dropbox should not want to keep me as a "customer": I'm on the free plan, totally maxed out storage space by taking part in every conceivable promo, relatively high bandwidth usage, across a lot of devices. There is no possible reason for Dropbox to want me continue using them.
I didn't get the point of Alfred until I tried it out. Now it feels weird to work on a machine that _doesn't_ have it installed. The workflows and the ability to (easily) add your own are what make it so great. I use this workflow dozens of times every day: https://github.com/2shortplanks/alfred-metacpan
>A single machine will have substantially less risk of breaking down than a complex setup.

Being pretty disingenuous here.

Single machine breaking down means an outage. Complex system breaking down means no outage. Again if you are running a toy site then sure go with the single machine.

And redundancy is very easy to get right if you are using something like AWS or even DigitalOcean. Provider based load balancer + App Tier + Multi Master database like Cassandra.
Naww I'm the idiot who pities creators too much to install ad block or heaven forbid tries to open an attachment. Or browse a facebook photo gallery, upload photos, or use google maps without the patience of a buddha.

It doesn't help that tourist websites are poorly optimized and are unusable at very slow speeds.
Yeah, we wanted to minimize the caffeine dose because we don't want to mess with people's caffeine tolerance. Big coffee drinkers (3+ cups a day) who've helped us 'beta test' this were pleasantly surprised by how much alertness they derived from our product.
Transit systems, on average, are only mildly greener than cars. City buses, in fact, use the same energy per passenger mile as typical cars. Light rail is sometimes 2 and rarely even 3 times better than cars, but in some cities like San Jose, it uses almost twice as much energy per actual passenger than passenger cars do..

This would be true if buses and light rail all ran on gasoline, but many don't. In Vancouver, the light rail system is entirely electric, as are about 1/3 of the buses.
The new texting suggestions in QuickType are awesome (if it works as suggested).
I think it is legitimate to consider the incremental impacts of the choices we make, the starting line for those choices is what exists today.

Trying to do it within a clear context is a good idea though.

Well, the idea was sort of those typical 'startup idea' tropes where it was a pain in the ass to make capsules... so why not abstract that away as a service!
The FAQ links to abstracts. Have you read the full papers or just the abstracts?

The title bar is fixed. This is not a pleasant experience on iOS.

The site is nice! Text was clean and readable.

Good Luck!
I was originally thinking along the lines of hillclimbing jeeps. But imagine a treaded vehicle that could automatically level and pave a road. There are these things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkVBg_-OviI and these things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZMPoHahaj8 but they all look like they're running on ground that has already been cleared and leveled. It would be really interesting to see something that could dig through ground and rock like a tunnel digging machine and compresses the material into tile blocks to use as pavers.
“Sway” Trained Sinus Activated Neural Networks
Very nice! This is actually better than a "jsfiddle for everything", as it has tagged and searchable snippets.
How about you prove that they are harmful? I'm happy to assume that some research was done, and that a handful of peer-reviewed studies suggest these nutrients have some positive effects (or at the very least are neutral and customers are paying for a placebo. That's okay too.)
Saying "prove there's no harm" is like saying "prove pencils don't give people headaches" or "prove God doesn't exist."

If you're on a mission to prove something, maybe start by refuting the information put into the FAQ regarding safety or the various studies that have been linked.
Check out http://bower.io/ :

> Bower is a package manager for the web. It offers a generic, unopinionated solution to the problem of front-end package management, while exposing the package dependency model via an API that can be consumed by a more opinionated build stack.

rails-assets is an example of a higher-level, more opinionated stack that adds value on top of bower.

Apple announces iOS 8 at WWDC
I have a friend who is dating two women, neither of which who knows about the existence of the other. If he was to tell each woman, please update your Facebook privacy settings to keep our friendship a secret, they would rightly be suspicious. If them finding out about each other results in injury or death to him, it's not Facebook's fault.

From the example:

Size range

Why does the range skip from 0-49 to 600-649? I'm not sure I get this.
What do you mean with availability?
If you're new to alfred and are looking for some suggestions on workflows for developers I put together a pretty in-depth blog post on it (and my other developer tools) over on my blog here.

I've had it installed for a while but never got beyond using it as an application launcher. Do you have any tutorials you'd recommend for getting into the advanced uses?
I had a startup experience experience rapid growth. Guess how long it took me to add capacity: minutes with zero outage. Basic redundancy is not some scary, impossible monster to implement. It is the standard.

I'm surprised I haven't seen anything being said about reproducability advantages of docker.

Docker images are always reproducable through their Dockerfile's. While virtual 'appliances/images/snapshots' are - if at all - much harder to reproduce.
The Federal Circuit fundamentally misunderstands method patent infringement
small (permanent) war rooms for workgroups and private offices for management/shared offices for drones (2-3/office) is a great setup, imho.

I worked at a place that did big war rooms per project and had tons of empty "home" cubes where you went for an hour or two per day to do non-primary work. I think a fixed-time system in the groups would be best.
Electrical cars/buses may be less green than gas vehicles since electricity may come from a very "dirty" source. For example in the US more than 1/3 of the energy comes from coal power plants, which surely have caused more cancer deaths than all nuclear accidents put together [citation needed]

It is unfortunate that OPs name contains "woo" - a common term in sceptic community to describe things that are bunk.

However, OPs site does contain links to abstracts for the extracts they're using, and OPs site seems to be calmer than similar nootropic websites.
I too asked myself when starting Python about 2 months ago. I initially started with Python 3.4, then I started experimenting with some code recipes on ActiveState. Then i realized i would need v 2.7 for most of what I was interested in website analysis - Twisted.
So now I am torn between the 2, these days because my coding is simple all I have to look for is if I need or don't need a '()' in my print statements. I am glad i am not at the level where I need to worry about how 'bytes' are handled.
I do hope this 3 vs. 2 thing gets resolved quickly, I really like the simplicity of Python but for beginners this battle is off-putting

LIMELIGHT NETWORKS, INC. v. AKAMAI TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

JUSTICE ALITO: The Federal Circuit’s analysis fundamentally misunderstands what it means to infringe a method patent. A method patent claims a number of steps; under this Court’s case law, the patent is not infringed unless all the steps are carried out.

Ruling was unanimous.
Can we stop pretending open offices are about anything more than spending a minimum on an office construction? Let's face it: it's much cheaper to convert an empty warehouse space into a office space than to buy or build a traditional one.
It's trivial to upgrade from 2.7 to 3, you can pick based on the availability of the libraries you plan to use. If all you need has been ported to 3 just go with it, otherwise you can use 2.7 and make your code future-proof by importing some things from __future__ (the print function, unicode literals, etc.).
Which countries are you talking of, may I ask?

I am finishing up my PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Illinois Urbana Champaign and will be graduating this summer.

I have strong theoretical and mathematical foundations. In grad school, I have been working on optimal resource allocation algorithms for cloud computing and networks. I have strong background in Stochastic Processes, Optimization, Algorithms and Queueing Theory. I have done a wide variety of courses in ECE, CS and Maths including a few courses and projects in Machine learning.

Resume: https://medium.com/@jeremyx/hire-me-a9d77fee3f1e

Contact: jeremyx@gmail.com

15 years experience coding mostly full-stack web apps. Some native C/C++ with QT framework and SQLite. I am the type of engineer who can pick up new languages and frameworks and quickly come up to speed. My passion is working on software that genuinely helps people and is delightful to use.

In my job search, I am optimizing for a good cultural fit. I enjoy working on challenging problems, but more so I love working with smart people who want to do quality work and care about the details. I understand the balance between ideal code and getting software shipped. I like working within a development process that facilitates a tight feedback loop of developing new features and getting feedback. Call it agile, call it whatever.
I think you mean "Aero" on Vista.

I'm not a fan of the flat design personally, but the redesign is pretty sharp. I like the minimal safari UI; its nice when the browser lets the webpage be main focus and I think it is something Safari does best.
I have some history working with the Adverse Event Reporting data. The API is nice, but it just exposes what they already offer in flat files .... stale data. Does it seem reasonable to you that the FDA runs a year behind on this data?

We did pretty extensive academic review on the ingredients and consulted folks at Stanford. We wouldn't want to ingest stuff that would mess ourselves up!

The above is an incomprehensible collection of words to me. I am not sure if this is because of my lack of an intimate connection to Apple products, terrible writing or some combination of the two.

Even at this low level, the analysis is false. Walking consumes no gas. This is why you cannot arbitrarily pick an incongruent levels of abstraction. The entire premis of gas_equivalent_calories is flawed, then, unless we take steps to apply it correctly.
It also assumes that walkers and drivers cover the same distance. I don't think that's remotely true. For example I know people who think nothing of driving ten or more miles in order to buy groceries from the trendy grocery store (often, ironically enough, a Whole Foods) instead of the one that's less than a mile from home. Same for bars and restaurants.
Just look through their forum that is dedicated to sharing Workflows. It makes certain things much more convenient. http://www.alfredforum.com/forum/3-share-your-workflows/
I honestly don't understand this design direction. I know it's nice to have a change but from the few screens I have seen on the Verge it looks like something that came from one of those "I redesigned OS X" blog posts.
The reductio ad absurdum does not work here. You are advocating (or at least facilitating) that people put things into the their bodies, in the manner of pharmaceuticals, that would not otherwise go there. The responsibility is on you to prove it's ok. "First do no harm" -- this has been the credo of western medicine since 400 BC.

You want people to ingest these substances without knowing the cost. Unethical.
There are a large number of people in history with even greater achievements than heroku who have not succumbed to these extreme levels of narcissism.
It certainly depends on where you are. In Seattle, we get 90% of our power from hydroelectric, and almost all of the remaining 10% from either nuclear or wind. I wonder what the comparison between cities with electric transportation services and without, and their respective power supplies would show.

Intel graphics has always lagged behind Nvidia and ATI in terms of performance and efficiency for the longest time,despite having a large budget. One of the reasons that the Intel graphics has been able to make spectacular gains in performance and efficiency year over year recently is because of how bad their gpu was. You'll never see those kinds of gains from highly optimized chips.

So is the new naming scheme after national parks, or Warner Brothers cartoon characters? Will the next one be Yellowstone, or Sylvester?

I suppose it would be tacky to name the next release "Bugs".
Haha yeah I get it, and think it's a good idea. I just thought it was ironic that you'll be making even more capsules now that you're starting a service to help other people with the issue.
I had an immediate reaction in the back of my mind to the words 'high probability' and was halfway ready to formulate a comment questioning it when I promptly remembered having someone try to mug me on two separate occasions growing up.. The things one can forget..

I'd assume, without further information, that the random samples the script grabbed didn't have any sizes in range 50-599 inclusive. While that seems a bit odd, it doesn't seem impossible to me.

Does anyone have a reliable cite for this please? It feels a bit high. Does it include children and old people?
It sounds like your only conception of what a walkable city could possibly be is New York City circa the 1980s. Even New York isn't like that anymore, and various European cities offer a wide range of examples too.
What a lot of other posts are getting at is that this sounds like a cool challenge, but that it doesn't exactly solve a pain point for anyone. No one is thinking, Man do I need a robot to pour a bath for me when I come home, but only if I haven't showered that morning!

There is nothing wrong with solutions looking for problems: there are a zillion of them on store shelves right now. But this means that 1) you'll have to overcome an education barrier to convince people why they NEED your product, and 2) you'll be able to get much less insight about whether anyone will buy your idea.

These sorts of ideas could be bad for a new startup. It's easier to build and sell something like this if you have a larger R&D budget, a large marketing budget, or a large reach so that you can get it in front of potential buyers.
With Apple's new release of OSX Yosemite and iOS 8. Specifically for this release, do you view these UI changes as innovation.
It might be solar powered.
Swiftkey already learns quite well. For example, I often type "Hey what's going on?" and it has now learned that if I type "Hey" it should suggest "what's" and so on, so in 4 taps I have the whole sentence.

What it doesn't have, is the context-aware switching. That is something really neat about the new keyboard. Switching context from a meeting being "postponed" to "boring" is great.
It is innovative in the sense that it is still a work in progress, unlike many meal replacement shakes.

I currently have no preference with industries or company size. Feel free to contact me.
Too bad the new Spotlight doesn't have a clipboard manager as well. That's the main reason I paid for the Alfred powerpack.
True. In Vancouver we're almost 100% hydroelectric.
I wish Apple would spend their resources on finally fixing some of the most broken fundamentals (photo sync, notifications, finder...), rather than letting Ive further trash the GUI and celebrating that as some sort of accomplishment...
what would happen to some things that aren't people, like a flag?
That does seem to be a bit of a jumble. I think what they're trying to convey is that although it uses flat design like iOS 7, on the desktop it has a feeling of depth due to the layering of translucent UI elements.

Maybe.

I assume you meant to write `object.left + object.right` instead of `a` and `b`, to match the type signature.
Soylent's an inspiration but I think it's overly harsh to say we're just copping their style. The design patterns were using are pretty common!
It might be. There are two different style options for it right now, aren't there?

[edit] That's not a rhetorical question; I'm not at home with my mac so I don't know for sure.
Safari looks similar to GNOME Web[1]. Not that this would be bad, I think it's a great UI.
