Casetext (YC S13) is looking for a front-end engineer
We are looking for a front-end engineer with design talent to help us rethink the way that people read, understand, and annotate texts.

Your mission will be to iterate quickly on Casetext's client side. (To see a sneak-peak of the product, go to http://beta.casetext.com. If prompted, the login and password are “casetext.”) We’re constantly parsing feedback from our users about how to improve their experience, and you'll be working with us to answer their needs.

We aren't looking for experience with a particular set of languages. Instead, you should be comfortable collaborating with other engineers on a diverse software architecture. Our front-end is a single-page AngularJS application written with Jade and Less.js that uses Firebase, a cutting-edge real-time datastore, to make the site incredibly fast and responsive. Our back-end stack includes ElasticSearch, NodeJS, Go, and Python.

We value people who are excited to learn new things. You should be able (and excited) to learn new languages relatively quickly and improve the quality of your code as you go. Giving and receiving feedback is part of the team culture.

You will have opportunities to blog about your work, attend conferences, publish papers, and open source large parts of the code you work on at the company.

ABOUT CASETEXT

Casetext's mission is to make all the world's laws free and understandable. We have amassed an enormous database of legal texts, starting with over two million U.S. judicial opinions. A community of law professors, lawyers, law students, and citizens are adding insight and explanations.

Casetext is disrupting an $8 billion legal research market currently controlled by a duopoly (Westlaw and LexisNexis) that has barricaded quality legal information behind a paywall.

This is an opportunity to be a very early employee at a rising start-up, take on a lot of responsibility, and play a substantial role in the future of the company. We are extremely selective with who we hire, but we make sure that our early team-members are well compensated in equity, salary, benefits, and quality of work.

You’ll be working with engineers from Google and IBM, the president of the Stanford Law Review, and former practicing attorneys from Yale’s and Stanford’s law schools. We are a Y Combinator company (Summer 2013) and have raised a seed round of over $1.8 million.

PERKS

Health insurance is fully covered.
Caltrain passes are covered.
We eat lunch out together every day, covered by the company.
Free snacks and coffee at the office.

LOCATION

Casetext HQ is located in Palo Alto one street off of California Ave., just a few blocks from the Caltrain and next door to some of Palo Alto’s best restaurants.

HOW TO APPLY

E-mail us at jobs@casetext.com. Send a resume and links to examples of projects you’ve worked on. Code examples are very helpful.

Somebody commented about ASP.NET MVC having a bundler that you can just point at a directory. Seems like that would be enough to do it and you wouldn't need CommonJS or AMD.
There is an almost unfathomable difference.

I grew up "first world poor" in Appalachia and was approximately a hundred times better off than the man in that photo. I had a modest roof over my head, clothes, toys, food, utilities, a big yard, and among the best public schools in the country. My mother used food stamps at one point in the late 1980s when things were bad. Bad is a relative term.
Interesting. So what is a good podcast, from your point of view? BBC has certainly been doing content right for decades. What is different, say, with NYT or TechCrunch?

Is there a way to speed up boot time? It takes a bit less than 4 seconds on i7 to load up text file, which is way too long for a text editor.
I'm glad you posted this here. I saw it on Product Hunt but couldn't comment. I think the whole service, especially the UX, is awesome. I'm just curious if/how you're monetising this!
The Marines fly F-18s from Navy carriers, and presumably they will continue this with the F-35. The problem is that the whole program, which is the biggest military procurement program ever, to provide the principal combat aircraft for the entire U.S. military, has been totally compromised by this niche requirement of a VTOL version.

If the problem is not enough Marine firepower from the full deck carriers, the Marines should just buy more CTOL aircraft and put them on the carriers. All of the carrier air wings have been downsized since the cold war, and carriers are only going to sea with 65 or so aircraft, when they can hold 90. I'd much rather have 8 fully capable CTOL fighters on the full-deck carrier that is definitely going to be around in any amphibious landing than 8 low-performance (range and payload) VTOL fighters from an LHA/LHD.

Instead, we get a seriously compromised F-35A and C as far as I can tell because of what happened at Guadalcanal 70 years ago.
I had the same issue and was coming here to post the same thing.
"Food stamps" now are actually a debit card called an "EBT" card, at least in my state (not sure if the food stamp program is state-by-state or national), which is nice and discreet.

Wow, that is really ugly semantics. Here are some notes of mine on how hard R works to avoid exposing this sort of aliasing/mutability issue to the user: http://www.win-vector.com/blog/2014/04/you-dont-need-to-unde...
My first reaction was that the absurdity level is so high, there has to be an ulterior motive for the prosecutor here, to expose how ridiculous it is to prosecute children for normal, healthy (if potentially socially risky) sexual experimentation.

Agreed. Especially if you program in more than one language, trying to remember the subtleties of each one's collection of rules for "truthiness" is a fraught exercise. And isn't it Python people who like to say, "explicit is better than implicit"?
Yeah, I can see where one could get confused. I use a version of Source Code Pro that's been patched to work with vim-airline[0], which is why it's "for Powerline". On OS X I think you can get the font name from the "Family" column of the Fonts pane, or via Quick Look in the Finder.

Yeah, if all 10 super carriers are tied up, I'm sure we'll have plenty of resources to keep those hundred million dollar planes ready to rock.

I realize sarcasm is a poor excuse for humor, but if all ten are unavailable (because of shooting and getting shot at), i think we (the US) would have a pretty rough time getting those planes working.

If their not available because of non-war reasons, it seems like the mission isn't really that big of a deal anyway.

I sort of think the US goes for the Cadillac solution for everything. Perhaps that's my bias because i only hear about the expensive stuff. I'd sort of expect there to be a nice gradient between really super high tech, down to cheap simple and reliable. But whatever, armchair quarterback.

You are increasing the radius by 1 meter so the length of the band is now 2pi(r_e + 1) making the increment 2*pi meters. Is the surprisingly low increment the point of the problem?

Two people who want jobs need two cars in America, if the stories on HN about the state of public transport are remotely true.

It's bad enough in Germany where nearly every employer expects "mobility" (i.e. driver's license+car), and that with our quite generous mass transit. US is definitely worse.

Secure PGP Key Sync – A Proposal
These comments are pretty depressing. How many of you have ever used those government services? You are paying for them you know. This article should be encouraging. It worked. They payed in, they needed the help and got it, and now they are back on their feet.
Pinkmeth are not the defendants; Tor is.
How does this interact with the field of differential privacy?
In an infamous 2002 wargame, an American carrier and much of its fleet were destroyed by swarms of speedboats with missiles, simulating potential Iranian tactics.

Also, anti-ship ballistic missiles keep getting better. It's not clear whether the US Navy could stop the latest generation of Chinese anti-ship missiles.

In both cases, a supercarrier suffers a serious probabilistic problem: the attackers only have to get through once. The defenders need to be 100% effective. That's not realistic in a world where it's economically feasible to field thousands of cheap drones.
+1, I think a lot of people don't realize that anybody can file a lawsuit for absolutely anything at all, without it necessarily meaning anything. Just because an actual lawyer wrote it and it was properly submitted to an actual court doesn't mean that it's valid or that anything will happen. It has no meaning or validity until the court rules on it.
I tend to use names from different mythologies, so I usually end up with names like "osiris," "lorien," "cernunnos," etc. Makes for easy to remember names, and I never expect to run out of them.
Atom can't handle opening files more than 2mb in size right now. That makes it stunningly useless.

Also, the install has 11,000 files in it.

This is amateur hour.
It only wouldn't be a cheat if the question were framed as "Surprisingly, the volume of the ring is constant, regardless of the radii of the sphere and circle. What is that constant volume?" Otherwise, you don't really know your answer is correct. Maybe, they wanted the answer in terms of R1 and R2. And if you are able to trick them into confirming it, then you're essentially using social engineering to leverage somebody else's work (the person who discovered the surprising result) in formulating your answer. There's no way that the original discoverer could have used that method. That's what makes it a cheat.

Back in middle school geometry, I came up with my own strategy for proving theorems. "You wouldn't ask me to prove it if it weren't true, therefore it must be true. Q.E.D." It didn't go over well.
You can use a tuning fork, but that doesn't matter. Temperament is about the tuning relationships between notes of the scale. In equal temperament they're slightly enharmonic, ie adjusted away from ideal harmony in order to allow transposition into different keys. This doesn't sound as pretty, but it's 'equally bad' across all keys and we're used to it. If you tune strings against each other then the intervals are consonant. Your starting pitch can be rather arbitrary as long as you're not trying to match it to any other instrument. If you are trying to match to another instrument (in ancient times, a horn was the most likely candidate) then you blow a note on that and tune one string to it.

Musical key intervals are based on simple mathematical ratios, which haven't changed in the interim.
> The ones on linux operate on basically the same principle, with (usually) even less oversight. It's a public gallery that everybody can publish to, so the trust/distrust should be put on the package level, not the platform.

Just so you know, this is not true with any Linux distribution package manager that I know of. Packages and updates are always vetted by maintainers before they are available to user systems. Trust is intended to be at the distribution level; for Debian, for example, you can be confident that every package in the stable repository is fairly secure, tested software, and as long as you don't enable the non-free repo, every package is free and open source software as well.

This may or may not be true for Chocolatey, I don't know.
That is very fragile, you want to make sure your code is not that dependent on a very specific environment really.
Anyone with a big enough stick.
It isn't certain that he is in possession of anything. Which yields another question: If you receive sexually explicit photos of an underage person on Snapchat, which deletes the photos immediately after you receive them, what child pornography laws did you violate? And could you be prosecuted for it, given that you had no idea what you were about to receive before you opened them?
This is statement I take most exception to in the article. Here [1] is a ten-year-old Mercedes on Craiglist for $15K. You can run perfectly serviceable cars like a 2003 Civic for $5-7K. Even if you immediately sock away $2K into a savings account for maintenance costs, and take sales tax into account, you still landed $5K cash overnight and probably have a lower insurance payment.

Also, you would not be making payments on the car because, uh, you paid for it in cash with the money from selling the car.

I'm extrapolating from incomplete data, of course, but I feel the article's statement deserved far more analysis than the 1-sentence glossover it received.

another useful thing would be actually setting how long should a particular frame last.......
It's wonderful to see so many comments on Haskell! I began learning Haskell about a year ago. Coming from the world of C/Java/Ruby/Python, venturing into Haskell has been a phenomenal experience. While frustrating in the beginning, the payoff has been worth it. For me personally, I still wake up excited by the language & what’s left to discovery.

Aside from its technical merits, there's a certain expressive beauty and power to it. For example, I recently wanted to write a command-line version of 2048 in Haskell. Instead of being bogged down in the minutia of keeping track of array indexes and state variables, it was simply a matter of transposing lists (corresponding to board rotations). The entire game fit onto a single screen of code that reads like English (once you’re accustomed to the syntax - please don’t be scared off by that!)

I spent some time learning Clojure. From my limited experience, it’s certainly easier to get up to speed writing working programs with Clojure. The simplicity of LISP syntax is hard to beat. And the fact that it runs atop the JVM makes things like cross-platform GUI programming a breeze compared to Haskell. But while macros are powerful, it really doesn’t compare to the flexibility & composability of Haskell. Haskell provides some powerful abstractions which make building software easier, and these capabilities simply aren’t possible in other languages — check out the Tony Morris videos on monads & monad transformers for more details [1]. He also explores why these abstractions, if they’re indeed so powerful, aren’t currently more prevalent in software engineering. He’s dedicated to changing that.

LYAH is a great resource, but it can be a bit verbose at times.For those interested in diving into the language right away, I recommend checking out the University of Virginia CS 1501 Haskell lectures [2]. They start with the basics and gradually build up to more advanced concepts like functors, monoids, monads, etc. They even have a section on category theory at the end.

For a great intro to web development with Haskell, see Ryan Trinkle’s talk on creating a link shorter (using the Snap web framework with a PostgreSQL backend). [3] Live demo [4]

For a more formal CS-style introduction to Haskell, see the lectures by Prof. Dr. Jürgen Giesl. [5]

This is the essence of pure capitalism. Only when you're truly fucked up, you can expect help from others.

It's disgusting.
Yes, you need a device to test this out. You can emualte a beacon with your Mac (there's a link to the app on the blog post) and that's about it.
Poor has always been relative and had extremes. Her story sounds like the upper end of poor [1]. They had no cash, stuck with a mountain of debt (relative to their significantly reduced income) and two children in poor health, all on $25k per year income. In the US, that's poor.

[1] Meaning, with resolution to their house situation, they might've been ok. But that's a huge expenditure each month with a risk of homelessness if they fail to make the payments.
Well, I'm a Haskeller who's just leaning some Clojure, and I kinda miss the compiler catching dumb type errors sooner.

But the data-structures that are built in are pretty slick.

I have a clear memory of my first Minix[1] boot. It was in an old PC-XT (Intel 8088) with 640Kb of RAM and 10MB Hard drive. Coming from MS-DOS, this was pure black magic to me.

You missed the part where their other car isn't terribly reliable (she mentioned it failed to start, so she had to take the Mercedes). Sounds to me like they should have sold the Honda if anything, and then they would only get a few thousand at most.
Docker was a wrapper around lxc which ran an executable as PID1.

Docker is now a wrapper around libcontainer which runs an executable as PID1, with a build system for those containers (Dockerfiles) and support for features exposed by libcontainer (ports, bind mounts, etc).

The use case of "operating system level virtualization" is "I'm already running Linux, Solaris, BSD, AIX, or whatever, but I want to run another copy on top of it in order to segment off my clients/webserver/business unit/whatever". There's an implication that there'll be a real init as PID1, you may want to run sshd or another access point to let users in, and it's a "pet" in the pets v. cattle parlance.

The use case of Docker is "I built my application with this set of libraries on top of Ubuntu, but I want to deploy it alongside applications with different versions of libraries (also on Ubuntu or RHEL or whatever), and my application is the only thing that'll be running".

Remember when you got tarballs to unpack in /opt/${application} which came with start scripts which started with "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH='/opt/oracle/lib'"? Docker does that in a modern way. It can also do more than that with etcd, fleet, haproxy, and bits tacked on top to shuffle containers around, but that's the core of docker.

You, the developer, ship your application along with all the libraries it needs and it runs in a container on top of Ubuntu but it's using RHEL glibc/libwhatever without starting logind and all the other services associated with RHEL.
From the sounds of it the other car wasn't reliable.

MEUs never have a carrier attached, as carriers only sail in CVBGs. However, there has been at least one CVBG in-theater constantly since OIF began, and I doubt the Navy would ever send an MEU into a theater that did not have a CVBG present.

It's unprofessional for any business to use a Facebook page as their website. A business that wants to appear professional has their own domain and their own presence on the web; Facebook pages are for marketing, not hosting your website. A professional presence doesn't have another company's branding all over it.

Your comment is far odder than mine.

At least for me, the default sharing option is only "specific people" named as being able to view it can view it. (Though, by default, they can also add other people.) Having the link is irrelevant.
I think she made a valid point though. Selling a used luxury vehicle isn't going to make you a ton of money, especially if you have to replace it. In a lot of circumstances it makes a lot more sense to keep a paid off and reliable vehicle. The time and energy it takes to sell a used high-end vehicle in a recession is probably considerable as well.

Also, you are being callous, two unemployed people on food stamps, with children, probably need two cars just as much as anybody. They were probably busting ass, continuously, to get a new job, that usually means driving around, a lot.
Chocolatey is good, but last time I set up a PC and tried it, I had issues figuring out which version of the package to install (installer or portable), and I couldn't specify the location for each (I want small & frequent apps on SSD, everything else on HDD).

But I understand Chocolatey is just a suggestion, they also distribute Atom windows builds directly (link in the frontpage), right?
It is hard to say . . . I don't really support the idea of selling assets for a little current cash flow, especially an old car that won't get a lot of money, Mercedes or not. If things were that dire, it might have been appropriate to park the car and leave it unregistered and uninsured, but I am not convinced that selling it would have made any sense.
