gnuplot is fine but one of the best features of visualization is interactivity imho, without interactivity you lose a lot of the power that comes from visualization...

That's why unfortunately I still recommend something like processing, then you can write your own small IPC to send data to your visualization code from any host

We're hiring for everything: Engineers (front end, back end, systems, ops, everything), Marketing, Product, Sales

I'm a front end engineer here and I can honestly say that it's the best job I've ever had. Great team, great internal culture, amazing trajectory (we're growing like crazy), and fun.

Our current stack is mostly Java with Cassandra, Mongo, and Postgres. We work a lot with Hadoop, Kafka and Storm. (great post by one of our engineers on Docker/Mesos/Chef: http://blog.relateiq.com/mesos-docker-and-chef/)

Our front end is mostly Angular, and we are heavily invested in Docker for our infrastructure.

You are right on the money with regards to the changes, but the timeline is a bit off. All FB apps created after April 30 automatically get all the new stuff (whether they want it or not). Existing apps have April 2015 to switch to the new system. So, the outage is probably unrelated to to the new stuff.

Router boards these days are a commodity, with all the available consumer access points using the same SoC and hardware on a different PCB with their own plastic case.

A single SoC often provides 1) MIPS processor, 2) Ethernet MAC, 3) Switch in ASIC, 4) WiFi MAC

See also: http://www.eeboard.com/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2013/08/...

You can buy off-the-shelf complete systems ready to be dropped in a plastic case, or even complete (and very commodity) systems: http://routerboard.com/

I'd love to see a RaspberryPi-style approach to home access points using the popular MIPS SoCs, with pfsense (https://pfsense.org/).

Even job related stuff I've head group message threads open where my and the people I'm working with are uploading .zips of the latest work etc..

Am I a dork for noticing the mistake that the second Thor movie wasn't a prequel for The Avengers?
There's definitely a tradeoff between library maturity and language quality. There are also a few specific domains that are best-served by more domain-targeted languages. That doesn't mean we can't say that, aside from those issues, one language is better than another. I can say that Haskell is a better language than Python and then go ahead and use Python anyway because NumPy/SciPy/pandas or whatever. We can separate the issues and render judgments about language quality independent from library maturity, etc.

The existence of specialized domains justifies an argument that you should use specialized languages in those domains, but that is almost never what we're discussing. Java, Python, Ruby, Haskell, Clojure... none of these are languages specialized for a given domain. They're all general-purpose languages, and if you compare them as such independent from their libraries, Haskell is the best of them. That does not mean that it's the best choice for every project, but that's a completely different question.

Is this a joke? So much pomp and circumstance for a list of 16 hex colors! A big-ass readme file with install instructions??? Fucking ruby gems??? And to top it all off, it breaks designs that use the original colors. Distant colors are now similar. Lime on Green would have been ugly but readable before; with these new values it would be totally illegible.

On the other hand, as someone who also believes speed limits are too low, I sometimes wish they _were_ enforced to draconian extremes because then the 95% of drivers who just ignore the law instead of trying to change it might actually get off their asses and vote.

You're not really making me feel any better about this. Google's IPO was only 2.7 times the purchase price of Instagram? Even more, Google's IPO was a fourth of the current valuation of Snapchat? Those numbers don't feel right to me. Google also was actually profitable at the time of its IPO. It had a real business model.
Ahh good call and my bad. Thanks for doing that!

Code Trip - London, UK (Remote welcome)

C# Lead Engineer on new Marketplace platform
Code Trip London, UK (allows remote)
http://www.codetrip.co.uk

==The story==

Over the last year we have written a new full-featured Marketplace eCommerce solution from scratch. Our client base is now increasing so we need more development firepower.

We're looking for someone to help us mature and grow the platform to cater for the varied needs of our clients while ensuring it remains unified and coherent and preventing it splintering into a million special cases.

We are a bootstrapped startup which means we need our software to help us out as much as possible. This means it needs to be automated, reliable, flexible, comprehensible. Monitoring and diagnostics are key.

==Skills & Requirements==

Above all you need to be a generalist and a self-starter and see no boundaries to the technical work needed to make things work right. You will bring the size of the core development team to 3 and between us we tackle everything from application code to investigating problems to proactive monitoring to deployments to JavaScript in the browser.

This is a C# project so you really should be very comfortable with C# and .net.

We use RavenDB. If you don't know what this is - go and read about it. Working with it is just brilliant in so many ways. Experience of Raven would be a fantastic bonus but it's so easy to use you can learn it on the job - so not essential.

You should be comfortable with JavaScript and jQuery and at least have an understanding of CSS.

==In summary, must-haves==

- C#
- great communication skills
- a can-do attitude
- ASP.NET MVC
- experience of working in eCommerce or some other fast-moving consumer-facing web app

Experience of any of the following would be helpful:

- RavenDB (or other document db)
- Lucene
- git
- building platforms with an configurable workflows, behaviours, themes, plugins, etc
- JavaScript / CoffeeScript
- Azure
- Payment Providers (Stripe, PayPal and others)

==This is a huge task but the rewards are equally great:==

- reusability is a goal: and nothing is more satisfying for a developer than successful reuse
- our clients tend to be startups themselves, so you get to help create not one but multiple new businesses
- as an early-stage employee, you can share financially in the success you help bring about
- We want to build our team out with talented, self-starting developers. This is an amazing opportunity to work in a developer-led company, using great technology on a product that is getting more and more popular all the time.

Remote working: Ideally we would like someone within commuting distance of London but we welcome applications for remote working for exceptional candidates with fantastic communication skills and a successful track record of remote working.

If by “web safe” colors you mean the 216-color grid of 00, 33, 66, 99, CC, FF along each of the RGB axes (this is the common definition of “web safe” colors), then this basically incorrect. Web safe colors vary dramatically between displays, just like any others.

The reason for “web safe” colors was that most color displays in the mid-1990s used a 256-color palette to render everything on screen, so any colors not in the palette would be dithered. Browsers had their palettes set to include the 216 “web safe” colors in addition to various operating system default colors. Web safe is basically irrelevant to anything since sometime in the mid-2000s.

Web safe colors render just as inconsistently across uncharacterized displays as any other colors. And when the displays are properly characterized (“calibrated” is the popular word for this, but not quite technically right), colors at the very corners of the gamut (like FF0000 or whatever) are actually much likelier to vary, if any of the displays’ gamuts doesn’t cover the entirety of the sRGB gamut.
> (which really isn't about Haskell; but more generally about being in the top 5% of programming)

Attitudes like this is exactly what the this article seems to be concerned about, if we want to generalize beyond the Haskell community.

So long as you know the colors in [0] are all just the hardcoded CSS "standard" colors, then great :) There are some "awesome" ones there (papayawhip, lightgoldenrodyellow) and the history of how they came to be (via X11) is pretty interesting too.
