This.

I tried to say something like this in another comment. I am a Haskell fan, but the article sounds like evangelism -- and like with evangelism, its tactics of always-show-you're-humble will inevitably annoy a large number of people.
I think you have interesting ideas, but I don't see what they have to do with the article.
Typical this happens when I'm pushing fixes to our facebook integration app a friday evening. First I thought it was me hitting request throttling limits...
That's the annoying part. I'm not privy to the internal workings, but I just need the app to fire up and stick something on the clipboard. After that, let the OS kill you off because I'll fire you back up again ad hoc.

The notification says it's synchronizing with my chosen cloud provider, maybe it doesn't want to get inadvertently killed during that process. Okay, fair enough. But can't the notification be removed after it's done? (An honest, if rhetorical question; don't know enough about Android to say for sure.) I have enough special snowflake apps sticking their crap in the notification bar, one less would be nice.

Nice. Next time I'll say FB messages are down too.
HTTP Status 503
It's times like these that keep me relatively more calm when my stuff goes down, even at the fraction of a percentage scale I'm running in comparison. I wish them luck in fixing things.
VKontakte (Russian facebook) was down a couple of days ago...
If you've got constant thrust from constant energy input, that pretty much implies perpetual motion, since energy input increases linearly with time and kinetic energy with the square of time.

If you want to say you get less thrust as velocity increases then you run into trouble with the principle of relativity.

So I'm skeptical too, though I think it's worth continuing experiments.

Yo is the "Hot Dog Toaster"[1] of the app world. It does one thing and does it great. But there are other things that have the same functionality AND will also do more. It is a single use app(liance) that will just clutter your place up eventually.

Increased errors/latency on all Platform surfaces

Facebook is currently experiencing an issue that is affecting all API and web surfaces. Our engineers detected the issue quickly and are working to resolve it ASAP. We'll update shortly.
except for HN where the post is #1 right now.
This is beyond my understanding. What is it about a FB service outage that makes it so important?

(this is not an attempt to troll, it's a serious question)
Torture is not permitted under international law last time I checked, but US doesn't care and neither does EU.

And I love the argument that unless you can prove Israel is deliberately targeting Palestinians, they are innocent - that is extremely hard to prove, but very easy for Israel to tell that they "had intelligence". Obviously it is much easier to just blow up a building with a rocket if you've seen Hamas fighter entering it and noone seems to care if there are many civilians inside.
Its amazing that the world is still turning even when Facebook is down. Hmm...

I noticed that I had trouble logging on yesterday around 4pm. I wonder what's going on.

Kitchensurfing - New York, New York
http://www.kitchensurfing.com

--------------------------------------------------

What we're doing:

- Kitchensurfing is an online marketplace where users can find outstanding local chefs to cook for them, at home. Our core mission is twofold: to provide a platform for chefs to grow their independent businesses, while making it possible for people to connect over great food.

- Line chefs at the nicest restaurants in the world make at most $12-15/hour, yet the food they make is sold to diners at a hefty markup. We're trying to bridge the gap.

- People are conditioned to expect great food in restaurants — and rarely elsewhere. We want to change the way people eat, while preserving the efficiency and hospitality of a great restaurant experience.

- Most internet service companies attempt to decrease human interaction through software efficiency. We’re building a company that does the opposite. We think there's something magical about having a chef in your kitchen while you relax and enjoy the company of your guests.

How we're doing it:

- We’re committed to code quality and productivity. With those values in mind, we pair program, test drive and practice continuous integration in a Rails environment. We don't work 'startup hours', just normal ones.

- We're a small team (currently 6 engineers). We rotate often between pairs and across projects.

- We deploy code whenever we finish a feature. As an example, last week we deployed to production 35 times.

- We have a collaborative culture where engineers work directly with product managers and designers to find the best solution to user problems.

- We work out of a townhouse in Gowanus right now, but are moving to Soho very soon.

Who we're looking for:

- You're interested in working with Rails and pair programming the majority of the time. You want to write tests for any feature you implement.

- You're more interested in building a great product and shipping features than you are in figuring out the cleverest solution to a problem.

- You want to enjoy coming to work each day.

My name is Dan, I'm an engineer here at Kitchensurfing. If you're interested in learning more, please get in touch: dan AT kitchensurfing DOT com

Analyst/Programmer
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
Center for Biomedical Informatics
Application Development Team
Philadelphia, PA

https://www.chop.edu.apply2jobs.com/ProfExt/index.cfm?fuseac...

We are hiring talented developers who want to work in a start-up type environment creating new novel software within a large academic medical center. Everything we do affects the health of Children. That’s our primary mission.

The Analyst/Programmer in Enterprise Translational Informatics at the Center for Biomedical Informatics (CBMi) is responsible for supervised development and implementation of highly creative and reliable tools in order to optimize informatics solutions in the research setting for bio-repository studies and enterprise translational informatics solutions. Most projects will relate directly and indirectly to the Children’s Brain and Tumor Tissue Consortium, but will have wider enterprise implications. This position demands an individual with superior technical programming skills who can quickly apply this knowledge to define a “best path” for a wide variety of projects. The Analyst/Programmer will develop solutions for a fairly complex organization to yield deliverables such as bioinformatic analysis modules that utilize large and complex data types, data extraction/analysis modules that are dependent on complex underlying healthcare data systems, and process-oriented modules that help maintain patient privacy and further the efficiencies in biorepository studies.

The programmer/analyst will work closely with the Applications Research team in Translational Informatics to understand and execute on client requirements, design of solution sets, coding, testing and implementation for programming projects that affect the bio-repository and translational research community. The individual will be able to very quickly and independently translate requirements from disparate functions into deliverables that are immediately high in quality, extensible as defined by a long-term strategic plan, and intuitively accessed and utilized by users.
It probably broke a lot of websites people were working on, that's the only reason I noticed it.
Senior Ruby/Javascript Engineer - New York, NY -SkilledUp Academy

===========================================================================================================
Our Mission

SkilledUp Academy is changing the way that people learn skills online. Over 44% of college graduates work in jobs that don't require a college degree, but employers still can't find quality talent. We introduce the human element into real-world, skills-based online education. Students complete rigorous curriculums created by our partner companies that focus on teaching the skills that employers need. Our industry-based mentors ensure that students receive the support that they need to learn.

Our Story

We were born out of two acquired startups and still retain the culture and practices of a lean / agile startup, but have all the resources and benefits of a public company (our parent company, Apollo Education Group, made over 3.5 billion in revenue last year). We’re a young company looking for people looking to help shape our culture.

Our Team

We’re a diverse team made of:
- A Bonnaroo Guitarist
- The world’s preeminent scholar on Toilet Based Social Networks
- A philosopher king with a sweet spot for ice cream

Our engineers write pristine, well-tested code. We pride ourselves in developer happiness. SkilledUp uses a pull request based workflow, continuous integration. We think Ruby on Rails, Trello, Github, and Heroku are the best tools. We have continuous investment days, where we only focus on learning new skills.

That isn't the culture around there. I am pretty sure anyone worth their stripes on product engineering has probably cost the company significant downtime in the past.
"at will" is completely and utterly standard (in the US)
On a very abstract level, I don't really think it makes a difference. If you start from one sub-domain as a primary foundation in mathematics, you eventually wind up realizing you can define that sub-domain easily, using different sub-domains of math. Realizing that is I think, where category theory sprang from. That last bit, I could be totally wrong on - I tried to teach myself category theory and wound up building webs using abstract algebra and formal logic.

That's obvious if you program, though (to me). What you can do in one language, you can do faster, slower, more concise, more verbose, more symbolic, more literal, and so on, in another. You can build constructions and you can break them apart, depending on what layer of abstraction you can get to. You can call it by it's specific name and functionality, in how the part interacts in relation to the parts around it, or you can call it objects and morphisms.

I might be totally wrong, again, or using the wrong words and confusing everyone including myself (which is why I like to study formal languages, too). But I think that no matter where you start from, you will eventually find yourself in a place where you are scratching your head, confused about what you know, what you don't know, what everyone knows, and what everyone doesn't know.

Oh, and it's probably totally obvious if write proofs, believe in induction, and get very philosophical.
Close - San Francisco

Hiring full-time in SF (SoMA), contract-to-hire preferred:

* Generalist Software Engineer
* Data Engineer
* Data Scientist
* UX/UI/Rapid Prototyper

We're a seed funded startup - 3 former Googlers - and we're tackling the messy world of business. Every day, people shake hands over million-dollar deals that can change the future of a company. From fundraising and acquisitions to partnerships, promotions and product placement, businesses get together and make new things happen. But there's no platform for them; they typically overload sales-focused CRMs, or are stuck in the world of spreadsheets and email. We're changing that.

It's a fascinating data problem as we're mapping out professional and company-to-company networks, trying to understand who does business with whom and why, feeling our way around the underlying graph that nobody's explicitly mapped out before. From old school tie to the boardroom, why do people do business with each other? What are the trust and influence networks? What's the equivalent of PageRank for investors? What does it mean when a VP moves from one company to another? How do I get my startup funded?

We're trying to answer all these questions. We have an invite-only product already launched, we're building a team-facing solution, and we're expanding our data team to work on the platform that powers it all. Here's my take on the space: https://medium.com/@jennielees/the-joy-of-data-a1d3757d3567

Looking for fast learners who can get their hands dirty, quickly; who know when to duct tape and when to have 100% test coverage (think like a hacker, ship like a pro); who don't mind being wrong occasionally; and who are intrigued by the overall space we're in. We've had a good run from HN posts so far, hoping to continue it.

You'd be single-digit employee and have a significant chance to influence our culture and growth, as well as immense impact on the product itself. We have a generous equity setup, though we prefer contract-to-hire so we can figure out if we'd work well together.

For our generalist role we'd prefer it if you have Rails experience; for our data roles, Python. Graph-specific data experience is a bonus.

I lead engineering at Close, and I'm also happy to chat for coffee if you're interested in startups, this problem space, or if you're interested in the product itself.
