Upcoming (www.upcoming.nl) - Amsterdam, The Netherlands (No remote, but we'll relocate you) - Full Stack Software Engineer

===== About us =====

Upcoming is a Dutch 'listicle' website (a listicle is an article consisting of a list of funny/informational/sentimental/whatever stuff). We've been growing continuously since we launched last year, already reaching 10% of the Dutch population with zero € spent on marketing. We’re (an independent) part of Telegraaf Media Groep, one of the biggest publishers of The Netherlands.

===== Abour our tech stack =====

We use python in the backend (Flask, Celery+RabbitMQ), and manage the frontend with Jinja2, jQuery, LESS and Grunt; persistence is done with MySQL and Redis. The deployments are automated, in a Continuous Integration environment.

Our backend is developed in-house, with state-of-the-art publishing related features such as:

- Monitoring of 1000's of rss feeds from news websites, in order to detect trending articles all around the globe.

- Advanced analysis of our own articles' metrics, for automatically promoting them among our publication channels (this is aimed at maximizing virality).

- (Bayesian) Headline and thumbnail A/B testing

- Highly scalable click-through-rate optimizer, presented in a workshop of the ACM Recommender Systems conference in Hong Kong last year.

Since we're part of a big media group, some of these tools are now being used by other teams, reaching tens of millions of users every day.

===== What we're looking for =====

- CS degree and/or relevant web experience

- Ideally, someone who has spent some time across the whole stack, but we will consider people who consider themselves “just” a frontend or backend developer.

- Pragmatism

- Python experience not mandatory - just show us that you’d be willing to learn and that you’re smart :)

===== What we offer =====

- A perfect balance between working on innovation projects and “regular” web development, both with short and iterative development cycles.

- The flexibility and dynamism of working in a startup, with the strong stability of being part of a big company.

- An international environment, with people from all over the world (UK, Italy, Romania, Argentina, Brazil, Iran, and more)

- Thorough relocation assistance, regardless of where you’re coming from

- A competitive salary

- 25 vacation days

- Amsterdam! You’ll be living in one of the most beautiful and cosmopolitan cities in the world.

For VM hosts -- the number of cores (plus their respective resources like cache, etc) are more important than how performant each core is individually. Usually for hosting companies, density is more important than raw performance, making 32 cores in 1 physical host very attractive.

Almost. In addition to an image of the screen, we superimposed it on top of the image returned from NSImageNameComputer, which grabs an icon-ish representation of the user's computer model (e.g. it produces an iMac image when run on an iMac), and that often includes an Apple logo. We also superimposed the icon of the selected app on the Mac, which was often iTunes or another Apple app. One of those is what they didn't like.

Yes because establishing a monopoly of one big US company rather than say 200 local taxi cos in a city is such a fantastic US-free-market-thing to do. Hard to fight against a multinational corporation with the marketing power of $1,500,000,000 in funding behind it against a 'Meier Taxi' or 'Müller Taxi' - some dudes with 5 taxi cabs trying to make a living in a harsh market environment.

Nice, clear explanations in an article that should encourage git adoption by a community that might be hesitant.
No one is going to be "solving" Hearthstone using any of the analysis provided by the author here. The author is missing several huge pieces of the puzzle including card & deck synergy, synergy with hero power, option cards, meta-oriented target cards (aka tech cards), and most importantly, that cards themselves are a resource. You can immediately tell the latter isn't taken into account when you see cards like Shieldbearer, Voodoo Doctor, and Sacrificial Pact in the undervalued list (all low mana cards with little benefit). You won't find any of those cards in any legend-tier or professional deck at the moment because they provide very little utility or board presence. Nothing is shown in their research that provides any information that players don't already know.

He even mentions in the article that Blizzard is very supportive of their research on game and card balance, but they specifically mention that they are concerned about the real-time dashboard that can predict your opponent's deck. The prediction part probably especially puts them off considering there was a video released last week that shows someone allegedly using a network vulnerability to predict exactly what cards an opponent draws during a game.
Nice! I see your guide here: http://taprun.com/pricing/ . I'll check it out, thanks!

I think the Github vs. Bitbucket question is a proxy that I can easily translate into my scenario. So in that case, what are the relevant factors?
Local lobbies? Most taxi companies are _tiny_. Yeah, in Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne you might have bigger ones, but they're still local.

The law in question is on a _federal_ level. It's not a law in Berlin the city, Berlin the state, it's a law in Germany.

Your condescending comments ("Haha, they don't believe in political corruption") are neither on topic nor relevant to the issue at hand. I advice you to stop and rethink your approach here, and maybe gather more facts first. You're just trolling at this point.
It's actually worse than that: Microsoft gives you free integrated desktop virtualization (MED-V) and, in IE 11 they added an Enterprise Mode which works very well with antique sites. Both can be seamlessly integrated using group policy so a user clicks on the blue e, uses the web as normal and when they hit http://creaky-internal-app.example.com the experience seamlessly jumps back a decade.

This isn't being conservative about upgrades. This about an IT department refusing to learn to do anything they weren't doing in 2000.
Sure. Just that that the "regulations" Uber is violating are a federal law. Just about nothing local here.
> Does a modern software engineer not need to demonstrate an ability to design efficient algorithms that solve problems that haven't been encountered before?

On the job? Sure they do. In an interview room? That's not an adequate replication of the job environment. I am not asked to design an algorithm for a problem introduced to me 17 seconds ago and have 5 minutes to do it.

Plus, you're committing the #1 sin of interviews; that many of the people that can answer the question in an interview setting have encountered the problem before, and that's why they can answer it.
Don't worry, they actually mean "The Beginning of Big Twitter" , the title is misleading ;)
Both, actually. I Think encryption should involve specialized hardware, such as a smart card. That way, it would NEVER ever be exposed to a network.
I prefer BitBuckets because I don't want pricing to become an issue in how I split up my projects. They also have free private repos if you have 5 collaborators or fewer.
Imagination Technologies introduces 64-bit MIPS CPU to compete with ARM
I don't know about European labor laws or your contract, but by US standards I don't think they did anything wrong and a blog post such as this would be perceived negatively.

edit: I mean no offense but just wanted to make you aware how this would be perceived by US readers potentially. US is lacking in a lot of labor protections.
> There is an information asymmetry when hiring a taxi (I don't know what kind of driver I'm going to get) so legislation reduces that.

Why is this about information asymmetry? The driver also doesn't know what kind of passenger they get.
Polluting the HTML with extraneous information not intended as markup is never a solution.

As someone already said, use headers, css, etc.

You can easily have this on a Linux machine:

First install basic: apt-get install bwbasic

Next find where getty starts the login program, but change it to run basic instead. In Ubuntu: /etc/init/ttyS0.conf:

start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]
respawn
exec /sbin/getty -8 -n -l /usr/bin/bwbasic -L 115200 ttyS0 vt102

You will see this on the serial port:

You're talking about Wundercar. The had a run-in with the regulators but adapted their business model accordingly, so at the moment, they're in the green. If the whole business model flies, that's a different question though.
There are similarly a lot more eyes and attention on keeping OS X Keychain safe.
User stories work when the user interacts with every part of the system. But for backends or libraries or engines, there is no user but other developers. We're not trying to delight developers probably, but to enable them. That different impulse drives different coding behaviours/ project plans than 'put up another screen for the web user'.

I disagree that technical debt == bad code. That's just a cop out. Code can be golden and still not cover all the cases or perform as well as a better-but-larger-effort solution. So we cut corners, write golden but small-scale code and move on. Its a startup after all. Then later when the fires are out and we have time to breath, we'd like to spend 12 hours and put in more golden code, that takes longer to develop but performs better or covers more cases.
Such a clickbait title... Knuth was really ahead of his time.
This phone is preferable over any of Apple's lock-in, overtly proprietary devices. It's a shame there's not any good app markets for the US. Apple and Google are populous, but the market experience is very sub-par.

Seeing how China is still very much still an imitator, even in innovation, the phone still looks very nice.

How many security fixes have you backported to Safari 5.1? A lot of Google's upgrade obsession is driven by the fact that they have a LOT of other people's data which is under constant attack.
You're completely missing that Comcast is a "monopoly" because its customers have no choice while Uber is becoming a "monopoly" precisely because people do now have a choice.
Colorado's missing marijuana taxes September 02
I agree with this but I think at least part of the problem is that we don't have good tools for specifying precisely what it is we intend to build. If we could create software plans as detailed and exacting as blueprints for a new building we'd have far fewer failures. Instead we toss together a few wireframes and start hacking and by the time we're done the final product is nothing like what we were originally tasked to build.

As far as I can tell this just isn't the case in any other field of "engineering".
While there have been a lot of replied I think the main reason 5) is not legal is because it is much more likely that a driver will do this 12h a day for 6-7 days a week.

So he will spend more hours on the road which is more demanding for him as well as his car, which is why it requires more regulation.
This is how you train soldiers. Some aren't cut out to follow.
Well, looking at the video, 11mn in, i see a weird system simplification:
* 6 = 6a + 7h + i
* 4 = 4a + 5h + i

get "reduced" to:
* 1 = a + 1.16h + i
* 1 = a + 1.25h + i

I wonder why it isn't i/6 and i/4... basic mistake or I missed something?

Rounded corners and gradients can both be handled without images these days, but even if you use images for things like that, that bandwidth (certainly) and number (probably) of photos dwarfs them.
"Run your small business as if it were a large business" is a quote that I would disagree with for startups, for two reasons:

- it encourages premature scaling

- many large businesses have lost the ability to innovate and lost the ability to respond quickly to market changes.

Both of those consequences can be fatal for a startup.

>However, a key aspect of log analysis is to understand the format of the arriving log data, especially in a heterogeneous environment where different applications may be developed using different log formats and network protocols to send these log data.

This is exactly what we are trying to solve with Fluentd, an open source log collector with the goal of unifying log management (http://www.fluentd.org/blog/unified-logging-layer) Syslog is a solid, "tried and true" tool, but when it comes to extensibility/modularity, it is definitely lacking.
$80K is not so much at it might seem when you're living in the Bay Area. Rent for a small apartment $24K a year living outside of San Francisco, and up to $30K+ inside the city. Everything is very expensive. When I lived in another city I could get by at $500 a month for a similar apartment.

Is this similar to User-mode Linux?
Yep! Or, say, "some guy" who just happened to be driving his personal car when he decided take a drunk female passenger from a nightclub to, instead of home, say maybe a motel room...

That's pretty similar to what the OP covered. Except part of the attraction was NOT having to install or configure special tools. Remember having BASIC always-on was what made it so accessible.

I get it, after you do this you can just log in and voila Basic. Still until Linux comes with this as a special user login, there's a gap in the experience.
I wonder how it would have developed if they had not displayed the numbers of followers/following.
I think this could work.

Mediocre developers are often charged out at $1000/hr rates by big name tech companies to their big name clients, who themselves sub-contracted to mid name developers under quite careful contract terms (client liability). Sub-contractors sometimes sub-contract themselves.

I'm thinking from an enterprise type technology stack: A smaller startup offering PaaS or SaaS to enterprise clients, perhaps replacing an in-house system could benefit from the indirectly acquired knowledge and expertise pool of enterprise developers, where the barriers to entry are sometimes slow and expensive.
In an environment where employees stay with a single company long enough, consultants may be a valuable way of moving information between companies. I'm skeptical that much software development work sufficiently resembles that, though.
No, it's just that such information makes a huge difference to those that try to make sense of the question, especially a poorly defined and somewhat confusing question as posed here.
I dont understand why is it so hard to build a running robot in lab environment. Show something in real world without tens of cables connected that can run for at least 1 minute without external computing power.

What they show is not robotic, its mechanic.
Although in general I agree with you about civil disobedience, I don't think Ubers strategy qualifies. Civil disobedience is usually for something that is perceived as a greater good at the expense of ones personal costs, often freedom. Snowden personally did not win anything at all. Ubers disobedience is mostly aimed at increasing their operating profits: They could comply fairly easily, but they choose not to because of the costs. That's like calling bank robbery "civil disobedience against property laws".

I have a hard time conjuring up much sympathy for Unbabel in this situation. Work is work, and this person has come to one of the only recourses.

Also, informing the community that a company doesn't seem to value the work of its employees should be valued.
That answers something that's been bothering me about interview coding. The ones who pass, are the ones who've seen the problem before. So its not a coding test nor a creativity test; its an experience test only.
It's kind of fascinating / scary that this is running on only 100 lines of javascript..

Kind of a cool way to let designers dive into interactive layouts, if only for just prototyping. I could see it being fleshed out into something that could make a big splash, but it seems really limited at the moment to simple CSS toggles..

Where is the Github project?
The thing is we're only seeing one side of the story. It assumes both parties agree.

That being said generally all contracts have an early termination clause. He doesn't comment on what that is. Generally with 3 month contracts, it can be pretty short. It doesn't necessarily mean finish the 3 months.

To give you an analogy if you hire a general contractor to renovate your home for a 3 month contract, you can terminate the contract early if it's not working out for you. Maybe the contractor is amazing but you just ran out of funds. In any case the issue is that there is always an early termination clause in contracts. I would be curious what his is...
I stumbled across a calculus textbook that used infinitesimals instead of limits and Epsilon and all that nonsense that made no sense to me when I took the official courses. https://www.math.wisc.edu/~keisler/calc.html

This made calculus actually made sense to me. I was quickly able to figure out how to take a derivative of a polynomial just from the understanding received (instead of applying memorized rules.)
Don't overlook how simple it is to keep and maintain your own in-house project template. If you're making enough new projects for it to be an issue, it could really benefit you to roll your own. There are a few ways to solve a lot of Django project setup issues; I've never found two teams that set them up quite the same (and usually for fairly good reasons).
I'm not assuming that. I'm pointing out that the major weakness in the study is that we can't know the impact calories had here either way, leaving dietary composition to be potentially a major confounder. It's a massive, gaping flaw in the study.
I'm sorry. At this point I might need to pull the 'English as a foreign language' excuse card.

So.. 'Uber provides insurance. Is this not enough?' - 'No, because even IF (see the discussion elsewhere about whether that is actually the case. I'd trust the non-believers for now) they do, that is not enough to be safe. There are more regulations that are targeting safety. Like the license [1] for commercial transport, which requires a healthy driver (medical checkup), is limited to 5 years and needs to be renewed, makes sure that the driver has a clean record (both w/ the police and the relevant institute for traffic violations) etc. etc."

I'm unsure how that was NOT what you were talking about. "Is this, providing an insurance IF THAT IS REAL, not enough (to operate in Germany, to be 'safe')"? "No."

(I'd be glad to understand where we're not aligned. If this is a failure based on my reading comprehension skills I'd like you to point out what I missed so that I can improve here)

Look at the pros and cons from the researcher's perspective.

Pro

His professional and personal reputation is enhanced by his research findings, which do not depend on the dashboard. What does the researcher gain by releasing the dashboard? Not much.

Con

If he releases it, he potentially changes the character of the game if a lot of people start installing and using the dashboard. He makes life harder on the Hearthstone team, and Blizzard. Ultimately the risk is that the game see falling interest and support, and gets cancelled. So what does the researcher lose by releasing the dashboard? Possibly one or more aspects of a game he clearly likes.

It was probably not hard to convince him not to release it.
Years ago I would've loved this, but I'm just too productive with a native mobile app. I may only be in this app 20% of the time, but I wouldn't trade that 20% for encryption.
Another option would be to allow the source to be specified in css (stylesheets are loaded before images anyway). Then you could do

<img id="cats" src="fallback_for_old_browser.png" />

@media (max-width: 600px) {
#cats {
src: url('http://cats.com/cats-600.png');
}
}
Taxis qualify as public utility in germany, free to use just like a bus, train, whether you're an asshole or not. The cab drivers duty is to deliver me safely at a regulated price, if he does that, his job has been fulfilled. If he has an entertaining story to tell, all the better, but seriously, I don't really need that.
In the US, dealing with Chinese who have that 'Houkou' system can also be very difficult, as they've established significant connections with the local native population.

The only thing Shenzhen appears it has going for it is its youth. The dominant cultural deficits of Chinese culture will eventually erode the advantages of Shenzhen's youth and it will become just another Chinese city mired in the infamous thousands of years old Chinese bureaucracy.

If Shenzhen does succeed, it could change the more able thinkers in China's enormous bureaucratic system capable of implementing change. However pivoting a bureaucratic system that is over centuries old is doubtful.
