Lever – Redefine web apps as realtime distributed systems
https://jobs.lever.co/lever

Lever started in YC S12. Today we've announced our $10M Series A https://blog.lever.co/the-next-chapter/ and shared why collaborative hiring software is the most important web app we can build to improve the world.

We have another vision at Lever: We are redefining what a web app is, and we are building a web app better than any you have used yet -- even if you are already a Lever user. :-)

I worked at Google on the Search team when Google released Chrome and when Wave stunned the world with a futuristic vision. Sarah, our CEO, was part of the small team that spearheaded Google Chrome's initial growth internationally.

We love the Web with an irrational exuberance. URLs have changed the world, and being able to use software that does everything we need simply by visiting one is an incredible experience. Realtime collaboration is a fundamentally transformative idea that has made Google Docs and tools like it 10x better than installed software even with many fewer features.

But why do we sometimes still yearn for the days of installed native software? Native software feels so good. Local software is more responsive, you don't wait to load data after every click, it is always there whether or not the Internet is working. The connectedness of web software is transformative, but we are giving up the great user experience of local editing.

The solution is web apps that are local editors. At Lever, we are writing all of our apps in DerbyJS (http://derbyjs.com/), a new way of thinking about how apps can be written. We use Operational Transformation (OT) and ShareJS (http://sharejs.org/) to edit all data. Users can make edits in realtime or offline and data will be synced automatically. Because OT resolves conflicts, the UI can always be updated immediately.

Browsers already have all of the features we need to store all of the data for an entire application locally in IndexedDB, to make sites available offline with Application Cache, and to provide two way realtime communication with WebSockets. Why aren't applications written this way already? It is just too difficult. Why didn't everyone start using AJAX until jQuery made it trivial? DerbyJS is making the most innovative web application architecture accessible.

If you are an experienced distributed systems engineer up to the challenge of creating the best user experience ever seen in a web app, join us:

I'm simply wondering - how in general html/js applications would work with multiple monitors.

A typical set-up at work (game studio) is 2-3 monitors for artists/level builders. We had to write a new docking system for Qt5, since the existing did not allow to dock outside windows to others (or tab in them) - e.g. bit like Visual Studio docking (but not there yet)
AGAINST AGAINST EMPATHY

This article is linkbait without real substance. It's smooth legerdemain to make a false statement become seemingly true, not by insight, but by guile. Yes empathy can be maladaptive in as much as emotion without reason can mislead and anything in excess can be harmful, but empathy is usually understood to mean nothing more than recognizing other people as individuals both separate from ourselves and joined with us in our shared humanity. Inasmuch as they are separate from us, they have a unique perspective, and inasmuch as they share our humanity, we can imagine what their subjective experience might be. When Obama exhorts us to practice empathy, he is asking us to humanize the human elements we too often objectify. He asks us to go beyond the boxes of politics, race, culture, class, and nationality we divide the world into, and to see the human experiences of others. And we all know that's what he's saying, and that's what others advocate when they extol empathy. Yes, empathy can go wrong, especially when you consider all of the different concepts that are tagged with that word. But if anything, the article reinforces the importance of empathy as commonly meant and understood by outlining the exceptions that prove the rule.
To be fair, they don't have that ability in the first place against a determined attacker. (Ie once they show you the content, you can grab it.)
The internal nodes point to leaf nodes. The leaf nodes contain pointers to the heap (table). At least with a B+Tree, the internal nodes only point to the leaf nodes in the same B+Tree structure, and not to "data proper".

So the leaf nodes, which are often about 99% of the total, contain index tuples that point to the "data proper". The internal nodes have index tuples too, but those are only used to get to the leaf nodes.

How do you re-encrypt a read only storage medium like a disk though?
Here is a hacked-together tool for visualizing Postgres B+Trees as GraphViz graphs: https://github.com/petergeoghegan/btree_visualization

Note that it's very rough, because I never got around to polishing it (I am not really the original author). It also visualizes them in physical as opposed to logical order, because I never finished off the latter (which would probably be more useful).
Yeah that's true, but I would say the majority of people aren't ripping Netflix streams in case Netflix's content licences expire. If they are given a master disk with everything on it, anyone with that disk has the data on it in perpetuity (barring storage failure)

Neural-Network
How BuzzFeed Thinks About Data Science
As a person who always hated exercising, too, I can tell you that it's just a matter of starting and then stick to it until "something" clicks and makes you crave exercise like you crave food or sleep.
If knowing what's the neurological basis that makes exercise so useful for our body, is what keeps you going, that's great. But really, any reason will do.
My reason: proving to myself that I have a stronger will strength than I used to think and believe for so many years.
When I don't exercise (for me that means also practicing Ashtanga Yoga) for like a week because of external reasons, I experienced a deep slash of depression -- real depression, like seeing everything black, totally unmotivated self-loathing and so forth.
Luckily, it's just a matter of getting a good hour of intense excercise and the day after I'm back on track. There's definitively something chemical going on there.

Thanks for the book suggestion

Unless you have the enviable ability to teleport, driving is probably one of the least dangerous ways to get from place to place (compared to walking and cycling).
Why don't they just stop the flights to and from infected areas until it's "under control". Or why don't they stop the plane at a base and check everyone on board before allowing them back into society? This country's leaders can't be that stupid.
The problem I have with this is that "leaving" anything most often inconveniences or displaces people around you. For instance, you probably wouldn't leave in the middle of an important deadline to go on holidays, as it would affect the rest of your team.

In the same way, depression-based suicide takes considerable toll on not only friends and family, but the people who witness / discover you. I don't have the same opinion on assisted suicide for chronic illness, as I believe it is a dignified choice, but I personally can't be OK with someone taking their life in depression as though that is their ultimate will. Depression affects the will, and as a mental health issue it is something these people need to be aided with in recovering to full health.
Maybe it's more important to maintain a state of mind where you could quickly relax into a period of no-thought, than to actually spend a lot of time in no-thought. Regular exposure makes you aware of when you're spending long periods in a stressful state of mind.

...only under certain circumstances, which are still being investigated.

I don't think we can indefinitely continue to hide this particular problem. There are still too many people who believe depression doesn't exist; there are still too many people who are reluctant to talk about it because of the social stigma that they think it might have.

I agree with the author in general. However, I would write an article about a more general and insidious fashion (fashion repeats itself). That fashion is "I hate typing" or, alternatively, "typing less makes me more productive." Guess what; it doesn't. Here's why.

If you're using programming slang to make yourself more productive, then you're not programming. You're a boiler-plate code generator. Therefore you could be replaced by a program or DSL that a more adept programmer could write. Stop using slanguages and start thinking about what and how you're coding. You'll become a better programmer. Quit trying to fool yourself that syntactic sugar and shortcuts are a valid development paradigm. You'll become a better project manager.

I abhor things like CoffeeScript and Markdown and various metalanguages, because they are speciously productive at first. You type less and get the same result. Great! However, most coding actually requires some thought and the logic and structures don't simply fly off your fingers. It comes slowly and these slanguages stop being useful at this point. So you take the time and effort to learn a modified, non-standard syntax that stops paying off once you get to the core of your task.

I hate to think of how many wasted programming man-hours non-standardized formats have produced.

I tried to implement addition in GF32 through Kogge-Stone adder because the dependency chain has length 5 instead of 32. No success. The intermediate variables got so complex that the BDD library I used at the time couldn't even synthesize the expression for a 32-bit adder.
Boracay Accommodation – Best Deals Here
Forcing people to continue living who don't want to, just because it might inconvenience others seems more wrong to me.
Same here. It's changed the way I write. I recall how much I've already contributed though! This 1.0 release as been a long time coming.
Excerpts from your CDC link, which I'm not quoting out of context:

> In comparison with older persons, adolescents and young adults who commit suicide are less likely to be clinically depressed or to have certain other mental disorders (3) that are important risk factors for suicide among persons in all age groups (4). This has led to research directed at the identification of other preventable risk factors for suicide among young persons.

In other words, this may not apply to people who suffer from clinical depression, because they weren't the focus of this workshop.

> These findings have induced efforts on the part of many suicide- prevention specialists, public health practitioners, and researchers to curtail the reporting of suicide -- especially youth suicide -- in newspapers and on television. Such efforts were often counterproductive, and news articles about suicides were written without the valuable input of well- informed suicide-prevention specialists and others in the community.

Emphasis on the counterproductive part: they aren't recommending that suicides not be discussed at all, they are recommending changing how they are discussed:

> ...and characteristics of news coverage that appear to foster suicide contagion were described.

Again, they are describing specific types of news coverage.

> Some characteristics of news coverage of suicide may contribute to contagion, and other characteristics may help prevent suicide. ... Clinicians and researchers acknowledge that it is not news coverage of suicide per se, but certain types of news coverage, that promote contagion. Persons concerned with preventing suicide contagion should be aware that certain characteristics of news coverage, rather than news coverage itself, should be avoided.

They are reiterating that point again. It's probably important.

The article then goes on to outline, in brief, the specific aspects of reporting which the workshop participants thought might promote contagion. Importantly, none of Feld's article featured any of those aspects.

The CDC link concludes with this:

> ...the workshop participants strongly agreed that reporting of suicide can have several direct benefits. Specifically, community efforts to address this problem can be strengthened by news coverage that describes the help and support available in a community, explains how to identify persons at high risk for suicide, or presents information about risk factors for suicide.
Let me give it a try with the math.

TS initially gets 6% (for $18k, but that's irrelevant). The founders also take the $100k convertible notes at $3M cap and 20% discount.

Say the company closes a round of $1M at $3M pre = $4M post, i.e. the investors get 25%.

For me, it's always easier to think about shares.
Say the initial pool is 1,000,000 shares, split in 940,000 to the founders, and 60,000 to TS.
Pre-money, 1 share costs $3, and the investors get 333,333 shares, that are added to the pool.

TS has 20% discount, that makes the price $2.40. With $100k, TS can buy 41667 shares, that are also added to the pool.
Overall, there are now the following shares: 940,000 to the founders, 101,667 to TS, 333,333 to the investors, so they respectively own 68.36%, 7.39%, 24.24%.

(Note: this may be a simplification, meaning that the investors can possibly work on pre-post to have exactly 25%, which means both the founders and TS will have a little bit less.)

Skipping the details, let me add a few more examples.

- Round of $1M at $4M pre = $5M post, i.e. the investors get 20% => founders 73.25%, TS 7.27%, investors 19.48%.

- Round of $500k at $1.5M pre = $2M post, i.e. the investors get 25% => founders 66.35%, TS 10.12%, investors 23.53%.

In conclusion, $100k for 7-11% equity seems pretty reasonable.

Edit: fixed formatting

They cooperate on the same stack (webrtc.org) which deals with audio/video processing. Networking, JavaScript bindings, etc (the part exposed to the outside world where standardization matters) are separate. This ironically means that interoperability isn't a given, took a while to achieve, and was worthy of a press release.

You are upset at all the people who use markdown and think they are coders. Do you really think such a sample of people exists? Where exactly? Nobody can say that with a serious face and anybody who's into learning markdown has at least enough knowledge to know that.

Use case for markdown: when I build website (by hand, writing pure HTML-CSS-JS on my text editor of choice), adding the copy can be a chore. If I write it in markdown, or ask people to write it in markdown, or reprocess whatever they send me in a markdown editor with html output (I.e. Byword), I save a ton of time by producing a very simple html text block I just need to copy and paste where needed.

Second use case: when I wrote my degree thesis I chose to do that with a normal text processing software (Pages on the Mac). When I had to put it online, I simply copied it inside a markdown editor coupled with a previewer (Marked) and I quickly wrote a couple of scripts to convert footnotes (supported by hyper markdown). Half a day later I had my chapters in a format that I was able to quickly turn into html blocks for my website and convert to ePub with Pandoc. Markdown saved me hours of work.

Third use case: whenever I write a post for the web publications I work for, I write it in markdown with Byword, because it gives me a good distraction-free writing environment and the ability to send my editors (that being myself, sometimes) a perfectly fit HTML a version of the article. When I write articles, I want to focus on writing the article, not writing even the simplest HTML.

Last, but not least, the guy seems to willfully ignore the plethora of very good markdown editors (with incredible support to HTML conversion) out there.

This is why the article sounded more like a bitter rant, than a thought critique.
