Mapsense Position: Backend Engineer

Keywords: INTERN, VISA, FULLTIME.
Minimum education: Bachelor's degree in CS/EECS.
Minimum experience: 2 years.
Useful to know: Java, Maven, ZooKeeper, MongoDB, Lucene, Git.

Tone A (professional):

The backend team at Mapsense is a small but highly motivated group building scalable tools for geodata analysis. We're looking for an independent, experienced backend engineer to join our team and and contribute while learning the infrastructure. An ideal candidate would be comfortable with designing and implementing web APIs; building and testing autoscaled services; and being productive, professional, and personable on a daily basis.

Tone B (nerdy):

There's a word to describe the freezing of a machine that executes billions of electronic instructions per second, then examining its memory's contents bit, by, bit: debugging. If hitting breakpoints sends chills down your spine, you're probably cut out for backend engineering at Mapsense. Hack away at the backend of a complex but intuitive geodata analysis API, implemented as a distributed, autoscaled nexus of modern open source technologies. And in case joining a team of intelligent, highly motivated code ninjas isn't enough, we have one more guarantee: consider boredom a thing of the past.

Tone C (cute):

The one thing that sets Mapsense apart from all the other geodata startups is the sheer popularity of our cute office dog, Amos. To be honest, our backend engineering team is a little jealous of all that attention. They've already developed a versatile but highly intuitive API for geodata ingestion and analysis, all while placing massive emphasis on documentation, testing, and teamwork. But to really shine, they need some help! Will you be the next independent, experienced engineer to join the backend ranks and help surpass Amos' renown once and for all?

Tone D (challenging):

Tired of companies living off of boring CRUD APIs with a single, static database? So are we. The backend engineering team at Mapsense is building a distributed, scalable backend architecture to support the ingestion and analysis of massive amounts of geodata, but writing well-designed, documented, and fully tested code isn't easy. That's why we're only hiring highly motivated, independent engineers to join a tiny backend team always willing to commit to quality. It won't be easy, but nothing worth doing ever is.

Tone E (meaningful):

Help Mapsense revolutionize the process of geodata analysis by joining our backend engineering team in developing an incredibly versatile tool with use cases in a variety of industries, from climate to marketing to military. You'll have the opportunity to jump into a robust, scalable system built on the latest open source backend technologies, and work with a motivated group of engineers. Expect to grow from interesting engineering problems every day while transforming the world one data set at a time.

I didnt directly experience a death until my 40s. When I've talked about I've run into even older people that have not directly experienced a death.
We live in age-stratified communities where death happens infrequently to young adults. And we have a modern health system which has made death rare among younger people.

More taxes may mean that some region "does better" than one with lower taxes, but perhaps that's only because those who are saddled with the taxes work harder, similarly to how a cooled engine ("taxed" of heat, you see) can produce more power.

There is also the tax theory that if you're a member of the working class, taxes impoverish you. They keep you working for more years, more weeks out of the year, and so on. If you want people to struggle to be productive, it helps to rob them.

That is, if people could work almost purely for themselves, it is conceivable that they would work less. They would satisfy just their own needs, and let the leeches fall by the wayside. So, of course, the overall economic output would be lower!

If you're poor, high taxes for everyone else are good for you. If you're so rich that you don't know how rich you are, you probably don't care so much because, after tax, you're still so rich that you don't know how rich you are, even though you paid a king's ransom in absolute terms.

It's the people in the middle that bear the stress.

If it's any consolation to you, 9front types keep on adding more and more fiddly multi-key shortcuts. Eventually it'll be like suckless, where you need the man page to even open a shell. Pretty opaque interface.

Re: taking your hand off the keyboard: I find that once you get to multiple modifiers and/or you go outside of alphanumerics, you've got to take your EYES off the SCREEN, which is worse.

You know, you see people commenting about the mouse, but you never see anyone say "you know, if there's one thing I don't want, it's getting to anywhere on the screen just by looking at it!" But that's what the mouse is. You can point at anything almost as quickly as you can point your eyes at it.

I can't believe I'm commenting (yet again) in another one of these cringey Plan 9 threads, where nobody knows anything and everybody thinks they're an authority... but there you go.
This looks like the inverse of the usual "tell we what's in this video" design - Dextro seems to want you to ask it if something their system already knows about is in a video.

I think I'd rather just submit a video and have all the matches and their confidence / salience (not sure that these are the same thing).
Windows gives you the choice when you connect to the Wifi - a kind of "is this network trusted?" dialogue.

Honestly the thing that makes sense is smarter applications. If you only need local connectivity, only listen on the loopback interface. If you open a port then you should expect to receive public requests on this port, and should have appropriate authentication in place.
It seems to me that the real problem with XML is CDATA sections which have been used to cover a multitude of sins. CDATA should have been implemented as (say) normal XML with a reference (offset and length) to binary data at the end of the XML document. No special escape sequences would have been necessary, and the XML body could be kept clean.

And then what? Let's say China knows that Senator A and Senator B both took an Uber to the same restaurant at the same time. What do they do with that information? It doesn't tell them what, if anything was discussed. Maybe they didn't talk politics at all. Maybe they had a big fight and swore never to speak to each other again. Who knows? How does the ride information help? I'm hardly an expert on espionage, but I don't see what advantage this gives anyone.

I'd say this is a pretty sensible approach. Ultimately if you want to understand JavaScript properly you're going to have to do it barebones for a bit first, so why not start there?

The only caveat is that JavaScript is still really lacking in a few areas, and you'll probably find yourself wanting some 3rd party parts to help you with them:

1. No modules or dependency management. I believe these are coming in ECMAScript 6, but the browser support isn't there yet. You can invent your own module system by hand and then write out all the script tags but it gets really annoying once you get to say 10 files. I'm using npm (the NodeJS package manager) with Browserify and that seems ok, although there are a few other solutions out there too.

2. I use Lodash to give me some extra operations on functions and collections that aren't in by standard, but I find useful. I'd actually prefer to have a library which provided some good standard data structures instead, but I haven't found the right one yet.

3. DOM manipulation. The standard DOM interface is a bit scabby. I'd recommend D3.js as a pretty nice DOM manipulation library that you can dip into or out of as you like. It's a fairly large learning effort, but I'd say worth it.
I worry that a victory over aging would be opening a pandora's box on humanity's progress on social change.

It is my personal opinion that a person's opinions of social norms, cultures, and traditions are largely fixed throughout one's lifetimes, and it is death (and birth!) that allows a society to shift its morals.

Ha, that trick with `Map<T, ()>` is actually really neat, and I'm happy to see that there's no qualms about its efficiency that would preclude its use in the standard library. This post has inadvertently become the most thorough documentation on zero-sized types that I know of, in addition to being the gold standard for guiding people interested in implementing data structures in Rust. :)

Depends how strictly you classify it. Although age is an important risk factor for most types of cancer, there are many childhood cancers as well. Whereas dementias are almost always seen in adulthood, and especially prevalent in old age.

Certainly, dementia research receives considerably less funding then cancer research, so I agree with you that these prominent diseases of ageing are underfunded in terms of figuring out a cure.

MU* (MUD, MUCK, MUSH, MOO, ...) are text-based worlds that predate the modern MMORPG and many are still running and still interesting to explore.
I first thought "Where is the benchmark?" It's not clear enough that the article has many pages. (By the way, the benchmarks start in page #4.)
Why specifically? I always considered this a relatively safe way to transmit encrypted data. Assuming you have secure key exchange worked out, which is always the harder part anyway.

But does UPnP work on firewalls?
I think a lot of people don't trust the OS firewall due to many years of using Windows firewall. Windows firewall hasn't always been good, and is confusing still to this day for a lot of users (when I search for Firewall in my Windows 7 start menu, I get no less than 4 different options which all present me with different context menus, etc). Not to mention security product vendors still try to peddle their 3rd party firewall as being superior to the built-in firewall, which is rubbish other than maybe a usability standpoint (you either block something or you don't).

Compounded by the fact that most Windows boxes are "leaky" over the network and often have services talking without the user's knowledge.

This is changing, but it will take time to change user's minds. In the *nix world (which includes OSX), the desktop firewalls in my experience have been good for a very long time.
Right; I mean more than just a fork that replaces Google services. The author seems to lament that text entry services provided by the big Chinese search engines are not available throughout the OS. Text entry seems to be a huge problem in general in China, and from a strategy standpoint it seems to be almost inextricably linked to the discovery function.

Xiaomi is a device manufacturer; I'm specifically referring to Baidu, 360, Sogou, etc. If their search/translation functions really are that much better, they could drive the interface of the phone and create a better experience. The Chinese market is certainly different than the west, but that's what we've seen happen here.
Well,they didnt reject that add-on,just said it needed to be fixed.

Mozilla has add-on guidelines that are pretty light.

Do we really need to rely on flamebaits like these to fix issues? I think not.
