Typeform.com - Barcelona, Spain - Frontend/Backend developer (also other positions, check out the link in the bottom)

Typeform is creating new ways to create forms on the web. We are heavily focused on great UX with the user in mind and we’re now looking for the best developers we can find us to help us build a scalable and maintainable front and backend.

As an engineer at Typeform, you should have a solid understanding of software architecture and design patterns. You should know OOP from the inside out and would be great if you have a strong desire to innovate, learn about new technologies and be ready to take a part in the building of the product.

As a front-end engineer at Typeform, you would be responsible for creating and innovating on every cornerstone in the front-end platform at Typeform.

As a back-end, you will need to be able to build and design large scale applications for our platform to support millions of form responses and provide realtime information analysis.

I second this.

On a previous project for our company, another dev and I were able to research and decide whether to use Angular or Knockout for a specific project. We concluded that for us, Knockout was the better choice because it seemed lighter-weight in terms of actually achieving our end goal which was simply doing reactive data-binding on the client side rather than having to do so with jQuery manually. We've since used it to create some pretty awesome user experiences that would have been a pain manually. To us, it didn't seem Angular would have been a poor choice. Rather, it was just that our goal was such that we did not need everything that Angular offers.

He addresses that in the book

> I found that Chris’s huge slowing of time requires Gargantua to spin almost as fast as the maximum: less than the maximum by about one part in 100 trillion. In most of my science interpretations of Interstellar, I assume this spin.

> In 1975, I discovered a mechanism by which Nature protects black holes from spinning faster than the maximum: When it gets close to the maximum spin, a black hole has difficulty capturing objects that orbit in the same direction as the hole rotates and that therefore, when captured, increase the hole’s spin. But the hole easily captures things that orbit opposite to its spin and that, when captured, slow the hole’s spin. Therefore, the spin is easily slowed, when it gets close to the maximum.

> Ultimately, when the hole’s spin reaches 0.998 of the maximum, an equilibrium is reached, with spin-down by the captured photons precisely counteracting spin-up by the accreting gas. This equilibrium appears to be somewhat robust.

In essence, the necessary spin (for an object to stably orbit at a distance for the time dilation needed for the plot), while possible, is not sustainable, based on what we know about physics. But it's allowable as real physics, because there could be some exotic physics involved in keeping Gargantua spinning that fast, possibly intervention by the civilization that created the tesseract.

Looking for great work-life balance at a job where you can say "I can't find my keyboard under all these robots!" ? Want a place with half-day Fridays during the summer so you can spend extra time with your family on Friday afternoons? Then iRobot might be the place for you.

We blend cutting-edge research and practical engineering to build useful and affordable robots.

We're looking for smart engineers who are easy to work with. You should probably think robots are cool, but a robotics background is NOT required. (I had no robotics background when I started at iRobot.)

iRobot is looking for software engineers and mechanical engineers.

Here are a few of our 20+ job openings:

* Embedded software engineers: We're hiring for "big embedded" (C++, Linux, and big cpus) and "small embedded" (C, bare-metal, small cpus). If you have good OO skills (C++, Java, etc.) but no "embedded" background that's okay too - shoot me an email and we'll chat.

* Java software engineers

* Linux kernel engineers

* Software engineers for vision, navigation, and mapping

* Test engineers

We're using Ember and have been for a couple of years now and it's come a long way in that time. 12 months ago I'd have struggled to recommend it but it's improved significantly.

What I would say is that like most frameworks it makes things easy when you do it the way it wants you to and will fight you like crazy when you don't. The downside with Ember, probably more than most, is the way it wants you to do things isn't always as obvious as it might be. There is a way and you're going to be able to do what you want to do but you're probably going to have to dig a bit and it might not be intuitive.

Short version: expect something of a learning curve.
SEEKING WORK - Gothenburg, Sweden. Remote. May be willing to relocate within Sweden/Norway.

I'm a generalist currently working for a small IT-consulting agency but planning to start freelancing from January, 2015 (Or if you have a really, really cool full time job, we can talk about that, too.)

I've spent the last year or so doing mostly sysadmin and networking stuff among a crazy amount of Windows servers and Cisco routers. Before that, I've done all kinds of IT-stuff for translation agencies, from custom e-mail servers through integration CAT tools into their Project Management systems to building in-house .NET applications.

Volunteered a few months working out performance issues in a huge Rails 3 app two years ago, caching, mysql tweaks etc. Made an app entirely in client-side JS with the local public transportation's API because, well, why not. (http://github.com/KTamas/nasta)

I have experience with C#, Javascript, HTML/CSS, Ruby, shell scripting, Linux/Windows servers, Cisco iOS, CAT tools, Nginx, Postfix, Dovecot, Exchange...

Bottom line: I solve problems and can learn whatever you throw at me really fast. Contact me if you need someone like that.

Hehe this was an exercise question at my university. Look at the peaks again, zoomed in on a week, and you'll see that it's always on the weekend.

This most likely means that more people have IPv6 connections at home (weekend), than they do at their work place (throughout the week).
Worth pointing out now that Ember Data is still in Beta. It's a late Beta so you're probably safe but it's not impossible that it will change.

So I'm somewhat confused by the responses to this post. It seemed to me that his long hours at work contributed to his developing the disease. But ppl seem to be responding as if he had a natural inclination to developing it, and that we should accept it.

So there's absolutely nothing to learn here aside from "visit the doctor often"?
Sounds like a sound plan.

For those wondering why I asked: I wanted to know. Less flippantly (but no less true) -- I'm interested in both successful and failing Kickstarters for Free/open software: It's a tricky business. You ask people to give you money, and in return you'll give them a metaphorical song -- and a token. No-one (I would hope) really thinks the "token" is worth wath they spend -- so it's very interesting to see how backers feel about decisions that are made, in cases like this, when a goal is significantly over-achieved.

There are many options: continue working on the code, if that makes sense; donate to something related (eg: python foundation in this case?) -- or simply keeping the money, as a pat on the back of sorts.

I don't have any issues with any of those options -- but they can be potential thorny decisions -- especially when one hasn't planned for "irrational success" (and come up with a suitable "stretch goal" or plan, like: 10MUSD: I'll go into space ;-) before hand.
And the simple fact that taking code provided by a remote service and just using it as is just handing the keys of your server over.

LISP homoicity is nice but its a bad, bad idea to accept LISP code over the network from any client. Documented dataformats that are not executable are enough of a security risk that sending an executable around is not a great idea.

8 ways to contribute to open source without writing code
Flux, as prescribed by Facebook, involves a couple singletons and implementing an action requires coordinated changes across 3-4 files. Many people find this undesirable.

The important part about the pattern is the unidirectional data flow, which limits the amount of code you have to search through in order to track down a bug. How to go about making this happen varies and there are quite a few 'Flux' libraries bouncing around the React ecosystem.

Blend | https://blendlabs.com/jobs/ | San Francisco | Software Engineer

The last 10 years saw a massive boom in the US real estate market fueled by troubled loans buyers couldn’t afford. An even larger bust followed, with losses of $2.8 trillion along with the homes of more than 14 million Americans. While the economy has since improved, many processes within the mortgage industry have not. Gains have been made primarily in paperwork and manpower, not technology. Operations remain manual and slow and consumers are not happy.

At Blend, we're fixing these problems by replacing the archaic software currently in use at lending institutions with a modern system. We're applying today's data analysis tools and consumer-grade UI/UX to streamline home lending for both borrowers and banks and make the entire process more transparent.

Our team of 20 includes engineers formerly at Palantir, Google, Stanford, MIT, CMU, and Caltech, and we're backed by Peter Thiel, Formation 8, Andreessen Horowitz, Max Levchin, and Lightspeed Ventures. Our stack includes NodeJS, Spark, AngularJS, Python, and ElasticSearch.
I not as optimistic as the original poster about reversing/slowing aging within our lifetimes. It is almost Singularity like thinking ala Kurzweil.

Stopping telomere shortening without cure for the deluge of cancers that would follow seems unlikely.

It may happen eventually for some portion of populace(think Altered Carbon like split of haves and have nots) but not within our lifetimes.

Meanwhile, I have to come to grips with my mortality as a 40+ year old who knows he will not get good at anything where he has to start from a scratch.

Because if the employee worked for greater than or equal to the value they created, the expected return on hiring them would be less than or equal to zero, and nobody would choose to hire them.

Kansas City, USA area (Overland Park/Olathe), Experienced C/C++ Window Developer

We're a tiny team working on Windows-based network and server monitoring products. You'll wear many hats including a lot of development, some QA, some customer support (great way to stay tuned in to customer pain points), maybe a bit of web dev...?

We have a firm no asshole rule -- life is too short to deal with egos. If you have to work for a living, this a nice place to spend the day. Calm, fairly quiet, professional, and very friendly. You'll be working very closely with me (owner/developer). Not looking for a yes-man -- if you
disagree, please speak up and defend your point. We try very hard to do what is right when coding, dealing with customers, etc.

The company is boot strapped and profitable, which means no investors to tell us what to do. We release code when it's ready, not based on an arbitrary deadline. We're small, but customers (and competition) think we're big (that's why the company name isn't mentioned here -- contact me via profile and I'll send you to the website).

We work pretty much 8-5 Monday through Friday, hour for lunch, yada yada yada. When we go home, we leave work at work.

I'm afraid we can't sponsor visas, greencards, etc. We're looking for local candidates at this time.

Required:
* Great attention to detail. Your work will be seen by thousands of customers. We never ship with known bugs.
* Gets things done! Looking for the best mix of speed and quality that we can find :)
* Great C/C++ skills with Visual Studio (Win32)
* Very comfortable writing performant and robust multi-threaded code
* Great debugging skills
* Good understanding of network concepts (DNS, DHCP, HTTP at protocol level, SNMP, etc)
* Comfortable editing HTML in notepad (i.e. not dependent on a fancy editor)
* Basic Javascript skills
* Good communication skills. After implementing a feature, you'll need to write a page of documentation about it for customers. You'll also talk with customers, and with the rest of the team as we discuss features, design and implementation.
* Quick learner - the project is large and your help will be very appreciated

Very nice to have:
* QT experience (hoping to someday port Windows client app to QT for use on iOS and Android as well as Windows)
* Linux programming and admin experience
* Python (it's embedded in our app and used a bit -- would be nice to use more)
* CSS -- would be nice to have someone with an eye for design
* Comfortable with SQL
* Experience using VMWare ESX or Hyper-V
* D3.js exposure

Nice to have:
* Experience with MFC. Mostly just for simple dialogs
* ASP.NET experience
* C# experience

Technologies used:
* MS SQL Server and SQLite
* C/C++ (Visual Studio 2012)
* .NET (C#)
* STL and some Boost
* CEF (Chromium embedded browser)
* IPWorks
* libssh2
* OpenSSL
* Python
* ASP.NET (website)
* AmCharts and DotNetCharting
* Sencha (ExtJS)
This is going to sound stupid, but I love you. Thanks very much for writing this.
