>No, it isn't.

Says who? you? here is what Wikipedia says:

What sexual behavior is considered promiscuous varies between cultures, as does the prevalence of promiscuity, with different standards often being applied to different genders and civil status, see? varies.

> There's no contradiction. Expressing opinions is one of the ways that morality reveals itself

If you think that my tone is about morals, is your problem, and if it is about morals, so what? do you have a problem with morals?

> The majority of people have an STD, even those who never have sex

Citation needed, and depending of what kind of STD you are talking about, there are some that are no problem, but those transmited only by sexual relations are the most dangerous, and the promiscuous has more chances getting it, period.

>My observation is much more valid than yours

Says who? you?

If me saying that being promiscuous has more risc of
getting an STD botters you, sorry, is still a fact.

>Never said you were

Yet you brought the subject, proving nothing but you are desesperating trying to justify your point with information that has nothing to do with the topic.

>That's the second time you've tried to use that derailment tactic

Nope, is the second time you are not getting it, at this point I feel I already wont the argument, no more replies from me.
Agreed. It seems like it's primary purpose is to add dependency injection annotations, so its similar to today needing to understand `['$q', function($q) {` notation, or the special `$get` function for providers.

GoGuardian - Los Angeles, CA (Hermosa Beach) - https://goguardian.com

We're building analytics for Chromebooks for Education! Chromebooks in EDU has been an insanely hot market (72% compound annual growth). We're the first to market with a solution that helps schools understand how their fleet of devices is being used. We've got a small market share now, but have great product-market fit and a great sales pipeline (10% week/week growth).

Engineering-wise, we're ingesting tens of millions of events per day from hundreds of thousands of devices. We're in the process of rebuilding our entire event ingestion pipeline (going from PHP+MySQL to Kinesis+Node/KCL+Cassandra+Solr). We've got a team of five engineers (including myself). We're all responsible for everything (frontend, backend, database, deployments, everything). We're looking for someone who wants to make tremendous impact in the organization - making key engineering decision that will impact the company for years to come. We're looking for killer frontend and backend people as well as data scientists (we've got a goldmine of usage data that we haven't run any non-trivial analytics on).

We're Pre-Series-A and profitable! We're in the process of raising an A round which will enable us to scale up. If you're interested in an early stage startup that's positioned well for stable growth, please reach out!

Once the critical mass is reachable over IPv6, the rest becomes "long-tail" which will eventually be too expensive to bother about.

An extreme example: if an internet user has IPv6 and just uses gmail, youtube and facebook - they can turn off IPv4 right now and not notice anything.

Lee Howard has had an interesting presentation on the subject: https://www.nanog.org/sites/default/files/wed.general.howard...

p.s. Quite a few million of T-mobile's subscribers are also IPv6-only today, just that they use NAT64/464XLAT to connect to IPv4-only services.
Mondido Payments (Full time Stockholm, Sweden).
https://www.mondido.com/en

We’re a hungry team from Sweden, Finland and United States that are building the next generation payment platform.

Today we work with AWS, Heroku Rails, JS/HTML (and probably node soon) and need more curious people to go faster.

If you think responsive, high available and performant applications are fun and challenging then you should send us a ping!

We’re looking for a backend Rails developer, and a frontend html/js developer that either are great with design or with js.

Relocation could be possible if you are the right person!
Using Entypo Pictograms as Icons in Your Qt Application
It depends on the kind of duties you are expected to perform and the risk you are taking by joining the company at this stage.

If your focus is JUST (and only) the tech its not a founder position - its senior executive. Founders are expected to do much more for the company than a senior executive. Founders help in crafting the overall strategy and are expected to do whatever is required by the company (over and above your primary responsibility, which is in tech in your case).

The risk is mostly defined by how stable the company is - is it funded already? how many employees did the company have at the time of joining? what kind of traction has already been gained over the past year? how uncertain is the future of the company in terms of its direction? The length of existence of the company is not much of a factor if there hasn't been any traction in that time period.

In the end it all boils down to what you and the CEO count as fair. A starting point would be to look at the equity portion in the startup school video here - http://startupclass.samaltman.com/courses/lec18/

Hope it helps in some small way.
"(personally I can't fathom why you would prefer developing without interactive debugger etc.)"

One may prefer developing without an interactive debugger because they want to be working in a language or environment where an interactive debugger is unavailable.

You can also have an interactive debugger without an IDE.

San Francisco and REMOTE | Atlassian

We make JIRA, HipChat and other developer tools that you may know. We're growing our developer relations practice and have a few developer evangelist positions open right now.

As a developer evangelist at Atlassian you don't have sales targets or time in a briefing center, and you don't do Powerpoint - instead you spend half of your time building modern web code (pick your language, pick your stack) and half of your time writing and talking about what you did. And you can travel as much or as little as you'd like.

In short you get to build cool shit and showcase what's possible by example. Our company is still growing fast after more than 10 years, and our culture is innovative and inclusive.

Here's two to start:

Sorry if I gave the impression I was complaining about underlines.

My personal website is a playground for ideas; it is not a product anyone payed me to build, and it is not intended to sell anything. The fixed semi-transparent nav is an attempt to balance my annoyance with fixed navs that break page down/page up functionality with the utility of having quick access to useful links (use case being “interesting post, who is this person?” or “what else have they done?”). I don’t love it, and it’s pretty bad at mobile widths, but it has the distinct advantage of preventing readers from losing their place when paging. Another commenter picked up on that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8679336

Anyways, I appreciate the criticism. Though I heartily disagree that as a result of that expirement, I cannot write about improving text underlining on the web.
Arazoo (https://www.arazoo.com/)

We're a pre-series A company (4th engineer just hired) based out of NYC building a B2B product for the Architecture and Construction industry. Our co-founders identified an interesting opportunity in this space that we're trying to solve with a great Web App, some Machine Learning, and lots of data.

We currently use Scala (Spray + Slick), Java (Spring + Hibernate), Python, PHP, JQuery and Angular JS. We're looking to slim down our stack to just Scala + Angular, and Python.

We make heavy use of AWS.

We're looking for a full stack developer who is interested in solving problems across lots of domains and who wants to learn and share knowledge across those domains.

If you're interested email:

It's worth pointing out that, according to their team page [0], Sawhorse Media has zero dedicated backend engineers (apart from maybe their CTO). So, in their case, the alternative would be to hire someone just to manage these things (sysadmin, engineer, or whatever). In this case, I can see why they would make the choice of outsourcing everything.

But if you already have an in-house engineering team who is reasonably competent at maintaining services, the tradeoff is probably different.

DiligenceEngine Inc. | Toronto, Ontario, Canada |Remote possible

Clojure DevOps Engineer

DiligenceEngine Inc. is a Toronto-based startup using machine learning to automate legal work. We’re looking for a DevOps engineer to help us manage and automate our technology stack. Our team is small, pragmatic, and inquisitive; we love learning new technologies and balance adoption with good analysis. We prefer to hire in the Toronto area, but also welcome remote work in a time zone within North America.

Primary skills we are looking for:

- proficiency with scripting for automating tasks (we use Python and a bit of Bash)

- proficiency in Linux systems administration

- knowledge of system security

- proficiency with PostgreSQL administration

- knowledge of managing clusters and highly available systems, especially PostgreSQL

Skills that are nice to have:

- some Clojure experience

- familiarity with Docker

- building distributable virtual machines

Responsibilities:

- approximately 50% systems administration and 50% development

- required to be on-call at some times

- maintaining and extending cluster manager software

- automating build and deployment processes

- automating testing processes

Don’t worry if you are only experimenting with Clojure or other nice to have skills, we’re happy to help you learn. Development tasks vary depending on your strengths and interests. Everything from working with our clustering software to the web service is an option. We are really interested in someone who sees an opportunity to automate something, helps us work out the kinks, and takes the initiative and does it.

To apply, send an email to jobs@diligenceengine.com with your resume and links to previous work.
If you work in IT, 35h/week is something you will never see in France. You will hardly see tech people leave the office before 8pm, 7pm at best. If you leave before, people are going to point a finger at you "taking the afternoon off".

Engineers typically have a "cadre" status meaning that they can work 10 hours a day. That doesn't include remote work after getting back home.

When I moved to the US, what struck me is that work days are way shorter. Most engineers were gone by 5:30pm.
People actually have spare time after work.

Sure, there are less vacation days, but at the end of the day, the work-life balance is way way way better in the US.
Have been thinking about this for a while with a partner of mine and worked on a prototype, here are some screenshots:

The operational security and access control at Uber doesn't inspire confidence...if the data is so easily accessible from the inside to be used for whatever purpose, then it's only a matter of time before an employee with a "12345" password gets phished. The OP didn't mention the problem of user-ratings being exposed through the mobile site (https://medium.com/@aaln/how-to-find-your-uber-passenger-rat...)...even if that data isn't such a big deal, the fact that it was just left floating out there, secured via obscurity, doesn't speak well for Uber's precautionary mindset.
A Truecrypt container shared by Bittorrent would be a bad idea.
If the service just provided "add a user, remove a user (hired, fired) and adjust billing appropriately", it would already be worth a lot and wouldn't need full account access.

Its mind-boggling how many accounts I still have for companies I don't work for anymore.
When you say an MMORPG based on text adventures, do you mean something like MUD and its variants? I spent a good deal of time building areas and scripted events on a few MUD-type platforms back in the 90s but attention gradually shifted to more graphical environments for the most part and I lost track.
I'm sad for Steven and for all the other software engineers who tell similar stories.

I don't have math or numbers on this- does anyone?- but I can tell from personal experience that just about every time some software engineer my age becomes mortally ill, it's brain cancer. There is something unstudied about what we do that causes problems.

Personally, I had my biggest scare a couple years ago while I was working on a deeply nested, recursive algorithm. Trying to keep the whole thing in my head caused me to stay awake at night. Eventually, I had a fainting spell at a sushi bar, an ambulance was called, and ultimately the doctor thought I'd had a a massive heart attack.

This didn't turn out to be true, thank God, and they never found the biological cause. But I swear to this day that it was the algorithm gnawing on my brain. I don't know that I've been the same engineer since.

There's a terrible risk in our business and no one is researching it. I almost feel like we software engineers are like 3 pack a day smokers before enough science and research was done to prove to the public that smoking causes cancer.

Software engineering can cause brain cancer.
The most interesting pieces to me are the ones that work to bypass the walled gardens: the in-app third-party app stores with OTA installs, and the in-app wallets.

The former knocks apple/google out of the gatekeeper role, and the latter presumably lets somebody else take a percentage fee off the top.

In the US, I understand ios and android try their hardest to not allow apps that do these tricks into their app store. Not at all familiar with China... are there different rules for being listed there, different players, or just an unregulated wild-west where everyone has jailbroken functionality?
While I love the way POV-Ray (And OpenSCAD, for that matter) does things, it bothers me that its language is more about specifying rendering than describing the objects in the scene. That is, the textual commands directly used for rendering, you can't use POV-Ray's language to define a scene and then export it to some 3D file format, to the best of my knowledge, which can then be rendered somewhere else.
You might check out Mitsuba (http://www.mitsuba-renderer.org/) and LuxRender (http://www.luxrender.net/). Both are more modern open-source renderers with Python APIs, and I know that Mitsuba is quite popular in the graphics research community (in part because that's where it comes from).

This. I could summarize the movie as follows: Science? Check. A guy that wasn't given fair chance, now saves the world? Check. Little girl experiences "ghosts", nobody believes, turns out true? Check. Two main characters fall in love? Check. And so on.

It is all a matter of pleasing the viewer by giving him exactly what he wants. Science is just sexy right now, and that's actually good.
