Docker - San Francisco
I'm hoping people are somewhat familiar with Docker... but if not:
At Docker Inc, we believe that containerization is the next big thing, the tool which will be part of every developer and sysadmin toolbox. What's "containerization"? The name comes the LXC technology (Linux Containers), and the technique is also known as "Lightweight Virtualization".

That's why we recently launched Docker (http://www.docker.com/) & Docker Hub (http://hub.docker.com), an Open Source tool enabling anyone to run those Linux Containers very easily & a community Hub for the community to organize, share and create images publicly as well as privately. Containers boot 1000x faster than virtual machines; their disk and memory footprint are also much lower; and they work on virtually all current platforms (from physical servers to public cloud instances). We think that they are the future of virtualization, and will soon become ubiquitous.

Convinced? Then fork the repo on github (https://github.com/docker/docker) and have a look at the code. Not convinced? Then check the website (http://www.docker.com/), which contains more details, demos, and screencasts. Excited about this? Then join our engineering team!

We're hiring for:
- Python (Django, Flask, Twisted, etc.) Web Engineers
- Go (golang)
- FE (javascript, ideally react.js)
- Security Engineering

As well as many other positions. If you think you'd be a great fit for Docker, I'd love to check out your profile.

I am about 10 months in to a similar experience, pre-diagnosis, and I can echo your statements about how terrifying the unknown can be. Being surprised to wake up in the morning can really alter your perception of reality. I think there is an enormous amount of abstraction needed in this perception to avoid going insane. I think it is important to be able to remove oneself from the reality of ones own mortality and I don't think it is possible to live normally while being too aware of it. Having said that, If recover from this whole thing I think it would ultimately be a good thing to have gone through as my appreciation of normal life would be much higher.

Good luck for your surgery.
When I was getting started with Thin (the Ruby web server), Ezra sent the first few patches, talked about it at confs, used it at his company and helped me debug it on IRC for hours. Only because, he thought it was cool tech. His passion was contagious.

He's the reason why my tiny project became popular and I'm sure many other tech we use today. Thank you Ezra!

I thought about this too last year. Such a service could also audit your services list every so often and ask you if you're still using them. If not, they could remind you to cancel or cancel for you, saving you money.
That seems more like paint to me, which is certainly important in its own right, but not the core focus of an architect, or what I think the parent was trying to convey. The architect is more concerned with structure and conveying feeling to other people – which is other programmers in the case of code. Attention to aesthetics is important, but those aesthetics are more like how to appropriately use whitespace to evoke a sense of beauty when the next person catches a glimpse of your work in a text editor, to ensure that the reader understand that "a door is a door and not a window", things like that.
Where do they get money to pay higher minimum wages? By adjusting their prices of course.
SOAP/XML, WSDL, and related tooling are not always a walk in the park, but they certainly haven't faded into history. Indeed there are plenty of pathological cases, and overblown, tool-bound APIs designed by architecture astronauts, but it is also possible to publish and consume them in a manner just as simple and straightforward as the examples suggest. Taking just one example from my own experience, Salesforce's SOAP/XML services have proven easy to use, sensibly managed and versioned, and far quicker than hand-building structures to manage "simpler" REST.
How secure do you think the passwords of these health execs are? For the most part they are a bunch of 50/60 year old lifelong bureaucrats. I wouldn't expect them to be the most security-conscious computer users.

Ten bucks says the highest levels of protection some of these execs have is "what is the name of your dog" or "gl4x0sm1thkl1ne".
Counterparty - REMOTE - http://counterparty.io

Counterparty is a freely licensed and open-source platform for peer-to-peer finance that lives on the Bitcoin blockchain. The network has been live since January, and it has seen over 100k transactions since then.[1] Overstock.com recently announced that it would be building the world's first SEC-regulated stock market for cryptosecurities on our platform.[2]

The non-profit Counterparty Foundation is hiring a developer to join a team of two (myself and one other) dedicated to further developing the Counterparty Protocol and software ecosystem (e.g. wallet software, block explorers). Experience with Python is strongly preferred, as much of the work will be with the protocol's reference implementation, counterpartyd.[3]

It goes without saying that this is an unconventional position requiring a great deal of independence, self-direction and creativity. More details about the position: http://counterparty.io/jobs

Women in Tech: The female faces of Hyderabad tech companies
I like the design and the flow of the thing, really. But I don't see who would be willing to pay for it (although I may be very wrong).

Also, some minor criticisms:

- The code at the "Adding to your site" section should be in a monospaced font;

- The pricing is strange. For the price of 10000 posts we could get 20 accounts of 1000 posts. Also, it is strange to pay per month by post. If I reach the 1000 mark I'll be doomed forever?

- Why are you using a totally new mark-up language? You didn't find any good existing alternatives?
Evolution is also not concerned with your personal desires or motives.

Which isn't to say that nonfunctional selection criteria cannot be at play (the peacock's tail is a common example). Just that when push comes to shove, traits with practical survival characteristics matter.

One instance in humans that I'm aware of that operates differently from what might be expected is a recent (< 5,000 years) adaptation in much of the Tibetan population that distinguishes them from their ancestral cousin Han Chinese. This is a mutation which gives them enhanced survival capabilities at high altitudes. But it isn't (as I understand) a trait which increases the body's capacity to absorb or hold oxygen, but one which allows it to do better with lower blood oxygen levels. Leading to among other things, greater fecundity in those circumstances.

I'm also aware of other adaptations elsewhere, particularly of highland Inca/Andes populations with generally shorter stature (lower overall metabolic demands) and increased lung capacity. Again, somewhat distantly recalled stories.

Point being that the path to greater levels of adaptation may not be the one you'd think.

Hi! This is really interesting. I am in South Africa - where are you situated here, or would that turn into a remote position?
This is absolutely heartbreaking.
Started working on one of those on a conceptual level. The main problem is that some of those services provide no management API nor want to resell, which would be the best source of revenue in my opinion. Without that, you have a glorified "I'm using this/that" list.
If there are unescaped <> chars in the "xml" then it's NOT xml and the API shouldn't be called "xml" but "plain text made to look a little like xml".

The people producing such garbage should be ashamed of themselves and should be publicly shamed.

Of course, as a consumer of the API we often don't have any power over the producer and have to swallow what we're given as is; but even in that case the correct approach is to have a first step of cleaning/correcting the xml (with something like Beautiful soup for example) and then feeding the clean xml to a proper parser.

* Fluency in English

Please see here for more job openings in our company: http://www.apptornado.com/jobs
This is quite interesting, as the divergence between east and west seems to become more pronounced over time, not less. The divergence in mobile UI styles have given rise to entire classes of apps in China that would find no market in the west. Indeed, I doubt many of these would find a market even in Japan (which has similar text entry problems, though somewhat ameliorated by the existence of the hiragana alphabet).

Should we expect the Chinese search giants (which the author mentions are often easier to use than the host OS) to start releasing their own OSes? It seems that Android and iOS are rather poorly designed to Chinese use cases - though no doubt at least Apple is working to fix that (Google has less reason to because, as the author mentions, it is banned in China).
It's not a science movie. It's fiction. Science is a passenger, not the vehicle. You want science - go watch a Neil DeGrasse Tyson or Carl Sagan (and don't get too wound up about how they gloss things over - the kind of science they're doing is too complicated for an hour long show).

The science used in sci-fi movies is not about the science - it's about the myth of science; the things we wish science could do or lead us to do. But more than that, it's about telling a story. We are not relating facts here, we're off into Joseph Campbell territory.

Even the most scientifically accurate movie is going to do some jazz hands once in a while just to keep things interesting/heroic/funny/whatever because: failure is not an option - the movie has to make money.
> Bitcoin users donate more to causes.

No evidence of this.

> Why would they require a separate Google search just to donate in a widely used currency?

It's not "widely used" for any fair definition of the term, it's an upcoming niche at best.

> But when I want to donate to something I go to the website and click 'Donate' and I USE THE OPTIONS THERE...

Fair enough. It's really up to you to decide what's more important, donating to the cause or bitcoin evangelism; if you're more concerned with the former rather than the latter, it shouldn't matter where the bitcoin option is located so long as you can use it to make your contribution.

Apparently there are THREE separate populations adapted to high altitudes with entirely different approaches. CO2 saturation, Nitrous Oxide tolerance if I remember right, and I don't remember the third. But it sure points out the inventiveness of evolution, that as short as human history is, we've evolved physically to fit environments we never could only a few thousands of years ago.

All that I could swallow, if only. If only it made any attempt to even fake it well. If only it didn't ignore plot holes the size of a truck. If I could only figure out what the plot was, or who the characters were (from moment to moment), or what they meant by the words that came out of their mouths. If only it was a real movie, and not just a bunch of images on a screen to give teenagers the impression they're watching a movie.

"modern popular languages that people actually use to write software"?
Generally speaking the developers who apply to us aren't optimizing for salary today; if that's what they want then they'd be much better off working for Google/Facebook/Stripe/etc rather than founding a startup.

The amount we invest is enough to cover cost-of-living for the founders so they're able to focus on building their startups (it's roughly similar to other accelerators), but anyone building a startup should appreciate that it'll involve trading-off near-term salary for longer-term gain.
Cyph – Privacy starts here (1-1 encrypted chat with OTR)
I don't see anything else that it meaningfully shares with Angular 1, certainly nothing that warrants keeping the name the same. What people are bitching about now is that Angular is essentially deprecated and a dead project: in other words, Google's spectacular failure at maintaining the project. That applies to both Angular 1 and 2 now, as it's clear to me and plenty of other devs that Google is simply not serious in this space (not to mention that Angular 1 wasn't all that great to begin with when used for anything but simple apps). I think it'd be foolish to choose Angular 1 or 2 at this point, knowing that there will be literally no support from the creators. Other frameworks do this as well, just not on such a short timescale.
That's fine so long as the money flows nice, but if/when things get tougher, they will have to scramble to find a solution.

There's 2 sides to this business -- the technical/development side, and the business side. The business side should very much care about not wasting money unnecessarily, even during the good times.

~~~~~~~

But it's not just about saving money -- the company has almost zero flexibility when using all 3rd party solutions. If a vendor pushes an update tomorrow and it radically changes the product and causes a large disruption (it happens), or a vendor goes under tomorrow, or [insert dooms-day scenario here], the company will be left scrambling.

Using 3rd party services also forces the company to build business routines/practices around their current inflexible environment -- so if they do have to switch vendors at some point, they will have to likely reinvent business routines/practices too. For some companies/services, that is not a problem -- for others, well, some companies have gone under during major core software changes (imagine your warehouse management system having to change suddenly and unexpectedly).

Just like software engineers try to minimize external dependencies unless the dependency is absolutely necessary -- businesses should too.

At first I thought this was to track development of git itself. Something I would be interested in, not that there aren't avenues to do so.

Related anecdote: about 3 years ago, I was interviewing a student for an internship. In passing he mentioned he had used different VCSs for different projects. I asked what the major differences were between the VCSs.

His answer: "Git is public, so you can only use it with open-source code, whereas you can use Subversion with any code."

We design, build, launch, and operate small satellites, and process, analyze and serve the imagery data we downlink from them. We have some serious (-ly fun!) data and software challenges as we aim to rethink how satellite imagery is accessed and used. Our goal is to image the entire Earth, every day, and democratize access to these data and tools. So far this year, we've launched 71 satellites across 6 rocket launches, with many more slated for next year. We're a team of ~100 engineers (software, mechanical, electrical, aero/astro, and manufacturing) and business people primarily based in San Francisco, with a small, primarily SRE, team building in San Antonio, and a handful of remotes across the world.
