If interested or want to learn more email us at jobs@engageuat.com. Include Hacker news in the subject and tell us a little about yourself.
I'm absolutely sure this is a non-existing problem for most criteria of existence you consider, but still I think it could be useful in various cases for various different people and uses.

That, however, doesn't mean these people will find the service and understand it. Anyway, here is it.
I'm with you there in that I couldn't imagine writing 30 pages of markdown. For something like extensive documentation, I could imagine rST winning, particularly since there is a standard syntax for extending it.

I still mostly use LaTeX for documentation though.
Are U a Black Friday addict?
I'm more certain every day that there is a place in the market for a company offering "subscription management" service. Manage all SaaS for a business (or personal as well!), keeping costs low and utilization high. Provide one central billing endpoint.

I would definitely use a service like that, both personally and professionally. The number of subscriptions I have is growing, and it's frustrating to keep up with all of them. I would love to have them all in one accessible place.

Advertising can add value to a company's bottom line. It's not always well-executed, but it can be useful.

New York City - Moat

Moat is a growing analytics startup with products in two core areas:

1) Analytics

Moat Analytics analyzes content and advertisements for many of the most trafficked websites on the Internet. We study terabytes of data a day and give customers metrics like ad viewability, attention and user engagement. This product has helped make these metrics a standard in the online ad industry.

2) Search

We index the Internet for online ads. This allows us to give advertisers, publishers and adtech companies an overview of the entire online ad ecosystem. This is hugely valuable information - our customers can see their competitors' ad campaigns, find prospects by seeing the clients of similar sites or see trends in the industry before anyone else. We have a free product, moat.com and a premium product, Moat Pro.

Moat is dealing with some really interesting engineering problems at scale. We've built up a great team and we're turning into one of the larger Python shops in NYC.

Optimizing “Who's Hiring” Posts on HN
I am on this route, perhaps 2 years further along. I just finished a 2-year Executive MBA. It definitely changed my career path (which was the point). The credentials gave me some extra confidence and firepower in negotiating into a team lead position. but as cpayne says below, the real value is the knowledge and new way of thinking the MBA carries that affects your career. It's like having a whole new set of analytical tools available to act in a situation.

It has made me a better software team leader than I would have been, and definitely set me on a path to reach the next levels of management in a company, which is my particular interest and skill set.

I vote for starting some reading of business IT. There are lots of good articles to start your reading list and which will point you towards other readings.
For many companies, the chat is critical. Also, if one person has to fix the chat for 1 hour a month, you are easily paying more for that person then for the external service.

I would question that hosting in-house would be cheaper. As stated in other threads: that's less then the cost of an employee qualified to run all those services.

If my subthread sounded at all like an attack against Lisp and Racket, than I humbly apologize. So far, I am loving the language and what can do with it.

And I like currying and such, as well. Even use it in Racket quote often. Isn't too uncommon to see something like in my projects.

((compose
(curry func1 val1)
func2
func3) seed)

I think what really makes Racket so amazing to me is just how easy it is to iteratively write a function. Start with a core, and gradually append around it more and more till it is done. Testing with values throughout the whole process.

I also like the literature around Lisp. Land of Lisp and SICP are both very well written and just plain fun to read.
I was stressed and burned out, but I finished my thesis by working fewer hours
The idea is that it can be turned off from the machine itself, so eg if you get hacked via a website or email, your firewall might get disabled, while another box would also need to be hacked. (Of course things like UPNP give the machines control over the router so making this moot, which is why I dodnt run them).
You had a celeron, sounds like you were spoiled. :P I had my dads old 486 to play with POV-ray on. I remember getting up at 5 am to work on a scene and come back from school to see if it had rendered right. Do homework tweak and hit render just before bed. If I was lucky I'd finish something cool once a month or so.

Meh. Describe an alternative to a growth-oriented society that isn't either feudalism, some kind of white agrarian fantasy, or an even more imaginary "sci-fi utopia where everyone wears togas." (Google The Venus Project and the Zeitgeist Project for an example of this stuff.)

Resume'/CV: chrisbennet.com (portfolio of some past projects)

Email: chris at 3Drocketsurgery.com

I'm a windows desktop developer of "engineery type" applications. For example:

- I've sole authored complete CAD and CAM products.

- I've worked on solid modelers for a few years

- I wrote an oscilloscope for displaying real-time signals from networked laser scanner controllers

- I've written graphical visualization controls (OpenGL/C#)

- I developed a machine calibration product for the semiconductor industry. I designed/developed/shipped both a embedded computer version and a laptop version. (Laser micrometers/RS485/C#/WinCE)

- I've written front end (C#/WPF) applications and low level (C++/OpenCV) for aiming industrial lasers.

Currently I'm working on detecting speed, direction and spin of a golf ball immediately after launch using computer vision for a golf simulation company. (C++/OpenCV and original algorithms).

My side project is a "slicer" for 3D printing. The "engine" is written in C++ which I intend to port to the browser using emscripten.

I also not afraid to code close to hardware (I own my own oscilloscope and logic analyzer).

I'm generally the happiest person in any organization that I've worked at. I haven't had a job in the last 2 decades where I didn't look forward to going to work.

Like any self respecting engineer, I love near-impossible problems. I pretty much have only worked on things that I would have worked on for free anyway.

I consider myself an eternal student or perhaps, considering how long I've been doing this, maybe I'm just a bit thick. :-)
They do rate limit you to around 4Mb I believe so you might want to not ship your netflix over them, which it will unless you are careful.
> There's no way digging into the details of the Mailchimp spend structure, for instance, is worth the time.

Actually that's one point where you are not correct. For a good email campaign, it's imperative that you manage your list. You need to be looking at stats from the previous campaigns and making changes for future campaigns. If you have a lot of low-engaged/no-engaged emails, you need to try to re-engage them and/or drop them from your list. If you send 1 email a week to an address for 5 years that never opens, you are literally throwing money away. MailChimp (which we use too) has a lot of very good tools to help prune your list and glean a lot of insights into your engagement rates.

> Paying someone to micromanage the services to get cost savings would cost at least $60,000

Not necessarily. Download a copy of Openfire XMPP server, stick it on one of your spare windows/*nix boxes in the corner, and it will run un-maintained for years. Just cron/schedule the OS updates automatically and it takes no more effort/skill than logging into a website to manage user accounts.

And nobody says they need an expensive seasoned SysAdmin to manage these services. Hire a college student for $15-$18 per hour part time to come in and tidy things up.

There are other opportunities to be had with their list of services, such as taking advantage of the drastically lower cost BitBucket (if they must have their source code repo's external).

There's certainly a lot of waste listed here.
This can be balanced against the fact that you get to invest and compound that deferred tax until you do end up paying it, possibly several years later. So instead of multiplying your account by .65 every year (assuming 35% tax rate), you only multiply it once, at the end.
Wanderers – a short film about interstellar colonization
Plus the hidden cost of setting it up. Example: Backing up Stash - while being relatively straight-forward - comes with some amount of scripting and testing (you do test your backup, do you?).

Not saying Stash is bad (the contrary), but when evaluating cost, evaluate all cost.
It's significant this is a SaaS company using these services. Some of the services have a cost based on team size, while others have a cost based on user base (and usage volume).

Services whose cost is f(team size): CircleCI, Trello, Github

Services whose cost is f(user base): MixPanel, Moz, Shopify

I mention this distinction because the f(team size) services generally offer solid value to any team, being useful and less expensive than paying someone to build the same thing in-house. OTOH the f(user base) products are a lot harder for consumer apps to justify than business apps. They do occasionally offer enterprisey premium features like platinum support, but the main pricing scheme is based on X whatever's per month, and a SaaS company charging lawyers $100/user/month is a lot more likely to afford it than a casual gaming website with a million users and a some ads.

What's more, if you send anything to the email listed in my whois, I'm going to think you're trying to con me before I've even read a single word.
The messages from the first planet seemed like one area where the movie got the physics wrong. The characters said that they were getting just the "ok" message over and over again. But because of the time dilation, the frequency of the "ok" message would have dramatically decreased. I wonder if they could have received it at all.
What makes you say this? Is it based on personal experience, definitions, or some consensus? I have definitely known people who found things interesting but still thought they were hard. I have friends who find math fun and engaging, but also find it hard and (seemingly rightfully so) don't think they're very good at it.
Nearly exactly.

Super cool. I hope to do this kind of thing with my kids one day. Thanks for sharing it.
I guess the surprise is kind of gone. ;)
Wow, are some poor bastards still using WSDL somewhere? I thought it was long dead. Back in 2006 I wrote up a quick bit on why SOAP sucks, my experience of running a couple of Google public SOAP services. Basically none of the stuff you describe actually works. http://www.somebits.com/weblog/tech/bad/whySoapSucks.html
Dude... I don't know how you survived that!

My gallbladder died, went necrotic and nearly killed me in the span of a few short days.

Good on you for finally getting the problem fixed and having an iron constitution, mate. Next time a little less waiting for a second opinion may be in order!
Suggest HN: Stricter Char Limits on Who's Hiring?
The Who's Hiring threads were great when they started because it was mainly limited to people on HN. But now it's obvious word has gotten out and for people looking through the threads it becomes such a chore. Companies are just copying and pasting their standard job descriptions which take up a full screen for each one.

For example, this comment I need to page down 4 times to get through it - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8681941

Would it be possible to have even stricter character limits specifically for the Who's Hiring threads? I think it would help make the postings more focused and geared towards HN rather than just blindly copying and pasting what they have posted elsewhere.
This description might also match a partly-working path MTU discovery (a possibly too-high rate of ICMP egress from HE end to content sites, blocked by rate-limiter on the HE device).

In IPv4 you do not notice it (it almost never triggers) because there is less tunnels and also because generally everyone does MSS clamping. In IPv6, you have the tunnel and not necessarily MSS clamping.

Two ways to tackle it:

- configure on the home router interface facing your LAN, IPv6 MTU less than you have on the tunnel (I have 1400 just because I like round numbers :-) Cleaner because works for (mostly) all protocols.

- configure the first hop router to do MSS clamping for TCP on IPv6 to 20 bytes less than what it currently does (if at all). This will work for only TCP, but that'll be the vast percentage of the traffic you are having problems with.

I think it's latency relative to ipv4. So maybe their ipv4 networks are more congested.

There is a mindmap-like interface for editing n-dimensional structured data. In fact, it's a whole family of interfaces, and it predates the term 'mind map'. It's called zigzag.
