San Francisco - Close - Python Developer- Scalable, Distributed Systems. Contract to Hire Ideal

We are a well funded, stealth mode startup, (located in San Francisco’s SoMa district), building out an API, serving up a new way to obtain search results for hundreds of thousands of simultaneous clients. We are looking for the next member of our team, a strong, experienced python developer to help build out our backend, indexes and crawlers.

This role is hands-on, and you will be in the trenches, contributing to our codebase and making sure the lights are on. We are looking for someone who is able to dive in and help address complex challenges without the need for handholding. You will need to use your judgment to avoid getting sidetracked in minor details, and to keep a focus on quality and excellence without losing sight of tactical needs. We’re looking for someone with a collaborative style, who knows when to take initiative and when to defer to the judgment of the team. You will also need to be able and willing to write a lot of unit and integration tests.

Ideally, you will have real-world experience with one or more of the following: asynchronous workers, ElasticSearch/Lucene, Docker, graph databases, segmentation of graph data along organizational boundaries, distributed algorithms, data analysis, ApacheStorm, Samza, Spark, Titan, Hadoop/HBase,triple stores, and/or implementation details relating to API security, rate limiting, monitoring and billing. You will also work with JSON and third-party APIs, daily.

A contract-to hire arrangement is preferred, and there will be opportunity to grow with the position as our company grows. We are excited about the problems we are tackling in our space: https://medium.com/@jennielees/the-joy-of-data-a1d3757d3567

We would love to hear your thoughts on how to build an architecture that will allow for replay, from some previous point in time, and handle incoming events instead of batch processing.

Interested? Contact us today - sheryl@node.io

Ok, no problem.
However once again that is not true and it has to do with the underlying mathematical structure (for which + and * are defined). Here is an easy way to think about:
Imagine a filing cabinet with 3 drawers. Drawer 1 has papers "0", "3", "-3", "6", "-6" and so on. Drawer 2 has papers "1", "4", "-2", "-5" and so on. Drawer 3 has papers "2", "-1", "5", "-4", "8" and so on. So how do we add the two papers? Well you simply look at the numbers so "1" and "2", for example, and you add them -- we get "3". Now where do we put it under? Drawer 1, as it has the "3" in it. Or say we want to multiply "4" and "2", we just "multiply" and get "8", so it goes into Drawer 3. Now I say Drawer 1 should be labeled "0", Drawer 2 "1", and Drawer 3 "-1". But you might call me a sinner and a liar and say that Drawer 3 is "2". But it doesn't matter! "-1" and "2" are both equally valid and can be used as labels. Heck, you could even call it "8".

Prisons are a dark and sad place. the guards inevitably turn into monsters that treat the inmates as subhuman, and the inmates develop all kinds of mental issues from being locked in a cage 24/7. Putting a person in a cage is a horrifying act. It's a relic of the dark ages that has no place in an enlightened society. Reforming the prison system ultimately has to be about turning prison into a place of rehabilitation instead of punishment.
tar (which is what you mean) could do this, but until OSX Macs didn't ship with tar. DMG (technically the UDIF file format) came about as a continuation of .img files (the NDIF file format); there had already been built up some ecosystem around .img and .smi files and Apple wasn't going to suddenly switch to thinking in terms of tar files when they didn't have to.

Plus, a UDIF image can be simply passed to the kernel as a loopback image for a block device, and the files on it will then be discovered as plain files. For the same to work with tar or zip files, Apple would have had to introduce either something like the concept of Plan9/FUSE-like server processes that translate arbitrary backing stores into filesystem mounts; or break the universal abstraction of a filesystem by creating a higher-level shell namespace that could "see into" archives (like Windows and GNOME do) making OSX's Unix integration much less useful.

Mainly, though, it's that zip and tar are archival file formats. They're suboptimal for doing random-access updates on their contents, which is an important use-case of disk image formats. DMGs exist on OSX for the same reason that VHD(X)s exist on Windows: it turns out they're just a pretty great and flexible format for doing a lot of things OSes want to do.
I see. Will definitely try to minimize gimmicks for the sake of the eyes. Thanks for your encouragement!
My personal theory is that it is related to /etc. As most people who work in Linux know, this directory is usually pronounced "etsy". Because it's a website, and they sell random kinds of stuff, I have a hunch there is a connection. I could be completely wrong.

>I click checkout and it tells me to just go pick up the item from Radio Shack on 6th and Weidler.

I'd much prefer it showing up at my door in two days and would view this as a major UX detriment. It may not be a common feeling, but the opportunity cost of spending an hour or so running errands to various brick and mortar locations around town multiple times a week is a major reason I'm a prime member and do a huge amount of my shopping through Amazon.
"Non-standard" doesn't necessarily mean "shiny".
Often you need to compose elements in a way that makes a certain UI feature possible, or convenient.
Such compositions aren't inherently shiny; they can even be ugly. But functional.

In WF it's very hard & tedious.
I couldn't scroll down, so I clicked randomly. Pages turned after a short delay and on occasion never so it took me

a) a while to figure out the relationship between clicks and things happening on the screen

b) no idea how to go forward or back, it seemed to be occurring essentially at random until I remembered some mobile apps that put page turn forward back onto the left and right halves of the screen, until I read the comments in this post, it never occurred to me to use the keyboard since that's unlike the rest of the web.

the lack of scrolling was problematic when pagination is poor, I see just the header of the Film table, but it cuts off after that, until I figured out how page turning worked I thought scrolling was broken

I can't tell if this is intended for mobile or desktop, but comments below seem to indicate it's for desktop. If so, it's not very good for it. The regular WP page is a far better usability experience. If it's for mobile (I haven't tested it), it might be "ok". But some recent experience I'd had with readers has made me think that a continuous scroll makes for a better reading experience on tablets/phones than page flipping.

I think it's trying to mimic the use-flow of the internet archive e-book reader, but without separate pages you can't figure out how to turn them, and without a single-page vertical scroll mode it's equally confusing.

When the pages turn, the next page does a weird little slide in also, I guess this is supposed to look like a page flattening out in a book or something, but there's no 3d effect to indicate this and instead it looks like my browser is struggling to figure out where to position the content on the page...it looks broken-ish, or as the kids say "janky".

Hitting page up/down makes my browser do something really crazy for a minute (fold proteins, factor primes or something), I suspect the page is prefetching content, it smoothed out after the initial whatever it was doing. I still have no idea where in the article it goes.

Somehow this is confusing both single page viewing with two-page layup user interface.

It also somehow manages to show less information while taking up more screenspace (no infobox and instead a table of contents).

It's almost like somebody went through and wherever there was a choice of worse or better, they always chose the worse way to do things.

Some people say that the difference between Star Trek:TNG and the newer Battle Star Galactica series is that when faced with the same ethical dilemma, Adama always chose the opposite of what Picard would choose. This is kind of like the BSG of text readers.

Don't take it too harshly, BSG was still a great series. With a bit of work this could be a great mobile interface for WP.

Edit:
Yeah, much better on my tablet. If the desktop experience is a 3/10 mobile is a 6.
Was that module ever won by the first groups to encounter it?
I think you're blaming capitalism for a bad incentive structure internal to companies. Yes, many decisions are made to further the interests of the stakeholders of the business, and many of these things damage the business itself. But without paying people in stock, this problem largely goes away (not that improving executive compensation is so near-perfect that one change makes it immune from agency problems or conflicts of interest -- clearly other things need to be done).

Thanks for your response, understood. I'm new to FreeBSD and as a result I didn't find the announcement clear enough to know.

Is there any chance the quarterly approach may get stretched out to cover a longer time period? Anything would be helpful to give busy sysadmins breathing room.
Your definition sounds fine to me!
Very nice. For long form reading, I believe paging is a more fluid reading experience than scrolling because the location of the next line is consistent. Any chance of open sourcing the code?
Pagination has the opposite of value.

It lacks affordance.

It means my tools don't work as expected (ie, the scroll button doesn't work)

It means I can't use long screens to view two parts of the same article at once.

One good thing about it is that URLs work well to link to specific sections.

Article: Family Bullying Within the Home
I think that in the various scenarios the author depicts, there are too many "then a miracle occurs" steps [0]. For example, for an ASI to develop, a reasonably intelligent AGI is required first. But even getting to an AGI which is as intelligent as your average human, is very, very hard, and it doesn't just spring to life from an advanced ANI on a fast processor.

The second step is even harder: Let's assume an AGI with an IQ of 100 exists, then it's supposed to recursively improve itself within a short time. Well, so far, humans have failed to improve themselves, and they had

1) a lot more time, think decades of neural research,

2) a lot more resources, especially lots of humans working on the problem, exchanging ideas and knowledge,

3) most of which are a lot more intelligent than an IQ of 100.

So yeah, AGI -> ASI won't happen within hours, days, or even years. Maybe decades, if not longer.

U3

http://stats.oecd.org/index.aspx?queryid=36324

One of the reasons the U3 definition won't be changed (or alternately, why the other U rates were created) is that it's harmonized with the other OECD countries' rates. So, say, a 6% unemployment rate means the same thing in the U.S., Germany, Japan, Greece, etc.

Quartz Composer has these features. You can zoom and also group components into a "patch" with its own set of inputs and outputs.

I've had some success using QC for prototyping animations and custom UI controls for iOS, then later hand coding them in CoreGraphics. I got the idea from the Facebook devs who developed... I forget the name of the app. Anyway, would have been great if Quartz compositions were directly importable to iOS.
Assault is assault. There's a law that covers it. It doesn't consider whether the victim is someone you like or not. It doesn't consider whether the perpetrator is someone you like or not. Secret terrorist lists are a genuine WTF for common assault which occurs and is dealt with many thousand times a week in the justice system.

Are you paid to advance such obvious crap? Are you posting against what you believe to try and stir up action? Are you trying to curry favour and get government contracts? It just doesn't make a lot of sense play the apologist so badly.

That's a nice summary on the quality on web technologies.

Five years seems like a long time to support an OS release, especially for a volunteer project. Do you know if there was any consideration/discussion around a shorter lifecycle (like 3 or 4 years)?
Your website doesn't list the jobs you're hiring for, the industry you're in isn't very glamorous, nobody want to commute to San Bruno (you either live north or south and driving from one side sucks and driving from the other means you need a car) and I'm guessing low pay and little perks as far as new/fun technology.

Your website is listed on your profile, and I pulled the above together in about 2-3 minutes.
I've seen this a handful of times, where someone with legit science credentials will say something like "the lesson of science is" and then follow it up with an entirely philosophical conclusion. Like "... there is no purpose to the universe" (that comes from Dr. Jerry Coyne.) I'm not aware of any scientific experiment or framework to test the hypothesis that there is or isn't a purpose to the universe, nor even the possibility of creating such an experiment. But a fairly well renowned scientist made that claim -- essentially a philosophical-religious claim -- under the label of science.

I wouldn't say that does more harm to science than creationists etc. Instead, I'd say it contributes to the same mentality. It treats science as a label for a certain belief system, rather than a label for a set of processes and the data/explanations tied to those processes. As you say, it replaces scientific epistemology with religious epistemology -- stripping away the thing that makes science universal, and replacing it with something that makes it tribal.
Quite, pretty much zero supporting evidence.

INALB from what I understand, getting certified as a B Corp depends on meeting a number of pre-determined conditions. As long as the company is in compliance with a specific percentage of these conditions, they qualify. From what I remember, it can be well under half. In other words, maintaining their charter does not depend on rigid adherence to the specific set of conditions they initially conformed with at founding, just that they conform with a set number of standards for social responsibility.

The real point is that shareholders can't force the company out of general compliance. Meanwhile, managers retain considerable latitude in determining how they will remain in compliance as the company grows and evolves.
My reaction when seeing the price was "Woah".

I'm working hard enough for our company to pay $2 per user for HipChat.

$9 per user is very expensive when it comes to these services at scale. I can see this on a team of 10-15 people, but certainly not on a company wide basis.
"If he were to dedicate himself to the activity as a full-time job, he says, finding various discarded treasures, refurbishing and selling them off, he’s confident he could pull in at least $250,000 a year"

The time it takes to dumpster dive and re-sell on ebay/craigslist would be a 70 hour/week job (unless you hired employees, which I don't think would work very well).

It sounds like he enjoys it, but I think there are better ways to spend ones time.

The problem with freshwater is not that the global supply is limited, rather that supplies in some high-population areas are.

The Amazon river sends 209,000 cubic meters into the Atlantic every second[1]. That's 18,100,000,000 per day. A single human drinks about two liters (0.02 cubic meters) every day. There are 7 billion humans, so the global requirement is 140,000,000 cubic meters of water. The Amazon alone contains 130 times more than the global requirement for drinking water.

This is domestic consumption, which comprises 10% of water usage[2]. That means that 13 times more water flows through the Amazon than all of humanity uses. That's just one river.

> There is the GATTACA argument that unequal access to genetic modification will foster even greater socioeconomic inequality than we already face today.

Absolutely nothing we can do artificially will have as great of an impact than genetically gifted individuals having children together ... which is already happening and has been happening for eons ... I mean, that's what evolution is. The smart get smarter, the fast get faster, the strong get stronger, and the inferior disappear from the gene pool.

If anything, genetic modification will allow the less gifted to pool funds and improve their own gene pool in a way that was simply not possible before.

Now, I think all of this is futile, for reasons touched in GATTACA. It is my absolute most favorite movie. Watch it again =)
I haven't had much exposure to pair programming, but it's really important to remember that it's ok to ask for control! Both team members should feel open to request and give way access as you go along.

Then why would anyone build native applications when Windows apps would be WORA? The only incentive I see for Apple is that they are in many ways a hardware company first. They want to sell hardware and this is one reason they haven't feared bootcanp.

Years ago I saw a demo of a Windows subsystem running an ELF Apache server directly on Windows NT. It isn't anything that Microsoft would release though, because once you make it so Windows can run Linux applications, who is going to write Windows apps? It erodes the platform.

I see an official WINE for OSX, that has a perfectly working subsystem, introducing the same problems to that ecosystem.
>Someone left in an ambulance.

And you think that was by design. A guy said "Hey, I think I'll go ruin their books and their dinner, and then I'll maim one of them half to death pour encourager les autres? No, someone fell on broken dinnerware and received a cut(s).

>We don't consider the substance of their positions when we rightfully send them to prison for doing that.

We do, according to you. That's exactly what we're doing when we maintain terrorist watch lists of people who have committed no crimes, or when the crimes are as minor as this dinner crashing, or the Olympic flag burning. In the dinner crashing, tellingly, Hammond was found guilty of disorderly conduct and sentenced to four days in jail.

>The antidote to bad speech is more speech, not violence.

I'm not making a unqualified defense of Hammond's behavior. I'm saying that it isn't terrorism.
'No doubt' is a figure of speech. But in species where there aren't any pain signals at all, my case is strengthened. I've skimmed the page you link: doesn't it just assume that 'pain experience' implies suffering? But this is contradicted by the testimony of cancer patients on opiates or Hindu saints undergoing surgery without anaesthesia. They feel the pain but it doesn't bother them.

Oh hell no. This gives silly issues like Lenny's pigz being broken for like 4 years. Or OpenSuse's crappy model which shipped a shitty version of kde4 long after it had become stable elsewhere.
Great, but it's too late. .NET will still be the Windows-only technology. (I do know Mono) .NET becomes too big and too complex. I don't think it's easy to make it cross-platform.
Not to mention you can actually get tax breaks for giving to charities, meaning you can stop giving taxes to the Govt and start to give it towards a "program" you care about. Less bombs and more beds.
I agree. Xamarin guys have done a great job at delivering cross platform UI, making C# first class on most platform, but their API's still lag behind .Net official framework and are stuck to the .Net 4.0 era.

So that .Spotlight-V100 store some kind of index, probably binary. I presume that any Mac reads it on any arbitrary USB drive it's plugged in (or, at least, when a search is triggered). By creating a specially-crafted, corrupted index I see a channel for denial of service attacks.
