CITYMAPPER (LONDON, UK). https://citymapper.com Full time software engineers in London. (We will consider relocating exceptional candidates.)

Recent HN post! (help us solve the problems mentioned) Citymapper is what happens when you understand user experience https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8238260

We're building one of the most important apps on mobile, an urban transport app built on the back of open data, to help navigate and use cities.

We're a VC-backed startup (Balderton, Index, Greylock, Connect) based in London with a team with backgrounds from Google, academia and startups.

We're looking for great people first and foremost, but especially the following roles:

- Platform engineer. Be responsible for our infrastructure in the cloud, shape the tool chain, and ensure that the moving parts of our system can communicate, so that we can expand to all the cities in the world.

- Routing. We're reinventing getting from A to B in the world of mobile, multi modal and real-time data.

- Android and iOS developers. We're reimagining mobile interfaces and developing all the features that we dream about. You care about the "little big details" and know the grotty implementation details required to make things work across a range of devices and future platforms.

- Data pipeline/data science/analytics. We're building an omnivorous transport data processor that fuses together loads of data sources, and a psychic city brain.

- Software engineers. We're looking for great engineers to solve a range of other big problems, including search, data analysis, natural language processing. We use a lot of P Python, and some C and Java.

SEEKING WORK - remote highly preferred, based in Germany

I do custom electronics, robotics, and embedded software development - I specialize in quickly turning ideas into prototypes. I've built custom automation equipment for chemistry labs, sensors that are in use in household/utility applications, control circuitry for construction equipment, 3d printing electronics, data acquisition equipment. No project too small. Few projects too large. Deep discounts for open source hardware work.

I would also be happy to come over (anywhere in Europe) and teach any of the above skills to a small group of interested people. I've taught courses in 3d printing (building/using printers, iterative design using programming) and robot design and construction.

A library is a public institution and thus is not really the same as thinking it as a "non profit". It could be thought of an organisation that the public has shares in, that the public are the angel investors in. Thus, we, the people, have an investment in a library. Allowing a private corporation to run a part of our institutions effectively dilutes the investment of the angel investors.

This changes the thinking about money and sustainability from non-profit, charity through to for-profit to one of a public ownership.

The lessons that we the investors (and thus as a kind of board member) in our public institutions are making is that big public spirited helpful corporations are ultimately corporations, and will ultimately behave as such. And we should never allow our investments to be diluted in this way again.
In my massive company's IT org, there is a specific architect role and they do everything wrong that you could think of with slowing work down, being disengaged etc.

But in the actual engineering side of the business the software engineer groups are not labeled as such except maybe within a team. Everyone is a software engineer and the level 4 or 5 SWE simply makes design decisions. They review code, optimize stuff, rip things apart, sometimes end up trashing it all, never commit anything, etc. But if they find some major change that needs to happen THEN it flows down for us to implement and commit.

Works incredibly well. But this is at a lower level... say a team of 5-10 people.
Erlang is a functional language; functional languages are different. They really need proper linked lists as a built-in default "list" data structure.
> Except where they can't, and those locations aren't terribly consistent.

Why aren't they consistent? The Rust type inference is generally very good, and the places where you have to annotate are places where any typechecker would force you to annotate, because the types are simply underconstrained (e.g. the return type of Vec::collect or mem::transmute).

> The Rust designers have publicly announced their preference for explicitness over inference, and the language reflects that.

As the original author of the typechecker, I can state that the idea that we intentionally made the type inference less powerful than it could have been is totally false. It's always been as powerful as we could make it, except for interface boundaries (where type annotation is needed because of separate compilation anyway).

Applying Eigenvalues to the Fibonacci Problem
As I read this story, Nokia appear to have a reasonable complaint in this case.

It looks like they have spent significant resources building a brand around that particular term in a closely related field, including registering trademarks. It then looks like a start-up has come along, not checked on the viability of its own proposed branding before adopting it, and run straight into basic laws about trademarks and passing off.

Maybe a real lawyer can tell us otherwise, but as far as I can see the fact that "here" is a widely used word in the English language doesn't seem to matter. After all, it's not as if you'd get far starting an on-line text editor and putting a big button labelled "Word" on the home page so you could write your first word.

Being a start-up doesn't entitle you not to follow the same laws as everyone else (notwithstanding the wishful thinking we sometimes see on certain Internet forums!) so if the report is accurate then it seems like Nokia do have reasonable grounds to object.

(Edit: Just to be clear, I'm not expressing any opinion on whether I think generic terms should be protected by the law, I'm only commenting on the situation as, to the best of my knowledge, it actually is today. Also, there are two distinct uses of the term "here" by the start-up mentioned in the article, one a prominent feature of one app and the second the name of a separate app, and I'm not arguing that these should or will necessarily be treated the same way. But launching an app with the same name as someone else's registered brand in a related field seems ill-advised.)

Wow, Facebook has been the exact opposite for me. When Google Reader started becoming too much work to manage, and its closure was on the radar, I moved to Facebook and decided to follow all the brands, companies, and people I'm interested in hearing from, much like what I did in Reader with RSS feeds. After that, I "Unfollowed" everyone I didn't want to hear from me. My news feed turned into exactly what I wanted it to– a resource where I can see everything important at glance. I separated things out into lists, and I made better, more targeted ways to find stories.

It's constantly gotten better with things like "Followers vs Friends", Facebook pushing comments from your friends to the top, Facebook collecting "Shares" towards the top of your feed, lists, displaying links in a more attractive way, etc.

And tastemakers and power users are using it more than ever.

I don't know of any other way to stay connected to the things that matter other than Facebook. Twitter is just a noisy stream of links and quips that you can't keep up with. Linkedin is just awful.

Reddit, HN and things like Techmeme are pretty much the only other places where the curation around topics are really good.

That's just one side of story. On the other hand given how much Facebook supposedly knows, it could prioritize better what's shown in the news feed. There are high chances that even these people who are complaining, still have a couple of friends who post interesting stuff.

I love building API-backed apps and complete services. My experience includes building a niche SaaS product, writing the first iteration of Hackathon.io, and as a Tech PM at DocuSign. My ideal company would be a small team based in the Bay Area that wants passionate developers to contribute to building an amazing product or service in a short time frame.
Especially the writing bit...
Note that the amounts in the article are not factually correct. Its really not $138. Its actually:

A.) max. 2500kn (croatian kuna) or $367 USD for singles
B.) max. 1250kn or $183 per household member (so for families of 4 it would be $183 x 4)

This is obviously for the poorest of the society that have had their accounts blocked for debt longer than 360 days. Most working people in Croatia would not be able to meet that criteria - minimal state-imposed gross salary for 2015 is 3030kn ($445 USD). People also tend to mix net and gross amounts (everything salary-related in Croatia is usually presented as a gros amount - while in the US/EU its usually net). Not an insignificant difference because Croatia has some of the highest taxes in the world.

I agree from my experience, especially with open source, that you need a person (or rarely, a junta) applying architecture.

But if that person isn't _also_ one of the coders, getting their hands dirty, their architecture will be no good.

Recently someone linked on HN to a study of succesful open source projects, that found that even the most successful ones only had few -- or often one -- person making most of the commits.

My interpretation of those findings is that it's representing this state of affairs. Although I think there's probably a way to preserve the benefits of a strong hand on architecture without having that person making all/most of the commits -- but they've got to be making some of them, to ground their plans.
One of the article's main point was that the mission has changed, its no longer about "all the worlds information" because it (storing old historical information) doesn't help their business.

Discretizing your domain into a grid doesn't necessarily imply you're solving the problem in question using cellular automata. I'm not familiar with the specifics of GFS, but it's common to model physical phenomena using the finite difference method.

It's newsworthy and interesting because they're running the same exact model on two different computers and it's yielding wildly divergent results. It'd be as if you took the same CA rules with the same initial state and it ran differently on two different computers.

It's tricky because these discrepancies are probably due to subtle differences like the way the new CPUs are handling the floating point calculations.
It's the functional way to believe that the elegance of a singly linked list means that it is the right choice for the implementation, instead of something more complex and unwieldy that can fold both ways in the same time, for example.

I can't think of any use case for this that you can't already get with hardware random number generators that computers have built-in. For most people TRNG's are only useful for things like generating keys and such, something that not much entropy is needed for. Typing in random letters and hashing them would suffice.
It's certainly an option for an update. I think for the first version I just wanted to get it out there, see if it helped people's writing & work flow.
"If lenders think this can happen again they will charge very high interest rates to low-income borrowers"

SEEKING FREELANCER - London (UK) or Remote

I'm the solo founder of a self-funded company, building a unique customer analytics product (http://gini.io). I've built the first version of the product myself, and am now looking for help with the development so that I can spend more time on sales and marketing.

The product is a Ruby on Rails 4 app, hosted on Heroku with a Postgres database. It makes heavy use of a few APIs - Intercom, FullContact, LinkedIn. There is very little Javascript at the moment, but this might change as we add new features.

I need someone whose primary experience is in writing and running Rails apps in production. If Rails is just something you've dabbled in a bit, then you won't be a good fit.

I'll pay a fair rate, but as a self-funded solo founder, I can't afford to pay London/SF senior dev rates. So, the ideal candidate would be someone remote with a competitive rate, or someone local who's a bit junior and looking to gain some experience.

Email me at hrishimittal@gmail.com with specific examples of your Rails experience and why you think you'll be perfect for this role.

To quote a TV personality:

"How were you able to start this with only $20,000?"

The restaurant business is particularly hard to break into: you need to rent the space, purchase all of the equipment (each piece of industrial kitchen equipment can run from the single to double digit thousands), furnish the interior, get certified, hire employees and stock perishables (including dishes), all before you can even serve one customer.

> Explicit returns are frowned upon

That's not true in any of the code I write. I prefer explicit returns in all of my Rust code. The only time I use the "result from last expression" return is when it's the last statement in the function.

The recommended way to deal with errors in Rust is "try!". Using "try!" essentially gives you the ergonomics of exceptions. You should prefer that to match or .and_then(), which are verbose.

The job title used to be 'systems analyst'. And that job was fairly essential to getting a large system with a lot of moving parts to work together as a whole. For projects of a certain size someone needs to have the higher level overview.

Now, plenty of those calling themselves 'software architects' could not code if their life depended on it, but as an alternative to being put out to pasture analysts tended to be a bit older and a bit more knowledgeable than us 'code monkeys' as you put it, but I learned more from those analysts than I did from my pears about proper software design.
