Way to Health, University of Pennsylvania - Philadelphia, PA
Chronic illness and the decisions people make and act upon – from their activity level to taking medications or smoking – drive the vast majority of the $3 Trillion in US healthcare costs. Our team has achieved breakthrough results in changing the behaviors that determine health outcomes, such as doubling adherence to medications that keep people healthy and out of the hospital, and establishing new insights into patient engagement.
These results were enabled by the Way To Health platform, a unique technology asset now poised to move beyond research into broader clinical applications. The role we’re looking to fill is critical to expanding our impact. We need someone who can not only work with our team of internationally recognized thought leaders to identify and implement functionality and designs making interventions more effective, but also has the ability to evolve Way to Health into a scalable clinical platform that can be deployed efficiently in larger populations. The Way to Health developer role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in patients’ lives and their health outcomes.
This role also affords the right candidate a great deal of autonomy in both how you do your work and in crafting a vision for the technology. We’re looking for team members who love problem solving and finding better ways to get things done.
Specific responsibilities include:
* Collaborating with faculty to translate cutting edge research protocols into functionality for patient engagement and behavior change
* Developing new features for individual interventions and for the platform
* Working with the development team to iteratively determine the best way to meet project goals in a timely, robust and scalable manner
* Crafting architectural approaches to drive down the cost of feature development and deployment
* Designing new methods of information delivery and display for increased patient comprehension and response
* Diagnosing reported issues, identifying the source of problems, determining the best path to resolution and implementing fixes
* Evolving and supporting QA processes, writing automated unit and functional tests for new features, documenting work clearly, and finding ways to continuously improve quality
* Participating in an agile development process (we use a modified version of Scrum)
* Working with infrastructure providers to plan for future needs and ensure timely, efficient and reliable delivery

TripleLift - http://triplelift.com/ - New York, NY - Full Time

We're looking for both back and front end developers to help scale our tech. We've found our product market fit and are now focused on execution - we've been redesigning and rewriting a series of applications to be highly performant and concurrent since we're seeing significant volume now and trying to get ourselves ready for the next step.

Our product is a way for website owners to ditch banner ads in favor of native ads that will allow them to design their sites the way they want without having to worry about monetization from the beginning. When they are ready they include a bit of JavaScript and we will dynamically resize/crop ads and leverage their existing HTML to make sure the ads provide a less disruptive experience.

Feel free to email me at dgoldin@triplelift.com with any questions!

I was investigating this the other day, as it happens. Recent research from France (can't find the paper now, sorry) shows that unless you're very, very highly skilled your personal bargaining power is almost zero. What was important however was how many companies were competing for you, how profitable those companies were, and the current state of the economy.

This implies that a negotiation like this is just back-and-forth-ing within some window of acceptability that was probably predetermined before you walked in, and if you want to have a successful salary negotiation and get your prospective (or current) employer to redefine that window, your best bet is to a) orchestrate (some) of these external factors to work in your favour; and b) find a way to get that information into the exchanges without being a dick.

They also noted that doing all this then staying with your current employer was often the best strategy because at the very least you can expect to capture some of the hiring/firing costs associated with replacing you.

It has a few interesting comments about why you can't try the example in the "try" box. It's because the "try" box only accepts expressions, not whole programs. In that thread, there are more details and how to rewrite the example as a onliner to try it in the box.
Seeking pro bono work

I am a senior online marketing professional. I created the online ad program from scratch at a company that grew revenue over 150% from 2013 to over one hundred million dollars in 2014.

I am not interested in a new job or formal consulting, but I do want to give free advice to test out my digital acquisition knowledge in very varied circumstances.

From March, EF participants building media/tech companies will receive extraordinary access to senior executives, operators and buyers within the media world to help them generate, validate and monetise their ideas, over and above the support EF usually provides. The partners at Advancit and Freelands - Jon Miller, Shari Redstone and Elisabeth Murdoch - are some of the world’s most experienced media entrepreneurs and executives

Among many other things, we’re particularly interested in:

Virtual reality - including applications across communication and entertainment

Personalisation driven by machine learning / AI

Short form video

Mobile-first content models

Models and technologies around online talent

Disruptive Content Businesses

eSports

We'll help you to test and generate ideas, sell products, and fund your growth.

APPLY NOW
The Media stream is initially part of our March 2015 programme. Applications are open until 1 March 2015 at http://joinef.com/apply

The application process and selection criteria are the same as for the normal programme. If you have a technology-focused media business idea or have deep technical expertise that could be applied to media, we’d love to hear from you.

My second favorite movie. I think I'll watch it today.
Yahoo News Digest, a notification once every morning and evening on my phone.
The simplicity of this is amazing. On top of that even if somebody figured this out I didn't expect the assortment of animations offered up in the first show off. Would have been impressed with just the shark, but the table flip made it really cool.
Some people may find this surprising, but you shouldn't.
It's simply how the world works. It's repugnant but life is not fair.

Racial discrimination is only the tip of the iceberg. There's also legacy admission and athletes grade fixing. It's also not uncommon for rich parents to hire a professional ghostwriter for the admission essay. College admission as a whole is extremely subjective even if they try to pretend it isn't. After that there's the rampant grade inflation. We can go on and on.

Make no mistakes though, these aren't just inefficiency that happens by oversight. Someone __always__ benefit. They certainly don't feel sorry for you. They may use fancy euphemism to justify their decisions, but we're all adults here. Nobody really believes that bullshit.

College is a business and the only thing you can do is take your money somewhere else.
Until society is ruled by some AI, we'll always have these kinds of problem.

Some things I would recommend if people really want to give away their money and support these evil institutions,
1. Change your name, first and last
2. Check a different box when they ask for your race (or any other bullshit like religion, etc.)

Changing your name has _massive_ implications besides college applications. Humans love to judge especially when they have nothing at stake. If you don't believe me, just apply to a few jobs with different names.

Ask HN: My side project is growing, how do I scale?
I run a SaaS service with steadly growing revenue. Launched about a year ago, and is now making >$6k per month with a pretty high profit margin, and a pretty insane growth rate.

We're coming to a point know where scaling is starting to become an issue (in terms of the business - not the actual app). I'm not ready to quit my full time job just yet, but it seems like the side project easily could use some more dedicated resources. Other concerns are legal/liability issues as we sign more users up since our terms and privacy policy is pretty boilerplate.

I feel like I need a mentor or advisor. Any thoughts on where to start?

SEEKING WORK - Santa Cruz, Bolivia.

I'm the founder of the Oceanis team, and I'm currently in a long term engagement with StackShare[1].

We focus primarily on helping startups get off the ground and taking wishy-washy requirements and turning them into reality - working code.

I'm currently looking for projects the rest of my team can work on. We all speak English fluently (Boston ex-pats) and communicate with clients usually through Slack or Skype. Issue handling either by Trello or JIRA - but it's up to our clients. We generally recommend Trello.

That's why I love that 'cstross quote from [0].

"Libertarianism is like Leninism: a fascinating, internally consistent political theory with some good underlying points that, regrettably, makes prescriptions about how to run human society that can only work if we replace real messy human beings with frictionless spherical humanoids of uniform density"

This holds for other political and economical ideologies as well - they may have some good and important points (that's why they gain followers), but ultimately pure theoretical models rarely work well when applied to the complexities of the real world. One needs to remember that and see places where tradeoffs are needed to be made.

This sounds exactly like the "western" internet to be honest.
Looks great, thanks for sharing :)
I think it's necessary to look for such alternative approaches when the ones we're using are resulting in ~5 bugs per 1k lines of code on average, frequent security issues, crashes, race conditions, etc. Plus the hundreds of man hours spent fixing these problems.

With technology coming more and more into our lives, such that our lives will depend upon it behaving as was intended, we're really going to reach a point where we've got to say enough is enough. The languages (and approaches to development) we're using are not fit for purpose anymore.
A MongoDB story
Note that no school actually penalizes Asian Americans by 50 points or gives 230 points to black applications. This study appears to assume that one's SAT score is the only factor that should be used in college admission and that race is the only explanatory factor for the disparity between admission and scores.

But admissions policies that granted extra "points" based on growing up in a poorly performing school district or the economic status of the parents would also likely generate this sort of distribution.
Thanks Jonas. Unfortunately I think vog is right. It was be awesome if you FOSSed the original source.
Lisp programs are data for the reader ~ in contrast to text for a lexer as is typical in other language families. So long as AST's are in the pipeline from source to execution, the options are lexing [or its equivalent] or writing an AST directly.

SEEKING WORK - The Netherlands or Remote.

I'm an experienced full-stack software developer, team lead and interim CTO. Currently bootstrapping CEO at http://klets.co, but I do occasionally have time to help people get their team or their stack up and running. Do get in touch!

Keyword soup: C#/.NET, JavaScript, TypeScript, ReactJS, Flux, Java, Scala, C++ and Python, Elixir (Erlang VM), Xamarin, PhoneGap/Cordova, PostgreSQL, Mono, DDD, Scrum, Kanban, Lean.

As an engineer, I specialize in ReactJS based projects and CQRS backends. I've been the lead engineer and architect for three React-based projects up until now, including http://www.izooble.com, if you'd like a sizeable showcase.

React does not dictate your frontend software architecture. Depending on your needs and your team's existing skills, very different architectures may be best. I can help you figure this out so that we're productive very fast but still produce good and maintainable code from the get-go.

As a team lead, I specialize in cutting away the nonsense and getting a team highly productive in startup-like environments. I accomplish this with a lightweight, non-religious, and highly reflective agile process, together with a pragmatic focus on internal software quality. This focus ensures that the team is productive today and also next month.

Ask HN: What do you wear to programming interviews?
I have two interviews coming up this week. Originally I hadn't planned on wearing a full suit, but after talking to a few friends I've been second guessing that decision. My friends sort of agreed wearing a suit is "something to check off the list" for an interview candidate? Is this true? Even if the company's style is no suit, should I wear one just for formality? Does it matter that much?

edit Since people seem to have the wrong impression, I never planned on walking in dressed like a slob. A button down shirt, tucked into nicer pants with nicer shoes on. Maybe a tie if I could find one that looked nice. I just never planned on wearing a full matching suit.
Learn X in Y is pretty cool as a high level overview of a programming language. But I really like How I Start[0] because it focuses on how a programmer, often times the language creator or at the very least a prevalent user of the language, goes about starting a library or project. Nim also has an entry on How I Start[1]

Why not simply use shortcut keys? These are more efficient than having to grab to the mouse, especially on an editor, on which most the the time both your hand are at the keyboard anyway.

Bitmessage is for private conversations. I assume the same is true for Whisper. I think Twister is mainly about censorship-free public conversations (like Twitter, without the censorship part - see Turkey, etc).
Their pay hinges on your belief that they care about you which is why they learn to act. Well acted kindness will always seem better than sincere kindness. Just look at movies if you don't believe me, the good actors there seem more living and real than your average joe on the street. And above all they wouldn't let others write their speeches if they were sincere.

"In February 2015, the news will be completely turned over to you.
Access is first-come, first-served. Reserve your space now."

How do I do that? It's March and all I can see is that text.
The study at the core of this article appears to make the assumption that SAT scores are the only factor that ought to be considered when making college admissions decisions. But I don't think that's right. Certainly the mission of these universities is not solely to educate the best test-takers in the world.

And unless I missed it there's also no evidence that the schools studied actually do use race in their admissions decisions. There are a variety of other factors that could be considered which would end up skewing the admissions results on the basis of race. Should colleges not be allowed to give extra consideration to students from poorly performing schools simply because doing so might have the effect of giving "bonus points" to African American or Hispanic applicants?
