TheLadders - NYC Office

TheLadders mission is to help professionals improve their career. Its something we all have and few of us really know what we are doing. We seek to leverage technical solutions to what is a fundamentally human endeavor.

We're looking for excellent engineers who are interested in collaborating with their engineering, product, data science and marketing colleagues to create great products for our customers.

Some tech we use to accomplish that:

Backbone.js, iOs, Android, Scala, Java, RabbitMQ, Storm, ElasticSearch.

We believe in investing in our engineers and have a generous training stipend. Additionally, we seek to foster a culture that values learning and collaboration. To learn more about our engineering culture check out these posts from our engineering blog:

Connexity - Camarillo, CA (Los Angeles area)

We're seeking a Rails developer with a keen interest in both technical challenges and business opportunity. We work at a scale where seemingly "small" improvements can have a big impact.

We do online display advertising, and run 50 to 100 million impressions each day. Our total transaction volume is between 5 and 10 billion per day.

As you might have guessed, we're not serving that volume through Rails itself. Our Rails app is used to administer hundreds of advertising campaigns across hundreds of publisher sites.

This role is a great way to learn advertising tech as well as other tools.

In addition to the conventional Rails work, you'd get hands on experience with Redis, Hbase, PostgreSQL, and Scala. Several on the team started in the Rails app and have moved into other areas of interest (low-latency RTB bidder written in C or sophisticated reporting and optimization). Not really possible to get bored around here unless you're a boring person.

Our team is sharp and works well together. We enjoy perks such as paid lunch, a 9/80 schedule (to get every other Friday off) and unlimited vacation; the culture of our team recognizes and respects the importance of your non-work life. Also, Ventura county is a pretty nice place to live/work. Unless you prefer to start with a HR-oriented chat, you can reach me (a lead engineer on the team) at david.larsen@connexity.com.
What about http://letsworkshop.com - they have a minimum budget in place so that cuts out the low end immediately.

MLK said this in his famouse speech "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." [0]

This is so sad with what many colleges/states are pushing for now. I am all for college admission policy to help out low incoming group, based on his/her economy status, which the children were born into, but not discrimination based on skin color, which the children were born with.

Did the person (being quoted from three steps away, I'll note) actually say that "70% women is more diverse than 60% women" or are you just assuming that's what was meant because the person agreed with the general statement that more women would improve diversity? In most workplaces that is true.

> t is a consequence of how templates work and compatibility with C toolchain as a way to get C++ adopted in the early days.

Not at all! It's a programming style, nothing else. Compare this "Header-only library to expose C++ classes and functions into V8" to the real V8. The latter doesn't use 'header-only', template-only C++. Why? Because Google cannot do it? No, because it makes no sense for real-world programming.
I find some of the comments on here along the lines of 'I don't bother with the news because it doesn't immediately directly affect me' to be a little worrying.

In an era where power is increasingly concentrated, centralized and opaque, we need responsible citizens to become more engaged. A prerequisite for this is that people take an active interest in what's going on in the world, even at the expense of their immediate personal interests.

You can't avoid politics; if you ignore it you're just deferring to other people who'll make decisions for you. Cynicism is the enemy of a decent society.

Patchman (http://www.patchman.co) - Enschede, The Netherlands (or remote) - Full time

Hosting providers suffer on a daily basis from the consequences of the many security vulnerabilities
found in commonly used PHP applications such as WordPress, Drupal and Joomla. It is a frequently
used entry point to deface customer’s websites and upload/execute malware. Besides this being a
significant security risk, it also causes an unstable hosting platform and unhappy customers.

Patchman patches vulnerabilities before they get exploited. Best of all, customers won't even notice! Patchman helps hosting providers to achieve substantial savings in operational costs, increase customer happiness and reduce their churn rate. To support Patchman’s rapid growth, we’re looking to expand its team.

> and my "OS" taskbar/menubar, that, is not possible today

Please articulate why you do not believe that is possible.

> Yes, and not connecting to those site on an open WiFi hotspot is still a good practice. Again, HTTPS or not.

Please articulate why you believe that is good practice.

Don't say "common sense". State the underlying basis of your belief.

And finally, please explain why, even if everything you believe is accurate, it is somehow a negative thing to prevent attacks from being carried out on users who do not share your beliefs and paranoia. Social darwinism?

Actually, one more: Even if no one did any of these things on open wifi, they would still be vulnerable to these attacks, since every internet connection is vulnerable, so please explain why protecting people who do share your beliefs is a bad idea.

Nope, still got another: I travel for work with some frequency, including internationally. When doing so, frequently my only available option is open wifi. Please explain why my livelihood should be destroyed because you, an admitted non-expert, believe using open wifi is a bad idea?

Oh, hey, yet another: Please explain why, even if doing these things were unsafe now, you oppose efforts to make them safe!
Yes, actually. MH 370 and Ukraine are two stories that began in March of last year. They're still relevant today.

The news is a collection of stories. The big ones last a long time. If you want to sound like an informed world citizen, you should keep up on the big stories. It's not always easy to tell which stories will be big, but if you start following them early, it's easy to keep up with them.
I use pinboard, which I think is a fork of the old delicious bookmark service. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinboard_%28website%29

Delicious was exactly what I wanted, except it was very annoying for me, as I had to think about keeping links private.

Pinboard is exactly what I want, as I don't have to struggle to keep my bookmarks private.

It costs about $10 for however long they stay in business. You can pay a yearly fee (I forget how much), which gives them revenue (please stay in business!), and return they archive the contents of everything you mark.

It's not a browser synchronizer, because the marks are kept on their server.

However, every bookmark can be tagged, with one or more tags. Any tag, or any combination of tags, has an associated RSS feed. Firefox has Live Bookmarks, which look like bookmarks but it's an RSS reader. So if I tag a bookmark at work, it's available at home because I've set up a live bookmark to view that RSS feed. It's brilliant.

Which isn't exactly what you were asking for, but if you can view these RSS feeds some way in chrome and safari (I have no idea), then you get sort of what you're wanting, and independent of a particular browser.
Product Designer - REMOTE.

Grasswire https://grasswire.com is a real-time newsroom that's curated and fact-checked by everyone.

Fresh off the closing of a seed round from our dream team of investors and with a passionate and growing user base, we're looking for a designer to join our three-person team. Creating a crowdsourced newsroom is something that has never truly been done before, and we are looking for someone who can own the product from original design to final implementation.

Grasswire has offices in New York City, New Jersey and Provo, Utah. Our team works remotely, coming together face-to-face for occasional strategy sessions.

About the Job:
We're looking for a designer who can go from brainstorming with the team to sketches to pixel-perfect mockups quickly and with thought.

We are designing not only for web, but for mobile and email.

We work intensely during the days, and enjoy and appreciate work-life balance during the evenings. You won't be expected to work many weekends or 16-hour days, but expect to work hard when you're at work.

Because this is remote position, communication is inherently difficult. We need someone who can be accessible at all times during work hours, and who can communicate effectively even when not face-to-face.

This is a full time position.

Benefits:
Highly competitive compensation package (Silicon Valley/NYC salary level)
Flexible Schedule
Work from home if desired (no commute!)
Monitor(s) of choice
Stock Options

We're looking for a UX engineer, with an eye for clean design and usability, and strong technical skills (HTML, CSS, Javascript)

We run FormAssembly.com, a SaaS that helps enterprises build online forms and power their business processes without the need for IT.

To apply, go to http://formassembly.workable.com/jobs/25749 or email jobs [at] formassembly.com
One's SAT score is not a measure of the content of one's character. In any case, the study being quoted here did not give any evidence that race was even being used as a factor in admissions decisions.

If you favor giving bonus points based on one's economic status, then that will correlate to the same sort of results this study revealed, with black and hispanic populations being over-represented versus an admissions policy based purely on standardized test scores.
Can we dispel the myth of tech companies as being super lax when it comes to attire? (Presuming this is a tech company since you asked on HN and mentioned programming). The last thing I would wear to an interview is something casual and slacker. You want to give the impression that you've come there to work hard, so at least make the effort. If you wear the same hoodie you've been wearing since you were 12, you will be immediately cast off as incompetent. Make an effort.
You should put the .css and .js on the frontpage (some people don't know how to use github). Also some basics explanation on how to use it would be nice as well. I'm using right now and I just see the background no event get displayed.

Also Haml is cool but it makes your project hard to understand if you do not use haml (like me).

edit:fixed halm->haml, thx :)
We've elected to use Go in a lot of our backend services - nothing striking there - but I've also been playing with Nim for fun.

I can see clearly where I might draw a line of delineation between where I select Go vs. say, Rust, but I'm not as clear where that line is for Go vs. Nim.

Does anyone have any enlightening thoughts on that?

What Is a Data Scientist and How Do I Become One?
I really wish something like this would take off.

Reddit and friends are great, but it's just too easy to game the system/censor if you control the central server.
The issue I have is not with Immigration, it is with the H1-B System. Because of the limited supply of H1-B's and the nature of them to tie the visa holder to an employer with the carrot of a green card (some day), is ripe for abuse by suppressing wages, which appears to be exactly what is happening. The supply of H1-B's is not necessarily the problem, it is the nature that they tie them to a particular employer. The offer of a "green card" some day, has value or acts as a bonus that citizens cannot compete with, so H1-B's salaries can be lower because the promise of a green card has value.
Surely this only demonstrates that your offered salary can only go down, and not up, and therefore you are still better off not stating your previous salary or salary expectations?
You're using a double standard, here: if the computer is good at indenting brace based languages, then it is equally good at indenting languages without braces just based on the grammar.
Life is endlessly surprising: "The diverse bacteria were found in groundwater and are thought to be quite common. They're also quite odd, which isn't a surprise given the cells are close to and in some cases smaller than several estimates for the lower size limit of life. This is the smallest a cell can be and still accommodate enough material to sustain life. The bacterial cells have densely packed spirals that are probably DNA, a very small number of ribosomes, hair-like appendages, and a stripped-down metabolism that likely requires them to rely on other bacteria for many of life's necessities."
Being able to walk away is always the strongest position. At a previous company I fully intended to move across the country to be closer to family and try my hand at creating a business. Instead of just quitting, I was able to negotiate 75% pay for 75% time with no reduction in benefits and no COL adjustment (I was moving from a high-cost to a low-cost area). With the loss of state income-tax, my new take-home pay was almost the same.
Choice is apparently a "usability nightmare" for the unwashed masses...

That's certainly one of the ways to rationalize it - scaling out the infra was actually pretty fun.

Legal stuff and the 'monetization' rationality are pretty spot on with my experience. There were even a few puff pieces from local tech outlets that had no idea they were a malware company.
> Some people need to be in control and call the shots... If you can live a fulfilled life as a nurse or PA, though, it's a much better choice...

Aside from nurse or PA, is APRN or ARNP. Not the same thing as a nurse at all.

My wife is an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse aka Nurse Practitioner. She's responsible for several hundred beds in a long term acute care facility, planning and setting the care for all these patients with the nursing staff carrying out her orders. MDs check their patients in and basically hand them off, leaving the critical care decisions in her hands while the MDs check back every 30 - 90 days, maybe. In our state she doesn't need to practice under some MD's license, she's a licensed care provider and prescriber in her own right. She spends a lot of time in differential diagnosis, being House. She's the most senior practicing medical person in the building.

As far as I can tell, today's NP is the general/internal medicine doc of the 1950s, with all the control and all the responsibility. If you want to be responsible for overall medical care for patients, rather than a particular specialty, understanding and improving patient health end to end, this seems like a reasonable way to go.
