HubSpot - Cambridge/Boston, MA

http://hubs.ly/y0zbwS0

HubSpot is a great place to work with a great culture of getting things done and delighting our customers. HubSpot loves investing in Engineering as a way to build a world-class product.

On the front-end, we use technologies like CoffeeScript and React to create a wonderful experience for our users interacting with the system.

On the back-end, we use technologies like HBase, Kafka, MySQL, Elasticsearch, ZooKeeper, and Dropwizard. If you haven't looked at Dropwizard, it's actually a really nice way to develop web services in Java: you can annotate paths like you would do in Python and Flask and just return a Java object that will be serialised into JSON for you by Jackson.

Engineering is organised into small teams (usually around 3 people) where you can have a big impact on the product. We deploy hundreds of times per day and use GitHub Enterprise for SCM, Jenkins to build, and an internally developed open-source system built on top of Mesos called Singularity to deploy app instance containers. Your changes won't be languishing in git waiting for a major release. Because deploys are so painless, we're able to deploy small changes.

If Google's catch-phrase is "Don't be evil" ours is "use good judgement". Check out our Culture Code for more information: http://www.culturecode.com. Also take a look at our 2014 Year in Review if you're interested: http://hubs.ly/y0zbyd0.

Work schedules are flexible, though most engineers get in around 10am. You get to make a meaningful difference in a product with loads of paying customers and a ton of traffic. Best of all, you get to work with loads of smart and fun people. That's the best thing about HubSpot: the people are great people that you can rely on, learn from, and have a great time getting things done with.
I'd be interested in an actual gmail alternative: search-based email, ie, an API that is explicitly NOT IMAP and where a single message can live in an arbitrary amount of folders.

I completely agree. I've asked a couple of questions now that had lots of genuinely useful answers, and were then closed for some perceived rule violation.

Assuming for the sake of argument that the moderators were correct and my question was off-topic: it's really rude for half a dozen moderators to pile on and all say so. It gave the impression I was out of line / being told off and it really put me off continuing to be active on the website.

That wasn't a question at all. It was letting people know you wanted them to write code for you.

If your "question" starts out, "I'd like to create...", and finishes with the expectation that else somebody will write the code for you, it's a pretty good bet you're going to get down voted.
Thanks for sharing. I found http://hookrace.net/blog/what-is-special-about-nim/ enlightening as well.

We used to criticize the Soviet Union for its border policies.
The University of California is prohibited by law from discriminating by race in admissions, but they've found other ways to increase minority representation that don't violate the law. Perhaps the most significant example is the "Eligibility in the Local Context" program. If a student is in the top 9% of their high school class, their application gets a bump. It doesn't involve race on the face of things, but it has increased minority enrollment in practice.
> Nim's GC is special in comparison to mainstream GC'ed languages as it offers you great control. For ease of development it is a GC'ed language, yet for performance and ABI purposes allows deterministic GC.

Unless you need to GC pointers shared between multiple threads, in which case your only option is the Boehm GC (which is imprecise, unlike Go's). This is a significant disadvantage in both expressiveness and safety that Go does not possess.

Hands on with the Huawei Watch
"The Vive headset was developed in conjunction with Valve, creators of such ground-breaking games as Portal and Half-Life."

And that sentence pretty much illustrates why the shine has come off Valve, at least for me. The last Half-Life game was in 2007 (as was the last Team Fortress game). The last Portal game was 2011, and Kim Swift has moved on to other things. Left 4 Dead's developers have moved to another publisher with Evolve. Counter-Strike is still limping along. Dota 2 exists, I guess. The only thing they've released since Dota 2 are Linux ports of old games, unless you count the ports of old games that Nvidia did to Android. Meanwhile the Steam Machine hasn't seen commercial release, we still don't even know what their Steam Controller is supposed to look like in its final form... and they're announcing a VR headset? After all their big names in VR already jumped ship to Occulus? Is there an adult somewhere at Valve minding the store?

> You don't need fiber to access Wikipedia, submit job applications, etc.

You do need a decent, reliable connection to access video-based educational materials (which form the bulk of many MOOCs), and more so to watch livestreamed conferences and tutorials. Do you plan to force mobile phone networks to provide virtually-unlimited bandwidth on top of supporting tethering when they're already struggling with physical bandwidth issues as it stands?

The rest of the developed world manages to provide high-speed (>50Mbps) Internet to at least almost the full population of their major cities (ignoring rural areas for now), with plenty of competition, so I don't really see why the US can't.
What deal could representatives make that fixes the problem? Someone has to pay to service those poor neighborhoods, and it'll be the ISP's shareholders only if they can make outrageous amounts of money on the remaining subscribers. Otherwise, the options are public money, or no fiber. Most cities are broke, so the former option is off the table, so in practice the result is no fiber for anyone.

Stinger Ghaffarian Technologies in Houston, TX is looking for Flight Controllers to support human spaceflight operations at NASA Johnson Space Center. See the official job posting here [1]. This posting is looking for people to support various International Space Station disciplines, however I personally am within the Extravehicular Activity group. I am not directly involved with hiring at all; I'm purely interested in getting more people with software development experience into my group.

About my job: I work at the NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Lab (NBL)[2] and Mission Control Center (MCC)[3]. People in our group are in charge of Extravehicular Activities (spacewalks)[4], such as the one going on right now[5]. This group plans on-orbit activities, trains astronauts to perform spacewalks (at the NBL and other facilities), and assists astronauts with execution of missions from MCC. This is one of the coolest jobs on the planet. In addition to working on projects that you get to see played out in space, you get to do things like SCUBA and work in the spacesuit in the NBL.

While not officially part of the job posting, having a background in software would be awesome; there are huge portions of our jobs begging to be automated. For example, I've long wanted to improve EVA procedure building [6].

This is not surprising, most asians already know this - I encountered this during admissions when I applied to undergrad for the class of 2006. I was one of the most stellar candidates from the NY tristate area (NYC area) with some of the best test scores & a diverse set of extracurriculars, and a history of excellence in regional/national math competitions & advanced coursework (Multivariable Calculus and Linear Algebra in 10th grade), but my being Korean definitely hurt (combined with my having wrote a bad essay, which helped give a reason to say no/waitlisted in a year where many colleges lost millions of dollars from the Enron scandal).

In the end, it didn't matter as much since I always had strong confidence in my ability to adapt and to look ahead, and my path turned out to be beneficial in many different ways. Obstacles such as this are difficult to overcome though, and it helped home in that I need to be that much sharper in order to succeed.

Real measurement is hard
"To discriminate" means to draw distinctions and act upon them. Establishing a maximum quota of Jewish or Asian students at a university is, factually, discrimination. It may be morally justifiable discrimination, but it is discrimination.

If the freshman class at Harvard University ends up being 30% Asian and 10% Jewish, maybe it's because people in East Asian and Jewish cultures value education more than people in other cultures. In that case, why isn't it fair for an educational institution to cater to individuals who have been raised to value education?

If some minorities (and let's not dance around the issue; we mean black people) are underrepresented at these institutions, that is a wake up call. It means that the public school system in our country has, in aggregate, failed black children and that decades of racial injustice have forced black people into self-perpetuating cycles of generational poverty. It doesn't mean that Harvard is being racially discriminatory.
Find out how people normally dress at the company and dress as well or slightly better. If people normally wear ties to work I'd say go with a suit. If they wear business casual make sure you've got a tie but maybe not a suit. If they wear shorts and flip flops wear a nice pair of jeans and possibly a collared shirt. Only companies in the last category are likely to penalize you for overdressing. Companies in the earlier categories will penalize you if you underdress. If in doubt speak to the recruiter and ask how people normally dress at the company.
That's a fair assumption on your part.

However, I think if you open the topic with, "The position is budgeted at X, but what would you like to make?" You're being about as open as possible, and that's what I try to do.
Thank you for pointing this out, I will investigate this now.
> , you have things like std::vector, and in terms of performance, everyone except MSVC supports VLAs in C++ anyway, and MSVC doesn't even support them in C.

They are not the same. VLA in C are on the stack vectors are allocated from dynamic memory (heap).

> Regardless, no one said anything about ABI compatibility being one of C++'s strengths.

Right but that is why in practice C++ it is not a strict superset of C. When having to interface with other parts of the systems (loading .so, .dlls) or integrating with scripting langauges, the interface still has to be wrapped in a C interface.
