This may be helpful, but seems to miss the point. Municipalities are the ones who created the monopolies.

The wired networks were conceived as utilities during their initial buildout, thus the monopoly. It takes years of lobbying and dealmaking for a new ISP to enter a municipality (see Google). That's unrelated to the state, in most cases.
They're running on mindshare momentum these days. I don't think the Arduino platform has really improved at all in the last 3 years.

mBed is far superior at this point in almost every way.

The problem is they already have cable internet incumbents who can price below the new fiber with you make the fiber more expensive.

And the fiber companies know this and do the math.

This sort of subsidy for poor areas worked when there as a telephone monopoly. Well there isn't a monopoly anymore so you can't just make customer eat your price no matter what.
Hailo - London - https://www.hailoapp.com/

Get a ride in two taps.

Using e-hail to get you from point A to B might sound simple but there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes. From the iOS, android or web app all the way through to the server side apps.

We're heavily invested in the microservices philosophy with over 170 services in production predominantly written in Go. Our client facing service exists natively on iOS, android and the web. We believe in using data to drive decisions and actively use A/B testing to validate those decisions.

Walter Bright did something similar in D's compiler (http://www.drdobbs.com/cpp/increasing-compiler-speed-by-over...)

>DMD does memory allocation in a bit of a sneaky way. Since compilers are short-lived programs, and speed is of the essence, DMD just mallocs away, and never frees. This eliminates the scaffolding and complexity of figuring out who owns the memory and when it should be released. (It has the downside of consuming all the resources of your machine if the module being compiled is big enough.)
Exactly. Bilibili is inspired by Acfun, which is in turn inspired by Nico Nico.
Society of Grownups - https://www.societyofgrownups.com/careers - Boston, MA (Washington Square, Brookline)

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll be a key member of our team by being an advocate for unit and integration testing as we build out brand new financial education software from the ground up.

We’re a small team of talented developers looking for someone with a history of shipping scalable production-ready code in a highly collaborative environment. Our entire team comes from different backgrounds with different levels of experience, and we’re looking for a friendly engineer who can focus on helping us become better testers and developers. In that capacity, you’ll also work closely with our QA Lead to write integration tests, while keeping a keen eye on the user experience of our platform.

As our testing infrastructure becomes more robust, you’ll shift into writing isomorphic Javascript applications in Node.js and Ember. We’re a flat team with a high level of autonomy and personal responsibility, so the code you write will almost always be the direct result of an idea that we came up with -- together. You’ll have a rare opportunity to take ownership of the software you develop, and rely on your instincts and intuition to deliver a world-class experience to our grownups.

What you’ll do:

- Ensure that we’re using the best tools for unit and integration testing

- Help each developer figure out a personal workflow for testing

- Author code using Javascript and Ruby, while occasionally pair programming

What we’re looking for:

- Significant experience with unit testing and integration testing

- Strong knowledge of Javascript, SQL, and atleast one other programming language

- Experience with, or a desire to, mentor other developers

We offer very competitive compensation, a fantastic benefits package, flexible hours + WFH, and a level of individual trust, respect, and autonomy rarely found in most engineering teams.

Interested? Send us any questions, or a brief cover letter + resume to careers@societyofgrownups.com
The bandwidth used by a whiteboard + audio stream is minimal. The government could easily pay market rates for the requisite wireless bandwidth.

Posted this elsewhere in the thread but I'll say something similar again: I love that here on HN, where from working in the industry I can sensibly assume the posters are mostly white and Asian, no one questions whether the metrics are of any quality. Is SAT really a good measure of your talents as a human being? Are high school grades? Two things that vary based on your education before the moment of the test and the grades. The grades themselves being subjective evaluations from thousands of people with different standards. If the quotas were swapped and whites and Asians were getting the "bonus", how quickly would the arguments shift to the idea that the metrics aren't any good in the first place? You probably took the SAT, do you honestly think its' a great talent indicator or a mediocre one? How many courses are out there that promise to improve your score and how much money do they cost? Ask an SAT tutor and they'll tell you it's easy to take someone from a decent score to a good one. Is that a great metric to decide people's futures. Who has access to SAT prep courses? Wealthy people (and people who know the system well and budget to game it).

Grades? You want to talk about grades? If the culture is overall discriminatory, how can we trust subjective evaluations from that culture?

Not to mention if you approach the admissions officers at Ivies, particularly at Harvard, Princeton & Yale, they say that they easily could fill 3 freshman classes or more with the applicants they receive. That even most of the rejected applicants could succeed academically at their schools. So yes, I think it's okay to select for diversity. If the system is gameable why should we take its metrics seriously? And if we can't take the metrics seriously we shouldn't be upset about ignoring the metrics and making subjective choices.
In terms of Valve Time, I've been struck by something John Carmack said[1]:

"that was id’s mantra for so long: 'It’ll be done when it’s done.' And I recant from that. I no longer think that is the appropriate way to build games. I mean, time matters, and as years go by—if it’s done when it’s done and you’re talking a month or two, fine. But if it’s a year or two, you need to be making a different game."

NO AGENCIES!
I'm presumed to not be a cultural fit because I overdress

The dress code for someone applying to some kind of professional job is (in the Western world - not everywhere in the world wears English national dress when they want to look smart) a suit, smart shoes, nice tie (or a female equivalent). Doesn't necessarily have to be the same material for trousers and jacket, but smart trousers and a good condition jacket. That is the dress code for a job applicant.

The dress code for the workplace at which you are interviewing might be different, but you don't work there so that's not your dress code; you're a job applicant at an interview. Someone dressing smartly has gone to the effort of dressing well, and in doing so has indicated that they have prepared for this interview, and that they recognise the formality of it; they are demonstrating basic good manners, and good manners should be a cultural fit in every workplace.

Sadly, I suspect there are workplaces who want you to be psychic and guess how to dress to match them exactly so they think you're "one of them" and mark people down for dressing smartly and not looking just like them, even though you don't even work there. I'd like to say that such workplaces are not worth your time, but sadly it wouldn't be true (although they may well have bought a little bit more into some kind of hipster inspired cargo-cult than you might like). Nonetheless, all you can do is play the probabilities, and on balance dressing smart for a job interview will win you more points than dressing like them.

When I interview, if they're not dressing smartly, it goes against them, even though most people around the office do not dress nearly so smartly.
Considering by the 6 minute mark on level 1 you hit the ultimate difficulty that's pretty crazy.

My best time on that's only 300 some odd seconds, but my best time on level 6 is like 257 because that's basically all I play anymore.
Mutually Human - Grand Rapids, Michigan (on-site, full time) - http://www.mutuallyhuman.com/

We are a small team passionate about making people's lives better through software. We're looking to hire senior software developers and software designers at our office in Grand Rapids.

A little bit about us:

- We write custom software of all shapes and sizes for clients all over the US.

- We aren't limited to any really specific set of technologies, which is a great
opportunity to learn. In the past two years, I've worked with Python (Flask+SQLAlchemy),
Objective-C (and some Swift), Backbone.js (inside PhoneGap), Angular.js (with CoffeeScript),
QT, Node.js, and a good helping of Ruby and Rails.

- We practice a sustainable pace. We recognize that we each have lives,
activities, and families outside of work. Late nights and > 40 hour weeks are
rare by design. Last year I worked an average of 40.408 hours per week.

- We run a makerspace in our building (http://grmakers.com), which gives us
access to lots of cool stuff like a laser cutter and 3D printers.

A little bit about you:

- You love making software, and you have a couple of years of experience building
software with a variety of tools and technologies.

- You learn new stuff quickly. You’ve used a lot of technologies, but you’re not
afraid to use more. You have some experience with web or mobile tech.

- You believe software is written for humans, not computers.

I'm a software developer on this awesome team. If you're interested, check out our website: http://www.mutuallyhuman.com/hiring/

Bitmessage uses proof-of-work to prevent spam.

"When you send a message, your client must first compute a Proof of Work (POW). This POW helps mitigate spam on the network. Nodes and other clients will not process your message if it does not show sufficient POW. After the POW is complete, your message is shared to all of your connections which in turn share it with all of their connections."

"Then I read somewhere that for diversity reasons after those students(the black and the Hispanic) are admitted to the top universities, they actually don't have a nice experience at all, most of them simply can't catch up and some of them drop out."

Yes, there's been a fair amount of research on this. Essentially, once you get beyond the very very top, I'm not sure what beyond Harvard and MIT (and of course CalTech), there just isn't a large enough pool of qualified candidates. So at each "level" a large fraction of these students admitted and accepting belong in a school one or two levels down, where they could thrive.

Ann Arbor / Detroit, MI - Alfa Jango

Looking for:

* Ruby, JavaScript, Back-end and Full-stack Developer(s)

* Project / Operations Manager

Full-time, salary with benefits - LOCAL preferred, REMOTE welcome

We build startups. We act as CTO and development team for early stage startups. We help everyone from new founders who have an idea, to startups who have already raised money and have paying customers; one of our clients even went through YCombinator.

One of our startups also just got acquired by Edmunds.com in October [1]! Several of our other startups are doing very well, and one of our developers is splitting off with their own startup, so we need to invite a couple more people into the team to help us grow.

---

We've recently grown to a team of 7, and are now looking to bring on one or two more developers, as well as a project manager (who can possibly help take on management of the company operations as well). We're a small team, so you'll have the opportunity to make a real difference with the company and our startups.

---

If working on startups and open-source [2] sounds like a lot of fun to you, then you might be a good fit :-) If you're ready to become an integral part of a startup building startups, let us know.

Check us out on our website: http://www.alfajango.com

This really assumes that syntax is a purely superficial thing, but in reality syntax reflects the underlying semantics of the language as well.

For example, a typical C program (sequence of imperative statements) displayed with lisp syntax will look awful, yes, but so will a typical lisp program (deeply nested expressions) rendered with C syntax.

Getting rid of text doesn't change the fundamental issues: Languages would still have different semantics (and thus suit different/custom representations) and it wouldn't make any more sense to mix-and-match than it does now.

"Help you help them" however is only necessary in the python example because data is lost. The indention doesn't mean anything to C programmers, and thus I need no help from them to help them.
I think there are a few considerations based on the type of role. If you're expected to interact with clients, then I think a full suit for an interview is appropriate, basically to demonstrate that you can present yourself in a business environment if necessary.

If the role is purely for programming, and your impression is that the other developers at this company do not wear them, I would not wear a tie and jacket- it could come off as an incorrect cultural fit.

I don't think you'll feel overdressed in any work environment if you wear a button up shirt, comfortable slacks, and understated dress shoes.
