How to (Semi) Automate Onboarding of New Clients
Head of Data Infrastructure | First Leads | Durham, NC or Remote

== Who we are ==

We're reshaping the way realtors find their next client. We find people who are interested in buying or selling their home _before_ they start looking for a realtor and we connect them with the best realtor.

We're building a new kind of data engine, one that combines data from dozens of sources and is capable of highly accurate correlation. We achieve this by leveraging the best of algorithms and humans together through unique workflows.

We've got a healthy seed round, and are already booking revenue.

I'm the CTO and co-founder - give me a shout if you're interested in solving some really interesting data problems: jess@firstleads.net

== What you will do ==

You'll be a core leader on our rapidly growing team.

You'll work closely with managed workforce providers to engineer new ways of integrating human intelligence via API. Basically, you'll innovate and improve on ideas present in Amazon's Mechanical Turk and apply it to particular problem domains.

Architect and implement a highly-scalable data aggregation and correlation platform. You’ll solve genuinely new challenges by rewriting First Lead's data infrastructure workflows from scratch, blending algorithmic approaches and a managed workforce.

You'll also own the majority of our operational infrastructure on which we're constructing unique product offerings. You'll drive key strategic decisions about our system architecture and deployment. Together with the CTO, you'll discuss tradeoffs around technical debt, incoporate new technologies when significant leverage is demonstrated, and craft a consistent, comprehensible, maintainable system.

You'll hire a team that codes, scales, and supports our rapidly growing data engine. You'll be on the lookout for areas of our system that can be cleanly separated out and contributed to the open source community. You'll be a thought leader in our industry, with deep, applied knowledge in the area of integrating humans and algorithms.

Within 3 Months, You'll: (a) Deeply understand the existing capabilities of our data engine, (b) Fully own the development roadmap for the data engine, and (c) Implement and extend the core functionality to support multiple new data sources.

Within 6 Months, You'll: (a) Integrate with a managed workforce provider to scale up our human-powered intelligence stations, (b) Participate in product design discussions mapping out novel ways to utilize our data to improve realtor lead generation processes, and (c) Hire and train 1-2 software developers to scale up the buildout of the data engine.

Within 12 Months, You'll: (a) Facilitate the creation of statistical models around our data engine to better predict when intent data will connect with a purchasing decision, (b) Manage and grow a team of data scientists to build out our statistical models, and (c) Oversee continued development of the systems and train the team on best practices.
Upcoming.nl - Amsterdam, NL (No remote, but we'll relocate you) - Full Stack Engineer

Upcoming is a Dutch 'listicle' website (a listicle is an article consisting of a list of funny/informational/sentimental/whatever stuff). We've been growing continuously since we launched in 2013, already reaching 15% of the Dutch population with zero € spent on marketing. We're (an independent) part of Telegraaf Media Groep, one of the biggest publishers of The Netherlands.

We use python in the backend (Flask, Celery+RabbitMQ), and manage the frontend with Jinja2, jQuery, LESS and Grunt; persistence is done with MySQL and Redis. The deployments are automated, in a Continuous Integration environment. Our backend is developed in-house, with state-of-the-art publishing related features (monitoring of 1000's of feeds to detect trending articles, headline and thumbnail A/B testing, advanced CTR optimizers...).

Since we're part of a big media group, some of these tools are now being used by other teams, reaching tens of millions of users every day.

We'd like to bring on board a pragmatic developer. A CS degree helps, but relevant web experience is more important for us. We'd love it if you have spent some time across the whole stack, but if you consider yourself "just" a frontend or backend developer, we'll hear you out too.

We offer:

- A perfect balance between working on innovation projects and “regular” web development, both with short and iterative development cycles.

- The flexibility and dynamism of working in a startup, with the strong stability of being part of a big company.

- An international environment

- Relocation assistance

- A competitive salary

- 25 vacation days

- Amsterdam! You’ll be living in one of the most beautiful and cosmopolitan cities in the world.

Replacing an English word with a phrase containing an English word.

Hard to imagine why it failed to catch on.
I've never seen either of those in use; nor can I find evidence for them on the internet easily. While people will often probably understand either costlily/friendlily or costlylike/friendlylike, not trying to force either into a single word and just using an adverbial phrase (e.g., "in a friendly manner") is probably the most common and understandable way to express the idea in English. Not every adjective needs a corresponding single-word adverb.

For you.

It looks more like the OP's version to me, including 'softonic' as the third linked one. The top two are mozilla's (and I use an ad blocker so I don't see the ad).

On Chrome the first 6 links are mozilla's then the 'download sites' start.
>Linguistic purity movements continue to strike me as largely pointless. It seems better that language evolve naturally -- as long as it remains effective as a communication medium, what is the issue?

On the one hand I agree with you. The English we use now, even when written or spoken in a grammatically perfect way, is very different to the English used a couple of hundred years ago.

On the other hand, seeing "your/you're" or "they're/their/there" used incorrectly or interchangeably rustles my jimmies immeasurably.
Agreed - but the post implies all of the choices made were mindful choices. Carmack indicates that is not necessarily so.

Alex, Yali and the team are fantastic! I worked at Snowplow last summer and I can't recommend it enough.
From the release notes: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antirez/redis/3.0/00-RELEA...

* Redis Cluster: a distributed implementation of a subset of Redis.
* New "embedded string" object encoding resulting in less cache
misses. Big speed gain under certain work loads.
* AOF child -> parent final data transmission to minimize latency due
to "last write" during AOF rewrites.
* Much improved LRU approximation algorithm for keys eviction.
* WAIT command to block waiting for a write to be transmitted to
the specified number of slaves.
* MIGRATE connection caching. Much faster keys migraitons.
* MIGARTE new options COPY and REPLACE.
* CLIENT PAUSE command: stop processing client requests for a
specified amount of time.
* BITCOUNT performance improvements.
* CONFIG SET accepts memory values in different units (for example
you can use "CONFIG SET maxmemory 1gb").
* Redis log format slightly changed reporting in each line the role of the
instance (master/slave) or if it's a saving child log.
* INCR performance improvements.

Brave Moves for Boring Meetings
The combat in Dark Souls was amazing. The hitboxes were so finely tuned you could just about dodge by a hair. The Artorias boss fight was the most fluid battle I've seen in a game, though maybe Bloodborne can top it. The PVP was absolutely great also, with skill-intensive counters for everything meaning the most skilled player almost always came out on top.

It depends, sometimes the words they invent fit quite naturally into the language and people tend to use them and sometimes they just invent something unpronounceable and obviously nobody is using those words and use the English word as a replacement instead.

There already are TLDs which have stricter requirements (residency requirements, .edu, .mil etc.) as well as TLDs that were significantly more expansive than others. gTLDs are not that unique in that regard, except for being even more expensive.
I'm not giving any opinion here. I don't find it offensive -- I find it funny. They just missed the line right above where the same remark is made sans the "wtf".

No.

Everybody knows that languages naturally evolve on their own. The advantages of the "Académie" are:

- it slows down the evolution allowing better choices.

- although the language is still driven by everybody using it, it is stirred in the right direction by linguists and authors, usually making choices consistent with the rest of the languages, its history and roots.

The best example of what happens when such a mechanism isn't in place is the "biweekly" and "irregardless" mess in english!

I am really fond of the "Real Academia Española" as they go even further than their french counterpart, and regularly change the spelling of words to reflect their modern pronounciation.
Assuming this isn't an April Fools joke...

This kind of interface creates a terrible user experience. I've seen them before, and they always suck. The main issue is that you remove all context from the interaction. I don't know where I am relative to the entirety of the content. Furthermore, I can't jump to the point that I want.

It's disorienting and infuriating, and after about 10 seconds of exercising my middle finger (in multiple ways), I close the tab and add the site to my mental list of "examples of shitty UX".

Fortunately, this isn't the first such example, so I can provide solid evidence of how horrible this concept is. Ironically, it's the Famo.us Angular integration documentation...

Use any compile-to-JS language, or use any LLVM language (such as C++) to compile to asm.js.

I tried kivy with a lot of enthusiasm, and the experience was not good. React native does a better job, I think (or just React in FF OS). I say it as a programmer whose favorite language was Python for many years, I even coded a Python-to-JS compiler with classes, inheritance and stuff where other attempts were very too basic or too slow... Now my favorite language is CoffeeScript.
Indeed, if one could pick so well, then the public market is a great place and more liquid.
