Catalyze | REMOTE or Madison WI | Full-Time

At Catalyze we're building the underlying infrastructure for some of the most exciting and innovative technology companies in healthcare. In short, we provide a compliant platform and data services to power the scaling of digital health. We love working on open source, solving difficult problems and we're growing rapidly.

Clever (YC S12) - Full Stack Engineer - San Francisco

Right now the market for educational software is a mess. It’s incredibly difficult for developers to get their products into schools, and they have no information about the students who are using their software. On the schools’ side, large districts are spending tons of money on learning applications, but they have no way of knowing if students are even using the apps they’re purchasing. Teachers know there’s great software out there, but the challenge of getting 30 kids to log in correctly makes using it impossible.

At Clever, we’re working to change that. We provide schools with a free API and single sign-on solution that makes using educational apps a breeze. We’ve grown fast: after two and a half years, we’re moving data for a quarter of all K-12 students in America (15M kids), and 35,000 schools are using us to manage their education apps. Our goals are much bigger than that, though. We want to be two things:
-a single place where schools can easily manage and analyze all the software they’re using, and
-a single identity that students can use to see everything they’ve learned across multiple apps.

We’re a team of 50 (22 engineers) based in downtown SF. We’re looking for full-stack engineers who like:

-Go, Coffeescript and Python (or are willing to learn)

-big responsibilities (there are 700,000 students on the platform per engineer here)

-hard technical problems (managing a huge, constantly updating data pipeline)

-tech talks on everything ranging from the history of hip-hop to neuroscience to exoplanets

I applied for this position, completed a 2 hour programming exercise, and then was told that you do not hire remote (or at least remote outside of the US).

Please modify your posting to be accurate.
The Linux model: you install software from repositories curated by people you trust - distribution maintainers. No viruses, no bundled adware, just simple no-bullshit software repositories. I have a hard time understanding why techies continue to put up with Windows and OSX.
No reason it shouldn't be. Brilliant idea: put a "reorder consumable product" right where you will be the moment you realize you need to reorder a particular consumable product. Running low on laundry detergent? TP? fabric softener? trash bags? push button. You walk away from that location, you'll immediately forget you needed to order (which means drive to store or fiddle with browser). Devices can be built dirt cheap now: button, minimal wifi, ease setup via (yes) nigh-unto-free microphone. App gathers requests, confirms them (my first thought was "great, kids sit there pushing button and order 137 bottles of Tide"), done, product arrives in 24/48 hours.

IBM Watson in Pittsburgh has eight open positions as of this posting. This is for full time and IBM will do visas for qualified candidates. Our internships are largely closed, more on that in the reply.

I’m a software engineer and former consultant on the Watson Explorer connectivity team.

http://ibm.biz/watson-pgh-jobs

* Software Engineer
* Quality Engineer
* Quality Engineer
* Senior Quality Engineer
* Support Engineer
* UI Developer
* Design Team Manager
* Technical Product Manager

We’re looking for folks versed in Java, Scala, and the Ruby on Rails stack. We do things like TDD, real actual pair programming†, kanban, agile-ish planning (IBM Design Thinking, not some convoluted buzzword bullshit), automated builds, “use the right tool for the job even if it’s not an IBM product”, and daily stand ups that, for the most part, never run past 15 minutes.

We have award-winning engineers, writers, and speakers in our office. One of IBM Design’s principals is located here, too. A few of our staff are on conference organizing committees for Steel City Ruby, DevOps Days, SATURN, etc. Almost half of our desks are standing desks in our open space office plan (where sitting is fine, too!) with a roof deck in the middle of a bustling, multicultural business district.

We like to have fun, too, having regular board game lunches and evenings, hosting meetup events, weekly communal lunch cooked by one or more of our fantastic cooks, and managers that are incredibly full-of-clue and treat us like the adults we all are.

We try to keep our interview process as bullshit-free as possible. If we think you look good on paper, we’ll reach out for a phone chat and give you the details on a pretty open-ended code test, where you’ll implement a simple library. If we like your solution, then we’ll invite you for a live culture fit and technical interview, in-person if you’re near or remote if not. This process has given us a ridiculously low turnover.

You can read more in the many /r/pittsburghjobs posts I’ve made throughout the years both as IBM and as Vivísimo, the startup that IBM acquired in 2012:

† no, really. We shoot for 50%-75% pairing, otherwise known as “pair when it makes sense”.
If you’re physically in Pittsburgh, consider coming to a Code & Supply (http://www.codeandsupply.co) event held in our office. We host several per month; we’re very active in the local developer community. We've hired at least three people that we've met through it...

If you're not in Pittsburgh, you can click that above link and search for other cities. Most Watson positions have "Watson" in the title or at least as a keyword in the search. Or you can try through http://www.ibm.com/watsonjobs but I think that's internship-focused right now.
The logic is a bit mystifying, in the same article you have

"When you hop into Periscope, you see streams from all around the world. From an engagement perspective, this is fantastic."

right next to

"There where only about 12 viewers of this stream, meaning a quarter of users watching were there to do harm."

On what planet of 6 billion people, is having two-billionths of the population tune in where most of them are weirdos be fantastic engagement?

If (when?) that app dies, assuming you can anthropomorphize something with that little traction "alive", two billionths of the world population are going to be really sad. The trolls will likely move on to pester the non-app users, so us 5999999986 unimportant people are going to have to put up with trolling where we hang out. Oh well.

I can imagine lasting societal value to an app that acts as little more than a honeypot for trolls.

Try not to use the word '*emote' unless it's pertinent to the job posting. Some of us are looking to work from home, jobs and using the phrase makes it tough to scan through the results.

No, you don't need the the second argument since the for loop just won't execute at all if the list length is zero.

> The author doesn't even notice that the second argument of && is redundant

Doesn't it check if a list isn't null and then if the list has at least one item in it? Or are you simply saying the for loop takes care of the situation where there are 0 items in the list?

Humans not robots
So when you see "biweekly" somewere, how do you interpret it?
(google search, youtube, bing search - all use late load javascript to get misclicks).

Of course, go back a year or so and everyone was screaming at ad providers for using blocking JavaScript.
He then proceeds to iterate over the list using zero based indexing. The loop would not execute once if the list had length zero, making this check just plain wrong.

I know an even lower level language (C++, C) that doesn't have the problem of things which make no sense to be NULL (list elements). The problem is that Java did away completely with value types and made everything pointer only. That has been recognized by later languages (C#) and fixed.

The whole code consists of problems: the first is the language, the second is the programmer, the third is the missing for-each construct.
> And the country's economy relies on tourism and agriculture, not energy-sucking industries like manufacturing.

As it relates to the topic, it should say "not electricity-sucking industries". This is an important point however. The U.S. uses 7.3x as much electricity per capita.[1] It would be extremely difficult and costly to build the renewable infrastructure to replace what we have now. Sure, if you're in a warm climate and not used to consuming so much electricity, then renewables are great, but insisting that all developing economies use renewables, or imposing that cost on workers who haven't seen much wage growth in a while, you're asking for trouble. Solve the nuclear waste issue and we can really improve living conditions all over the world, while helping to prevent CAGW.

"You can't trust anybody outside of group X" does not imply "You can trust everybody inside of group X".
Worth noting: some shops will summarily reject on code review any refactor that isn't part of the ticket/issue.
Unfortunately I don't have a PS4 to play it on, but from what I've seen and heard, it's meant to be more than just a hack-and-slash.

Many of the encounters are almost like puzzles where you need a strategy to get through. Here's a pretty good take on it from PA: http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2015/03/27/provisional-resigna...
The performance section of the spec[1] does a pretty good job explaining how the implementation remains fast.

In Redis Cluster nodes don't proxy commands to the right
node in charge for a given key, but instead they redirect
clients to the right nodes serving a given portion of the
key space.

Eventually clients obtain an up to date representation
of the cluster and which node serves which subset of
keys, so during normal operations clients directly
contact the right nodes in order to send a given command.

Because of the use of asynchronous replication, nodes
does not wait for other nodes acknowledgment of writes
(if not explicitly requested using the WAIT command).

I agree. The Essenes of s good April Fool's is something that is mostly believable. None of this fools anyone, it is just silly.
I don't have smooth scrolling, so these types of things are always jumpy and not very enjoyable.
Python seems to hold steady, it's neither the most popular language in the world or the least popular. It just is.

Actually take a look in the "Who's Hiring" thread running right now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9303396

I periodically glance through this as a way to gauge what skills I should be sharpening up on for the next few years.. Turns out a quick word search for "Javascript" had 67 results, "Ruby" had 36, and "Python" had 81 results. Looks on the surface that in the HN community at least Python is really surging in popularity right now
