Nicely done! This document is short enough to not cause mental overload and yet explains the most important aspects in a comprehensible way.

Too many “tutorials” read like complete gibberish to the people they're supposed to address, namely beginners (try understanding `camlp4`, e.g.). This one doesn't make that mistake.

Snowplow Analytics - Remote, INTERN.

Snowplow Analytics is looking for 1-2 open source software interns this Summer (May through August), for a 6-8 week paid internship. Our interns will work directly on and contribute to projects within the Snowplow open source stack (https://github.com/snowplow). A Snowplow intern loves coding, enjoys experimenting with new technologies and is happiest working "in the open" on community/team projects. Technologies we use at Snowplow include Scala, JRuby, Go, Hadoop, Kinesis, Redshift, Elasticsearch, Kafka and Samza.

This a paid internship; we will consider remote candidates who are up to UTC +/- 5 hours maximum. Interested?

San Frqncisco (cow hollow) - ePantry is hiring our digital marketing lead. We launched exactly one year ago and have grown from zero to selling one heck of a lot of natural soap and sustainably-sourced toilet paper on the Internet. Marketing has played a huge role in this, led by our founding team, but our needs have now outstripped out abilities and we need someone more experienced than us to steer our efforts. We're looking for someone wth a strong voice that can strengthen our brand, and experience with email marketing. You should be reasonably quantitative, but also have opinions and instincts about what makes a brand great. This role reports to the CEO and will help us drive grown through multiple channels (though not so much CPC).

We recently closed our first round of institutional capital, have a fast-growing and lovely customer base, a terrific, sun-lit office, and have a couple of rescue dogs who nap under the desks and occasionally bark at the UPS man. Thus, we have all the tools in place for massive success - once you join us.

You can contact me - chris@epantry.com. Can't wait!
Additionally, we are considering adding a couple of summer internship positions for EPFL students. If you are at EPFL and the above looks interesting enough, drop me a line.
Wingspan Technology, Philadelphia Suburbs (Blue Bell)

We're looking for multiple software and DevOps engineers. If interested, contact gsieling@wingspan.com.

Wingspan Technology is a small, family friendly software company headquartered in Blue Bell, PA. The Wingspan engineering team is responsible for architecture, implementation, and maintenance of the company’s enterprise software products that target highly regulated industries, primarily life sciences. Current projects span the whole software lifecycle, from maintenance of industry-leading solutions to the development of new, unannounced products; some are on-premise and some SaaS.

Our engineering team has exposure to a wide range of technology; for new projects we’re using Scala, React, Solr, and Postgres, with an emphasis on functional programming techniques where appropriate. Internally we use Atlassian tools for defect tracking, continuous integration, and code reviews. Engineers involved in tier 3 support typically work with older technologies, but are able to see how real customers use their work.

New engineers typically rotate through a series of projects over time. These might include building new UI features in Javascript, writing database migration scripts, or tier 3 support for a SaaS application, depending on the candidate’s interest and experience. Project selection is based around the current needs of our customers, and offers many opportunities to take ownership of projects that have real value to the company.

EDIT to comment on how we get work done, we have private offices if you want, but I find most people really enjoy how much you learn buy sitting on the trading floor.
Imagine how hard it would have been to untangle cross-site security if he had followed that scheme. As it is, we already have to have arbitrary restrictions on where in the domain hierarchy you can root things like cookies (e.g. if you're on www.example.com you can set cookies on example.com, but if you're on example.co.uk you can't set them on co.uk)
TLDR: MongoDB benchmarked Couchbase Server by having it perform CAS operations (read + update) while MongoDB performed basic operations (update), they used an outdated client library that is two years old, and they performed it with single node deployments.
Part of why I like it is that it devalues domains for domain squatters. It is much easier to get a good enough new domain now for whatever idea you come up with, because there are so many more available again.
Code School Is Now Customizable
I didn't mean it literally, I guess I should have been more clear. What I mean is that gTLDs are a single new namespace, and provide nothing more than what any other single new TLD would have, except for the aesthetic value of not having ".com" at the end of your domain. I suppose now that I think about it this isn't all that profound.
Many applications find sync writes to replica memory on other rack(s) to be a good substitute for sync to disk. The disk sync can be batched every second or so for higher throughput and your application is safe. Where this really plays out well is when the disk goes slow for a minute (cloud-style) and the database stays fast.
That is one incredibly annoying web site.

[edit - it stops after a while]

Regarding: "The etc sets are now gone. All the sample /etc files are now included in the base set. This should make sysmerge must [sic] easier and faster in the future, since there will be many fewer conflicts to resolve. On the other hand, even rc and rc.conf are now overwritten, so it’s not possible to maintain local mods without additional work. This makes sense, though, since /etc/rc is as much a part of the base system as /sbin/init. You don’t want to be running a five year old edition."

I thought (and the manpages always indicated) that the rule was that /etc/rc and /etc/rc.conf were fair game, and that if you wanted to make changes that weren't overwritten by a system upgrade, to put them in /etc/rc.local and /etc/rc.conf.local. I'm unclear why this is considered a problem.
Great work and useful examples that shows how much richer the web has become since the dark old days when <blink> and <marquee> was the only options to make your web page eye-catching.

You seem to be skipping over the part where the buyer chooses between the iPad Air and the iPad Air 2 (if they pick the big size) or between the iPad mini, iPad mini 2, or iPad mini 3 (if they pick the small size). That is the big problem in my eyes at the moment. Cellular radio, whatever, obvious choice for most. Colors, that's an easy customization, just pick what you like. But how do you pick between all those different models? The really puzzling one is the iPad mini 3 and iPad mini 2. Why do they both exist? Is the difference truly just $100 in price and a fingerprint sensor? That's madness!

Looking for someone who can be a senior developer on our core platform team, be a mentor and inspiration to the other developers on our team with a solid work ethic comfortable working with people in difficult time zones.

We code primarily on a LAMP/LEMP stack but aren’t terribly opinionated. This position will initially be on our “V3” team which codes https://github.com/ushahidi/platform and https://github.com/ushahidi/platform-client.

More about the position at the jobs link above.

CloudFlare - San Francisco, CA and London, UK: VISA

CloudFlare is building the next generation network edge, in the cloud, for security, performance, monitoring, and control of web traffic.

We started the year at ~128 and are looking to double in size in 2015. Still early enough to make a difference, but we're now big enough that the difference you make will affect a large number of customers on day one, including Hacker News, Reddit, Stack Exchange, basically every bitcoin or torrent site ever, and 2M more.

We're engineering driven, and have been great at solving hard engineering challenges (we've got nginx core team, some deep kernel tap knowledge, and insane levels of performance optimization up and down the stack), but we're hiring across the company:

In addition to always looking for great systems engineers, SREs, and network engineers, we're particularly interested in exceptionally strong web front end developers, Postgres database expertise, and enterprise sales/sales engineers.

https://www.cloudflare.com/join-our-team

Things we particularly value are a drive to complete projects, deep technical curiosity, and an interest in fixing the Internet.

CircleUp - San Francisco & Remote [US]. Hiring full stack software engineers that love Python & the web.

CircleUp is building an online investment marketplace that helps non-tech consumer & retail businesses raise the capital they need to expand. These are companies selling products such as greek yogurt, granola bars, energy drinks, footware, athletic gear, baby food, pet care, cosmetics-- something you might buy in a Whole Foods or Costco. Venture Capital firms don't invest in these categories, and these deals are still too early-stage for traditional private equity. So these entrepreneurs struggle to raise the money that would help them keep up with demand; at the same time, many investors could benefit from the returns of this asset class, if only it could be made easily accessible.

We have been named one of the Top 5 Most Disruptive companies in Finance by CNBC, one of America's Most Promising Companies by Forbes, and one of the 50 Best Fintech Innovators by KPMG. We are backed by top-tier investors including Google Ventures & Union Square Ventures.

Our stack is Python (Django) + AngularJS. We use some exciting applications of Machine Learning in Python.
We are 11 engineers and growing fast. Half the engineering team is in SF, half is remote (distributed across the US). We're looking for smart generalists that never stop learning, like working full stack, and are excited to have some impact on the economy outside of silicon valley tech.

Help us shape the future of finance! Apply at: https://circleup.com/jobs/engineer/

I think you are looking at it in the wrong way. The squatters are still there, they are just new people who feel like they missed their chance early in the game and playing catch-up.
I don't think it's valid criticism. If something repeatedly fails and you keep doing it, is it the fault of the game or of the player?

Within engineering we are a passionate group of people who are extremely interested in building the software that helps our customers around the country thrive in their local communities.

Hey, I actually thought it was an April Fools joke as well, but then realized that we've gotten to the point where it is crucial to have 1 day delivery for toilet paper...Honestly, it's cool, but from a sense of self-pride...no. This is how civilizations collapse...let's be honest.
That's actually how Apple does it. For example, the official names of the various Mac Pro models are "Mac Pro (Late 2013)," "Mac Pro (Mid 2012)," etc. It's a bit confusing because they don't show the year part prominently, so you have to do some legwork to figure out what you're buying or what you already have, but it works out OK.
