Hydro is sort of wasted as "baseload" source, because it's so readily adjustable, i.e. it is good as "dispatchable" source.

Nuclear is the typical baseload source, as adjusting output is not that fast.

But of course, if your hydro is really plentiful, then it doesn't matter.

Take the case of Norway and Denmark: Denmark has wind energy, which is very erratic. Norway has lots of hydro power which is perfectly dispatchable. When there's wind and not much consumption, Norway can buy wind electricity cheaply from Denmark (in fact the price may be negative because the excess production has to be sunk somewhere). The hydro plants are stopped. When there's no wind and there's a lot of consumption, Norway can sell electricity at a very good price to Denmark.

So, capacity is not the only thing that matters, dispatchability is important, and Norway clearly has the upper hand here because its wattage capacity is of a better kind.
Natural language is imprecise and vague. And it is relying on a lot of your experience. However, this is why natural language is so much more effective than the programming language counterpart -- it leverages on people's experience, or I would refer as context.

The idea is to differentiate the two layers of programming. The top layer is the syntax layer, and it should follow the path of natural language which takes in human context (the human interface). The lower layer is the rigorous part (but still human readable), mostly context free and emphasizes the machine (optimization) interface.

Just like we get the daily work done, we use the top layer to express and think, then verify at the lower layer.

Forth is a great language, totally fits the concept. But the article is trying to show that we can program in any language with vocabulary leading style (with the help of meta-layer perhaps) in which you do not lose any benefits of language (if you consider them benefits).
Thank you, much better link.

> I care if the framework is going to work

You are not your code. EA is not their code. The code stands on its own merit. This is fundamental knowledge to developers who care about the quality of a piece of code instead of the personal ethics of the person who wrote it.

Would I not use your code because you participate in this circlejerking? No, if your code was good I'd use it: and then I'd call you an asshole in the appropriate forum.

Silk - Amsterdam, the Netherlands. No remote work – must be willing to work at our Amsterdam office.

Silk [1] is looking for DevOps, Front-end and JavaScript/TypeScript Engineers.

Our product lets people publish structured data on the web and makes it easy for people to query, visualize, publish and share their data. On a deeper level, our vision is to bring a structured, machine-readable web to the masses and build an amazing company around that. In many ways, we're becoming like "Github for Data".

We're working on many interesting and challenging problems, with a custom-built Haskell graph-database on the back-end and a cutting-edge Functional Reactive client-side framework in Javascript on the front-end [2]. Silk is well-funded by top-tier VCs (NEA and Atomico) and we're located in the city center of Amsterdam.

We're a financial media company, a poor man's - lest we say everyday man's - Bloomberg competitor, and a financial product SaaS all forged together into a powerful trident that is attacking the high seas of Wall Street in a relentless pursuit of transparency.

And conquer we shall! We've grown 100% quarter over quarter all last year and another 100% just in the last month. Our team has surged to 30+ people and the waves of revenue washed together to form a rushing roar with just one of our products going from nothing to $200k/month in under a year.

Being a media company we find our way into all kinds of cool stuff. Our office is furnished with things like a $3000 high-end bed that was sent to us to review. We got to talk to and get pictures with Warren Buffett and Lloyd Blankfein (CEO of Goldman Sachs) when they came to Detroit.

But, you interject, finance is one of the toughest startup seas to sail upon! The old boys club runs an ironclad ship with no visible decks for boarding. Avast! We've built a battering ram of a business in just a few short years that has pummeled its way deep into the heart of Wall Street. Old Ironsides has warmed itself to Benzinga and once a taste the thirst cannot be quenched.

And if you happen to trade or invest yourself you'll find us inside almost all of the major brokerages in the US.
So, where do you fit in this rigging, you swashbuckling scalawag? Well, our team is crazy ambitious, motivated, and experienced with shaking shit up. If you know your tech, and want on deck this is the place to do it. Your exact technical background and language of choice doesn't matter as much as your motivation and your ability to adapt quickly.

Why be a ninja when you can be a pirate? This ship is forging a new course, send an email to careers@benzinga.com to board!

Square, New York City (NYC)

Square! In 2013 we opened an office in NYC in SoHo. We've grown to nearly a hundred people across all disciplines and are working on building two of the highest impact products at Square.

In NYC we're looking for:

* Fullstack Engineers: work across Square's systems, from the money moving infrastructure that touched tens of billions of dollars last year, to one of the largest Ember.js apps in the world.

* Product managers: Help shape a product used by millions of businesses of all sizes.

* Product designers: work with the 80/20 team that we acquired in 2012

If you're interested, I'd love to chat and tell you more. Shoot me an email with you resume! wkm@squareup.com

We can sponsor VISAs.

http://square.jobs
IANAL but as long as money does not change hands they should be in the clear. There is nothing stopping someone on an H1B doing a "hobby" and then pitch that "hobby" to investors to get seed money to form a startup. The investors would then have to sponsor their new H1B.
> Note: Please offer only positive, constructive comments - we are looking to promote a positive atmosphere where collaboration is valued above all else.

And keep your rose-colored glasses on at all times. You shall see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil and never grow out of childhood.

Pipemetrics - Lausanne, Switzerland - Local only

Senior developer, C / C++ / Windows

Looking for experienced developers to help expanding our existing product into a suite of complimentary products and services (https://bvckup2.com).

--

Basic requirements - Solid C/C++ with a focus on producing lean and efficient code; considertable experience developing and shipping software for the Windows platform.

Good to have - Knowing one's way around Linux, both the development toolchain and the shell; PHP, JS, SQL; people skills for communicating with users.

Nice to have - Embedded and kernel development experience.

Ideally, you should be reasonably comfortable with all elements of a system that allows controlling a Windows app through an externally hosted web interface - from Windows, through the network to the PHP/SQL backend to the HTML/JS web frontend.

The company is built around the notion of "doing one simple thing, but doing it really well." This doesn't mean creating simplistic software, but rather having a single primary function that captures one specific user need and then providing a host of supporting features to make things simple and convenient. This is a fairly alien approach on Windows where the software still tends to compete on the length of the feature list first and foremost. However, the good news is that there is a substantial demand for simpler, but better-made software. This is what we do.

Prior to founding Pipemetrics, I was the principal person behind Hamachi VPN service (http://swapped.cc/hamachi).

Indeed, as a lifelong OCD sufferer, OCD has done more to keep me from achieving anything vaguely goal-oriented than to order my life efficiently.

I don't get all huffy when I see someone use 'OCD' like the author does, that's pointless. But it does make me think 'oh this person probably has no idea what they're talking about' before I even click the link.
Actually, BlueMix gives you 375 hours of 1 gigabyte units. If your web app is configured to use 0.5 gigs of RAM, then you get 2 * 375 hours free per month. I was running a node web app with a data store using a combined 0.25 gig units, so running that 24/7 would only use up half of the free monthly tier.

IBM is trying to buy there way into the market.
About Scry Analytics:

Scry Analytics (www.scryanalytics.com) provides Big Data Science solutions to do predictive and prescriptive analytics (i.e., to "forecast the future") and our aim is to:

* Codify work-flows in the services industries so that they are well-defined & repeatable.

* Collate and harmonize client's data that is required for such work-flow systems.

* Provide Scry Analytics' proprietary data that improves the key performance indicators and the characteristics of such work-flow systems.

* Use our proprietary Big Data Science platform as well as deep Computer Science & Math algorithms to build decision support systems that improve the metrics related to these work-flows.

Although Scry Analytics provides analytics and Big Data Science services, our aim is to minimize these services by providing automation and software solutions (where we can). We are currently solving problems in the following domains:

* Retail

* Banking and Insurance

* Inventory & Transportation of After Market Parts; Maintenance

* Utilities and Telecom

* Health care

Since most techniques that Scry Analytics is using are taken from cutting-edge research, the kind of solutions that Scry Analytics is building are unlikely to be built by companies that provide data analysts in a staff augmentation mode or those that provide IT professionals. So, we are looking for Bachelors, Masters, and PhDs in computer science, data analytics or math that have a "research" or "advanced development" bent.﻿

I think the problem is non-orthogonality. So many choices are bundled together, and you have to decide everything at once, instead of taking it one at a time. For a MacBook, back when the line was really simple, you'd pick a size, then pick a speed, pick storage, etc., more or less independently. All you had to control for at each stage was cost. iPhones were even simpler: pick a storage size and you're done.

Now, things are bundled together. If you choose an iPhone screen size first, you're implicitly choosing camera quality, materials, speed, fingerprint recognition, and such things all at once. If you like a plastic case (some people do!) then 4" is your only choice. If you want the best camera, you have to get a 5.5" phone even if that doesn't fit in your pocket. If you're buying a MacBook, you have to optimize ports, weight, speed, fancy new haptic trackpad, and other such things all at once.

Compared to other manufacturers, Apple is still doing pretty well here. But it's still considerably worse than it used to be.
Thanks for reading to the end; I appreciate it.

I quoted "fold" because it is essentially a vocabulary word (which is the whole reason I quote it), it only feels like a language keyword because it is designed and programmer typically learned it.
Addepar - Mountain View, CA; New York, NY; VISA
