PrintToPeer | Calgary, Canada | Full-Stack Developer | on-site only

PrintToPeer is the first universal printing system for 3D printers, connecting them to the web. With a web interface and using Raspberry Pis as print servers, our system makes it 10x easier to use and share a 3D printer. We have challenged ourselves to redefine 3D printing, making the technology accessible, and enabling entirely new applications.

Our users have printed thousands of times, and we are expanding the platform to connect with other services. Our main objectives are to implement a RESTful API, and scale the service internationally. PrintToPeer is primarily built with rails on AWS.

We were 250% successfully crowdfunded, and have funding in place for a dev hire. You will be joining two technical founders with a love of cutting edge technologies.

In a lot of cases they did, sort of. But they didn't take from distinctly African names so much as they took from broadly Arabic names. So Rashid, Jamal, Kareem, Omar etc. were pretty popular for a good while.
That's Box!
It's possible for something to burn hot enough to split water molecules apart. I don't know if lithium metal qualifies, but that could be what the MSDS is referring to.
I think it is a fine thing to be outraged about the US kidnapping people, it is pretty outrageous. I've used "kidnap" repeatedly to hint at that, rather than sticking to "extraordinary rendition".

I think it is really stupid to be outraged that the CIA is kidnapping people off of the street in the US, because they are not doing that.

I feel like I am repeating myself, but from what I can tell from your reply here, you don't seem to see what I am getting at.
That's the subject of the post immediately preceeding this one:

Even if this turns out to be 100% real, flying cars coming from it seems rather unlikely. The highest amount of thrust they supposedly got from it was 750mN at 2.5KW. Sounds pretty lame compared to an electric motor or jet engine. It might be a world-beater for space propulsion, but unless the efficiency can go up multiple orders of magnitude, it doesn't sound like anybody would bother using it for getting around on Earth.

Maybe it was an AngelList hiccup. I find their "application" process odd.
While the story may be apocryphal, it is said that John thought that Autodesk began its slide to a "normal" company when they had to hire their first employee with an IQ less than 200.
It seems to me that GraphQL could be awesome when you exclusively control the back-end and the front-end, but do you think it will work as well if you're building an API that also needs to support third-party clients? Would REST still be better in that scenario?

Edit: I see that they partially address this: "Many of these attributes are linked to the fact that “REST is intended for long-lived network-based applications that span multiple organizations” according to its inventor. This is not a requirement for APIs that serve a client app built within the same organization."
For those that used Norton Commander in MS-DOS, MC is basically a clone with the same keyboard shortcuts and similar actions.

I use MC occasionally when copying or moving large numbers of files around where repeated `mv` commands would be tedious.

It's a good tool to have around even if you don't need it often. On OS X you can run `brew install mc`.
You're saying you can't tell when you're getting too drunk to function at all? I'm nearly positive that if I drink anymore past that point, that's when I'd be blackout drunk. I'm not moralizing, I'm saying that your normal does not match with my experience at all. I would also say that the approval of isolated subgroups does not constitute normalcy.
But he was right to question it?
Should Developers Still Pay for Game Engines?
Tinfoil hat time?
The TV show Crowd Control did something about this last year (http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/crowd-control/videos/e...)
If anyone is wondering: KeithP is Keith Packard of X.org fame - he was the driving force behind forking and advancing an otherwise stagnant xfree86, giving us things like the DAMAGE extension and other good stuff.
HTML5 is no smaller than its predecessors. It's considerably larger.
Many cartridges came with custom hardware, you have to implement them specifically, which implies special casing for the hardware, which sometimes implies special casing for the individual game.
That duration was measured by a legal clock rather than a natural clock.

Because of that, since 1995, it has been 20 years from filing; prior to that it was 20 years from filing OR 17 years from issue. That enabled "submarine patents", wherein the applicant could intentionally delay consideration of the application to extent the period of market exclusivity.

Design patents have a shorter term, but no one cares how long they last because they are largely worthless, and more like trademarks than actual patents.
The conclusions:

1) The last two decades, however, have led to a “ghettoization” of distinctively Black names, namely, a distinctively Black name is now a much stronger predictor of socioeconomic status.

2) We find no relationship between how Black one’s name is and life outcomes after controlling for other factors. If that conclusion is correct, then the proper interpretation of earlier audit studies
using Black names on resumes is either that the impact of names
does not extend beyond the callback decision (because race is
directly observed at the interview stage), or that names are correlated
with determinants of productivity not captured by a resume.
In our data, it is difficult to distinguish between these
competing hypotheses.
Whoops! I merged a PR earlier today that broke searching Github issues; thanks for pointing that out!
Re: the risk of overfetching, this is certainly a risk. Like any tool, it can be misused. One of the motivations of Relay is in fact this very issue. By coupling the data-fetching with the view more tightly, we can more accurately track and fix overfetching earlier in the development cycle.

In terms of being not too expensive, an important attribute of the system is that the server publishes capabilities that clients selectively use. For example, we explicitly do not allow clients to send up arbitrary strings for filtering and query predicates and what not; servers have to explicitly expose those via arguments to fields. eventMembers(isViewerFriend: true) { ... } or similar formulations that are encoded in the type system. This prevents people from ordering inefficiently (e.g. large data sets without indexes).

Re: pagination. This is absolutely a core pattern that we are excited to talk about as we explain the system more. Broadly we handle pagination through call arguments, e.g. friends(after: $someCursor, first: 10) { ... } There's a lot of subtlety there which I won't go into until we dive into that topic deeply.
I never said that they were any good, you just asked if it exists.

I personally don't know why one would use any of the GCE/AWS/Azure ML offerings apart for really small use cases (in which case you probably don't have enough data). Most businesses with an ML component (like my startup) need millions of predictions per day which would be crazy expensive on any of those platforms.
Moderation is pretty weird in this thread. I got voted down for pointing out that the US power grid is likely to experience problems when entire residential neighborhoods full of Tesla owners try to charge their Model S at once.

I don't think many people around here understand (a) just how efficient gasoline really is at storing energy, and (b) just how much energy is used by a typical passenger car.
Well in an up round they would probably participate and the value of their stock goes up either way so they're winning.
Cute article about the genre of bugs: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/anthonyv/...
>> However, I think aside from benefiting companies, a lack of transparency around salaries benefits those who are good at negotiating, whereas complete transparency helps those who are not good at negotiating.

This is exactly why salaries _should_ be transparent. Skill at negotiating salaries, unless you are an agent, is not a relevant skill. If you are an engineer, for example, the company should not be rewarding or penalizing you for your salary negotiation skills.

No, I don't think I am.

The CIA definitely has taken people from the US - even innocent ones - not necessarily 'from the streets'. It has also targeted and killed US citizens without trials.

I think it is being informed by these facts along with similar feelings towards the CIA's 'kidnapping' and 'manslaughtering' of innocent non-citizens, that is repugnant to those with the palate for more civil tone and direction of real defense and intelligence objectives.
Making $20 million a year SaaS companies into $22 million a year SaaS companies. If you have reasonable expectation that I can actually deliver on that, then you're pretty much willing to say yes to any rate I quote.

If you're curious "How does one turn a $20 million a year SaaS company into a $22 million a year SaaS company?", there exist many options depending on the specifics of the company and virtually all of them are doable. For example, if you increase the rate at which the SaaS company closes deals by a modest amount, that could reasonably hit that by itself. You could do that by some combination of A/B testing, better email marketing, tweaking sales processes, etc, alone or in combination. I've blogged pretty extensively on all those topics if you're curious.

These are not necessarily all that technically complicated. If you can figure out ActionMailer, an if statement, and a for loop, you have every technical capability you need to be an engineer in charge of email marketing. The interesting bits are "What emails do I decide to send?", "What words go in those emails?", and "What goes in the if statement?"

The actual work is exactly as dominated by meat-and-potatoes execution ability as you think it is.

If so, why don't they publicize their annual returns?

"Come up with"? Absolute monarchies actually worked pretty well overall, we don't need to "come up with" anything when we can just restore the Stuarts[0] and their system, for instance. Okay, the current elites (who have the most chance of making such a change nonviolently for a large number of people) might want to make some alterations for modern technology and to transition away from the incredibly egotistical viewpoint of the People thinking they know anything about governance, and they might want to make sure the guy they put in charge has a philosophy and will at least approaching that of the late Lee Kuan Yew.

But really we just need anything that gets power, perceived or real, away from the People.[1][2]

You're right, those numbers were simplified and don't take into account fees or taxes. As you say, the basic assumption still holds: 50k saved in the next five years will be worth significantly more 40 years from now when you retire. Whether that's 500k or 600k is immaterial to the central point: sacrificing salary early in your career means sacrificing huge financial gains over the course of your life.

I've done this before. It worked.

To figure out what number you should cite, look in a mirror. Keep saying bigger numbers. Don't stop until you've got a sheepish grin on your face.
Right, let me just go ahead and file an issue with the WHATWG to deprecate `width`
This doesn't have to violate conservation of momentum to work. We don't understand how it works yet, which precludes us from saying that it violates our current understanding of physics.

I'm no physicist but this guy[1] is, and his paper — which is based off of research with evidence backing it up in the 1970's — suggests that the EmDrive creates propulsion from Unruh radiation[2].

I agree they are not exclusive, but I can see how my comment suggests they are. There's no harm in people doing both, and I agree they're more likely to vote if they participate, but mostly only due to correlation and not causation.
Glassdoor has never been accurate about any firm I had firsthand knowledge of.
Lucas Nussbaum’s systemd Lecture Slides
Yeah, now that you mention it, AutoCAD does do a fair bit of two letter aliasing. Not quite as directly as Revit's where you just hit the letters and don't need to press Enter.

I'm not a huge fan of Revit either. Thankfully one of my coworkers handles most of what we have to do here (families of our products for architects/designers to use in their projects), though I've still gotten dragged into more than a few discussions about it. Like whether we build our assets in an older version that more people can import but has known bugs in the photometrics display, or if we go to the new one and then have people coming and asking "Hey do you have these for 2011?" and having to remake it from scratch. Ugh.
We're hoping someday it won't; with the rapid pace of automation, we're going to need to rethink what constitutes a productive adult life. We're quickly moving past the point at which society needs a 40-hour work week, and it's time for business to recognize that fact.

Where does C2 come in on the stack? Is it compiling/translating LLVM IR?
C versions of those ship pre-built on OS X.
Go also dynamically links glibc by default on linux, for the domain name resolver functions.

I'm not sure what Go does on OS X, but I know that it's not possible to statically link the c library on OS X.
SEEKING WORK - Remote (EST / UTC-5, but flexible about hours)

Remember when developing a website involved writing cgi scripts in Perl, cross-browser compatibility meant supporting Mosaic and Netscape, Java applets were the hottest thing, HotDog was cool and people debated whether to install Slackware or Red Hat? That's when I first started doing web development, today I believe I'm starting to get the hang of it.

At one point or another I've been paid to develop in Python, C, Java, PHP, Perl, x86 assembly, Matlab, Fortran, JavaScript and a few others. I do mostly Python these days.

If you only care about iOS and a layer on the backend that can sit between your actual app server and the client you could consider Jetstream:

It's a considerably different model however. More about realtime updates.
Thanks a lot for these insights. I'm definitely looking forward to discover more about all this.
look really clean! I've been using 10fastfingers but always wondered about where the "instant result" and this makes it easy to see it as I go

suggestion:

- if the title of the passage could be displayed in the result page it'd be cool too, sometimes I can't look at the title of the passage while typing.

- turns out I mess up up typing a lot, would you consider allowing use of "ctrl + a" to select entire word for faster deleting of the text?
Language VMs have to be very low-level and do a lot of "unsafe" things that Rust and such wouldn't like.
Good point, hopefully the controller is DRM'ed to keep it from being used by a thief.
I don't think anyone would even care a bit if he learned the art of brevity but it's an endless stream of meandering 500 word screeds that visually take up a lot of space.
Something which I think is only hinted at here: negotiating pay requires a willingness to lose the job if the negotiation doesn't go well.

If hirer has an equally good candidate or consultant who quotes a lower rate: you're out of the running. Even if you're better, you have to be better value according to the employer's own assessment.

There are few employers who are price insensitive and you have to be in an overwhelmingly lucky or privileged position to find them.
What if there is an s or a period? Wildcard regexp doesn't work in the browser, unless you install add-ons.
That's enlightening and encouraging. A formula-based/matrix approach might make it more acceptable because it isn't personal. One thing I haven't seen is how to handle COLA. I'm sure that can also be added as an additional factor, though.

If you tell HR "I won't tell you what I made last job, but I'll tell you what I want to make", then you're basically following most of Patrick's advice.

If you can lie convincingly, lying might be an effective negotiating strategy. Lying convincingly here generally involves you knowing as much about the job market as employers do, though, and that tends not to be the case: employers talk to 10 people for every 1 hire they make, and so they get a pretty good snapshot not just of the field at large, but of what other people at your current firm make.

Lying unconvincingly is a very poor strategy. It broadcasts both naivete and insecurity to your counterparty, both of which are exploitable characteristics.
So is Relay an alternative to Flux or how are the two related?
I guess the entire professional investment community is incompetent then for investing so little of their money in VC.
Strategic advisory work. As an industry analyst, I would get paid up to about $18K per day from large clients. (Really a day plus travel plus prep plus some follow-up. And sometimes two of us would do the engagement.) But, still, $5K-$10K per day although we didn't get that level of engagement all that frequently. $10K-$20K is also the rough going rate for speaking at sales meetings, etc.

$2K or so per day was more routine for reports on a variety of topics (competitive analysis, strategic options, etc.) Expert legal work is probably in the $400-$500/hour range.
That's a great point. We definitely have designed it for first party clients in mind. This doesn't preclude use cases in the future, but for the short term, this is a nongoal.
PipelineDB (YC W14) | Systems Engineers and Frontend Engineers | San Francisco | Full time | jobs@pipelinedb.com

We're on a mission to build a new type of database for a modern world in which information is constantly moving, and moving fast. PipelineDB runs SQL queries continuously on large volumes of streaming data, giving companies the capability to easily develop scalable, realtime applications and services using only a familiar SQL interface.

Our small team has backgrounds from Berkeley, MIT, Facebook, Locu and AdRoll, and we're all doing exactly what we want to be doing: building a groundbreaking new product out of thin air.
As an early stage engineer you'll ultimately own a very large part of the product. Which part of the product you take charge of depends on where your interests are, but there are several different potential areas of focus. You'll be entrusted to make sound architectural decisions as well as implement your vision effectively.
We are well funded by top investors including SV Angel, Susa Ventures, Data Collective, Paul Buchheit, and more.
If you’ve been waiting for an opportunity like this, please send your resume and a quick blurb about yourself to jobs@pipelinedb.com.

* Choose your own setup
* No vacation policy other than that it is strongly encouraged
* Large equity ownership
Great to see psychology going after this in an open forum. The current publishing systems are likely to generate some false positives even assuming no bad actors. Replication by independent 3rd parties is a great way to confirm important results. I wish the nutrition community would do this for diets and nutrition before changing the guidelines all the time.
