Seattle/NYC/Philly Looking for full-stack devs for Curalate as we tackle some of the gnarliest problems at the intersection of computer vision and big data. Info here: https://boards.greenhouse.io/curalate#.VWxvCJNVikq

--Responsibilities: You'll be expected to dive into our stack and toolkit, and start shipping code on day one. We're not hiring code monkeys; you'll be given substantial feature ownership, and we'll expect you to contribute product ideas as well as code.

We're not language zealots; we believe in using the right tool for the job, and are comfortable with a polyglot codebase. That said, today we lean on:

-Languages: Scala, Javascript
-Infrastructure: AWS, Asgard
-Databases: Cassandra, MySQL (RDS), DynamoDB, Redis, Redshift, CloudSearch
-Frameworks: Finagle, Storm, Scalatra, Lift
-Front End/Mobile: AngularJS, Bootstrap, Backbone, Ionic (Production experience with any of these technologies is not required. However, candidates will, at a minimum, want to have experience with an object-oriented language)

--About You: We’re much more interested in hiring developers with exceptional problem solving skills, creative out-of-the-box thinking, and comfort with quickly learning, evaluating, and deploying new technologies. While we're not looking for any specific industry experience you should have at least two years of experience and come prepared to join a fast-moving team. Above all else, we're looking for others who are as excited about the potential in this space as we are, and who will be willing to join us in moving fast and breaking things as we execute against that vision.

--About Us: Curalate is the leading marketing and analytics suite for the visual web and a partner to more than 500 of the world’s most-loved brands. We’re a passionate team of visual thinkers, makers, and storytellers dedicated to helping brands create authentic connections with consumers through images. And we’re building something really powerful.

I've been following the rise of React fairly closely and the speed thing has never felt oversold to me. It was more: "Faster than angular on complex pages unless you jump through lots of hoops" and that still seems fairly reasonable.

You are not quite correct about power consumption. FPGA can be quite competitive when applied right.

First, of course, are very efficient Ethernet ports and many other efficient hard blocks.

Second, you can fuse many operations into one. For example, you cannot fuse 3 FP adds into one operation nor on GPU neither on CPU. It is often 2 or 4, rarely something inbetween or outside of those. GPU and CPU operations on vectors can be wasteful as vectors can be underutilized and on FPGA you can create circuitry that fits problem rather well.

I also think that you are not quite right about I/O or memory boundness. In FPGA you can add another I/O controller and use extra device for I/O, loading spare resource in FPGA. Same for memory - DDR controller synthesized into cells won't be very optimal, but you can have many of them nevertheless.
Installing GPG Tools on Mac sets up gpg-agent automatically and has Mac Keychain support. I use the agent support all the time for signing Maven artifacts (which requires password-less entry due to the way the release plugin works).

Fliver | New York City | Founding Engineer | Full Time

While there are many sources of information on the Internet, nothing compares to recommendations from people we know. Fliver’s mission is to allow everyone — no matter who they are or where they come from — to share their personal expertise.

You should be a hands-on technical leader with startup experience and strong Javascript. You would be the first full time technical hire and would join the founders, a part time iOS developer, and a small team of consultants in forging a new social platform.

We believe that people do their best work when happy and fulfilled, so we are building a culture that celebrates kindness and excellence in equal measure. We are supported by New York's finest angel investors, and with your help we can bring the world together through shared experience.

The role involves:

* Technical product management

* Development of the web application and REST API

* Analysis of usage data at scale

* System administration

* Frequent interaction with early adopters

Our stack includes React, Flux, Node, Koa, Docker, Firebase, and Elasticsearch.

Please email careers@fliverapp.com with "Hacker News" in the subject line. Include a brief introduction, links to LinkedIn and Github, as well as any questions you have. We’re looking forward to hearing from you! (No recruiters please.)

FreeAgent, Edinburgh or REMOTE (UK)

http://www.freeagent.com

We're looking for software engineers of all levels and technical managers to come and work on our flagship product FreeAgent. We're a growing team of 80, based in Edinburgh but with remote staff around the UK (5 engineers are fully remote).

We have a lot of happy customers (40,000+, NPS=76!), a lot of traffic (13 million+ page views/mo), and some lovely staff to work alongside, learn from and have fun with. We invest a lot of time in our platform (code health, scalability, security) as well as working on new features, which is nice.

Our engineers tend to be full stack, but we’re seeing people move towards more specialist work these days, such as front-end programming (we're doing a lot of React.js, primarily on our iOS app), our real-time accounting engine, data science. People play to their strengths really. Our stack is intentionally straightforward. It's sensible and sustainable. Javascript aside, we mainly write Ruby alongside MySQL, RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch, Puppet.

We are looking for UK-based full-time staff right now, but we'd also be interested to chat to UK-based freelancers interested in a longer-term contract (e.g. 6 months+).

Connexity - Camarillo, CA (Los Angeles area)

Are you a talented software engineer ready to make a huge impact in a medium-sized business? We work at a scale where seemingly small improvements can have a big impact. You'll be working right in the heart of the profit center.

Our division of Connexity works in online display advertising through RTB, and run 50 to 100 million impressions each day. Our total transaction volume is between 5 and 10 billion per day, and we've served ads on nearly every site you've ever visited.

We're primarily looking for someone to contribute to our Rails app. It's used to administer hundreds of advertising campaigns across hundreds of publisher sites. It's not just boring CRUD. It's the heart of our display advertising business. The business folks will know you and have a tremendous amount of appreciation for your work.

This role is a great way to learn advertising tech at scale as well as other tools. In addition to the conventional Rails work, you'd get hands on experience with Redis, Hbase, PostgreSQL, and Scala. Several on the team started in the Rails app and have moved into other areas of interest (low-latency RTB bidder written in C or sophisticated reporting and optimization). It's really possible to get bored around here unless you're a boring person.

Our team is sharp and works well together. We enjoy perks such as paid lunch, a 9/80 schedule (to get every other Friday off) and unlimited vacation; the culture of our team recognizes and respects the importance of your non-work life. Also, Ventura county is a pretty nice place to live/work (unless you hate temperate coastal weather). If you've got Rails or other relevant web app experience, that's a good start. More importantly, you'll be eager to learn display advertising inside and out. Attitude, ambition and sound judgement trump experience with a specific set of tools.

Unless you prefer to start with a HR-oriented chat, you can reach me (a lead engineer on the team) at david.larsen@connexity.com.
I have no clue on OneDrive, but Cortana can be disabled. The UI can be shrink a lot, but the button remains to provide "basic" local search and similar. In fact Cortana is disabled by default, or it was on the build that added it.

As to the Live Account thing, as another poster said there is a hidden button to bypass it, but they intentionally make it hard to find to try and force people into using a Live Account (and things like OneDrive and the Store integrate with a Live Account also, so without one functionality will break).

I’m a full stack developer, with a strong design sense, that has worked with small startups and large companies to build iOS, OS X, and web applications. I have proven experience taking products from idea to launch, as well as improving existing products.

I have a knack for learning new languages and frameworks, but I’ve worked with these previously:

- Objective-C and Swift for iOS and OS X

- Ruby (with Rails and Sinatra), PHP, and Node.js on the server side

- Javascript, jQuery, Sass, CoffeeScript, Backbone.js, and Browserify on the front end

Probably one of the worst reviews of the episode i've read so far. Other than the first two paragraphs, it's not really even a review. Rather just a restating of the events in the show. The author may add in small, obvious commentary, but she's mostly just reciting quotes and retelling the story.

Even when she does share her actual opinion it's really disengaging:

>> I appreciate the new information that [Spoiler Redacted], I suppose.

At this point I'm already detached as a reader, and really don't care for the author's opinion. Most book readers are chomping at the bit for new material, and shrugging your shoulders when it finally happens just tells me that the author isn't the type to ever be satisfied.

Maybe someone can clue me in, but why is this on HN?
Nah I won't take it the wrong way, and I'm not really arguing for a feminism problem, though I do recall an incident or two some months back at a gaming convention or something.

Point being I am male too, I don't think I or my coworkers suffers from any -ism, but I might be unaware of it.
One difference is that they were able to acquire the research talent without having to shoulder the burden of the administration talent (in an administration ecosystem that is not of interest to Uber, while Uber already employs enough middle management to take care of the project's needs).

Most companies would go through a full acquire and at least try to soft-land anyone they don't have a use for. Uber has made clear time and again that it has zero interest in individuals that it cannot use.
Location: London, UK

Remote: No preference

Willing to relocate: Negotiable

Technologies:

* Languages: Python, JavaScript, C#, Java

* Databases: Oracle, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, SQLite

* Frameworks: Angular, Bootstrap, Django, Flask, Node.js

* Methodologies: TDD, Agile

About me: Working for a scientific programming and consultancy company has provided me with a range of experience on a variety of technologies. As a result, I would characterize myself as a full stack engineer and a generalist: less fussed about the particular language or framework and more keen to use the best tools for the task at hand. I have done big data extraction and analysis, database design, server side programming mostly in Python and C#. A large chunk of my client side experience has been in Angular, with a lot of data visualisation using the more popular JavaScript libraries such as D3 and Highcharts.

I am looking for something fun and challenging, ideally a full-stack role in a good team. I have a strong preference for working with people who appreciate the long term pay-offs of good coding practices for production code (TDD, Continuous Integration and all the juicy stuff developers dream about) and are happy to experiment with new technologies, frameworks, algorithms, ideas.

I would disagree that karma is useful in this case. Given that there are no real standards for voting up or down, what quality, really, does karma measure? Popularity and account age, and maybe little more. Does it mean the same thing as having high karma on reddit, or having a popular youtube comment?

I would argue that it does, and for that reason, it's useless outside the context of sorting a comment thread. Certainly, it doesn't justify giving top rank to a job post.
