SnapDocs, Inc. - San Francisco, CA - Software Engineers (rails) - Full Time, Onsite and Remote-leading-to-onsite

About us: We're a small team tackling the huge offline market of consumer lending. It's all papers and fax machines now, and we're going to bust it wide open.

About you: You’ve got 3-6 years experience building web apps. You’re interested in owning a product, everything from calling clients to wireframes to writing code and analyzing metrics. 2+ years with rails is ideal. We are looking at miles and miles of green field, so be pumped about building new things that will immediately go into paying customers' hands.

More about us: We're growing fast (double-digit month-over-month). We do SaaS for non-technical users. Everyday, our clients call and email to say that we're making them happy, and that feels great. We’re becoming ubiquitous in one segment of the market and we’re looking to hire another core engineer to help us expand further.

Details: Our office is in downtown San Francisco, right off of Union Square. We prefer to hire for onsite. But if you want to start remote and move towards relocation, we'd be open to that too. (Our UX guy did just that very thing.) We offer health insurance and generous vacation. Compensation will be salary plus meaningful equity. As an early engineer you'll be shaping this company.

More details: pivotal, git, rails 3&4, Postgres, slack, opsworks, AWS, jquery, balsamiq, coffee (as in... you know... code fuel)

Send an email to jobs@snapdocs.com telling us about yourself.

Please include a resume and a link to github if your profile is informative.
This comparison is a really bad one. The amount of resources a dog consumes is very very very very far below the cost of raising a child (~$250k in the US, up to age 18). And that's just til age 18! There's another 80 years of adult life after that, and the rate of consumption only increases (especially if they themselves have children etc). I think your key error here is counting unproductivity of the pets as an issue: from the perspective of resource consumption, that's not a bad thing.

This may sound like a pedantic complaint about your point, but the fact of the matter is that the average DINK couple who decides not to have kids is going to be using massively less resources, despite having a lavish lifestyle as a substitute. I agree that discretionary resource consumption is a perhaps-underrated concern when compared with raw population, but the point you're making really has nothing to do with that.

That sounds like something different (or maybe the airline lets random people into TSA Pre-check?). This is the service people are talking about: http://www.tsa.gov/tsa-precheck.

The new administration at CMU (President Suresh et al.) are very eager to open the kimono. You can check out his background with fundraising etc. They are all about strategic partnerships; frankly in this case they were too eager to please someone with very deep pockets and I am guessing weren't aware of how aggressive Uber is or they were blinded by the prospect of money.

>"NPR is such a tamed softball throwing limpdick entity I consider them almost as bad as CNN"

I used to have rather high regard for NPR until, and I don't know if this has just changed or I just started realizing that NPR has significant backers that are not only Republican and Conservative in spirit, but also beltway bandits, big recipients of government contracts. I always feel like NPR is really not all that different than Fox News albeit far less angry and hateful, but always quick to tuck their tail and throw a flash-bang at any possibility that light is shone on certain things. It really reminds me of the self-congratulatory liberal aristocracy that loves to make itself feel better with insignificant and meaningless efforts.
Why are you putting Emoji at the end of your HN submission titles?
And related, removing a feature will almost certainly cause you to lose some users. And since users are hard to acquire, this is a big deal.
> And that's just til age 18! There's another 80 years of adult life after that

Well, if you assume an average life expectancy of 98 years, but I'm not sure why you would do that.
> Actually, though Jefferson may have lost the debate, I think that history has proven him correct.

The original point was about Obama saying his top priority is keeping America safe. Whether or not TJ was right goes to what should be his top priority, not what it is under the document that defines the scope of his responsibilities.

> I would also venture to say that it is the lack of accountability for those who violate the Constitution in all three branches that has further encouraged a slide down the slippery path where far too many people want to imagine the Constitution as a "living document" instead of a static reference only modifiable my amendment, as it truly should be.

That's a double-edged sword, because a strict textual interpretation of the 4th amendment doesn't get you where you need to be re: surveillance. Remember, the whole "expectation of privacy" is a "living Constitution" bolt-on. What the 4th amendment's text actually lays out is basically a protection against what would be trespass if done by a private person: http://www.heritage.org/constitution/#!/amendments/4/essays/.... All of the things explicitly mentioned in the amendment are things in which people have property interests. You have no property interests in the records AT&T keeps about what you do online--extending the 4th amendment to that requires reliance on the whole "expectation of privacy" framework that simply did not exist when the Constitution was written.

> “On every question of construction, carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.”

You're begging the question. What is the "spirit manifested in the debates?" 55 delegates debated the provisions of the document, and they had 55 points of view. Whose "spirit" should we give credit to? The literal text is the best evidence of the compromise that actually came out of that process.
Another option is wolfSSL (https://wolfssl.com/wolfSSL/Home.html) which is GPL-compatible, but also has a commercial license option. They have an OpenSSL compatibility layer, but are not a derivative of OpenSSL.

My experience with their software has been very positive, and they have avoided the majority of recent insecurities. Plus they have great support for anyone working on open source projects.
While I could understand buying Sunrise calendar for the userbase, this acquisition is surprising in that matter.
I've been a fan of Matasano's work ever since I heard of it, and seeing all three companies unify together as NCC Group makes a lot of sense. Best of luck with everything, not that you'll need luck. :)

My blog posts this year about the non-technical aspects of software development (in particular office design) have made the front page of Hacker News, received over 200K views, and gotten me interviewed by Wired magazine. I'm looking to transition away from programming and into a role writing more prose than code.
If someone is suffiently abusive and paranoid then the distinction is meaningless - they will assume that any notification they can't read is one they don't approve of, and somebody in that situation wouldn't benefit from encrypted notifications. They likely wouldn't have notifications on at all, so encrypting them doesn't make them safe to use in this situation.

That doesn't make encrypted notifications useless in general or otherwise bad, but it's an oversell to say this makes them useful for abuse victims. In fact, selling it that way is dangerous given a sufficiently abusive and motivated adversary as it's false security.
> I'd sooner switch completely to Linux

I do local IT. Word of mouth side job stuff. Its nice to remind myself why Windows is shit down in the trenches sometimes, and its a lot easier to manually uninstall a half dozen viruses and edit out registry rootkits for an hour after a week of coding.

I normally bill pretty standard in home support freelancer rates, $60 an hour with a minimum $80 to come. If I ever find a computer running Windows XP, I always offer and implore the owner (assuming they are not dependent on some software that has no Linux surrogate) to let me throw Lubuntu 14.04 on the thing. I do it for free, and offer up to three hours of tutoring also for free, because Windows XP is literally cancer. Its a tumor you don't know is there until it goes malignant and kills you by having some unpublished never to be patched exploit used to wreck your PC and steal all your personal information or lock you out. Its more unsafe than unprotected sex in a sleazy strip club.

Feature wise, Lubuntu matches pretty much perfectly, and even people still using XP often have Android phones, so the Lubuntu software center makes a lot more sense to people than have Play Store experience. Its not like anyone using these computers needs performance out of them - if they were trying to run a business or do anything intensive enough to require proprietary Windows only software they would have certainly updated the machine once in the last decade. They almost always are exclusively doing word processing and email, often not even web browsing because these are systems stuck with IE8 at best. And Lubutu does both of those things much better than XP ever did with auto-updating Firefox / Libreoffice and one click system upgrades every two years for LTS releases.

So yeah, switch to Linux, please. Your OS is hugely insecure and nobody is ever going to fix it.
No, seriously. All the lecture had to say to be correct and at least as useful is that C requires a build step unlike a lot of high level languages which don't.

Nothing about compilers vs interperters, none of that is relevant and the fact it's totally - incorrect is just icing.

This is not a terminology debating society, you're welcome to look up the definitions on wikipedia or take an introductory CS course if you're not sure what a compiler is or the difference between a language and a compiler/interpreter for it.
Phd students and post docs are exploited because they can be - they usually don't have any leverage. They may go in knowing that they will be taken advantage of but that's not the same as agreeing that the arrangement is fair.

It isn't like going into the priesthood where there is an expectation of sacrifice. The presidents of these institutions are certainly not setting an example of sacrifice (nor am I saying they should). [The president of C.M. gets over $500K a year.]
Mozilla is technically a community. The Mozilla Foundation supports that community, and also has 100% owning interest in the Mozilla Corporation.

Let me say it explicitly:

Ending collection does not change anything.

So they can't connect? So what? So GCHQ (Britain's NSA) does the collection and then shares it with the NSA. Problem solved.

It's the storage of this information which should be stopped.
Self-hosting C compiler written in 10 hours
Can a team still send expensive low performing players to the minors to get them off the cap? They'd still be eating salary (which would be spending like Steinbrenner). I wouldn't be surprised if there were other ways for the richer teams to game the cap because they can afford to eat the expense.
I recently tripped over this when I created a "reason.h"
and discovered that Windows had a file of the same name
deep inside MFC.

It is my understanding that that would be solved by placing your file in a local directory called 'inc/' and having:

#include "inc/reason.h"

instead of:

#include <reason.h>

(or just replacing "" with <>).
But I have never programmed in VSC before, so I may be wrong.
The little time I've spent learning Mithril [1] makes me think it's a nice middle ground between speed and pleasurable coding experience.

Their benchmarks have it at 8x faster at rendering (uncompiled) and 28x faster to load (although Benchmarks Lie (TM)).

It feels like writing vanilla javascript for the most part, which is delightful and exciting. The Views part however, which is most comparable with React since React only deals with views, is extremely reminiscent of React, and you can even write MSX, which is just basically JSX with some subtle differences.

Exactly. At this point, 7 years since python 3.0 was first released, PyPy's lack of interest towards it is starting to harm the community.
If you Google the title of the article you can find the news source and click on the link without hitting paywalls.

The person who submitted the article still had some of the referrer links, mod=yahoo_hs&ref=yfp was at the end of the article's URL submission.
because it's fun! (Also because I've been putting emoji at the end of each of the titles of these bites in all the other forms: http://twitter.com/lilbitesofcocoa)
This probably has more to do with the extreme pain of licensing a new business in China.
The Inconvenience of Ergonomics
I've always maintained that breeding needs to be licensed. You need a license to drive, own a firearm, hell in some countries you need a license to own a goddamned TV. A breeding license with forced sterilization and tax penalties for non-compliance would eliminate this problem in a complete fair and equitable way.
Before ES6 im curious did you always need blocked scoped variables? Of course we used iife's when we needed to but how often did we need to do that compared to the times we used regular variables. Is it always worth the extra overhead to enforce everything being blocked scoped? What about times that we needed to alter something outside the scope? whether or not thats always a good idea is another discussion but there are valid uses. I remember people were getting all worked up over functional expressions vs declarations saying expressions were 'the one true way' since it more closely resemebles how the compiler reads it. As babel shows let and const are just var's with extra overhead. Dont get me wrong let and const are in the right direction but they are not 'the one true way'
Food is above trend; deaths, births, greenhouse gasses are well below. I'd say this reads as relatively good news so far.
For everyone not using DDG, click trough here: https://news.google.com/news/search?q=%22Microsoft%20Buys%20...
Microsoft rebranded Acompli, because they already had a strong brand in Outlook, but has left Sunrise alone, presumably because they don't have a strong calendar brand of their own (unless they just plan on making Sunrise into Outlook Calendar). I suspect that Wunderlist will either stay Wunderlist or become Outlook Tasks or somesuch.
Not to say that this is concrete evidence or to lend any credence to The Limits of Growth predictions, but there are at least some concerns about overfishing the oceans and a possible collapse there.

i'm not a web dev, so i could be missing something obvious, but i can't think of any use cases for inspecting the dom from native code. example?
It's not often you can put "forced sterilization" and "completely fair" in the same sentence and be correct. In my opinion, you didn't pull it off here.
You mean like tricking someone to carry an explosive? Yes, this is probably one of the real threats that the TSA's scanning procedures guards against.
That's half of why I do it too, whenever I (grudgingly) fly to the US. The other half is that I don't want people taking naked photos of me, and especially not for security theater.

I wish more people did it, though. Whenever I fly I'm the only one I see opting out. When I was flying from Munich to DCA they had one of these scanners installed to a lone US-only gate, and I said I wanted to opt out, and the (German) airport employee looked at me surprised and said "why?". He couldn't understand why someone would opt out of the machine, I guess he thought it was some kind of metal detector or something.
Second this. Video processing is somewhere I've used fpgas with great success. Embedded systems especially get a huge perf/watt boost when vision processing goes (at least partly) to an FPGA.

Video works really well because its discrete (60fps) and an FPGA just can't hit the clock speeds an asic will. If you already have a semantic clock requirement that is low, streaming works great.
Sorry, what I meant was more that since we have let, there isn't any good reason to use var anymore. I definitely don't advocate the thing in this article where he eliminates var usage by littering the code with IIFEs.
and if push comes to shove, the property rights of foreign investors will probably be pretty low on the priority list

Then I suppose it's good they don't let us invest very much in the country!

This makes it unlike e.g. Greece, where we're told there are a number of European banks outside with dangerous exposure, although there's been plenty of time to mitigate that. So conventional contagion might not be such a problem, I myself am worried about various goods and raw materials that the PRC has a current lock on. E.g. lots of pharmaceutical precursors.
Well... I'm not expecting to do both, and get 100fps on the client while also doing all the processing serverside.
