Tilt (YC W12) - Front End Engineer (Tilt/Open) - San Francisco - Onsite, Full-Time

Tilt/Open builds powerful tools to drive the world’s largest pre-order and crowdfunding projects. We’ve powered some of the most successful and well-known launches, working with companies like Lily, Soylent, Lytro, Navdy, Eero, Plastc, and many more.

We are a small “startup within a startup” team which grew from an experimental side project at Tilt, and many of us have backgrounds as former founders. We’re able to move extremely quickly, while also enjoying the benefits and support of the larger engineering organization and Tilt technology and brand.

We've migrated some of our user flows to a React + Flux stack and are looking for experienced front-end developers to help take this to the next level and own a few of the key experiences. Currently, our primary focus is around the admin dashboard and embeddable checkout flows. We’re looking for team members who pair strong technical skills with an innate desire to work closely with customers to drive the product forward. Beyond our own areas of expertise, we take great pride in being well-rounded, full-stack developers (which sometimes encompasses non-technical parts of the “stack”).

I designed the first commercial Bitcoin mining FPGAs, and though for awhile the FPGAs were not competitive with GPUs (overall, they beat them on power and usability) they eventually were (with the advent of Kintex and similar). Of course, that only lasted briefly, as the rapid growth in the market led to an influx of VC money to fund ASICs.

And that's where FPGAs shine; that small to medium volume market where small companies are doing innovative things but don't have the millions required to risk building an ASIC.
lol, everyone be sure to check out NYT on Glassdoor before applying.
Saluton,

I study Spanish because i live in the USA and Spanish is the de facto second language (almost all of the time). But Spanish wasn't useful in Turkey, Japan, Cairo, etc. where i did use Esperanto. I wish i could learn all the languages of the world, but i'm just not that good at it. Esperanto is easy.

But, more than that... In the USA a native Spanish speaker is (too) often discriminated against. As a non-native Spanish speaker i am always on the outside of conversations in Spanish. Esperanto is meant to be everybody's second(!) language, not be a homogenizing language for the planet. Esperanto speakers are all non-natives (actually there are some natives, but they don't have special powers :) so we Esperantists meet as equals.

To riff on what somebody else wrote, if a client said i had to learn Haskell, i'd be happy to be paid to do so. My "payment" for knowing Esperanto is the community of (mostly) intelligent, (mostly) compassionate, and (mostly) generous people i've met using it.

YMMV

Basically, it turns out that your population explodes when you're very poor, but then stabilizes and even shrinks as your society gets richer and richer. We have a population paradox: the highest-impact lifestyles are lived in countries with falling populations, while the major population growth takes place where the resources don't exist to disincentivize it.

Mostly it depends on where you are coming from. The key is that you'd want to avoid context switches. All my other tools are CLI, so adding an editor in a tmux pane rounds everything out. There is no context switch between my editor and my tools. If all my tools were GUI, It would be a cobbled together set of tools with an editor around it. If you were using an IDE suite and

It just depends where you start and are going.
I honestly don't think there's much specialist knowledge required. Just fly a few times, sans contraband, and keep your eyes open.

The TSA has always been about security theater. Unlike some I feel like their heart is in the right place (the same for the NSA too). It's too bad there's this huge expensive machine now with lots of entrenched interests and risk-averse leadership.

Of course, being the hackers that we are, we might wonder how that money would be better spent. I for one advocate for a 2 hour "passenger mixer" prior to the flight. It would be mandatory, but catered, open bar, where you get to know your other passengers, and vote on whether someone needs further attention from authorities. A free party and you take your fate into your hands? And even with premium booze it would be far cheaper than the TSA. Plus if you get blown up you have no-one to blame but yourself.

"let", of course, is a retrofit to Javascript. So was "var". In the early days of Javascript, before "strict mode", few people declared anything and most variables had global scope.

It's really hard to get a declaration-free language right. Python was the biggest success to date.

Identifying a 19th century telescope
Well, that's true in the US, but I don't know if that's necessarily true for any job.

For example in Japan, companies actually go out of their way to do things for you outside of your work, like find you a significant other.

If a company actually did things for me to try to keep me happy and treated me well, I think I would feel some sense of loyalty too. Unfortunately it seems hard to find these kinds of companies nowadays.
I'm using a simple shared editor such as collabedit or similar. You send the link to the shared space along with the phone number for the interview, and you let the candidate know that there will be some simple shared exercises so they need to be at a computer.

And then you ask your questions, and do FizzBuzz or similar, and watch them code.
It's not trivializing if the stakes are as high as they claim they are, as in people's lives.

And, I heartily agree. I can imagine the 2 guys cracking jokes, meaning no offense. Just happens, that in this country, violence and gruesome details are acceptable, but sexual innuendo are evil. Thank puritanical beginnings for this country, I guess.

The appropriate response is, "Hey guys, your sex jokes are disrupting peoples' concentration. Can you quiet them please?" And if they don't, ask them to leave. We're all mature here, or should be.

But that all goes to naught when the hivemind on Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, and the like take hold. It doesn't matter if it's false. Doesn't matter if it's been photoshopped. All that matters is someone poked a stick in the hornet's nest, and the sting means you lose your job, your income, your name, and your way of life.

Yes we can hope. That would be awesome
I'd like to see this test repeated, but with investigators smuggling bottled water instead of weapons. I bet the TSA would have a much higher success rate with that.
If you measure across those benchmarks, it indeed plateus.

However, we've been doing a lot of work on stuff that's not taken into the account to the average, notably:

* external calls (IO, cffi, etc.)

* warmup speed

* STM

* tons of small things with various external libs

Now this is obviously our own fault that we don't have good enough benchmarks, but it definitely does not plateu for everyone. Notably we're trying to address places where PyPy does not outperform CPython by 7x - if you get 7x performance improvement you're likely very happy. In real world gains can be smaller and we would rather tackle those first.

We're working on memory impact too btw.

Compatibility is pretty much "done" (complain if it does not work for you)
Is it a coincidence that this story appears the same week the senate renews the patriot act?
They were bought for <2M while they received 24M in funding? Am I missing something?
On the contrary, I pretty much only write JS and have for years now. And I think `var` has warped our brains, not the other way around.
We've found this out at one of my contracts. We've moved off of the typical $watch/$apply model for our directives and replaced it with a simple observable solution like Scheming (https://github.com/autoric/scheming). Our components are always watching attributes on our Scheming models, which are outside the digest cycle. It speeds things up, and is much nicer to work with IMO.
Onboarding Revolution: the simplest solution to create interactive tutorials
That disclaimer is a bit of a cop-out, given the subject matter..
Except ReactJS and Angular are not the same class of thing. It's more like comparing an Intel CPU and an AMD motherboard.
The fleet maintainers have taken a hard stance on keeping fleet simple with "just enough" features. This line has been worked out to be resource scheduling -- fleet will stick to unit colocation, simple fan out via conflicts, machine metadata and pinning to a specific machine id. If you need to do hardcore bin packing, using one of the other schedulers is going to help you with that goal. Fleet is a great tool for bootstrapping those schedulers. For example, in Tectonic, fleet is used to run the Kubernetes control plane and related services.

While we're on the subject, when you say "isn't the term suppose to be", you actually need to say "isn't the term supposed to be". I've noticed that people have started pronouncing this wrong (they now say "suppoes" rather than "suppozed") and that's spread into the written form.

Similarly, people are also replacing the correct "used to" with "use to".
> "Subject: Your Cocaine Has Shipped!"

I'm using this for the subject line of all my emails from now on.
HFT represents a spectrum of strategies when described in the news. For the most part, I would argue you are describing a "quant trading shop" and would avoid the HFT label since it doesn't apply (HFT really means that you're gaming Reg NMS).

The type of shop you're describing might be able to compete, assuming you've identified a niche product with a margin that will still exist in 6 months. Backtesting is useful, but it is so bloody hard to accurately incorporate liquidity that I place little value on simulated results when it comes to short duration trades. You really have to jump in and test live, which represents the largest barrier to entry: established shops have the infrastructure & capital to try new ideas. When I was trading, we tested half a dozen new ideas every month in addition to "production trades".

High frequency, IMO, should really be used to identify hardware intensive strategies co-located at the exchanges and utilizing telecommunications strategies not readily available to the market. For example, FPGA and dedicated microwave towers.

Lime is excellent, btw, but you really need some volume to justify them. For options at your level of capital, Interactive Brokers and long gamma trades look more attractive to me. Many would disagree and people do starve waiting for long gamma, but my memory is biased after seeing the little group next to me lose $40m in a week on a stupid short gamma "sure thing" based on back tests and other such nonsense. Oh, what a fun time that was.
Unemployment numbers throughout the developed world strongly reveals a generational bias.

Add in age related benefits and median income by age, and it is undeniable that the older generations suck the productivity and wealth from the younger like vampires.
I lived for a substantial amount of time in Ireland and France, and absolutely no indication that this is the case, at all. More prevalent in SF than Dublin or Paris.
ABC ran pretty much this same story in 2010:

http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/loaded-gun-slips-past-tsa-scre...

According to one report, undercover TSA agents
testing security at a Newark airport terminal on
one day in 2006 found that TSA screeners failed
to detect concealed bombs and guns 20 out of 22 times.

A 2007 government audit leaked to USA Today revealed
that undercover agents were successful slipping simulated
explosives and bomb parts through Los Angeles's LAX
airport in 50 out of 70 attempts, and at Chicago's
O'Hare airport agents made 75 attempts and succeeded
in getting through undetected 45 times.
I guess I'm in the minority then, but even as someone between "light user" and "professional developer/designer", I still prefer the powerful desktop/relatively affordable laptop combo.

To get laptop specs approaching my desktop I'd need to spend close to double the cost and I'd still be giving up quite a bit since there just aren't equivalent laptop-grade CPUs, GPUs, and storage options that compare.

Instead, I keep a desktop that's a bit lower spec than a serious workstation but higher than most basic office/home systems (i7, 16GB RAM, SSD, a couple of HDDs that were in previous machines, GTX 980, optical drive, etc) and a more basic laptop for use in less demanding tasks when away from home.

I guess my usage is a bit of a throwback in this sense but my desktop is the center of my home computing. Until recently it was the network storage for my media library (since offloaded to a NAS but still acts as the Plex server for transcoding and streaming media throughout the house). It's my main gaming platform. I use it for editing photos and video and well as my hobbyist-level dabbling in 3D graphics and animation. And it's obviously capable of all the less-demanding stuff like web browsing and Netflix on a decent-sized monitor.

A docked laptop would have lower CPU, GPU, and storage options and even if I bought some exorbitant "desktop replacement" model, it would cost a fortune and not be very portable. Much easier to buy a more reasonable notebook to take with me and even remote into my desktop if I really need to do some heavy lifting outside the house.

I would say yes, as the TSA's failures doesn't really have anything whatsoever to do with the patriot act. This is a failure of the government, not an excuse for or reason for more powers.
As an employer, if I had ten employees who all thought FHRITP was funny, and one of them got drunk enough to pull this stunt on television, I would consider that one out of ten had a serious judgement problem and nine had some semblance of socially reasonable judgement to not do such a thing.

I don't need my employees to think like me, act like me, or or like any particular brand of "acceptable" as defined by me or the company. I do not need to know nor care if any of my employees thinks FHRITP is funny.

I absolutely _do_ expect all of them to not go on television and demonstrate this level of bad judgement. By extension, I would now have two issues: first of all I'd question what other bad judgement comes into play in that employee's work product, secondly I'd be aware that _my_ judgement now comes into play as the responsible hiring manager.

I'm extremely sensitive to separation of work and family life. I demand the same from my employer. But I am wise enough to know that no matter what I do in the privacy of my own home, once I take that on a television news broadcast, I am in effect representing anything and everything the viewing public can now associate me with, whether it be my cycling club, my church, my darts team, my family, or my employer. (I only have the last two of those five, I'm straining for examples as I don't go out much...)

In short, where the conversation seems to be "OMG corporate thought police" it is in fact "seriously, keep that to yourself".

noun: judgement - the ability to make considered decisions or come to sensible conclusions.
So it's very hard to get all PyPy devs to focus on Python 3.3. Money can change the direction, but there are also features that are important to us, like warmup time and STM that we don't want to give up for 3.3.

Additionally, 3.3 has very little business value. All PyPy customers use Python 2 (the ones that can buy commercial support at least) and small performance improvements matter more to them.
It's a bit curious that the response to population concerns is that we can feed ourselves. There is much more to life than mere subsistence. The world can not all live like Americans. There aren't presently enough resources for this to happen. Maybe when we mine the moon and asteroids but not right now.

Great harm from the population explosion has been done. The environmental damage is enormous. Yes, we can still feed ourselves but this is not the only aspect of population growth fears.
I see, but you used the word 'what' in your post :) I would propose that people can adapt the wa they communicate to overcome these obstacles. Or in the near future when good VR headsets become reasonable, we could meet in VR conference rooms!
I've seen this fallacy used in startups by technical (co)founders to justify procrastinating various other, "less interesting" parts of the business that are vitally important. I've done it myself more times than I'd like to admit.

It is very easy to say "I need to add/improve feature X, fix bug Y, or refactor Z" when what you really need to do is outbound sales activity, balance your books, or write blog content. You may already not enjoy those activities because they are some combination of hard, not fun, and something you don't really understand. Couple that with some engineering task of perceived equal importance, that you do know how to make progress on, and you can almost convince yourself its really not procrastination.

The best solution I have seen is to track progress on a macro level, so that product advancement is put on par with the other critical activities of the business. Having someone kick your ass when other areas slip is very helpful.
The catch is that most NAT devices don't support it, which is a deal-breaker for something to be deployed on the public internet, and many firewalls either don't support it or would require firmware updates / policy changes to support it.

There's a wicked chicken-and-egg problem deploying SCTP: a popular service would be a good reason to push vendors, enterprise firewall admins, etc. to support SCTP but it'd be financial suicide to build a general service which depends on it now.
