Chute (YC W2012) - http://getchute.com - San Francisco, CA or Itapema, BR or [REMOTE] (US time zones)

We're hiring engineers to build our marketing technology platform that is used by Coke, Condé Nast, Starbucks, Benefit, Vogue, ESPN, NBC, NYT among others, as well as many independent developers.

We work with the latest technologies and <3 open source (https://github.com/chute). Our product makes it easy to analyze a large volume of images and videos from Instagram, Twitter and Facebook to discover the best, most-interesting content for our customers and then enable them to use great images in their own marketing.

For our backend, we use Ruby/Rails/Sinatra, Node.js and Go (plus Python on the data science front). We're running on AWS, Postgres, Mongo, Elasticsearch, Redis, Kafka + Storm. On the front-end we're using React/Flux/ES6.

No. Writing macros is less difficult than pretty much anything else. You just have to follow the proper methods.

Macros are, essentially, compilers. It is a very well studied area, writing compilers is a totally mechanical thing which does not require any creative thinking.

Compilers are best implemented if split into long sequences of very trivial tree rewrites (see the Nanopass framework for an example of this approach). Such tree rewrites should be declarative, and you don't really need a Turing-complete language to do this. This approach is inherently modular and highly self-documenting, so you're ending up with nicely organised, readable, maintainable code, much better than whatever you'd do with plain functions.

> that he was a Reagan voter and a Perot supporter

In the context of the other items in the same list, that comes across as "Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking" http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ArsonMurderAndJay... ; it doesn't fit. Even "jaywalking" is too strong here, since even that is not comparable to "held political opinions differing from those of the person writing the article".
This is a gross misrepresentation of the point being made and amounts to nothing more than intellectually lazy finger-pointing.
It's something we're discussing and exploring. The general thought is that Clang could do this for everything but sized deallocations (and it's unclear how much of an issue those would pose).

What it doesn't do: handling cpu quota on per "stack" basis, no builtin security isolation. That said, both use container technology for that.

By solving the issue at a layer below (instead of adding one like docker does) it makes things much cleaner, more powerful making obselete puppet and the like. FWIW describing a containers/vm's/os'es in guix is much more easy than using docker.

Have a look at https://github.com/NixOS/nixops too.

It reminds me of the bike-only lanes in China before. There were also blocks between bike lanes and car lanes in the cities. So it was very safe for cyclists.

Once I biked 2.5 hours from the northwest corner of Beijing to Tong Qian, a small town at the east outskirt of Beijing, to visit a friend. She already left due to some urgent matter before I got there. She couldn't contact me because mobile phones were a rarity at that time. So I biked another 2.5 hour back. It was a good trip, though, biking under nice weather, with warm breeze.

No doubt they will be in arcades in bigger ways much like arcades today have more physical and accessorized games than you can have at home (racers with seats, bikes, guns to use, skee-ball like games etc), but the home experience will be great because most markets are open now and anyone can publish. Content will move very fast.

Plus, just like touch pads, VR headsets are pretty nasty after a while if they are used in public by many players. Joysticks were really funky back in the old blacklit arcades, now imagine putting that on your face/head.
I've been using siege for load testing. I'll give this a go at some point.

Competence with Linux servers or Android/iOS development would be advantageous.

> arcades in bigger ways ... but the home experience will be great ... because anyone can publish

I'm hoping against hope for the middle-way between those two, though: rentable holosuites, like the VR equivalent of computers at internet cafes, where there are a few titles preinstalled, but you can also run whatever titles you like from the 'net.

(Or maybe it'll just let you log into your Steam account, where all your VR games and apps are. I could totally see Steam as becoming to thin-client VR as Windows is to thin-client PCs.)
Thanks. I have been working on a few things of my own but have not put the source up on GitHub as I am still pretty embarrassed with my code quality. I mostly use Java and I quite like the language, it requires more lines of code than pretty much any other language but I also kind of like that about it. It certainly makes it easier to come back to a few days or weeks later. Almost self documenting by default.

I also really enjoy C but I feel it is a language that requires at least some CS knowledge to really understand it.

I have pretty good PM knowledge yes, that does help me keep organised and break things up into small, manageable deliverables. I have also worked with developers so I kind-of get how they work, the thins I found hard working with them, etc.

U.S. negotiators have basically functioned as drug lobbyists

I made a similar comment a few days ago - what we need is a crowd-funded lobbying platform for everyday people. A kind of Kickstarter for law and policy.

If a few thousand or even tens of thousands of people chip in a few dollars to lobby for a change in policy, we can compete with corporations who have bought their way into power.

While we're complaining on the internet big business is using pocket change to get what they want. It needs to be as easy if not easier to pay a few bucks for your desired policy as it is to complain about it in an online forum.
As far as I know, if Greece does nothing very wrong (and defaulting isn't) there's no rule allowing other countries to kick them.

Anyway, Greece does not want to get out because on the EU they can travel and commercialize. That's the easy one.

Germany and the other creditors, by their side, do not want it because Greece may not pass trough that anarchy you talk about, but instead may get at the other side better than it is now. If that happens, the EU and their own economies are gone.
Guess ES6 takes some wind out of this guy's rant: http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2013/07/18/javascript-isnt...

He argues that JS only has 3 of the 9 essential elements of Scheme.

ES6 gains tail call elimination and lexical block scope. Though I guess it arguably gives up "minimalism." So now it's 4/9. If it gets macros (which there has been talk of happening in the future) it'll be 5/9.
Same for us in Australia. Both Australia and New Zealand are getting the spiky end of the stick in regards to pharmaceuticals, we have a similar system of socialised medicine.
I've been to a few arcade bars nowadays where the games a free if you buy a drink. Obviously not a solution for all audiences but it is something I'd go to often. It seemed like a much better value proposition.
I don't think it will die off, but I think it will undoubtedly lessen. The question is whether that's really a bad thing, when VR social interaction can have much of the same benefits that used to be exclusive to IRL interactions such as facial cues (we aren't there yet), the experience of shared locality (arguably we've had this to some degree for a long time with MMOs), etc.

The reason it is kept secret is presumably because the general public has difficulty seeing the ancillary benefits (reduction of trade barriers) and pays close attention to the obvious drawbacks (IP rights for "evil" corporations). This contention is fairly well supported by a cursory read through this or any other internet thread about a trade agreement.

Whether the good in the TPP outweighs the bad is an open question that I don't have an answer to. I am just trying to provide some counter arguments to an otherwise one-sided discussion on here.
I don't know if they broke any law, my problem is with their morality. They understood the (corrupt) needs of the Greek politicians (avoid structural reforms and hide the resulting budget deficit for EU partners) and created a product specifically for that. This product was bad for everyone, especially the Greek people. The only one benefitting was GS themselves.

GS seem to have no problem screwing an entire population to make some profit. They don't care that the Greek or EU people ultimately need to pay for it.

Scribd (YC '06, "Netflix for eBooks", top 100 website, 50 people) is hiring talented hackers of all kinds to help us build the library of the 21st century.

We've hired EIGHT full-time people and TONS of interns from these "Who is Hiring" threads ... it really works!

We're looking for people who want to work with:

* Ruby on Rails (we're the #2 largest rails site, after Twitter)

* Javascript (well, we use Coffeescript)

* iOS OR Android (we're a top 10 eBook app with more reviews than Wikipedia, with a small mobile team)

* Data science / data analysis (using big data tools like hive to analyze an amazing proprietary dataset)

* Machine Learning / data mining / recommendations - think Netflix prize, but for books!

* Internships: junior standing or above for all areas of engineering. We hire several interns every summer and year-round.

That said, we care way more about your personality and general hacking skills then what languages you've used so far, so if you haven't used these but want to break into mobile or web development, this could be a good opportunity for you. We've hired people from these threads with everywhere from 0 to 10 years of experience.

We're profitable, very well funded and have a really fun office environment (go-karts + a jam room!) in the center of the startup world in San Francisco. Scribd alumni have gone on to found 4 other YCombinator companies, more than from any other startup. We think this says something about the kind of people that we like to hire, and we love hiring people with entrepreneur and startup ambitions. We are also always looking for international people interested in moving to the US and can help you secure a visa.

You can read more about our "Netflix for Books" service herehttp://wrd.cm/1dJquzz or check out our tech blog athttp://coding.scribd.com. Last month we launched the first "Netflix for Comics" - really exciting stuff! More here: http://wrd.cm/1MbaBA6

Draw out the contractors and decrease demand.
Everyone knows what the problem is and has the entire time.
Part of the problem is games today aren't designed to be played in short bursts. Casino's are still going strong so there is still a audience for these kinds of distractions.

I think another problem could be that not very many games are geared toward sharing you experience with others. So the experience is the same whether your home or at a arcade because your secluded from everyone either way even if it's multiplayer.

trendy new tech called 'microservices'

new-age design philosophy "microservices,"

It's not a new idea.

The idea of microservices has been around for a while: In 2011 ...

Write the code once, run it anywhere, Docker promises.

Storm Ventures' Floyd says that he doesn't have any investments in a microservices company, "but I wish I did."

-----------

Well, this is the state of popular technical writing. Apparently the idea of breaking down complex applications into discrete modules with interface encapsulation and messaging boundaries wasn't discovered until 2011. Also something about Docker being magic microservice sauce that does WORA.

Software is eating the world.

I agree, there are a lot of things that the hypothetical NWO does that I fully agree with.

I stand in full favour of GMOS, Nuclear Energy, Carbon Taxation/Trading, and also a global government (on the condition of it being a good one).

However, the extra political power being given to corporations and the reduction of citizen's capacity for political influence is something to stand firmly against. Of course I don't believe in a NWO in the traditional sense but the world is certainly largely run by a group of individuals in power.

The TPP makes me think of the Shadowrun timeline and the progression to extraterritoriality for corporations around the 2020s and 2030s.

Semantic UI 2.0 released
I haven't seen vagga before. It looks very interesting.

But, since it is still using an OS based package manager (Ubuntu, for example) it doesn't address all of the issues that I outlined. Specifically packages can't be cached across different images by the host. It also isn't obvious which packages are included in which image without cracking the image open.

Thanks for the pointer!

Absolutely amazed that Starbucks and the rest are not using some kind of auth. I've noticed a few Starbucks now that have an SSID of google-Starbucks or something similar.

Anyone know if google at least does a better job. Some form of AUTH?

On OS X I can push ALL data through a VPN. Trouble is, it's based on a hostname. I put in anything from /* ( wild cards galore ), http://*, plus the SSL version and any other combination.

I, as well as many others, assuming Apple doesn't delete the thread from their support forums, have been trying to resolve this without running a separate dedicate VPN app that may or may not support auto-scanning type connections that tend to drop off and re-enable For now, 8+ years has never gotten VPN on demand triggered by a call to a hotname as the trigger. Calls from browser, shell, even higher level tools like dig, telnet, etc, do not instant AUTH a VPN connection. It has to be done manually.

If I could feel safe, a setting of, "any packet start of packet egress will stall the connection until VPN is up so zero Dara goes over a non VPN line. A VPZn should get around Sprint's idiocy in throttling video to 600k meaning once you add in audio, 320 is probably the best resolution you will be getting. With a VPN they should not be able to detect the traffic. I'm thinking VPN with all love pointed to a log server remotely stored and that nukes logs pretty quick or send logs to /dev/null but that may make debugging hard.

Edit: tons of spelling, grammar, and additions for clarity—mobile is really a terrible platform for typing ore than what you push to trigger. :)
