This is so unbelievably pathetic.

How is anyone supposed to trust nincompoops who open word documents from unsolicited emails on Windows while connected to a sensitive VPN? Furthermore: with your money.
I'm working on improving this part; feel free to add more discussion here: https://github.com/Jam3/math-as-code/issues/17
In any case if we're comparing the 1880s to some recent decade using city growth, why is SF relevant? Plenty of cities have recently had or are having growth like Chicago and NYC of 100+ years ago. They're in Asia and Africa.
Yeah yet another programming language discussion/argument.
C-64, right? I loved playing with the 64's sound back in the college lab.
Caution vs. Alarmism
You seem to have an issue with the author but you don't address his arguments. What's the point? Otherwise it just comes off as gratuitous negativity and ad-hominem.
SEEKING WORK - NYC & Remote

I keep pretty busy but have an opening coming up that I could fill with the right project.

Reading this makes me feel a little like I woke up in 1990.

>> Distributed systems are harder to program, since remote calls are slow and are always at risk of failure.

This is a true statement, but it's hardly the point on which current architecture choices turn. Distributed systems are the norm now. Almost everyone is working on one, even if they don't think of it that way (and I bet they don't). There are still simple, single-process programs that are relevant to users and the people working on them, but those aren't the domains in which this microservices debate is supposed to be taking place.

Is it relevant to evaluate "microservices" vs. a "monolithic architecture" based on the costs of traversing the network stack? Back when we were thinking about breaking up our C and C++ programs into processes using RPC as glue this was something we worried a lot about, but that is because in many cases having everything in a single process was still a credible alternative. Few people are wrestling with this choice today.

The last site I worked on consisted of nginx, elasticsearch, logstash, kibana, postgresql, celery, redis, and a bunch of custom python, java, and javascript code. It could run on one server or (as it did in production) twelve. Almost all of those pieces ran in separate processes, communicated over the network using mostly standard protocols, and did one specific thing. Were these microservices?

I feel like microservices as a thing is one of the least meaningful tech fads I have seen. Minimality and cohesiveness aren't surprising new challenges. They were desirable concepts of C++ class libraries two decades ago. An implementation of a service should always be both minimal and cohesive, and it should be complete. It should be as small as possible. Whether that is "micro" or not is entirely too subjective for me.

The other trade-offs mentioned, consistency and complexity, are not much more relevant to the big question the author is trying to convince us to ask. Consistency is a property of a view of state, but the article is about distributing code (otherwise why care about module boundaries and deployment?), not distributing state. Complexity is always a a key trade-off, but the complexity of distributed code is table stakes in the world we actually work in.
They probably could be decoupled to some degree, but it's the grindy/pvp games that are popular.

The result of this is that the interactive world aspect of online games have advanced remarkably little. Instead we get some minimal interactive world features added into successive generations of grindy/pvp games.
I also admire the fact that he is willing to throw everything in to see a project succeed. Case in point is he coming close to bankruptcy (in 2008? )while trying to keep SpaceX running.

Also the fact that he could run three major companies in parallel. The amount of context switching he would have to do would be incredible.

We're focused on understanding and recommending content at scale. We use ML/NLP techniques to algorithmically understand the meaning behind content and make sense of people's wide and nuanced interests based on their behavior. Engaging content is the future of online monetization, and we're building the intelligent infrastructure for deploying revenue-generating content.

We have a ton of interesting problems to solve. We're constantly ingesting vast numbers of documents to learn from, tracking millions of interactions with content, computing the interests of millions of users, and making personalized real-time recommendations. This scale impacts every engineering decision we make, and we're looking to build a company with people excited by the challenges it poses.

You'll want to have interests or experience in some of the following:

* Working extensively in functional languages (we mostly use Scala, with Akka, Spray, Scalaz; some Haskell).

* Building large-scale distributed systems (we run a microservices architecture on AWS)

* Designing and implementing proprietary machine learning models and real-time personalized recommendation systems

* Rapidly designing and building front-end products (HTML/CSS, React, etc.)

We're a VC and Y Combinator-backed startup at the beginning of our journey. As one of our first engineers you'll play a central role in defining our tech culture and direction. There's a huge opportunity to effect change at scale through real responsibility and ownership of product. And because at this early stage there's so much to do, there's so much to learn and room to grow.

You are completely misguided then:

1. You consider the government as a singular entity. It's a group of people. In that circumstance, it's as secure as the lowest denominator of person, which in a government is low.

2. You're find for them retaining your data, then implementing a law, then using it against you?

3. There are plenty of cases where the government have abused data that has been entrusted to them. There is no commercial motivation via competition for them to do a good job. You are effectively contracting out to a monopoly.

4. There is no absolute security either and it should be in your own hands. The moment you contract it out, you're morally responsible for the competence of who you contracted it out to, yet the government isn't an entity you can easily take to court nor seek compensation from.

5. Keys are complicated to distribute. Do you expect this to be 100% effective?

Consider these a little further then check your opinion against the facts on the table.

SEEKING FREELANCER - Boston, MA or Remote

Consultant / Expert / Tutor for Machine Learning / Statistics / Econometrics / Quantitative Finance - Quantitative Investment Strategies

[ Consulting / Freelance / Part-Time / Boston Area / Remote Available ]

Hi, I’m a Boston-based investment fund portfolio manager. I specialize in systematic (computer-driven) investment strategies. I’m looking for people with deep expertise or experience in any of [Machine Learning / Deep Learning / Statistics / Econometrics / Quantitative Finance] to work with me as consultants / experts / tutors in these areas. I have knowledge in each of these areas. I’m looking for people I can consult with to further develop my knowledge and think about applications of these disciplines to investing. Right now I’m thinking of this as a series of interactions rather than one big engagement, but I’m flexible and open to ideas from you. Here are some project ideas for starters:

-	Teaching me about your area of expertise and discussing applications of these methods to investing
-	Guiding best practices for real-world applications
-	Discussing and reviewing new cutting-edge academic research
-	Evaluating strengths and weaknesses of these methods
-	Consulting on the use of open-source tools and software
- Help guide and tutor my own study in these areas
-	Collaborate with portfolio management team to develop new strategies and analytics

Qualifications: Experience or expertise in one or more of [Machine Learning / Deep Learning / Statistics / Econometrics / Quantitative Finance / etc]. I’m open to many backgrounds: academic research and experience or applied on-the-job expertise. Strong communication skills a must. Finance experience is not required. I’m willing to consider all backgrounds. I like Boston-area candidates who can meet at our offices, but this isn’t required. Finding the right person is more important than location.

This work is with a successful team at an established world-class firm. Investment areas include currencies, interest rates, equities, futures and commodities. This is an excellent opportunity to gain exposure to a world-class investment firm and learn about systematic investing. This could be an ideal engagement for an experienced candidate or a current Masters or PhD student or recent grad. All candidates are welcome to apply, including experienced candidates and professional freelancers. Strong performance could lead to significant future opportunities including full-time positions and internships.

Contact: quantsystematic < at gmail >

Please include a resume and any links to github/linkedIn/publications/etc. you'd like us to see.

[Note that I have another position listed on this thread as well]
I was looking for the same thing. I did notice the that all of the templates at this time are free. It looks like they may be charging for advanced workflows.
> It would be difficult to find a winning candidate who is unemployed, or who is employed and has the bandwidth to come in during office hours and work on a project with your team.

Yes - please stop asking candidates to do this. I mean it's great that this particular company will offer to pay you for your time - but I've seen some companies require a candidate to come in and work for free for a day.

The last job application I was asked to take a 3 hour phone interview back-to-back (remote job). It just seems disrespectful that you would ask someone to be on the phone for half the day just for the possibility that they might get the job. I don't know about you guys - but if I disappeared for 3 hours from my job someone might be a little annoyed. I'm not saying to interview people - but break it out into smaller chunks throughout the week. Could I have asked this company to do that? Probably - but there were other red flags that suggested I stay away.
On the performance problem, my guess is that you wrote in a bunch of columns and had those in where clauses. I hope the documentation made it clear that you'd be range scanning over data and that you probably wouldn't get desirable performance.

In 0.8 and before, the preferred way to model your data was to create many separate series names. This method is currently giving many users great performance.

As with all databases, how you model your schema has a significant impact on performance.

That being said, it might be that Influx wasn't right for your use case and Postgres is just a better thing to go with.

Also, we're not supporting anything prior to the 0.9 series of releases. 0.8 is deprecated and we'll be pushing everyone to move over to 0.9 as we put out more point releases and fix bugs and ensure that it works for their use case over the coming months.
For the uninitiated, "spam spam spam humbug" brought up a cheat menu in Ultima VI.
Shameless self promotion - I just wrote up a little doc [1] on using Locust and Kubernetes to run and scale distributed load tests along with some sample code [2].

I looked at JMeter and Gatling as alternatives but they were either a bit clunky (JMeter) or not distributed out of the box (Gatling). Late in the game I did discover Tsung (Erlang) but didn't get time to try it out - looks pretty powerful though.

Hitmeister - http://www.hitmeister.de/ - Cologne, Germany (Full Time, Local, VISA)

Web developer: full-stack, frontend, or backend. Most of us work at all levels of the web stack, but if your strength lies in just frontend or backend work, that's okay too.

We're a small team (15 people) using PHP, Zend Framework, MySQL, MongoDB, ElasticSearch, RabbitMQ, and memcached. We have a customer-facing site, a JSON API, logistics software, and an internal admin site, all of which we build and maintain internally.

Hitmeister.de is one of the largest online shopping portals in Germany, with over 2 million customers to date. We have a warehouse from which we sell items directly, but we also have a marketplace with over 2,000 sellers running their own shops. We're seeing solid growth and we're looking for more programming talent to grow and improve the site.

Speaking German is helpful, but by no means required. I'm from the US and we have 3 other non-German developers. If you aren't an EU citizen, we are glad to help with visa issues. In particular, if you have a CS degree or at least 5 years of experience you probably qualify for an EU Blue Card, and we have lots of experience with those. We don't do remote work, but we'll help you relocate.
