Nebulous, Inc. | Cryptocurrency/Distributed Systems development | ONSITE (Boston)

Position: Front-end developer/designer

Nebulous is developing a cloud storage platform that allows users to rent out their hard drive space in exchange for cryptocurrency. Our backend is fairly mature, and we are now working on an Electron-based desktop UI. We are looking for a webdev to develop this UI full-time. Experience with Electron/node.js is a plus, as is an eye for design.

Nava | Washington DC* | Experienced full-stack developers/devops/product manager/operations | On-site - Full Time

I'm part of a small team of engineers from Silicon Valley that came out to DC last year to help fix Healthcare.gov. It turns out there’s a lot more to fix. And it’s surprising how much can be fixed by a small group of resourceful people with a Silicon Valley mindset, deep technical experience, and the willingness to work closely with dedicated civil servants in government.

Our revamped Healthcare.gov application has been used by millions, converts 35% better, and halves the completion time. The login system we rebuilt is about two orders of magnitude more reliable and two orders of magnitude less expensive; for example, it’s about $70M less per year to operate. We’re just getting started, and we’ve started Nava to help fix everything else. [0]

People die because the Veteran's Administration is months behind in processing claims. The Social Security Administration pays benefits to millions of deceased Americans. $80 billion is spent every year on federal IT contracting, and 96% of projects are deemed failures [1].

That’s not because there’s some conspiracy or because government is inherently incapable of doing it right. These are complicated legacy systems and processes, and there are very few people with modern tech industry experience who are aware of these problems and willing to help fix them. You can help change that.

Our team is 10 people (Stanford, Google, YC alums), and we plan to bring on a few people every month through 2015.

We’re looking for:
- experienced full-stack engineers
- experienced devops engineers
- a product manager with a technical background
- a hyper-resourceful operations person

We have a social mission (we just incorporated as a public benefit corporation (PBC) this week), but we pay market compensation (above market, for DC) and equity (above market).

If you'd like to build software and infrastructure that radically improves how our government serves people, we’d love to hear from you at jobs@navahq.com.

*Not in DC / able to relocate, but intrigued and in SF? Talk to us.

SEEKING WORK - Located in the GTA. Looking for remote, or onsite if located in SE Pennsylvania/Northern Delaware (need TN Visa for the latter)

Hello there. I'm an experienced developer that has over seven years in the industry, developing web applications from the ground up with multiple technology stacks. Some of them include PHP, Java, Python, AngularJS and Jquery, most major databases, webservers and operating systems.

How can I help your company/organization?

- Are you a startup that needs someone that has experience in multiple technical areas, and business experience as well?

- Do you have a codebase that has become a nightmare to maintain, and could use a refactoring in the worst way?

- Is your application having issues scaling to meet your new customer demands?

- Are you having a hard time finding developers that have experience in your stack and are debating converting to a more modern setup?

- have a greenfield project that could use an experienced hand to take it from concept to completion?

- Just need an experienced developer that has worked on projects more complex then "Hello World"?

If your answer to any of these was yes, then I can help. Please contact me via email at creedis at gmail dot com, or have a look at what I've been up too at https://ca.linkedin.com/in/canadiancreed and let's see how I can help your project.
Bytemark (York, UK) is looking for an experienced web developer. We're seeking someone who is able to get things done from scratch, who can tell us about something they made the web and say "I made that!".

We need an engineer who is comfortable working at both the front- and back-end of a modern web application. You should be able to pick apart HTML, Javascript, the DOM, HTTP, SQL and a back-end framework or two. We use Ruby & Go, but particular languages aren't as important as a proven track record, and a desire to get projects delivered.

At Bytemark we build our own cloud hosting infrastructure, so the more you know about IP networking and operating systems, the better. We're also steeped in Free Software, its history and licenses, so any expertise there would put you in good company.

We have processes that work for our small team: we test automatically, but usually think we could do more. We use Git or Mercurial for revision control, Redmine to keep track of our bugs, and Jenkins for CI. We meet fortnightly rather than daily. We trust you to pick the right project from our development plan; we don't over-manage. In short, we have an evolving methodology and a wealth of experience — this means we can quickly and efficiently deliver new features for our customers. Join, and help us do more!
We have our own data centre and cloud hosting platform (https://www.bigv.io/), and are looking for a web developer to join our engineering team.

That example may have misfired-- perhaps consider that sorting an array of n elements requires addressing n elements, which requires arithmetic on words of log n bits, which are therefore log time operations. Limiting the size of each element won't help your complexity.

But we really don't care about that very much. In this case.

It's kind of described in that SO post I linked-- you can assume a constant-time hashing operation, but if that offends your conscience, assume an "integer RAM" model where arithmetic operations up to a certain word size w are constant time. Then you can observe that any reasonable w is inconsequential to your problem domain, and go back to treating hashing as a constant-time operation :)

The idea is that the fact that w increases at least as the log of n is shared by all computations modeled in integer RAM, so it's not a useful contribution to analysis at that scale. It's in the model, it's just not generally useful to the model. If you ever find yourself asking, is the bit width relevant? You can do some math and get a straight answer.

Of course real world algorithms often hash strings which complicates the analysis, but that's orthogonal, like my misstep earlier in implying the size of an element rather than the size of n. The mathematical sense in which hashing time must increase with the log of n is a fact of all algorithms that have ns.

I think your surprise at this just stems from wanting a rigorous definition for something that's more of a modeling tool, with different models to choose from. In real life, there's the time on the wall since you clicked "Run", and everything else is theorygramming.

Please don't conduct programming language flamewars on HN. Discourse here must remain civil and substantive, even when the other person is also being rude (as in fact is the case). Please read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

You're being downvoted because you're breaking this rule, not because of your argument. This community is replete with lovers of Lisp, including the person who built HN and us who work on it, so that's hardly the issue.

If there's one thing we will never allow to happen it's HN turning out like comp.lang.lisp.

Edit: I've detached this subthread and marked it off topic. Your thoughts on Lisp are welcome here, but please be respectful from now on. The Principle of Charity is what we shoot for in arguments here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_charity.

We think that a lot of freelancers here will be interested in what we have to offer, as we've already closed 50 projects totaling ~$400k in gross receipts in the past year.

And we actually are looking to hire a freelance UI/UX designer (on-site). We're building out the next version of our web and mobile product, and are currently working with a great designer, but he doesn't have UX experience.

Please contact ken {at} liquidtalent {dot} com if you're interested.
That is an extreme and unfortunate example (and there is an entire additional set of issues around bedside manner and how our current training and practice environments select against it). However, establishment medicine is, in general, getting much better at this -- see for example some of the suites in the new Benioff Children's Hospital in SF which have been extensively designed for patient comfort (although lacking in some other areas...).

Patient comfort can be a problem when it's prioritized over treatment, as is often the case in alternative medicine and increasingly so in patient comfort-centered establishment medicine. A good example of this can be found in hospital food -- some medical centers have discovered that patient satisfaction increases dramatically when they're given the food they want/request, even when this food is explicitly counter to nutritional recommendations for their health conditions.

A secondary interesting externality of the recent focus on patient satisfaction is the construction of parking near hospitals. Several studies over the last decade have identified ease of parking as a primary factor in increasing patient satisfaction, so many new facilities are prioritizing this, which only amplifies the already-negative effects healthcare facilities have on their surrounding neighborhoods.

Aesthetics and emotions do matter, and almost all doctors realize this. However, their incentives and the incentives of the facility administrators are rarely aligned towards prioritizing them, and when they are they're often at the expense of the care itself. Alternative medicine is no exception to this phenomenon.

It's pretty much the exact opposite in Elixir. The only thing you really have to wrap your head around is the switch between the quoting context and the unquoting context... which is pretty much no different from understanding macros period. The definition syntax looks just like a method definition, except it's "defmacro" instead of "def", and the macro body receives an AST instead of (or in addition to) your usual arguments. But I'm probably not doing it justice...

Here Dave Thomas creates a simple "returning" macro, you can just watch the screencast if you're feeling lazy:

>Star Trek is exclusively told from the point of view of military starships with world-destroying weapons.

that's basically US of 20th-21st century point of view.

>Would the "Singapore in space" federation really be a good place to live?

the real question is whether an alternative is really possible. Once you get "commons" you have to put machinery in place to avoid the "tragedy".
I take it you're probably not a huge fan of Golang? :)
What's the advantage of doing that vs. just using a macro defined at compile-time?
I get that the macbook works for your story, and that's great. But the problem is that other peoples' stories of using a laptop are often uncomfortable-to-impossible to achieve with a mac.

Is it that unreasonable to assume that the vast majority of professionals work from the same desk each day

No, but it would be unreasonable to assume that they do "actual work" exclusively or near-excursively from that desk. I have a mac at my work desk, and could have gotten a macbook too, but the reason I chose a thinkpad is the frequency I'm using peripherals in a meeting room. And nothing fancy either, often just a mouse, display out and network.

Why is it difficult to have a hub at your desk to plug your accessories into?

I guess I assume that the point of having a laptop is portable convenience, even if that makes me unreasonable. I don't find it unusual to want to do "actual work" from collaborative areas like meeting rooms, electronics labs or a co-workers desk. Or from home, or business travel.
There is a parallel, but it is shallow. The author keeps pointing out the differences between the fantasy of Tolkien and the mythology within ISIS, and the more you think about it, the less the comparison holds. Religion, from the outside, is no different than any other romantic fiction. Does that mean that all romantic fiction and religion is essentially the same? I think that is a very shallow analysis.

You could draw similar parallels to any narrative which inspires actions that seem mad from the outside. The christian right of the US has the apocalyptic narrative of the Rapture, just waiting for the right circumstances to blow into the same kind of fanatic destruction as that of ISIS.

There is an allure in pointing to the mythology as the inspiration for some misdeed as if that may provide some insight, but I don't think so. The simple fact is that it doesn't take much to inspire us humans into doing things that seem unthinkable to others. Just about any fiction can inspire just about any deed. Mark Chapman shot Lennon after reading The Catcher in the Rye. Yes, perhaps it says something about the nature of humanity. But then what?

From the outside, any of these narratives seem like cosplay, like play acting. Just look at Manson or Waco, for example. The fiction is always ridiculous. The acts are real, though.

"A lot of people like cosplay." Everyone, apparently.
This is like arguing that every brand of cereal should be labeled "Box of Cereal" because it is a box that contains cereal. It's possible for a label to be completely true and completely uninformative at the same time.

>as fungible, by-the-hour machines that can be hired and fired as demand shifts

I have no problem with a situation like this if

A: It's a small-ish minority of the economy

B: It's well known by both employer & employee from the start

C: Employees get an adequate compensation bump for the increased risk (i.e. both employer and employee benefit from the situation)

There are plenty of people who _want_ that fluidity in their lives and an economy which expects you to be employed 100% of the time between 18/22 and retirement can be stifling.
Fundrise: Real-estate crowd-funding could beat NIMBYs (2013)
Yes, you totally can, but I found running one command:

curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh

so much quicker (in the short term and long term) than reading a myriad of tutorials and then bashing my head against this configuration of several products for multiple weeks to get what Meteor provides as part of a single maintained and updated system.
A bot for https://www.nevergrind.com would be interesting. I'd imagine it'd be relatively easy place to begin, as far as games go. I've toyed with the idea myself, but haven't sat down and looked at it closely yet.
I dont. Its a real problem.

Im thinking of riding my bicycle from Vancouver, Washington to Zihuatenejo Mexico. But what I actually do is fuss over my website.
I find it utterly reasonable, to avoid being made responsible for something, that is essentially a test-domain. Imagine, for example, that some domain server in .systemd.ntp.org would stop responding (for pretty much any* reason, including a cut cable in someones basement). Imagine some User™ gets an error message, saying, that 0.systemd.ntp.org wasn't reachable, googles systemd and creates bugreports against systemd for a broken ntp-server that a) isn't run by the systemd-folks, b) was never supposed to be used by anything else than the systemd test-suite, c) was registered by some third-party (CoreOS) and d) not one of the systemd-maintainers wanted.

I find it a reasonable position, that he wants to avoid such a situation.
