I used to use ldflags heavily for things like that, but nowa days i tend to avoid them - depending on the use case atleast.

Why? Well, many of my projects i don't want to distribute a binary for. I don't want to have to make a whole build process where i build multiple OSs, host it (github upload, etc), and update corresponding documents.

`npm install -g foo` doesn't require that, `go install foo` doesn't require that, so why am i putting myself through a large headache over nothing?

So these days, if i'm writing a Go binary that i intend to mostly use myself, or have other Go developers use, i bake the version/etc information into the files via a build script. For those projects, the Go source is a 100% complete, valid binary. ldflags are still awesome for certain things, but it is really, really nice when your source code is a proper representation of the output result.

Anyway, not bashing ldflags, just talking about my experience :)
Angaza | Backend, Frontend, and/or Mobile Developers | San Francisco ONSITE

Angaza is a for-profit company that makes it possible for a billion people—the off-grid world that still burns kerosene for light—to make the move to solar energy, while gaining access to electricity and increasing their buying power.

Specifically, we build technology that allows solar energy solutions to be financed for off-grid consumers, including everything from rooftop installations down to portable LED devices. To do so, Angaza develops a mix of custom hardware and software, built on the Python ecosystem, and we operate in some of the most demanding and dynamic markets in the world, including Africa and India.

Thanks for the pointers, I never heard of those languages before.

I am actually looking at the Converge documentation on macros now, and I found the perfect quote to highlight the problem I see with those approaches:

Quasi-quotes allow ITree's to be built using Converge's normal concrete syntax. Essentially a quasi-quoted expression evaluates to the ITree which represents the expression inside it. For example, whilst the raw Converge expression 4 + 2 prints 6 when evaluated, [| 4 + 2 |] evaluates to an ITree which prints out as 4 + 2. Thus the quasi-quote mechanism constructs an ITree directly from the users' input - the exact nature of the ITree is of immaterial to the casual ITree user, who need not know that the resulting ITree is structured along the lines of add(int(4), int(2)).

That is, quasi-quotes take some code and turn it into a tree object. This tree object can then somehow get compiled into actual code later. Compare that with Lisp approach, in which code is data. You don't think about the code as something separate from the tree that represents it. The code is the tree. There is no ITree object.

It may seem like just "semantics", but I find this to be a significant cognitive difference.

I recently graduated Magna Cum Laude from UC Irvine with a B.S. in Computer Science. I'm primarily interested in reverse engineering and visualizing video game statistics. For instance, I reverse engineered League of Legends' spectator data format and visualized the real-time statistics at http://riftwalk.gg (now non-operational). However, I'm open to other opportunities as well.
Moreover, we need to be very careful not to educate other criminal hackers about how we "safeguard" our assets and information. Accordingly, no part of this report may be made public or given to a third party without the prior express written permission of Bitstamp Ltd.

If this is public now, presumably they've finally airgapped wallet.dat? It sounds like Kodric is getting the blame for this, with his boneheaded doc opening, but with the architecture they had this might have been just a matter of time. After all the CTO had previously opened another doc, but the embedded VBA didn't run for unspecified reasons.
Collective Health, ( http://collectivehealth.com/ ), San Mateo, CA (Full time, ONSITE only)

We're tackling the employer-sponsored healthcare industry (our favorite analogy is how Tesla takes on several verticals at once, such car makers, dealers as well as the oil industry). We can lower both the first and second derivative of the rising health care cost curve, nationwide. There's some compelling evidence we can do so, if you'd like to chat.

The company just under a year and half old. We punch well above our weight-class with experienced founders, 60+ team members (~ one quarter is engineering), and paying customers.

If you're interested in some challenging work, you should let me know. We've got a ton of interesting problems to solve around distributed systems, data analytics and predictions, complex data modeling, ultra high-availability, security, privacy and more. We're currently looking for experienced SW engineers up and down the stack, back end, infrastructure, data, dev ops, test, generalist, etc.

Our tech stack is a mix of Go and Java components with Angular on the front end. We use a custom service bus to tie our SOA together, microservices style. We love Docker, CoreOS, postgres, riak, automated testing, and continuos integration.

As a company, we're strong believers in transparency, trust and balance. As an engineering team, we believe good code is easy to read and should have a short "time to understanding". We expect all of our engineers to continually teach as well as learn. We also believe that everyone should write good code, yet balance that against the need to ship.

https://jobs.lever.co/collectivehealth

We're super proud of the company mission, engineering culture and tech stack we've put together and would love a chance to explain it all in detail!
Indeed there is :). I used to sneak up some code in it on the job ;). I'm happy to see it being actively developed to this very day.
Right there with you buddy.
There are still thousands of us playing at uoforever.com. I help code a bit when I have time.

interesting. What if a script just uses the SSL infrastructure to get the private key associated with a domain name, without actually needing anything at that domain name to come over SSL? Then the private key does not have to be live/online at all, but could be used to verify the shell script. This is getting complicated, but if there is infrastructure, it should be possible to use it.

Personally I think curl of an https URL is not the worst thing in the world.

TriprApp – Connecting Travellers Based on Future Plans
London, United Kingdom - Geckoboard - http://geckoboard.com - ONSITE (but some working from home is no problem)

Geckoboard is a successful, growing 25-person B2B SaaS startup based in East London. Our elegant, real-time dashboards solve a valuable, difficult problem for thousands of paying subscribers, by taking the complexity out of connecting to their data and making that data simple for anyone to interpret at a glance. As a result, our customers unlock data they didn't know they had, connect people and join up projects, and make better decisions faster.

We have a lot of exciting work ahead and are looking for curious and creative problem solvers to help develop our product and take it to even more customers. You'll be joining a friendly team with great people in an environment with empowered developers, flexible working conditions, and a focus on skill development.

We are looking for full-time senior engineers, both front- and back-end. A variety of skills for modern, scalable web applications - e.g. Chef, React, Go, Ruby, Javascript - are of interest, but we like to have people learn on the job so don't worry about any you might be missing. See our jobs page for details: https://www.geckoboard.com/careers/

We’re constantly striving to ensure that we offer the most encouraging, supportive and efficient environment possible. We want everyone on the team to influence our architectural decisions. The whole team is involved in prioritising and evaluating our work and we regularly program in pairs to share knowledge, promote collaboration, and improve our code quality.

We don't just pay lip service to work-life balance, we actively and strongly encourage it. Flexible working hours and the ability to regularly work from home let you work in a way that fits you and your family. We see our contractual obligation to offer 25 days' paid holiday as a /lower/ bound for everyone in the organisation, not a limit.
We actively contribute to personal and professional development and have a minimum budget allowance to be spent on courses, conferences, and books. We also run fortnightly "innovation days", where everyone has complete freedom to work on anything that interests them, from contributing to open-source projects, learning a new skill, or improving our internal tools and processes.

I think many HN users tend to be Elon Musk fanboys because he (or at least his public persona) represents an idealized vision of what they wish they could be. He's fantastically wealthy, successful and driven, and he's working on "important" projects and Big Ideas. More to the point, he portrays himself as an engineer/visionary. Unlike other "heroic" figures in business (e.g. Steve Jobs, Richard Branson) Musk styles himself a builder, an engineer first and a businessman second, and so HN users who are primarily software engineers who maybe dream of starting a business see themselves in him.

In some sense it's more complicated because it's implementing more instruction sets but that's not as big a deal as you might think. ARMs have been doing that for a while, besides the normal A32 ISA there's also Thumb, Jazelle, etc. But while adding ISAs does take some die area it doesn't take too much since ARM instructions are very easy to decode. And that extra die area doesn't cost any power since when you're using A64 you can turn off the A32 decoder.
Scalyr - Frontend, Backend Engineers - San Francisco Mid-Peninsula (on-site) - $110k-$150k+, >1% equity

Hi, I’m Steve Newman. You might remember me from such HN posts as "Searching 20 GB/sec" and "EC2 I/O".

We're rebuilding server and log monitoring from the ground up, bringing Google Search levels of power and responsiveness to operations visibility. We have a small team (lots of room for personal growth), traction, plenty of runway, a low-stress culture, and lots of meaty problems to tackle. Be part of an awesome founding team (including the cofounder / lead engineer from Writely -- now Google Docs). We’re aiming high, rethinking everything from large-scale data filtering to how engineers interact with their tools. Come help us figure it out!

You don't need a business plan, just need to work out how to make money. You need to engage bars/restaurants, and start servicing users (like 5-10 users will do to start with). Know that this is a very crowded space, and ordering alcoholic drinks on an app is usually illegal due to age check not happening.
Strange to write an article like this without mentioning the SID chip (though I suppose SID chip-inspired music is more of an underground phenomenon, with less influence on popular culture.)

How about having those developers get off their asses and learn something new for a change? Seriously, JavaScript is not the best thing since sliced bread. People will code up support for it anyway, but I suppose Carmack is aiming for power instead of popularity.
> Compare that with Lisp approach, in which code is data.

It's not any different. It does not matter if your `(,a ,b) is compiled into (list a b), or your ` \a\ = \b\` is compiled into make_binary('=',a,b) - both are constructors, essentially.

If these companies simultaneously put their foot down in this way and did not waiver I really doubt the government would go through with doing anything that would risk them leaving. Any one of these examples alone would be a huge loss to the market for, say, the United States. The political backlash would be enormous, and that's not even including the community actually concerned about privacy.

That being said, whether such an ultimatum would ever actually happen? Yeeeeeah...

Pathgather | New York, NY | onsite preferred, will consider remote

Pathgather is Techstars NYC company building an enterprise learning platform that - unlike traditional learning systems forced on employees - is one you'll actually enjoy using. We’re solving a big problem felt by almost all growing companies: how to continuously train and educate your workforce with modern/relevant content.

One way we're doing that is through the flexibility in our platform, which supports a variety of integrations. Because of that, we deal with lots of APIs.

We're looking for an API expert to join our small but growing team. You'll own the API we provide to companies like Qualcomm, Walmart, and Twitter, and you'll help expand our suite of 3rd party integrations. You'll have significant impact on every customer deployment and the opportunity to interface with the talented engineers consuming our APIs.

About You

- You're an API expert. You of course prefer JSON REST APIs but can deal with an XML SOAP API if need be.

- You understand and have opinions on common API authentication methods like OAuth, JWT, etc

- You understand SQL (ideally Postgres). Maybe you've worked with ORMs like ActiveRecord and/or Sequel.

- You have experience with Ruby/Rails (or a similar language)

- Perhaps you've dealt with Redis and Elasticsearch too, but if you haven't, no worries. We'll give you the chance to in any case.

Responsibilites

- Lead and develop integrations that enhance our learning content offerings to our customers

- Enhance the API we provide to our customers (docs.pathgather.com). Some of the functionality you might add include analytics reporting and bulk creates/updates.

- Help define the strategy for the launch of a Pathgather partner program/platform. This project would allow partnered content vendors to integrate with Pathgather in a variety of ways via defined standards and API communications.

If you're interested, please contact me at jamie@pathgather.com. We have a great work environment in our Union Square office and would love for you to be a part! You can also see more about us and what we offer at https://angel.co/pathgather/jobs

Barbecue sauce isn't one monolithic thing. The overly sweet, thick sauce you're thinking of is the mass market version of Kansas City style barbecue sauce, but the Carolinas, Tennessee and Texas all have distinctive sauce styles, and none of them are sweet.
