> I think the chance for remote execution would be far less if they used unix based systems.

OSX is a *nix based system and has had far worse security than Windows for ages (lagging with basic things like address space randomization). Just because Unix is not considered a primary attack surface area for viruses and alike, it does not make it inherently more secure. That kind of attitude is indeed even more dangerous than having a well secured Windows computer.

Very cool, this is one of the reasons I love Erlang and Java. Hot-patching is so simple.
Bonanza.com is looking for a full-stack developer with the grit to hack on Ruby/Rails at scale. We serve nearly 50,000 merchants, helping them sell 15 million items across numerous buying channels. Measured by visitor traffic, we are one of the highest volume Rails installations in Seattle.

The Full Stack Developer at Bonanza will work across a variety of projects, gravitating toward those that are most stimulating for them. Our philosophy is that developers are most productive when they are given projects that best combine their talents & interests.

Because of this customization between "person" and "projects," it is difficult to prescribe in advance the specific tasks that will comprise this job. But here is a representative sample of the challenges we're working on:

* How can we make a buyer's search experience as relevant as possible when 50,000 items match their query?

* How can we build the stickiest possible mobile buyer experience? Does that vary on tablets?

* What's it like to use the best toolset for managing an inventory of 100,000 items?

* Can we use natural language recognition to estimate the selling price of an item based on its title and category?

* What is the sexiest layout for a webstore theme?

Our challenges range up and down the stack, in a variety of technologies. If you like working at scale, to make improvements in the lives of entrepreneurs, there's plenty for us to get done together.

Definitely in agreement there. Look at history, it's always been the case.
I think Tallis is thinking at the level of the words and the analogies. But the thing is, what the physicists really believe are the equations. (Hat tip to C. S. Lewis, from whom I stole that observation.) Tallis is expecting the physicists to talk in the same way (using the same tools of communication) that philosophers do, and they don't, so Tallis misses the point.

It should offend you because that statement is suggesting that your utility and your worth is merely a function of your gender, not because of your skill. That the only value a woman brings in this case is "fundraising as well as getting authenticity with parents" - not their skill or any perspective that you wouldn't have.

It is this kind of "not my fault" attitude that slows down progress in gender equality.

SEEKING FREELANCER - currently Seattle but likely moving to Portland in the future, and remote work is definitely possible.

I'm currently working on the side on a project, but planning to go full time on it within 6 months or so. My partner and I are working on a fairly ambitious MVP, some of which involves native front end development in which I'm inexperienced. I can do the work, but my iteration time is pretty suboptimal. Since we've got a few soft-committed potential customers, we're looking to outsource some of the front end work to speed it all up.

I'm looking for someone with substantial experience with the Xamarin platform AND/OR (preferably AND) Windows Universal development. I value people who know how to keep a code base small and share as much as possible across platforms. If you happen to know F# very well, then that is a huge plus, although not required (I would much rather work with F# than C#, but I realize the infrastructure is pretty immature to rely on).

Known knowns about our architecture: Postgres database and Play Framework in Scala for a service backend (including both REST and web sockets) hosted on AWS.

Pretty sure about our architecture, and what we need help with: a fairly complex Windows Universal pure touch app with some limited (likely USB-based) hardware interaction, communicating with the web service. Smaller and much simpler Xamarin mobile apps (iOS and Android definitely, WinPhone too but a lower priority) also communicating with the web service.

About me: I come from a very non-traditional development background...educated in Supply Chain Management and learning code to be able to do my very analytics-oriented job better. I started with R (and still use it extensively), have worked with Ruby, Python, and Clojure, but have slowly adapted to and now overwhelmingly prefer strongly typed ML-descendent languages such as Scala, F#, Rust, and OCaml. I'm a huge proponent of making invalid states unrepresentable through the type system. The majority of my experience is in more data oriented systems with lots of pipeline-type architectures, including lots of simulations. I have lots of experience with tasks that you would expect from someone that has Operations Research or Data Scientist in their titles. I don't have much experience with REST-based systems, but I have found it pretty damn easy to learn over the last year in my free time. I don't have much experience with front end design, but haven't had much trouble picking up React.js. I have, however, been slow to pick up native front end design.

I'm open to cofounder proposals, but realize that if that happens it will likely be after some amount of freelance work, both for your sake and ours.

My email address is in my profile, but will likely remove it within a week or two for spam reasons (I really wish HN would let us delete old posts!).
Thanks for the nice words! Everyone here is thrilled at the opportunity to improve the urban experience for all New Yorkers (and hopefully more cities soon as well).
Do you disagree? Look at the comment right below you, calling him appalling scum.

I would LOVE to be hallucinating this. To be the lunatic in this story. But everything in this thread has proven that I'm not.
> To me a bigger red flag is if someone has the time and desperation to put up with this kind of bullshit. Good professionals love money and respect.

Ouch, the cynicism here is astounding. Speaking for myself, I would love to delve into a challenge, like, cracking a small program [1], even if it gets me nothing because this, in itself, is so exciting.

You are also forgetting one of the biggest successes; they convinced most all of society to agree to not only ban data, but to see possession of that data as one of the worst wrongs a person can commit. The notion that changing the pattern of bits on your hard drive can be worse than killing someone has now been driven to the core of our society.

And as for the US, drug trafficking has worked great for the most part. For example the concept that intent to distribute can be determined simply by possessing more than some arbitrary amount, with the prosecutor not needing to show any other evidence, is a disastrous development. Civil forfeiture, where one's property is charged with a crime, is also another great development for them, though it is a hand they are beginning to overplay.

LGBT individuals should count themselves very lucky. Had they delayed their rights movement by a few decades, they may have been hunted down (imagine if the social hatred of homosexuals that was present in the early 20th century was combined with the modern day power to pry into people's lives).

This is a simple one, there is no one else in the world pushing harder and finding better performance results in pushing the limits of our human abilities. No one else is challenging the status quo as much or has offered more to humanity's longevity.

If the utilitarian, long-term survival of the human species is what one believes in...there is no one better than Elon Musk at this point moving the world forward.

Many people may argue my last point, but he gives hope and shows people that they can achieve what they dream of and that is more important than just about anything a single person is working on. Sure he has an entire team, but he is the leader and without him, these companies simply would not exist and would not be nearly as successful as they are.

It is a classic story of what a real leader looks like. In those respects, I cannot think of a better leader on the entire planet.

Naval Research Lab - Washington, DC

Roles: Java developer || GIS specialist || RF engineer

Our team at NRL is looking for a couple more talented software developers and RF / electrical engineers. Our work focuses on visualizing geospatial and scientific data, integrating it with various software, and scientific computing. We work primarily with Java, but try to make the best of it by using the new Java 8 features (lambdas, optionals, streams). Ruby, Python, and Matlab are sometimes used as well.

There are no stock options at NRL, but the retirement plan is great. Plus there are interesting problems, good co-workers, flexible hours, excellent continuing education opportunities, and stability. US citizenship and the ability to hold a security clearance are required. All work is on-site. A B.S. in a technical subject (preferably computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, or physics) is required with GPA > 3.0. Internships for students working toward a technical degree are also available, though it's too late to apply for summer 2015 internships.

I don't have good intuitions on how hard text-based adventures are but they test it on the first quest in 'Fantasy World', which is a real game with significant complexity (Table 1) compared to their demo game 'Home'.

Ignoring 'Home' as possibly tweaked to unfairly favor one RL agent, Figure 3 is interesting in trying to compare performance on 'Fantasy'. Both RL agents massively outperform the 'random' agent, which is definitely something you want to see; on Fantasy, the bag-of-words NN representation seems like it might be doing much worse (looks like it averages 80% chance of solving the quest by the end of training, while the LTSM NN layer lets the RL agent reaches ~100% solve rates almost immediately). Since one would expect a LTSM to do better, this better performance and apparent ceiling on bag-of-words isn't too surprising.

But the selection of gameplay is really limited - this is not the DeepMind Atari player where the excellent performance is seen over dozens of games, to say the least.

I wonder how well it would play Nethack or other Roguelikes? That seems like it could be an excellent guinea pig for RL agents.
This is neat, how did you rig this up?

Speaking from experience as one of the two current software engineers at Underdog.io. This is a great team to work with, we all strongly believe in the product and being so small (only 4 employees right now) we all get a lot of say in the direction of the company and the products we are building.

From a more engineer stand point, as a team we believe in the value of quality code, transparency, knowledge sharing and contributing back to the open source community in any ways that we can. These are values that we will continue to uphold even as our team grows.

We are running on an service oriented architecture with an internal API (Python/Flask) that is utilized by two other applications, our main website (Python/Flask) and an internal application (Node.js/express).

If you have any questions please feel free to ask. :)
Just bought the new MBP this week. Personally:

Ethernet Port: Don't need

Optical Drive: Don't need, but took my old one out to make room for a hard drive in my previous MBP and put it in a case so I have it if I need it. Haven't actually used it since (about two years ago).

17" was always too big for me to lug around, always preferred the 15" (and always upgraded display to get more resolution which is not needed with retina). For me 15" is the right combination of screen real-estate and size.

And I actually appreciate the slimmer design and lighter profile. It's noticeable over my almost 5 year old MBP that I'm upgrading from.

My only lament is that I wish everything wasn't soldered in so I could replace/upgrade it myself, but that's not just an Apple problem, most laptops are going that way in the name of decreasing size.

I'm pretty happy with this new kit actually, but I've only used it for a few days thus far.
So the justification of the warrants is to use a "national security" cover for spying on people while evading discovery for when we don't actually use it for national security? That sounds pretty impeachable to me.

This is utterly brilliant and absolutely needed to be said.

I don't see it as bashing Tolkien per se, but as pointing out the dark side of nostalgic fantasy. Tolkien's fiction is wonderful to read, but it can also be deconstructed pretty brutally.

There's an author who did the ultimate in this area. He told the story from Mordor's point of view:

http://www.salon.com/2011/02/15/last_ringbearer/

A similar deconstruction can be carried out in the real world against, for example, the nostalgic hipsterism of people like James Howard Kunstler. I actually agree with many of Kunstler's aesthetic criticisms of suburbia, but if you dig deeply into his corpus you find a strong thread of reactionary elitism -- what I call a "white pastoral fantasy" set in an imaginary past.

Of course nostalgic fantasy isn't the only thing you can deconstruct... "progress" oriented sci-fi like Star Trek can also be turned upside down. A friend of mine sort of popped that bubble long ago when he pointed out that Star Trek is exclusively told from the point of view of military starships with world-destroying weapons. Think that might be a biased perspective? Would the "Singapore in space" federation really be a good place to live? Ever notice that there's basically no culture, music, or art?
