MOTU — ONSITE, INTERN or FULLTIME — Cambridge, MA (Harvard Square)

MOTU crafts industry-standard, award-winning audio technologies. We are known for our high-quality audio interfaces, our professional multi-track recording software, synthesizers, virtual instruments, and effects. Our products are depended upon by musicians like Beyoncé, Danny Elfman, Michael Giacchino, Alan Menkin, Pat Metheny, Alexandre Desplat, Pete Townshend, Cirque du Soleil and Madonna.

We're a small, dedicated team of engineers based right in Harvard Square in Cambridge, MA. We are a different sort of full-stack: from the UI down to the DSP, the drivers, the FPGA and the physical hardware and everything in between. Our latest AVB line of hardware is a networked audio device that can stream hundreds of channels over ethernet following the AVB IEEE standard with just .625ms latency. Each unit has an embedded linux server that allows users to control it and mix in realtime from any device with a browser. Our DAW, Digital Performer, is a standard for film, TV and game composers around the world.

We develop mostly in C++11/14, Python, CoffeeScript and JavaScript. They're not prerequisites by any means, though, and we're always excited to incorporate new technologies.

Interested in the future of digital audio and music creation? Feel free to contact me directly at michael_miller@motu.com.

Eric Mazur on the conversion of solar energy into electrical energy
>“It turns out that the one-eyed view of the world is deceptive,” says McKee. If you ask people with normal stereovision to close one eye and judge the position of objects along the line of sight, they are terribly imprecise, even if they shake their heads to create motion parallax.

Wouldn't you expect people to do better with the vision strategy they've used their entire life? Isn't it better to compare people with normal stereovision and people who are stereoblind?

It's like complaining that rifles aren't accurate, because expert archers hit more targets with bow and arrow.

What should I be doing to find a candidate who can code and understands basic concepts without asking them to demonstrate that ability to me? I've been burned by people who talk a good game.
I do agree that this is very un-Java. However, how would method overloading allow for the simple given example of shuffling a sequence?

seq.shuffle(); // copy to a new seq and shuffle it
seq.shuffle$(); // shuffle the original seq

These two methods should have the exact same signature. So using two different names is necessary. I'm not particularly fond of introducing $ as a substitute for !. That convention is not existent in Java, and is not at all obvious to anyone who hasn't studied a functional language.

I would probably solve this by simply making shuffle always in place, and add a copy constructor and/or copy method:

// Copy and shuffle.
(new Seq(seq)).shuffle();
seq.copy().shuffle();

// Shuffle in-place.
seq.shuffle();

Not to mention those synthetic fabrics are a direct cause of microfiber pollution, so using them over something biodegradable, like ordinary cotton, is pretty much the opposite of environmentally friendly: http://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2014/oct/27/...
The difference isn't the actual print operation; it's all the boilerplate that has to go around it.

In Ruby, `puts "Hello World"` and you're done. The most you have to explain is puts and string literals.

In C#, you have to create a class with a static main method. You're then left to choose between explaining classes and methods ("what's static? what's void?"), or skipping that and just treating them as the magic incantation for running a program. Pedagogically, neither is satisfactory.

Ruby wins the Hello World simplicity contest, hands down. The question is whether the long-term benefits of C#'s program structure are worth the increased overhead in the Hello World experience.

Ask HN: How real estate management revolution should look like?
Good day everyone!

I am working almost a year on platform, which will solve issue with usage of multiple different systems for rental management (utility provider portals, invoicing systems, payments systems and so on). Right now we are at stage of development of MVP and I decided to ask for your opinion.

What type of issues you would like to see as solved by using such solution? We have mentioned few on our landing (www.Rention.com), but I suppose there is a lot of more ideas somewhere near...

Will be more as happy for any comments and ideas.
Thanks!
That's...significantly more expensive than I thought it would be per day.
oh wow. there are a couple of things here I strongly disagree with.

> Ruby isn't widely used in practice.

Rails, Chef, Puppet, Homebrew, Cocoapods, Vagrant, Jekyll... The list goes on.

> Ruby programmers tend to be very emotionally invested in their programming language.

replace Ruby with any programming language and the statement it's true. human beings just work this way.

> I'm not sure what the "best" first programming language is

This misses the point completely. There is no best first language. People think they have all the answers, when in reality the experience of each individual is unique. Anything that gets you interested in programming / lower the entry barrier is a win in my book.
It's odd that you think private companies who own and operate the Grid need public support to expand it. If demand increases they make more money which can pay for upgrades directly or in the case of large shifts pay down loans.

PS: A 2% change per year is actually well within normal variations.

I've done a wide variety of things, from AI (rules systems) to network management systems, storage, biological statistical modeling and HPC management infrastructure/operations. I've transitioned mostly away from software to sales/marketing/technology evangelist/quasi-wannabe-product manager, though I still cobble together custom tools for necessity or amusement.

Not totally sure what I'm looking for, other than I'll know it when I see it (to paraphrase Potter Stewart).

For fiber? So I assume that they aren't going to be doing much digging, rather that they are going to string a few more lines alone already-existing paths.

>will make it possible to move data at speeds of 10 gigabits to 100 gigabits.

Wow.

In all seriousness: Kudos to whomever wrote the grant application. 5mil will keep people in work. But this project won't come anywhere near what is necessary to stream the data from 1% of the LHC's detectors. A private high-speed network is all well and good, but this isn't anything remarkable.
Features include:

- Flight Inspiration Search allows you to answer the question: Where can I go within a given travel budget?

- Extensive Flight Search allows you to answer the question: When is the best date to fly?

- Low-Fare Search lets you find the cheapest one way or return itineraries.

- Hotel Lowest Price Search by center point/radius and by latitude/longitude window.

- Car Rental Availability Search by center point/radius and by airport.

- Trains & Rail supports Rail station auto-complete and information.

- CO2 Emissions Data average per passenger by origin and destination.
Agreed. I used that tool to explicitly tell Google my interests, and started receiving ads about Django IDEs and other useful things, instead of whatever useless junk I'd been forced to see before.

Edit: formatting.
Yes, it does. Well, actually vi, which is its predecessor.
And I likewise don't care about Rescorla, I've never mentioned him in this discussion and I don't know why you bring him up in this thread. I see that Bernstein mentions him, but I really haven't.

It's obvious that DoD guys managed to add to the standard texts (most of the people reading would never know that it should be ignored, the text is there among all the other important texts) the mode in which enough output of the RNG will be part of the initial communication. The step 2, "now just implement it, here's the link" maybe hasn't occurred this time but it was almost a kind of backdoor entry to the standardization process. I can imagine that even if it wasn't really successful under your criteria, the DoD guy who managed to push it even that far could have been promoted. Or if somebody outside was involved with such a goal, could have received nice fees ("see, it's there, looks like the text of the standard, quacks like the text of the standard..."). Exactly like this discussion we have now: I can easily quote the text of that proposal (it's easy to Google it) and "it looks legit" (heh) but I have honestly no idea how I'd even find what was written in the relevant mailing lists at that time (or even more honestly, I know that I'd probably find it when spending more time than I'd like to spend, so I prefer just communicating, like most of the potential "targets"). For completeness, even if you already wrote what you consider important, I'd surely welcome your links to the relevant posts you mention.
It's not about the hiring team looking for anything specific that a degree could give you, it's that they've bought into the old idea that the piece of paper is a hard wall that separates them from the homeless guy outside. The corollary of "I'm superior and secure in my position because of this degree" is "someone without a degree is inferior". Fear and self-doubt are the only reasons that anyone requires unrelated degrees.

Simon Singh, the guy who wrote that book, also made a very cool documentary on it. It used to be on YouTube, but it was removed by the BBC (they have a very annoying habit of removing educational content from YouTube). It's on the BBC iPlayer.

I don't know that it's even clear that using Uber-like services reduces carbon footprint. I mean wouldn't a car wear out a lot faster if 20 people were using it as opposed to 1? Sure, some components in a car are mileage independent, but generally not the most critical ones like the engine and transmission...

Two: Why would we want a engine with Maya or 3DStudioMax interoperability? Most indie developers would not be able to afford Autodesk products because they are so pricey. The only people I know who use Autodesk in the gaming industry are those who make AAA games. If you want to contact the least common denominator, then you need to make some changes to the way you do things.
I've been wondering whether population is the right statistic to correlate greenhouse gas emissions with. Wouldn't it make more sense to compare it with a measure of productivity?

Where's the electricity coming from? If your answer is natural gas, or oil powered generators, then no, there isn't a price point where it will break even.

Now if you can answer that question with nuclear reactors or renewables of any kind, then your logic probably applies. Yet, I doubt it will ever be the main fuel powering our transportation.

UrbanStems (https://urbanstems) || Fast flowers at affordable prices

We're growing and need a highly skilled JavaScript (Node) developer to come help us build stuff quicker. Our backend is almost fully powered by Node. The position requires someone who can adapt and thrive under pressure. Some of the backend is being moved to micro-services but we're not planning to go overboard with it. You'll be the third engineer (joining me and another person) and employee #15 so you'll have a huge impact on not only the tech but the company itself. We're passionate about making our customers happy and know that our tech plays a big part of that process. Come join us!

Most of the work requires backend knowledge:

* JavaScript (we're slowly moving the codebase over to ES6), Node/io
* Postgres, Redis
* API development
* nginx/AWS/DevOps (some base knowledge, at the very least)
* Would be awesome if you know front-end dev (Backbone, React, moving to Flux-like arch soon). Not necessary though so don't fret.

Please email me at chetan@urbanstems.com. I definitely value seeing your past work over a standard resume but feel free to send it along.
I love the HTML source code of one of the linked MOO games:

No HTML tags, very clean & compact. It's rare to see handwritten HTML these days.
Since this drops directly into GLSL, it can't/doesn't support dynamic types or closures -- types are inferred into their GLSL equivalents.

I do agree that being able to control precision is important, and as of yet I'm not sure the best way to implement that.

+1 for Spacemacs. Former vim user, now using smacemacs for past few months.

I found a number of things just work way better in emacs than in vim. For example, web-mode was a revelation for me. I could never get vim to get syntax right in mixed HTML-JS files.

Ability to edit very large files with ease was another one in favour of emacs. Vim would freeze up for a seconds or two while saving even half a megabyte file.

helm and family blew my mind away.

Another win spacemacs is it does not hide default emacs functionality. All default emacs keyboard shortcuts would always work, so learning vanilla emacs is still helpful.

Once I got to know spacemacs shortcut layout, it was surprisingly intutive.

Right, that's what makes it a classic hard design problem. The best solution, to the extent that it even exists, is necessarily going to be imperfect, and will be found somewhere in the middle.
