Scribd (YC '06, "Netflix for eBooks", top 100 website, 50 people) is hiring talented devs in a variety of flavors to help us build the library of the 21st century.

We've hired TEN full-time people and TONS of interns from these "Who is Hiring" threads ... we do go through all of the applications we receive in response.
There was some feedback about people not hearing back at all. We take candidate experience very seriously and recently hired someone to own our recruiting process and now everyone who applies through our job board (http://grnh.se/gr84t3) will get a response.

We're looking for people who want to work with:

* iOS OR Android (we're a top 10 eBook app with more reviews than Wikipedia, with a small mobile team so there’s a lot of opportunity for impact and responsibility)

* Machine Learning / data mining / recommendations - think Netflix prize, but for books!

* Ruby on Rails (we're the #2 largest rails site, after Twitter)

* Javascript (well, we use Coffeescript)

* Internships: junior standing or above for all areas of engineering. We hire several interns every summer and year-round and we’re currently looking for our first round of 2016 interns to start in the winter term.

We care way more about your personality, potential, and general hacking skills than what specific languages you've used so far, so if you haven't used these but want to break into mobile or web development, this could be a good opportunity for you. We've hired people from these threads with everywhere from 0 to 10 years of experience. That being said, there isn’t always an opening that’s a good fit but we do our best to find a match for talented people and there are several people who interviewed 2 or 3 times before the time was right.

To expedite your application, please apply directly to our job board where you’ll find all of our current opening and the job descriptions. We do our best to respond within 24 hours, and you’ll get an answer either way.

We're profitable, very well funded and have a really fun office environment (go-karts + a jam room!) in the center of the startup world in San Francisco. Scribd alumni have gone on to found 4 other YCombinator companies, more than from any other startup. We think this says something about the kind of people that we like to hire, and we love hiring people with entrepreneur and startup ambitions. We are also always looking for international people interested in moving to the US and can help you secure a visa.

The more I learn about the US educational system, the more I consider it sucking majorly. I don't know how you can put up with that stuff. I already consider it a source of major social injustice, that here in GER you will only receive state-help for the first 5 years of your studies. But it's at least still possible for everyone who wants to get a degree, if they are willing to exit with something like 10K€ of interest-free debt, payable over 8 years (and have something like a 10h/week job on the side, which is incredibly easy to get as a CS-major).

I guess I'm just overly priviledged by the german educational system… :-/

The problem is that DNT isn't verifiable DNT should be done in browser and in the original website by not loading the tracking scripts at all.

ATM how it goes is that the DNT header is attached to outgoing requests and you "hope" that the 3rd party is discarding them.

I assume those features are strictly for the MS stack. Am I wrong? Do they work with Python? In terms of costs, what do you pay for it (including the OS)?
How so and what is your experience with both? I've been using VS for a few years now, I used Emacs in college, but I much prefer VS (although I haven't touched Emacs for a long time so I'd like to hear more about what you like about it more).

Does it have good integration with things like Peeking defintion, code lense, Debugging with watch variables/autos, etc?
If you really want to be a stickler you should use PPI, not DPI.
I've never used emacs so am completely ignorant. What makes emacs superior? All I know is the speed that can come with keyboard shortcuts.
Not sure what percentage are "ghost-chartered", but according to this article I read earlier [1] corporate fees cover over 25% of Deleware's budget.

I was going to write a little client library for a REST API my city's transport system exposes, and I think I'll try this out on my gaming PC, rather than my intended plan of writing it on my Macbook.

My worry is it's going to create VS-specific files, which I'm adamantly opposed to (or any IDE-specific files, for that matter). We'll see, though. I guess I tolerate the .idea directory already, I just don't want to depend on the VS files, similarly to how I have a .gitignore line for .idea currently.

I can't be sure if it's because I already had cygwin installed on my PC prior to my upgrade to 10, but I'm very pleased with the updated cmd.exe. I think I recall ctrl C/P working as expected too!

Right now I'm dealing with a weird encoding issue when I SSH to my Ubuntu box from CMD.exe, but I'm sure it's just a setting somewhere I've got to tweak.
I'm going to restrict myself to official documentation here as much as possible....

Recovering from a crash:
This is a difficult topic.

The Thing from the Future
Given the lack of enthusiasm that Windows generates, I don't think it ever had "Mojo". But it has market share, which is probably more important.
Someone posted an Ask HN about the Youtube play bar about 9 hours ago. I can't help but think the timing is merely coincidental.

I predict that Twitter revenue will grow as iOS 9 is released. iOS 9 will cause mobile advertising to undergo a paradigm shift as app-centered advertising becomes more important than website-based advertising. This will lead to increased ad dollar spending on Twitter.

>Some of the recent threats to the ability to implement competitive browsers are non-technical

I believe the biggest threats remain technical.

It's too challenging or expensive to implement a competitive browser engine from scratch.

Add to that the challenge and expense of building a Search Engine or Smart Assistant (significant features integrated today's browsers) it's nearly impossible for all but a few companies to even try to enter the market.
In my experience (C# & Java), Eclipse's autocomplete doesn't even come close to Intellisense. Not sure if that gap is any different with Python.
I see a bit of this on the devops world, any employer that does this sort of egotistical dick swagger I drop immediately. There are TONS of good opportunities out there where you don't need to play dumb little games.

And don't get me started on those who use those equally dumb Google questions. "You are shrunk to the height of a nickel and thrown into a blender..." Its not a creative question its basic physics, stop asking things you don't understand or aren't relevant
if it was for three months, it would mean 50 a day for all previous months.
> a feature PyCharm doesn't already have

It's free.

I'm sure there are a lot of Python developers who already have a full-featured IDE they love, but then there are also people (like me) who sometimes write Python and just use Sublime Text or Vim. Or even Eclipse.
If they had VS on OSX I'd definitely give it a shot. Unfortunately, they don't, yet.
This is a very fascinating subject, but it appears that the link is down at the moment - has anyone any insight into these excavations and what they may have discovered? It is absolutely fascinating that this artwork has survived 40,000+ years of human occupation, and I think its probably one of the wonders of the world that we are able to discover such things, even now. It sure puts the Western world into perspective - Gabarnmang is 8x older than our existing sense of civilization. A truly wonderful discovery which I hope will bring context to the world today - especially in relation to our modern understanding of the ancient civilization of the indigenous Australians who, alas, have suffered greatly as a result of our Western, European, ignorance of the world around us. I sure hope we are able to preserve these cultural treasures long beyond the current century .. and I also hope we discover more from this wonderful site.

If anyone has anything else to contribute about the excavation and discoveries in Gabarnmang, I for one would love to hear about it. Ancient society as expressed by the discovery and interpretation of the remaining artistic artifacts is a topic that should be very well respected by us modernist, technology oriented peoples..
Yep, it's a race to the bottom.

I seriously doubt if most folks thought about it they'd really want "7 ways to survive a zombie apocalypse. You won't believe #3"

We are creating the digital equivalent of idle and pointless chatter, only a couple/few magnitudes more damaging than real idle chatter involving humans standing around.
I'm sure I can agree that Java, C#, Python, or Javascript are any better than Ruby in terms of difficulty of installing and maintaining the "right" version on your system, or in terms of quirks that are not present in other languages. Python's block definition syntax can be extremely confusing to beginners. Idiomatic Javascript is very difficult to explain to a newbie. And Java and C# are overloaded with so much boilerplate syntax that someone trying to learn the basics gets overwhelmed in the first 10 seconds.

I don't think there's one "right" language to start learning to program in. Different languages appeal to different mindsets and are good at doing different things. There's no limit to what you can accomplish in Ruby, Python, C#, or any other language, so if you find something that works for your brain, go with it.

Agreed.

PyCharm makes my developer life so much better....

I've been converting people from Eclipse to IntelliJ/PyCharm left and right at work.
Did you work with other IDEs/languages before you started working with VS?

I typically use VS every day (currently on 2013), and yes, I have a similar experience with other IDEs. Then I remember that I know VS pretty well, and maybe that's why this other IDE doesn't seem so great. If I spent 8 years with a different IDE, and someone gave me VS2015, I'd probably have that same "this clearly isn't as awesome as X" feeling.
Not scared! Most of the families I've talked to around my neighborhood want to move out to a better / safer place. Could just be my specific block though.
Jesus, what a whiner. When has it not been about more than the ability to do the basic work? Also, his concerns about weirdos from some high-falutin' Ivy league school shouldn't matter none to you 'cause you weren't born with a silver spoon in your mouth. So keep it in your pants until the revolution comes and they can be the first one up against the wall, or, in the US, it can be the blacks as per usual.

So anyhoo, capitalism makes a meal out of everyone. Why the continued neruoticism about it? Fuck it, you're just animated matter making its way to the grave. I mean, unless you decide to care about something. But please, for once, can you make that thing not be you, and your career, and what people with power & money think of you? 'Cause all those things suck - especially you.

This endless navel-gazing over your career is nauseating. Look, let me clue you in, you need to be the same religion and political party as your boss, so be a Republican Born Again Christian or else learn to keep your mouth shut and quit complaining. The notion that you have full control over your destiny or career or where you live or in what cardboard box you live in - it's all bullshit. Just ride that shit out and eventually you'll be dead, and then you won't have to worry so much. You big dumb baby.
I don't think anyone has a problem with this being the default, because novices need it, but I think people should have the option to turn it off.
- Electric vehicles are more energy efficient.

- Gasoline requires lots of transport. (Shipped across the ocean, trains, refinery, delivered to a gas station, travels with the car until burned.)

- Electric vehicles last longer.

- Electric vehicles can be charged with a personal solar array.

- Less smog which means better health and cleaner cities. Making density more attractive is always green.

- ICE cars have 152,300 automobile fires per year in the US.

- Even creating electricity using bad methods keeps the pollution somewhat concentrated. Does this matter with regards to climate change? Probably not, but I don't know.

How long does it take to set up Emacs to be as good as IDE? Also, how little effort does it take? Thing about something like VS or IDEA, is that you install it, and all the stuff is already set up. I have deadlines, and for me, tinkering with my editor is very much a hobbyist thing (whereas I'd prefer to be writing actual code in my free time).

This.

This is like China wanting to extend the great firewall to the rest of the world.

The first time ?ve read the comment I read "Alibaba", now, that would have been interesting! Airbnb is successful indeed but it's a "tax-wise iffy" solution to an old problem. On the other hand competing with Alibaba takes the challenge to a whole new level!
I haven't seen any difference. I interviewed late last year for a bunch of positions.

Many of the programming problems required knowledge of major math theorems and proofs. My education didn't include these things (things that aren't normally dependencies of the job) and as a result, I failed those interviews.

Interviews that did not include this dependency resulted in offer letters 100% of the time.
But isn't that how Twitter works. There is a small chance the celebrity will tweet back at you.
NIH syndrome. Some company thinks that they can do better than the STL, or that it doesn't meet their needs, or that they have a bunch of legacy code that was written before the STL and they have to maintain compatibility, or that they're a bunch of special snowflakes that deserve to have their own, or whatever. So they write their own, even though the STL is just fine.
Their rate limiting is laughable compared to the amount of data they produce (even on prod apps) so good luck :/
I've not used this, but about the second bit:

I've developed a few pieces of software on Windows and by far, the most painful thing I had to do install Visual Studio Express to compile some of the C extensions. I used Pycharm on Windows, so it pretty much abstracted away tasks like making virtualenvs, setting up environment variables, etc.
Won't stop people from trying and getting upset when they run into that little obstacle.
g2.8xlarge is 4 GPUs and costs 0.6945/hr on spot instance. You could contribute 120 GPUs for 2 weeks, which would be pretty insignificant: http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=osstats2

I agree with you, although I suspect many people confuse the clarity of Terminus with AA being forced off because its a bitmap font. They really want a non-AA display, and Terminus being bitmap forces the issue.

If you just shut off AA there are some fonts almost, but not quite, as good as Terminus. Non-AA Ubuntu Mono is almost as good as Terminus. Non-AA Source Code Pro is almost as nice as Terminus. Dejavu Sans Mono is almost as good as Terminus.

The clarity and consistency of Terminus never fails to impress me. Other fonts have like 25 good glyphs and at least one "whoops" usually a M or W or E. Think of Monoid or the sad M in otherwise good Ubuntu Mono. Then again Ubuntu mono is definable as a Terminus clone with a broken M. Or sometimes none of the glyphs are individual disasters but the whole font has crazy variations, think of the Meslos some verticals are double width very strange looking, unreadable, looks like old fashioned ransom note.

I used an OCR font for awhile a couple years ago. Its not bad once you get used to it. An ugly yet productive duckling. Easy to read does not necessarily equal beautiful (with the exception of Terminus).

I have a suspicion that Terminus and buckling spring / model-M keyboard use correlate, as a "will not accept anything but the absolute best" attitude.
