Alluvium | Brooklyn, NY | ONSITE | Full-time | http://www.alluvium.io/
Alluvium is an enterprise software startup developing a mesh intelligence platform for complex industrial operations. The platform is designed to support machine intelligence software services for industrial operations wherein there are complex streams of heterogenous data, and expert human operators tied to those operations. The company was founded in September, 2015, and since then has received interest from a broad spectrum of industries – most notably oil and gas, fleet and logistics, and advanced manufacturing.
We're looking for software engineers and product engineers to join our small team in Brooklyn and help us build core products and technology.
As a software engineer you will help us build out our core stream processing platforms for doing distributed machine learning on noisy streaming data from physical systems. We primarily work in Scala.
As a product engineer you will design and build great web experiences for our users by understanding their workflows and finding ways to convey complex information. If that sounds interesting to you, we would love to hear from you: http://www.alluvium.io/software-engineer http://www.alluvium.io/product-engineer

This dataists post of the popularity of programming languages is relavant, though the data may be a but outdated.

Thankfully, the good folks at Redmonk revisited this analysis recently.

There was a parsing error with the "#" in the function for grabbing StackOverflow tag counts, so now F# is ranked much higher.

zoom.it is what was formerly known as Seadragon, but the new version does not require Silverlight.

Python rocks, but Python + R + bash rocks way harder for research
agconway | 15 years ago | on: Countries ranked by ease of starting a business
Note: there is literally no relationship between a country's 'Starting a Business' rank and their 'Closing a Business.'
This seems odd to me, but wonder if anyone has an explanation as to why this might be?

I doubt there is any professional endeavor free of "politics and politicking." Universities are large bureaucracies, and come with all of the institutional morass present in other organizations of such scale.

The orientation is wrong because I reversed the lat/long axes (dumb). Thank you for pointing that out, it's fixed now.
Color is a more difficult issue, because so many different attacks type categories exist in the data. Welcome suggestions

"...corporations offer such perks as BMWs and $15,000 signing bonuses, as Raytheon did in June for software developers with top-level clearances."
That seems very low, considering the relative scarcity of people with TS clearances and the level of compensation made by software engineers in industry.
Am I right?

Well, as is pointed out, it will only result in a job if all the tests pass

Read "Simulacrum and Simulation" by Jean Baudrillard, then question everything that technology provides.

High Scalability, where I actually found the video, provides a great review.

Glad this list still resonates with researchers.
I have added an addendum to the bottom of the list promoting the Enthought distribution (http://www.enthought.com/) of Python, which includes most (maybe all) of these packages in a single distribution.

I use a LaTeX plugin for WordPress, but I thought it just rendered them as images. I will see if there is an upgrade, thanks for the heads up.
