Deft (former Servercentral ) | multiple, sw engineers | Chicago or remote, (US preferred)

I have 2 openings in my team, but we are hiring a lot. I invite you to look at the listings (https://jobs.lever.co/deft/). In my team I look for two software engineers (https://jobs.lever.co/deft/165ecdc4-17ba-476f-90d9-4ce6e5fbd...), senior or staff.

Skill wise we look for anything, from backend to devops, full stack or front end, datasci/eng and streams. Cloud or Unix admin or networking experience very helpful, but also service now or quite honestly anything. we are almost always remote.

As consultants we work on a lot of very different things. This week I have been setting ci-cd pipelines on kube in azure, doing Kafka streams applications on a colo deployment and some AWS cognito and amplify. This to say, it’s a great learning opportunity and a good chance to expand your horizons. I need someone that is ready and excited about continuously learning new things.

Tech stack: AWS, Azure, python, js, node, php, bash, go , Java. A bit of all the things honesty.

Compensation: competitive and decent benefits. 401k matched and large personal development budget.

Contact: Dre (myself, [email protected]) for the software engineers, here’s the official site for applying https://jobs.lever.co/deft/ and you can pm me for any questions. https://www.deft.com

Beorg for iOS solved this problem for me.

Remember this spaceballs scene https://m.imgur.com/t/funny/Q13Qr ? it cannot be a coincidence.

I stand with OP on the bugs. I own top of the line 15in, and can confirm audio freezes, glitches and ffs sometime also random reboots.

You really should hear how presumptuous you sound. How are teaching your son to deal with people? How is he going to learn that he lives in a society? That sometime life is boring? that sometimes you are not the only one? 3 hours a day might be enough for the curricular material, but schools are much much more than that.

I believe that when you homeschool your child, you are just blindee by your presumption. For one good student that comes out, you have one thousand religious zealot that believe earth is flat. It allows atrocities a la "dancing mom". It allows people to avoid vaccinations. Without mentioning the social awkwardness. I truly believe homeschooling is also a crime against humanity.

A left right organization also give you clue of which side of the field the teams are playing.

I clearly agree that the current graphics sucks, however I feel you are missing one major point in this discussion: Where's the sponsor's promotion? That said, if I had to guess why we ended up with this abominable graphics, I believe that 30% of it is pure corruption, 40% is tasteless "let's make it look like a yunday" and the remaining is actually the desired "favela style".

Writing underwater, in space and at non standard angles. Pencils could not care less about gravity or lack of air, and have a wide temperature range of operation. I've no proof on this, but my guess will be something like -150:600 ± 50C.

those drawings are beautiful. how you did it? babel?

They are developed by the dozen, per day.

I'm assuming OP is the author:

very nice idea, very nice execution. Few things that imho need to be fixed (probably fast fixes): 1) Ensure that the print settings are correct. i.e. the pattern get splitted on two pages, for no reason. 2) resizing the browser window stretches/squeezes the picture. You shoud probably listen to the resize events and re-trigger the generation, change the patterns to some css, or simply set the generated image as cover. 3) translate the code in english. In softwares, having standards is a good thing.

I always wonder what would have happened if humanity had invested in conveyor belts instead of cars and roads for the last 100 years. I can't shake away the sensation that it could have been a better call.

please add "from the future" to the title - may 1st 2014?

I do agree 100% with the comment about the graphs. Also, I'm surprised to see UTF-8 in the wordcloud. Is it an error or is a real spam word? I don't know if I'm missing something but I would have add it to the stopwords. but anyway, very interesting read, thanks.

Because is not going to make you happy, and on the long term is going to damage the mankind. Keeping the hippy crap out of the discussion, the problem is that you are already suffering from of the greed of your parents. And for your sons will be even worst. Problem is that greed, most of the time make you choose for an easy income vs substantial growth. But the problem is probably deeper. Someone few days ago suggested this book. I invite you to give it a try. http://hn-books.com/Books/A-Guide-to-the-Good-Life-The-Ancie...

The list of mailing lists very well curated and useful, few of them I did not knew about. In my digests subscription I also have:

and FountForge

I agree 100%. Our group is a very shitty case. Probably I've just bad luck, but is hard to believe:

In my former group there was no micromanagement, nor all this crap. There was however a shitty situation too where the bully was the golden-boy. That was the place where this happened:

    A, B, C write paper, submit to his pal D.
    D appoints E,F,G as reviewers.
    C, and E were in school together.
    F was a C student.
    G sends the paper back to C to auto-review it. 
    C cannot be bothered, so delegates the review back to A.
    A reviews his first name paper.
