Managed by Q | NY, NY | Full-time (on-site)

Q is building an OS for physical spaces, backed by a comprehensive technology and service platform. We believe that creating good jobs is fundamental to our success. We treat all of our employees well — from software engineers to office cleaners. We know that 5-star service comes from talented, motivated people.

Our stack is Python (Django and Flask), MySQL, RabbitMQ, React, Flux/Redux, all wrapped in Docker but we welcome excellent engineers of all backgrounds. We value both those who want to specialize in a particular area and those who like to work across the stack.

We're currently focused on senior-level candidates (4-10 years of experience) who like to get their hands dirty and want to work as individual contributors. Potential to move into leadership roles in the future.

It seems like this is the future and I'd like to get an early peek so I can help my team move once it's release publicly.

Thanks!

It looks like we accidentally hugged their site to death.

I'd prefer to have all the comments located in a single location (e.g. ~/.comments or ~/Dropbox/comments-<hostname>) rather than litter hidden files all over the place because I could (1) easily back them up, (2) share them (even across different platforms), and (3) allow multiple users to set local and global (shared) comments.

EDIT

How do I find my Kimo Williams?

A few weeks ago I was listening to a show on NPR about how to get into programming (I believe one of the founders of Codecademy was a guest) and one of the guests said something that has been running through my head since:

    5-10 years from now, entry/junior-level programming will be blue collar job.

It was my understanding that most CS programs include a course covering formal languages and grammars. At my school it was called (creatively) Theoretical Computer Science.

Learning to break apart a regex and rebuild it as a state machine is where the real magic happens.

For question 7, can someone confirm that

  int a[][3] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};

It seems that every time I read articles about quantum computing, the increase in computing power is described with gaping hole:

1. Qubits can be 1 and 0 at the same time

2. ...

3. Solve hard problems!

Can someone provide a link that fills in the middle somewhat? Preferably, aimed at an audience with something closer to undergrad engineering degree and than a PhD?

Did you try holding the trackpad button during boot?

Tweets from ~12 hours ago suggest that the circumstances are indeed similar.

`wget` returns an error with every URL I try.

It seems this is the guy who also did the unauthorized security audit of the Boston subway system.

Why was this down voted? HIV was my first thought after reading the article.

On another note, does anyone have info on the rate of death by virus world-wide? I'm only curious so we I compare to other major killers (cancer, heart disease, etc).

This is really great but I'm not sure this is going to eliminate any of our major traffic problems.

If you drive to work every morning I can't imagine you're going to pull out your phone one day hoping to find a different way to work.

Google's update to Navigation only helps the non-commuters when what we really need is something to unlock bumper-to-bumper commuters.

The first commenter from the blog got it right

> Seems unhelpful to compare benchmarks where one shows the work completely optimized away.

The author doesn't offer any benchmarks of (something resembling) real code.

Background check sites are the lowest of the low. Worse than Steve Yegge's "cat picture" sites.

EDIT: My only reason for saying the above is that I can only imagine these sites being used for borderline nefarious purposes.

I was going to suggest the same thing but I'll add that it might be prudent to start cross-referencing posts based on URLs in posts and comments.

I wrote a script to automate these steps as well as taking a few options to allow me to:

- adb clean (because chasing syntax errors that don't exist is a headache)

- run my (shockingly limited) test suite

- copy the .apk to a shared Dropbox directory that I use to let a few people help me test nightly builds

Without the tests the full build takes a few seconds (on MBP from March 2011).

I'm not sure about you but I definitely don't show my humble side when I'm drunk.

In all seriousness though, I appreciate his attempt to be avant-garde. If it backfires, we know why. If it gets him a few jobs, we know why.

I happen to be going through this process for the first time right now and it's good to see that I am, at least somewhat, on the right track.

The off-hand remark "what levers we can pull to increase revenue" has been particularly true for me. It wasn't until I put together a spreadsheet where each variable could be adjusted independently that I realized the far reaching effects of some seemingly minor aspects of our target demographic.

I know this wasn't the point but I definitely didn't know a 747 was that big.

<30 seconds is considered real-time? At the company I used to work for, all clients around the world had to get the same data in <1 second.

Does there exist a definition of "real-time" that can be used across industries?

For example, operators can be overloaded, so that many math operations, and even punctuation such as “,” can be overloaded by programmers.

',' is an operator too, not just punctuation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma_operator

It would be nice to have a code snippet for each of the examples. I'm a fairly experienced C++ developer but my knowledge of compilers is, admittedly, lacking and I just want to make sure I'm on the same page.

Otherwise, a great read.

PS– Is it just me or is LLVM coming up more and more these days?

I remember reading about something like this before (I'll try to find the article if I can). Basically, the reason for verification being so pricy is partially based on the illusion that this is really worth something.

An example (from the article): banks used to build enormous, unreasonably large buildings with pillars and impressive entranceways. People were more likely to trust a bank that could afford such a building because it showed that they would be there for a long time to come.

Similarly, if a website is willing to pay to be verified then it indicates (at least to me) that they didn't put up the site on a whim. They're in it for the long term and this is (supposedly) backed by a company I can trust.

What role, then, do Open Firmware and EFI play if the hardware is being initialized by coreboot?
