Bluebeam Atlas | Front-End & Back-end | Dallas, TX | Onsite | Full-time

The construction industry is adopting technology at a feverish pace. These days you won't just see people carrying large rolls of blueprints on a job site, but also laser scanners, mobile apps and wearables. It's not just people either, drones and robots are making to their way to the job site in ever greater numbers.

What you won't see is how all of these new technologies work together.

Bluebeam is on a mission to make the construction site of the future safe, efficient, and connected. We believe the products we're building will improve the way the architectural, engineering, and construction industries work, and we need your help to build them.

Front-end: https://boards.greenhouse.io/bluebeam/jobs/1495594 - For front-end, React and/or Angular experience a plus, experience with hybrid and native a big plus.

Back-end: https://boards.greenhouse.io/bluebeam/jobs/1528230 - For back-end, experience with RPC frameworks (gRPC, Thrift, Avro) and experience with Go a plus.

I'm the hiring manager for these positions. Please apply at those links and send me a note at zwentz@bluebeam.com. If you have questions please comment or email me at the same address.

One thing I love about this practice is how simple some things can be, for example daemonization; with Ruby you need the monit and daemons gems, with dpkg, you just need a config file and let systemd do the rest.

On the roadmap, depending on your definition of "streaming" (e.g. buffer streams, websockets).

Yes exactly, that's the idea anyway. Has a few nice features on top such as controlling the network latency and expiring recordings (useful when working on a project supported by a big team).

Netflix | Software Engineer | Ruby, Java, Javascript (Ember & React) | Los Gatos, CA | ONSITE (No remote)

Join the Studio team at Netflix. We are a relatively new team within Netflix, working on tools that help us create new Netflix Originals.

The Studio Production Engineering team believes content creators should be focused on creating content, not on the bureaucracy of managing a studio. We believe if we succeed, better content will be created, we will produce more Stranger Things & Master of Nones, and we will bring more joy and awareness to the world through creators.

We build tools for the Studio teams in LA, as well as for non-Netflix employees that are on-set creating our content. (We're currently piloting a new tool on the set of Glow for example).

We're looking for full-stack (Ruby on Rails and EmberJS), completely back-end (Ruby on Rails or Java), and completely front-end (Ember JS or React).

Apply here: https://jobs.netflix.com/jobs/864893 or reach out to me (#{my_hn_username}@netflix.com) about the Java and React opportunities, and I'll put you in touch with the right people.

* Note: all of the "ors" in the frameworks that we use relate to specific teams within Studio Engineering.

I was about to say the same. I've made a lot of version 2 applications, and version 1 usually has this magic that always causes unintended side effects.

Even if it doesn't bite you, it will bite someone else.

Interestingly, Roku was create by Netflix, at first it was Netflix TV, but they spun it off.

You know what would be interesting? Doing this on our own DNA. What if that 0.1% difference between us and chimpanzees, was caused by such a capsule injected into a chimp by an extraterrestrial intelligence, and our key to interstellar travel, Dyson sphere, etc. has been hiding within us all along?

Would make a cool movie.

Couldn't the same have been said before with the phone industry? The tablet industry?

I find at times like this, it's good to offer an alternative perspective as well, as public criticism of a product can be easy to take personally.

For what it's worth, I found the product incredibly intuitive and very easy to setup. (This was 2 years ago, and the product was young, so I don't know what new features, read complexity, have been introduced to the product.)

This would be very cool for automating parts of AWS. Inclement weather coming? Or an earthquake? Start spooling up servers in another region.

Ah okay, I just tried it again and it worked as you describe.

Okay, so I filled out the apply form on a whim, and there's not response to tell me that it went through. No confirmation on the site itself, no email, nothing. And a lot of "Coming Soon" on pages, I feel this may have been a bit early of a submission.

Isn't one of the big problems with solar collection towers, heating the fluid at night? They've been researching different types of salts and fluids that stay hot longer, so they can essentially run 24/7. With this, couldn't they store the heat and use that to heat up the fluid at night?

Or am I just way off here?

Just the ones that you rarely have to deal with, but you do have to deal with. Like your insurer's site, your bank's, if you're in college and you have to take tests online, that too.

Bank sites are just terrible in general. Why is my least secure password always on a bank site? Shouldn't they have the highest requirements as far as security goes?

Did what Firefox did to IE? They treated Firefox as a slow, bloated, antiquated browser; a browser too in your face with too many security holes.

In other words they built a better browser, and had the powerhouse that is Google behind it for marketing.

I find that trying to ask my question at StackOverflow is the best way to improve. Because I have to think about how best to word my problem, and really make it clear and concise. And usually when I do that, I end up just solving the problem on my own.

Of course, I see a lot of give me teh codez there, so I can see where the author is coming from. Nevertheless, I find it to be a useful tool in helping me become a better programmer.

What if someone else uses the same URL I did?

For example: i.tap2tab.com

Agreed. The narrator just got finished saying, "...over the din of the internet.", and then in the very next sentence they show little notifications with "connect to your social networks"? I don't see anything new or innovative about this interface at all. Their classified UI looked pretty sharp though.
