untitledwiz··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2015)
Teradata Labs | local in Boston, MA or remote within US timezone; local in Warsaw, Poland | H1B transfer OK

Our group within Teradata Labs (Teradata Center for Hadoop) is an active contributor to the SQL on Hadoop open source project PrestoDB. We're looking for senior software engineers to join us in bringing PrestoDB to the enterprise!

Here is our technology stack:

- Presto is entirely written in Java 8

- Administrative and infrastructure support tools are written in Python

- We use Git for source control

- We are big believers in continuous integration so we run builds and tests continuously on Jenkins

- We use Chef, Vagrant, Docker and Cobbler for automated installation and environment provisioning

- We work with various distributions of Hadoop

As a Senior Engineer you’ll be responsible for the following:

- Building new functionality into Presto to increase enterprise adoption

- “Thinking at Scale” and being a performance conscious engineer

- Applying strong familiarity with algorithms and complexity analysis, database systems, and distributed systems concepts

- Writing unit, integration, and system tests that run in our continuous integration environment

- Collaborating with teams members to solve engineering problems

The Teradata Center for Hadoop was established through the acquisition of a startup (Hadapt) and so the culture and feel of our office is still very much that of a startup.

PM me if you're interested :)

untitledwiz··on CLion – Brand New IDE for C and C++ Developers
Interesting ... I find the IntelliJ interface to be much more visually appealing than Eclipse's, especially when I use the dark theme.

UK and Germany would also be good options. I know the UK has a points based system so if you are highly educated with a good salary in the US you will most likely meet the highly skilled point quota and receive a work permit.

Add them all up, subtract that from the actual sum of 1-250 and voila. Optimization bonus: you don't need to do the second sum, there's a closed form (I don't remember what it is, but I do remember Gauss came up with it as a kid).

> Moderation is key to everything.

Amen.

Your thoughts are a great extension of what I had in mind, agree with everything you said.

untitledwiz··on My Internship Experience as a 13-Year-Old
Different perspectives are definitely useful and thanks for taking the time to share yours. It sounds like you have figured out the priorities in your life and have balanced things out. That's really all I was advocating for, balance.
untitledwiz··on My Internship Experience as a 13-Year-Old
It's great you're exercising daily, aim to make it part of your daily routine, it'll pay off very well in the future.

When I was your age I had days and even weeks during my summer breaks when I would get bored out of my mind. Believe it or not there's some benefit in that. It allowed me to find new ways to entertain myself and definitely boosted/developed my creativity. Try to get bored every once in a while, it feels nice :)

untitledwiz··on My Internship Experience as a 13-Year-Old
Please, go outside, play and run around. Learn to skate, get a boyfriend/girlfriend. There will be so much opportunity for work later on in life. Definitely spend time coding if that's what you love but don't make it your everything. Develop other aspects of your personality/intelligence/body equally. Best wishes!

Tech bubble or not I am just glad that we may be seeing a decline and maybe even a reversal of the brain drain by Wall Street.

These kinds of efforts are amazing! I am left speechless. This group represents the true essence of hacking.
untitledwiz··on Game Theory 101
Ya I took the exam yesterday at Yale. Pretty long and difficult, everyone stayed for the full 3.5 hours. Professor Polak is a firm believer of having a good spread of scores and so made the exam long and challenging. All in all it was a good class, I just wish he spent more time defining things in a more rigorous way rather than bombarding us with intuition.
