Opendoor New Products Team | Product Engineer | Anywhere in US | REMOTE / SF / NYC | Full-time

Opendoor’s mission is to empower everyone with the freedom to move. We believe the traditional real estate process is broken and our goal is simple: build a digital, end-to-end customer experience that makes buying and selling a home simple, certain and fast.

We are a “startup within a startup.” A small, cross-functional team working on one of Opendoor’s next plays. I helped create this team when my previous YC startup was acquihired by Openhood.

For the right candidate, this role should feel like the best of all worlds: the funding, supportive infrastructure and gravitas of a public company; with a full-stack, scrappy team building from scratch, immersing in customer needs, and iterating fast.

Our team is unique within Opendoor, and also for the technology industry more generally. We have c-level executive sponsorship to move fast and independently, and to build from first principles. Our team has experience building from “0 to 1” at Opendoor, Square, Dropbox, Uber, and Y Combinator-backed startups.

Could you share what domain your company is in? Just curious what has such HA requirements

I use `z` as a less manual way to search common directories instead of changing $CDPATH. It's based on 'frecency'.

tmux panes and windows become native iTerm panes and windows. It allows you to open and split with the iTerm keyboard shortcuts you're used to ⌘N, ⌘T, ⌘D.

Make sure you use `tmux -CC` to launch

Would you all like it if the links on the front page of HN were more like those on Discover dev, or happy with the way it is?

Whether you like the way it looks or not, it's amazing how influential Stripe's current aesthetic is:

Here are the direct Lyft pages on the two new driver features mentioned in the article: Scheduled Rides [0] and Power Zones [1].

DataWrangler [0] (now productionized as Trifacta Wrangler [1]) does pretty much that. It gives you suggested lists of transformations such as "Cut from position 18-25 as the Year column", that you can chain together as your data cleaning pipeline.

Is there a way in which MathJax could redirect their cdn.mathjax.org to cdnjs.cloudflare.com and maintain backwards compatibility for existing sites?

A DNS redirect would break the SSL, right? Perhaps a HTTP 3xx redirect?

I've been a long-time user for OS X's built in text-to-speech [0].

IMO, it actually performs pretty robustly on these examples. Is Apple still using just diphones, or are they post-processing in some way?

Nuzzle (http://nuzzel.com/) is a great option for email digests of articles that several of your Twitter followers have shared. I haven't looked into how much customizability they give you over the content/frequency of the emails though.

The author's title seems misleading, since in the post's comments Thomas acknowledges how he's not sure if his design was being actually used for Silk Road or if his leaseholder really was freelancing for SpaceX.

For its EECS undergrads, Berkeley requires CS 195: "Social Implications of Computing".

Justin Kan has this great quote: "Startups mostly don't compete against each other, they compete against no one giving a shit."

Sorry, what's EEE?

I didn't check the source, but rendering the <canvas> to a data URL, and using something like this [0] would work.

We've even seen botnets in the wild, using Twitter for their command & control.

I like that that this implementation lets you shift right/left for a split second after you let the piece fall.

Not all Tetris versions I've seen do that. I'm not sure what official behavior, though.

I'm seeing "Please wait for the host to start this meeting"

Sounds great, looking forward to chatting with you and others!

Sid, willing to meet with us too? It'd be very appreciated!

(I totally understand you can't do this for everyone who'll ask.)

P.S. I'm also open to a peer feedback session for anyone else applying!

Sounds neat! Have you open-sourced this?

An alternative is to use Jsonnet [0] (a JSON/YAML templating language).

You can define an inheritance relationship, where your template inherits pretty much everything EXCEPT the environment variables. Or the jsonnet cli lets you specify variables to be replaced in the template.

There's some kubernetes flavored examples in [1].
