iacr.org is for cryptography-related papers, and a lot of pre-prints go there. I think a lot of them don't get to Arxiv.

Not one of the maintainers, just an avid follower :)

I love this idea. How hard would it be to adapt it to eprint.iacr.org?

As someone who is not at all involved in that community, I'd love to hear what are the pits many projects fall into and what does Blender avoid.

Ask HN: Surface/iPad Pro Linux equivalent?

I'm looking for a device that has great pen writing capabilities, ability to present to a monitor and preferably a detachable keyboard.The main requirement is that it has Linux support so I can use it as my day to day development machine when needed.

I understand the embarrassment, I am sometimes embarrassed as well looking at quickly-put-together code

I do appreciate papers that give you either a reference implementation or at least enough details on how it was done. I spent too many hours on papers that didn't trying to reproduce their claimed results...

QED-it | Tel Aviv | Software Engineers (Protocol, Delivery, Backend) | Full-time | ONSITE, REMOTE

QED-it, a funded Tel-Aviv based startup, is looking for experienced software engineers to join its core team. We are tackling the hardest and most interesting problems in the Blockchain space - solving the consensus/privacy paradox, using zero-knowledge-proofs. ZKP is a new technology, that up until recently was solely explored in academia.

We are funded by smart money from top tier angels, and have assembled a team of experts in cryptography, computer science, security and distributed systems. We’re at the heart of the private Blockchain industry. The founders built and sold successful businesses in the space, and are focusing on privacy as the key to Blockchain deployment, impacting industries from banking to aerospace.

QED-it is building a unique product combining cutting-edge technology, design and implementation of cryptographic protocols and user/developer-facing APIs. We’re looking to expand our team with great individuals!

-Positions-

* Protocol - https://qed-it.breezy.hr/p/cc072d5f4fda-software-engineer-pr...

* Delivery - https://qed-it.breezy.hr/p/8e71a2050560-software-engineer-de...

* Backend - https://qed-it.breezy.hr/p/e9a34e9a0893-software-engineer-ba...

-About you-

* Enjoys being part of the whole product life-cycle up until the end-user

* Entrepreneurial spirit and a hacker mentality

* Without using Google, you know what Q.E.D. means, possibly even 2 different meanings

-OK, fine, how do I join?-

I wish. I don't know how to get this service in Israel, for any amount of money.
Re:Ask HN: Do you write code on the train? What's your setup? on Tuesday November 14, 2017 @02:28AM (#15693365)
It's my most productive coding time!

XPS 13 9360 which has great battery time and a form factor of 11" but a monitor of 13". I also have an unlimited cellular internet plan that I use for ssh and rdp. It helps that I know vim well enough that I can code adequately on a remote machine if needed.

I just ordered this week a mobile charging station so I should even have more juice.

Indeed! zkSNARK is a more exact term for one of the technologies we utilize, but we didn't want to miss a chance to reference https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunting_of_the_Snark.
