I got a chance to meet some these guys and they're all great!

For Poland, you have to be local to Warsaw, sorry :(

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 :)

Does anyone know or have an estimate on how many of the 233,000 total are filed under the Master's cap?

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.
Just donated as well.

Well then, third post in week or so, I see HN has become the official support system for Coinbase ...
Love the website, good job!
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.

Re:My Internship Experience as a 13-Year-Old on Tuesday October 08, 2013 @12:30AM (#6513059)
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.

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 :)

Re:My Internship Experience as a 13-Year-Old on Monday October 07, 2013 @10:39PM (#6512700)
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!

I thought it was very well written and was quite amused!
One of the Norwegian samples is an interview about Varg Vikernes (aka Burzum)!
You should come work for Hadapt, we love Yalies :) PM me if interested.

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.
