Come work at Rackspace near the Exceptional.io and Mailgun team in the heart of San Francisco (2nd and Folsom), we have 14k sq feet. Rackspace focuses on building big systems to serve builders and are incredibly customer-focused, dead set on building useful services that operate at scale.

There are various roles, here are some of the details:

* All: Get stuff done, people that are motivated to make an impact

* All: Excited to build new products, passion for new technology, new programming models

* Backend Engineer: Distributed systems experience, passion for large scale systems

* Frontend Engineer: Architecting interesting fully client side apps, dashboards, live updates, etc… Angular.JS experience a plus

* Sr Development Manager: backend team, someone with experience managing large team

* iOS/Android Engineer: Building the next generation iPhone/Android experience at a B2B company

* Embedded Engineer: Build C compatibility layers, cross-platform software, software that runs on a server and makes sysadmin’s life easier. Business logic is written in Lua.

* Open Source, we have an “Open First” motto, so write code and release it!

* H1B transfers are good

I run the San Francisco office so please ping me directly, daniel.dispaltro@rackspace.com

It's so easy to focus on the bad in a situation like this but I wonder how many successful police pursuits that resulted in lives being saved. It reminds me of airbags, if they save 99% of lives but end up causing 1% of deaths then it is seen as a bad thing, but in reality it is really saving lives. It's just a terrible situation that's hard to understand, there is no black in white right answer.

Rackspace is 100% supported in libcloud, both first-gen and next-gen. Just like bpiatt said, the whole library is maintained by Rackspace employees and others. Side bar: The community has only gotten better and the abstractions too!

Never lie on applications, and companies do background checks because of PCI reasons. For instance, if you said you had a college degree and you didn't, you'd most likely not be hired. However, if they know you didn't have a degree and you didn't say you had a degree up front then most likely you're fine. Regarding PCI, if you're a felon they can't hire you. As far as I know, most companies don't look at credit score.

As a side note, we have open sourced many projects in Node:

* https://github.com/racker/node-elementtree

* https://github.com/racker/node-cassandra-client

* https://github.com/racker/node-zookeeper-client

* https://github.com/cloudkick/whiskey

Absolutely, shoot me an email!

I was under the impression that Doozer was ditched by Heroku, keep in mind this was through the grapevine and therefore; it's speculation.

This is an awesome idea, I love the fact it allows both learning parties "skin in the game", without a financial incentive.

I am guessing each chrome "tab" (read: process) has it's own db open, that is just a guess though.

Im curious on node fibers. They seem like a second class citizen in node, any chance they will become mainstream or will it always be like Twisted is to Python.

Maybe we can make that happen. Ill ping some folks, email me dan@cloudkick.com and Ill keep you updated.

We are trying to create a new way of doing things, right now we have a lot more on the monitoring side of coin; however, projects like cast are some of the next generation of tooling for CK. http://github.com/cloudkick/cast

Not at the moment, but you can always add machines from providers we don't support with https://support.cloudkick.com/Setting_up_Cloudkick_with_Phys...

Do they have an IaaS solution yet?

Would infochimps.com be useful for this?

It definitely has much better documentation.

Its actually very easy to setup. Install and run ./bin/cassandra -f nothing like the troubles with HBase.

Administration is pretty hands off for most tasks. For instance you want three copies of each piece of data? Set the replication factor to 3. Other parts are difficult to "get" if you don't have an understanding of the code, my best advice is to make sure you approach Cassandra from a developer perspective. You can't treat it like a black box quite yet.

We are running in a virtualized environment, we've done a pretty good job at adding capacity for performance and space reasons ahead of the demand. Loadbalancing is pretty hands off, its just something that takes some time and fundamental understanding, as there are still ways to shoot yourself in the foot with this system.

Its actually amCharts a flash graphing tool.

http://amcharts.com/

We actually run all those calculations "offline" basically we are trading disk space for speed.

Twisted does it with inlineCallback

I just checked, make sure and use raphael 1.0 rc.

Dmitry Baranovskiy is the guy who wrote the http://raphaeljs.com/analytics.html page too.

They are beginning to release some charting api built on top of raphael here http://g.raphaeljs.com/. The project is at this url http://github.com/DmitryBaranovskiy/g.raphael

Tornado has its own EventMachine-like equivalent as part of the stack they released. So you could use it to do TCP non-blocking IO if I grokked the code correctly.

IBM's "supported" browser is still only IE6 last time I checked which was about a year ago...

Quite an achievement. The Apple guys did a great a job with the ad too. I guess its what they are known for!
