[Ilugc] [JOB] Yahoo! Search Technology - Content Operations
Ever wondered what it takes to build a searchable database out of the wondrous World Wide Web? Does it excite you to write software that will manage a five-figure number of machines? Do you believe your software should do the actual work while you spend your valuable time brainstorming a new software idea at the snooker table? We, in the Yahoo! Search Technology Content Operations team, do what it takes to keep the underlying systems running better and faster in order to keep Yahoo!'s view of the WWW up-to-date, relevant and fast. If it means seeing a method to the madness of random disks failing across a very large cluster of machines, so be it. If it means, we as the gate keepers of the whole setup, have to automate testing the content building software to meet operating criteria, so be it. About our team: Our team deploys and ensures smooth running of the Search Database content generation systems. "Ensuring smooth running" is a big task by itself and that involves writing a lot of software tools. Given the large scale of our setup, traditional problem solving techniques need to be approached from a new set of angles simultaneously. To give you an example, a tiny cluster (of a few dozen machines) wouldn't be affected by failing hard-drives because probability of disks failing on a given machine is low. However, put thousands of machines into the picture and we now have one of these improbable events happening pretty frequently! We have about a dozen disks failing every day and so it definitely pays to find out the causes on a continuous basis. Now, we need a few more passionate people who not only have a zeal for operating large scale systems but also have Automation in their blood. Want to join us? You should have solid software operations skills with the drive to fix issues as they arise and the knack to identify needed tools and build those tools too. Your duties will be focused on: * Working with the rest of the team in knocking off ad-hoc maintenance tasks * Having and using the wisdom to take a step back and ask "How can we avoid doing these repetitive maintenance tasks?" * Contributing independently to build tools that keep the search content building systems up and running * Communicating by ways of documenting and mentoring in an open-source-like Development Environment. Needed Qualifications: * Proficiency in Perl, Shell Scripting * Very good knowledge of building web-based dashboards (CGI-Perl, PHP, etc.,) * Strong understanding of Unix systems and tools * 3+ years of experience developing Unix tools (in Perl / Shell) * Strong commitment to jump in and fix issues as they arise * Decent understanding of Networking concepts * Excellent trouble-shooting skills * Excellent Written and Oral skills * A BE/BS in CS/EE or Equivalent Good-to-Have: * Exposure to working on Large scale computing environments and Internet platforms * Exposure to Hadoop * Exposure to AJAX and related Web 2.0 frameworks (YUI, Catalyst, etc.,.) How to reach us? 1) Please rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10 on the following: a) Java b) C/C++ c) Perl d) Python e) HTML, CSS f) Javascript, AJAX g) Networking Concepts (*NOT* cabling, configuring routers, etc.,.) h) Data Structures and Algorithms i) Shell Scripting j) Setting up / Maintaining Apache / MySQL k) SQL l) Unix / Linux administrative abilities m) Exposure to dot-com practices and concepts (Logs collection, aggregation, monitoring, metrics, load balancing, etc.,.) n) Hadoop / Map Reduce 2) Make a valid JSON hash string containing your self-assessment on the above 14 areas with the alphabetic index (a, b, c, ... n) as the key and your rating as the value Here is an example. For rating yourself 8 on Perl and 7 on Java you'd include {"c": 8, "a": 7}. You can leave out areas that you don't want to rate yourself on. 3) Attach your resume in DOC / HTML / TXT / PDF format along with your mail. Please DO NOT place any other text in your mail.

Hi Apparently, there is an enterprise where they extract Gold from electronic hardware. They put the PCBs in strong acids, which will dissolve everything except gold and recover the gold used to make the contacts inside ICs in the PCB. Maybe you could try that. AFAIK, this is done in a place called 'Byatrayanpura' in Bangalore.

I assume you meant SVNReporter. You could use statsvn. It can generate the report based on no of lines, no of committers, evolution of directories, files, etc. I've not used this tool yet, but sounds like it can generate the report in html format. On the other hand, if you want to generate the pleasing reports for a open source project, you could consider to use oholo. It is a hosted solution.

Otherwise the corporates would've entered it by now. So, my guess is that the wastes are just dumped into the sewers! Even if the acids are neutralized with alkalies, the resultant solution will still have very very high dissolved solids content that it will be beyond environmentally safe limits.

Note that you need to procure a short code from every provider -- Airtel, Reliance, RPG, etc. so they can route the SMS destined for that short code to your end. If you are handling a large volume of SMS, then it's best that the Telco directly routes the SMS to your computer. You don't need a cell phone at your end. However, your computer needs to support the appropriate SMS routing/delivery protocols -- TAP, SNPP, UCP, etc. Once the SMS is delivered to your computer, you can parse it and take any action you desire. If you just want to test this with a low volume of SMS messages, then just plug any compatible cell phone to your computer with the appropriate software. Eg.

See the SMSCs list here http://kannel.org/compatibility.shtml. I remember using a Wavecom GSM Modem that connects via the serial port. The modem I had was not supported by Kannel, but I was able to tweak the existing driver to make it work with the newer model. Having the source code is so much more fun, ain't it? IIRC, Kannel gateway is capable of posting the contents of the SMS recieved to any specified URL. I used a simple PHP script to recieve the SMS and then do whatever I wanted to do. You can also send out SMSs(e.g confirmations) by posting to an URL that Kannel Gateway makes available. But GSM Modems may be difficult to locate in India. I got mine from Singapore. Kannel is much more powerful - if you are only using the SMSC, it is probably overkill. Of course, you need a SIM card for the GSM Modem to work.
