We're hiring!
We are working on a project called ALIAS for DARPA developing software to make helicopters fly semi- or fully autonomously. We have several openings right now (2026). We're working on C/C++ on Linux. The team is in Stratford, CT.
It's exciting stuff with a great team and a truly exceptional leader. We're working under the Sikorsky Innovations program modeled after Skunk Works. We get to move quickly and try lots of new things. Our team has our own custom helicopter called SARA (Sikorsky Autonomy Research Aircraft), which was flown by non-pilot reporters from Wired [0] and The Verge [1].
You can get in touch with me directly. Include HN in the subject line.

Do you know any US citizens? You can certainly encourage any US citizens you know to contact their Reps and Senators.

If not google.com, then maybe youtube.com, which would have very likely been shut down in its early days had SOPA existed then.

I agree - type overloading says templates to me rather than inheritance. C++'s tuple class lets you do some of the cool listy type things you can do in Haskell. Using typedef tuple…

So maybe get these companies to spend nine figures founding a non-profit to systematically challenge the patent trolls' portfolio.
