Friendly Captcha | Data Engineer - Bot Protection | REMOTE within EU | PART-TIME or FULL-TIME | Office in Munich, Germany | https://friendlycaptcha.com

At Friendly Captcha we do one thing and we do it well: we protect websites from malicious actors and bots.

We provide privacy-friendly and accessible anti-bot solutions that don’t annoy users with tasks like clicking fire hydrants. We make the internet a bit better every day by winning over customers currently using Google reCAPTCHA.

We’re a growing, profitable, fully bootstrapped company. Our revenue mostly comes from medium to large European enterprise and governments.

We’re looking for an engineer whose focus will be on using data to improve our bot detection and protection. Telling apart bots from genuine users is vital to our product.

If possible, we prefer to keep things simple (perhaps boring is the right word even?) - choosing an if/else rule over a neural network. Good knowledge of the web is always useful in this company. At our scale we are looking for generalists more than specialists.

Our engineering team is fully remote across Europe, we meet up in person a few times per year. You can work either 4 or 5 days per week, fully remote or (partially) from our Munich office. Please note that we ONLY consider candidates located within the EU/UK/EEA/Switzerland.

Stack: Golang | Typescript | Clickhouse | Postgres | Redis | Python data science stack

The problem is that so many executives in charge of customer support see dollar signs with AI, and then implement the shittiest possible version of an AI chatbot that makes support interactions significantly worse. For example, I had particularly bad interactions with Doordash, Lyft, and Chipotle “support” in the past year. The chipotle one a few days ago — they gave me a completely different item than the one I ordered in the anpp, and the bot wanted me to talk to the store in person about it. Why even have an app with delivery options if that’s your answer.

If anyone working on support bots reads this, you should realize it’s very easy for a bot to tarnish your companies reputation which can add up over time. You MUST have a way to tell if interactions are deeply frustrating to the humans. Since people are used to being patient with humans, we have a higher tolerance before we become frustrated with a support person. (And support peeps know this isn’t even that much true.) Not when we know we’re talking to a bot.

Seriously, fuck all the executives who bought into chatbots for support without bothering to make it a thoughtful experience. (Which in my experience so far, is all of them. Maybe Amazon is better, but they’ve had easy refunds with a simple form for years and years!)

It's doable, but it took me closer to 20 years. I got to zero net assets in July 2001. Retired from paid work (mainly sw eng contracting) at the start of covid in April 2020.

I should say, at the start I wasn't married and had no dependents. Also, for large parts of those 20 years, I didn't need to own or use a car.

That sort of connection would be very susceptible to psychic attacks - I'm thinking of the telepaths in Babylon 5, being trained for offensive capabilities, as well as just plain old spam advertising. So while "defaulting to trust" is often considered societally useful, I believe that it would be better for everyone if cross-brain messages are sent in a format that can be analyzed (and entirely blocked) by a filter on the receiving side.

Flimbe is a journaling app I created, available for free on the App Store. I built it after trying many different journaling apps and finding that none of them fulfilled my needs. There are tons of journaling apps out there — it feels like two new ones pop up on r/DigitalJournaling every day — but none offered what I was looking for: privacy, a simple mood tracker, no data logging, a free price tag, and local-only data storage.

That’s why I decided to make Flimbe myself.

I’m considering turning it into an open source project. I know it’s a pretty simple app, but with help from others, I think it could become much better for everyone using it (including myself). I’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!

I don't have looked into Flame too much, but I would say the main difference is that Flame builds on top of Flutter while right now Bullseye2D only builds on the web package.

Flame offers more out-of-the-box features, while with Bullseye2D you have to build many things yourself, but it doesn't force you into a predefined structure as much. The API is more prodcedural style, making it relatively quick to learen in its entirety, without too much "magic" happening under the hood.

I think for most people Flame would be the better choice (it is also been around longer, which means better support...), however, I really love extremly simple approaches. I also believe it has advantages when you tailor your systems and architecture to your own requirements. Lots of stuff in 2D Game Development is also extremly simple (so often having to deal with a complex physics module or rendering pipeline or entity component system is contraproductive).

We are so different, but I guess with a lot of training we could interpret each others thoughts. A first step would be to record your own thoughts and then replay them in order to see if you experience the same thing you did when the thoughts where recorded. It's possible that our brain is constantly re-configuring so that even your own recorded thoughts would make no sense.

I use the the code lenses of code action feature of the LSP so that the user can start a preview. The LSP server will then open a native window on desktop.

Every time the users do some change in the code, the editor sends the document and we re-render the preview.

I use the textDocument/documentHighlight request to know when elements are being selected from the code so I can highlight them in the preview.

When selecting an element in the preview UI, my LSP server sends a window/showDocument to position the cursor at the right location. And if the user changes property or do change in the file, we do a workspace/applyEdit command with the changes.

Btw, the code is there: https://github.com/slint-ui/slint/tree/master/tools/lsp

I hope someone can enlighten me, as it's not immediately clear the significance of it.

Does this mean that Huawei phone which has been hurt badly by sanction will now stand a fighting chance because of homegrown GPU?

How good or bad these GPU compares to the SOTA GPU in the west?

And does this mean that Huawei has the ability to crank out the GPU commercially?

Cmd+Q quits the running application i.e it will close all the open windows of the app and quit the app. On Windows Alt+F4 is for "close the window" (macOS equivalent of Cmd+W) or to be more precise it sends the "WM_CLOSE" message to the window and the program can do whatever it want to do with that message, the default behaviour of that message handling is to close the window. Closing a Windows doesn't necessarily means quitting the app. If you have multiple Notepad windows you will have to do Alt+f4 on each one of them to actually "quit" notepad. Some Windows app have a quit shortcut like "Ctrl+q", if you press that on Notepad, it will behave like macOS Cmd+q.

On another note, the first keyboard shortcut I change on any Linux installation is the "Alt+f4" one, it is such a painful key combination to press :)

> When people deep into the startup-woods say "Fail" what they really mean is "Didn't take over the world". Their perspective of "winning / failing" is a bit more black and white than the average person.

Good point (also, “deep into the startup-woods” is a great way to put it). I suspect there’s a major overlap between those people and the ones who are obsessed with products “killing” another. The same kind of people who are hyped by any new shiny pebble as if it’s the second coming of Christ and immediately eschew everything which came before. The people who are so blind to context they shouted “zOMG Google is dead because of ChatGPT” because they were incapable of thinking for two seconds that Google has a ton of cash to survive in the long run, were already leading research in the field, and (of course) wouldn’t just fold their arms and stay still. In short, people not worth listening to.

I've been puzzling about this as well. The best answer I have (as an interested maths geek, not a physicist, caveat lector) is that it sneaks in under the assumption of "molecular chaos", i.e. that interactions of particles are statistically independent of any of their prior interactions. That basically defines an arrow of time right from the get-go, since "prior" is just a choice of direction. It also means that the underlying dynamics is not strictly speaking Newtonian any more (statistically, anyway).

Attribution revenue is what I would consider the gold standard for these types of services.

It makes sense on paper, if the service helps confirm legitimate reviews for you and convinces you to purchase said product, they should receive attribution revenue for helping generate the purchase.

The reality is much much messier though, because often times the people who award attribution revenue have a conflict of interest against any service that could even potentially expose bad practices happening on their marketplace.

I once worked for a popular deal site that developed a price tracking extension, a certain marketplace threatened to completely ban us from attribution revenue and we had to kill the extension over night despite our users loving it.

Congrats on the launch.

I built a similar app with search functionality and bookmarking some time back

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/h-for-hacker-news/id6744145932

This was primarily built as a way to learn building apps. I went for a style similar to the website and tapping the comment closes the parent comment.

You're right, we should keep our development skills in shape and hold on to sanity when writing code. Especially n+1 queries and other types of calls to another system would cause problems invisible for profiler (some kind of profilers?).

That's why when converting data from one list to another I used to always initialize the latter with the known size (now I use Java streams mostly)

On the other hand there is me doing JMH microbenchmarking in code that was eventually parsing configuration files (only once at startup) which was the moment I learnt the said quote from Donald Knuth from the colleagues reviewing my code

I've been using the NotebookLM "podcasts" for this. I upload an arxiv pdf and use the Interactive Mode to have them talk about it, while I can pause them to ask clarifying questions. It's been surprisingly efficient for me to get an initial grasp on things I'm not familiar with, at times prompting me to then go on exploring interesting rabbit holes.

"Object-relational mapper" is a misnomer, they should be called network data model to SQL mappers. They're not primarily for mapping between different arrangements of the same data, but about recreating a network data model perspective. How many ORMs support composite primary keys and non-binary relationships?

As you said, the challenge of understanding math is why the relational vision failed, but also why the industry keeps reviving the network data model.

Inspired by interactive blog posts:

https://worrydream.com/ExplorableExplanations/

https://www.inkandswitch.com/potluck/

https://koomen.dev/essays/horseless-carriages/

I’m building a publishing stack for “vibe blogging”, think Bolt.new x Substack. It consists of:

Authoring: users write Markdown, LLM turns it into interactive MDX post

Sandboxing: MDX with generated widgets is rendered in e2b sandbox

Pipelines: generation & publishing (sanitization, etc) pipelines run on Inngest (their docs won me over Temporal)

Distribution: via subdomain/paid custom domain. Stripped version of the post for repurpose as a newsletter (Inngest Workflows)

Demo is nearly ready, I’ll launch it on Show HN and share it with waitlist subscribers soon.

I’d love feedback on:

1. Does it make sense to go mobile first and focus on ‘interactive micro-blogging’ (Twitter with widgets)?

2. I consider launching in price sensitive, but creator-rich markets like India, Brazil and Mexico to build momentum. Anybody has experience with that?

All thoughts welcome!

If you want the anti-EU points on that subject; the EU once (the 90s) represented around 40% of the world's semiconductor fabrication. Then the Asians decided that was a bit silly and the situation should be rationalised.

Things like ASML are the tattered remnants of the EU being a powerful force in this market. China might not be able to replicate ASML, we'll see. But if the EU can compete meaningfully with the Asians at semiconductor manufacturing that'd be a shocking development.

And with the others as well, the secret sauce of training is still secret. Their competitors' "open source" in Gemma, Llama, etc is closed source. It's like Mattermost Team Edition where the binary is shipped under the MIT license. OpenAI should be held to a higher standard based on their name and original structure and pitch and they've fallen short, but I think to say they completely threw it out is an exaggeration. They hit the same roadblocks of copyright and other sorts of scrutiny that others did.
Show HN: Cold Craft – Chrome extension to draft cold outreach messages instantly
by ForgedLabsJames | 2025-07-02 10:30:06+00:00
Hey HN,

I built Cold Craft, a Chrome extension that helps draft cold outreach messages quickly and naturally. I often struggled to write outreach emails or LinkedIn messages that didn’t sound robotic or forced, and found myself spending ages rewording them. As a developer, I thought there had to be a better way.

With Cold Craft, you just select the recipient type, purpose, and tone, and it generates a tailored message instantly. I built it to keep the flow simple: minimal clicks, clean UI, and fast results right inside the extension popup. It uses OpenAI for generation.

Building it taught me a lot about Chrome extension architecture, especially balancing a smooth UX with secure auth flows, efficient API calls, and bundle size optimisation.

If anyone here does cold outreach regularly, I’d love your feedback on how it feels to use and what features you’d find most valuable. First few rewrites are free to test it out.

Thanks!

Amazon is great for returns.

Buy $50 something from aliexpress, doesn't work, you can't do anything. Seller wont refund directly, you need to send the item back... to china... and fill out export forms and pay more than $50 for registered mail.

Amazon? Doesn't work? Doesn't matter why, here's the return label, we'll refund you the moment we get the return.
