Switzerland — 5-9% vegetarian — 179 cm avg male height

Austria — 5-9% vegetarian — 179 cm avg male height

Germany — 4-8% vegetarian — 180 cm avg male height

I mean, if you think height doesn't matter for men, I think you may want to think about it.

Chinese drones yes, there's no equivalent of the US DJI ban as far as I'm aware. China have been supplying both sides in the Ukraine war.

Chinese weapons .. no. Plenty of traditional EU arms companies to do that, and this is one area where I'm OK with the traditional EU protectionism.

A more interesting question is the two big countries which are part of NATO, on the European continent, but NOT part of the EU: UK and Turkey.

> I've had it turned on for a while in a large web project and it's been very helpful, and almost feels type-safe again

In my experience "almost" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Typing in python certainly helps, but you can never quite trust it (or that the checker detects things correctly). And you can't trust that another developer didn't just write `dict` instead of `dict[int, string]` somewhere, which thus defaults to Any for both key and value. And that will type check (at least with mypy) and now you lost safety.

Using a statically typed language like C++ is way better, and moving to a language with an advanced type system like that of Rust is yet another massive improvement.

Cloudflare | New York City, Austin, London, Lisbon, San Francisco, Seattle | Full Time

I’m hiring for some (IMHO) really fun product manager roles on Cloudflare’s Developer Platform (workers.cloudflare.com)
- Workers Runtime - Set vision for our V8 isolate based runtime that lets people deploy JS, TS, Rust and Python to the globe in seconds with great dev ex.
- Containers - Help build our new containers platform into the best place for both agent Sandboxes and stateless global apps.
- AI Agents - Define what Agents on Cloudflare look like: from our AgentsSDK, to Sandboxes, to MCP Servers, “Code Mode” (see our blog) and more.

We’re a really technical group, and tend to like product managers that can straddle the line between engineer and PM. You should be able to set high-level vision, understand architectural constraints, and be technical enough to really deeply understand our users (developers).

Show HN: Workflow Hub, Open library of human-AI workflows you can clone and run
by hirokiyn | 2026-02-02 16:07:31+00:00
Hi HN, I’m Hiroki, founder of Epismo.

Every day, people share “must-use” prompts, but copying a single prompt rarely reproduces real outcomes. The missing piece is the workflow: task decomposition, step order, intermediate artifacts, and quality checks.

So I built Workflow Hub, an open library of human-AI workflows you can clone and run. Each workflow includes step definitions, inputs, expected artifacts/outputs, and verification checks, so you can copy the whole process, not just a prompt. You can clone a workflow, customize it, then execute it in Epismo with the best agent for each step.

PH: https://producthunt.com/products/epismo
Link: https://epismo.ai/hub

If you have a workflow that’s working well for you, please share it. I’m personally curious what workflows you’re building with Claude Code, Cowork, or OpenClaw.

Maybe it's a bad idea to build critical UI bits with React? I mean, I'm a big fan of React for a lot of things... but I don't think critical pieces of UI/UX interactions should be built with it at all.

The taskbar, start menu, file explorer, desktop and system settings are areas that should be boring, consistent and just work. That hasn't been close to the case since Windows 7.. Windows 8 was the start of the decline and that was over 13 years ago. While I like some of the things that have come to Windows since then, there's probably twice as much to dislike. Hire/promote/raise someone to act as a UX czar for Windows all around... design a "final" UI/UX target that covers existing features (starting with a checklist of everything that currently can be configured everywhere)... and finish that design.

Stop shifting gears and enshitifying the overall experience to wring every cent of "value" out of every user out there. Get a full release cycle or two with no new features... just solid bug fixes and a more consistent UI/UX. I know there's kernel features for new GPUs, improved storage and CPU interactions and scheduling... but the UI/UX on top of the kernel is a mess and it shows too well.

Get your staff aligned on a common UX theme... I don't care if it's back to Fluent or something closer to where Win11 is, but at least get it consistent above all else. It's a mess. Fire half the managers... stop giving out bonuses based on new features in windows, and give bonuses on sections of config/settings that are marked as complete without falling back to legacy UI from the late 90's. Not that the 90's setup was that bad compared to the hybrid bastard we have today.

In a previous job I had a "kick the server" button configured from a Termux integration that would automatically SSH in, punt some logs my way and kill some commonly misbehaving services we didn't control, and then failing that reboot. As long as my phone was on the VPN it was generally a one-click triage.

For a couple of weeks I'd automated myself out of on-call by hooking that to an automation that fired every time I got paged. I wasn't brave enough to keep it going in the long term, but it was the best two weeks of sleep I had at that place.

> No product had such a fast transition from novelty to "omg i never want to interact with a human again".

I still recall when taxi services were the only offering, and Uber et al were marketed as ride sharing services instead of ride hailing services. It's hard to put into words the transformative effect that ride hailing services had throughout the world. Overall rides are now far safer and more reliable, to the point where the old days feel like the dark ages.

Trump supporters believe that the status quo was intolerable, and interpret Trump's bad qualities as further evidence that he has what it takes to smash that status quo. He's the bully on your side. In an intolerable situation, the nastier and more volatile that bully is, the better. It took me a long time to understand this.

Different Trump supports will have different parts of the status quo that they personally despise. The abstraction is universally true, however.

I've never, ever had a good experience with Gemini (3 Pro). It's been embarrassingly bad every time I've tried it, and I've tried it lots of times.

We're looking for someone who:

* Is an expert in Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and observability tools

* Has deep platform engineering experience and experience executing complex infrastructure migrations

* Treats platform capabilities as products (gather requirements, iterate, measure adoption)

* Excels at cross-functional collaboration beyond traditional IT/ops boundaries

* Communicates technical tradeoffs effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences

This is a foundational hire with significant influence over our platform direction. You'll build the next generation of infrastructure and tooling that lets our engineers ship faster and sleep better.

Because they're still schizophrenic about that. It's not an either/or thing. Trump likes tariffs, and a protectionist strain has appeared in the Republican party, but the pro big-business/small government stuff is there, just not so monolithically dominant.

Charted Sea | Senior Product & Platform Engineer | REMOTE | Full-time
Location: Hong Kong
https://chartedsea.com/about

Charted Sea is a small, bootstrapped SaaS company helping customers scrape very complex platforms such as Shopee (a major e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia). We focus on hard technical problems (anti-bot, browser automation, fingerprinting, captcha solving).

We are hiring a senior engineer to take ownership of our core platform: scraper orchestrator, billing & payments, customer dashboard, and parts of our AI-based captcha tooling. This is a hands-on role with real ownership: architectural decisions, setting standards, and gradually mentoring other engineers. The role is very full-stack (infra, backend, frontend).

Stack includes TypeScript (most backend & web), Rust (new backend services, migration in progress), Go (Android scraper), PyTorch (captcha solvers), PostgreSQL, Redis, GitHub Actions, Ansible, Ubuntu Linux, bare-metal Hetzner servers.

We are profitable, demand is growing fast, and engineering bandwidth is the main bottleneck. Team is small (3 engineers), fully remote, mostly async (we expect ~4h overlap with UTC+8).

Compensation: $80k–$120k USD base (depending on experience) + monthly bonus tied to company revenue (10% of net revenue shared with employees).

Apply by emailing marc.plouhinec@chartedsea.com with a short intro and CV/GitHub. I'm the founder and will personally read and reply.

It comes with an rsync wrapper, fpsync. Now I'd like to see a benchmark of that vs rclone!

Full-stack Engineer with 2+ years of experience. I specialize in building complex, data-heavy frontend systems and automating the "un-automatable."

Engineering Highlights:

• Built a WCAG-compliant accessibility engine: Developed a full-stack scanning platform from scratch (Node.js/Vue). Solved the challenge of real-time DOM auditing and automated remediation via an embeddable widget. Currently in beta with enterprise clients.

• Architected high-performance scraping infrastructure: Engineered a scalable data-processing service using Puppeteer and MongoDB. Optimized it to handle 1,000+ complex records efficiently, bypassing dynamic rendering hurdles.

• SEO & Performance Engineering: Led the technical SEO and content strategy for a platform reaching 2M+ organic visitors. Focused on Core Web Vitals, SSR optimization (Next.js), and semantic HTML to drive growth.

• Product Ownership: I don't just close tickets; I actively shape the roadmap. I've spent the last year translating business requirements from stakeholder meetings into stable, production-ready features.

Currently seeking roles in Tokyo or remote-first companies. I value TypeScript-heavy codebases, Agile workflows, and teams that treat frontend as a serious engineering discipline.

Oddly enough, as impressive as Gemini 3 is, I find myself using it infrequently. The thing Gemini 2.5 had over the other models was dominance in long context, but GPT5.2-codex-max and Opus 4.5 Thinking are decent at long context now, and collectively they're better at all the use cases I care about.
