Retool | SF, ONSITE

Hi! We're Retool - a fast way to build internal tools. We recently launched on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17725966).
We're profitable, growing quickly, and have raised money from great technical founders, including Paul Graham, John + Patrick Collison, Nat Friedman, Greg Brockman, etc.

The market for custom enterprise apps is huge. And we think that we have a promising shot at capturing much of it: we have a product that works, that customers love (go talk to any customer), and whose usage is growing rapidly.

We've significantly de-risked the business (good signals of early pmf, completed 10+ unaffiliated sales via cold email, are profitable, etc.). But there's plenty of uncertainty left as well. For example: how do we convert early pmf into actual pmf? How do we scale sales? Should we be doing sales or marketing? Should we be selling to technical or non-technical people?

We're looking engineers (full-stack) and AEs (you should have experience selling SaaS software). You’ll be talking to customers multiple times a day, no matter what the role. Since we’re still early, you’re also welcome to learn about other aspects of the business, like marketing, sales, or whatever else.

If you're interested, please email jobs@tryretool.com. Thanks!
With GitHub you can use your own domain and have full access to the code. GitHub revokes or kicks you off? Just upload the code somewhere else and point your domain there. That's not the same situation as publishing on Medium.
But who gets to decide what is 'reasonable?' The point of the parent post is that there are no forces keeping prices down besides this vague standard of 'reasonableness', which obviously isn't very useful. Shame doesn't bring down prices; competition and structural reforms do.
I think the claim that parallel compilation with gcc is memory bandwidth bound is unlikely. gcc is known to be a very pointer-chasy, branch-mispredicty load that is highly sensitive to memory latency - far from a streaming load that is sensitive to raw bandwidth.

Still, the conclusion holds: if most of the time is spent waiting for values to come back from memory, a higher core frequency has strongly diminishing returns.
IDE based development, GUI designers, REPLs, graphical debuggers, edit-and-continue, component based frameworks, structured data command line (PowerShell), apis to interact with GUI apps from devenv, dynamic configuration of running apps.

All to be found on Interlisp-D, Smalltalk, Mesa XDE, Mesa/Cedar environments.
I heard someone once said: "I bought a copy of The Mythical Man-Month for my manager. Actually, two copies, because he always has so little time."
I doubt this AI gets perfect performance even in the training set. Deep generative models are known to underfit more rather than overfit, i.e. they can't even do a good job of the full training set let alone the test set. The cherry-picked examples you see are just statistical outliers corresponding to VERY easy examples.
Ahh yes I do remember a few instances of that now... I wonder what the introduction of the magnetic strip was like, looks like that technology arrived in 1969, anyone here experience that transition?

At least you got quite the story out of it, how did you find out that it was the capitalization (also: what is the standard, now I’m doubly-curious)?

Chalking that up to growing pains is quite big of you. That’s a monumental multi-person screw-up in my book.
As someone who's lost data more than once due to problem between keyboard and chair, I like this idea of storing important data out of my own reach.
A professor is not above a teacher. A professor doesn't tell a second grade teacher what to do. They have almost nothing in common.
Can we start mandating that posters include approximate salary ranges. Too often you end up finding out the salary is way less than is fair for your experience, etc... Knowing in advance would save everyone a lot of time and $.
Firefighters who become officers earn higher pay in supervisory roles, so their pensions are even better than non-officers who will tend to encounter the most danger.

A lot of things are propaganda. Showing a crying immigrant child is propaganda. Showing a picture of mourning fireman on the day of 9/11/2001 is propaganda. In each case we may want to debate what the picture is trying to say and whether it is appealing more to the emotions than rational debate. Or not. It depends.

On the other hand, when someone sees the firefighter and says "What a propaganda. These pictures never bother to present a concrete evidence that two planes hit WTC," then we kind of know rational discourse is over, which is what's happening with climate denialism.
>the angular velocity of the Earth about the Sun doesn't change.

It does if your spaceship escapes from Earth in a prograde[1] direction (equivalent to Earth throwing a ball forward, causing a retrograde reaction upon the Earth). This type of escape trajectory is necessary to reach any destination farther from the Sun (Mars, asteroids, etc). It's a tiny change obviously, but it's non-zero.

Note that returning from Mars/asteroids and aerobraking should add angular momentum, speeding up the Earth and at least partly counteracting this effect.

> Not every workload is memory bandwidth bound like his "make -j16" compile.

He actually did `make -j32`, not 16. Which is going to absolutely devastate the cache.

`make -j<number of cores x 2>` was a good rule of thumb back when you had 1/2/4 physical CPUs with their own sockets on a motherboard and spinning rust hard disks. A lot of "compilation" time was reading the source code off the disk. But it doesn't make any sense anymore with so many cores, hyperthreading, and SSDs that serve you the file in milliseconds.

If he's bandwidth limited, he would gain a significant performance improvement by reducing the number of processes.
Brilliant! Bummer, you're not hiring the EU candidates.

3D scans of museum artefacts are a great idea for another reason: they make the collection accessible to anyone with 3D goggles (or a phone, really), rather than the tiny fraction of a percent able and willing to travel across the world.
SEEKING WORK - Portland, OR or Remote

I'm a full-stack developer with 18 years experience. My specialties are Rails, Postgres and Chef/AWS. I'm also very comfortable in Angular, Vue, React, Java, and Python. At the low level I can write custom C Postgres extensions, use SIMD CPU instructions, or implement hot spots in Rust. At the high level I can design and wireframe features and show their business value. You don't want me to pick your color scheme though. :-)

I am reliable, easy to work with, quick to turn things around, and a good communicator. I can work solo or on a team, either as lead or a team member. I value client satisfaction as highly as technical excellence.

I wrote a basic bitcoin exchange using triggers and PL/pgSQL back in 2012. You would insert into an orders table and an after-insert trigger would run the order matching algo written in a PL/pgSQL function. It wouldn't have scaled up too well, I suspect, but it worked really well for the initial product that allowed us to acquire initial customers and raise a Series A.

I would say my experience was pretty positive, I would consider doing something like this again for the right use case. It saved a lot of back-and-forth queries between the app and database and allowed the logic in the app to be much more simple than it otherwise would have been, but at the cost of insert throughput into the triggered tables.

If you are at all considering this route, I would recommend the excellent project, pgtap, for testing: https://pgtap.org/

I used pgtap, along with the cli utility, pgprove, to run tests.
I'd go out a lot more if I could do it without getting up.
I'm wishing Jenkins all the best. I know it since the Hudson times as the de-facto CI system for Java (and Cruise Control before that as my first encounter with CI).

OT: does anybody know a CI system based on plain Makefiles, convention-over-configured for autotools-like default targets, and supporting file-suffix based build and test rules for C + JS + custom compilers and such?
It's a drag, for us especially. We'll get there!
I actually am curious on this:

What would you do if you had "the start-up dream", move as you prescribe to the parent comment or stay and "be part of the problem"?
This is a fine sentiment (double entendre intended), but some people, enough to sway public policy, cannot be reached by a simple presentation of facts. If these people control policy, and one party to the debate has no qualms about controlling them through appeals to their gut, what should one do? If in 100 years humanity is reduced to an impoverished remnant living in the ruins of its greatness, will they be grateful that we kept our rhetoric pure? (Note, I'm not talking about lying, only about presenting information in a way designed to appeal to the audience's emotions.)
Not even close. Networks and relationships can be important.

It's the friends of low level managers who get hired who sometimes have the least credentials.
The rise of Anti-Notifications
No fun! No fun ever! We are very serious.
Any reason for that (tax, legal etc) ?
Well, your project, PouchDB has 20 'contributors' listed on Github, it would seem all but one are male. Give or take maybe one.

So until your own project isn't blatantly gender biased, maybe you should refrain from waiving the 'sexism' card to broadly. Because I'll gather your probably not trying to 'oppress women' over there, rather, there are any number of other more nuanced and complex reasons for the absence of female contributors.

There are many reasons boards are mostly male, and most of it is systematic. They're no more trying to 'keep women off boards' than you're trying to stop women from making contributions to open source. Approaching boards with information, and especially access to women's business networks where boards can find qualified women has actually worked in other areas (Finland) and it's a considerably more responsible approach. (Although in Finland there is mandating as well).

FYI PouchDB is amazing, by the way.

You can just use helm to install the default chart for Jenkins, and override the specific configuration you need.

But it’s still very clunky to work with, and spinning up a pod only happens when the build queue is not empty. It’s extremely slow.

le million' Piece Unique is a luxury phone (and a terrible idea). Mass market products are not luxury.
For bonus points these people typically take on an "act two" career while continuing to pile up the pension benefits.

Great example of this - spoke last year to a retired San Jose cop who now works as head of security for a San Jose school district.

Public employees have thought strategically about retirement. Tech workers haven't. In twenty years this will be a big deal, particularly for techies in expensive metros who never even got as far as building up equity in a home.

Very situational. I've been making 2:00-2:30PM work for 25 years. Maybe it's different in shops primarily filled with young people who show up late, work late, and have a philosophy of move-fast-and-break-things.
It's older than facebook, JPG and the idea of hiring programmers in India (1987).

You've neglected to mention which engineering discipline you're interested in. Civil? Electric? Mechanical?
Yeah I see what you mean. Maybe everyone will need to commute nocturnally once we're running everything on solar!
I agree with those points. It may not be best for Sketch (design software) I was more referring to the licensing model, to offset the high lifetime price, that may put off someone buying.
