wehkamp | Cloud Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Software Developer and more! | Zwolle, Netherlands | ONSITE | Full-time

Wehkamp is one of the biggest and oldest players in the online retail market in The Netherlands and with a large and varied catalog we serve millions of customers.

Our microservices and microsites are hosted using a variety of technology including Mesos, Lambda functions and systems like Kafka and Spark. We have been running containers in production for over 3 years, with orchestration systems like Terraform and Ansible to programmatically create our infrastructure. Most of our stack is built using Linux as a base OS with runtimes like nodejs, jvm and .NETCore CLR to run our workloads. You can find a lot of additional variations in operating systems and languages where and when it makes sense, like some cases where Windows, IIS and .NET was the best fit. We often automate ops workloads and event reactors in a number of our favourite utility languages like python and shell scripts, and Prometheus metrics are everywhere - something the SRE team is extremely happy with. Note: We have a lot of English-speaking colleagues at Wehkamp, so don't worry if you're not a proficient in Dutch.

We're looking for passionate engineers who feel at home around microservices, deployment pipelines, immutability and infrastructure-as-code and who feel comfortable talking Python and Bash. Or ones that simply want to join us on our adventures :)

Competition also drove the Soviets to get lots of their people killed because they cared more about hitting arbitrary deadlines to win the geopolitical dick-measuring contest than they did about safety or even accomplishing their goals.

(And before I get called out: Yes, I realize NASA got people killed for the same reason but the difference is seriously orders of magnitude. NASA's failures were publicized while the USSR's were covered up. Many cosmonauts perished and all records of them were removed, they were airbrushed out of photos, erased from official documents, etc. The world will never know their names.)

I did not mean 'where do I go to pick up the basics', I think I have those covered. But since there is a critique of this design and I actually rather like it I am wondering what specifically you would do different 'today' because of advances in technology. Obviously the whole thing would be mostly using SMD rather than hole through components and the display would be integrated rather than using an external scope but the design itself is what interests me.
It's too crowded for bikes too. People take the subway and then walk the last few blocks.
Considering Thunderbird uses XUL and JavaScript, it has all the same problems.
This narrative doesn't resonate with me. Forward looking statements are speculative, especially when you're innovating new technologies.

I personally trust Elon Musk and I am a large investor. I don't expect him to hit all his targets, but I trust him to only raise money on the heels of good news.
Holy damn that's bad! The bug's been open 10 years too!
Yet the point is that even when the numbers are absolutely clear cut and are more than relevant to medical decision making, doctors' training doesn't help them reason their way out of a wet paper bag. They're hopeless even when they're provided with a problem that has the equivalent of training wheels and handrails.

Seconded. There is a pretty active Apple 2 community out there who would definitely be interested.

My one question, given what we just read is, "What were the plans for the 1mhz system bus?"
vDISCO: Body clearing and imaging method
Thank you, that is the kind of answer that I was looking for.
A/C also uses battery, but heat uses more energy.

I can't speak for all cars, but mine uses a heat pump for heat. Should have similar efficiency to A/C as that is exactly what a heat pump is.
What a Student Loan 'Bubble' Bursting Might Look Like
Some EVs produce heat more efficiently using a heat pump, which is basically an A/C running backwards.
I second the use of tbsync and the activesync plugins. I switched to thunderbird with these plugins after trying out the exchange support with Evolution-ews. In my unscientific observations, my memory and cpu usage was a lot higher when using evolution when compared to thunderbird. Although to be fair evolution had really nice integration with "gnome online accounts", but in the end I found thunderbird was good enough for exchange with these two plugins.
Two Projects Aim to Predict Which Countries Have the Greatest Risk of Genocide
QR codes are fault tolerant enough that I was able to hand-draw (pen on paper) a 25x25 code as part of a christmas gift this year. I wasn't very precise either. For animation I think the main drawback is the slow speed of typical scanner apps.
By that definition would you call Firefox before version ~40 a javascript app? It obviously isn't despite using XUL and the elements implicit in that. The same is true of Thunderbird.
I presume green card holders are not hired either?
I feel like you're replying to a troll comment. Wasted energy. :D

Man, it's almost like we could suddenly afford to do a lot of big projects if we just nationalized healthcare and pensions so it wouldn't have to be factored into labor costs.
While fossil fuel vehicle prices to not account for the long term damage they do to an environment they get anything but a discount for causing pollution. There's thousands of dollars of equipment used to mitigate environmental impact that is included in the sticker price of every new fossil fuel vehicle.

Calling that a "discount for causing pollution" when their cost is increased by a need to reduce pollution is absurd.

Edit: Lol, down-voted for pointing out that ICE cars are not in fact discounted because they pollute more. The Reddit is strong here today.
I was hoping for someone to ask what is the first most successful EUD tool, but there's been no luck :-P
There are cold parts to the country, but a lot of the population lives in the South near the sea where the winter night time temperature doesn’t go much below zero Celsius.

And your vehicle is exposed to more moderated temperatures if parked indoors (even the pad of an unheated garage retains heat).

Plenty of parts of the US and Canada deal with much colder temperatures for months at a time.
That's it exactly. Unless Norway has some sort of autocratic dictatorship, the people are voting for representatives that support these measures.

Very much a signal.

They're not just mail order - the article wasn't clear, but perhaps that 1,400 number includes all of the people that work at their retail stores: https://www.warbyparker.com/retail

There are certainly enough of them that I'd imagine it bumps the numbers up quite a bit.
I love thunderbird because it's the only email client that does everything I want. I tried CLI clients, they are great and customizable, but CLI is a bit bare for email (images, html, fonts...)

Things I'd like to see improved:

- Native CardDAV and CalDAV support (there is caldav, but no discoverability of calendars).

- Native PGP.

- Better search, the UI is horrible and the search string is hard to get right (need fuzzy search and partial contact completion).

- A bit of UX work, some preferences are just a nightmare to find.

- Automation (auto tags, auto threading (for example, I get an order confirmation from webshop X, and a while after a shipping confirmation from webshop X, I want those to be grouped)).

- Improved storage engine, thunderbird is often freezing to compress folders.

- Critical bugd being fixed, like "imap"->"local folder" messages vanishing.
Not at all. They're great tools for understanding how intelligence is multidimensional. There are also math geniuses who are very untalented at music. That tells us something.
With such downvotes, I start to think electron hate is a cult.
Comscore and Nielsen are racing to become cross-platform measurement providers
Thanks, this was really confusing me for a while since their donation link points to Mozilla, but they have this text right on their application launch page: "Thunderbird is no longer funded by Mozilla."
None of the counties you mentioned use a higher percentage of nuclear power than the US. Russia plans to eventually hit 35% but unlike most of the rest of the world they can’t rely on cheap solar.

We already use nuclear power around the world, but to displace fossil fuels it needs to become cheaper without subsides.

Not just derivative, but relative change (derivative normalized by current value). There are transit systems on the east coast growing faster in absolute terms - they just have large existing systems so the relative growth is lower.

Why we built a company before building a product
Looks that way. Of course oil is used in the production of plastics and other useful materials as well.
Okay, I didn't realize they had retail stores, that makes more sense then.
For years and years Seattle and LA doubled down on a automobile oriented infrastructure system that clearly wasn't working, but voters finally gave up and got tired of it. Given that referendums are so difficult to win, especially ones that impose higher taxes, this is a commendable achievement.

Not mentioned is the other west coast success story, Vancouver, which has lead North America transit growth, with ridership up 5.7% in 2017. This has been driven by major government investments to drive expansion and improve services across the board. Additionally the system has not been hindered by ride share competition.

I recently finished my what I thought to be my first non-trivial programming class, and found this project to be a great opportunity to explore and apply the design patterns I learned in the course. As a result, the project is meant to be more academic and explorative in nature, but is somewhat useful.

Check it out, and please let me know of any constructive criticism or improvements!
q3 was also helped by the fact that, despite increasing the total amount of tesla's sold by ~66%, they opened only 1.1% new service centers and only 3.2% new superchargers. The tesla experience is going to be incredibly degraded as time goes by.
. . . I like riding the bus though. You get a window instead of being stuck in an underground tunnel. It's quieter than the train. And the drivers can actually make detours and improvise if there are problems.

The only issue is traffic, which dedicated lanes and automatic right of way takes care of. There is also the issue of having to wait outside in bad weather for it, but if you keep headways low that's not so bad if you're already committed to having to walk to the bus shelter.
This is going to sound really insensitive, but I've noticed that trendy VC-backed startups often hire people that they believe are smart, but who often turn out to be entitled and ineffective, and thus the company needs to hire more employees than is typical to get the job done.

I think there's also a tendency for people not spending their own money to chase absolute outcomes rather than Pareto outcomes. e.g. if an 85% solution costs $n, startups often spend $10n on the 100% solution. My guess is that if you're a founder spending your own money, you'd pick the 85% solution.
Yeah, this may the 3rd or 4th time I've said something along those lines in a HN thread he's active in over the last 10 years.

The sheet metal work in projects like this interests me. In the 1930s the new technology of the time was shortwave radio, so hobbyists built their own. Short Wave Craft was a magazine that supported this hobby- it's very much like Popular Electronics or Byte magazine. Always there were sheet metal plans included in the project. Here is an issue of it (pages 51 and 35 have typical chassis plans):

https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Short-Wave-Tele...

So did hobbyists have access to sheet metal brakes? Not really- they either use a vice and hammer, or bought pre-made chasses from a place called "Blan the Radio Man"- a store in NYC's old Radio Row:

Yeah, and it's better than that actually, in that the RIAA specifically said they weren't even pursuing the idea last year.
Most of the actual guts of Thunderbird are in mailnews/, particularly mailnews/base and mailnews/db for the this-is-what-eats-the-CPU things. That code is almost entirely in C++, although there is an effort to try to rewrite stuff in JS (which has gone slowly because, hey, that's 100KLOC of C++ you have to move at once).

Why is this dumb comment on every Mozilla post? It's starting to sound like FUD. Especially when the alternative is a browser engine whose development is dictated by an advertising company.
I live in a nice part of LA and I see as many iPace's as Teslas, and the iPace has only been available for about 3 months locally.

And the iPace owners are absolutely glowing in their reviews of the car in a way I've never heard Tesla owners get. Indeed--while most Tesla owners I know talk their heads off about the charging network[1], they tend to be defensive about the actual quality of the car itself in ways that luxury car buyers shouldn't be.

[1] While Tesla has a geographically large charging network, it's density is pretty horrible. In DTLA for example, you're 9 miles away from the closest Supercharger, and condo/apartment dwellers are SOL for installing their own unless they want to pay excessive fees to have one installed in their parking spot. There are a number of standard EV chargers through the downtown area, and the number of non-Tesla chargers exceeds the number of Tesla-only chargers by a factor of at least 10:1.

If you tax the alternatives high enough, every consumer choice can become the preferred one!
Nice! The one big problem with most visual programming paradigms is that they’re not abstraction resistant. Pane counteracts this through aggressive concretization, not by suppressing your expressively, but by showing all the concrete data flowing through it. The usage of data here is multiple folds:

- it serves as static, TDD-like documentation.

- it serves as reactive cells you can manipulate. Note that you can be wishy washy about the reactivity’s semantics here because it’s only used for example and quick-and-dirty explorations, not for runtime correctness of the program. Pragmatically speaking, this is crucial. Some of the future directions mentioned at the end might conflict with this and make the environment less appealing.

- it serves as a very convenient mechanism for defeating the double-edged sword that is program abstraction.

The pragmatism of this project gives me more hope than most of the cited references. Actually, I believe that the more you dive into these paradigms, the more pragmatic you need to stay in order to achieve success. This is intrinsically related to the fact that dimensionality reduction (part of un-abstracting a real-world software program) can only be 80% correct. Visual paradigms that enforce you into a black-and-white way of doing something don’t scale.

Kudo to the author for resisting the temptation of
Exploring some of the overly puristic directions! The polish definitely helps too. Some of the perf problems are beginning to show in the latter examples though.

Also, in terms of editing efficiency, this paradigm might work better on tablets, especially through some intuitive multitouch gestures. But then your audience decreases dramatically.

Text prediction is usually called "language modeling" in NLP. Because it's useful as a weak supervision signal to improve performance on other tasks, most of the mentioned libraries support it. However, they might not always provide complete examples, instead assuming that you know how to express the model and train it using the primitives provided by the library.

spaCy seems to focus on language analysis and I couldn't find an API that'd be directly usable for text generation.
I can't say this is the case here, but Warby Parker does have like a hundred retail outlets now. Frequently (as with Apple) journalists will just report the total number of employees including retail employees without breaking it down into categories. This obviously throws off a lot of weird numbers if not accounted for, which is part of what "public relations" is all about.

According to wikipedia they do manufacture their glasses in house now, and there are apparently 150 employees in that factory.
I worked on something very similar, my version also mutated punctuation and common phrases/words with synonyms and sentence re-ordering. Instead of steganography the purpose was to create identifiable mutations in text acting as a canary to tie disclosures back to specific recipients. Each party receiving a confidential document had slight mutations unique to their own document and given a copy/paste from a fairly small fragment(s) could be used to identify the owner of the version.
If Tesla was expecting 50% annualized growth, or even growth comparable to their recent historical trends, they would not have cut the price tag on every model of car they sell.
