Tray.io | London | System / Backend / Frontend / Engineering Manager | Full-time | Onsite | https://tray.io

We're creating a general purpose automation platform which pushes the boundaries of serverless technology. We allow for anyone, through our intuitive visual workflow builder, to connect their entire cloud stack. No dev resources required.

We are privileged and proud to announce the closing of a $37M Series B funding round. In the past 12 months, we’ve increased our customer count 400%, our annual recurring revenue (ARR) 450% and the size of our team 500% and we are continuing to grow and help business users harness the complete power of their cloud stack without the need for development resource and looking for excellent engineers to help us! Read about our Funding round here: https://tcrn.ch/2vtf4wi

We’re small and dynamic, open to new ideas and the work you do now will have a big impact on shaping how we grow and fine-tune our highly performant multi-billion transaction platform for years to come.

There’s an app out there for everything but most cloud software services are distinctively difficult to use together, and doing so is very labour intensive. With our cutting-edge platform, processes that took hours, or even days, can now happen in seconds.

Customers like Reddit, NPM, Digital Ocean, GitHub, Lyft, and IBM are already reinventing how they work through Tray. Help us usher in the era of automation.

As long as you think "everything is already there" you won't create content.

Quite simply, what do you offer that is unique? Everyone has that thing, find your thing and talk about that.

Intersections are often a great place to start. For example, a carpenter who also is a computer vision engineer and integrates those things. Take two skills you have, slam them together and lean into that.
How about getting rid of those bloodthirsty decision makers, and in the meantime not supporting their violent rampaging.
Review: Azul, board game of the year? (2018)
When posts mentioning obesity crop up on HN, some people advocate personal responsibility to prevent your own obesity (taking the individualistic position) and some people argue that it is a society-wide problem, where changes in our culture have caused this problem to expand over time (taking the social position).

The synthesis of these two ideas: It's easier to get fat than ever before, so you are even more responsible to avoid it than ever.

Camille Paglia Can't Say That
On the other hand, at least the American supplier was fined and someone went to prison. Fraudulent Chinese suppliers routinely escape justice altogether because they largely operate outside of US jurisdiction.

That's all true, but it depends completely on the cost. Fuel is a fungible good: one barrel of, say diesel, is equivalent to any other (assuming they're the same "grade", etc.).

Stockpiling a barrel of fuel pulled from the air is the same as stockpiling a barrel of fuel dug out of the ground (assuming it would otherwise have been burned): both result in 1 barrel-of-fuel-worth of CO2 in a stockpile rather than the atmosphere.

It takes a lot of energy to extract fuel out of the air, so buying a barrel of fuel-from-the-ground is currently cheaper. Hence we can stockpile more of it for the same cost, and have a bigger effect on the climate.

We can go even further: fuel-from-the-ground was already stockpiled, as fuel-in-the-ground. Locating, extracting and refining it takes a lot of energy, so buying a barrel of fuel-in-the-ground and leaving it alone is much cheaper than buying fuel-from-the-ground or fuel-from-the-air. It's also has lower maintenance costs.

Activities like carbon sequestering or extracting fuel from the atmosphere are nothing more (or less) than methods for redistributing energy and costs.

This redistribution is useful for those cases where fuel is a necessity, e.g. jumbo jets. Extracting that fuel from the atmosphere using renewable power (carbon negative) would allow jumbo jets (carbon positive) to be overall carbon neutral. From a cost and energy perspective that would be hugely inefficient compared to simply powering the planes with renewable energy directly; the only reason it should be taken seriously at all is because electric jumbos are not an option (and won't be for a long time, due to physics, battery chemistry, etc.).

In any situation where renewable is a viable option (e.g. electricity grids, cars, etc.) then these redistribution schemes make no sense. Every step in a process loses some efficiency; since the whole point is to reduce atmospheric CO2, and atmospheric CO2 depends on energy usage, introducing inefficiencies to "clear our conscience" is counter productive.

Of course there are some nuances. For example, it might make sense to have nuclear plants pulling fuel out of the air for stockpiling (nuclear works best with a steady demand). We could think of this as plundering the nuclear fuel of future generations (the energy we leave in our stockpiled fuel won't match that of the nuclear fuel used to make it, due to inefficiencies). This may be desirable, if it's cheaper to spend that fuel fixing our climate mess now, than it would be for those generations to fix it themselves if we burden them with it.

(Note that burning any of that nuclear-aquired fuel-from-the-air also makes no sense if we could have just used the nuclear power directly)

Dstillery | Backend Senior Software Engineer | New York City (NYC) | Onsite | Full time | https://dstillery.com/

We're seeking a quality-focused Senior Software Engineer who wants to learn about large systems and how hard problems related to scale are solved. We currently handle over 100 billion events per day and need someone who can help us handle billions more. We're still pretty small on the engineering team, and everyone gets their hands dirty and makes a real impact.

In addition to gaining deep experience with developing systems at scale, you'll work with a world-class data science team (winners of multiple KDD Best Paper and other awards) that keeps us on the cutting edge of machine learning research. You'll gain direct exposure to the ins and outs of the rapidly growing and evolving adtech industry.

We place a high value on maintaining a good work-life balance, avoiding grinds and focusing on getting things done rather than putting in long hours. A bunch of us play ultimate frisbee or soccer on Fridays, and we have regular dev seminars and lunch-and-learns to talk tech and learn from each other.

Required Technical Skills:

* 4+ Years of professional experience in Java.

* Experience building and owning, high volume, high availability distributed systems

* Knowledge of building and consuming RESTful services

* Experience with SQL and relational database design

* Write high-quality code using modern best practices
One or more of the following is considered a huge plus:

* Previous adtech or martech industry experience

* You’ve worked with: Kafka, Cassandra, Hadoop, Hive, Spark, or similar technologies

* Experience developing ETL pipelines.

* Experience with Javascript frameworks/HTML/CSS

* Knowledge of Machine Learning, Distributed Systems or Big Data.

* Exposure to CI / CD (with either Docker, Kubernetes, SaltStack or Jenkins)

If this interests you, you can apply here!

I like the principles that you outlined about balancing automation with repeatable human processes. But you lost me at writing your own config management system.

That seems at odds with rule number 3 because sysadmins must have fundamental understanding of the systems/network/OS, in-depth knowledge of your custom homegrown config manager and the language it's implemented in in order to debug.

Happy to hear it works for you though. Personally I'm willing to accept the shortcomings of an existing config management system like Ansible because it's a system that is already understood by a large percentage of sysadmins and the core program does not require any maintenance time/effort from my team.

Calling Murray a "nutjob" is not conducive to a well-informed discussion about touchy subjects. His last summary of the Skripal case is [1], and while certainly controversial, hardly a "nutjob".

He was removed from his ambassadorship to Uzbekistan because he protested against human rights violations in Uzbekistan. This may not be what an ambassador should do, but displays integrity.

Yeah, the cost-value benefit of learning touch typing will vastly eclipse the cost-value benefit of learning intermediate vim, that's for sure.

I know there will be comments saying that individual action is not enough to combat climate change, or that it's too late for that, but when governments are so slow to act and corporations will only change when their bottom line is at stake, it is left to individuals to take action. Going vegan is simply the right thing to do at this point.

> There's intense political pressure to not punish shareholders for management's misdeeds

Rightly so, IMO. I invest almost exclusively in index funds, which means there's a good chance I'm a shareholder and don't even know it. I like to think that it wouldn't make sense for me to be held responsible.
> Half of the time, PPAs don't work

I don't believe this, and I suspect you're doing something unorthodox with your apt sources (it wouldn't be the first time I hear a story like this).

PPAs build from source on a vanilla platform for the given configuration, so they're guaranteed to have standard output (binaries etc.) and dependencies. When there is a problem with a certain configuration, such build won't be available to the user.

Can you list the PPAs that don't work?

Do most hospitals run billing systems supplied by Oracle? That would explain this "size-'em up" pricing strategy...
That's not at all what the article shows.
Yup, wikipedia already maps all human knowledge. In fact , you don't need to map everything, just central concepts in every field. I think there's a law of diminishing returns - summaries of knowledge are extremely useful, but as you add more and more detail , there's less and less benefit.

I created 'Wikipedia-Prime', a series of 27 wiki-books mapping all central concepts in all fields of human knowledge. Approx. 16 700 articles was enough to capture all the central concepts used by experts in all fields.

The History of Remote Work (Infographic)
I have run joelx.com for 12 years now and have thousands of posts. As social media sites have come and gone, this site has remained. I sometimes will copy and paste a social media post onto my site or vice versa. I think when you have all your ideas and memories in one place, it becomes very powerful. I like to take a trip down memory lane once in a while and see what I was thinking or working on a decade ago.
Location: Somewhere in the Atlantic Rainforest, Bahia, Brazil

Remote: Yes, quite

Willing to relocate: Not immediately

Skills: DevOps, reliability engineering, Linux system admin, SQL db admin

Technologies: Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Chef

Programming: strong Python, Perl, C, some Ruby, Clojure, Go

Resumé/CV: on request

Email: jurgen at botz.org

A long time ago, in a Silicon Valley far away, I was a hotshot IT/Ops engineer, manager, and even director, at several high-profile startups. Then I moved to Brazil and here I've been planting trees and raising chickens and practicing permaculture. I did keep a toe in tech and I have a really good Internet connection thanks to a 20m antenna tower I built myself. Now I have "saudade" for being a hacker, and I also need an income. So I've been polishing up my skills for a while, and I think I'm ready to go!

Although located in Brazil, I am an EU citizen and have an address and bank account in Germany, which may facilitate hiring.

That's at least 7 internal people -- probably more -- plus a pricey contractor, for 5 months. I wonder how much that cost? Sure, Red Hat's 2018 revenue was $3 billion, and this probably "only" cost a few million, but does anyone else find this slightly absurd?
