Alma (co-op) | Software Engineers | Grenoble, French Alps, France | Onsite | Full-time | language: French

Alma was founded 41 years ago as an operation research company working on sheet nesting for CAM (have a look at the demo of our saas offer: https://demo.powernestlib.com/ ). Over the years Alma has been diversifying into other areas such as sheet cutting, 3D robots programming (e.g. for welding), IT services and health-care: https://www.alma.fr/en/

Alma is a cooperative: a new employee becomes an associate one year after joining. All shareholders are employees and at the shareholder meeting each associate has 1 vote (regardless of their seniority/capital).

You must speak French or be willing to learn it: English would be ok for technical discussions but less practical for coffe-break discussions, shareholders meetings, etc.
We may be able to help for visas.
Our offers (in French): https://recrutement.alma.fr/listeoffre.asp Please use this page to candidate to an offer, or contact rh AT alma.fr and mention that you are coming from HN.
Meanwhile, there are reasonable arguments that to at-risk individuals (the youth in particular) making things like this illegal is a near-certain way to draw their attention to it and make it even more exciting.

It's not a perfect comparison, but there was an interview given by Alice Cooper about city officials in London trying to prevent him from doing a concert there back in his earlier days. The amount of publicity and attention it got him only helped make him more of a success, and he subsequently sent nice flowers and cigars to two notable detractors involved to say thanks.

Well that 10% is highly unlikely to be evenly distributed amoungst the population. The percentage of those that smoke weed from a sample of university students is likely to be higher than the same sample taken from the age groups of 60yr old and above. You can make statistics say whatever you want, pretty sure I could get a pretty high percentage of weed usage if i limit my sample size to Bob Marley and Snoop Dogg.
I see them both as bad. Even before the pandemic, many criminal cases were taking 18 months to get to a jury trial in my area. Speedy trial my ass!

The issue I'm dealing with is just a summary offense. It would have been cheaper just to pay the $50 fine and avoid going to court. Unfortunately the trooper wrote it up wrong so we were forced to go to court, which costs way more ($300 fine + $100 court costs, not to mention time off, lost wages, certified postage, and mileage). It's pretty much the definition of a racket if costs more to defend your innocence than to just pay the fine. That's all they care about - the money.
I think the key takeaway from other countries that have implemented this is to treat addiction clinically, not criminally. This makes a lot of sense really, given the effects on the body. Ethical sourcing of drugs is another issue, and should be looked at through a legal lens.
This sounds fascinating and fun.
How we develop FDA-compliant machine learning algorithms
People are going to use drugs regardless of legality. There has been great harm to individuals from ingesting substances of questionable purity. Legalizing cannabis has allowed adults that choose to consume get consistent quality and avoid sketchy circumstances when purchasing.

As for society as a whole it costs less to help people that abuse drugs than it does to imprison all drug users. We should not punish adults for what they choose to put in their bodies on their own time.
> I worked in ad-tech for years, ultimately the convincing data is that people actually do click on ads. They do buy the products, and they do this more often than they would have had we not shown the ads at all (for some market segments).

This says nothing about whether ads are useful or beneficial to people. Buying a product does not mean the product was not a net loss for the customer, with the classic example being cigarettes.

> Europeans are fighting for similar reasons [...] by companies who have failed to pay their taxes again and again.

I get that it's trendy right now for elected non-technical bureaucrats to whine against tech giants. But if they are really avoiding taxes why not simply... charge them for that? Hint: They can't because all the taxation schemes used by these companies are legal. EU bureaucrats could simply write a tax code that makes them illegal but they won't!

All the whining also distracts peoples from asking themselves why European policies failed to grow a healthy growing tech ecosystem like in the US.
I like the concept of Solid, and proposed it to the BeWelcome community (who are running a hospitality exchange network like CouchSurfing, but free).

Although Solid is a better technical idea, I'm not sure how the migration from PHP/MySQL would work. Nobody on the Solid forum replied to my post asking about it. Another guy, Chagai, is pushing for Matrix and the fediverse. Ultimately, there's many great technical ideas, but the real solution doesn't lie in writing code - it's in building the community.

Therefore I'm trying harder to create more activity in BeWelcome's existing community (which is hard when nobody's travelling), like an online meetup every Thursday. If it gets critical mass, I believe it could be as widespread as Wikipedia or OpenStreetMap (which it models in org structure). I wish that Solid could be a part of it, but that requires active developers, and currently it's hard enough to find someone willing to make an API or native iOS app, never mind a breaking back-end change that people aren't asking for.

You are absolutely correct - perceiving censorship does not equate to being censored.

That said (IMO), there is a lot of abusive behavior on all sides - so the question becomes, is the treatment equal? It may just serve as a litmus test, at worst a false positive, to consider which side thinks they are being censored more. :)

Would you mind sharing details about the time someone was canceled for citing facts? I stay out of the popular culture loop so I likely missed it.
Just to make things clear, decriminalization is not legalization. Drugs are still illegal, and users risk a $100 fine, especially if they are uncooperative. The difference is that it is now a civil violation instead of a crime, so no record, no jail time, kind of like a parking ticket.

Drug trafficking is still a crime.
>It's hard to see behind immediate benefits. Those of us who can and do resist silly temptations, should be supported.

Very true, and this is why I am equally skeptical about the German determination to get this through, come hell or high water.
Yes, yes and yes!

I've always wondered why most developers (myself included) prefer to follow popular opinions instead of thinking by themselves.

This post just frames what I've experienced in two decades of working in IT.

Me and ADHD
Many drug addicts don't actually want to be drug addicts; they started off as drug users and then lost control.

Consider if alcohol was free; would you expect alcoholics to still want to enter rehab? I think the answer is quite obviously yes. I think it's a common error of reasoning to think that illegal drugs are very different to alcohol.
Great questions!

(1) As it stands today, you can already use https://vector.dev/docs/reference/sinks/prometheus_remote_wr... to write metrics directly to our Prometheus API. You can also use https://vector.dev/docs/reference/sinks/loki/ to send your logs to our Loki API. Vector is very cool in our opinion and we’d love to see if there is more we can do with it. What are your thoughts?

(2) As for cost, our super early experiments (https://opstrace.com/blog/pulling-cost-curtain-back) indicate that ingesting 1M active series with 18-month retention is less than $30 per day. It is a very important topic and we've already spent quite a bit of time on exploring this. Our goal is to be super transparent (something you don’t get with SaaS vendors like Datadog) by adding a system cost tab in the UI. Clearly, the cost depends on the specific configuration and use case, i.e. on parameters such as load profile, redundancy, and retention. A credible general answer would come in the shape of some kind of formula, involving some of these parameters -- and empirically derived from real-world observations (testing, testing, testing!). For now, it's fair to say that we're in the observation phase -- from here, we'll certainly do many optimizations specifically towards reducing cost, and we'll also focus on providing good recommendations (because as we all know cost is just one dimension in a trade-off space). We're definitely excited about the idea of providing users useful, direct insight into the cost (say, daily cost) of their specific, current Opstrace setup (observation is key!). We've talked a lot about "total cost of ownership" (TCO) in the team.

>hat's just not good reporting to try and spin that as a negative and Ignore the needed viability of that EV market.

There's nothing wrong with Tesla receiving credits, or even "counting" the credit dollars as profit. It's real cash coming in.

But when you are trying to analyze the financials of the company to determine a valuation, noticing that without the credits (whose accounting is opaque and which won't last forever) they lose money, is important.
If you have a CEO that keeps publicly lying and downplaying their actual issues, then yes, you do erode the trust.

None of what you describe is slave labour.

There are people in actual slavery all over the world and there is a world of difference between having a crap job or getting screwed out of money and being a slave.

And no, I’ve never worked in hospitality, but I’ve had my share of terrible jobs and I have friends that work in the industry.

I completely agree that most people in the industry are underpaid (especially in the US... it’s criminal the way servers are expected to live on tips).

But again, it’s not slave labour.

Maybe some compilation flags would solve issue? Last of last - maybe some other browser?
I deny these drugs are harmful.

It has been prohibition that has caused most of the harm.

People have problems. Often people who have problems get lost, in madness, in violence, in drugs. Stop blaming madness, violence and drugs.

The people who have problems need help from their community, quite often. It seems (from the outside) that in the USA community is being deprecated.

Most people who use drugs have fun. They do not come to any harm, so long as they do not get busted by police, or beaten by the crooks that sell the drugs.

Time to get the law out of it. Time to start being kind to each other. People with problems do not need to be punished, usually that does not help.

Legalising drugs will lead, probably, to better drugs. Powdered injectable heroin came about because it is the best way to market such a illegal product. In the nineteenth century opium was mostly used in tinctures.

In South America cocaine was traditionally used completely differently chewed with lime (?)

Prohibition has been a catastrophe for the victims and good on you Oregon for looking for a way out.
