Stacker (YC S20) Is Hiring a VP of Engineering
Stacker (YC S20) | Full-time | VP of Engineering | 100% REMOTE (limited to Europe!)

We're on a mission to let anyone create software, by building a platform to let you instantly create apps from the data you already have. We want to change the way software is built. That's a pretty big task, and we've got some exciting problems.

If you're an experienced VP of Engineering, come and talk to us about how we're building a platform that lets customers run rich, flexible apps, all built without code.

You'll be leading all engineering related activities, including product development, hiring and management, bringing direction and refinement to our technology as we work towards enterprise level reliability.

We expect you to have experience of scaling teams in product focussed organisations, a technology orientated mindset and proven ability in driving positive engineering culture change.

Our stack is a React frontend, Python backend. Postgres, Memcached, Elasticsearch and everything running on Docker/Kubernetes.

We're a fully remote team of 15 people, with ambitious growth and product plans! Post-pandemic we'll be meeting up in person every few months for social activities and further collaboration opportunities.

Well-designed survey results are objective and reproducible. There are margins of error as with all measurements, and maybe these margins are wider than in some fields and narrower than in others, but asking people for their opinions isn't necessarily bad science just because it happens to involve opinions.
Wouldn't it be cheaper and better for the environment to buy some land off Germany or Sweden? Once the deal is sealed, they could start building the city the very next day.
Github search also often does the trick.

When private organizations in their internal culture and functioning deviate too far away from common social norms, you kinda hope that a whistleblower or the press calls them out for it.
Big companies are the same, that problem isn't restricted to the private sector.
But that's not the reason and wouldn't be true.

There's another aspect too: I try to avoid being a bloodless ghoul in communicating with this community. People here don't want stiff corporate pantomimes, and that suits me fine, because I would hate to do that; or rather I can't because my body would reject it. That's an old Willie Brown line btw.
These issues go way back to the dawn of books...

But yet I could be persecuted for following a genuine intellectual path!
Vaccination is positive for society as well, but when this took place in mid-March it was definitely a selfish activity.

It's not like voting - you voting doesn't prevent me from voting.

Obviously, too many rules is bad. And too few rules are. And, just like voting, this site did not require ID because it would have harmed their ability to help an underserved population. It used the honor system. The people we're talking about violated that.
> The idea of including a C++ and a C compiler gratis is brilliant, and solves a big interoperability headache very elegantly.

C++ did it first, having been born at same place as UNIX and C, all major C compiler vendors quickly added it into the box.

The fact someone got out a bunch of chemistry textbooks doesn't mean they should be investigated for bomb making...?
You should place an "Only a Sith deal in absolutes" in there...

I'm a Christian and have no problem with Atheist's or what have you. There's a strong chance that there isn't a heaven/hell/72 virgins/what have you waiting "on the other side". I can still be confident in the tactile important parts (IE: Do unto others, love they neighbor, etc) without having my worldview destroyed by a "might" or a "maybe".

It amazes me when someone can say with 100% confidence that it does or doesn't exist.
Of course if you include the option of fleeing to another country where there are more jobs and opportunity, it's real easy to create a successful welfare state. This is always how leftist politics work, there's always some external funding or circumstance that plays the biggest part of the success, but attribute the success to how perfectly they can divide the profits, ignoring where they actually came from. But when you have to cover all your expenses by robbing collective pete, it doesn't really add up anymore.

Sooner or later you run out of other people's money, and then you have to create more incentives for people to work, to take advantage of your own strong people to create the value, and that comes with more "inequality", and requires you to compromise on the welfare.

I'm convinced that a country that cannot attract hard working highly educated people will struggle to be successful in the global economy, and the way forward is to educate people to become more self sufficient and independent, and not to continue with patronising welfare politics that were made for a post war booming economy.
It needs a cool name too; the VisorShatter breach.

Then they would have to exit that market and I don't know about you but if I'm a shareholder in MSFT, losing on the 3rd biggest market in the world with massive growth potential doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
Ask HN: Do you believe in the efficacy of HN's voting system?
(a) Unless I'm mistaken, there are three tweets. Three.

(b) Can you use curl? Maybe hit the API.

(c) The modern web DOES require JavaScript. Sure, I'm not clear on what that has to do with reading three tweets available on a public API, but it's pretty weird to object to a declarative statement of truth.
VMBeware.com is available and a nice catchy name for a VMWare bug IMHO. Please cite me if you use it :)
“Just deal with it” is problematic for adoption. Python being an excellent example, looking at Python 2.7. IPv6 being another one.

If firewall changes are necessary for HTTP/3 to be adopted (eg connection tracking in routers may not work anymore), that can cause big problems in adoption.
A lot of justifications. Would it really be to much to ask to just play nice instead of first coming up with a scheme to exploit users. Then trying to figure out how to stay within the law. And then finally, go out of your way on the internet to justify your behavior?
And what if it's a domestic company that is destroying those people's privacy and a foreign government that is using this to prosecute them?

Should we avoid preventing further damage that the domestic company is doing? Or should we limit ourselves to dealing with the issue diplomatically, and not do anything else for fear of "looking at the wrong problem"?

I don't understand why you'd seriously suggest that reducing the likelihood of known harm (by ensuring some level of privacy) is the wrong thing to think about when it doesn't prevent other actions from being taken too. It's possible for groups of people to do different things at the same time, after all.

Ultimately, your argument will never result in a situation where privacy is taken seriously because you could substitute in any issue and your conclusion could just as easily be that "better privacy is looking at the wrong problem."

Ask HN: What tech has more demand on freelancing?
Hello all.

I've a mix profile: senior Data Scientist on my day job, self-tought web dev on my spare time.
Now, after many years being employed I'd love to start freelancing but I feel I need to specialize on something to become more sellable.

My skillset looks like this:
- Data analysis (high)
- Data visualization (high)
- Data engineering (mid)
- Machine learning (mid)
- Frontend (low)
- Backend (low)

I'm more experienced on the data part but also I believe it's more challenging to create a healthy client funnel.

Options I see:

A) Data Science track - discarded for freelancing

B) Data engineering track - get some certifications on Big Query or Looker to become an expert

C) Front-end - what has more demand as a freelance?

D) Back-end - what has more demand as a freelance?

I'm really open to learn anything until mastering, but I don't know what.

I'm currently valued at my day job and quiting to start as an entry-freelance on something that I'm not proficient (yet) scares me. But at the same time I'm not sure I'd enjoy a data analysis job as a freelance.

Another thing that scare me about the "web track" is the amount of different technologies out there. How can I compete agains other freelancers with a huge list of libraries and APIs? Is that critical to land a freelance job?

What would you do in my situation?
Where there is more demand?
maybe an agile consultant? :)
True, but also does RAII for heap allocated objects unless one makes use of smart pointers.

Outside HN, CppCon and C++Now bubbles not all C++ codebases are as clean as we would wish them to be.
1. Learn something, be really good at it. Have demonstrable experience in that thing.

2. Learn a handful of things a little bit less well. Diversify your learnings. Some database stuff, some devops stuff, maybe some game stuff, network stuff, whatever. Try to have demonstrable experience in this stuff well.

3. In 3-5 years, repeat step 1 and 2.

Do this over and over and you'll be competitive in tech indefinitely. It doesn't really matter what you pick to be good at or care about, something current (but not bleeding edge), and then dabble in a bunch of other current technologies and tools.

In general, don't worry about things like project management. Every company bastardizes any written practice, and every company is very different. Just do what your employer does, and then if you find a new employer, do what they do. Maybe have some opinions and reflect on what you liked and didn't like, because employers might pretend to care what you think about processes and improvements, but it's really all just buzzword nonsense. Regardless of what you pretend, it's all going to go how it's going to go.

r.e. "metas" - Play around with stuff. Spend some time reading about TDD, maybe give it a shot every now and then. Understand why it's good and understand why it's bad. Stay away from "never"s and "always"s.

As I write this, I realize you're already doing half of what I'm suggesting, which is just to pay attention to the industry and the comings and goings of tech/tools. The other half is to learn and get interested in various pieces of tech. If it feels "cumbersome", it might just not be the right career path for you. That's totally okay - the work you're doing now is totally fine! Do what you like. Don't force stuff you don't like. Most of the successful programmers I know think that toying with a new language or tool is fun/interesting. It doesn't feel cumbersome because it's both a job and a hobby.
They’re in criminal mode in the US depending on the store location. 2 Safeway’s about a 10 minute drive from each other have opposite policies, also the more poor the area the less likely to have self checkout at all
In that case Russia also loses access to EU airspace.
I live in South Africa. DeGroot and his ilk were nothing like "woke". They were monsters that dehumanized citizens and murdered with impunity. You should know that, which makes your comment suspect.
> Also, "what I wrote" is just a small script to extend my previous setup (which used PostgreSQL) to replicae.

I wouldn't discount your work, etcd is very stable, so it probably works very well for your use case.

As for using Cockroachdb, I guess it depends on your use cases: with what you have now, it seems like local reads are able to read stale data (someone updates x at the leader, while you read locally), but it might not be a problem for Nest. Cockroach will always try to read the latest version of the data, so unless you need serializability, the cost of switching might not be worth it.
Sometimes, you just can't bottle it. There really was only one go at being Elvis, or Pavarotti.

If there is a secret, it's independent university research with tenure and permission to fail, and to report back information openly. If you want IPR it's not DARPA.

Mostly, people want the DARPA outcome without the cost side and with a fat paycheck at the end for the backers.
What time do you go to bed?
I didn't think I was being particularly subtle, though it seems I may have buried the lede.
> Reduce, immediately, the number of product combinations.

IMO this isn’t a good conclusion to reach and isn’t lean - sure bringing down combinations makes things more efficient but it impacts the customer offer.

The article takes it for granted that having thousands of combinations is inherently unmanageable - but look at where lean came from - the auto industry where each car has thousands of combinations and is much more complex than adding a pump of vanilla to a hot drink.

A generic coffee isn’t the product Starbucks is selling - they are selling the exact coffee you want, made perfectly for you.
Why do you prefer USDC to GUSD? They both seem to be 1:1 backed centralised stablecoins, just the Winklebros version hasn’t taken off the same way
What Haskell does and other statically compiled languages is figuring the type before program runs. Once it does it is impossible to have a different type in the code.

Python is dynamically typed. That means everything including things like string or integer is stored as a structure with a type. The checking of the type happens at runtime. This is major reason why languages like Python are so much slower than statically typed languages.

The annotated type in Python is providing mechanism of figuring out types before code is run, this helps finding bugs, but these types are not used during normal operation[1], but that doesn't stop them from being useful for finding bugs in the code or helping with refactoring.

[1] There are some packages that implement some runtime checks, but they IMO are waste of time. Basically they are ensuring that type problems that tool like mypy would detect also will cause your code to crash. It also add performance penalty as well.

There's also mypyc, code that compiles python code that using types increasing its performance. It is currently used to compile mypy increasing its performance by a factor of 4 I believe. It also makes some python features unavailable if you want to use it (https://mypyc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/differences_from_pyth...)
I'm saying that I think past and present day "specialists" are not as different as we are inclined to think, it's the opposite of a motte-and-bailey position.
What if btc value drops to 20. You are out for 80usd..
I’m not looking at this from the perspective of law, I’m looking at it from the perspective of judgment that’s partly secret and unknowable.

HN already has a reputation for skewed moderation (certain sites are pre-banned, posting them pre-flags subsequent posts). Making it explicitly something exceptional without any way for people to know what the exception is... again creates a separate set of rules and a basis for people to air unfounded objections.

If HN wants to be Fight Club fine but I’m happy to be on record opposing that so long as I can.
The problem isn't "woke college kids"... it's intolerance way PAST the point of intolerance. Racism in the name of fighting racism. Hate in the name of love.

It's the religious fervor by the Woke Crusaders who are willing to burn, pillage, destroy, kill in the name of "Diversity, Equity, Inclusion" - and destroying justice, REAL equality and our collective future.
Having worked retail stores, you really underestimate how little time you have as any individual to get your shit done and also help customers. That gaggle may be them deciding how to make the store look right with only 4 people when normally it’d take 8.

If you want good customer service go somewhere they dont cut corners on staffing while paying the heroes that have to do 3 people’s jobs minimum wage.

I wasn’t objecting to playing it by ear. I was objecting to committing to doing so and keeping it arbitrary.

Edit so I can hopefully make the spirit of my own complaint more clear: my puppy is defiant and stubborn and clever and a big doofus. Rules are a living document and they get revised all the time. If I communicate them and my expectations we grow together and move on to the next misunderstanding with some grace and patience. If I just decide that the rules change without saying what they are, I’m setting my pup up for failure and myself up for her resentment and an inclination to impose more strictness that she won’t understand.

I think we are probably eons apart on the meanings of the words “solid”, “stable”, and “established” here.
I know very little about what actually happens post-draft, but I’ll admit that many superstar players seem to add supraphysiological muscle mass over their careers.
Does the proxy implementation pattern used in this contract actually mean that the owner of the corresponding keys can not only block addresses from holding USDC, but actually swap out the entire implementation, e.g. for one implementing transaction or inactivity fees?
That quote was from someone at the office of emergency services, not the pastor. And the workers at the vaccine we’re telling people it was open to everyone 18+.

Yes, this seems relatively little to me, given the age of the (more commented) results and current controversy on the topic.
Amazon Buys MGM Today Looks to Deal Weed Tomorrow
But anyone take notice of what Amazon announced this week? A move that could perhaps catapult the company to the forefront of a dope sized market. A move that, in the end, could make this MGM deal look like a puny dime-bag when compared to the forest of sticky green dollars Amazon is looking to roll up.
This is to protect the local port for the capital of the country, particularly during large storms. Buying land inland along the border would not accomplish this protection task.
Woke ideology is steeped in fundamentalism and it seems to have filled the void where religion used to be.

Now that's a useful insight. Needs more thought before replying further.
Ummm how exactly would banks give you 900m for 100m in collateral?! Can you make an example?
I've done this as an adult. They got mad but I just ignored it and said "are you going to check me out" and they did.

Tangentially related. In college or football team would go to old country buffet. Which has a microphone in the wall to order more from the kitchen for the staff. One of our smart ass players went up and said "we need more fried chicken". The manager caught him and scolded him. Then looked at the buffet and said "make that two orders of fried chicken" in the mic.
For once I am happy that the EU made the right decision.

As a European who doesn’t think Europe has an ongoing skin color / racism problem, you’re signaling that you’ve never really thought about the proceeds of slavery and colonialism to finance, well, almost everything we associate with modern Europe. Especially ignorant if you’re French, British, Dutch, Belgian, Italian, and probably a few other extreme oppressors left off that list.

America has a lot of problems, but we TALK about them. Europe is at least 20 years behind the curve. You guys would be happy with pedophile priests if we hadn’t exposed them.
I think OP is talking about long-term holders while you are talking about traders.
Unfortunately, there's also a dearth of tech articles discussing how the many parts of web APIs work, and how they are implemented. High-level articles help with using them, but will always simplify things :)

It may just be the common perceptions of these jobs are so pervasive, it influences the worker's own assessment. It's certainly in character for the bureaucrats to consider their jobs to be important. Desensitized to petty politics and constant surveillance, they probably thought their answers would get back to their boss, and didn't want to appear redundant.
