Alloy | Full-Stack Software Engineer Berlin, Germany, 65 - 120k EUR | https://alloy.ai

At Alloy, we work with consumer goods companies that make the products we eat, wear, and use every day, as well as the ones we occasionally splurge on. We’re tackling a real and complex problem for brands: managing supply and demand in the face of constantly changing customer behavior. Our goal is to make products available where and when they are most needed.

Engineers at Alloy are tasked with solving the complex problems that supply chain data presents, while making it all seem simple and easy to the user. Whether you enjoy building data pipelines that process billions of data points per day, digging into the math of replenishment models, or creating an intuitive frontend experience, there is no shortage of challenging things to work on. We're looking to hire platform engineers to join our Vancouver team and an engineering lead to join our team in Berlin.

Our stack: Google Cloud Platform, Postgres, Python, modern Java, TypeScript, and React. We invest heavily in the growth and development of the team - you don't need to know these technologies upfront to succeed at Alloy.

We've raised over $15 million from leading investors, have rapidly growing revenue, and have secured large contracts from some of the world’s most recognisable brands like Ferrero, Melissa & Doug and Valvoline. If the problem sounds interesting, we’d love to tell you more.

>Purism shipped me a new motherboard at cost within a few days.

I wonder why they don't at least mark up the replacement? Or at cost means normal consumer cost and not BOM cost?

In the other end of spectrum Apple do these part swap with exact same margin as they do on a new devices + their labour.
Maybe because Deno folks are pragmatics and not fanatics.

Rust is faster than V8. I'm not sure if ALL Deno tooling is written in Rust, but it makes sense to write, say, Typescript => JavaScript converter in Rust if it's 10-100x faster.

All that tells you is that if you want a very fast Typescript => JavaScript converter then you too should use Rust (or Go or C++) and not JavaScript executed by V8.

But writing a web app?

You're free to use Rust for that as well but millions of people chose nodejs instead and those are the people that might choose Deno in the future.
Think of it this way, you have two choices:

1. You have a 0.0001% risk of death, and a 0.001% risk of hospitalization, and will maybe spread covid to 5-8 people. Long term effects unknown.

2. You have a 0.00001% risk of death, and a 0.0001% risk of hospitalization, and will maybe spread covid to 1-2 people. Long term effects unknown.

Which choice would you take?

(note the 2nd option is a conservative estimate of the effects of the vaccine, and the odds are probably less than what I wrote)
Well, in this case the OS vendor itself is an adware/spyware company.
I don't think so. Maybe if I had said, "when they release a dvorak keyboard I'm in!" but preferring AMD is not a super user ask.

There's also the issue of they missed the whole point of the product.
The hint is in the title of the article:

This is what us "tech people" do.
API development. People consider the performance of Node good enough, and they can use the same language for frontend and backend.
Finished testing it.

The markdown module works well as long as you don't use the fulleditor and the floateditor. But this creates an inconsistent user experience. I've decided to leave it out as a core feature for now.

I'll revisit it in the future. If I can fix it, great. If I can't, I might put it in with warnings that it doesn't work for the fulleditor and the floateditor.

IPCC Report – What Matters and Why
It's hard to get a job if you don't have a high school diploma. We feel bad for people who can't get jobs, so we make it easier to get a high school diploma.

Employers are not completely stupid, they notice the high school diploma is no longer signaling competency and start demanding university degrees for pretty basic jobs. We feel bad for people who can't get jobs, so we make it easier to get a university degree. You can see where this is headed.
that's now how evolution works. evolution tolerates enormous amounts of things that don't 'give advantage', and 'advantage' is a fairly subjective term anyway. Any number of possible events could have occurred to lead to the scenario we see. Population bottlenecks often lead to strange outcomes.
> There's no prestigious trade school that I'm aware of that produces consistently competent software developers.

MIT? At least, it was accused of being a trade school toward the beginning of its history:

> These reforms were largely a response to Walker's on-going defense of the Institute and its curriculum from outside accusations of overwork, poor writing, unapplicable skills, and status as a "mere" trade school.

These days, one might think of U Waterloo as filling the role of a prestigious trade school given the focus they put on their co-op program. Which I mean in a positive light, of course.
FB Messenger doesn't support custom stickers (that I'm aware of). If it does, please let me know!
Yeah, sure, technically any vendor can push updates to brick your device, but that doesn’t happen because of the law. This stuff often gets through because it’s small enough, gray enough, and done by smaller companies. Have Apple pull something like this and you’ll see on the NYT.

A destiny he never had a chance to shape at all.
That's correct: the BIOS was corrupt; the machine had no display at all, so no way to enter the BIOS menu or "boot" an OS.

Other Lenovo laptops have a recovery mode (Fn+R) where some bootstrapping firmware would flash a BIOS from USB, they neglected to include that feature in the (presumably lower cost) Flex lineup.

Some folks out of support went as far as desoldering the EPROM with the BIOS and hooking it up to a flash programmer, to get the laptop unbricked.

I realize they have a lot of different models and probably a limited test matrix, but it's still unforgivable to push a forced update that bricks the device to this level (and until that happened I didn't even know OEMs can push BIOS updates over Windows Update, probably because most of my machines are custom builds).

My biggest problem with using a VPN is the overtly hostile treatment by Google and Cloudflare.

Everytime I try to browse with a VPN (currently using Windscribe) I just see those nasty captchas everywhere. Google won't even let me do a simple search without letting me tag zebra crossings and school buses. Same with Cloudflare which also adds CAPTCHA before showing me a site which is basically most of the internet now.

Really don't understand why they do this to VPN users. Anyway, Anybody know how to fix this?
This didn't start with cyberpunk, though. In fact it is a hallmark of your average pulp-era SF story to abuse neologisms mercilessly (often in combination with Deus Ex Machina and other cliches).

The New Wave in the 70s consciously broke with the past by (among other efforts) eschewing neologisms, but writers (and editors) in other periods/subgenres have, generally, gone for a balanced approach.

> Whatever happened to specialized engineers - aka, craftsman - which you (as the stakeholder) hold on to for dear life, and pay _any_ price to keep?

I'm not entirely certain about this, but I would say that management decided they didn't want to be "held hostage" by such craftsmen.

Why pay ten times the price for a single developer, and be locked in to their presence and whims, while you can pay three times the price for three developers, and be able to manipulate them as desired?

Of course, I'm not saying that's the ideal approach. It has rendered software a buggy and disposable commodity, one that both the creator and the user expect to be of limited life, aesthetic quality, and use.

In software engineering, "survival of the fittest" rarely means what we would like it to mean, some beautifully crafted digital artifact that attains both immanence and permanence by the sheer force of pure virtue or something. It rather means "move fast and break things" on the back of a full stack of breakable and non-breakable things: from UX to, well, democracy, and including the well-being of the plug and play devs.

Therefore Java is better than Lisp in this regard, design patterns are preferred over macros and DSLs, and a replaceable pool of fresh-out-of-school programmer are favored over an irreplaceable tenured craftsman.

I (and you, and everyone of a similar bent) can certainly try and do "my bit", pour soul and art and craft into it to the limit of my abilities, and push these abilities to their next limits, by my deadlines are still going to be set by factors that don't consider craftsmanship a top driver, and I'll have to scrum alongside the other cogs to deliver and get paid on what is usually an internal proof of concept alpha christened a release on the basis of an arbitrarily chosen date.

Occasionally, however, I get to brush up against the ideal for a few fleeting moments; either in code, or in thought and conversation. A glimpse of the sublime through the keyhole.

But then it's time for a meeting, and a bunch of new tickets are -- ding-ding -- in my inbox. And, wouldn't you know it, that button now needs to be pink. Top priority, grab some coffee and get cracking, we need it yesterday.
Thanks for the comment. I see your point but I don't think it's a matter of definition. There is no doubt that the correct equation is Ek = mv². Since velocity v² = 2ad, it follows that mv² = 2mad = 2Fd. The work done is the acceleration of the body which is perfectly expressed in mv². The distance traveled is a result of the acceleration not the cause of it. Only the change in velocity matters. At least, that is my take on it.

I replaced an old Unifi AP with a TP Link EAP 245 v3 and its been running fine for 3 months.

They have some equally complicated to setup provisioning software like Ubiquiti (when you have just one device it's overkill), however you can actually configure everything on the device directly from the web interface, and no cloud required (I spent an hour trying to set it up before I realised this....).

It is classed AC1750, so the same as a UAP-AC-PRO which is around €150 here. I paid €95, so quite a bit cheaper. They also have some WiFi 6 (AX) devices, but I don't have any compatible clients so didn't bother with those.

Speaking from a buyer's perspective (I've managed about three penetration tests) they costed around 10-15k per person week-ish.

The cost can be adjusted depending on how experienced the testers are, timing (I need it now vs I need it next month), and how much time they are expected to spend writing up executive reviews. We always opted to just get a list of vulns and passed on the executive reviews as they tended to take up at least a whole day or so of the budget.

You can also save a lot of time by having a really well prepared dev system set up and ready to go for them. Getting someone familiar with your setup while also trying to sort out VPN access, GitHub permissions, etc... costs time and money, so doing that ahead of the engagement saved me about a day of budget.

You can get things that are a lot cheaper, but that's usually just going to be a newly hired tester running burp suite or some other automated testing tool. It's still worthwhile to do though if you haven't, an OWASP top 10-20 automated scan may cost less than $5k but still can be helpful/insightful if you want to reduce your risk surface area.
> For every 1x physical dollar on hand, I will create 8x-30x crypto dollars to lend out and earn interest

That's not how fractional reserve works. Banks are money multipliers because loans are deposited again. Eg one person saves $100, someone borrows $95 - then deposits it again, so the bank can make a new loan of $90 etc etc
ASK HN: What book (by any author, and from any era) stands out to you that does what Faulkner describes here?

“[Man] has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet’s, the writer’s, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past.”

The
const t = new Translation
was indeed a mistake in my example, since we are talking about static properties and not instance properties. But the point still stands, just remove "new" from that example and the same applies, the getter-based approach creates new objects each time.

> it seems more reasonable to me to freeze them upon definition or first use

I agree, and that's why I'd default to

static translations = {blah: things}

and not

static get translations() {
return {blah: things}
}

the latter does not "freeze" them

I had to do this recently on an old Dell XPS 9530 circa 2013.

It had been sitting in a cupboard for a good year or two and when powered on it produced no video output, or BIOS/POST screen. The backlight for the screen didn't even come on.

While it wasn't particularly easy to troubleshoot. I eventually managed to flash an uncorrupted version of the BIOS over USB and it's been working fine since.
The California community college system is like a hidden Easter Egg in a state that gets a lot of bad press for high rates of homelessness, poverty, etc. Not only is tuition low, some colleges readily take underage students, they have well developed transfer agreements and you can sometimes take classes like Latin through a California community college.
Makes me think of the common saying when comparing two writers: 'X tells a better story, but Y tells a story better.'
Gibson is pretty deep in the 'tells a story better' category.
While an interesting thought experiment, no one is proposing that you will get self-assembly of an organism by expressing 10,000 genes. We really don't know what the beginning steps of this process were - since it only happened once (or however many times life arose). Once an organism was made, now it can just express whatever proteins it currently needs, based on lifecycle/nutrients/metabolic requirements/etc.
Yeahh except for the fact historically the west have been developing technologies and social ideologies which are ultimately adopted by other 'civilizations' for millenia. For what counts, they have always been on top, and will be for the forseeable future. other civilizations are still playing catch-up and have social structures which inhibit development, as for china, its delusion of being the centre of the world is what is making them set such arrogant, unreasonable trade terms.
One guy is in it to change the world. The other guy is in it to enslave it. I understand Bozo's MO. He wants access to 100's of billions of Tax Payer money over the decades for himself and his cohorts.
Why jump to an assumption that there's a dark profit motive here? Isn't that what has led to people clinging to snake oil miracle cures like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin?

Certainly there was never any profit motive for anyone (except maybe Amazon and Uber Eats) when people were encouraging to stay home, or wear improvised masks.

In any case, there is lots of study going on in this area— it's not like Pfizer and friends have somehow squelched research into it, particularly when the makers of the other drugs under investigation stand to make a giant windfall from a successful result:

Yes it's endemic and we're all just going to get it now. But getting it is much, much less bad for the vaccinated than the unvaccinated, and at least as a parent of young kids, I know I won't be rushing them out to a pox party until there's an approved vaccine they can take first in order to prepare.

Allotments and similar systems are often meant to provide space for people to grow food or just do hobbyist gardening. If you were allowed to build and live on them legally the people meant to use them would be competing with home land prices. It's basically zoning or declaring a park.
Thanks so much for this. I didn't have a scooby.
The university I went to had an option for the required math course that all students had to take--there was one "self paced" version of the class you could select. You did eveything yourself, and took all the tests for the class at your own pace. You still had to take about 6 or so tests, but you could use it to "test out." I'm not great at math, but this was basic algebra. I took all 6 tests in a row in a single day, and passed the class.

Fern Creek Software | Louisville KY | 100% Remote

Fern Creek is a software consulting company. We build stuff for other people, usually in .NET on Azure but we do other stuff occasionally. The company has been around since I started consulting independently about 20 years ago. Recently I started taking on larger projects that need more people and as a result, started hiring people. Sometimes a 1099, sometimes W2.

This is not super sexy stuff where you will get options that might be worth millions, but likely worth nothing. What you will get is a load of experience on new tech (asp.net core, azure, blazor etc) and a great focus on the best feature of all...shipping.

The job is remote so you don't have to be in Louisville though if you are close that is cool.

Set your own hours and all that, I want pros not people that need babysitting.

3 openings right now... -Full stack dev (C#, asp.net core, sql server etc)

-DevOps/Automation/QA dev (unit testing, selenium, azure devops)

-Mobile dev (Xamarin, React Native)

Live the stress free life, work from home, build some cool tech, make money, be happy etc etc.

> Sometimes 'funding the change you want to see' is merely to appease your own conscience; some real problems are systemic or caused by other actors.

Indeed, there is no point in having individuals resisting the system, rather changing the system itself would bring forth the systemic change we want.

Probably better to have legislations such as GDPR in place rather than people having to install a bunch of privacy extensions in their browsers.
I don't agree with the article, but hold on -- you don't need to buy "intelligence -> soul" for this.

There are plenty of things that can't (or can't efficiently) be represented in a single agent.

This is (for example) Hayek's main critique of central planning: "[price] understanding cannot occur in an isolated computation or behavior"; there are simply too many necessary details to fit into any one head/computer, and therefore we should prefer markets. (Markets being definitionally not located in any one isolated computation/behavior, but inter-agentially in lots of them.)

Yeah, I agree. I actually think that labels are a much better fit for this reference.

> Instead, Kubernetes annotations are meant for sharing information with other colleagues. For example, you may use an annotation to record the phone number of the person responsible for a pod

But it can be super helpful to put owner/contact info for alerting purposes as teams scale.

I also agree that having this metadata on the controller is helpful.
