Plasmic | Multiple Roles (Founding Developer Advocate, Head of Growth) | Remote | Full Time

Plasmic (https://www.plasmic.app) is a visual page/frontend builder that plugs into production codebases.

We are an early-stage startup with a tiny but wonderful distributed team of 8 from Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Dropbox, MIT, Berkeley, including 3 ex-founders with exits and 4 ICPC world finalists. We are well-funded by NEA and investors in Figma/Framer.

We already have paying customers including a Fortune 500. But it’s still early and we have many challenges ahead!

We are looking primarily for a Founding Developer Advocate to help us build a community of developers, especially in the React, headless commerce, and Jamstack spheres. Responsibilities include:

- Launching open-source projects and educational resources that are truly valuable to these communities.

- Participating in existing open-source communities and building relationships there.

- Creating example projects to showcase what you can build with our tools and API.

- Amplifying documentation, looking for the right examples, messaging and languages for audiences served.

- Writing articles, engaging on social media, recording screencast demos, and speaking at conferences.

If this sounds interesting, please get in touch at hiring+hn@plasmic.app. We would love to meet you!
Curious, when was the last time you were in downtown Seattle?
I agree it’s definitely not beef but I like it as it’s own thing.
Yes. Another reason is, Covid had polarized people. Not only health-wise about “the vax”, but also politically. Spending many more lonely hours during lockdowns, rehearsing thoughts, drip-fed by social media and news outlets, witnessing all the extreme behavior of “the other camp” (whichever camp you are in) did wonders in being disgusted of meddling again. With polarization, it’s difficult to meddle.

There’s a reason why social isolation is used as punishment, even in carceral locations. We’re just getting out of it at a societal level.
That doesn't entitle them to access to military systems, either individually or as a collective. And surely citizens of other countries are not entitled to access to military systems.
I work in finance, so I think the company knows perfectly well what they are doing. Ifs no coincidence they are taking advantage of people.
Could not agree more. Open plan offices are death to producitivity. They were fine when you had a massive pool of people doing mechanical bureaucracy but they are terrible for anyone doing anything creative or knowledge based.

They are also a major problem with hybrid offices: meetings/conference calls.

If everyone is in the office, you find a meeting room... no problem (assuming you can find one).

If everyone is remote, you all jump on a call... no problem.

When half the team are remote, and multiple teams are remote, you suddenly have way more calls in an open plan office, which is horrific.
I suppose we can play a semantic game, but it does not change the actual result does it? They could be called Albino Chickens for all I care.

Rare earths are rare on the market right now, because China managed to monopolize the market. To make it more amusing, extraction of those materials is not exactly easy on the environment, which makes it less likely that Western countries will allow it in their backyard.

With that out of the way what about my argument is wrong?
Their number was a result of a post WW2 boom. In China the boom was even more so since a lot more people were lost in the war, then the civil war, then the Korean war, and then famines in the 1950s.
In the examples given it sounds like ATC was doing things like directing aircraft in to restricted air space. Obviously the captain has final say and ATC’s role is officially just advisory. But this sounds like a bit more than a pilot who forgot how to navigate.
This seems sort of like trying to buy shoes/clothing on amazon right now.

The ratio of odd-made-up-word brands to "normal"/recognizable brands is going way up.
> He also said that privatization of small contractors to conduct routine maintenance had led to tighter schedules and an increase in small accidents. He wasn't confident the nuclear park was safe enough.

Yes, this is probably the biggest issue for nuclear, and the biggest safety risk.

Some contractors are good. If you work in software, you know what percentage of them are good, and from those, what percentage actually get shit done.

Was launching a car into space not marketing?
But...you're aware that record profits aren't a blank check to employ whoever you want in whatever positions they want, right?
I know a local Amazon director and he was spending a lot of time with recruiting, he had to hire a very large amount of people and that was his top measure for that year. Even paying above the market, with their reputation and the competition on the market it was difficult to meet the target.

It's worth noting that movements of the mouth are extremely important in ASL (and other sign languages) and so this probably isn't as useful as it might seem at first.
A browser extension is probably an easier way to extract text than OCR (unless you're targeting a wide range of sites, I suppose).
My problem is that all the tech I built experience with is obscure (Neoxam, FileNet). That's obviously in addition to my lack of faith in the system and being treated fairly.
> As I said tax doesn't pay for anything. The purpose...

already established your theory in the first comment, no need to waste a comment to repeat the exact same thing. Might be more helpful to use the comment to elaborate instead.

> government is overtaxing for the size of government they want... the purpose of tax is to release people to be hired by the public sector

This is the first time I hear this bizarre theory. If this is the case, there must be countless documents backing this, care to cite?
> They have big expansion plans and most of that is outside of California

You might want to tell Tesla that. They just added a ton of office space in Palo Alto: https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/10/08/tesla-agrees-to-big-o...
"and you can also do some antenna magic"

Just thinking about what that would involve. Very high gain antennas could track individual GPS satellites and probably defeat jammers. A phased array system (similar to Starlink's 'dishy', but probably larger due to the much lower frequency) might also work. Either solution would make many if not most uses of GPS either physically impractical and/or too costly.
Would you be ok with a commercial passenger flight operating with 1 of the 2 engines completely disabled? It's technically designed to fly with 1 engine, so what's the problem?

Knocking out a pilot's GPS gives them one less tool in the event that other instruments fail. It's like saying "shouldn't you always be ready for backup hydraulics to fail?". Taking a backup system offline isn't an ideal situation.
Once you get beyond a certain threshold that's not really true. Or it's a story they tell themselves because they care more about money than other considerations.
You forgot Opera. /s these days Opera feels like trying to rebrand its ecosystem into dozens of skins for the same Chromium. "Opera Gaming Browser"... srsly?

Sadly most of my favorite "tiny" browsers all have switched away from webkit and are either dead or an electron based UI now.

I'm concerned that libchromium is eating the world :-/
Beautiful Apple-1 Instruction
Well one possibility is that those fabs will simply be nationalized by the country that they are in.

That would be an effective economic retaliation against a country that invades someone else like that.
> All the replies to your comment seem like sales pitches that don't actually explain anything.

It's sort of hard to provide any other than "yes/no" to a question like "Is WG stable/reliable", right?

For most uses the answer is probably "yes" but there are use cases (I'm guessing around auth and middleboxes that do not like UDP) where the answer would be "no".

Management at my company just revealed their flex work plan and it’s a total joke. You have the ability to develop a plan with your manager, but you’re expected to work at least 8 hours a day and in
be in the office 2/3rds of the time - do the math and you’re over 3 days in the office, which leaves you with a day and a half of “flex” in your schedule - but then you can’t “flex” enough to be under 8 hours. On top of that if you live in another tax jurisdiction you are forbidden from working from home.
Alas no, just someone on those medications so I've done a lot of research in to them.
Tesla generally does not spend on external advertisement but they do spend money on marketing and the two shouldn't be conflated (the former being only part of the latter). In fact the article itself points out that "Tesla is a marketing machine". From their own social media presence, to blogs, to presence on influencer channels, to brand-referral programs, even Musk's role itself when facing the public is part of their marketing and Tesla certainly spends money and hires people for it. What they do not do is go through traditional, external, ad channels, they essentially manage their brand presence themselves, but they certainly do have one.
Personally, suspicion. The other two comments combined cover it: Discord does look at all your processes to see if you're playing games, and having not read the EULA but knowing how "free" apps that cost money to operate work, I assume they are doing some kind of analytics and selling that data.
One problem with strings though is that they might, in the parent post's case, have been editable somewhere. In that case a user (admin user, for example) can unknowingly break the relation.

A short string code though, only available from a lookup, for instance, might be acceptable. Since you already have a lookup though, put an int column in there and use the int.

Are they still taught to do NDB approaches? I thought that's been phased out, too. In fact I was told the other day that the US officially tuned off the NDBs? Does not apply to VORs then, but as you say, the fact that they get phased out more and more is concerning.
I didn’t find Tesla’s software particularly good. The overall UX in a new BMW IMHO is quite a bit better.

At the same time, it isn’t completely the software team’s fault that their UX is bad. Big touchscreen with no extra controls is naïve design.
I think the focus on "pure functions" is a bit Haskell-centric, as those are the guarantees that Haskell gives easily, but that's it. For example, Koka has total functions (https://koka-lang.github.io/koka/doc/book.html#why-effects), which gives more guarantees that pure functions. Lack of side effect is, I think, a side effect of searching for greater function composition. The goal of purity is to make functions easier to compose after all.

When you start a job, you are a noob from the perspective of processes, frameworks, paradigms, and current codebase.

You're most susceptible to intellectual bullying in this stage. It's really what makes switching jobs the worst part in programming: you look like an idiot no matter what the first week or two, and are completely at the mercy of your manager and team culture to sink or swim.

Add a new language as ammunition to be intellectually bullied? No thanks.
Why would they choose the less awesome experience?
Video editors (or at least Adobe Premiere) have similar problems: they ignore the timestamps entirely, and any clips you import into them will desynchronize unless you've either recorded them from a known-good source with a constant timebase, or re-encoded them at a constant frame rate.
The social contract is different here. You focus on the salary but most employees are considered fungible here by most employers with 'industry standard' as a synonym for 'sucks about as much as what we consider our competitors'. Due to the unique circumstances, employees in some industries finally have some ability to try to better their lot so it would be irrational of them to not avail themselves of likely a once-in-many-lifetimes opportunity before the iron fist of our corporate masters comes crashing down upon our spines again. Yes, I am old and cynical - how did you know :) ?
> In a healthy economy the profits of corporations are spent on more facilities, more suppliers, more employees, who all in turn spend their profits on the same.

Only if those investments will create more profit. If capital cannot be allocated effectively (i.e. a company that returns $1 for every extra dollar invested above current ability) then the profit should be returned to the shareholders.

> We have corporations that lose money every single day of their entire existence, but manage to drive their share prices by tax scams, accounting fraud, government subsidies, and share buybacks financed with debt the would not be available to them but for the existence of the scams, frauds, and government subsidies.

Sure there are companies like this.

> at the expense of a tax base they do not participate in so should logically be shut out of.

I mean, you shouldn't pay taxes if you lose money... Shareholders/employees still pay taxes here.

> When a corporation uses that money to buy back shares the money is effectively destroyed by being circulated among a financial class that has (mostly) bribed their way out of the tax system.

Say we have 100 shares of a company. The company makes $100 per year. Each of those shares own $1 per year of the company. If they company pays $50 to buy back 50 shares then each of the remaining shares owns $2 of that $100. I mean, the market still decides what the stocks are worth, but eventually most if not all stocks get valued fairly. How is the money being destroyed?

Again, if the company cannot invest the money profitably to make more money, it should return it to the owners of the company. Are you against private ownership?

> Hence, any money used for share buybacks should logically be treated as net income for the company in question's next filing.

Why?
Where I live high doses of cyproterone acetate have been used for chemical castration (>200mg), but at these levels there's a chance of developing benign brain tumours, so they try not to do this.

I think zolodex is also used in this manner, and it's more effective since it's a long-lasting implant rather than a daily pill.

In both cases they're not 100% effective, different people respond differently.
Probably worth mentioning that you aren’t safe if you hide out in some low-paying European job. Sooner or later the US/Chinese platform companies are going to come and eat your boss’ lunch

So you may as well come over and get a share of the spoils
People don't want to get covid. Getting close to large groups or new groups feels unsafe. Going out unnecessary feels socially unacceptable.
Nintendo throws rare bone to modern EU gamers via N64 60 Hz toggle
From the article:

>Monday's announcement confirms that European players will get a 60 Hz option by default for every N64 game in the Nintendo Switch Online "Expansion Pack" collection, along with the option to access a game's original 50 Hz version if it launched with multi-language support. Reading between the lines, we believe this means that if a European N64 game only had English language support, its Switch Online version will be the North American NTSC ROM.
> but the reality is that most people cut ties with their coworkers

I dislike this type of comment as it presumes that one person's personal experience is "reality" or a reasonable representation of what everyone else has experienced.

It assumes that something as complicated as personal relationships can be can be distilled down into some sort of "average" or "normal" protocol and that if your experience doesn't align, then you are an outlier, not-average, not-normal.

I don't think the concept of "average" or "normal" is particularly useful for something as multi-dimensional as establishing personal relationships.

Some of my longest and best friends are people I met in my first job after college.
A lot of core downtowns (whether financial district or something more diverse) were pretty dead pre-pandemic after hours even if nearby areas of the city were pretty lively.
Yes, but to avoid it, the employer must not have any employees in CO. The law applies for any position that can be done remotely, even if the employer does not intend to hire a CO resident, as long as the employer already has CO employees:

https://www.huschblackwell.com/newsandinsights/updated-faqs-...

>Under EPT Rule 4.3 (A), the promotion posting requirements do not apply to employees who are entirely outside of Colorado. However, if a Colorado employer has a promotion opportunity available anywhere in the company, even outside of Colorado, its Colorado employees must be notified. Under EPT Rule 4.3(B), job postings and promotional opportunities do not need to include compensation information if the job will be performed entirely outside of Colorado or if the job is posted entirely outside Colorado (i.e., not on the internet).

>INFO #9 instructs that the out-of-state exception applies “narrowly,” only where the job is tied to non-Colorado worksites (e.g., waitstaff at restaurants outside Colorado). Therefore, postings for remote positions that can be performed anywhere are subject to the EPEWA’s requirements, even if the posting states that Colorado applicants won’t be accepted. However, a non-Colorado job that may include “modest” travel to Colorado is still considered an out-of-state job not subject to the transparency requirements.
Or retreated to already known communities. I’ve spent far more time chatting with acquaintances this year than ever before.
I made the mvp, not public yet because i am adding the Business partners to the platform first to propose enough items to the final customers, the Business partners onboarding part includes few interactions that i should have with them plus the content creation part (them sending me pictures of their products or me helping them create content about it), I am just wondering if anyone who did already this kind work publicly documented the process so i can learn and apply it faster else i am already working on it.

And yes, totally agree with you on attracting the buyers and focusing on them, i am dedicating a part of my time for that too to be ready for after.
> Very high quality visual/signals surveillance seems like a much more obvious market fit.

Oh, yeah, there are already companies the provide complete surveillance of cities or large areas of cities so that even if a crime scene is discovered hours or days later, they can just go back to that time and track vehicle movement to and from the crime scene to wherever it ends up as long as it's in the same (large) area.

Reducing the cost of the equipment that does the recording of the area will only make it more accessible to more police departments, for better or worse.
Ya, square dancing in China literally means dancing in some kind of public square (which almost all parks in China have). They aren't doing the Macarena (usually).

Whether there is a caller or not is usually left to local culture. Not sure how ayi gets translated to granny, however.

My bet is that the future is going to end up with a more distributed / dispersed model : for large companies, small shared office spaces around town where staff can commute most days to a shared office within a few minutes of their home, and can choose work for a day at a central or specific office when it's useful for a project or team.

The distinction of "WFH/remote" vs "on site" will blur once home is within a few minutes of work. People will literally walk to the office for a meeting and then walk home again. People who are working from home will pop in to share lunch and then go home again. This is my dream, anyway...

Retail has declined due to online commerce. Seattle ironically lost its downtown Bon Marche/Macy's to become more office space for Amazon.

The homeless factor can't be understated in Seattle, especially with all the encampments downtown. I worked at 3rd and Pine McDonalds in the mid-90s, and for as bad as it was back then, it is ten times worse today.
We still have inertial and radio beacon navigation(VOR, ADF, ILS) , you are always able to disconnect the gps data from the computer.

Obviously GPS is allowing much more precise route and approach navigation, all without ground equipment.

New rules and rutes have been developed the last 15 years to take advantage of GPS precision and global availability.

But current airplanes still keep all the old systems in place and we train with them.

Removal of ground stations could become a problem in the future.

I agree that it is important that alterantive navigationsystems are available.
