Medusa - open-source Shopify alternative (https://www.medusajs.com) | Senior Software Engineer | Lead Software Engineer | REMOTE | Full-Time

The last decade has seen hyper-growth in the digital commerce space, and selling online is no longer just about having a webshop. New technologies enable merchants to deliver much more sophisticated experiences, iterate much faster on new features, and leverage a large variety of sales channels (SoMe, Apps, ChatBots, etc.). Unfortunately, existing platforms with monolithic architectures are too rigid to support this new wave of commerce technologies. This is where Medusa comes in.

Medusa is the open-source alternative to Shopify. With Medusa, you get a robust set of features supporting all conventional commerce operations. What sets us apart is our composable architecture allowing merchants to build out fantastic customer experiences using best-in-breed services and add custom functionality to fit the exact needs of their business without compromising on the scalability of the setup.

We've just raised a large seed round and are looking for great people to join our growth journey.

Tech stack: Node.js (TypeScript), Next.js, Gatsby, Postgres, Redis

Thanks!

Elon Musk to Workers: Spend 40 Hours in the Office, or Else
Seeking work | San Francisco, CA or St. Paul, MN | Remote OK

Jack of all trades and master of none doesn't describe it. I've been in the game since I got done with Lego in my pre-teens 20 years ago. I like building tech more as a hobby than a job, but have great value to add to compatible teams. Most recently I've been working service and labor positions and building tech that fits into the framework of my own life.

I'm self-taught and later college educated, have built open source libraries and apps, worked in web agencies and SV/SF tech at stages from seed to post-IPO. I've served as tech lead and worked closely with product management at SaaS and consumer companies in product owner-like capacity (good writing and communication skills). Most recently I've been sharpening my marketing skills and learning SaaS/creator platforms on my own time.

My mindset is far more bootstrap with focus on profitability than VC. I can see big picture and have battle scars. I prefer to work with a team if the gig is more than a couple weeks but can deliver from isolation with concrete goals. I love training people to take over my job, the lower skill the better to a degree--it forces better documentation and visibility and justifies automation. I've worked with teams from all over the world and am pretty sensitive to cross cultural communication.

If you provide me with a job description I can make a single page resume with relevant experience.

Thanks.

Because the average nameplate capacity of solar is below 20% globally, and infill is natural gas. Solar is only zero carbon if you look at it out of context.

This planet has nighttime. This planet has bad weather. Solar fans usually say "batteries," but that's absolute nonsense; there is nowhere near enough copper on this planet to wire them up, or lithium or lead to make them. When they're not grid backed, which is what we're discussing here, they'd have to be half the size of your house, they'd cost $600k, and you'd have to replace them every 25 years. You think the housing crisis is bad? Wait for the battery crisis that solar fans want.

There's a reason that every time they build a solar plant, they build a natural gas plant right next door.

After that, someone inevitably insists that we can just cover the planet in transmission wires. And I mean, if you even think that through for a tenth of a second

On top of that, *solar plants don't work*. Ivanpah has wanted to shut down for 20 years straight because it's bleeding money, and produces less than 10% of the power it was expected to, but the state won't let it, because then their green laws aren't satisfied anymore (and they're only satisfied now because nobody counts the infill carbon.)

Another thing nobody seems to understand is flywheel smoothing. The variability in power is being physically smoothed by (usually) a large spinning piece of rock, similar to the metal disc that smooths power demand in your car. You remember how the one at Level3 cut a notch through the highway when it spun out of the building? That was with a professional maintenance team. You want one of those in every house, or at every city block?

Energiewende failed for a reason. Germany threw almost two trillion dollars at it for 14 years, and all they did was 6x their cost of power, drive their reliability down, and increase their carbon output (even with flywheels, start/stop cycles aren't free; turning those gas plants on and off is a disaster.)

Solar only makes sense if you look at it on paper, driven by an amateur who's googling shit.

As soon as you look at what actually happens at plants, start folding in all the topics you didn't know about, experience, look at whether there are materials to support the fantasy, look at what can be recycled instead of just saying "recycle it," etc?

It just doesn't work.

One of the world's largest and most industrialized nations tried for 14 years, and it was a disaster.

Just look at the real world evidence.

I have lots of help. I write during work hours (so kids are at school). At work I delegate as much as possible to a team of great people; hiring a good team has been critical. I sometimes hire a sitter to support some exercise time, and other times I bring my kids with me to a running track. I hire housecleaners to clean regularly to help me keep my home nice and organized. I don't currently have a personal assistant, but in the past I did and that was helpful for getting "life things" done. My kids and I have gotten used to a culture where we alternate between independent time (so I can, say, read a textbook for an hour while they play) and together time. I've found that my kids enjoy independent time when they know they will regularly have focused attention from me, so I try to give them that (reliable focused attention, ideally 1:1). I do have less time to work than I did before kids, so I spend a portion of my energy planning ahead or delegating.

We're solving the healthcare short-staffing crisis one shift at a time(we help match nurses with short-staffed healthcare facilities), and we're growing so fast that we're hiring for roles we haven't even thought of yet. We doubled our 50-person engineering team in Q1 and our goals for Q2 are just as ambitious.

45 minutes of sustained aerobic exercise at least 3 times a week or every day ideally if you can fit it in. The method of action is probably neurogenesis in the hippocampus which is the brain region responsible for forming new memories but may also play a dominant role in associating information that the brain is already storing with new information aka problem solving.

Surely others doing it is a perfect reason to do it. They pile in, market surges, you hop in and get lifted, and cash out before they do. Leaving aside the critical timing of that last step, it seems obviously right (for a short-term purely economics view)

I do most of my C# development on Linux. Not sure why you need to tolerate Windows to enjoy C#.
I don't understand why people would have believed otherwise in the first place.

It's clear that masks are effective at preventing transmission for passing encounters. But I have operated under the assumption that if you are sharing space with someone for 8 hours a day - you're basically still going to spread Covid.

People are incorrectly assuming that using kubectl implies invoking it from an administrator's laptop. Of course, you can and should invoke kubectl from your CD pipeline. The CD pipeline maintains its own record of runs, and Kubernetes deployments have a revision history.

Moreover, people in this thread also don't know what "declarative" means. The patch is declarative, and "declarative" doesn't provide the claimed benefits. For example, as with the patch command, I can create, apply, and delete a Kubernetes manifest file (indeed, I can apply directly from stdin!) and there is no additional record of the change beyond that which would exist if I had just applied the patch.

Looking Glass might have just invented the GIF’s 3D successor
I have found the opposite actually. I have three young children and I feel like they have forced me into much better time management habits, which has helped my productivity a lot. The caveat to that is that I can't put in as much time into work anymore, so while I'm more productive, I don't have as much time to be productive. It ends up being a wash.
How? Cloudflare registrar is not decade old.
It's healthy to be skeptical. At the same time, Musk wouldn't be the first successful person who came from a crappy background.

Each building on LEX has a ticker symbol and stock chart.

We’ve built:

- A retail brokerage app to trade shares of real estate

- A dealflow operation to take buildings public

- An SEC-filed ATS on which those shares can trade

We're a small company (~ 30 people, 10 engineers) with some great backers working to unlock real estate for the masses.

I think advanced SEO tactics would destroy the results in 2006 though.
Including the correct capitalization of nouns? Impressive!

I did a side-by-side test with a coworker, looking at the results in various European languages. We did get the same answers, and some languages did get the correct translation (Ukranian, Polish, Czech, but not Slovak), but that you get a different translation than I did is weird.
Drifting in Space | Full-time | NYC | https://driftingin.space

We make Jamsocket (https://jamsocket.com/), which allows application developers to spin up and connect to server-side compute. This allows browser-based applications to do computationally-intensive things that are otherwise impossible in the browser.

80% of new cars support CarPlay

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/29/apple-carplay-massive-succes...

As far as I know, most cars that support CarPlay also support Android auto. I can’t imagine car manufacturers wanting to pay licensing fees to TomTom unnecessarily.
Because you are missing out on the desktop UI capabilities of the language which is a great feature at least if you use it as a hobbyist like me.

And Visual Studio. To me the IDE matters as much as the syntax of the language. And when I was a beginner having an IDE that can interact with my code as I type it is a massive help to progressing.
I'm not a scientist or a doctor but it seems that forcing kids to mask for 6 hours a day is useless when they leave school and go to sporting events, movie theaters, restaurants, shopping malls, and even their classmates homes, all without a mask. Does Covid only spread in a classroom?

And protecting the teachers and staff isn't a justified reason either because the vast majority of them are removing the masks when they leave the school also.

It just doesn't seem logical to me.
Greek Out?
It's tricky, because now that Firefox is a (small) minority browser I often assume any breakage is Firefox-specific. But at least 80% of the time, when I retry something in Chrome, it's still broken. I usually don't, mentally file it as "broken in Firefox", and decide I don't need to use that site for now anyway. So my estimation of Firefox-specific breakage is probably much higher than the reality. A lot of the web is just plain broken, for all browsers, much of the time.

The one major category of real problems I run into are related to captchas.
It's not because someone can do something that they should, but this is amazing :-)
