Solar Monkey | Senior Platform Engineer | REMOTE (EU) (or The Hague, The Netherlands) | Full time

At Solar Monkey (https://solarmonkey.io/), our goal is to enable solar to be the world’s leading power supply, and we accomplish that with software that makes solar power systems more affordable, secure and reliable. We do so in a very open and warm environment, where everybody can have his or her say on company values, structure, and policies.

We are well funded and expanding, and currently looking for an experienced Platform Engineer. Someone who likes creating stability and efficiency in a cloud environment. Someone who is versatile at the shell to debug weird network issues, but who hates snowflakes. Someone who likes developing tools that are used by other developers, and makes their lives easier!

Tech stack: Python, React and MySQL/Postgres, running in GCP in Docker containers deployed through Nomad. We also use the other tools from the Hashicorp suite. We just set up a data pipeline with Meltano.

I would like to be able to undo any part of a calculation without trashing the whole row.
Stars at some point served as "social proof" of something (eyeballs, users, interest), but Goodhart's law struck.

At least three investor groups are explicitly looking at lists of the most starred / forked projects and throwing money at those with "Instagram-style popularity", so we've reached the stage where people can trade in the "internet points" for real money.
Probably as much as a US based company can. I didn't see any US social media giants getting any real punishment for what they got up to between 2007-17.

In fact, given the general distrust of China in the West in international politics, feels like national governments are more likely to respond to any emerging harms than they did with Facebook.
In this context and under German law, a reservation would be an enforceable contract between passenger and airline. If a passenger does not show up, the airline can sue for payment. Hence the proposal mostly shifts the burden of litigation to the airline.

In Germany, airlines have a strong incentive to refuse any refund. Courts are very slow to render decisions and the worst that can happen is being ordered to refund the original amount. Behaviour-correcting damages do not exist under German law. In combination this deters some passengers from pursuing their claim.

Edit: Airlines would also be ordered to pay court and lawyer fees which could be construed incentivising. Yet both fees are statutory capped and quite low for the average ticket price.
My bubble: major Java and .Net apps have crazy server heavy state and communication. I have to wait for a round trip to an overloaded server to view a tab with 50 words of info. They scold you for hitting back or refresh or idling 15 minutes and ask you to login again. Apparent "links" may be buttons and tabs may be unsupported. Does modern JSF have horizontal scalability and recover from state or networking hiccups?
i must be doing something wrong. I just put eggs in pressure cooker and set induction timer to 10 mins thats it. I have been doing this for years and i don't find any problem with eggs what am i missing?
Can this work with WASM?
Has there been research done on negative value from scaling, the uncool participants effect? Where teenagers/young adults leave (or reduce their activity/start looking for other networks) when mom and grandpa join?

Given the toxicity of tetraethyl lead, and the (apparent) risk of spilling it all over you when refuling, I wouldn't be surprised if the personal risk to a pilot was comparable to the marginal risk to the wider public of whether one person flies with leaded gas or not.
>This seems too vague/ill-defined. In what way is the entry "not his own work"? Using tool X or Y in the generation of digital artwork doesn't make the work belong to the tool

It's up to the judges to decide, no doubt. Every possible rule (including laws in a legal system) will at some point encounter edge cases. That's why we have judges.

In this case, I expect most judges will feel that having an AI generate art is not the same as having a human draw art using a drawing program, which seems reasonable.
i don’t read /every/ story posted or even heavily discussed on hn, and i doubt most people do either..
If only they cared minimally about æsthetics.
That sounds unsettling, given the normal trajectory for software companies running at a loss (get VC, adjust goals to match VC desire, etc). For a privacy focused company it feels like they already lost the normal leverage line item of doing "something" with user data.

I dunno, "if you're not paying, you're the product", but how does that fit if you are paying, but what your paying isn't actually enough? Whats the other product?

Hope they do well.
Wait until you see the how many attacks can be carried out using Internet Protocol.
Looks like it was this and there is some way around it:

I agree with all of this and I think the only thing I would add is that Tiktok understood the assignment was to be a mobile app. Everything about Tiktok is streamlined for mobile from the menus, to the time allotments, to a myriad of other design choices. Mobile is the future and, while I don't mean this to be snide towards pc enthusiasts, I find that a lot of people in my generation (millenials) and farther back just cannot comprehend how enjoyable a well designed mobile experience can be because they're stuck in old mindsets and habits. But Gen Z is growing up with phones that don't suck in their hands and the status quo of 'good enough' mobile apps is eventually going to be subverted by apps like TikTok imo that actually embrace mobile as a valid primary medium and not just as a lucrative lowest-common-denominator market.
I found this video quite illuminating, where a law professor explains why even with the best of intentions one shouldn't talk to the police.

While maybe it's not very useful for your own bookmarking, there are other useful effects:

- Saying "I think it's neat" internet points is kindof a nice kudos. It's relatively pleasing to see some stars on your repositories.

- It's an indication of popularity/usage. If you have to rely on some dependency, "choose the one with the most stars" will probably give you a good result for next to no effort.

- In terms of social networking: I can then see what repositories others have starred.
Can we finally agree that 'currently cool' is no longer a moat, and stop giving insane 10x price/sales valuations to social media companies on the promise of eternal future growth / profitability.
100 + 75 + 8 + 6 - 50 / 25 = 187

Any better solutions?
A moat based on an aging population isn't much of a moat
Europeans aren't having kids because they aren't having sex drive. They are having sex, just with protection, as they don't want kids, because the job and housing markets are too fucked to support a family without massive stress and anxiety for the parents.

Fix those first so we can have a stable income and affordable housing from a young age, and then we'll take off the condoms.
Based on this comment you should find somewhere else to spend your time.
The "just works" thing is unfortunately a thing of the past.
I feel like TikTok took the Vine idea to its natural extent. Meanwhile Facebook/Meta shoehorning Snap & TikTok features into Instagram ruined Instagram and wasted their lead.

Many big tech companies don't perform real R&D, instead they're fast-followers - piggybacking off whatever their competitors do, but the truth is that "disruption should come from within" because letting a competitor design your next product feature is f'n foolish (we see this a lot with consumer hardware too).

Imagine if Facebook/Meta actually focussed on Instagram's core strengths, and had cultivated a proper community or reason for being (e.g like YouTube or Twitch), rather than just spending all that time thinking about how they can squeeze more ad revenue: sure they might have not have had such big short-term ad sales, but Instagram would have found its feet and not have been so easily disrupted - heck, this might have led to innovative ways of advertising: two-birds-with-one-stone imagine that! (/s)

I think I speak for many when I say this is a core frustration with Facebook/Meta. There is nothing exciting coming out of their company because they don't make new ideas* and that leaves themselves open to disruption. By being too focused on ad revenue their acquisitions haven't progressed since day one, instead each looks like a Frankenstein's monster of the same app but with loads of ads and competitor's features bolted on.

* Even the much hyped metaverse isn't offering anything new.
> MySpace was overtaken by Friendster

It's the other way around - Friendster was the incument that Myspace unseated.
Maybe they will leave it on like a tv news channel in the background.

If those they came to follow are gone they will still scroll a feed increasingly filled with ads. When they complain, their friends/family will install something and say touch the dancing penguin/barfing unicorn/whatever to see the latest, it's just like Facebook used to be.
For non-US citizens the US constitution also has no relevance. Thus for non-US citizens it makes no real difference
I don’t think that this regulation would make any ticket cancelable. For one, the booking would still be an enforceable contract. But the airline would have to enforce it now. But a more likely scenario would be to hold the payment in escrow, release it on check in and refund it on cancellation. A bit like Paypal‘s buyer protection.
An AI-generated artwork’s state fair victory fuels arguments over ‘what art is’
Github probably thinks that there is low usage because programmers often use ad blockers that disable analytics.
An easy way to verify that would be to add a "subscribe" button to the trending page and see the number of people who would subscribe.
Most modern ThinkPads only have soldered RAM/max out at 32GB so were basically a no-go for me. They also had 2mo+ delivery lead times for BTO options, which also put it out of the running. I wasn't super happy w/ my last Thinkpad (X250) and general sentiment seems to be that they've continued to go downhill, so unless they release something that hits it out of the park from a design perspective then I'm not so interested. (The Z13 is actually pretty neat now that it's available and discounted, but only 2 USB-C ports doesn't work for me.)

Dell QC has been pretty terrible the past decade, and they're inferior in basically every way (Intel-only, mediocre cooling solutions, meh battery size, expensive, long-standing (like multi-year, basically entire product life cycle) unresolved bugs/incompatibilities even for their dev edition versions, soldered RAM, awful support, etc).

One other thing is that if you are a Linux user, I really don't see much point in rolling the dice/fighting obscure compatibility bugs (most of them being BIOS/ACPI bugs that are hard to impossible for mere mortal end-users to fix) when there are similar (or better) alternatives that are known to work OOTB, or better yet, explicitly support Linux.
I have run across several projects I wanted to use but whose main documentation was not in a language I spoke well enough. It would be nice to only show repositories documented in languages I know well enough to interpret reasonable demands.
I have another Raspberry Pi sitting next to my desk, with a keyboard and a tiny screen, dedicated to systems administration. My user on this machine has an SSH key that on every machine logs into an account with sudo access. To revoke a user key, I run a script from this machine that logs into each host and updates sshd’s RevokedKeys.

I have no mechanism at the moment for revoking host keys, which is a harder problem to solve as it would involve updating a number of laptops, phones, etc. that may not be powered on at a given time, but that’s less of a problem since if I knew a host key had been compromised I wouldn’t be logging into it anyway.
While I do watch a little football I am not an expert, but when does that stop anyone from giving an opinion.

From what a much more knowledgeable person told me, “Brady takes what the defense gives him”

Some player run and create plays with their speed and arm. Brady has been playing 20+ years and will read the defense very well and throw the ball pretty accurately to whichever receiver has best chance of a completion even if it’s a short pass.
Younger players might go for bigger flashier plays.

Combine this with having the referees be deferential to him and making sure other players are not to rough on him.
(I am not from US, if that matter)

I wonder why every news on privacy issue in the United States try to make connection with abortion.

Won't this make the privacy argument more fragmented?
Ostensibly their core use cases don’t overlap 100%, but as long as you accept that textual medium is just a means to information and is replaceable with video, you can actually get everything you get from Facebook on TikTok — news, commentary, entertainment, friend and family updates, messaging, etc. Plus, on a deeper level, everything competes with everything for your time and attention.
problem is... the macbook are awful
Wow.

People are so soft these days.

I remember taking an entry exam for university back in my home country. A few hundred people in a boiler room. It was brutally hard. I probably failed.

No one complained.

You just got up off your butt, dusted off the shame and studied harder.

Everyone with the complaining these days.

Of course university is supposed to be hard. To weed out the lazy people. It’s supposed to be the ultimate meritocracy.

What now? Push for easier grading? More gender studies degrees so no matter how the exams turn out your answer is always right?

Ahhh I forgot we are already doing that.
Windows is not at a different place. The boot chain is incrementally locked down. Also, due to unfettered access throughout Windows API, adding extra kernel modules was not widespread under Windows.

Just because you can modify Windows, it doesn't make it a better place overall. We have witnessed what happened to it over the years.

At the end of the day, I'm a Linux guy and strong GNU proponent. The reason I use Mac laptops because of the hardware & software integration they provide, plus I always keep a virtualized Linux installation at top of it.

If macOS was not interoperable with Linux, I'd not be using it.
Uh.... I need something like this on android. My photos in folders have gotten out of hand
Your certificate is broken, clicked on the click but decided not to bother after the five warnings from Safari and the need to unlock the system security settings to set an exception.
The article says it was over the phone.
Last month I went to a shop to order a specific size shower which would be delivered next day. The employee took my order, I paid and left. While driving home I got an email with my order, but I didn't check it.

The next day I come to get my delivery and realise it is not the correct size, I check my email and indeed the size is not correct.
The shop made no issue and ordered a new one but I lost 4 days.

So who knows?
That is helpful at times. There are some developers whose opinions I know and respect, and it's helpful to see what projects are catching their attention.
Chop it, split it, dry it for a year and it’s fine. I’ve burnt huge amounts of pine in my Jøtul.
The choice to enable auto-updates is prominently present to users on onboarding. So while default off, it is one click away from being turned on for every new user using Orion.

Also there is a question of the real risk. WebKit and macOS are generally very secure. We had to intervene only once in the last 4 years with a (medium) security related WebKit update (and we shipped it a week sooner than Apple did with Safari).

We believe that the two facts highlighted above minimize any security risk.

On the other hand every telemetry, including auto-update pings, sends personal information (at the very least user's IP address) to the browser vendor. Almost every other browser on the market is ad-supported (directly or indirectly). Telemetry and ad-supported businesses can be a problem.

We do believe that browsers do not have the right to do this (at least if they want to call themselves privacy-respecting). In our view it should be on users to decide if they want to trust the browser (browsers are "user agent" after all) and every telemetry, including this, should be opt-in.

Simply put, if a browser is not zero-telemetry it can not be called privacy respecting, and any browser using telemetry by default should at least disclose it to users on the first run.
Sad news. For me it was ritual on Friday mornings check trending repos for the past week. Thanks to it I found out about few nice projects.
And in completely unrelated news on the front page 'why Instagram is dying'

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32685663
Mostly just their DNS service.
I check this page everyday. A lot of my starred repos come from this page.

I think this hints at part of the problem with Github as a social hub for tech. I do the same thing, and star things I've seen in the Trending page. Very often I never actually go back to those things though. That star is essentially a signal to the repo owner saying "I'm happy this exists." The problem is that there are also people who star things to say "I love this" or "I am using this" or simply "I'm bookmarking this."

That's fine, of course, but then repo owners then start saying things like "My library has 5000 stars, it's clearly the best library for X!" and "My library got to 20000 stars much more quickly than Y and Z, so people must think it's better than Y and Z!"

Github probably should turn off the social features unless they can think up a way of discouraging people using the social aspect as a measure of quality or popularity when they're really not those things.
This is the type of thing that controlling is very difficult and thus expensive. As a result it's done at a pretty minimal level everywhere.
Bonus points if someone can apply this to answering and filtering spam calls, like an automated receptionist.
Organize and demand change!
The social order does not care about the majority at the base that’s suffering until they drop it all on the floor..
I think Meta really screwed up by not creating a stand-alone Reels app and instead trying to integrate it with Instagram. As someone who doesn't really like Meta as a company, I would admittedly be interested in trying out a totally new video-centric app released by them.

But instead all they did was make instagram a little worse. I mean they already had instagram videos, shoe-horning a fifth tab at the bottom isn't what people wanted. Seems like a really corporate, safe way of trying to compete.
Nice implementation and animations.

I've used summle.net for a couple of months.

Few ideas from their implementation:
- achievements, badges and stats
- hints when your stuck
- 3 levels (for kids, normal, extreme)
- quick erase all
- % of overall resolution from other user
- best solution (in N moves VS your K moves)

Few other ideas:
- dark mode
- practice mode (more user retention, just like quordle)

Enjoy your code and your project, I'll try to add it to my daily puzzles.
Impressive you stuck with it for so long. I was just about to give up…

Is the end goal to ween onto their own index or will the search space always be dominated by some major upstream players?
Windows is still not exactly supported.

The language is nice though. It seems like it would benefit from a bit more publicity.
I am very familiar with this topic. I again recommend the exhaustive article by Kenji in the NYT. You don't need to wait.
Great idea! But what to do if some jack manufacturer will take a beautiful cable and waste it with an awful jack for the sake of some economical reasons?

> 6. TikTok nailed ads. They are obvious, easy to skip, and not jarring at all. Instagram is a mess.

Did they really nail ads or could it perhaps just be that they still consider themselves in a growth phase (perhaps depending on market) where they deliberately try to not use them as hard as they think they could?
Multiple tings:

Desktop PCs have become a niche, more people have laptops than Desktop PCs, so that already reduces the market for dedicated internal sound cards significantly.

Desktop PC motherboards now come with integrated DACs that are "good enough", and if you care enough that they aren't, you'd have a hard time arguing for an internal solution over an external one anyway.

No, foreigners don't have just as much right to live in Portugal. That's what this article is about. Foreigners need an investment visa, so they have to buy the right to live in Portugal. A literal condition is that you have to buy property over €450,000 and restore it. This selects for rich foreigners so the house value increases.

If you are Portuguese you get the right to reside in Portugal for free. Everyone else (apart from EU citizens) must buy it.
Am I part of an aged, dying userbase no one cares about? I barely endured my third decade and yet I do not want to watch reels, TikToks or any other video that contains text, adhd and "fun" content. I just want to look at the photos and videos people I personally know uploaded, preferably ordered by how long ago they got posted.
ITT people are mentioning the old ranking algorithm for Trending repos. Is there any way today to access something like that?

Also, how do you discover new and interesting projects in these days?
Why would Instagram even try to be TikTok to begin with? Why show a firehose of short videos that just makes everyone who made your platform what it is, hate it?

How will you tell who is leaving the platform because it's suddenly TikTok (like me) vs who's leaving the platform for TikTok?
I think they want you to subscribe to email updates to explore new interesting repositories. Probably they are going to use it for marketing too. That might be the reason of the deprication of the page.
That's a shame. I admit that I hardly ever look at this page but when I do rediscover it every few months I always stumble into a load of great projects.

I was just looking at the list and saw this - https://github.com/EvanLi/Github-Ranking - anyone missing the rending feature might like that
