Radar Labs | Software Engineers & Technical PMs (infra, platform, data, full-stack, mobile) | Remote US / New York City | Full Time

https://radar.com Radar Labs is a location infrastructure SaaS platform.

Over the past year Radar has been used from 100M+ devices doing 10,000 qps.

We've recently raised our Series C and are a small, but mighty engineering team (9 engineers!). We're based across the US, with an HQ in NYC in Union Square.

There's a ton of opportunity to make an impact and work on a variety of things, as we're a pretty fluid team:

- Infrastructure (e.g. Evaluate our production workloads on ARM64 and build out our AWS stack with Terraform CDK)

- Platform (e.g. Build out abstractions for our product engineers to ingest and compute geo queries at high-scale)

- Data (e.g. Process, deduplicate, and evaluate 10s of millions of POIs from a variety of vendors and open data)

- Mobile (e.g. building a control system that automatically configures optimizing battery-life and location accuracy for different use-cases over time)

- Product (e.g. build tools to visualize and debug location data at scale)

How is this not a huge scandal? This is the spouse of a Supreme Court Associate Justice, how is anyone to believe Justice Thomas can rule on issues like health care and elections impartially?

Perhaps with a laser, or using a CNC machining tool? Neither option is a backyard operation, nor cheap. With laser engraving you can achieve colors by modulating the settings on the laser, which is nifty.
> It's crazy because all new homes and apartments are "luxury apartments" with insanely high pricing both for buying and renting. They're mostly empty or are (often illegally) rented out as holiday apartments.

You'd feel at home in LA.

I've seen this trend here for at least a decade now. I know some people who say that the construction of these luxury apartments is a sign that the economy is recovering, but I remain skeptical. These places are the least lived-in looking apartment complexes I've ever seen in my life. There's one down the street from where I live that was completed around 5 years ago, and I would bet good money that most of it is vacant. I rarely see people going to and from it, besides the occasional few who visit the burger bar right in front of it. Too many of the balconies look sterile.

I don't know why so many of these are being built outside of LA proper, but I have a theory for why there are these massive complexes being built; the rich have spoiled children they no longer want to deal with so mommy and daddy pay for these apartments to house them. I used to deliver food to these places and, without fail, I was delivering to men and women who appeared way too young to afford such places.

Things, hopefully, have moved onto steady-state. Covid can be seen as somewhere between a mild cold and a bad flu, and the vaccines start looking like flu shots. Based on how the next few years and variants behave, we might see annual shots or, perhaps, there will be some progress on a more general coronavirus vaccine (assuming there's a suitable invariant region of the coat).
Show HN: I made an indie app store alternative with a twist
The twist is that although it does (part of) the job of an app store, it's not (nor aims to be) an app store.

It's a script you add to your existing web app that makes it "self-distributing". Check it out: https://progressier.com.

Under the hood, it leverages the concept of "PWA", but it goes further:

1. It creates an installation page for your app that looks like an app store listing. Demo example: https://install.page/covid

2. It handles every OS/browser combination to create an installation flow that works everywhere (e.g. on Safari/iOS, with in-app browsers, etc)

3. It lets you manage all the technical aspects of your PWA in a dashboard rather than in code (i.e. service worker, app manifest, caching strategies, icons, etc). You can even send push notifications and design app screenshots from Progressier.

Caveats:

- It only works for web apps

- It's not free!

- An app store is supposed to handle "logistics" and "promotion". Progressier only does the former. It won't get you new users.

- Push notifications are not yet available on iOS

Some fun facts:

- There are 5,000+ apps using Progressier

- 50%+ of my customers are users of no-code platforms, particularly Bubble.

- Under the hood, Softr's PWA Builder (https://www.softr.io/pwa-builder) actually uses a white-labeled version of Progressier I provide them

- Progressier is built entirely by me (https://kevin.tw). For the record, the whole thing is just vanilla CSS/JS — no frameworks.

> It feels like I'm seeing a lot of articles lately that get deep thinkers quite wrong, or which use their personal character flaws to invalidate their ideas.

I completely agree... it's very frustrating seeing this happen to many thinkers that had a strong influence on me. I've recently seen similar 'takedowns' of Thoreau, Nietzsche, Carl Jung, Kipling, and many others that grossly misrepresent the ideas these people had, mention some personal failings, and then conclude that these people did nothing of value.

It's incredible that people writing these articles feel entitled to write a dismissal/rebuttal of a deep thinker, when they haven't even taken the time to understand the ideas.

“As a coffee lover I downloaded the Grindr app. Needless to say it did not go well.”
One of the most interesting figures from this era is Captain Al Hubbard [1]. He was one of the original proponents of the stuff going back to the 1950s. The amount of people in high places he introduced to the stuff went all the way up to Aldous Huxley via Dr. Humphrey Osmond. I once found one of the clinics where a bunch of experiments were done in Vancouver and called it up out of curiosity, nobody in there had any idea about the history of that place.

Pretty crazy how long it took for this kind of research to find its way back into the mainstream. I hope it helps a lot of people. I'm not sure what else will at this point.

The problem is not immigrants, of people freely crossing borders -- the problem is rich people and the power we give them. Which is pretty clear from the OP, they know what's up. Most immigrants in the world, of course, are not rich. Blaming other people who are struggling as much or more than you, instead of the people profiting of it all, is helpful for the people profiting off it all.
> But it seems to have a very large component of taxpayers footing the bill for rich guys' toys/playgrounds

Eh, most are not that rich. There's a wide range of plane prices. From Honda Civic money, to millions of dollars.

GA encompasses a whole bunch of activities. You do have the rich doctors flying in twins, yes. You also have Angel Flights, Pilots N Paws providing volunteer assistance for people and animals. You have flight training (we are going through a pilot shortage). Aero(photography/grammetry). Sightseeing flights (tourism industry). Transportation of people and cargo to remote areas. Etc.

In some cases the revenue generated doesn't pay for the infrastructure. That's why so many airports have closed in the last couple of decades.

There are also people just flying for fun. Usually in very cheap and economical planes burning single digit gallons per hour. Their gallon/mile figure can be pretty good even compared to cars (let alone SUVs).

I meant B6, not sure why I made the B2 typo. Fixed.
Edit: My first paragraph conveys more frustration than perhaps I wanted, but it's what I think every time I hear this argument.

I don't think "basic need" is a good argument, as many other things are basic needs but function perfectly fine in a market-based system. This perspective sounds moral, but proposes nothing to actually resolve the problem (other than to advantage a particular section of the population at the expense of another - namely, people who would like to be homeowners). I note that most such proposals make no allowances for people who would like to rent - because they don't actually care about anyone other than themselves; they want to own a home, ideally at a low price, in a good location, with good services, on a large block.

Food is also a basic need, but does not get any of the attention because it is a functioning market.

In many places, property is not a very functional market, as suppliers (developers) are unable to respond to demand thanks to regulations/zoning.
Shared mmap on top of tmpfs, maybe?
I think it will come down to money. People work with hot tar in the blazing sun for money, and toil in Amazon warehouses for money. Make it worth people's while and yeah, they'll work in semiconducting manufacturing.
There's two main groups of people. Cable manufacturers and device manufacturers. Cables are commodity and most of the value is consumed by retail. Manufacturers compete against each other by tiny optimizations and huge scale. Unless there's someone on the retail side who can actively sell more expensive cables despite consumers having very little ability to distinguish them, the factories will cost optimize to death and beyond.

On the device side, the ability to get those few percent extra profitability is the difference between a failed product and a successful one to higher ups. If you give a TPM the option to choose between $0.05 off the BOM and theoretical improvement to reliability, they'll choose the former almost every time.

I remember one product launch that turned into a disaster because it had been cost optimized so hard that the circuit would go slightly out of spec under physical strain and it turned into a yelling match over the few cents of additional plastic in the housing to mitigate the issue.
The whole point is that it had to be a drop-in replacement.
“Ground gas mileage” meant converting the KIAS to mph on the ground (while flying).

I’m as mad as everyone else about unnecessary cloud integration and companies bricking useful hardware but that description seems a REAL stretch here.

> In other words, SmartDry will become a tiny brick inside your dryer unless you're willing to procure a little ESP32 development board, load some code onto it, plug it in near your dryer, and set up your own alerts in your Home Assistant server.

Now I’ll admit there are cases that still count as “bricked” even if the device is recoverable with a Dremel and a JTAG debugger, but generally if you can fix it without specialist tools or software it’s not bricked.

In this case it sounds like the device still works fine and you just need to provide a server for it to talk to.

Any idea when a model with anything-other-than-intel cpu's will be available? eg Ryzen, (or anything)

Asking because I swore off Intel a few years ago. :)
I think they're suggesting a few suffixes: -

USB40.100W - USB only, 40G, 100W PD

USB20H.100W - USB with HDMI alternate mode and 100W PD (HDMI alternate mode exists in theory only at present though)

USB40T.60W - USB with thunderbolt alternate mode

USB40DT.40W - both thunderbolt and displayport alternate modes supported

USB40DHMTV.60W - USB with all alternate modes (so far: displayport, HDMI, MHL, Thunderbolt, VirtualLink).

Being allowed to color-code cables would be nice too. The USB-C spec forbids that IIRC.

Edit: imagine if the USB consortium had authority in the 1900s - 1920s. "Let's have mains power, phones, and radio antennas all use the same connector!"
I can't tell what your point is then? The petty red state question was dumb, sure.

80% of american food and beverage is significant. And more significant than 20% of it, obviously.

Candy is a pretty small portion of the food people eat even if there's a lot of shelf space on the supermarkets. Most food that people eat are grains and meat, which is largely sourced internally.

The imported stuff is mostly fresh produce which is nice but also not really natural or essential to have year round.

> Wow, that’s a hilarious stat. How is that even… possible?

There's nothing magical about flight. Take-off takes a bunch of energy. Maintaining that energy, not so much. Planes are pretty aerodynamic, imagine that :) Some are much lighter than cars since every pound counts. To the point that people often opt to not have AC (if it's even an option) to save a few pounds.

They will cover a lot of ground in the same amount of time. That helps even more.

Not all planes are that economical, of course. But some are indeed hilarious. Check ultralights (or microlights as they are known in Europe).
Fair is generally defined to mean in accordance with established rules and without bias. Offering preferential renting rights or pricing to certain cohorts such as people of a given age, nationality, etc. would clearly not be fair under this definition.
The biggest thing, I think, is that it needs to be clearly advertised on the packet (in a “batteries not included” style) that the device depends on XX service provided by YY company.
My comment was clearly in the context of loading an individual database record within the application once running. Sure, splash screens exist. Are those part of using the application?

No the flip side is that I choose the product on the market that best meets my needs as do most people.

I started programming in assembly in 6th grade in 1986 and by the time I graduated from college in 1996, I had dabbled in assembly for four different processors (65C02, 68K, PPC, x86) and I have been a professional hands on keyboard developer since then [1]. I think I have a good grasp on how this computer stuff works. I still prefer the Apple ecosystem.

Have you thought that most people don’t care about the ability to run a Linux shell on their phone? I certainly don’t.

[1] before I get called out, I’ve mentioned before that my official title now is “cloud architect specialized in application modernization consulting”. But that just means that I’m still just an “full stack enterprise developer” who also writes a shit ton of yaml/HCL/PowerPoint slides, “one pagers” and PrFAQs.
So what I'm hearing is... get a Diamond? :)
Modern versions of this type of person exist, they're just pessimistic. The latest rising star in this category I've encountered is Peter Zeihan, a man who writes extensively about geopolitics and forecasts a great deal of doom and gloom (though America will be fine, he says, which helps his sales I'm sure). IIRC his latest book was one of the best-selling non-fiction books this year.

He's funny, explains complex topics in a way that's understandable to lay people, and gives the impression of knowing his business quite well.

In reality, the vast majority of his predictions over the past two decades have not come true e.g. saying China, Russia, and Canada would all break up by 2020. He is also wrong about specific technical claims e.g. how efficient certain renewable technologies can be in different locales (I have enough of a background to check some of these figures by hand).
That might be true in the anglophone world, but plenty of other populations aren't hostile to the idea of regulating the internet, and I don't mean the totalitarian countries. The GDPR is a ray of hope in this regard.

What prompted me to mention incentives in the first place is that the GP's framing of the problem is a common narcotic. Online is/ought-type complaining reduces the potential for action since the emotional need for signaling is already fulfilled. It's a trap I've fallen into many times myself. In itself, it's more dangerous at scale than any public mockery of regulation.
In my experience, hiring managers and recruiters are given specific knobs they can turn. Salary, of course, and a few knobs around equity. Things that aren't presented to the hiring managers are next to impossible to change: vacation time is a big one, but also working hours, because that's all in company policies that are written to apply to all.
I only run 1 sample at a time (batch size 1), forgot to mention that, and that affects the step time.

It looks like each additional image in a batch is cheaper than the 1st image. For example if I reduce my resolution so I can generate more in a single batch

1 image, 50 steps, 320x320: 5s

2 images, 50 steps, 320x320: 8s

3 images, 50 steps, 320x320: 11s

4 images, 50 steps, 320x320: 14s

And the trend continues, and my reported iteration/sec goes down as well. It's not accounting for the fact that with steps=50 and batch size=4 it's actually running 200 steps, just in 4 parallel parts.
Do they still make the default user an admin account? If so, this is, in my opinion, a band-aid designed to prevent users experiencing any bother. Actual security measures will almost always introduce friction - I'd love to be able to leave my front door open but I have to use a key.
Can someone tell if this has much/any practical significance? To me it seems to be a long pedantic discussion with little practical impact.

> import { a } from "./a"

Seems to be the issue, maybe something about missing an extension.

> Bearing this in mind, the last version of ES for which TypeScript was a superset would be ES5 (2009), before the introduction of ES modules.

This certainly matters to those writing ts -> js transpilers. As far as I care, it doesn't matter if the split happens at ES5 or ES2015 as long as the transpiled output works.

The fact that this detail is being raised seems like an indication of how well it conforms to being a superset, unlike CoffeeScript's "It's just JavaScript." assertion.

"The idea anybody can protect their kids 100% is completely ridiculous, just let it go."

You're right. I think one significant difference between my parents generation and those of us who came later, is that they lived through the depression and WWII. They knew this fact if not consciously then subconsciously for the very reason that from an early age they were often confronted with things and circumstances well outside their control. War for instance, being conscripted into the military was just a fact of life and that one had to accept it, everyone was well aware that it was essentially futile to do otherwise.

To a large extent their attitude of resignation and acceptance of fate passed onto way they treated us, their children. Like other aspects of their lives, they accepted the fact that they couldn't control everything we did, even if we were just kids.

That was a great blessing for my generation, the babyboomers. We had almost none of the major restrictions that governed our parents' lives, and it's largely the reason for why we had so much freedom and autonomy as kids.

Nevertheless, we became a bratish generation, we did what we wanted and we got what we wanted. Compared with our parents we were undisciplined and from there we eventually developed into the 'control freak' generation. As babyboomers, we were now getting just about everything denied to our parents, but when something was denied to us we became overly pushy and overbearing until we'd gotten what we wanted. After all, for us, it was a logical extension of what was already happening.

Same with the kids, babyboomers felt the need to control their lives and had no compunction or regret in doing so. Later, that fact was not lost on more recent generations and they've since honed the practice into a fine art.

Clearly, this is a grossly simplified explanation of what is a long and rich set of facts but you'll get the gist.

Nevertheless, we babyboomers should not blame our parents for seemingly the sins they endowed us with, for after the bad times and wars they'd experienced they wanted us kids to have a better life and they only did what they thought best for us.

Bless them.
