hypcloud | Fullstack developer | Berlin, Germany | Remote (Germany)

hypcloud is the go-to platform for commercial real estate financing in Germany. We help real estate developers to find financing: we provide them access to a wide network of lenders matching their project and need, and the collaboration and communication tools to allow them to manage all negotiations in one place.

Our app is mainly built with Elixir/Phoenix, Vuejs (typescript) and Graphql. We're now introducing Phoenix Liveview for building banking tools. We’re seeking a Fullstack Developer who is curious, collaborative, and loves sharing knowledge. You’ll be working with Phoenix and LiveView to build features on the backend, Vue.js on the frontend, and how to integrate and/or transition between the two. Your role will involve the full software development lifecycle, from design and development to testing and deployment.

Please email your CV at jobs@hypcloud.de, with the subject line "Fullstack Developer Application – [Your Name]" and tell us briefly about a recent project where you used Elixir and what kind of position you're looking for.

More info at https://hypcloud.de & https://hypcloud.jobs.personio.de/job/1702228?display=en.
I feel like the general issue here is that even when dark patterns like this are outlawed, who is going to go out of their way to file a lawsuit and take it to court?

This is a great point.

One more: Debugging `.map()` is also much harder than a for loop.

What I love about a two-by-two matrix is that it provides a clear, structured way to visualise and analyse complex relationships between two sets of variables or factors.

Considering Language Models & Conversational AI, by breaking down a problem into four distinct categories, it provides a simplified view to make it easier to grasp concepts. I came across these diagrams in the OpenAI & Ragas documentation.
I believe the rules of the road are a lot simpler when you drive on the left. Is it just me? Without any evidence to support this statement, I came to believe that driving on the left is actually safer.

I agree it’s going to be really hard to do, but I do think there’s an opportunity there for someone to make something that helps companies run Postgres at scale reliably.

I think most companies aren’t really working to appeal the higher end of the market when trying to be “Planetscale for Postgres” - the focus seems to mainly be easy developer experience and faster iterations for startups
I carefully gave examples of where ZKP can be useful outside of blockchains.

> Like they don't use blockcrap for interbank settlements, asset tracking, notary, etc.

Yes. So far the only way to track real world assets on a blockchain is to have a trusted third party (or third parties) that connect whatever your blockchain says to the real world.

But if you have that trusted third party, you might as well have them run the database that keeps track of who owns what. No need for a blockchain.

ZKP is different in the sense that it's one of only a few things to come out of the 'crypto' world that has at least a _chance_ of being useful in the real world. One day. Perhaps.

(Cryptography in general is enormously useful. Have a look at HTTPS for one example. When I just say 'crypto' I mean specifically everything to do with the blockchain ecosystem. So far the only real applications of crypto / blockchains that I've seen are gambling (generously called 'speculation' or 'investment') and ransomware payments. Cryptocurrencies aren't even good for buying drugs on the black market so far.)

In any case, ZKP is still very immature. But we are very fortunate that the crypto-people are generously funding this area of essentially pure mathematics research.

Cause Amazon was great.
The website was simple to use when everything else was a mess. The support was perfect, you could get a refund in five minutes no questions asked, the delivery was reliable.

Today's Amazon is not the same beast.
It's not just 'offered'. It's stuffed in your face at every opportunity like a Jehovah's witness you can't get rid of. They're also trying to trick you in signing up.
That is absolutely a supported configuration. Don't make statements you have zero expertise in.
Thatcher did want it to be a road tunnel but at least common sense prevailed.
They were good once: simple website, authentic brandname products, good prices.

Then they started allowing third party sellers. Then they abandoned the phase to just grow and break-even. Then they trotted out Prime and dark patterns.

And now Amazon and its website are lucrative for Amazon but crap for customers.
Not to move the goal posts too much, but when I am searching a huge Python or Java code base from IntelliJ, I use a mixture of symbol and text search. One good thing about text search, you get hits from comments.
It was a surprise to me, moving from London to Brno in Czechia, to find that both mobile and fixed/home internet was both quicker and much cheaper in this former Communist country. The first house I lived didn't even have a POTS landline installed at all; they skipped that tech being rolled out.

It was a bigger surprise to me, moving to work for a German company in Prague a few years later and thus visiting Germany for work regularly, that German telecomms was much poorer: weaker mobile coverage, slower and much more expensive Internet, and relatively, very few public wifi hotspots.

(I am told that the latter is because of onerous legal restrictions on content that may be downloaded; businesses are liable for anything downloaded by customers on their premises. In comparison, in Czech law it's legal to download copyright material, it's sharing it that's illegal.)
And it ain't 1990 any more, for new users to accept using a command line after you explain "this is just a different dialect of the same old 'C:\>', that you're familiar with from MS-DOS...".
Well, for what it's worth, Rust's linter clippy likes to warn you about using different versions of the same crate. I think the warning is mostly formulated in terms of helping you reduce compile times, but your concerns about mutability might also be justified.

I have mixed thoughts on this too. Fortunately grep (rg in my case) easily handles it:

> AIUI that's the rationale behind Apple's True Tone thingy, aiming to compensate for that.

No idea what "AUIU" is, but yes, generally displays should do automatic white balance like iPhones do. I don't know why most Android phones don't seem to do it (pretty sure mine doesn't), and generally TVs/monitors also don't do it. (The required color temperature sensor can't be that expensive?)
Maybe I'm missing something, how is RSS dead?
What's amazing is that human and animal muscle power used to be the primary source of mechanical power in human civilization with plants as the energy source. If you were to power an electric generator using a human, you would at most get 200W of sustained power. Today you can buy a tiny solar panel that costs less than such a generator and it will produce power expending zero human effort.

Meanwhile the competing energy source, fossil fuels, is maybe 10 times cheaper than generating fossil fuels directly with the help of solar power, except the former took millions of years to form and will be depleted within a millenium, whereas the latter could, at least in theory, produce the same quantity we consume per day today, every day.
They absolutely will. It's all the same.
First of all, this isn't true.
In case the prices drop negative, the solar plant will be disconnected from the grid remotely and the solar plant owner will get what he had gotten if the solar plant had not been disconnected from the grid.

Second, subsidizing once expensive but mostly cleanenergy production technology, allowed renewable energy to thrive to the number 1 energy source worldwide, theoretically allowing to ditch fossil energy production completely by 2050 and stay within low risk climate warming - without significant degrowth, which otherwise would have been required for a certainty.

So no, EEG isn't a joke, but a huge win for humanity.

Not that surprising. To most people, pure RGB-blue looks a bit violet. People are used to ink (subtractive) blue more than light (additive) blue. People call the sky blue and water blue; both are closer to cyan. Most people think of a neutral blue as something like #0080ff.

VFX engineer here. Yes we used to cailbrate monitors and work in the dark.

However one of the key people that built our colour pipeline was also colour blind, so its not actually a requirement, so long as you use the right tools.

Most people aren't that sensitive to colour, especially if its out of context. a minority of people aren't that good at relative chromaticity as well (as in is this colour bluer/greener/redder than that one) But a lot of people are.

Language affects how you perceive colour as well.

But to say the experiment is flawed I think misses the nuance, which is capturing how people see colour _in the real world_. Sure some people will have truetone on, or some other daily colour balance fiddling. But thats still how people see the world as it is, rather than in isolation.
But more importantly that Google and any other company doesn't actually care about Palestine, or Israel, or any other social issues that its workers or consumers might have. They just care about making money and selling their services to whoever pays the most, and the social issues they pretend to care about is just pandering which stay up as long as it doesn't interfere with their money.

No.

> No, it means an exceptionally muscular build

Maybe in some places but north-west UK just means "kinda robust/big/thick" (e.g. could be a bouncer or wrestler) - there's no requirement for "exceptionally muscular". Akin of what kids these days use "absolute unit" for.

(quibbles aside, I agree with you - GP is wrong, not even slightly a "brick shithouse" by any of the definitions)
Strange, I've always appreciated those £0.99 offers, and I suspect the vast majority of consumers do. It's pretty transparent and very easy to cancel, particularly in the UK.
Batteries have a technological learning curve similar to semiconductors and solar panels, but with a much bigger time constant. If my memory serves me well, then capacity per price (or was it by density?) is doubling every eight years.
Yep, like some cultures have 10+ words for different types snow while people in warmer climate will bundle them all under "snow"

95 quid is a lot, given that one delivery costs you at most 5 quid, and usually you can avoid that by having your order be over 35 quid or over 10 quid of books to qualify for free standard delivery. So there's quite a wide range of Amazon use where Prime is more expensive than pay-for-delivery-as-you-go, and I think a lot of people will fall into that category rather than the other two options of "such a frequent user that Prime is worthwhile" and "doesn't use the site at all".

How to get your first 100 customers – Simple Analytics
I'm convinced that the standard form of these text messages is wrong. A (legitimate) example I received recently read

Your CorpName verification code is 305825. Do not share this code. CorpName will never call you for this code.

It's clear CorpName is trying to defend against this exact sort of attack in the last two sentences, but it's boilerplate we've all seen many times before. Who reads it anymore? The bigger problem is unaddressed: "ABC verification code" is vague. This is security information devoid of security context.

A better written message would read,

A computer in Seattle, WA is logging into your account on the CorpName website. If this is you, enter 384909 to authorize.

Or,

A wire transfer of $300 to X has been requested using your debit card ending in 9934. To authorize the transfer, enter 468909.

I think asking people for authorization without atomically telling them what they're authorizing is properly viewed as a type of vulnerability.

Given the other commentaries here, let me say that the original post that Musk referred to is unhinged, Musk naturally had to support that crap theory, and the Independent's article gives a good idea what is going here.
I remember once, what like 15 years ago or something, I got an email from some business that I was subscribed to that I’ve been unsubscribed and refunded some money as they see I’m not using the service I signed up for or maybe forgot about it and that I should reach out to them if I’m still interested.

Can’t even imagine that happening in this day and age. In fact big companies probably covet this demographic (subscribe and forget) and go to great lengths to secure them in their webs.

Why is that significant?
So at the end, I'm shown a full-screen gradient from green to blue, with a line showing where my personal boundary between green and blue lies.

Except that when I look at that gradient, it seems to me that the actual transition lies much further to the left, roughly in the middle of the screen: i.e., I'm being told that I consider a significant range of colours to be green that, on this final page, appear to me to be quite clearly blue.
That is correct. It's brilliant!

Is this an AI summary that misattributes the author of the article to yourself?
I'm actually of the opinion, that blue-green colors like teal or turquoise are both green and blue at the same time. Basically a mixture.

Having to pick just exclusively one - blue OR green - for such colors just feels, wrong and arbitrary?

You could also make a website that shows various shades of purple - and ask people is it blue or red? Well, both! Purple is a mixture of both blue and red. Why treat teal differently than purple?
Hm, Italian speakers look like what you describe. :-)

I feel like the two massive unspoken caveats are:

2. Not reproducing their content in a way that could compete with theirs or tarnishes their identity... and there's a lot of open ongoing debate about how that principle relates to different ways of using LLMs.

Especially if…, I should say. Even vendored dependencies are a risk as NPM commits the additional sin of allowing the act of pulling a package onto the local machine for inspection to execute arbitrary code in the form of “postinstall” hooks.

Yes, I know. This was in 1980 as well. But most people smoke it for the THC. I tried Indica and it made me extremely depressed. I am a sensitive person.

Desktop systems afford far more options, of course.

> Should there be some duty to approach reality in these comments?

What is wrong comparing Odin to Rust... or Zig to Rust.. or Zig to Odin? These languages exists and should not be ignored simply for being labeled as `niche`

The previous commenter referred Rust as being stable because it was version 1.0 nearly 10 years ago.. and I responded why this does not mean as much as people think. From 1.0 to (now) 1.80.1 -- how much change has Rust gone through? I would take a guess and say A LOT! I am sure Rust will get more changes in the next 10 years!

This is why I think adding Rust to the kernel is 10 years premature. How much changes will need to be done to the Rust code in the next 10 years... I am guessing a lot. Comparing that with C, it is now going through the process of moving from C89 to C11. Once moved to C11 is unlikely to move for quite some time.

Just because I bring up Odin and make (valid) points why it is a better C.. does not imply I think it should be added to the Kernel. It is a young language (like Zig) and I think they both have an interesting future ahead of them. I am just as interested seeing their journey in the next 10 years.. not just Rust.

> I'm not sure what this says about Linus in his 30s

I am just stating that it is hard to know REALLY what Linus thinks about Rust. I use Age as an example because he is likely making decisions, whether he agrees or not, for the future of the kernel beyond himself. He wont be maintainer forever. Thats all I say/write on this.

Did you consider Neovim? You get the benefit of vim while also being able to mix in as much LSP tooling as you like. The tradeoff is that it takes some time to set up, although that is getting easier.

That won’t make LSP go any faster though. There’s still something interesting in the fact that a ripgrep of every line in the codebase can still be faster than a dedicated tool.
