Kulipa | Backend Engineer | London | ONSITE

We issue Visa & Mastercard cards not backed by a bank. Instead we use stablecoins held in non custodial wallets.

This type of service is crucial for many people in places like Argentina, Colombia, Nigeria, Turkey, where inflation soars and sheltering in foreign currency is hard and often impossible.

Down the line, we want to take card payment settlement time down from days to minutes, which will remove a huge and expensive inefficiency in the card scheme.

We are headed by an ex-Mastercard, Google, Meta, and Binance team. Still very small: 5 people on the engineering team. We intend to continue growing small and senior. Our current team is skewed heavily towards senior with two former L7s from Meta/Google.

We have raised a seed early this year and are seconds from going live with first cards.

Looking for senior, passionate engineers in London.

Fun is subjective. I think Python is fun, also at scale. I also think it has a pretty decent package management system with Poetry.
I've spent time reading some old baking books and looking at recipes, thinking I would discover some amazing technique, ingredient, or recipe that would be a game changer. What I discovered was that baking 50 to 200 years ago was primitive and offers very little other than some interesting history. Modern baking ingredients, techniques, and equipment are at such a higher level that there is little usefulness found in these old publications.

I would imagine the same is true for cooking. Our ingredients, equipment (such as temperature control), and techniques are so much better than these old ways of doing things, they just can't compare when it comes to taste and quality. Cooking and baking are sciences that have come a long way and are remarkably better than they have ever been. There is no reason to cook with poisons or questionable practices just for nostalgia's sake.

Fond memories. Look up also Crimson Editor from the same period, great editor.
I just checked the total cost estimates for the two closest 4-year public universities to where I live. They are both around $35k. These estimates do include costs like food and housing.

Tuition+fees+books alone are about $14k and $17k, plus an additional $3k for health insurance (which is semi-mandatory; my employer provided health-insurance does not meet the requirements to waive this, so if my kids were to go there, they would be required to buy it).
same BUT my 16G ram is not enough and disk goes full.
That is unfortunate. Mine is 2am and it has been that way for 3 decades. It is a pain in the ass because I only sleep well at the weekend but then my mornings are gone and family give no end of grief about being lazy.

6am is a whole new ball game. Not sure how I could deal with that.
> But as a practical matter, getting enough calories from granny smith apples to get fat is not feasible.

Sure, that's exactly what Big Apple wants you to believe.

> On the other hand, you might have a shot if you developed a hankering for honeycrisps. More sugar, less fiber, way less protein.

This seems equally ridiculous to me—who wants to eat more than two honeycrisps in a sitting? And that's seriously pushing it, especially compared to basically any other sugary food (including, say, juice and rice). At least use "apple pie" to make this believable.
Yawn. I wish these talks would start at 303 not 101. (Sorry Paul Graham).

I use development paradigms as so:

Functional functions to handle the things they can do

Procedural parts for those needing … procedures (more complex multi part workflow portions.)

Class object wrappers for persistent encapsulation.

All in the SAME lib include, by feature.

Not everything gets a class. Most things need procedures. I don’t build code from Lincoln logs, I build code from coherent abstract entity relationships.

You just can’t “create a document” in such systems. Checks, profile configuration fetching, templates, workflows requirements (what kind of document exactly?) etc. happen. Future proof with procedures. Make a composite embodiment if you need a class.

I do criticize developers who do not separate out FUNCTIONAL behaviors into their own atomic function. Those who do not know separating concerns are not senior programmers.

Write functional functions at the top of everything to achieve specific behavioral requirements. You never know who will want to parse_someFormat (yes, I just mixed case styles.) Or someFormat_parase. There will always be a different way.

Asking why functional programming isn’t the norm is like asking why we aren’t all ninjas or monks. We have modernized and enjoy our leisure.
My exact same sentiment. My day got a little darker after reading this.
What ever was the "luster"? It depends on what you thought YC was. Everything else it did or could do aside: if you're building a company that is going to need to raise funds for the business model to work, YC is still the most straightforward path to doing a high-dollar syndicated unpriced seed round, which is a funding model that YC more or less pioneered.
Obviously ask your doctor, but it would be more accurate to say that it interferes with most medication, with just a few that it does not.

Grapefruit knocks out key metabolizing agents in the gut that is responsible for breaking down a lot of organic molecules. For this reason, the vast majority of medications are given out in relatively large dosages in order to survive the intestines and get to the bloodstream. But if you eat grapefruit, you get that full dosage in your blood.

For some medication that doesn’t matter. Usually for prescription meds that is the exception. For most prescription meds, getting 5X the blood dose can range from debilitating to lethal.

If you take a daily pill, imagine what might happen if you swallowed a week’s worth at once. If that gives you pause, don’t mix with grapefruit.
> If you think you want to run Linux, don't buy hardware from a company that views it as a threat to their business model, simple as that.

I am extremely fond of Pixelmator -- I bought the original maybe twelve years ago, and Pixelmator Pro as soon as it came out.

I had access to Photoshop for years before that, but the UI always pushed me away, with too big a hurdle just to get started. Pixelmator got me over that hump, and I never looked back.

It's a great product that I use pretty much daily. I hope Apple runs with it and does great things.

I didn't know iDVD also came from Astarte. But DVD Studio Pro definitely came from Astarte. And then of course it was discontinued.
Based on the Wikipedia article linked in that comment, it refers to papyrus fragments specifically, the most recent one being from aprox. the IXth century. [1]

More recent texts were copied into more durable materials:

> By the beginning of the fourth century A.D., the most important books began to be manufactured in parchment, and works worth preserving were transferred from papyrus to parchment. [2]

By the way, I don't know enough about history or archaeology to agree or disagree with the comment, I just looked up the sources because I was also confused by the phrasing.

Do you disagree with Intel's stated Tjunction, or disagree that Intel is capable of controlling clocks to remain within its stated thermal limits?

Like even with Intel chips that actually died early en masse (13th and 14th gen), the issue wasn't temperature.

Something is fishy when the top two claim to be Android phones running Ryzen chips, and the third is allegedly a 13GHz Core i3.
It looks like for some reason Firefox isn't being served the same source as Safari or Chrome. In those browsers, the filename is wrapped in <center>, <a>, and <tt> elements, and followed by <hr> <br>.

But in the version of the HTML that Firefox receives, all that is missing and the filename is just some text that ends up immediately in front of the first line of code.
minor nitpick, but it's not ownership so much as location. Sometimes the ISP will own the equipment, but it will be located on the customer premises rather than the ISP premises. It's an important distinction as you can't just rock up and do stuff to it.

I was super into this sort of thing until I hit triangle clipping concerns in homogeneous coordinate space.

Filling the triangle and spinning the cube are the perfect level of difficulty if you want to get your hands a bit dirty and achieve that sense of accomplishment. Anything beyond this starts to feel like a very risky time-reward tradeoff.
It's probably also got better cooling. And you get some ordinary USB sockets as well!

The coordination and omnipresence of the western media is the most impressive thing I’ve ever experienced. Once you catch them all lying about incontestable truths in unison, the charade falls apart.

Americans grow up in this soup. They even have rebellious media companies that say edgy things, but all tow the party line. It’s genuinely incredible.
> We aimed to assess the relationship of objectively measured sleep regularity with risk for all-cause mortality, and mortality from cardiometabolic causes and cancer, in a large cohort (N = 60 977) who wore accelerometer devices for 1 week.

They look at one week of sleep data and then check mortality records about 10 to 15 years later. It's hard to argue a causative effect between one week of bad sleep and death potentially 10+ years out.

Obviously there's an implication that people with terrible sleep regularity in that one week snapshot had terrible sleep regularity chronically, which in turn had a causative effect on mortality, but we have to make a couple of deductive jumps to get to that conclusion. I'd really like to see the same study with longer term sleep data.

There is so much market up for grabs. Most companies will fail, but the ones that succeed can win really big. And the surface area is so much larger than attempting a non-AI company since the advantages are potentially huge.

I don't get why you were downvoted to oblivion. A perspective from someone who actually used Asahi is very valuable, so thanks for sharing.

You're definitely right that having a usable system is not just about supporting first-party hardware. Linux on its own is a huge mess of different components that all somehow need to work together, and it's a miracle of engineering that it works as well as it does, even on well-supported hardware. I can't imagine how difficult it must be getting all of this to work on hardware that requires reverse engineering. It seems practically impossible to me.
Neither do most pedestrians. Let's be real, most Washingtonians don't know most of the traffic laws. This state really badly needs better education in that sense.

Most people also don't know that you're not supposed to enter a crosswalk when the "DONT WALK/red person" is blinking, or the countdown timer is running. It is supposed to be treated like a yellow. Finish crossing the street, but do not enter the crosswalk. Though I suppose that stepping on the gas is how drivers treat a yellow also!

I recall watching a documentary on Discovery way back, where they followed some multiday ultramaraton competitors. They'd draw blood samples, measure vitals and have them answer mental acuity questionnaires each time they stopped for food or sleep.

The competitors limited themselves to power naps, max 30 minutes though often just ten minutes.

The scientist found that all the physical adverse effects of sleep deprivation were negated by the short power naps. Though IIRC the mental acuity did drop some as the event progressed.

Been at least 15 years since I saw the program so might misrember some parts, but I clearly recall the physical effects of the power naps.

Keep in mind these were quite fit athletes though.

You are willfully taking more away from that than was stated. Such a fallacy is a favorite trope among science denialists, and those who would distort the objectivity of research for misinformed (and/or dishonest) ends. I don’t know what, if any, specific motivations you have, but I think it’s worth pointing out.
I forgot to call out that Matrix(protocol) seems like a worthwhile call out in looking at useful core technologies.
I'm kind of incredulous at this if I'm being honest. How can you register to vote by accident? Every form I've seen a copy of asks if you're a citizen and gives you a warning about that. Do you have a copy of the form or screenshot you're referring to that makes this easy to do by accident?
You left out that they would also cost ~double per unit of performance. And that when Nvidia claims to be better for graphics and video, they can back those claims (albeit unfairly, some might say), whereas Apple marketing appears to avoid any price/value comparisons. So, I guess, even when you're dressing Nvidia up to sound ugly for a hypothetical, they still sound better than Apple.
> Long term, how do you intend to sustain the service if users become dependent on it and need to use it at scale? ...

Is what I was responding to. Wasn't criticizing the posted product implementation choices or demanding a rewrite. I see how it could be read that way, which is unfortunate.

Parent comment asked a number of questions that all suggested a server was a requirement. If scale becomes any issue for a service like this, there are approaches other than shutting down the service due to server / maintenance costs.

China has much more freedom than I was led to believe growing up. The restrictions seem pretty neatly constrained to things that are genuinely threats to public safety, “social harmony”, or national security.

HVM3's Optimal Atomic Linker (With Polarization)
For some value of “new”, anyway. I remember attending a talk on how GPU programming was cool and how GPGPU was the next big thing—in the mid 2000s, as a middle schooler. I don’t believe CUDA was a thing yet (looking at Wikipedia, the first release might have been several months later?), instead Cg and NV_fragment_program4 were the new hotness.
From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42016931, it looks like M4 is very much still in the lead.

It's also not just the CPU: the laptops themselves are simply phenomenal. I have never had a x86 laptop that's this much of a genuine pleasure to use (ignoring macOS, which is my least-favourite operating system). Some of the newer Windows laptops are ahead, but they're still worse in at least one metric.
