Cargado | (Senior) Software Engineers | REMOTE (US) | Full-time

Hiring for multiple roles!

What do we do?

- Cargado is an early stage technology startup revolutionizing how U.S.-Mexico cross-border logistics is executed. So far, we’ve focused on helping brokers with freight find the carriers best suited to haul that freight. Read more about our current products here - https://www.freightwaves.com/news/exclusive-cargado-launches...

Why are we going to 100x?

- The TAM here is massive. Mexico has recently taken over the #1 spot as the United States’ leading trading partner. Laredo, TX is the number one port in the United States importing and exporting everything we need and use everyday. We’re going after that with an incredible team that brings a unique blend of tech experience (Amazon, Google, Microsoft) and freight experience (Convoy, Coyoted, Flexport, and more). Just check out our founders, Matt (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattpsilver/) and Rylan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/rylanhawkins/).

Freight seems boring though. Why would I want to build software with Cargado?

- This is an industry starved for technological innovation. We’re solving problems that have never been solved before and have the opportunity to create massive impact for individuals and the world at large, since any efficiency gain can be huge when you’re talking about driving around an empty tractor trailer at 8 mpg. Additionally, we’re committed to building world-class technology and invest in learning, dev ex, and planning/design to make that happen.

Sure, but it takes money to make money. How will you survive long enough to change the world?

- We’ve raised nearly $10M in venture capital so far (from Ironspring, Primary, Zenda, Wischoff, and more), and before even hitting 1 year we’ve achieved strong revenue from a customer base of over 100 brokers. Taken together, that means we have a diversified source of income in addition to a strong balance sheet.

Our tech stack includes: Typescript, React, NextJS, PostgreSQL, AWS

I suppose this lends itself to a hybrid scenario. I suspect most mature robotics projects would have both types of computation. Likely bare metal or RTOS as the default, with delegation to GPOS computer for high bandwidth, and high computation tasks such as CV.

I also imagine distributed computing (for example: over CAN or another bus) would be a useful pattern.
Even if that were true, it wouldn't mean that Yandex would have the ability to tie queries to accounts.

I don't read it regularly, but The Economist is a great source that covers pretty much every corner of the world. In fact I don't subscribe because its just a firehose, and I just can't keep up with the internal squabbling of parties all over the world.

I went to check to see if its available online- even via my local library, but it seems The Economist was pulled from major online sites around 2023 due to their pricing model. So I can't verify if this was covered. That said, what information has trickled out points to this being a big surprise, so there may not have been storm clouds brewing that could have foretold this.

Edit: Got past the paywall on the site and did a search and there appears to be no articles published that would have predicted an issue like this: https://www.economist.com/search?q=south+korea&sort=date&pag...

Part of Gage Art Academy's mission is to create working artists. Students learn about (and struggle with) how to get paid. Stuff like how to price their works, balancing one's own artistic expression with making stuff that sells, how to pull off an exhibit, etc.

The GObject system for all it's faults serves a purpose. Similar to COM in Windows it allows mapping of higher level languages to libraries. Without it there wouldn't be all the bindings we have to Python, JavaScript, Vala and Rust today. I wouldn't say it was poorly thought out so much as mismatched with it's user's typical uses and expectations.
In both cases, you're trying to figure out what actually playing the game looks like.
What are the other advantages exactly besides tool chain? A lot of people using Rust where the could have just used Go or another language that is memory safe and actually productive. Maybe I am just being a hater because I grew up on C/C++ but I know for a fact "Rustaceans" are getting out of control. Approaching zealot territory for sure. The time people spend fighting the Rust compiler for a project, they could have just written secure C.. That is just my personal opinion. I am not saying Rust shouldn't exist. I am just saying it isn't some big universal answer to all security and systems programming issues..
But conservative autocracies have traditionally been America's allies, like, erm, South Korea during the cold war. So same old, same old?

I guess it might piss off China though if they do go truly looney.

I haven't really gotten into "smart home" stuff, but I can definitely relate to the idea that the modern tech landscape can often create a ton of busy work.

Just look at my TV, for example. The way TV used to work was that you turned it on and the TV was on. Now, even though I've got a relatively friendly setup with an Nvidia Shield, a "user" still has to navigate through some menus to get what they want to watch on the TV.

And of course, every so often, one of the various streaming services will log out, which will take some manual intervention to get back up and running. There are three TVs in my home, so between them all I'm playing tech support on a TV at least once or twice a month.

And don't even get me started on the rigamarole involved with getting my kids set up with Minecraft. Servers, Realms subs, linking Nintendo and Microsoft accounts... I don't know how anyone without some tech in their background can even navigate that mess.
There's no reason it needs to be hard in my branch before it gets merged, though.

And with the way Git stores information, sometimes you don't have any option but to rewrite history. e.g. when something changes on a committer identity, you have to rewrite all of their commits since that information is denormalized.
The last martial law in South Korea was because of a coup d'état in 1979. No one can believe this is happening.
It's intentional on the part of the journalist to mislead readers by making the number seem bigger. An off-by-one error is a small price to pay for more clicks.

I think WW3 has already started, it's just not evenly distributed yet.
That may be the case, but the reason for the coup seems to be domestically motivated and claims of foreign influence seem to be made up to create an "enemy within" scenario to justify the coup.

I’ll admit that I struggle to read their Byzantine pricing tables but that is $15 per 1k searches, right?
Switching to a multiple doesn't change the confusion either. A 10x increase, is x + 10x in the same way a 1K% increase would be x + 10x.
So interestingly you see this sort of thing play out in online media.

- Youtuber X has a runaway successful video/s.

- Seeing the cashflow from that video, they think "Hey, I could probably duplicate this!"

- When that duplication fails, they decide "You know what, maybe I just need to make a lot of videos"

- When that doesn't bring in the expected income and/or leads to burnout they think "You know what, I think I need some outside help to make me see my blindspots".

And, of course, invariably when that outside help comes in, so does the slop. The outside help does not care about quality, they care about getting money in through the door. That often involves hack and slashing all efforts at quality, shilling out endlessly, and some real questionable decisions when it comes to employment.

Now, of course, the creator is still responsible for what their company becomes. But, money is money and a creator/owner is just more likely to like easymode income (for themselves) vs duplicating the efforts of a prior period.
But then the bitcoin could be traced back to Coinbase, where they probably used their bank information to buy it.
All definitions of "enemy", are views "from inside a bubble".

I suppose if you have people shooting and bombing you, "enemy" is a fair label to put on them. Those are the only types of "enemies" that are the same whether the view is from inside or outside the bubble.

But most of these people talking about their "enemies", are not in those situations at all.

One useful perk of owning a domain is that I can now give a different email address to everyone. When they misuse, I can remove them from my inbox very easily.
You can pay with crypto, if that helps.

If the government really wanted to, they can just get SSL private keys from CAs and decrypt all the traffic no matter who you search with, anyway. It's probably only a matter of time...

This is the traditional role of regulation, yes. Note that if what they were filter out for were things like union sympathies, it would be illegal.
It'd be nice if there were a GUI way to rebase by dragging links in a graphical view of the DAG. This program seems to allow reordering commits, but it's not clear how well it handles the more complex cases.
There are some open source options that come close to what vmware's offerings could do, but virtualbox for sure ain't that. It has an extremely limited feature set compared to other offerings in this space. For example, it is mainly intended to manage VMs on a single host. Most organizations looking at commercial offerings have multiple hosts (or racks, or even datacenters) they want to manage. Apples are much more similar to oranges than vmware is to virtualbox.

This article makes no sense whatsoever once you know that there is such a thing as the SpaceX Starship. And it’s not like in 2023 nobody had a clue that the Starship will be built.

As far as I know, const traits are still on track.

This looks like a nice tool, but I agree with GP because as a reviewer I don't care about a "clean" commit history in a branch I'm reviewing. I care about what's changed, and imo the request description/annotations can describe that in plain language better than a commit history can tell a story.
> conservative autocracies have traditionally been America's allies, like, erm, South Korea during the cold war. So same old, same old?

"President Yoon has taken an overwhelmingly pro-US policy compared to previous presidents," and his "PPP is fiercely anti-communist and advocates a hawkish policy against North Korea" [1].

On the other hand, "conservatives in South Korea place more importance on economic pragmatism than liberals, so they try to avoid friction with China on Cross-Strait relations, Korean culture and Korean history" (Id.).

Everything is based on trust. How do you know that your phone is not sending your browser history once per month at random time at night, along with random legitimate-looking service?
The rest of the replies here seem to be personal attitudes and opinions.

Objectively, the state-promoted bogeymen in the USA are consistently Iran, China, DPRK, and increasingly Russia.

I just spent a month in China and the disparity between what we are told in western media and what is actually going on is substantial, but not in the ways I expected.
Well that is contrary to what is stated in the article/book.
Thank you for the suggestion. I actually very much agree with you.

I've recently been updating my stack in other areas and have been utilising "Getting Started" or "Quick Start" sections a lot and thought that we're actually not making that easy enough or easy at all.

I'll look into incorporating your suggestion soon.

If you're up to it, you can open an issue in our repo and then I can ping you when that's done.
No, like five people in the west were convinced of that and they spent all their free time screeching about it on Twitter.

Everyone else knew the difference between masks and literal martial law.
With a nuclear armed neighbor sharing a language and a heavily armed border with paranoid leaders, of course it’s still a thing.

> "Old stuff is better" tendency which sees vintage tech as somehow more credible, ethical, characterful, expressive, and individual than modern tech

Well stuff produced at 1/10000th the number of units sold of, say, a modern iPhone or Android phone is obviously more "individual". I mean: I see a dude driving an AC Cobra vs one driving a mass produced chinese EV... They're both cars but that's about it. That'd be Hank Moody driving an old beaten up Porsche 911 Carrera in Californication. I mean: for one reason or another, Hank Moody is driving an old beaten up Porsche and not a Hyundai. And the series shows him as liking his car and liking to drive his car.

Where's the lack of use in someone daily driving an AC Cobra or an old Porsche? Where's the lack of use in someone using an old camera to take pictures?

> It's still consumerism - primarily about ownership display, not use

Someone takes his old camera, goes out at night, snaps a picture of the sunset, and goes back home. Where's the ownership of display?

I don't post picture or my cars online. I take one out at night and go for a drive on desert roads. Where's the ownership of display? On HN?

Sure, everything is still an object. But then everything is consumerism, unless you make your clothes yourself (funnily enough my mother-in-law knits clothes).

Regarding ethics: I think something can be said about older tech. For example an old "dumb" 1080p projector both gives that "movie theather" feeling (mine had a gigantic diagonal no TV could match) and it's neither listening to everything you say nor sending your data to the motherload nor constantly updating apps for seemingly no reason nor can it be bricked remotely. Nor can it be hacked.

I mean: there's at least something in vintage tech I think.

P.S: I'm currently in the process of buying a "vintage" HP Z series workstation that I'll use a small server but that's because I want shitload of cheap ECC and huge, big, cheap SAS drives... And it's going to get lots of love and use. I may blog about it if I want to display ownership though.
> if the opposition is controlling the parliament, isn't that the majority and isn't the opposition controlling the president?

You're confusing prime ministers in parliamentary democracies, e.g. the UK with presidents [1].

Yeah, we kinda knew it was you. We were giving you a gentle nudge to not spam your updates every few days, as that is not what we do round here. If you need us to be more explicit... re-posts of ideas tend to go better every few months at best, not days. Even better, build out your ideas, and then do a "Show HN" to let people test it out.
Is this "a new generation discovers DSLs"? I had 15 minutes of fame inside IBM in the 80s by saying "The good news about FORTH is you can extend the parser to create your own Domain Specific Language. The bad news is the guy down the hallway already has."

There are a couple things going on here:

1. DSLs aren't "bad." But they may require more forethought than you typically have had to apply to typical programming tasks.

2. Doesn't perl6 do something similar? It was about the only thing about perl6 I liked. Insert reference to your favourite dynamic grammar system: icon? forth? some lisps?

3. something that is sorta new to think about is SQL is supposed to be a declarative language and behind the scenes there's a planner that knows what to do to put a particular record in a particular state. And yeah, you're doing something similar, changing the semantic rules to produce an AST, which you're still using with previously coded code to determine the semantics of the thing you wrote in the new grammar. But that's essentially what the OP said here.

4. I agree with the author that maybe PEGs aren't the most awesome thing in the world, but they seem to be well understood and actually doing something is better than trying to mzke things perfect.

5. I liked the author's write-up, but as an old programmer take umbrage at the idea that changing your parser in the middle of a program is "crazy", we used to do this... well maybe not all the time... but with a greater frequency than we do today.
South Korea is dying. It has the lowest birth rate in the world: ~0.78 children per woman. If you want to know what that means, take 100 people (50 men, 50 women). In 3 generations there are... 6 people. That's population collapse.

Every developed nation is barreling towards this fate. It's what end stage capitalism and 5 chaebols-in-a-trenchcoat as a government looks like.

The only thing preventing population collapse in the West is immigration. Any country that wants to maintain a particular ethnic majority is doomed.

So why is South Korea like this? Because of the demands of work, the government being beholden to the chaebols, the demands on women to both work, have children and largely be responsible for raising them without work suffering. There's a vicious cycle of entrenched misogyny and women essentially opting out of this system (ie the 4B movement).

Add all this up and you have a country that is bound for crisis after crisis. You cannot look at this current crisis without understanding the broader context.

The endless pursuit of profits will quite literally destroy a country if you let it.
If you have created a hobby project database, you have the skills to learn how to query it - it is probably part of your hobby and fun. If not, and if you do not want to open source it to get community support, you are better off cutting out the database part and choosing other technologies.

At work, the situation should not be so different. If your manager cannot provide you with the means to maintain the database according to the business needs, you / your boss / your team / your business / your company have a problem and should better choose technologies that are manageable and/or for which you have enough resources.
That's an interesting perspective. Out of curiosity, who from the US do you have in mind for providing Korea the blueprint?
Yes, but Orwell wasn't really writing _about_ the UK, you need to look at the context and background of the work, which is the rise of Stalinism and the fear of that brand of totalitarianism taking over.

It’s a hedge for ifwhen things get difficult over Taiwan.

The USA without cheap Chinese manufacturing is basically dead in the water. It is approximately unfathomable how much of the comfortable and cheap way of life enjoyed in the US is directly dependent on trade with China and mindbendingly cheap Chinese manufacturing labor.

The ~most valuable company in the country is 100% beholden to Chinese manufacturing to make the most popular product that makes all of their money. They are doing their best to replicate manufacturing capacity in India but you can’t make 50,000 iPhones an hour without years of build-up and thousands upon thousands of trained staff.

If China invades Taiwan, the USG is basically game theoretically forced to make Americans endure some significant hardships until a new metastability is achieved.
The argument, which one can choose to agree with or not, is that this allows them to scale BOH pay with how busy the night is. That's similar to how tipping works for FOH staff, but at least in my state BOH staff are not allowed to share in any tip pool.
Absolutely loved this game. I used to try and fly an F4 Phantom through the canyon at top speed. My brother created a short film "Attack of the Killer Christmas Trees". Endless fun.
It isn't unrealistic unfortunately. It's not unusual for a few people to rack up $300, especially with drinks involved. Many states (e.g. Texas) have sales tax, so already +8.25%. Add on an 18% automatic gratuity, then tip another 15% unknowingly and you're paying $440 for your $300 worth of food...
I like the slight fuzzy look it has. Captured that orange monitor feel really well.
I don't think it's fair to call that a trick of Le Guin's. She does tell the reader the first time it's relevant, which is fairly early on. In any case it's explicit in the text. Which is very different from the sort post facto declarations other fantasy authors have made about their characters in response to fandom theories, which does feel sly to me.
