CLASSIC.COM | 2 Roles: Software Engineer (Python) / Senior Software Engineer (Elixir) | Remote (Eastern Timezone) | Full Time | https://www.classic.com

We are building CLASSIC.COM a comprehensive platform for classic, collectible, and rare automobiles. As a leader in our vertical, our platform serves millions of users, and we are seeking two Software Engineers to help take our systems to the next level.

The Software Engineer (Python) will work in our Acquisition Team, which is responsible for connecting with 3rd party auction houses, dealers, and venues to bring their inventory into our system and performing additional enrichment to build our database of over a million classic cars. More details: https://www.classic.com/insights/now-hiring-software-enginee...

The Senior Software Engineer (Elixir) will work in our Experience Team, which builds the complete experience for our customers. You'll use Phoenix + LiveView to build fast, modern, and efficient user experiences, and help continue to roll out Elixir to the rest of the organization. More details: https://www.classic.com/insights/now-hiring-senior-software-...

If you reach out from Hacker News, please mention that in the subject line or email body!

Both roles are full remote, we do have flexibility regarding country, however there may be some countries we're not equipped to hire in. Though these roles are full time, we're also available to do contract type roles if necessary. Not interested in any recruitment help.

Tritium is an IDE for corporate lawyers. Draft Word docs, review PDFs, redline all in a single application. It's written in Rust using a modified version of egui. Immediate mode has some interesting tradeoffs that I'd love to discuss on here. Also the web/desktop dichotomy presents a lot of interesting opportunities and challenges where data governance is concerned. I'd love your thoughts or to share mine!

I'm not a customer, but having seen the workflows lawyers go through with documents this product would be extremely useful. I suspect your challenge will be that most laywers are likely risk averse, and would hesitate to put any important changes through something that is not well vetted. I wonder if there's a way to combat that by keeping your product compatible with their usual format, therefor making it a less risky product to try?

Timely posting! I've been inspired by some recent... large gaps in data at work (silent analytics processing failures) to build a service called QueryCanary. It's a surprisingly powerful but simple tool that lets you define scheduled SQL checks to run against your database, and then checks those results for anomalies, variances, and other issues.

Really hoping to get some early feedback on this tool, I've been using it for two production sites for about a week now and I've already discovered (at work) that we've had the 2nd largest user signup day, and that we deployed a change that inaccurately tracked a specific metric. Check it out at https://querycanary.com

I'm working on a workflow automation tool that lets devs write workflows in simple yaml files, and then deploy them to the cloud _or_ on premise. Each workflow is a set of actions and a trigger that can transform data, make api calls, run AI models, or really anything (via docker!). Each step relies on the output of the last step, and the workflow framework is engineering to be declarative, testable, and versioned. Similar to GitHub actions, but for *anything*. Think webhook to slack, email to support ticket, nightly aws backup & restore, mirror a file each night, etc.

Can I use plausible in a desktop application? I would like to have an idea of exactly which versions of an open source desktop app I maintain are being actively used so I know what to pay attention and invest efforts as I would like my users to be constantly migrating forward - we do have like 20 years of backwards compatibility so we push things forward very slowly.

I was able to do it pretty easily with a mobile app, should be just as easy on desktop. You could even register custom “pages” for various parts of the desktop app.

Fun stuff, got through all the levels but the difficulty only really scales on the last level!

Really enjoy working with bits & bytes in Elixir. The syntax looks weird at first but pattern matching against an incoming message via individual bytes is very nice. I've found the gen_tcp / gen_udp stuff's documentation to be a little hard to grok as most of it only gives deep in the Erlang modules but once you "get it" you really get it. It plays very nicely with GenServer's too for super reliable, fault tolerant, tcp/udp acceptor clients. Thanks for the article, this will be a good resource for everyone to learn more about gen_tcp/udp directly!

Sure, this question's probably pretty basic. Why draw it out with paths and all that instead of something like the following? Do SVG text elements not scale well?

    <svg>
      <text class="logo">Y</text>
    </svg>
Or even just <span class="logo">Y</span> with the style providing color and border.

And the arrows could be text too: 🞁 and 🞃.

Just curious about why even make them images, given the note that "everything else is text, and scaled perfectly!"

clone1018 · 2 years ago
Unsure why, but the arrow examples you have there show up as unicode code blocks for me in Firefox on a Mac. Probably one of the reasons not to use them like that!
