Re:A formula for responsive font-size on Thursday March 14, 2024 @08:32AM (#39703068)
My favorite solution in this space remains https://www.modularscale.com/, because (like others mentioned) different device types warrant different scales, BUT ALSO changing line height and padding on a modular scale (also per device type) takes the math out of my responsibilities and puts it on the computer - where it belongs.

Caribou Coffee (a part of Panera Brands) | Sr. Software Engineer | Minneapolis, MN / Remote (US) | Full-time | https://www.cariboucoffee.com/careers/listing/sr-software-en...

At Caribou Coffee, our Digital Experience team ensures that our customers have a good time when they interact with our brand digitally (whether that's our website, mobile app or 3rd party integrations). We're a small, agile team that's half 100% remote. We build our systems API-first, and we love serverless solutions (e.g., AWS Lambda, Azure Functions). You'll work with Product Managers, Business Analysists & other engineers to define + implement the company's roadmap. We're a small crew but we make a big impact. There's a tremendous amount of satisfaction being able to sit in our coffee shops, watch customers order coffee, and take pride in the fact that you removed barriers between that person & the cup of coffee that'll make their day great.

Our tech stack: Node.js (with Quasar & Vue, though Svelte keeps tempting us as a JavaScript framework). We use a lot of Azure, but we're cloud agnostic. We're always open to hearing different technologies that would make work easier.

I'd love to submit a PR to have them move from Google Analytics to something else. Does anyone know alternatives (like what we discussed earlier this month - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23560823) that are privacy-oriented but free to open source projects?
Re:Show HN: isEven API – tell if a number is even SaaS on Saturday March 07, 2020 @03:14PM (#22513733)
This would be much easier to adopt if there was an NPM package or Rubygem to simplify our company's integration with their platform.
Good catch. Corrected.
The comments on the bottom, plus the UserVoice (https://odinsiders.uservoice.com/forums/920533-distribution-...) really emphasize how this change is impacting customers.
For the light-attached end, it is down to $10 with this like the HUZZAH ESP8266 Breakout. At that price, the LED nearly becomes the most expensive part of the setup (assuming you want anything more than a single color and/or light).

What I love about the ESP8266 + NeoPixel style setup is that it gives you control over the form factor. For example: https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-BAT-signal/

Well done! This is very impressive!!! You're 100% right that the Hue lights don't get nearly dim enough.

I'm sorry I didn't see your product sooner. More parents should know about your this - I'll make sure to spread the word whenever possible (:

Agreed about the Dash button. I've moved one of the rooms away from that to a doorbell attached to a Pi Zero. I also picked up a Voice Kit (https://aiyprojects.withgoogle.com/voice/) for $10 at Microcenter, and I'm playing with what that could offer.

If you the room is near a server you have in the house (like a Pi running Pihole), then Bluetooth buttons (like Puck.js) unlock a lot of potential for you too.

I think it depends on the age. This started several years ago to give my 4 year old an "ok to wake" light, which helps considerably with sleep training.

I'm guessing he inherited it. I'm guessing most people on this thread are in that boat.

For teaching in a class, I like https://github.com/BestBuy/api-playground. Let's you consume it and see how it is written while still having relatable content.

For better or worse, the answer is yes. Or as I said in a 12/19 tweet (https://twitter.com/ecaron/status/943292264692011009):

Caribou Coffee | Minneapolis, MN | ONSITE, FULL-TIME | http://www.cariboucoffee.com/

We're looking for a Principal Applications Engineer. We're a collection of companies that are 25+ years old and we're merging our technology stacks. For this position we're looking for someone who wants to set the new foundation, deciding what technology we keep and what technology we delete. We have a growing team in Minnesota and a large team in Colorado.

We're largely a dotNet shop that's increasingly using more of the Azure stack, but we're not afraid to advocate for the right tool for the right job. Restaurant technology is evolving at an incredible pace, and what used to be "really advanced" 3 years ago is the new norm today. If you love coffee & bagels, and want to bring best-of-breed software & experience to 1500+ stores & 1M customers - then you should come be a part of our team!
