Trax | https://www.traxtech.com/ | Onsite Cebu PH, Remote Costa Rica, Remote US are possible | Full-time | Architect

I work best as a team - with someone who can challenge my assumptions and bolster my weaknesses. I'm looking to increase the bandwidth of the architecture function at Trax, as I can't do it alone!

We BOTH need to be strong in: * Communication - we lead by influence, not by authority. Kindness is required! * Ego-free problem solving - good ideas come from anywhere. * Reliable software designs - things that work on dirty data, incomplete testing, and AI-enabled development workflows. * Building the first prototype in an area with zero guidelines - careful choices and evaluation of vendors, setting an example to follow.

You should be strong in: * Angular, Vue, Javascript, and web serving best practices for development organizations for long term health. * Developer enablement and tooling in the Node.js ecosystem - shared component architectures, design systems, etc. * Data-heavy applications and their operation and security needs.

I am strong on the infrastructure, DevOps, k8s, and backend and data stacks. So don't worry about relative weaknesses there, though you will need some understanding.

This would be a good first architecture position for a Staff or Senior Staff level full-stack technical leader who wants to expand their scope. My email is in my profile!

Since you built something on OKF, how would you contrast it with knowledge graph implementations? How do you manage the ontology of what to keep knowledge about? Any cases where traversal would have helped?

Trax | Analytics Engineer | REMOTE (Philippines, Costa Rica, US) | Full-time Contract

We're hiring an Analytics Engineer to help power our future. This is a really greenfield project where we need to define the data models that fuel all reporting, analytics, and ML/AI going forward. We do 'freight audit' - we save our clients money by making sure all their logistics spend is correct and as agreed.

At Trax, our data infrastructure is in the middle of a real transformation. We're building the data foundation that will power our next wave of AI features, and we need someone who can own that work end-to-end. This isn't a "run queries and make charts" role.

You'll be:

- Designing and maintaining data marts in dbt + Snowflake

- Building customer-facing dashboards that integrate into our platform

- Bridging the gap between engineering, business ops, and client teams

- Running ad-hoc analyses that drive real decisions

- Shaping how our data platform evolves alongside our AI/ML capabilities

What matters most to us:

- Deep data modeling knowledge (domain logic, not just syntax)

- Advanced SQL; dbt and Snowflake experience is a big bonus

- Strong communicator who translates between technical and non-technical worlds

- A learning mindset; genuinely non-negotiable for us

We're a small, close team. You won't disappear into a large org. You'll work directly with leadership, partner with Solutions and Sales, and have a real voice in how we build. If you thrive on ownership, are energized by complexity, and want to see the direct impact of your work, let's talk! My email and linkedIn are in my profile.

I have not! I will give that a shot, and hope that it will maintain compatibility with BOSL2 (also beta).

I had a similar thought about 3D printing - particularly extruding mathematically defined shapes in vase mode.

In both of these cases, mathematically generating the points to visit (in gcode) is needed, and we don't care about constant speed - the firmware handles the instruction->motion part.

I am thinking about non-planar printing mostly, but this could also apply to CNC finishing passes.

OpenSCAD is great for functional parts, built of basic components. It can start to be good for moderate complexity components with the BOSL library (I use BOSL2) including chamfers/fillets where needed. And the parametric/customization aspect is second to none - IF it's built with that in mind.

Where it really falls down is when you need to somehow get data OUT of the model to feed to other shapes. I would love to be able to specify a chamfer or fillet along a contact edge of two other shapes, but unless you know the exact contact shape, location, and size a priori you will have a tough time getting anything to line up. If you want to use a mesh or model as a negative, every model's zero coordinate needs to be just right or it will just be entirely misaligned.

I've also tried to spend some time performance optimizing for render/output. It is not cooperative at all. It will just soak CPU time for a minute at a time for not even a complex shape! As pseudosudoer said, it really goes off the rails.

But for functional connectors, adapters, and replicating parts, it's great to be able to leverage my software skills in 3D modeling!

Judging from a recent thing I watched[1] ... ~1.5 mins per nail (as of the 8.5 hr + 352 nail mark), while streaming and talking.

That would bring it down to only ~7 years of labor if we call it 1 min per nail, assuming that you're already working from prepared bar stock. Still a significant expenditure of skilled labor!

This is exciting. I am an architect in a startup that has long valued bringing humans in the loop for the moments when only humans can do the work. The key thing missing between the potential seen in the last couple years of LLM-based fervor and realizing actual value for us has been the notion of control and oversight. So instead, we have built workflows and manual processes in a custom way throughout the business. Happy to discuss privately sometime! (email in profile)

Congrats on the launch! I'll be thinking about this for a while to be sure.

P.S., there is a minor typo on the URL in your BIO.

In my experience, gnucash qualified easily as painful. :)

Here's an example of what I'm talking about: suppose you and a housemate decide that an equitable split for the electric bill is 65/35 based on usage habits. One person pays the electric bill every month. All of these finance apps will download the transaction, categorize the electric bill for me, and maybe apply a custom tag. But I have to manually calculate the amount owed to me, and manually reconcile that with the fact that the other person pays the water bill.

I'd love to find an accounting app for shared arrangements, but it seems like most are targeted to solo or completely joint finances. Monarch listed elsewhere in these comments is the closest I've seen, but it also doesn't support reconciling split transactions.

Any recommendations for a privacy-focused app that can handle transaction splitting in ways other than 50/50? Or tracking accounts from multiple people in a household?

Every app I've tried this is painful or unsupported.

On a personal note - I've been at OJO for 3+ years as a senior tech leader, and there is no team of people I'd rather solve problems with! Empathy is a key attribute here, and I often say that kindness is part of my job description. I'm proud of what we build, but even prouder of how we build it.

I use this documentation aggregator/search in the browser to access most language docs. It might serve as a whitelist starting point! https://devdocs.io/

I'm at 50% delivered for my year-long subscription, one of which I had to specifically request through their support site. These delivery issues are the key thing that has prevented me from extending my subscription or buying Prime for other people.

I want them to succeed and really like the content, but success is self-reinforcing in media.

I use tmux-resurrect for this exact reason. Between that and Chrome's session restore I end up in an OK state after a reboot.

+1 for fixing this issue, just trying to work around it in the meantime.

This is the primary reason I've recently​ replaced​ Ubuntu as the OS on my home server/NAS. I'd be happy to come back!

Wow, I am definitely the target for this. I often have tmux panes watching fast-scrolling log files while trying to continue to work in another pane. I've been trying to tweak tmux to perform better, but it really is the rendering speed that's holding it back.

The lack of scrollback/tabs/etc doesn't bother me at all - I use tmux for this exactly as suggested.

Thank you for this!

Another option for your list, which you'll have to evaluate for your use case: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Barbican

I've been evaluating most of these same options for my use case, but haven't made any decisions yet.

I haven't had occasion to use it in anger, but I keep doitlive[0] in my back pocket for such things. 'Live' typing, but repeatable and working each time.

I think the real meat of the article comes from the linked article in the middle:

Hypori | Austin, TX | ONSITE | http://www.hypori.com/company/careers

Hypori provides a secure mobile platform (ACE) that supports unmodified mobile apps across various end-points: iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows. Users access Android virtual devices running in the cloud (or on a remote server) – similar to Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. We call it Virtual Mobile Infrastructure. https://vimeo.com/103584835

We're hiring up in our Support and Services organizations. If you've got Linux, virtualization, and enterprise datacenter experience, this is a great place to be!

Benefits like WFH, ping-pong, beer, and food apply. I personally am having a great time with a very skilled team.

Email in my profile, or hit the address above.

My thoughts exactly. The larger target market here is authors in general, with tech-savvy git users who also happen to write books as a much smaller subset.

It might behoove you to hide git in the background, as I suspect they do here: https://draftin.com/about

I rarely hear the alternative explanation that speaks most to me: marriage as an institution is currently a segregated privilege. I do not want to participate, lest I lend it some small sliver of legitimacy.

Where are the articles talking about the people who don't get married because they no longer need a plausible cover for their sexuality? Or because they are creating loving non-traditional families? Or those like me who empathize with those who are disallowed from participating?

(These are not rhetorical questions, if you know of such research going on I would like to read it!)

I suppose it's easier to blame the newfangled interwebs and kids these days, rather than talk about the very real social changes that are taking place.

Any benchmarks or anecdata about how this performs with millions of 'paths'? What about data larger than memory?

Also, you mention difficulties with changing RRD settings, like time intervals. How does this handle similar config migration?

I've recently been involved in RRD replacement as well for the same reasons you cite in the article. Our technology choice was OpenTSDB. How does YAWNDB stack up? (Granted, OpenTSDB is in another category of deployment complexity.)

I see that card as well!

I am nowhere near Portland. I suspect you just got lucky. :)

Slightly OT: If you ever happen to be in Oklahoma City, the American Pigeon Museum[0] is a nice diversion - larger than you'd think, and lots of interesting tidbits to be had, including history on the passenger pigeon. I saw it in passing on an unrelated trip, but it turned into the best story to tell from OKC.
