Supabase | Customer Reliability Engineer (CRE) | Remote | Full-time | https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/supabase

Fully remote, fully async, fully open-source. A CRE is a point of contact available, both internally and externally, to advise on best practice. Normally, they are knowledgeable in a specific area (i.e. Realtime, Postgres) but they aim to be generalists on the platform as a whole. They do not have specific customers that they help; instead they get involved with deeper, longer-running cases to achieve an outcome.

Looking for more of a focused development role? Sure thing, we have many roles open!

Supabase.io | Customer Solution Architect / Engineer | Full-time | REMOTE (US)

I am one of the first SAs at Supabase and our role is to help onboard, optimise and advise on all parts of the Supabase platform.

No need to be a postgres expert, you will be working with customers of all sizes and using all aspects of the platform. One minute you might be onboarding an engineering team and the next you might be helping an existing customer with their scaling plans for the next 6 months or triaging a bug/feature request to ensure the Product team understands the context and priority. Technical skills are vital but "self-starter" is equally key. Being able to determine what cases need your attention compared to those that need escalating to Product or Engineering. Excellent comms skills (internal and external) certainly help, too!

I wanted to work at Supabase because of its open source nature and I want to stay here because of its fully remote, autonomous nature. Trust first in the work we do and it is easy to grab a member of the team to solve a problem async.

Job post and application details are here: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/supabase/d5573afa-636c-4219-832f-38...

Have you checked out this repo: https://github.com/supabase-community/supabase-custom-claims?

The "raw_app_meta_data" stored for a user is not writeable by the user, so you can store roles and/or privileges in there.

If you want a demo for https://aiven.io, I would be happy to give a walkthrough (non sales related, purely technical)? Or, if there is enough interest, I could do a short video explanation and upload here.
It is proprietary? I mean the code is but I have no idea if the protocol is. Obsidian is a note taking app that saves to a folder. Any OS it runs on can use any syncing solution (as long as the OS supports access to those folders)
Yep, saves to a local folder that you can sync
The limitations are purely on the iOS device. I am using Syncthing on iOS with Obsidian and no issues. Fully agree with wanting to avoid iCloud in all cases where one can.

(Also, sidenote: assuming gender is maybe not necessary: his => their)

For me: cross platform (the power of the app on iPad as well as Android is pretty amazing). Custom templates: being able to run a CLI command and pull those. data directly into a note is glorious Other thoughts: - Easy refactoring - My own cloud storage (syncthing and synology) - Plugins - Workspaces

Aiven.io | Solutions Architect(s) | Remote (EU, US and Canada) | Full-time | https://aiven.io

Aiven is a managed service offering open source, multi-cloud data pipelines using software like Apache Kafka, PostgreSQL, Cassandra and M3DB.

I am one of the Solutions Architects in the EU and have been with the company for just over a year. We have seen some huge growth in the past few years and the pandemic accelerated that somewhat. My team is looking for 1 more Solutions Architect and the US side has 2/3 open positions.

Working cross-cloud with Python, Go, Kubernetes and Terraform, as well as being involved with a bunch of interesting use cases for the services we offer and using your expertise to advise new/existing customers.

If you want more info (or see other positions), we have a pretty sizeable list (including less technical roles) here: https://apply.workable.com/aiven/ or you can contact me directly: chrisg (at) aiven (dot) io

Thanks! I saw the benchmark but how did you match the PG config? I.e. Was SSL enabled on ScaleGrid vs the default SSL enabled on DO?
Those are some impressive numbers! Do you have a post on the method(s) you used?
There are also some cases of people getting the illness again so it seems like there is little benefit to this idea.
Mostly, yeah. It is not perfect but we have a helper library we have written that handles most CRUD operations for objects and Connexion does the validation.
OpenAPI and RAML both have some pretty cool tools to generate both the DB and the API stubs.

For OpenAPI, Connexion by Zalando is one of the best implementations I have used. You just need to write the logic and provide the API spec.

Memex by World Brain does this pretty well. Open source and stores all your browsing with great search. Can tag and highlight pages, as well as back up to cloud services
I use a simple 'cipher' that makes new passwords easy to remember and remains relatively secure without the need of a book/service.

I have a file of the first word that comes to mind for every letter in the alphabet. Then my password is created based on some features of the site.

I.e. eBay has 4 letters so I could choose: 'Elephant_4_Yankee'

The delimiter is up to you and you could just as easily choose every second letter or whatever.

Yes, it does mean my Netflix password is a bitch to put in but I know it off by heart.

Cardiff University | Cardiff, UK | ONSITE | full-time/part-time

Cardiff University has created a new Applied Software Engineering course that combines the fundamentals that all academics love to brag about with the industrial best practices that people love to debate. We are joining Big-O notation with scaling systems, comparing SQL and NoSQL, teaching the value of testing, working in teams from day one, version control and all the rest.

Help us disrupt the way higher education preps devs that could be in your team. Develop and deliver content that you have spent years designing, coding or managing. Love to hate Android Studio and gradle? Come teach mobile development and show us why. Believe emacs is the only to-do list and IDE one needs? Come teach computational thinking. Think that the only code worth writing is C? Come and teach performance and scalability. Are the only recipes you write in Ruby syntax? Come and teach DevOps Are you a core developer of Rust or only working in Scala? Come and teach alternative commercial languages!

We have something for everyone at the National Software Academy (yes, we know what that abbreviates to) and we believe your knowledge can help us deliver graduates that are not just competent, but excellent developers.

If you still love your current employer or do not feel anyone else could maintain the legacy PHP you have been keeping from the brink for 15 years then we will also consider part time lecturing posts!

I have a similar issue of self destructive behaviour with impulses I cannot control. An extreme solution that I was recommended by my therapist was DBT, it is less therapy and more learning to.control the urges.

Ask HN: Ideal skills/languages for graduates when you hire them?

I am a lecturer on an Applied Software Engineering course, teaching with many people with different views on what industry wants in terms of skills.We can all agree that basic web development skills (front end and back end) are pretty core, as well as some concept of mobile development. What about things like enterprise programming (Java EE).The module list is here but I have my doubts on the...

Re:Tech is moving too fast for me: I'm out. on Thursday June 26, 2014 @03:46AM (#7948530)
Critiquing every detail of this man/woman's complaint is not going to help them. I think we all agree with at least some of the points. Your references to specific versions of OS' shows you living in the now. Apple will always release a new iOS and the OP's app will not always be compatible. It comes down to this: there is a lot of stuff going down and some people struggle to keep up. We give the impression that this has to be a way of life. Code at night, code at work, lifehack all the time. Some people just want a day job and, in this line of work, that is hard to do. I love it, but I also know what burnout is and the advice here does not help.
Re:An Email App Don Draper Would Use on Monday April 28, 2014 @09:29AM (#7659740)
I want to build this! Tried Mailbox, Postbox, MailPlane and all the others for so long. Also been a huge betali.st follower for a while now. Tweet me if you genuinely want someone to build this: @encima27
The social sharing to move in a queue has been used many times before. Sites like betali.st and erlibrid showcase this.

I believe launchrock and similar companies specialise in these kinds of things. Open sourcing may be a good move, but many others employ existing systems with similar functionality (although they may not be open).

I honestly cannot understand why a post that is essentially saying, 'look, we spent money, because we are awesome'. This is not why I come to HN.
A link to a link, really?

This is nothing new, there are a ton of good task syncing apps. What makes this apple-specific app so much better? Oh, wait.
