FoxIntelligence is a market intelligence company based on billions of e-commerce transactions at the consumer level.

My team is looking for a Software Engineer with at least a few years of experience to join our internal tooling team. The scope is quite broad and you'll get to work on internal apps that help us process millions of emails daily.

We are based in Paris but open to full-remote from France. We are fluent in English but most of our communications are in French so you must be able to understand some French.

If this sounds interesting e-mail me at <username>[ at ]foxintelligence.fr or directly apply on our linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/3709030882.

In highly competitive markets the good apartments don't even make it to the websites that aggregate listings before someone takes them.

The ones that do are either very expensive or will have 20+ people showing up the next day (sometimes the same day) for a visit. It's crazy and while this article is very neat I'm not sure a bot that scrapes listing in batch is the answer.

Yes dropping everything for 6 months is probably the biggest hurdle especially for people with kids etc. I was quite lucky, my boss liked the project and agreed to a 6 months unpaid leave.

Incredible. I did the PCT in 2019 and considered quitting multiple times. I can't imagine the mental strength required to push through the AT, CDT and PCT back-to-back.

Hetzner is great! I have a k3s cluster running there and can't complain, my experience has been very smooth.

Do you just select companies competing to hire against global companies ?

I can't see a mid-size startup / domestic company needing to pay 100k to get the devs they need, at least from my experience in Europe.

I've always thought that the French model for top-tier engineering schools was cruel but it might have some merits.

You essentially study for two years post high-school to take a competitive exam, your ranking in this exam determines where you can go (first place chooses, then the second place gets to pick etc.) You suffer for two years but at the end it's based mostly on merit.

Obviously it's not entirely based on merit as privileged kids have a huge head start but you at least get a chance to catch up during those two years.

Sure I'm not arguing that Bitcoin isn't used by criminals. But, to make the obvious straw-man, USD and knives are used by criminals too, should we ban them ?

I wonder why the ex CEO of Paypal and Intuit, founder of an actively managed fund doesn't like Bitcoin.

There are many valid points to be made against bitcoin but "It's used by criminal" isn't one of them.

On the same page is really cool!

In case you didn't already know: using the same whiteboard on a 27" screen vs a mobile screen hides a big portion of it on mobile. It seems like the whiteboard isn't scaled according to the screen size.

Love the concept though!

EDIT: Never mind looks like if you just dezoom it works, my bad!

Interesting list and a nice surprise to see hikes like these on HN. I thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail in 2019 [1] and it was amazing.

If you have the time and the financial means to be able to drop everything for 6 months, go for it! You will make some life changing encounters.

I used it for a while, it seems that most content is geared towards beginners (ie. to-do list web apps). There is a lot of noise and I failed to find really interesting / in-depth articles.

They do a great job at building communities though.

Interesting article! However as a software dev working in this field it is missing quite a few tools.

The first that comes to mind is Dataiku which is already a pretty big startup (~$150M raised) so I'm surprised the author missed it.

It worked for me after a few tries, input lag is pretty significant though.

Anyhow it's a very neat project, thanks for sharing!
