Oops, we need to update it. They are only once every 4 months now.

They are strongly encouraged to be attended whenever possible since they provide so much value! (also, they are a lot of fun!)

Wave | Multiple Roles | Full-time | between UTC -5 and +4 | 100% Remote | https://wave.com

We’re building a way for unbanked people in sub-Saharan Africa to send money instantly and affordably, saving massive fees and heartache. Top reasons you might be interested in working here:

2. It’s still early days—you’ll work on shipping critical new products and features with lots of scope and autonomy.

3. The culture at Wave is special - it's a deeply diverse team united by how excited we are to build awesome stuff for our users. We are direct, honest communicators - but also very curious and collaborative.

We’re hiring for multiple roles:

* Senior Software Engineer (Python, GraphQL, K8s) - https://www.wave.com/en/careers/job/4278511002/

Definitely going to give Necromunda Dark Uprising a look then, especially considering the "compatible" terrain. Havent touched Necromunda in a very very very long time, so love the idea of giving it a shot again. Thank you for the tip, and goood luck with your stealth mission ;-)

Anyone interested in getting into the hobby and would like something a bit different, then you may want to give Infinity a look. I often describe it as X-Com meets 40K. Infinity is similar to 40K in the sense that it’s in the future and sci-fi with aliens, but a few key differences:

* Rules are free and available on the official website for download.

* Gameplay is much more dynamic with the non active player getting to react to moves made by the active player during their turn. (Much less waiting/doing nothing)

* More near future with current nations represented at places

* Fewer religious overtones

* Bladerunner/Manga aesthetics

* Smaller company, but much more community driven

* Played with fewer figures. A typical full length game will have between 10-20 minis per side.

* Well organised digital competitive play tracking with online leaderboards and tournament organising tools. (This makes tournament matchups much more fair as newbies will be matched against other newbies right away etc)

* Rules are quite a bit more complex than that of 40K. Great for people who like that, but certainly a bit of a learning curve for newbies. (Code One mitigates this, see below)

There’s also a new version coming out called Code One that was just announced for pre-orders and is shipping next month. Seems like a good starting point as it’s a slightly simplified and quicker version that can serve as a jumping off point to the full game.

Here's a link to the full talk for anyone interested:

It helps frame the response a bit more in the context of the question the host asked. (~"is GDPR the panacea?")

This is super useful - thanks for making it!

Will you be adding additional insight for non-U.S. citizens as well?

Re:Ask HN: What technologies did you learn in 2018? on Sunday December 23, 2018 @12:25PM (#18747177)
Far from "learned", but in the process of learning about Quantum Computing. As someone who has always been rather terrible at math and physics, I was really scared to approach this subject. I love computing/programming though, and I think that this is a field with massive potential, so I'm pushing myself way past my comfort zone and engaging my learning-mindset to maximum. If you're curious, I'm also documenting things I'm learning in a weekly newsletter: https://quantumcomputingweekly.com

Thank you for the kind words, happy you enjoyed it!
Re:Show HN: Personalized email addresses for your entire family on Saturday December 22, 2018 @03:55AM (#18739712)
Thanks for taking a look. At the moment it's only handing receiving email, not sending - disk quota/etc are unnecessary. Cheers that link about names, really good point and quite interesting!
