  1. Grafana Labs (https://grafana.com/) | Fully remote in many regions | Multiple roles | Full-time

    You can find all open positions at https://grafana.com/about/careers/open-positions/ and learn more about us here: https://grafana.com/about/careers/#jobs

    For my team, I’m looking for a Senior Software Engineer based in the UK, Sweden, Spain, or Germany to work on https://github.com/grafana/mimir

    What I'm looking for:

    - Technical expertise: You have strong experience with at least one programming language (Go, Python, C++, Rust), Cloud-Native applications (Kubernetes, Kafka protocol), DevOps practices, and writing maintainable code. Familiarity with observability tools is a plus.

    - Customer focus: You’re energized by working with large companies that depend on your work for critical operations and are ready to be on-call.

    - Pragmatism: You thrive in a remote team, communicate effectively, and excel at solving complex challenges, delivering MVPs, and iterating based on feedback.

    If you’re passionate about distributed systems and eager to help shape the future of observability, apply here: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/grafanalabs/jobs/5429813004. We have many other positions open, check them out here: https://grafana.com/about/careers/open-positions/

  2. You can resolve this by putting the cursor in the center of the display where you want the dock to appear then move the cursor to the bottom of the display at an average speed.

    Works everytime for me but this is also the reason why the dock moves to the wrong display!

  3. Just open Doctolib and tell me it's the same when looking for any kind of doctor. The difference in waiting time is 3 months, bare minimum.
  4. Finally. Germany combines some of the worst aspects of the US (credit ranking, complicated abortion process, private healthcare if you want decent treatments) with the worst aspects of Europe (low digitalization, high taxation, recursive federalism: within the country and within the EU).

    A country like the Netherlands has its own issues (mainly housing) but doesn't have the myriad of pain points you can find in Germany like Schufa, anti-customer contract rules, or public healthcare inaccessible despite paying more than 400€/month for it as a single individual.

  5. This is not a thing on HN because this is not a thing in real life. Over the sixteen-year period between 2005 and 2020, nearly three-quarters of the 138,230 tonnes of natural uranium imported into France came from four countries:

    Kazakhstan: 27,748 tonnes (i.e. 20.1%);

    Australia: 25,804 (18.7%);

    Niger: 24,787 (17.9%);

    Uzbekistan: 22,197 (16.1%).

    Only Niger is in Africa, and France has 10 years stored in case of geopolitical conflicts.

    I work on the Alerting team and we are looking for a backend engineer (remote EST, https://boards.greenhouse.io/grafanalabs/jobs/4857517004) to work on Grafana Alerting which is based on the Prometheus Alertmanager. The code you would be working on is mostly part of https://github.com/grafana/grafana and, if you want to learn more about the context we are in, I recommend you to watch this presentation from our tech lead: https://youtu.be/9AX8u-bt4J8

  7. Reddit has constantly provided better results to my questions over the past year.

    Also, most subreddits accepts posting detailed "Am I doing this wrong?" questions instead of only perfectly asked ones that have never been asked before. I find it a better balance than SO removing a question I spent 30 minutes formatting because someone asked a tangentially related question 5 years ago.

  8. Well-written and touching post. To switch off this API used by so many long-time users on the same day "For You" appears as the default option on Twitter triggers me. The "For You" timeline is only for Elon: it will drive engagement, extremism, and all the things social networks have been accused of driving for years now in order to make more $.

    Some folks here have been comparing the crypto/Web3 and ActivityPub craze recently but I see a massive difference. A billionaire has spent the last 3 months shitting on what I thought was my social backyard. Crypto and NFTs did not impact how I use my bank accounts, Elon ruined in a quarter a very special place I had crafted over a decade.

    Mastodon is not great right now, the UX needs to vastly improve, but all for-profit social networks have always disappointed in the long run. Looking back, few technologies have kept the same degree of greatness over the past 15 years: emails, torrents, RSS feeds... only tools no corporation fully controls. I hope ActivityPub can join that list fairly soon.

  9. > On macOS does this replace Homebrew and MacPorts?

    I use Homebrew for casks and the few CLI tools I need for all my projects (e.g. the Github CLI tool) and I use Nix for CLI tools I need to work on a specific repository using specific versions (e.g. node).

  10. Went for https://www.yuyubottle.eu/ after a bit of googling due to the cotton fabric + the strap, will test it this winter.
  11. Tangentially related: has someone found something less energy intensive than taking a bath while bringing the same degree of warmth?

    I've been looking at heated blankets but they're all made of polyester which is not comfortable due to the moisture being trapped under the blanket. Heated seats in some cars are the closest sense of comfort I've found but that technology doesn't seem to exist for regular seats.
