I have ten years of experience building scalable Python web applications and infrastructure. I'm looking for a fun team to work with on complex distributed systems. I have experience as a tech lead, and I enjoy learning from Python experts at PyCon.


Really cool idea and project! There are 2 things I would need to understand before trying it out though:

1. How can I run more than one instance of the server?

2. When running more than one instance of the server, how would the filesystem interaction work between servers?


This is mentioned in the blog post:

    Running as a single node (no cluster support yet)
If cluster is supported, I think this can compete with Kafka


That's what I figured, I didn't see anything in the docs about it


I've started thinking about a verifiable format for QR codes. https://blog.xqr.dev/introducing-xqrs-the-next-evolution-in-...

I've written a library in Rust to handle this as well as a CLI example: https://github.com/xqr-dev/xqr-rs

It's still early stages, so feedback would be helpful!


How do you handle redirects?

Like if a popular QR code generator and redirector hosting service supported this and signed my QR code, couldn’t I just change the redirect but the original target URL is still valid? You could try to detect redirects but that could be tricky once JS is involved.


Here's an example. Original job post: https://boards.greenhouse.io/canonical/jobs/2925180?t=1d5e7b...

Summarized:

Security Engineer - Ubuntu | Canonical | Worldwide | Full-time | Remote

Canonical is looking for a Security Engineer to join its industry leading software security team in order to help protect the open-source community and Ubuntu users from emerging threats. The role requires analyzing, fixing, and testing vulnerabilities in Ubuntu packages, as well as keeping track of vulnerabilities in Ubuntu releases and collaborating with other teams in the Ubuntu community.

The ideal candidate should have a thorough understanding of the common categories of security vulnerabilities and techniques for fixing them, familiarity with open source development tools and methodologies, and the ability to communicate effectively with the team and Ubuntu community members. Additionally, the role requires skills in one or more of C, Python, go, Rust, Java, Ruby, or PHP, and experience with coordinated disclosure practices.

This is a full-time, remote job with international travel several times a year, usually for one week, and candidates should have the ability to be productive in a globally distributed team through self-discipline and self-motivation. If interested, please visit the Canonical website for more information.


At the various companies I've worked at, we usually want to post our job postings in the monthly "Who's hiring" thread. It's always been a pain for me to rewrite our job postings to match the Hacker News style.

I thought it would be nice to be able to have someone else generate a summary for me; that someone is AI. I wanted to find a practical use case for myself to build using AI and now I'm sharing it for others who might find it useful.


It is interesting to see these tools used for reformatting unstructured text, as the T in ETL for written words.

One missing thing here, that I expect is a difficult gap to fill is, how to improve the post for better top of funnel. Hard because we don't know what makes a good post vs bad, but this is general, not specific to HN posts

It's hard to fathom that this, or any, app is worth this much money. Also, how does Oracle have that much money lying around for an acquisition??


I like Basecamp's approach of not having live coding in the interview. They discuss past projects and you walk through some code you're proud of or think is interesting.

1. https://m.signalvnoise.com/hiring-a-programmer-ditch-the-cod...

2. "... you’ll submit some code you’re proud of, review it, and tell its story. Then on to an interview. Our interviews are one hour, all remote, with your future colleagues, on your schedule. We’ll talk through some of your code and some of ours. No gotchas, brainteasers, or whiteboard coding." from https://apply.workable.com/basecamp/j/F2CB808F33/

Until you run into the guy who literally cannot code. I'm not talking hard algorithms either.


Then you fire them.


This - California is an at-will employment state. Given that, you'd think hiring and firing would both be quicker. Literally any reason that isn't illegal. So why are there so many barriers to being hired if I can be fired at whim?


Currently cargo-cult fashion.


This seems decent, except for the “submit some code you’re proud of“ part. What about applicants whose only jobs have been on proprietary code they can’t share? This is the same problem as using GitHub resumés: it’s kind of unfairly biased against people who either don’t work on open source projects, or like to have a life outside of coding when they’re not on the job.


That sounds like a good case for paying someone to do a project for you (if they're employed, give them an 'hours' budget over a longer 'days' or 'weeks' period). Then you'd have something to look at that they just built, fresh.
