A curated job board for DevOps, SRE, and Observability (o11y) jobs.

Working to become the specialist jobs board for infrastructure jobs.

I echo this sentiment completely. I do 2-3 days a week in my office and I am personally mentally better off for it.

That said, personally is the key word. I manage a team. I love seeing employees together and aligning on things in person where possible - but totally understand if this does not suit their schedule that day or week. It often does not work with mine.

It's the small human mistakes that are innocent and spontaneous - like inevitably spilling coffee on myself - that keep us humble.

Some fit the remote world entirely never wanting to see the inside of an office again, some thrive off rubbing shoulders with colleagues. I found it difficult to not have social engagements outside of family during the darker periods of the COVID-19 pandemic. I also found myself working longer hours, not having solid disconnected time or neglecting my health physically and mentally.

I believe we still have a lot to learn about how to work best remotely. Businesses should invest in making this as normal as possible - for example enforcing a work-from-desk policy for calls has helped normalise communication. I do worry slightly about those younger graduates coming into the industry now that have never had the experience of working in an office.

I bought a 400g can of triple concentrate thinking it was chopped tomatoes (I'm in Greece, I do not speak Greek). It is fate. Gruyère sounds good, thanks for sharing!

Learned how far I can push myself physically and mentally in my first Ultra Cycling event (2400km).

Not sure I'll do another one, but it was a good experience and at at an age where performance will start decreasing from here. I need to do a write-up.

Share some of said recipes, you smug dog! I always want to up my pasta game.

I'm still arguing with my extending family about the amount of salt in the pasta water... baby steps

Rapha | Senior DevOps Engineer | London, UK | Full-time | Hybrid

Rapha's aim is to inspire the world to live life by bike by sharing experiences to motivate users to make the modal shift and to build product that stands up to the tests thrown at you on two wheels - whether you're riding the gravel trail or commuting in the rain to work.

We are hiring a Senior Engineer to help push forward their practices of deployment, visibility and encouraging our teams to work in progressive manner. There's a good amount of career progression available in this role. We are looking for someone ideally who has a few years experience and is looking to begin their progression to lead the platform side of the team.

We're re-platforming our technology stack to use a new e-commerce checkout tool and are working to glue things together via a Middleware to enhance our website customer experience and start to deliver product on our mobile application. This is a complete rethink of how we are delivering experiences to our customers, and see ourselves having an unusual proposition.

Due to our fairly unique culture, we would love staff to be in reasonable distance to London. We connect via in-office experiences, lunch and quarterly bike rides with both direct and indriect team members. Rapha see see this as important. There is an expectation to be in the office once a week. The office is in Archway (N19)!

This is a design choice by urban planners for the past 60 years. This has statistically lead to detrimental aspects of every day living, and additionally cars are often not an attainable mode of transport for the poor, and the poor are often living in areas that have to deal with the by-product of pollution.

The incidental-exercise aspects that are positively impacting mental health health and obesity. We need to build better places for people, not cars, and this is something that's been ingrained over legislation from the automotive industry for the past century.

Cars are part of the puzzle, and shared cars could be exceptional. They are not sustainable to produce or operate and never will be.

One company of interest for me at least is Culdesac: https://culdesac.com/

Sigh. I don't believe this aids the discussion in any meaningful way at all.

This is really useful and food for thought, thank you!

Here's one for you on that topic from London: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-56647128

Cities should start taxing the size of vehicles too if they're going to let people park on the street. Smart cars are a fantastic utility vehicle for example, but are not incentivised enough.

Rapha Racing | Infrastructure Engineer | London | Full Time | Commutable to On-Site (London/Asturias) | Compensation based on profile |

Rapha's mission is to make cycling the most popular sport in the world. We're here to promote and create the best performing cycling clothing products whether you're riding around the local park or grinding out the Transcontinental Race. The international cycling club with a network of clubhouses and partner cafes encourage riders to get out of their comfort zone and experience some of the most beautiful sights and sounds outside.

We're currently undergoing a re-platform to enable us to utilise a modernised multi-tier architecture to improve our customer experience and allow us to leverage new areas. The community is everything.

We are actively looking to fill 3 roles in our technology department:

* ERP Team Lead: https://boards.greenhouse.io/rapha/jobs/3033431

* Infrastrucutre Engineer: https://boards.greenhouse.io/rapha/jobs/2455254

* Senior Cloud Developer: https://boards.greenhouse.io/rapha/jobs/2332699

The Rapha Why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xhdxRSm-MU

This is an interesting observation but I'd argue there certainly cities where cycling is a norm (Amsterdam, Copenhagen) and cities that are increasingly turning to 2 wheels as a way to solve density (Paris, Berlin, Oslo). I think the UK, like the US, suffers from the idea of cars being a status symbol. I've no idea how this works in Tokyo for example, would be good to know their approach to cycling as an alternative, but pedestrianisation of areas and city centres are what we should certainly strive for.

This is quite surprising to me. Some of the banking technology and practices in Germany are extremely tight and their infrastructure seems problematic. Living there for a while as a non-native and being with PostBank, it was insanely difficult to login and understand. Germany is also heavily marred with bank cash groups, meaning you get charged elsewhere.

It was great to see N26 come along and change that, and thank god for their native translations.

This is my kind of post. Respect.

It's quite refreshing to ensure that there's a push for this for the most part on HN, which is a rather affluent community. I'm not sure about the state of housing here too, but I am willing to wager that we live, for the most part, in a high density area.

Working to have all of our expectations for a good life walkable, scootable, or bikeable is the way we should be designing our cities.

Enjoyed the post and a good approach to easy repeatable and test driven practices which I think is refreshing in a time of k8s-first infrastructure and practice.

Absolutely, the release of Quantum too changed my view on FX completely.

Chapeau!

Hackernews color theme will change from orange to green

Apart from this one, I'm onboard with these. A change of colorscheme just seems too far-fetched.

* Apple becomes a true lifestyle brand, where you subscribe to different plans. They offer cellular plans. Macbooks by default are internet connected devices. The touch bar becomes bigger. One dream is that they release a smaller iPhone again.

* Major technology companies invest into public infrastructure. From bus stops to cycle/scooter lanes.

* Car ownership decreases due to more alternatives and aforementioned investment.

* Major uncontrollable fire within a major city, much like the fire of London.

* Ocean Cleanup project are a success.

* SpaceX enter the commercial airline industry with an electric/solar plane.

12. You'll finally be able to pump your own gas in New Jersey

Some people will, but most will own super-charge electric, service stations will pivot into being food-first. Avocado and toast will be available on the freeways along R66.

Interesting prediction about Tesla and one that I share because I think we will see leaps in progress by most traditional automotive companies as they finally catch up. Tesla could then be acquired, after changing the automotive landscape for good. Mission accomplished.

Each time one of these posts come up, I open it an do a Ctrl+F for bike and bicycle. Nice to see you guys hiring! Best of luck!

I use vim exclusively, and use a terminal for most things.

FZF - fuzzy file finding lightning quick, I use this as a ctrl+p replacement in vim too. Kubectx - Supported by FZF. Quickly change k8s context and define namespaces easily too (Kubens)

I tried to get in touch previously via email with your team and their ongoing upscaling. I got a reply, but radio silence after that. I'm a 'devops' engineer, but I am very interested in what Remix are currently achieving and the future for their offerings. Is there a direct email you can offer for a conversation?

Great company and bunch of people, all the best in the hunt!

I use it the git aspects of it heavily for projects where I get lazy and should be using proper secret storage (for example Ansible playbooks with secrets not secure...). This is far from ideal, but makes personal development a great experience.

Secondly to that, we heavily considered and trialed it a work to unseal Hashicorp Vault. You can add a single identity that is able to unseal, and having that person verify in the keybase-esque method is a great idea.

This is pretty awesome! Nice and clean, and a simple responsive WebUI.

I was thinking about doing something similar to this recently, but with different names:

Captain's Log and Captains Blog

You'd toggle Captain's Blog, which would forward it on to a configured static page generator and display it for you.

I have a X270 that's modernish and I'm wondering if this could suffer from the same issue... I can't get it to suspend at all. I'm hoping the sensor is gone, but I'm not sure how to verify that... Thinksupport have changed the mainboard but that didn't fix it.

How to check?

I was lucky enough to bag one of these on eBay 10 years ago, someone was selling a god awful computer and I asked if I could just take the keyboard for a vintage computing project. Cost me 10 pounds. I bolt modded it, but eventually sold it as I wanted to fund my HHKB addiction which is a solid keyboard, just more portable than a Model M

Thankfully, a friend gave me another Model M recently, and it's now awaiting a clean and a cable

This is the main reason I want to try and learn Emacs, OrgMode, and Babel. The stuff that Howard Abrahams discusses on the below video is something I think would be highly successful in a remote environment. Documenting your workflow as you go, including commands and output, then emailing it to your team that day or uploading it to a document store/gitbook:
