The rules need to change. The rules will not change. So we're stuck.

IMPORTANT: ONLY APPLY IF YOU ARE PHYSICALLY BASED IN GERMANY OR UK! (I received almost 100 applications, about 85 of them did not read the details)

We build an open source data platform on Kubernetes. The product (Stackable Data Platform - SDP) bundles 12+ open source data tools (Trino, Apache Kafka, Apache Airflow, Apache Superset, etc.) and makes them work together. Right now everything is Infrastructure-as-Code only. We need someone to build a UI layer on top.

No mockups, no Figma, no product roadmap waiting for you I'm afraid, just a bunch of ideas :) We're all backend people and need someone to own this end to end. Play around with our product stack, figure out what customers actually need, build it.

Stack (because we got started without you...): Svelte/SvelteKit, TypeScript, TailwindCSS. SDP itself is Rust, Java, Python on K8s. Three releases a year. Not SaaS. Quality matters.

100% remote, Germany (UK possible) only, no other countries, sorry. No Scrum, minimal meetings. Interview process is usually just two conversations. The position isn't on our homepage yet as I'm on vacation. Send a mail to recruiting@stackable.tech and I'll get back to you next week. Please mention HN in your mail. My personal mail is also in my HN profile. I'm the Co-founder and CTO.

Maplibre supports different projections if you want.

It doesn't work well in practice. Because then people like https://github.com/sindresorhus?tab=repositories&type=source would get a shit ton of money because of the pure number of dependencies. And yes our stack also contains his code somewhere in a debug UI but our main product is entirely written in a different programming language with way fewer dependencies but if one of them goes away we'd be in trouble. In other words: Dependency count is not a good metric for this.

GitHub actually offers something in that direction: https://github.com/sponsors/explore

My "idea": Lots of companies will have to create SBOMs anyway. Take all of those but also scan your machines and take all the open source software running on there (your package.lock does not contain VLC etc.) and throw it in a big company wide BOM, then somehow prioritise those using algorithms, data and just manual voting and then upload that to some distributor who then distributes this to all the relevant organisations and people and then (crucially) sends me (as a company) an invoice.

We've tried doing the right thing but sponsoring is hard - it works differently for every project/foundation and the administrative overhead is huge.

The reality is that "we" as an open-source community suck at taking money and I believe this is partially on us.

I'm no expert but a far stretch but if this most basic fact is already wrong then my trust in the remaining stuff diminishes. On top of that they is only relevant if all truck loads were limited by weight.

So, I believe that argument to be wrong in its entirety. And if we then factor in the CO2 costs, hydrogen is the clear loser in all regards.

Basically it's a k3s configured to use a local mirror and that local mirror is running the Zot registry (https://zotregistry.dev/v2.1.8/). It is configured to automatically expired old images so my local hard drive isn't filled up).

There is a process, it's usually tedious but it exists. I did it for Singapore, the US and Israel. They mostly took multiple months but I never wanted to take any chances. For the US it was a "B-1 in lieu of H-1B" visa for example.

Attending a conference is something different than what these workers did. There are rules around what a "business trip" is and what is not and what "work" is.

The repo doesn't allow opening issues. Maybe the author reads here... (long shot)

He has a german channel which has more and longer content: https://www.youtube.com/@elektrotrucker

It's very worth watching.

I think he's proven that single driver long haul freight in Western Europe (which seems to be a good chunk of truck trips) is perfectly doable. Just two weeks ago he did a 4.500km trip around Europe which is about the maximum you can do given the law on driving times.

The same is then true for the shorter trips (round trips etc.)

And the European Commission has just decided that electric trucks don't have to pay road toll until at least 2031.

Better for the environment, more comfortable, quieter, cheaper in the long run, ... what's not to like.

And yes: There are still some use-cases where non-EV trucks are "better" by some metrics but that's definitely not the case anymore everywhere.
