Nory | Ireland/UK | Software Engineer, Designer, Engineering Manager, Marketing | Remote in Europe GMT+/-2
Nory is a modern restaurant management OS - currently combining inventory, workforce and performance management to help restaurants save time, money and food waste. We integrate with several point-of-sales systems, ingest and analyse the data and provide forecasts for our users. We handle many important workflows of a restaurant business such as managing deliveries, planning schedules, tracking inventory - applying machine learning in different places to make these steps as easy for our customers as possible. Some users access the product through a web interface, others via one of three mobile apps.
Our stack is a combination of Python on the back-end, React on the front-end, AWS infrastructure (i.e. Lambda, RDS, Amplify).
Our website: https://nory.ai/
We are looking for some key hires with direct, transferable experience in a similar domain and/or a company at our stage to level up our teams.
Our engineers are "Product Engineers" - they wear multiple hats and are responsible for their product end-to-end. https://nory.jobs.personio.de/job/836922 (there is a similar role in two other teams, but most of that description applies)
Our "Product Designers" are a combination of product management and UX design in one. https://nory.jobs.personio.de/job/618081
The "Product Team Lead" role isn't on the careers page yet - they are responsible for the health of their team, as well as the quality and timeliness of their team's product. They are people managers with direct reports, project managers keeping their team on track - and are sometimes hands-on with technical planning, reviews, guidance and if an emergency arises.
A Digital Marketing Manager to help us develop and grow our marketing strategy. https://nory.jobs.personio.de/job/491915

galaktor | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is your favourite gaming hardware/device?
I, too, have little time for gaming. I love my Xbox Series X - together with Game Pass I have more games than I will ever be able to play. Things Just Work and load times are basically nonexistent, can jump straight in when I do have a short moment for some gaming. Game Pass Ultimate even lets me play on Chrome on my Mac and on my Android phone, although I rarely actually use it, it works pretty well.

This reminds me of the "Universe in a Nutshell" app which also attempts to visualise the various scales of the universe.

galaktor | 5 years ago | on: New FIREFLY series coming out, but not on TV
Here's the main bit:
---------------------
BOOM! Studios has announced a new Firefly spin-off comic book series, titled A Brand New Verse, that's set 20 years after the Serenity film and focuses on the new crew of the same ship, with a blood connection to the old one. Here's the official synopsis:
Set 20 years after the events of Firefly, Serenity soars the 'Verse once again with a new captain – Emma, the daughter of Wash and Zo !
The old crew of Serenity has gone their own way and now Emma is working to prove herself to Zo , alongside a new crew of castaways and misfits just trying to stay afloat.
But when Serenity takes a job from a familiar face, they discover that their new, living, breathing cargo is far more than they bargained for…and might bring them into conflict with Alliance once again!
Josh Lee Gordon (Firefly: Bad Company) and Fabiana Mascolo (Yasmeen) begin a new era for Joss Whedon's Firefly with First Appearances of an all new cast, new adventures and shocking new surprises!
galaktor | 5 years ago | on: Rebrickable – Build with Lego
We've tried this several times - the napkin math seems sound at first but unfortunately the amount of patience and discipline required vastly exceeds what we could achieve in one afternoon. After multiple lego sorting sessions I realised we had turned what is supposed to be a creative and fun toy into a laborious chore, to the point that the kids dreaded the thought of spending another hour mindlessly sorting bricks into bags.
galaktor | 5 years ago | on: Rebrickable – Build with Lego
Over the years we've accumulated what I'd estimate to be more than a thousand dollars worth of lego bricks (based on the prices of the various sets). I'd readily pay the equivalent of two or three decent sets (or a typical game console) to unlock this latent replay value for myself and the kids.
galaktor | 5 years ago | on: Rebrickable – Build with Lego
I would spend significant money on a simple device that takes a bucket of arbitrarily mixed legos and sorts them by type, size and maybe colour. The main thing holding me back from reusing all the legos we have is the difficulty of finding the right pieces in the endless mess.

> until the burden of evidence favours another opinion over yours, be prepared to hold and defend your opinions stridently
It might seem obvious, but this part is extremely important and can be very difficult to live by because it encourages (healthy) disagreement and conflict. "Strong opinions, weakly held" is explicitly _not_ about giving in to a majority opinion or because the opinion is coming from a position of higher authority. It's essentially the scientific method. It does not mean you should agree with other peoples' opinions just because they said it louder and/or more often than you did.
I've witnessed senior engineers and managers misunderstand this mantra and (mis)use it to punish ICs who disagreed with ideas of other more/tenured engineers but lacked evidence for being "better".
If you intend to use this framework as a value in your organisation, make sure you and everybody else understand what it means (_especially_ your engineering managers).

Thanks for linking. The flexible pricing for additional GB storage and aliases looks interesting.

Regarding your mention of the "politically motivated provider", this [1] is relevant:
Using Google-translate + some tweaks by myself:
"What does political Provider mean?
Even if JPBerlin is a political provider, that does not mean that we ourselves are politically active.
We give politically and socially active organizations the technical infrastructure they need to enable them to work with modern tools such as groupware systems or mailing lists. They should be able to focus on their content rather than vexed with the technology and its implementation.
The JPBerlin itself represents no own political content or opinions. We see ourselves only as a reservoir and implements of the assets from [politically] left, environmental and social areas. And so it is not surprising that we accommodate almost all well-known organizations, foundations, communities and other groups from those circles. Of course we also have non-politically-motivated individuals and organizations as customers.
Our customers have no relationships to each other. The same applies to our position in relation to our clients and their views and work.
Our only position is to be clearly distinct from the [politically] right edge!!"
