teenage enginering | senior backend developer | full-time | stockholm ONSITE | https://teenage.engineering

hello, as head of it, i'm looking for another top backend developer to expand our it team. the it team builds and runs the tech infrastructure for teenage engineering, supporting all parts of the product journey for the worlds best products. onsite only (no relocation - you must already live in stockholm).

apply here: https://careers.teenage.engineering/jobs/6907741-senior-back...


I won't be applying, due to my lack of a swedish work permit - but I love to see Vim or Emacs listed as a hard requirement in a job advert.

teenage engineering is such an awesome company, cool to see you here!

Can you clarify the no relocation requirement? I would consider moving to Stockholm for this role, and have the right to work there as I'm a EU citizen.

imho it would make more sense to rewrite to golang with a stronger production ready standard library.


I guess the illustrations for the article were made with ai - they are all different styles visually. I like it allmost all the way through, gives a nice fuzzy ai edge to the feel, until 55% done then it starts to feel too weird.


Yep, the images are made with DALL-E 3 + some editing... Grammar isn't what DALL-E is best at. At least for the moment!

After that 55%, can you elaborate a bit? Is it too complicated, or just nothing of value for the user?

As in, not something that an AI rookie would ever use


it's also possible to get a little better results by cheating a little bit with the error distribution, Ulichneys ξ1 and ξ2 as in "Simple gradient-based error-diffusion method" Journal of Electronic Imaging jul/aug 2016.


absence of signal is not a good indicator of operation. it is the same signal as total failure of your system.


Interestingly that reflects Airbus vs Boeing cockpit philosophies.

In the early 1980s Airbus adopted Dark Cockpit where the default state of all annunciator lights is off. If one illuminates then it indicates something worthy of attention. The colour of illumination indicates functional state; blue is good, amber is malfunctional.


When would something illuminated blue? When it's both working smoothly and worthy of attention?


I assume that's for indicators of abnormal, but safe, state. One example could be the undercarriage being down, a situation that would usually not be expected, but when you're in the process of landing doesn't warrant attracting your attention as an error state.


According to [1] for the wing anti-ice system, Blue = Turned on, Unlit = Turned off, Amber = Malfunction

Of course, one might very well argue that 'turned on' is not 'worthy of attention'

erlangs bit matching syntax, case statements for structs... incredibly elegant. I don't know about Rust or Lua, maybe they have this too.


In particular, the elixir_ale library is a very pleasant interface to various bits of hardware you might want to interact with at the GPIO/i2c/etc level.

Rust doesn’t have the bit matching syntax, but we do have match generally.


It'd be interesting to explore something similar to the bitstring[1] library for Ocaml. Where should one start if exploring syntax extensions for Rust. I haven't looked into rust in a while now so i'm not sure how far one can get with macros these days.

“Macros 1.2” is what you want to look up; it’s in FCP right now!


MetaLua does!


"For the attacks to work, an attacker must first obtain administrator access to a targeted network, Guido said." what does that even mean?


It means in order for someone to first hose your system, they must first have already hosed your network.

clearly the author is not hip to The Human Evasion by Celia Green. Those guys were just all OK with choosing a slightly different reality, because the mainstream reality tunnel is also equally flawed, and less interesting

  Human beings live in a state of mind called 'sanity' 
  on a small planet in space. They are not quite sure 
  whether the space around them is infinite or not (either 
  way it is unthinkable). If they think about time, they 
  find it inconceivable that it had a beginning. It is 
  also inconceivable that it did not have a beginning. 
  Thoughts of this kind are not disturbing to 'sanity', 
  which is obviously a remarkable phenomenon and deserving 
  more recognition.

well, emacs, or terminal usage in general on a mac with the control key not on edge of keyboard is extremely unergonomic. So yay to control in the right place.


I'm with you; you're talking to a more than twenty-five year user of Emacs here. I do try, however, to be no less circumspect of my own actions than I am of others'.

Is saving my pinkie from cramping worth losing the ability to type on anyone else's keyboard? I'd say so, but there is a cost.


Yup, I remapped mine out of a reaction to RSI, not nostalgia. I never even thought of that angle before!
