Guac (YC S23) | Senior Data/Solutions Engineer | Full-time | NYC
At Guac, we're on a mission to solve grocery food waste with predictive ML. We forecast exactly how much of each product will sell, to put an end to the millions of tons of food that goes to waste every single day due to bad inventory replenishment.
We're currently working with major supermarket chains in the US (you've probably shopped at some of them before), and we're backed by Y Combinator, 1984 Ventures, Collaborative Fund, and angels from Instacart and Citadel Securities.
This position will include a 50/50 mix of customer facing, forward deployed work as well as development of our ETL pipelines and APIs. We are a still a small team and there is huge opportunity to get involved across the company and take ownership of key parts of our stack.
Responsibilities:
* Collaborating directly with customers' technical teams to understand their IT infrastructure and system implementations
* Working with customers’ internal supply chain and store operations teams to understand and then implement their unique business logic
* Designing and implementing scalable data pipelines for processing large-scale data across multiple customers
* Contributing to our backend services to serve our mobile and web applications
Key technologies: Python, FastAPI, Dagster, GCP (including BigQuery), Dask, and SQL.

I found Zubok's recent book 'Collapse' to be quite informative in this regard if you haven't read it, not exactly what you are looking for but in the first half it deals with Gorbechev's economic reforms and there is some fairly detailed discussion of the economy and how it functioned.

Not sure why this is being downvoted... perhaps it is documented somewhere they are not selling this at a loss but ordinarily both Sony and Microsoft sell consoles at a loss indeed.
I think ordinarily peripherals are not sold at a loss, but it would make sense that a pricy VR headset would be the exception.

Compose also works well with Swarm in my experience.

Well correct me if I'm wrong but so far as I can tell you still need a 'Meta' account to use them so... Not so great as it sounds.

Yes I believe because it happens at runtime. This is quite a good series of articles on multi dispatch that gets to CLOS: https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2016/a-polyglots-guide-to-mult...

Outer Wilds I think has a great story, and is a modern evolution of a Myst point and click sort of thing with more physics. The base game I think is suitable for kids but may be difficult to play, the DLC on the other hand is pretty creepy so maybe not for kids!

As a puzzle game I think it's one of the best, certainly I became totally obsessed with that aspect of it. It's very atmospheric too and has a great sense of place.

> I can enjoy difficulty when I don't have to redo things I've already done; I'm fully on-board with something like a Super Meat Boy or a Hotline Miami, which are also games where death is expected and a core part of the loop, but when dying to a boss involves trekking back through 5-10 mins of low-level enemies I very quickly lose interest.
Sekiro and Elden Ring are both much better here in terms of checkpointing close to bosses, though it's still not always just right outside it often is. Indeed I remember a few very tedious routes in Bloodborne and Dark Souls. It just didn't bother me quite so much because I enjoyed optimizing them also!
With Elden Ring also at least there is always other stuff to do/explore (at least so far for me at ~50 hours in) so you can come back later.

In case it helps:
I have struggled with a similar thing (poetry not pipenv, but should be applicable) and came to this working solution: https://github.com/bananaoomarang/dotfiles/blob/master/emacs...
Basically: if poetry project file exists in project root, get the path for the active venv with poetry and activate with the emacs pyvenv package. This adds a little jank when switching projects I haven't looked into ironing out yet but it is functional.
At Guac, we’re building the first agentic AI platform for grocery. Today, we work with enterprise supermarket chains to forecast demand and help them optimize their inventory operations.
We’ve scaled to 7 figures ARR, and we’ve raised $7.2M from YC, Collab Fund, 1984. We're looking for talented engineers in NYC to join our mission: to solve grocery food waste and tackle food insecurity with technology.
Key technologies: Python, FastAPI, Dagster, Dagster, Dask, React, Next.js, TypeScript
