According to their career page, DocuSign has 77 open roles in engineering. That's feels like a lot, but given they have identify verification where each country has nuances, maybe there's a lot going on behind the scenes.

I live in Northern Europe and in this time of years it is not uncommon to have cloudy days with little light (you need lights on indoors) for weeks at a time. I wonder people from before artificial lighting had adaptions to lower light leve

The reason why these things don't take off with non-nerds is because the UI and UX of open source tools almost always sucks. That's it. There's nothing more to it. Over the weekend there was a post about XMPP and somebody ask

Whisper is pretty good for speech to text, and can be done with in a resource constrained environment. I tried a demo running in a browser using WASM on my phone and even the tiny model is not bad.

EV battery recycling is WIP right now. At the moment it's still cheaper to dig up new lithium and cobalt, but I guess a lot of that is there just aren't enough old batteries available to recycle to cover demand right now. There ar

I agree, - they are not going to have any issues. First of all being non-profit gives them a hell of a lot of flexibility in terms of how they work. They don't need to show growth to shareholders, so they aren't just taking in you
