Capitol Christmas Tree arrives in Washington, DC after 13-day trip from North Carolina

Christmas kicked off in Washington, D.C. Friday morning as the 2022 Capitol Christmas Tree arrived at the U.S. Capitol.

‘Ruby,’ the name of this year’s tree, is a 78-foot tall Red Spruce from North Carolina, and it was harvested in the Pigsah National Forest.

The tree and its traveling crew left North Carolina for the Capitol during the first week of November. Live tracking of the tree’s journey began Nov. 5 and ended with the final stop on Nov. 18.

Ruby the Red Spruce made 16 stops along the way and at each one fans could sign a banner, participate in arts and crafts, and learn more about America’s national forests.

ICONIC ROCKEFELLER CENTER CHRISTMAS TREE ARRIVES IN NYC: ‘IT’S A SPECIAL TREE’

The tree was delivered to its normal spot on the Capitol’s West Lawn at 6 a.m. Friday. Crews spent most of the morning getting the tree off the truck and into its upright position on Capitol Hill.

Two men captured on video killing, mutilating cat in California

Two men were caught on tape killing and mutilating a stray cat in Pomona, California, and police remain on the lookout for the suspects.

The dark and grainy video shows two men stopping their vehicle in front of a business at 560 Union Avenue and fatally shooting a feline in the parking lot. The cat was initially seen flailing before it died.

The men then jump over the fence and approach the cat. One of the men takes out a sharp object and cuts the animal open as the other man records the incident on his cellphone.

CALIFORNIA MOM KILLED BABY BY SUFFOCATING HER DURING BREASTFEEDING, AUTHORITIES SAY

Store owners discovered the mutilated cat the next morning and alerted Pomona Police and the Inland Valley Humane Society.

“We’ve never had anything like this happen, it’s horrible,” Collin Lee of the Pomona business told FOX 11.

DRIVER IN WRONG-WAY WHITTIER CRASH RELEASED HOURS AFTER ARREST FOR ALLEGEDLY SLAMMING INTO SHERIFF’S RECRUITS

Authorities released surveillance video of the men and asked the public for help identifying them.

CFR Patio employees feed the feral cats in the area and have taken some of the felines home. But, they say, “we can’t take every one of them, so we try to take care of them here as much as we can.”

Some of the cats are pretty friendly, including the one that was killed, named Scruffy. Someone was preparing their home to take the cat with them.

The humane society has taken the cat’s body as evidence, and are watching security video from other businesses in the area to help with the investigation.

Vendia | Product and Engineering | Remote | Full-Time | https://www.vendia.net/careers

Vendia is hiring. These past few months on HackerNews, we’ve tried to differentiate Vendia through light humour and demonstrating why our team is awesome. In light of the ~50K layoffs in the last 3 months, we recognize the seriousness of the situation and are dropping the snark to focus on our core message: Vendia is hiring talented people to solve hard problems.

We’re looking for senior candidates with a minimum of 8 years experience in the SaaS / IaaS / B2B / Cloud / Distributed Compute / Database space, focusing on Software Engineering, Software Dev Management and Technical Product Management roles. How are we still hiring? At Vendia, we care about our team members and have shunned the hire fast, fire fast mentality, focusing instead on hiring responsibly & intentionally.

Our core value proposition centers around the fact that sharing business data is both critical and fundamentally difficult. We empower customers by enabling them to share data across silos (clouds, geographies, companies), enabling a single view (no more duplication), guaranteeing customers retain compliance, security, privacy and access control of their data. Vendia enables this by solving hard engineering problems: distributed computing & storage, consensus, multi-party writes, immutable ledgers, multi cloud and much more.

Right now, we’re ~45 folks strong. We’re a remote first company, with an office in Seattle and coworking spaces available. We’re willing to sponsor H1B eligible candidates. And we differentiate ourselves from other tech companies with our Kind Humans Policy.

Meticulous (YC S21) is hiring engineer #3 in London

Hey HN,

I’m Gabriel, founder of Meticulous.

Our mission is to make the world’s code safe, performant and reliable. We’re starting with a tool to catch JavaScript regressions in web applications with zero-effort from developers.

How it works: Insert a single line of JavaScript onto your site, and we record thousands of real user sessions. We then replay these sessions on new code to automatically catch bugs before they hit production. You can watch a 60-second demo at meticulous.ai.

We are a London-based YC company. Our engineering team previously worked at Dropbox, Opendoor and Google. We just raised $4m, and are backed by some of the best founders and technical leaders in Silicon Valley, including Guillermo Rauch (founder Vercel, author next.js), Jason Warner (CTO GitHub), Scott Belsky (CPO Adobe), Calvin French-Owen (founder Segment), Jared Friedman (YC partner and former CTO of Scribd) and a bunch of other incredible folks.

Catching JavaScript regressions is just the start. There is an entire category of products to build on top of replay. This ranges from automatic UI previews to revealing the performance impact of frontend code.

We want to change the way the world develops software, and influence software approaches for decades to come.

We are seeding a London office and hiring an onsite (few days per week) founding engineer to join our team of four.

You will have autonomy in building out this technology, but here are a few problems you might work on:

– Build a distributed system to concurrently replay thousands of sessions, such that a developer gets a result in seconds.

– Speed up the replay of sessions in a way that retains determinism.

– Derive algorithms to detect sessions that cover differing code paths and edge cases, and ignore sessions that are too similar.

– Help build out a team of world-class, highly collaborative, software engineers.

As founding engineer, you get to shape the company, and build the culture and technology from the ground up.

What we look for:

In a sentence: Technically brilliant, delightful to work with, combined with a self-awareness and strong desire to improve. We also want to make sure everyone is highly supportive of each other; we win as a team.

We’re currently only looking to bring on folks with senior level skill sets and 5+ years of industry experience. You should have strong web fundamentals and a deep love for software engineering. Maybe you enjoy programming books like Clean Code, Designing Data Intensive Applications, Pragmatic Programmer etc. or enjoy hacking on interesting side projects. You value transparency and candid feedback, and are motivated by a strong desire to become the best engineer you can be.

You can read about our values here https://sumptuous-lungfish-609.notion.site/Meticulous-values…

You will be given the space and time to up-level yourself as an engineer in terms of conferences, reading, or whatever you think will be most valuable. We will also set you up with mentorship, if you desire it, from top engineering leaders (folks running 100-engineer organizations at the world’s leading tech companies).

If this sounds interesting, please reach out to me at gabe [at] meticulous [dot] ai with “HN” in the subject line and 2-3 sentences about what you find interesting about Meticulous and your resume/LinkedIn/GitHub.
