Big fan of Jellyfin. I see a lot of comments mentioning problems with the client. I use it on an Amazon FireTV (you can download jellyfin directly from Amazon's app store, no side loading needed). It seems to work well on that platform

I'm very interested in converting images to 3d models. Really cool tech that feels like it's nearly there. Have you by chance seen any of the work Facebook has been doing related to the 2d to 3d conversions? https://git

You know what I would really like is an editor. When I read it I'm the editor as I skip over all the stuff that's too verbose. Obviously that's a hard problem picking on what is or isn't newsworthy though.

A book that was useful for me was Feeling Great by David Burns.

No not all! Perfectly reasonable question. As Kinrany pointed out there is a website called https://levels.fyi for tech jobs. It's like glassdoor but good. You can poke around there and see comp at various companies. There

I think it's a hard sell for where you're currently at career-wise. If you're interested in it you could approach it from a hobbyist perspective just for the joy of programming. You might find that somewhat useful later when

I've looked for this same thing and haven't been able to find one I liked. The weekly model definitely seems missing in the market (you can certainly see the incentives at play.) What I use instead is the current events page on Wi

Wow that's amazing. I wonder if one day there will be something like this available for the quest 2. John Carmack, delivering as usual.

I know just the feeling you mean. I get it when I read history too, especially biographies that cover a whole life. I can't remember where I originally read this but once someone suggested that you could also invert this idea for a fre

Use a wiki for a knowledge base. Cheer people adding info to the wiki, even incomplete info. Require no approval from anyone to update. Allow the entire company to update the wiki, with revision history. Trust the employees to correct wrong

I suspect who you will eventually see move into this space is Airbnb. This may be some time off though and after they absorb hotel booking. Another possible one is Zillow or one of the real estate apps. They seem less savvy than the Airbnb

One of the hardest parts of applying to FAANG or any job is how draining it is to go through the trouble of applying and then not even getting a response. I've been there, it feels bad every time. I've been involved in hiring at m

As use goes up serverless gets more expensive. If you have 20 connections per month, you have to pay for the VM or container running all month even though it's getting no traffic 99% the time. If you have many millions of connections a

It doesn't work across multiple games but Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has a system where you enter your phone number to verify your account and then can queue only with other verified players.

Often they're boring and low production value. I've watched a few courses that were nearly as compelling as a TV show. Once you realize that's possible you really miss it in normal courses.

It would be against their ToS I think (not positive about that. Worth investingating). A thought I have had before is that a person could download let's say, the 10,000 most popular books and all college textbooks they could find, wire

Hacker news is pretty good. I wish it wasn't this way but it seems like a lot of communities are switching to slack and discord. Google for a topic you're interested in + discord or slack and there is a good chance you'll fin

$500k is an outlier but I stand by my wheelbarrows full of cash comment generally. Tech pays well, compared to a lot of careers certainly. If you're in the US there is a pretty clear path to get into FAANG. It's just painful. Goog

Insanely....awesome! When I was a kid I wanted to be a hacker because I wanted to be able to make computers do stuff. Nobody said anything about wheelbarrows full of cash.

Completely understandable and I mostly just added that to make it clear that I wasn't disagreeing your reasoning. I think I would have done the same thing in your shoes.

Consulting / freelancing seems like it would be the best fit for what you're describing. As you pointed out that involves work to setup. You can pay someone to set it up for you. Typically they take 50%-60% of the the total amount

This maps to how I've learned a lot of things. The first time I learned how to make a webapp I did it with cgi-bin and bash or something even though even at that time there were much better ways of doing it. Being able to see the whole
