That's me also. Maybe not fair as I'm more likely to be the boss since I have 20+ years of experience but no way am I working under those constraints.

So I'm an app developer, native iOS and Android. It's my passion, enough that I've decided to work in server side and data engineering instead of app dev in my day job after being a mobile dev for 7+ years. I watch all the WW

Not the Parent but the orignal numbers come form the CDC but I'm not sure where the graph is from. Here are links to the last two years of data, embedded in a comment I made on HN recently: From the CDC: In 2019, a total of 2,854,838 r

Is VSCode's Jupyter extension much better than PyCharm's? Just curious, I prefer PyCharm over VSCode for normal python dev work. By a lot but I get it's personal preference, so I'm curious.

I use PyCharm's Juypter plugin and it's seemed far better for me. I work in Python everyday but I'm more on the data engineering and app security/architecture side of things than straight up Data Science. I don't us

I'll live where ever I want to thanks. I have ZERO desire to life close to anything and I can you do a great job at home. If you can't that's on you not me.

I can assure you that a much larger cohort of employees are vastly more effective. No commute alone is a MASSIVE gain.

I hated my Surface Pro when I had, granted this was 3 years ago. It had terrible battery life, windows was horrible with the touchscreen, very few apps responded to touch events at all let alone correctly. All together one of the worst lapt

I understand how both work and I LOVE both push button starting modern cars and computing appliances. I'd rather have an iPad and all the extra time it saves me to learn new things than fuddle with a desktop PC. Just like owning a Tesl

I honestly think there is a case for removing this post as misinformation. At least adding a note or something. In general I'd expect the level of conversation to be higher on HN than this. 0.2% is a ridiculous and dangerously bad bit

7 people out of 7 million dose's. That's why they stopped. My wife and I got the J&J shot on Saturday so I'm directly at risk and I'd take it everytime even if the risk was 10 times what it currently is. I've al

Right..... The only thing I've been an activist about is climate change. I do my best to support the communities that you ignore as SJW's but prefer to let them have their own voice. The funny thing is you don't just kinda pr

How can you say they have zero skin in the game after watching video after video after video of Black people being murdered. After an elected president brags about sexual assault. After Asian hate crimes are occurring all over the country.

When you have a two party system and no one outside of their narrow policy definitions can be elected (not as it's illegal but as in not one can overcome the completely biased system) you vote for a representative is a de-facto vote fo

I have done this, I moved to Southern Maine from Ohio. A large reason was the political environment. The problem is that most people aren't satisfied with live and let live. You can see this in the flooding of courts with conservative

I'd also recommend Old Fort Niagra and the US Niagra on Lake Erie/Ontario. Also read about Oliver Hazard Perry and the Battle of Lake Erie. I believe it's still the largest recorded fresh water naval battle in history and qui

I loved working with the Beam VM and Elixir. I just wish it had a stronger presence in the Data/ML/AI fields. As scalable and trivially parallizable as Elixir is with a fast SciPy/NumPy/Pandas type of eco-system and you&

I've been in that situation 3 times, I choose React Native and Flutter each once. I was forced to use Ionic. I would NEVER use Ionic again, terrible experience and very difficult to get decent quality/performance. I like Flutter&#

Are you a native mobile developer? I am (was I'm moving to ML/AI/Data engineering) and I don't think flutter is in any way easier or nicer than the native toolchains for mobile. Both Swift and Kotlin are better languages

They were 15% lower than my other job offers in August timeframe. Given the rep for requiring crazy hours and the middling pay, I wasn't interested.

$1300 is pricy but not as bad as it seems when you consider that it comes with the controller and FPV goggles. I really wish there was a decent competitor to DJI in the commercial drone space. FPV does at least have a fairly diverse market

Food has two types of cost, market value and ecosystem cost. It always has been this case. It's the very reason that crop rotation was discovered. By improving the ecosystem that you farm in (in this case soil but Tree windbreaks also

Have three graphics tablets, while they are FAR superior for art work they are not at all better for rotation. In fact I use blender on Mac and regularly use the trackpad to zoom and rotate because it's far more precise. Similar for 2D

Where did he say that was the ONLY requirement? It's possibly the most important for him but unlikely to be the only requirement.
