I am a frontend developer, but from afar, backend looks harder. I think the challenge is being able to look at all things that are new and choosing the ones that matter. From your post, I think you are failing hard at this. I safely ignore

No thoughts about the fish, but I was recently very surprised to learn that some people exclude my country, Brazil, from “western” culture. Like you did opposing “developing” and “westerners”. Aside from geographical position, I certainly f

I laughed at this one: ” If any of them were surprised at this seeming paradox, they certainly didn’t show it.”

So that’s the reason they in the latest iOS they moved the URL bar and navigation buttons to the bottom of the screen, to use with one hand. I prefer small phones (iPhone SE 2nd was the first ever iPhone I bought because of that reason) but

I practice an extremely casual version of the hobby to the point it is not even a hobby. I did a bonsai course more than 20 years ago. I practiced in the course on my first tree that died weeks later. Then I bought another plant, created th

I think the “lost swagger” thing is that there was a decision made behind closed doors that he knew was bad and chose not to speak up. So when that decision indeed caused something bad, he emailed the CEO explaining why they should have kno

Great tip! It is hard to find removable wired IEM around here, but just found a local e-commerce representative for Shure so just bought exactly a Shire SE 215!

I never had a wired in-ear earphone that lasted more than 2 years. My guess is 90% didn’t pass the one year mark. I use it while commuting, going to the supermarket, cleaning the house, etc. Any recommendation of a wired in-ear earphone tha

Congrats! I just completed the easy demo on an iPhone SE and it worked great. No issue at all with selecting and positioning the pieces. Great work! The UX is not good only because of the screen size. Either you see too few of the pieces or

I think it depends on your country. Also I am not sure how well legal terms translate. I am in Brazil, so I created what I would call a ”sole proprietor company” that can export services.

by soneca 5y ago
Yep, that’s exactly what I am doing, for all the reasons you said.

Thanks, makes sense. On my side is all good. I formed a company to export services. But that’s why I wonder why more companies don’t do this

Exactly as mettamage said, so yes, more of an employment/tax law question. Anyone on YC to do a AMA on that? :)

What are the legal risks for a US company to hire a foreign contractor in a model that is more like of a full time employee? I am the foreign contractor in this situation and I like it. I wish many more companies would hire this way, since

That’s the point, it is un-optimized to the point where it’s addictiveness is an order of magnitude lower. Optimization is what generates addictive behavior in social media. Optimize to feed you with infinite new posts with minimal fraction

You missed the point. Try to keep up with everything on Reddit or Facebook or Instagram or Twitter if you follow enough people. You can’t. It is impossible. It is designed to be impossible in order to be addictive. HN it is not only possibl

by soneca 5y ago
I think HN is very different from Reddit, in the sense that I don’t think is addictive at all (for me). HN doesn’t have infinite scroll, doesn’t have infinite pages with different posts. And that’s what I think would make something addictiv

My current impression of AR/VR is that is the new 3D TV: it is a futuristic-looking tech that big companies were pushing like crazy because its adoption would mean a whole new market and revenue stream to be created. Only that no one r

I believe the company should know by themselves from his name only, not to learn about it from his resume. It might be common for companies to not know that, but I don’t think it makes it less broken.

Not sure why this was flagged before, but vouched for it. It is an amusing anedocte that illustrates a broken piece of tech recruiting. Not particularly deep or enlightening, but not worth being flagged also IMO

I was comparing leetcode to sideprojects, not take home assignments. The parent company was also talking about side projects. Side projects will help you learn useful skills and it is the suggestion of OP that it should be used by more comp

I think it does. And I think the argument that it is useful for other to learn about that person and the general approach they use and avoid being scammed a pretty persuasive argument. The situation I imagine is someone outside of the park

Isn’t the time spent memorizing leetcode similar to the time spent building a side-project? I took a look at leetcode when I was interviewing and decided it was a waste of time for me to learn that dance. I was happy with my chances with th
