How about finding a (parttime) job again and doing a challenging side project? Maybe something you saw at your job that could be improved on/automated but was considered too hard/expensive? Lifting weights is generally a good pla

I have seen sites that are vulnerable to this; - the hackers signs up with xxxx@gmail.com via the normal email/pass way - the email arrives in xxxx their mailbox but it is ignored (might even be flagged as something they don’t read any

I have this more with flies. Maybe because there aren’t many mosquitos here but very fat lazy flies are buzzing all around and landing on you too many months of the year.

I like this a lot, however, it would be great if he had created and actual robot that created the windows for real. My great grandfather was an expert at these and restored them for many churches; to see a robot learning and practicing this

I was never laid off because I never had a job, but I lived through those 2 downturns and many people I know got laid off. As I lived in EU countries, they got unemployment benefits without issues, but even then some sold their houses and a

I should have split up that sentence I guess. I didn’t actually mean to say sicp is quick (although I’m wouldn’t say a year if you are already a good developer); implementing a scheme is quick to learn and do, however I don’t think you will

Not much really; I would recommend working through SICP [0], it is fun and in the end you know a lot and can move on from there to even more advanced topics. Together with the YouTube recordings of the lectures about the book will give you

As someone who lived in a bunch of countries with and without English or my native language (Dutch); I would say; just try it. There are many places where you won’t mesh with the locals generally; I was in hk and Shanghai for years and soci

There is also gigabyte as open source. In our tests (which means nothing in general as it’s specific to our business case), it outperforms cockroachdb.

I think this is important; I am in a bunch of startup hubs in the eu/uk as technical validator and tech expert and over the last 10 years of doing that, I haven’t heard 1 team that wanted to go for unicorn growth. There is money enough

The rittenhouse(?) case (which is used over here now to show how crazy Americans really are unfortunately) shows that this is a rather broad concept in the US (maybe depending on the state?).

Yes, but I am more tolerant of that personally, because I used to work via elance (upwork has roots there) and you have to respond to many jobs to get attention. So I understand many go wide and wait with details until they get invited to a

I find it easier than traditional means to weed out real talent. Most our best people we found there. But I am aware of how horrible people here are at interviewing (from reading the time wasting ways they interview and give people tasks to

I tried to sign up for that from the EU and it was very painful; I didn't manage to get through it. That feels very much like Oracle though.

The 'advertise' with 3-5 year per SMR, but it seems that's not reality. Otherwise, we would be plonking down a lot more more of them in parallel I would think.

Wouldn't be too hard to include package the JSON with the final product or generate code though.

We had one frontend engineer in the 80s/90s doing TP and Delphi frontends, and he was also doing some backend work because frontend work was very easy and fast. We now have 10 frontend devs and I don’t find it an improvement. It looks

My experience as well; I had to become really intimate with aws over the years because I noticed more and more that consultants we hire (we don’t need fulltime) for aws or other cloud setups, pull wool over your eyes by throwing out terms (

The Idris group. It is very rich if you enjoy that type of thing. I seriously do not like it isn’t publicly indexable. So much lovely stuff gets lost when they close a channel.

The thing is that people with RVs in Europe usually hop around countries a lot. In Australia or the US there is enough space in the country. Almost everyone who has an RV stay 2-3 months per country and then go to another. A group of people

Google Fi looks like a mobile plan? I never checked it because cannot order that in the EU.

I don't know too much about it, but a few of my friends who have a normal one and on reddit I saw starlink doesn't work beyond country boundaries... that is a real no-no in the EU as for instance popping from Spain to pt or pt to

There is a lot of competition in the uk/eu I guess. Everyone has Revolut etc already.

You say that on one of the top over engineering forums in the world. People on HN are running their startups like they will soon be larger than Google or Meta, building their architecture and software like that; not like you suggest.

We are trying to do something novel on this intersection you speak of. I hope we figure it out far enough. But yes, you are right in sketching the current situation; I firmly believe we could’ve been a lot further than we are and I intend t

I actually wish every teaching book was written like this. I learn much faster like this than mostly every other way.

Yep... Fairly bizar that a smalltalk env on an old computer is faster for iteration than the modern react/typescript stack. Better errors, easier to debug etc. All because the tooling was from the future. React peeps think hot reload i
