My angle is that I myself struggle with this too. And I've met quite a few people who struggle with similar issues. And 'loneliness' as a more general topic has been a central 'interest' in my life precisely because I know how terrible the feeling is, and because it's perhaps the worst feeling I've had in my life so far.

Anyways, I didn't mean to insult you or treat you like a specimen, so I'm sorry if that's how I came across. I'd honestly love to talk about this more if you're open to it. If so, you can find my email address on my profile.

Again, sorry for upsetting you! I hope things improve for you.

Ask HN: What did you do differently to ensure completion of your side projects?
I often start side projects to explore new ideas or learn a new technology, but have a bad habit of leaving them half-finished.

If you were like me at some point, what work habits or best practices did you develop that enabled & encouraged you to start seeing your projects through to the end?
I tried sending you an email at doh@pex.com, but it bounced back.

Overview | Junior Developer | South London, UK | FULL-TIME, ONSITE, must be eligible to work in the UK, no equity, London engineering level salary, http://overview.co.uk

Join a small team using Thermal imaging, LIDAR, high-end point/tilt/zoom video to develop next generation surveillance cameras.

You enjoy programming, are strong at maths/physics/engineering, learn quickly and can communicate clearly. With us you can work on video, thermal imaging, motor control, electronics and mechanics, and the whole extended image pipeline from the principles of imaging up to high level deep learning models of behaviour.

Programming is primarily in C/C++ plus potentially CUDA/Python. Environments will be Windows/Linux with a likely transition to embedded. Work will vary from the drudgy (getting 3rd party motor control boards to work) to the speculative (how well do CNNs work on Thermal imaging at range) to the necessary (data capture expeditions).

You must be ok with surveillance/ defence-related work.

Overview is a CCTV manufacturing SME with a strong engineering & research culture.

If interested, please send an email to recruitment@overview.co.uk . The email must contain a single paragraph saying why you think you fit this role, plus CV. Links to code are always good.

NO AGENCIES PLEASE.

Application process is email->phone interview->on-site interview (maybe x2). Salary is engineering level, so reasonable but lower than City/Fully backed start-up/BigTechCo.

I have been using canvaspop.com for prints at home. They're affordable, more than they are great, but from the couch they look fine.

Uber for X Startups that Failed
I still don't believe the $250k figure :)

I make exactly half of that here in Florida (a fairly low cost area) as a senior dev and my salary has definitely plateaued (and I haven't had a raise in a few years).

I know I make more than most of my peers and local recruiters scoff when I tell them my current pay (I had to talk my current employer up about $30k just to match my salary at my previous employer to get me to switch -- and they only did so because they were quite obviously desperate).

A several people have replied to you by mentioning the Ryzen kernel panics. That's a thing and it's getting fixed by hook or by crook, but it's not everything. Here[1] is an example; Ryzen only received no-workarounds-needed support for ESXi 30 days ago. Another[1]; you can't monitor CPU temps in Linux yet for lack of driver support. That sort of thing is a non-starter in a cloud data center when you're managing megawatts. The truth is that the 'enterprise' has been wrapped around the Intel axle for years and AMD has a lot of catch up to do before it has parity with Intel.

There are enterprise people that will adopt AMD for the shear $/compute value, but until you can find rackable Dell SKUs and Supermicro server motherboards with AMD sockets and the whole 'enterprise' software stack is fully ironed out Intel can and will command a premium. It will happen, eventually (assuming AMD continues to compete,) but it's not here yet.

But supply is meeting demand at that point, right?

It implies a shortage, because of the price point. Because demand far outstrips supply, which drives price up.
I don't think you should really count the operating system by the kernel. You should count it by the API it exposes. That's what really matters.

Under this system Android and ChromeOS wouldn't really be counted as Linux because you can't easily run normal Linux programs on them. Although they may use Linux under the hood, that isn't really visible to user-space programs. Android, and especially ChromeOS could easily switch kernel with no visible effect to apps. The kernel is an implementation detail.

How to Create a Website “Blueprint” During Project Scoping: A Whitepaper
I think this misses another critical point.

The platform owner only retains control of the transactions, if they keep the buyer and seller from getting to know one another.

For Uber, thats easy, because the nature of the service means you want a close car (typically, a different one each time)

But for Uber for local babysitting, why would the buyer and seller not just leave the platform permanently after meeting, and transact directly, saving both the fee?

"Sharing economy platform" commercial success depends on avoiding lasting local human connection.

Depends on what Clubber's think tank produced. If you create "reports" (they don't call 'em studies, and for good reason) media outlets can use for story hooks you might get plenty of traction.

Also, you need to call your think tank something meaningless and anodyne like "People United for Truth and Justice". Because who isn't united for truth and justice?

There is also the HERS Index, which is probably the most popular: https://www.resnet.us/hers-index.

22% of homes received HERS Index Scores in 2016. It is a simple score that indicates the efficiency of a home. A score of 0 represents Net-Zero, and score of 100 represents a "typical home". If you're buying a home (and you care), you should ask if it has been HERS Rated and to see the HERS Certificate.

The reason it's not supported is not because "Fuck you", but because supporting a feature is not as easy as just rolling it out.

What's important is what happens AFTER the rollout. Most people (like the author) have no idea what's going on behind the scenes and just think it would be a simple thing, and criticize the company based on this assumption.

But I am sure these same people will be the ones who complain the most when the company does end up rolling out the half-baked features.
How about making wednesday mornings, a 4hr 'personal project' time? Make it a requirement that everyone has to work with tools at the edge of their skillset, that is also relevant to work, but let them choose what, why, how. They could work on a personal project, or experiment with a new library or tool they would like to incorporate.

Start the day with a "not really a standup", where people can quickly explain what they want to accomplish in the next four hours.

Once a month, you spend a couple of hours of the time demoing the work you have done for each other, explaining the technology and what you have learned, and then discussing and evaluating our individual technical weaknesses and deciding what to do next. This rest of this monthly meeting could also be spent improving social coding skills - code and commit hygiene, team processes etc.

Not only would this keep people technically sharp but it keeps them from playing with toys in production and breaks up the work week, while still fulfilling company goals.
The "skill versus urgency" illustration has me wondering if the author foresaw or even intended the resulting arguments over whether or not, for example, web design requires more skill than dog training. It's one way to get people talking about the article, I suppose.
Does the syntax of most programming languages get into the way of macro systems? Is that why most of the languages in the article are Lisps?
This seems like a major risk at companies with software departments.

The fastest way to solve a problem like "I need a report with all of this data" or "I can't login to the system" is to ask a programmer or DBA personally. But the best way is to go through some kind of channel that blocks simple requests at a managerial or IT level, so larger projects don't slip under the weight of random requests.

The customer service model here is actually quite instructive. For someone with a 'real' problem, talking to a T1 rep is a useless waste of time. But customers still get routed through T1 because the alternative is eating up scarce time with simple issues.

If I had to guess, a strategy like this works for Tesla because they've got a culture that supports it (i.e. "find the simplest solution") and a highly technical workforce. This looks like a serious case of a context-specific solution.
In my comment the content provider is what you termed the ad buyer. When you say consumer, who are you referring to? A person who visits a website with an advertisement? If so, they are not a party involved in an economic transaction.

> Ad fraud almost always means the ad buyer being defrauded by buying digital advertising that is not executed according to contract terms, if at all

If this is what you mean by fraud, why do you say there are no consequences for the violation of the contract? The ad buyer can seek recourse through a civil suit. Additionally the ad buyer can switch to a different advertisement provider.
Which is the main reason why I will never use any Über for anything.
