Ask HN: How to find job again after career break?
Around two years ago I found myself in a deep depression, burnt out, and I quit my job. Luckily, I was in a place financially and personally to be able to take a break from work. I didn’t really have a plan, I just knew that something needed to change.

I’m happy to report that I was able to find a way out of my depression, and I would like to resume my fulfilling career as a developer (which was mostly as a frontend developer). But I’m lost as to the best way to do so. I originally got my first job through self teaching and a boot camp. I feel as though I “sold” myself as a self motivated, smart guy who was ready to tackle whatever. That “sale” worked because that is what I was, I’m not a good salesman, I just told the truth. I quickly moved up in pay and responsibility over four and a half years.

Now, however, I struggle with the idea that I seem washed up, and out of practice. I’ve taken some online courses and done open source work. But my history looks like patchwork (ala Github graph), and I haven’t had a real job in two years.

I know the common strategies: build something, write a blog, work as a freelancer, etc. In order to get back into the game. I was able to get myself my first job with no experience, but now I feel like I’m less employable because of my hiatus.

I wasn’t sure how this post would come out. It turned out that I used “I feel” a lot. I know the practical steps to get back into my career. Maybe I’m looking for encouragement. For you kind souls who have read this far - if you have any practical advice or personal anecdotes, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you.
I would like to read this but I can't reach the web server. Is it just me?

Had the same issue with another article from this same site a couple of days ago. Looks like everyone else is able to read it but for some reason not me.

Anyone know what's going on?
I don't know how many of you tried the engine, but there are 2 features that instantly took my attention:

1) Trackers Stats. Essentially, you can see how many and what trackers there are on the page you are about to visit. Before visiting it.

2) Page previews (I'm not sure about whether I like that)
That's one very lucky driver.

What about "Equal pay for equal work"? Why should a company pay their single, infertile, gay, older, or otherwise childless employees less for doing the same job?

We've just gone full-circle from the 1950s notion that a married man should get a higher salary because he had a family to take care than a single man or a woman, only instead of it being a top-line higher salary now it's the same salary but with thousands of dollars in paid-leave, healthcare funding, childcare subsidies, etc.

And don't pretend it's for "the good of society" or something - we don't give paid leave to do charity work with the poor or environmental cleanup or anything that would actually meaningfully improve the world.
I think it would be fine to contextualize it as "collaboration". E.g., "real-time collaboration app". You might also say immediate, instant, simultaneous, or live collaboration. Or you could be more specific about the context. Etherpad, for example describes itself as "Etherpad allows you to edit documents collaboratively in real-time, much like a live multi-player editor that runs in your browser."
From what I've been seeing, despite the PinePhone having worse specs and not as much privacy focus it's going to absolutely chew up the LibreM 5's marketshare purely because it's more bang-for-buck.
The Kinect sold many units quickly because so many people already had Xboxes or Windows gaming PCs, and it was relatively cheap. It's since been discontinued.

Azure is popular due to all the corporates moving their application hosting and data storage off on-premise servers to the cloud.

Neither of these products/platforms has led/is leading to whole new categories of products/companies being created, which is the specific context in which PG was suggesting MS was "dead".

FWIW, arguably the biggest game-changing innovation in gaming in the past 10 years has been Twitch, which was a YC company.

Take "sync" out of the mouth-inserted words and it's an exact representation of OP's claim: that AMP pages will gravitate toward being just as JS-laden as non-AMP pages.

What if you're into houses, you don't have a car, don't have a computer, you spend all your money on a nice house. Why should you pay more local taxes than people who pay one-time taxes on stuff (computers, music, clothing#?

If we believe rich people should pay more taxes (higher percentage), then we have already established a system for this. Why not making local taxes a fraction of income taxes?

Why are lower class people who's only capital is their house taxed on their capital, while rich people who own bonds and stock not get taxed on THEIR capital?
There's a part of what you're saying that I really strongly agree with, which is that I don't think anyone in their right mind can just say "Well look at China" and use that as a basis to give up on trying to curb emissions everywhere that isn't China. Some people are making that argument in this thread, and I think that way of thinking is deeply confused, and you are right to criticize it.

What I'm not sure I follow is the relationship you seem to believe exists between per-capita emissions and responsibility to curb them. Emissions need to be curbed in proportion to their percentage of overall global emissions, not in proportion to per-capita consumption. You can vary the per-capita statistics however you like, and as long as the absolute emissions are the same, the damage to the planet is the same. Those emissions could be coming from one person or a trillion. If China had ten billion people, or fifty billion or a hundred it would still be just as incumbent upon them to curb such emissions as they are producing.

Everything else about "implicit beliefs", the "leaps" you believe people to be taking, the questions of who should or shouldn't be blamed are abstract, highly subjective, and while important, should be considered without letting them derail the conversations around needed next steps to curb emissions.
Many comments refer to this as "Amazon promoting its own products over competitors" but that's not the right way to look at this. They aren't promoting their own products, they're promoting exclusively the Ring/Blink/Echo family.

In the past I've bought Amazon house brand clothing, batteries, sheets. They aren't promoting similar products that I'm likely to buy. Instead more than half the storefront is devoted to Echo products which I've never bought, and never will.

This isn't a case of "here's something we think you'll like," it's "here's something we want you to have."
While I have not read this source personally it should be noted that most scholars treat sociological papers from this era about other cultures as somewhat embarrassing. They are usually written from a western civilization supremacy perspective. They tend to be poorly researched on the culture of the groups they are writing about because it is assumed that it must be inferior to western culture, after all the people are mindless savages are they not, what could an obviously superior western academic possibly learn from them. The fact that the paper covers numerous cultures makes me even more suspect.

It's actually reacting to what you say. Your action is appended onto the previous story and fed into the model to generate the next part of the result. Sometimes it does fail to tie the result close enough to the action you had, perhaps with more training data it could do better on that front.

What hardware did you use to train 1.5B? And how do you know 1.5B is more effective than 774M?

I've suspected that 774M is equally effective to 1.5B. OpenAI's own human testing seemed to confirm that. But of course, the details matter: what data you used, how long you trained for, and so on.

We're trying to train 1.5B on poetry, and progress is slow. Did you have access to a massive GPU?
Interesting project and seems they've put a lot of work into it. I wish, however, that projects like this wouldn't use words to describe their performance ("High-precision") that are only meaningful given a user's intended application(s). For example, whether using a bluetooth RSSI technique for localization is considered "high-precision" depends completely on the user's intended application and the other components present within the system, including hardware and the environment (both of which could be uncontrollable).

Incidentally, the name of the project does a good job at capturing exactly what it is, "Framework for Internal Navigation and Discovery".
> 2) Now you take the tests at time t and t+1. However, at time t the test was less popular, so only 0.5% of the top speakers took the test, while at t+1 1% of the top speakers took the test. You would conclude that a lower score a time t+1 implies that the skill got worse, while it might have very well improved by a lot.

I agree with this in full. I don't see what it's responding to in my comment, though.

> 1) Let's say that the top 1% of English speakers of countries A and B took the test. You say "the gaps then would be wider than reported". Wrong, even if in this 1% sample country A scores the highest, it might very well have lower overall proficiency. If proficiency is normally distributed, but has a much greater variance in country A than country B, the maximum of A will be higher than of B, even with a lower average.

I'm not following you here. I claimed that when the test pool for each country is strongly self-selected for interest in English, the gap between the countries' average proficiency levels (in reality) is very likely to be larger than the gap between those countries' average test scores. The test scores are suffering from restriction of range.

An example in which country A has higher test scores than B at the same time it has lower proficiency looks like an example of that phenomenon, not a counterexample.

If A and B have the same mean proficiency and different variance, and selection into the test pool is driven only by proficiency, then the country with higher variance will test better under this system while having the same mean proficiency, that's true.

True! Good point and clarification.

The nice aspect of pg-structure for me was getting all of that information_schema goodness already pulled out into hashes/DTOs from a 1-line "await pgStructure(...)" call.

I.e. w/o pg-structure, I'd probably end up writing a mini/hacky version of it that did the same thing, "do these ~3-4 SQL queries and mash them into some nice hashes for my code generator to consume".

Which is not terrible, but it's easier to just pull in another npm package. :-)
This emotional reasoning is not much better than Star War's light side/dark side logic. Anger turns to hate, hate turns to suffering, ect.

This kind of reasoning acts as if it can remove all else for the sake of a single revealed hidden feeling that guides belief.

I think there are many factors that go into belief, emotions can have multiple outcomes and similarities between feelings and observed beliefs do not prove each other.

Yes.

It is definitely possible to do a PhD part-time: many universities offer part-time PhD programs, and I know people who have done this.

Doing it part-time and remotely is harder: even if a university allows this, an individual academic might (quite-understandably) not want to supervise a student on this basis.

I do know of one person who successfully completed a PhD at London South Bank University whilst living in Canada: he traveled to London a few times for physical meetings with his supervisor, and had more frequent electronic communications with them. He also had the advantage that the subject of this thesis was related to what he was doing in his job.

> I don't mind having an always-on Android phone with a microphone and 2 cameras...

I'm not happy that I don't have the option of a hardware switch to disable the cameras and mics on a phone, but I can do everything a smart speaker does without bugging my home in the process.

If a company like samsung, LG, or Motorola offered a phone that really took user privacy seriously I think they'd find a lot of people would be interested, but until then I just have to assume my phone is spying on me at all times and I limit how I use it and what data I enter into it as a result.

"Yet your central point remains, the core of the language is Germanic."

Of those words, the ones with latin origins are:

* remains

* core

* language

* Germanic

Next time you're having a conversation with your wife, count the number of microphones in the room. I'd be shocked if it's zero.

I'm not asking "why do you need privacy if you have nothing to hide?". I'm asking why don't you have protocols in place that you can enable for private conversations? If I've got my phone on me, I assume Google and governments can hear anything in microphone range. You should too.

Only you can decide how you want to define your threat model, but "Google can hear you already through your phone so why not install more microphones in your house" should be a compelling argument if you've already established which areas of your house are meant to be private.

You could have no IoT devices and demand all occupants and visitors check their phones at the door, if that's how you choose to live. I'm not passing judgment on where to draw the line, but it doesn't make any sense to be afraid of Alexa devices in your living room while you're sitting on your couch scrolling through Facebook on your Android device and watching Netflix on your "smart tv".
Genetic Evidence for Human Self Domestication
I did have access to a cluster of GPUs through my professor's lab so compute wasn't as much of an issue. And it may be true that 774M is equally effective. I haven't played around with 774M enough to know. I had a decent amount of data so I think that helped me get more out of the 1.5 B param model then if my dataset was sparser.

I did notice that having a large batch size and training slowly was important for me to get better results.

You're right that the "trickle down" effects of minimum wage laws will impact everyone in society to some extent. But it seems like a fairly obvious conclusion that people eating at McDonalds and shopping at Walmart, will be impacted more than someone who only buys premium organic food and spends the majority of his income on other luxuries.

> you are really talking a negative income tax or UBI. At which point, you are probably better off supporting those proposals instead of pushing the EITC.

I do support UBI too but it seems like an extreme stretch to say that is easier to sell than EITC. Especially when you consider that EITC already exists today as a federal law, and UBI does not.

> Personally, I'm not a fan of subsidizing low margin businesses that from a Capitalist perspective should probably be allowed to die if their workers can't afford to live on what they pay.

Allowing McDonalds to hire workers at wages set by supply-and-demand, is the very opposite of a subsidy. Killing off profitable low-margin businesses, will by definition, lower the nation's GDP and tax base. Everyone, especially the workers like the one featured in the article, will be far better off in a world where profitable low-margin businesses aren't killed off by government regulation. It's far more effective to tax McDonalds, as well as every other profitable company, in order to fund the safety net that every citizen deserves.
