Show HN: Remotework.com – not JUST another remote jobs site
Hello Hacker News! This is James from RemoteWork.com (https://remotework.com/)

I am building a marketplace for the remote worker community, and to connect remote jobs to remote workers. I hope for this not to become just another jobs board. I am much more interested in helping remote workers solve for loneliness and build community, shift skilled work away from the coastal cities and other "soft" benefits of remote work.

Like many other readers here on Hacker News I am following the Shelter-in-Place order in the bay area due to COVID-19. I have been sitting on RemoteWork.com as a concept since before 2017. I was originally inspired by Greg Caplan and his Remote Year (RemoteYear.com) project, I looked up LeapYear.com and stumbled upon Venture.com, they happened to have RemoteWork.com available & I have always had it on my shortlist of domains to use for a future concept. Then around NYE of 2020, as everyone was making predictions about what the next decade held, a consistent theme was that a shift towards remote work would become one of the big shifts of the 2020s. Who could have guessed it would happen so fast? I secured a lease with Venture.com shortly after Jan 1st. I setup a no-code MVP using Sharetribe Go.

I have been working remotely or part of a remote team for the past 5 years & am familiar with the challenges it presents to the individual and to the organization. Personally, I really wanted to solve for the community and educational side of people beginning to work remotely. Working remotely may not be for everyone, but I think it could be a benefit for most people who are able to perform their jobs without being in an office, if given the right tools and guidelines outlining best practices.

This is just the beginning. I hope we can start a movement that benefits both workers and employers. A movement that can reduce traffic congestion and improve overall job satisfaction thru work/life balance.

Join us. Join the movement. Join RemoteWork.com
The problem I have whenever I see arguments along these lines is that nothing is stopping anyone from writing simple HTML using that "subset" if they want to, so a completely separate simpler HTML isn't necessary. If you don't want JS, don't use JS. If you want to vet packages, start a service that vets Node packages. That last part would actually probably be really useful.
Where do you recommend buying them?
Spoken like someone who has no idea what they are talking about. I exclusively have government loans and a loan provider. The government outsources that part of it. They just pay the interest on the undergraduate ones while you're in school.
I rly love 0.9 version.
The only thing that annoys me is resizing. When you open a tab and then you increase the window size, the actual terminal size is not increases with it. At least on my computer :-)

So I always need to first make the terminal fullscreen and then open tabs.

Anyone having this as well?
This just shows how ineffective circuit breaker are.
I'm a co-founder and the VP of Engineering at ProcedureFlow. If anyone is a full stack .NET developer and lives in Eastern Canada (remote), I'm currently hiring: https://jobs.procedureflow.com/o/full-stack-developer

ProcedureFlow is like GitHub but for your company's procedures. We are hyperlinked flowcharts with pull request style approvals.

I've heard some really unfortunate stories from family, friends, and colleagues who are being laid off or temporarily laid off. Since ProcedureFlow is B2B and is part of our customers' backbone, we're fortunate in this situation. I hope all of you that are affected by this are able to get through this!
62% of Americans Believe Media Has Exaggerated Covid-19 Risk, New Poll Shows
The German expert who worked on site in the German epicenter has explained that phenomenon that they went aggressively after all contacts, very early on. Italy and Spain did not.

German seniors also don't live at home with their families, and it hadn't hit their homes yet. Once it does and it's pretty close, the rates will jump up. The health system itself is not better than in Italy or Spain.

I think it's also geography. All the major epicenters are on the same latitude. Germany is more northern. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/45th_parallel_north

We should ban both factory farming and wet markets. If people want to ban the latter and not the former, they’re either ignorant of the massive problems with factory farming or have a super dubious double standard.
Bleach? I would hope not. This is spraying your anus, which you should avoid using soaps (or holy shit, bleach?) and only use water or specific soaps. Same with your penis, which I hope you're not washing with regular soap (or bleach)
Whether this is true or not, there's much better ways to phrase this.

> Your online presence is dreadfully low for a web developer.

Just dropping "Sorry to say" makes it sound less condescending.

> Your online presence is really low for a web developer.

Dreadfully -> really. Could argue that this changes the meaning somewhat, but I think the change is more in tone (again, less pretentious/condescending sounding) than in actual meaning.

> Your online presence is really low for a web developer, you should consider expanding it to increase your exposure/get more interviews

Explicitly making a suggestion is more constructive and makes the tone more friendly.
I believe ESF is for supporting and stabilizing overseas (non-U.S.) democracies & strategic interests.

Speaking of US homeland economic support, one could argue that the combined effort shown by the bill, and all of the allocated budget money, is going toward support of the US economy in some way.
Yep. Events industry; entire company basically shut down.

One of my best friends was a long-term undergrad assistant on this project. It was always an eyebrow-raiser (and conversation starter!) when she declared that her research was developing "mouse VR."

Very cool to see it spotlighted on the MIT news site.
Our points are NOT mutually exclusive. The system is flawed, and always buckles under the pressure of a disaster. Yes, the flaws made it weaker and it is therefore buckling hard. But it's pretty clear that people are scared, and the market reflects that. If you're in doubt, take a quick look at the VIX and other volatility indicators.

EDIT: "Our points are NOT mutually exclusive" changed to add "NOT"
I don't think FF is awesome (it's the least worst practical choice) and it sucks that advertising is enabled by default, but your comment is not fair to FF.

Pocket can be disabled with about:config => pocket.enabled set to false (non-obvious but easy).

FF accounts & sync do nothing if you don't use them. The data is e2e encrypted. It is extremely useful for a huge number of people while doing nothing bad to those who don't use it. FF would be a worse browser without it.

Extension & feature recommendations are done on browser with no personal data sent to Mozilla. You can search the web for details, iirc it was also mentioned on HN.
that's F#s problem. C# is a good language, and while F# has some great things ( discriminated unions, computational expressions, pipline) that make for better ways to create software..... they aren't so much better that it justifies the learning curve to get good at F# compared to just writing things in C# ( unless of course you are a F# programmer and then you can't live without all your toys... ). Also, good luck hiring F# devs. My own experience at my company, I did a bunch of things in F#, but upskilling people just proved too much of a side track that I ended up rewriting all the F# in C#, and it was actually amazingly quick to rewrite in C# ( I didn't like the C# as much, but it's fine).
> The user/programmer divide is a symptom of yet another sharply increasing “inequality”. We need to think about it in fundamental terms, and can’t solve the problem just by making “coding” appear cool. It’s not enough to have references and guides, because all those only make sense once you’ve crossed a knowledge barrier. They contribute to a shitty on-boarding experience. Focusing specifically on teaching programming is missing the point, IMHO. No amount of teaching (artificially structured) can ever be as good as a platform that enables people to gradually learn and adapt at their own pace. The human mind is enormously capable of learning with experience.

Right now we don't have the right environments for regular people. The operating systems they use are locked in and the main parts of the system they manipulate give users no hint at all about how to easily change things "computationally". For example, a user cannot easily create a button that does something (either by example or by a comprehensible scripting language), and then leave that button on their desktop. That's pretty absurd given how much normal interaction for them comes in the form of buttons. And that's just one example.
The UK plan is insane and could result in massive deaths. But hopefully will just be rolled once the deaths begin.

You can read the discussion of the reasons to be pretty certain of the 1%+ fatality rate and how that's catastrophic on the rest of my thread and in more detail elsewhere. As to the UK plan, look here:

You wouldn't wash your hands with just toilet paper either.
The increasing complexity of web browsers has less to do with companies using browsers to shoulder competition out (after all, why would they bother to make their engines open source?) and more to do with the web becoming the default application platform. And this has its roots in companies... trying to shouldering out competition with native UI frameworks. Microsoft just two days ago introduced WinUI, another propitiatory UI that's tied into their ecosystem. Bringing Microsoft's total non standard UI frameworks to seven (or is it eight?). Developers want cross compatibility, so they naturally turn to the web. Usually in the form of election or native web. And if they do choose to go native, iOS and Android on the top of the list now days.

So developers expect native OS level API access from browsers. This is the true source of the bloat. And to be honest, we're converging on an open standard cross platform API. this is great.
I think you may be underestimating the extent to which a “small business owner loses a year of income” and “entire small business capsizes” are the same thing.
How future proof is it? Even if it's quad core, it's still 1.1GHz I mean, will a browser need multiple cores to scroll smoothly through pages in 2-3 years from now?
I left my job, bootstrapped my startup (an AR Product). The product was tested, refined & ready by the end of February. The core of the product expects people to move & has significant location-based functionalities. I can't release it in the near future.
Compensating people for forcing the closure of the businesses or not allowing them to work is not socialism.
Not to mention that all the leafy green recalls, such as E. Coli in the lettuce this January [1] and salmonella in the spinach last September [2]. This happens every few months, and has for as long as I can remember.

E. Coli comes from faecal contamination so someone's been pooping in America's leafy greens for years. Not sure there's a whole lot of moral high-ground there.

Sad to say it, but I've caught all of the major mainstream news sites putting whoppers out there these days. If it matters, you really have to go to the source material to verify what happened. Fortunately, at least for now, this is often available.
Ultimately the question is, "how much of the total cpu/memory is used just running kubernetes?" I know prior to rpi4, clusters like this were basically demo/education/bragging rights projects.
Not a hiring manager, but I will be hiring more cs people for my team soon. We wanted to hire people anyway, but this virus will probably expand the candidate pool since most of the gorillas will have trouble hiring now. Adtech is about to face a harsh reality check.

It's not the same. Live ocean creatures are isolated from each other. They're stored in water-tight containers by necessity. By contrast, live land animals are stored in cages and often stacked on top of each other.

Vox has a video explaining "Why new diseases keep appearing in China" [1]. They include footage of Chinese wet markets around the 2:00 mark. I think they make an excellent case for strictly regulating, or even outright banning wet markets.

Long ago, Europe had the same problem. The cities were full of wet markets, and were basically the perfect conditions for creating new plagues. There's a nice CGP Grey video on this, "Americapox: The Missing Plague" [2].

Not terribly interested in this thread, but for the record %0 interest loans when they're big (billions of dollars) are effectively the same as handing out free money. A bank would need to be ridiculously incompetent not to turn those loans into significant profits (and hey, give out executive bonuses too!).

Even just a few seconds running normal pressure bidet is extremely effective. Let it run for 10 seconds, use hot water, use a rotating sprayer (or just wiggle around a bit) and there is absolutely nothing left. Don't forget your skin doesn't want poo on it and gravity is also actively working against anything sticking.
Bingo. I've been full-time remote for a few years. I have little kids who are in the house a lot, and I've adjusted to the disruptions that can entail. But the stress and anxiety of the current situation are more difficult to adjust to. Hard to shake anxiety over something like this if you're prone to it.
Bidets are for rich people.

The majority use something like tabo: https://youtu.be/Vzb98tQp53I
I have. It was the best thing that could have happened. I've got 2 months to sit at home while being paid. The 2 months are soon over and I'm flooded with freelance work. So now I work 40-50% less for roughly the same amount of money. I should have done this earlier.
I would suggest renaming 'anxiety credits' to something else, reminding people they have anxiety won't help getting rid of it.
Isn’t platinum better for all the practical (= other than jewellery) use-cases people use gold for? Why don’t people talk about speculating on platinum?

just so >20 goroutines could use the same ~1mb of cached data.
i don't believe I advocated banning anything within these post comments.

but if you want to accuse me of that, you do you.

since we're on the topic, a sea food restaurant proably wouldn't classify as a wet market, since the only live animals there are fish.
New iPhones always ship in September with an incremented A series chip. The single exception was the A5, which shipped with the iPad 2 six months before the iPhone 4S.

Apart from the iPad 2, new top-of-the-line iPads have almost always shipped with the existing highest-numbered A series chip in an X variant. The single exception was the first iPad Air, which shipped with a regular A7.

So this is indeed the first time that a new high-end iPad has shipped with a lower-numbered CPU than the most recent iPhone.
The article raising interesting points but there is still not enough information to make an evaluation. I'm more interested in some kind of quantification of how many years of life corona virus is taking from its victims. You could imagine a hypothetical grim reaper virus that kills you a day before you would otherwise die. This virus kills absolutely everybody in the country but it is probably not worth fighting unless it is super cheap to do so.
If they offered you a good counter offer, ask them if there is a similar offer still on the table. Their IT challenges are probably only just ramping up and they will need you as people shift remote.

I'm also in NZ. SO happy that our GOVT takes this so seriously.

Of course it’s not. But it’s what the likes of Trump would have called it just two weeks ago.

H5N1, SARS and COVID-19 have been traced back to asian wet markets.

Just BAN everything that could ever allow this. The thought that we knew it could happen AND that it already happened blows my mind.
On the UI, of course. Do you mean to say that I can use some js libraries and do the highlighting on the client-side?

You can define the macro as `return` -- it won't cause infinite recursion in the C pre-processor, but you do have to either use the `Deferral` macro in every function, or `#undef return` to do a plain return.

Try it. I just did, and it works.

It might not be a bad idea. But if it did work, I think it would work best integrated into the conveyor systems rather than the end points. Although that would make those systems more fragile, there would be a lot more time to expose packages to whatever process was necessary (and dry them) than there would be at endpoints.
Unless you're spoofing your User-Agent string, servers still know what browser you're using. You don't need to be running client-side analytics scripts for browser market measurements.
Just signed a lease for a larger apt with twice the rent. Got laid off within the hour. The new landlord is not wanting to let me out of the lease. They already accepted the deposit and first months rent. Really bad timing.
As I mentioned in another comment, it seems almost identical to Boost.ScopeExit, [0] but with the special restriction that it causes statements to run at the point a function returns. From the article: it does not care about lexical scopes.

edit Looking at the implementation, it seems to use setjmp/longjmp on some platforms. Nasty. I believe Boost.ScopeExit does some macro trickery to leverage C++'s RAII, which isn't so bad.

Just point out MERS originated in the middle east. And then there is also Australia’s 1994 Hendra virus outbreak where corona viruses made the jump from flying foxes to horses. People working with the infected horses fell ill and two died.

So it's not just China here. People can dream of punishing China all they want but the basic problem isn't going away.
Which also offer higher standards because it's citizens demand it and can get it from other sources. Unfortunately the Chinese citizens cannot because they have no economic leverage.

Chloroquine Is a Zinc Ionophore (2014)
First of all, we're clearly going to bail them out, but my argument IS about whether we should. I'm an "all possible options" kind of guy. That is, no matter how extreme, I want to discuss and rule out as many options as I can on my way to making a decision. It's how I frame things in my brain when I'm deciding.

Secondly, I strongly agree with the main point you're making - that "we the people" should get equity in exchange for the bail out. When these companies bounce back in a few years we should all get a special refund the year we sell the equity back to industry. However, unless we're buying some HUGE stake, I don't think we should exercise the option of taking over the management of these businesses.
Is there data to back that up?
Two companies that I was in the process interviewing, cancelled the interviews this week. I am thankfully employed but I was thinking of leaving the company I work for. Having said that there are other companies still willing to hire.
Oh, I hated it, could not wait to get rid of the need to get those begging grifters off my back...
If equities, bonds, and commodities all drop, where is the money going? Certainly not as unsecured deposits at banks. The money has to cycle somewhere and I don’t see any asset classes jumping by enough to account for all the sales of the remaining asset classes.
I will definitely get this new iPad Pro (have been waiting for this configuration) but this doesn't contradict your point as, for example, I don't intend to plug much of anything into it. Perhaps an HDMI adaptor or ethernet dongle, both of which I already have for my MB.

By the sounds of the usual complaints my use case is quite uncommon (really I need a fast, multithreaded easy-for-demos device for a specific code base the engine of which runs on Linux/MacOS/iOS). It seems Apple is selling a boatload of iPads so they seem to think that few people want to plug things in. That seems absurd when I talk to my friends, but, well, I'm sure the usage data they get from people (like me) who enable that is telling them otherwise.

As for the Surface: I've seen a couple and the hardware looks quite nice but in terms of weight and usability the MBA has been just fine. I often find myself using my current iPad to do something and then put it down and switch to the laptop. The use cases seem disjoint, partially due to the inherent limitations of each platform vs the other in certain regards, so over the years I've given up on thinking that a unified device would be worth it.

I notice people have commented that some of your objections to the iPad have subsequently been rectified, but the core issues IMHO still remain. Another way to put it is that you now can do many laptop-like things on the iPad but it would hardly be your first choice, especially when it's so easy to switch to another device more adapted to things like filesystem manipulation. But if it's the only device you happen to have on your person you aren't stuck. Maybe Surface can find a way over that hump.
This can be a sign of a health problem. Seriously, you should mention it to your doctor.
