Ask HN: Laptop Recommendation
Hi, so I am coming off a 2 year sabbatical from my technology obsession among other things and now I want to get back, 'refocused' and all. lol. I want to get a laptop to use. I want a laptop that delivers performance for some tasks I will be doing:

1) Software development
2) Local data analysis for my day trading strategy backtesting
3) Video editing and rendering (For my Youtube channel)

*Also importantly, I want to have some kind of hybrid setup where my stuff runs on AWS but a lot of the development and testing done on the local machine. So maybe it should be seamless with Linux ( not necessarily running Linux primarily) or alternatively VMs.

So I am looking for a really good laptop for this. Or perhaps a specific configuration to go for. I have some money for quality, but nothing too extreme or overkill.

Bonus points for a good monitor, a keypad and an ergonomic home office chair and headphones.

my first guess wasnt creep, but i do get some offbeat social cues from the text. my two choices are autism spectrum or sociopathic tendencies. the technicals sound good enough, so personality/culture fit problems seem more likely. im not sure how one would go about getting "cooler", but i would take some personality tests to see if youve got some uncommon traits. once you know what youre working with, you may have a path ahead.

dont give up, friend. theres is a place for you in this world.
This is my experience, either the recruiter will want to pay you directly, thus the company can avoid its own HR red-tape, or their deal with the recruiter is deliberately hidden from you, but you still join FTE. Of course, there's a million different ways to do this, but an organization like Triplebyte is upfront about taking 30% of your salary for two years.

First off, your HN submission history is really weird, dude. (https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=snakedoctor)

If you get a job in customer support at Amazon there is literally no way to get a 'promotion' to a dev role. It's different parts of the org, and you're tarnished with being a CS person. Why? Because it's signaling - people who can do eng roles at Amazon don't take CS roles so they don't bother mining to check on the rare chance someone in CS can.

In your replies you say "I haven't lasted anywhere longer than 2 months. I contribute a lot and then quit after I feel like I'm not getting appropriate compensation."

If your resume reflects that you've bounced around after a few months as a hiring manager I'm not even going to bother offering you an interview.

You also said your were home schooled and many people here have commented you might have social skill issues. I am not a doctor but I wonder if you have delusions of grandeur around your abilities which is creating a miss-match of expectation leading you to quit jobs you need to tough it out in. Or you have dyslexia or another learning difficulty (I have dyslexia, I quit school, never went to university, did many shit jobs to work my way up, it took years and years)

I would suggest you find someone who is an actual hiring manager to give you a mock interview and analyze their feedback. If you can't find someone closer in your circle, I'll give you mock 30 minute interview (I've hired countless engineers, designers, PMs and other roles in the last 20+ years)

If you want a career in tech you do need to get out of the wrong swim-lane, which a CS role at Amazon is the wrong lane as it will never convert to where you want it to go.

Mad Magazine had an enormous influence on me. I especially remember their parodies of advertising where some clever wordsmithing turned awful reviews into glowing endorsements (such things like "I think it's best we buried this in the desert and never spoke of it again!" being shortened to "I think it's best...!"). They were the first time it occurred to my young mind that grownups could tell a lie without quite telling a lie, and it stuck with me forever.

Everyone involved with Mad, thank you. You permanently changed the way I look at the world, in ways that've made my life a lot better.
Not Java. JVM. Many often confuse them. People dislike Java (not without merits), and because of that, they'd naturally dismiss JVM as a viable technological choice.
JVM, as a matter of fact, is a pretty cool piece of technology. Learning the fundamentals of JVM and its internals is a good career investment without a doubt. And you don't really need to be a Java expert to build things to run on JVM.
I don't think it is possible for humans to be optimal vs, say, slime. Slime, presumably, does not have incentive structure that individual humans collude in at their benefit to the detriment of others. For example, why did the US build roads at the expense of rail?

The cost of recycling (soup to nuts, collection, cleaning, sorting) should be built into the costs of using this stuff.

Plastic is only used in a really wasteful/damaging way because the costs are externalized, making it the cheapest option.

If manufacturers had to pay the real cost, they would quickly start packaging their products in alternative manners because they are cost effective.

Cleanup should probably also be included
another example is Apple. Their workers are paid well, but iPhones are assembled by Foxconn and if you ever bought iPhone/Mac, there is a chance that worker who assembled your iPhone has killed himself[1] due to low wages, stress, and exploitative labor conditions. Simply because Apple needs to maintain high margins and squeezes margins out of suppliers trying to maximize profits. That's why I dont buy apple products.

Show HN: OpenStandup – A simple, virtual standup app for Android
> take a break

I write code now however I was a private yacht chef in a past career. I can make food that makes people high -- its a drug. When I started with yacht charters with 8 - 12 guests for a week or 10 days cruising the Exumas or BVIs and the guests were rude to me I responded by cooking the best food they ever tasted day in and day out knowing that they wouldn't be able to stop eating. If you are an asshole, you will eat the best tasting food on Earth. "Diplomacy is telling someone to go to hell and make them look forward to the trip."

On the flip side, I started working on private, not charter, yachts for a couple different families whom a decade later I still speak with. They, however, didn't eat as well. The dishes were a lot more wholesome and plain. The whole reason I started coding was because I was in the middle of the ocean bobbing around spending only 3 hours a day working, cooking for guests and crew and started hacking on my laptop on the galley table looking for something to do to stave off bordom which we all know causes mutiny on ships. Nobody can eat restaurant style food breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It causes people to be fat, heart disease, and diabetes. Of course, for special occasions, anniversaries, birthdays, or the owners want me to show off for a night to their guests I would use the skills I developed working years in in 2 and 3 star Michelin restaurants, however, the rest of the time, we would all * take a break * from eating fancy food. Sometimes I'd kick of the owners off the boat sending them to a restaurant for the night but they preferred my simple dishes where ever we went. It is appreciated.

When I started with charters at the beginning working on yachts I was instructed to provide multi course restaurant food. On my first charter a guest said they love the food however seeing the fish sandwich I prepared for the crew asked if they could just eat the same things they saw me serving the crew. It is a hard pill for a chef to swallow that people don't want fancy stuff all the time. What is my purpose? To pass the butter? That moment forth I cooked the same things for guests and crew accept for when people are assholes. A lot of chefs are insecure if they aren't doing restaurant style food. I'm lucky that I have already proven myself so I don't have to anymore. It became the dumbest easiest job ever with the hardest part having to catch dinner first.

But, yeah, I get how it is healthy to take a break.
> For instance, if they ask you why you left Amazon, you'd better not be saying "I found an important problem and I didn't get recognition for it." Tell them you had a personal emergency or something.

Can I push on that a little? Lying is a Bad Move. There are, however, ways to finesse the conversation if it comes to that.

But there's literally no reason you can't just come out and say, "I wasn't getting benefits, and I need benefits." Honesty works there. It's fine to say, "I'm looking for a career with a brighter future than warehouse work, and I think I have the skills to work here because {insert experience}."

I'm not a frequently flyer on either side of the interviewing table, so I don't know for sure how this sort of advice sounds, but when I interview I expect honesty. If the process isn't candid, neither party is happy and there's a lot of wasted time and money on both sides.
In online, 'multiplayer' environments, there is always something going on and if you're not there every single waking moment, you'll miss out. You can fiddle with all of the design elements all you want, but if the underlying interactions are built on FOMO, there's not much you can do about it.

I had this realization as a senior in college, and it's the reason I never went into game design. I knew too many dropouts for whom gaming was part of the equation.
I did that too, but I used an escrow service. Sure it just kicks the trust down a step, but it's ostensibly not either interested party.

Do you have a specific article with a first hand source saying she was against stimulus? Because her continued and unwavering support for the HEROES act suggest she was always pro-stimulus.

Your writing is not strong, i can tell you did not attend college. Written communication is important in tech.

Your applying to those companies with 0 experience or college degree is unrealistic. The entry level is extremely competitive and you have nothing to make you interesting to hire. They get thousands of applications for those jobs.

You are still young, plenty of time to learn, but I recommend taking a step back and rethink your strategy. There are plenty of companies that do not get thousands of applications for jobs.

Let me put it bluntly: you are not qualified to be a software engineer. There is no reason anyone would currently hire you, unless you are personable and fun to talk to.

You show immaturity in the way you handled the flaw in the system you described. Calling your boss's boss because you think you are right is childish.

Additionally, you do not understand how to get a software job, you do not have realistic expectations for what kind of jobs you are qualified to acquire.

A few years ago my brother, who is in his thirties, was stuck in a dead end job he hated. So he took some classes in 3D modeling. He worked hard, built out his portfolio, networked, and eventually landed a job at a world famous video game studio making AAA games at an interesting role that builds his skills.

What he did not do was blindly apply to jobs he was not qualified to do with zero training
I'm seeing a therapist. I had an abusive childhood. Not that it justifies anything. I was also homeschooled since the 6th grade, so I didn't really have any IRL friends etc. I hope that I'm not a sociopath... I might be on the high functioning autisim scale. I've never been tested so I don't know.
Unless Big Tire has hidden it from us, I don't believe we've created a timeless uberwheel. Until that day, we must continue to invent wheels fit for their limited purposes with the materials and technologies available to us.

Put differently, there's a big difference between being able to make one of something once and establishing supply chains for scalable industrialized production and distribution resilient against economic and availability changes. If we didn't have more than one way to make wheels from scratch, one day we might wake up to find we no longer have a way to make them at all.
Is FLOC going to be integrated into Chromium or is it just going to be a Chrome feature?
I’ve also been running custom domain on Fastmail.

Between those two, proper IMAP support (including IMAP push) is the big thing. Webmail generally drives me nuts for anything beyond stopgap usage, and while ProtonMail has a local IMAP adapter thing it’s a step too involved for me.

IMAP support is incidentally also why I don’t use Gmail. Their IMAP implementation is spotty and notoriously bad with Apple Mail, whereas the experience with FastMail is flawless.
A lot of laptops have software-controlled cooling and power management, but also a hardware override. If you lose the software control the processor won't downclock when idle and will instead stay at full speed, causing it to heat up and the fans to also run faster. Given that a lot of laptops have barely adequate cooling in the first place, it's not surprising that it'll be stuck throttling at the maximum regulated temperature with the fans at full speed.

A few years (more like a decade now) ago, there were some laptops (not Apple) infamous for overheating to the point of shutting down if you left them in the BIOS setup for too long, or used Linux.

What a weird objection. It’s our science that tells us we need to radically reform how we consume resources. I’m not worried we’re going to waste all our resources in scientific endeavors, I’m concerned that we’re destroying the environment on which we depend for frivolous short term gains.

I could not tolerate the game at walking speed. I downloaded a "full stamina" mod so I could at least run everywhere. Faster movement was one of the main rewards in the game for me, from flying shrines to Jump items to teleportation.
Real estate prices in the Bay Area are also driven by the boatloads of money coming into the area and then not going back out. Our local money supply has gone way up. After all, when local worker salaries go so far up, why wouldn’t the price of goods they’re bidding for go up too?
A quick google search suggests that the feature has been around since at least iOS 11 (and I'm confident much earlier, but that was the version I got results for on the first page of my google search, I'm not digging deeper), but you need location services turned on. Check that, then disable again if you don't want location services on by default.
You're trying to do something DNS wasn't built for, so, there is no good solution for what you want ("only serve .internal and nothing else"). As I see it, you have 3 options:

1. Use ".internal.someotherdomain.io" and the regular old public DNS. (this probably only does half of what you want)

2. Use dnsmasq at the edge of each .internal subnet, and maybe require the customer to configure your DNS in their container. (I believe this is what AWS does?)

3. Intercept tcp/udp port 53 at the subnet edge, spoof your own responses for .internal, pass through anything else to wherever it's going. Dealing with tcp could be tricky, udp is easy. Probably this will break some clients, and generally be the hardest thing to implement.

I think the best option is #2, as it will actually work reliably and with the least difficulty for everyone.
You are getting some mixed advice here. Talk to your doctor and explain your problem. You are seeking medical advice on Hacker News, which is probably only a half step removed from seeking medical advice on Reddit or Facebook. Your physician can monitor you and follow the latest research. They can give you much better advice. And if they do prescribe you a drug and it doesn’t work, then you can stop or modify the regimen with the consultation of your physician.
Odd that you would carefully choose median household income instead of just simply wage growth.

Median household income increased because there are more dual income families.

If you're honest and look at pure wage growth it's stagnated for decades.

For some part of the population, me included, taking the action of reloading feels better than being pushed from one piece of content to another - it helps me tell myself I'm in control, unlike with, say, video sites that automatically queue up the next video.

A killer anti-design feature for a place like Hacker News would be to limit how many links and comments get posted every hour or day. Which would have me reloading less often, which would - accomplish the goal of me spending less time here, I guess?

But seriously, the thing most likely to keep me from infinite scrolling or reloading is to have a roommate or live-in significant other.
