I've been a SWE, SWE manager, TL at FAANGs for a number of years (>13). I've been in the industry for > 20 years. I've run the gamut on work from compilers to mobile to ML to signal processing to embedded RTOS development.

I'm looking to move to a lower stress lifestyle, ideally remote part-time Golang work. I am happy to consider other roles, but want a smart team looking to offload some crunchy work. I work fine independently and remotely.

Side note: I've had a recipe that calls for pine nuts for a while, and have had to use walnuts because no grocery store within 30 miles carries them.
I agree that money is a factor, but not the only factor, in deciding whether a job is right. I currently have only mortgage debt and I am making substantially more money than I really need to pay bills. I thought making a lot of money would be the solution to all my problems but now my problem is that I feel unfulfilled because I'm not using the technologies I want to use in my role and no amount of money will solve that problem. Another issue is coworkers; you cannot pay me enough to work with some people. And lastly, time is priceless so I always take any flexibility time-wise into consideration.
> Can't a lawyer wishing to have these professors testify as expert witnesses merely motion for them to be subpoenaed?

That depends on the law of the jurisdiction in question; in the US federal system, for instance this is theoretically possible but its kind of a hail mary, rather than a slam dunk; getting an order for s non-retained expert is far from automatic, even when their testimony would be relevant:

Holly Wu (she/her)

I've been doing one form or another of full-stack webdev for a little over a decade now (3 years in industry, 7+ as a hobby). Looking for positive-impact roles and unique challenges requiring unconventional solutions. I still love to code in my spare time, my latest major project being the compiler to a programming language of my own design: https://gitlab.com/dejawu/kythera
Most outdoors activities are safer and more pleasant when there is some sunlight (think: walking through a forest, hiking, swimming in a lake, sports, having a picnic, etc).
> Long-form written works tend to have more room for breadth, depth and nuance. I find that's where much of the value sometimes comes from, e.g., I didn't get anything much out of the main text of the last non-fiction book I read, but three of the footnotes introduced me to other sources that did turn out to be useful for my work.

All of this is why I strongly favor reading. Well written books are just so worth sinking the time into, and then you have references/bibliographies. Yeah, you need to do something instead of "reading all the time" (stramwan from the article), but sometimes doing it correctly, or even just better, starts with a good book.
There's the notion of getting rid of multiple timezones altogether.
> If you're not an expert on British law what makes you feel able to make such a confident and surprising claim?

The hubris of an internet commenter?

Also, it's not surprising. It's unusual for a common law country. But in most jurisdictions, particularly those on statutory law, if the buyer is unrelated to the fraudster and is in possession, the register cannot be altered [1].

This comes, in most places, out of the land registry being a reaction to protracted property disputes. (Often violent.)

> Rust is not quite as complex as C++

Yet. C++ wasn't as complex as C++ back when it was Rust's age. It wasn't even as complex as Rust. But if you pick a language for the next 20-30 years, you don't just care about where it is now, but also about where it is headed.
I use a quest 2, with prescription inserts from Reloptix. Add the Input font (input . djr . com) for my system and application fonts (for apps that support it, like IDEs). And it's good enough for me at this point.
Yes, and they should be in well annotated/marked string/data sections, not in logic code.

Reading is excellent cognitive training. Especially reading fiction. It makes you step outside your ordinary reality and truly live in someone else's shoes. You get cognitive benefit as well as spiritual benefit from reading great fiction.

Non fiction is also OK but generally less appropriate for reading cover to cover. Non fiction is great for just getting what you need and getting out. The way you learn physics, for example, is not by reading physics books, it's by solving problems. By experiencing the real thing.

Reading fiction has self contained benefit. Reading non fiction is only useful to the extent to which you can apply this information in your daily life.

Hey! My name is Andrey, I'm full-stack dev with more than 10 years of remote work experience (20 overall) and specialize primarily in web app development (React + Node) and native apps for iOS and macOS. Ideally I'm looking for a full-time job or 3+ mo project.

Previously I've worked on wide variety of projects such as multi-tiered web apps with SSO, Shopify / WooCommerce plugins for delivery services, Linux device drivers, video streaming apps, mobile banking apps and so on.

I'm always open to learn something new, particularly interested in Rust and Go.
It does baffle me that Apple, who will benefit from this, couldn't spare the development funds themselves, considering they are worth more than God himself.

Apple has allegedly spent billions on the development of a car, yet could not spend what was probably $100K of consultancy to fix this issue.
As a parent of young children I just want to go back to the time we don't change time at random. Also the older I get it takes longer to get use to the change.

I suspect this means to function as a (voluntary) expert witness, not as someone formally required to testify.

Many states (by now) have already passed legislation to the effect that if/when the federal government allows it, they will simply stay on DST year-around.

There are a number of bills on a federal level that would allow states to do this, but each of these bills have seemingly been lost in the torpid world of inaction.
MacOS still uses the garbage VNC protocol instead of what Windows did, which was treat remote display as a first-class product; indeed RDP is one of Windows greatest features that is unheralded/underappreciated.
Wikipedia suggests it's been there since 86. There is a whole lot of code written before 86 and I'm suspecting a whole lot of it doesn't get regularly refactored. I can tell you from experience that there's financial code with some dicey hard coding. I haven't seen it in a long time so hopefully some happy Cobol programmer jumped and used the money to retire early.
I agree, and to be clear, that's precisely my point--your claim that "Docker Hub makes it easy to download unvetted [executables]" is a property it shares with all unvetted executable repositories--nothing to do with containers in particular. :)
> "[their] children will have to go to school in the dark" during the winter.

Then we move school start times to what's biologically optimal for kids instead of what optimizes budgets.
I would suggest solving competitive programming problems. Many might not be interested in joining coding competitions (I am not), but solving problems where you directly apply the stuff that you learned in textbooks is exciting.
The self order kiosks are craptastic. I hate them. The mobile app is somewhat decent.

Honestly, what they need is a voice AI to take your order in the mobile app.
How to Improve at Chess
Squatting without a spotter can be perfectly safe if you use a squat rack with safety rails and/or a set of bumper plates. Do you have any experience lifting? It's not a good idea to try to just figure it out on your own!

There are some competent personal trainers who do video-based sessions. Start light, and focus on the form.

A lot of lifts are inherently "safe" if you do them correctly (back squats, deadlifts, olympic lifts). If you want to bench press without a spotter, you need safety rails.
Would education unfortunately qualify as one of the much hated organizations?

Six year olds, dude.
I started strength / resistance training about four months ago, and I've lost at least 15 pounds and have gained considerable strength from working out 4x a week - this is without substantially cutting my calorie intake either. I really cannot describe how good I feel. Additional strength, better posture, less frequent back and shoulder pains (which, the few times they've come up, have resolved within a day - rarely the case before I started working out), better diet, awareness of calorie and macronutrient consumption and sense of accomplishment are all factors that I feel good about.

I'll give a plug for Mind Pump [1] and MAPS Fitness Products programs [2]. No affiliation aside from being a customer. I just finished the MAPS Starter program (a three month program). With one of their 60% discounts it set me back less than $40. I bought a pair of adjustable dumbbells and a $30 fitness ball and was able to do everything in the program. I did get a bench, too, but it wasn't strictly necessary (though I preferred the stability of the bench for certain exercises).

Tao of Stefan [4] has some pretty thorough reviews of MAPS products.

As for their programs, you can get on their mailing list and wait for one of their (usually) monthly 50% discounts. Or you can get Sal DiStefano's book [3] and use some of the programs in there. There's one program that can be done entirely with resistance bands - at home or on the go.

Or you can just watch all their free content on YouTube and figure it out from there!

Pretty standard setup. I use a Quest 2 and the Input font (input . djr . com). I do most of my work related stuff in Immersed or Workrooms.

I also do daily workouts and meditation every morning before I start work, all in VR.

I haven't had any motion sickness yet.

The only difficulty I have run into is my bad eyesight. I have found the prescription lenses inserts from Reloptix to be the best, for me at least.
This creates a coordination problem. For example, your workplace adopts summer hours and now you have to get to work an hour earlier, but you kids' daycare hasn't. Or, the bakery wants to deliver pastries to the cafe an hour earlier, but the cafe workers haven't shown up yet.

DST perfectly solves this problem -- everyone switches on the same day. This makes life easier for the entire population, and causes slight headaches for computer programmers.
I socialize in bars and while playing sports. Neither of those options are expensive.
Looked at through a less "assume malice" lens: this line of internal questioning is how you get to a safer product for a wide userbase.

The issue that Facebook is trying to solve is that kids already use the platform. They'd rather proactively have a configuration that is appropriate for that age group than offer none and have to deal with the consequences of the underage getting on adult Facebook and hitting content they aren't supposed to be exposed to (and, more corporate-selfishly: running the risk of being hauled in front of a Congressional committee or into court under the argument that they aren't complying with the spirit of COPPA if "kids just lie about their age" is a known issue on their platform that they haven't done anything proactive to address).

The original memo Ars is pulling from here is a pretty good read (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21095535-copy-of-you...). The header is "The internet wasn't built with young people in mind, but we're about to change that." And, yeah... They've identified a real problem and a possible value-add for families.
SeedFi builds financial products for the 100M Americans who live paycheck to paycheck. Our customers are the most vulnerable members of society and our products tangibly improve their financial health. We're backed by A16Z and our founders have decades of experience in the lending industry.

That’s genius. The Circle (with Emma Watson and Karen Gillan) started out really promising but ended up drifting in silliness towards the end. Also I seem to recall the movie having a really wooden quality despite the emotional content and having competent actors.
The right-to-repair movement is coming from farmers who are unable to do better than call someone, in 2021, because their large farm equipment (tractors, etc) are locked down more thoroughly than an iPhone, with large support contract requirements on top of that. Not that it changes your point, but the inability to fix things will certainly change how the US market behaves.
The biggest benefit for me from weightlifting is that it seems to really help with anxiety. Not sure why.
Yeah, 15 seconds of the slightest search efforts can bring any of this up.

I've found time and time again that anybody who believes there is or ever has been even the slightest issue with "dead voters" is somebody who simply can't be reasoned with, and engagement just isn't worth the effort.

> I would expect that regardless of language everyone can understand the concepts of sarcasm and irony

And I feel it's fair for someone like you on HN to accept fair criticism of their comments.

> English is a third language for me

I would expect you'd still understand the point being made and understand it's not about you, but about many others, and just because you understand sarcasm or irony, others might not who aren't as well skilled in English.

> There's literally zero context to suggest that I might be serious in accusing another poster of being a pedophile

Except for the fact that it's a serious accusation that one does not make lightly, and so it's fair to assume no one would simply drop that in civil conversation.

Basically, take the lessons and learn from it and stop arguing.
