SEEKING WORK | Gold Coast, Australia | REMOTE

Full Stack Engineer with 10+ years of experience. I specialise in building web applications with Laravel & websites with WordPress.

I prefer a long-term contract (10+ hours/week) but I'm also available for smaller projects.

Skills: PHP, Laravel, Livewire, Vue.js, TailwindCSS, Bootstrap, DevOps, WordPress

Ask HN: How important is it to be passionate about the problem you are solving?
If I'm being completely honest, I have a resume maker website but I'm not passionate at all about resumes.

Although it is really rewarding to help people in something as important as their job search, what I am really passionate about is building cool things online and the potential of building a lifestyle business that would allow me to be a time millionaire.

But I always wonder how it would feel when both boxes are checked- when you are passionate about the problem you are solving AND passionate about building your own business.

Sometimes what you're passionate about is not economically feasible- I would love to develop video games but the market is already saturated. Although having a successful business could leave room for me to use my free time to follow my passion.

Then the line can get blurry- am I passionate about the problem my product is trying to solve or passionate about the result of solving that problem? I don't actually care about resumes but I work on it with passion because of the possible outcome ... what is the difference then?

I'm sure there are plenty of people on this forum who have had a great money-making idea and went for it. But that's not necessarily in niche that you feel passionate about.

What do you think is the extent to which a business can be hindered when the founder(s) have no passion for the problem the business is solving? Do you think it even matters?
I can point to several important public sites that fail on all non-Chrome-based browsers. Until recently, I expected websites to work on any of Chrome, Firefox or Safari, but we seem to be looking increasingly at a google only internet. (It might not be the result of explicit behaviour by Google/Alphabet but it feel anticompetitive to me. Can you spell "antitrust" children?)
it's highly unlikely there will be a clear general EOL for software on this generation of consoles... at all. A unified x64 target across all platforms is just too convenient for developers to give up. Xbox or Sony diverging from that would be a massive hit in revenue for them and any developers who would like to publish there. Nintendo Switch, while selling the hardware in massive amounts, still has poor library parity with x64 consoles, and it will remain like this, not just because of lower specs, but because porting is actual effort there.
Aren't you confusing ad injection over usability here? The official client used to be in a usuable state.

With their shift of focus to PURE ads it has now become a hemorrhoid of the internet (unless you use custom clients)

Who is Mr. Big in the field of Chaos Theory, and isn't Control Theory diametrically opposed to Chaos Theory?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1eUIK9CihA

James Gleick, Doyne Farmer, Jim Crutchfield, Ken Wilson, or Leo Kadanoff maybe?

https://petterhol.me/2022/08/11/the-golden-age-of-complexity...

>J Gleick, 1987. Chaos: Making a New Science. Viking Penguin, New York.
The name aside, Gleick’s Chaos is the quintessential complex systems book, providing a prototype for the golden age. It does an excellent job of capturing the frenzied mid-80s dynamical-systems scene, culminating* in Jeff Goldblum’s chaos theorist character in Jurassic Park (allegedly inspired by Gleick himself). But Chaos spans adjacent fields too, namechecking future Santa Fe Institute luminaries like Doyne Farmer and Jim Crutchfield and statistical physicists like Ken Wilson and Leo Kadanoff. All-in-all still a worthwhile read, not only for the zeitgeist.

Hey Richard, great to hear you guys are doing well! A search engine with more personal control over rests is certainly attractive.

My intention wasn't to dismiss the possibility of popular new search engines. Only to highlight that the environment is substantially more complex/challenging than in 1997.
Their status page is reporting BitBucket as being operational [1], classic. Wonder what the cause for this downtime will be. Last time it was a maintenance script [2] that ended up taking down most of their services for ~2 weeks.

EDIT: The status page has now been updated. Didn't realise how long BitBucket had been down for prior to seeing this.

This is a well composed idea. This reminds me slightly of (Rich's?) Codeq https://github.com/Datomic/codeq although codeq is only outlining code/scm relationships and not syntax trees etc. I think I was always hoping codeq would add something like this (for doing what you are doing to validate forms) but the input mechanism probably needed more hammock time

It was only a few minutes before the status page has been updated. I think this is perfectly valid.
So glad to see this thread, reading everything! Question I've been wondering for months and unsuccessfully seeking out people with experience on the topic - I'm going to be launch a socket.io app on heroku soon, a multiplayer card game, and I have _no idea_ what kind of hosting costs to expect in terms of dyno usage. Has anyone done something similar?
I guess you could use Firefox container tabs?
Hmm, but it's possible that as you can't reach your phone, eventually you'll develop into using your computer for browsing, isn't it?

No really, you guy's are not as smart as you think or the technical understanding is as low as the floor.

How come a development lib is downloaded xxx times? Because it's downloaded by the developers.

Developers have to use development and production and online systems. Here you have 3x downloads. Now multiply that with the countless redeployments and re-setup-instalations...

It's a lib used quite in a lot of projects. I'm rather surprised it's not downloaded tenfold the figure.

One could argue this is a fault of the juidicial systems involved. Laws should be written clearly enough for any judge on whose desk such lawsuit lands to throw it out or face ridicule from their peers.
That's true, I used to use Dokku a while ago but after some time I just wanted to take it easy and click buttons haha

This is like if civil engineers were allowed to build bridges without any formal education.

Sorry, but this was a somewhat bad advise. You can solve huge Steiner tree problems (up to a million of edges) in practice to optimality. See for example this solver:

There is a wide-spread misconception of the meaning of NP-complete, unfortunately.
Also, it should probably be NP-hard, not NP-complete, the latter is for a decision problem only.

If you are ever in the same situation: don't make yourself Bezos slave, instead get a damn hobby. And no, gaming does not count.

Things like woodworking and metalworking can give you a physical and also a mental excerise, and feels much more rewarding than playing he's or shopping. It can also be quite social as there are tons of people with similar hobbies, maker fares and meeting places.

And yes, if you like it but miss being able to support yourself financially you can probably turn it into a business
Porting x86 to ARM is not really that difficult. You've got to recompile your code on the different machine anyway, so the architecture itself shouldn't be the major barrier.

>So you are okay with someone mining bitcoins if they do so using Solar energy?

Well there are two separate issues.

The first is that the price of hydrocarbons doesn't include the externalised cost of CO2 emissions, leading to market distortion. In a perfect world we would fix that, and see what shakes out.

If the combined effect of carbon taxes and high energy demand makes energy so expensive that people cannot afford the basics, then the next step is effectively one of rationing. If proof-of-waste miners are outbidding poorer people for energy they need to heat their homes (or the equipment to generate it), it might be necessary to ringfence energy production for providing a reasonable standard of living. If there is any excess then the miners and other discretionary users can compete to buy it.

All that is my understanding of how to employ market forces to most efficiently allocate energy resources to people that need it, whilst protecting the climate. But I don't know if we can get all that agreed in time, and I'll support anything that reduces unnecessary CO2 emissions quickly.
Mearsheimer got it right. Maybe he's more realistic:

I find these arguments kinda funny. Women have known for a long time that attention is a huge catalyst to driving their partners along their lines of perception. Their partners have been freely giving attention to women all their lives. Most of them didn't realize it is a problem then. It is highly unlikely that they will realize it's a problem now. After all we give it freely, nobody has a gun to your head to pay attention to your girlfriend all day or watch shitty content.

Yes, though there was a common enough problem with different types of cards (PCMCIA 5v and 3.3v and CardBus), the standard was similar and (badly made/worn down) sockets allowed to insert (partially) the wrong type of card, that would get stuck.

No. Theory offers you a quadratic speed-up of the exponential worst-case running time. And this is the theory. In practice, it looks worse.
....and: exponential worst-case running time is almost never observed in any kind of practical NP-hard optimization problem when using state-of-the-art algorithms on digital computers...
and talking about the Steiner tree problem: It is basically solved for all practical matters. Same for the famous travelling salesman problem. Look at this solver: https://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/tsp/concorde.html

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you're trying to say here.
So you're saying that if someone buys access to a kitchen, doesn't learn to cook or operate it safely, burns the place down trying to serve 100,000 people, they'll get a big insurance claim made against them and have a $150k bill? You're kidding me? Are you telling me people have to learn to USE these tools if they don't want a nasty surprise? :-P

(I'm being tongue-in-cheek cheeky here.)

I know you're mostly pushing boundaries with your $150k figure, although at this point it wouldn't surprise me, but AWS is a professional tool aimed at professional engineers. They created Lightsail for "personal stuff."

Right tool for the right job, I guess? Although tyou can actually combine the two on a network level (Lightsail and AWS, that is.)
How would you quantify that?

Take 50 years ago. There were more newspapers then - every town had its local columnists, who were the bloggers of the day. Big cities had multiple daily newspapers.

TV and radio broadcasting wasn't so centralized. There were a lot more local radio DJs and locally produced TV shows.

But if we look back at history, it's mostly the A list who come to mind.

As 99% Invisible suggests, "always read the plaque" - for example, from https://99percentinvisible.org/article/always-read-plaque-ma... :

] Roman: If you’ve never heard of Ellis Chesbrough, you’re not alone. In fact, as I record this, he doesn’t even have a Wikipedia entry. ...

] Dan: But back in the 1800s, Chesbrough was the man. And no one has ever worked harder to save Chicago from its own poop.

(Though he did have a Wikipedia entry, says https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ellis_S._Chesbrou... ).

A better 99% example is from the mid-20th century, when a college student was so locally famous the student body voted to name a building after him. But I can't find that example.
I am going to say what sounds stupid. Get a list of classic fiction. Cross off anything still in copyright. Read.

There is an assumption today that everything can be known and expressed. Great authors know that isn't true. They lead you somewhere where you might catch a glimpse.

Out of copyright because even so they are still being sold. I am not suggesting a list because it would be mine, and contentious.
We all get papers rejected. Nobel prizes get also papers rejected. And rejection is one of the very few tools we have to stop the crap from flowing in. This is not to say that all rejected papers are crap. Sorry to hear about your bad time with rejections, this is a universal thing.

On GrapheneOS[0] (privacy focused AOSP-based mobile OS) you can do that stuff easily while still owning your device/having root, etc (at least according to this video[1] I saw)

Wouldn't it better updating OS. I mean, I'm all for stability and if it's isolated no problem it not getting patches, but it if you're going in for kinda hackish updates to 16.04 kernels then maybe bumping to a later OS version might be better? You're already adding volatility and potential issues, but at least with a supported build it reduces the latter (and former really)
B Douglas, S Brunton, K Kim are all superb. But I'm longing for a YouTube series on more advanced control topics like robust synthesis, LMIs, switched/hybrid systems, etc. Any suggestions?
Many do - and for those of course they can fit a charger. Terrace houses in major cities often do not have any form of allocated parking, it's all on-street. You'd be sued pretty quickly if you dangled a cable across a public footpath and someone tripped over.

Not seeing anyone coming up with a way to solve that pretty important issue.
