Re:Ask HN: What's your favorite everyday app or product?
on Thursday May 23, 2024 @11:37PM (#40462569)
I like Structured. It’s a simple daily planner app but it has improved my productivity immensely. As a student, I also try different study apps (for example - https://ivypanda.com/blog/free-study-apps/), but, unfortunately, it`s hard to find something really worth sharing.

The research is intended to investigate the most common causes of job stress and depression among some employees of the organization, as well as examine how stress and depression are manifested among employees.
Re:Ask HN: How does plagarism checker work?
on Thursday February 22, 2024 @04:21AM (#39464925)
Plagiarism checkers are pretty straightforward to use - paste your text into the plagiarism tool, and it will give you the results with a press of a button. That may sound simple enough, but many "gears turning" happen behind the scenes (more details - https://ivypanda.com/plagiarism-checker).
Re:Ask HN: How do you manage your finances?
on Thursday January 11, 2024 @02:16AM (#38948855)
As I`m a student, mostly use these tips (https://ivypanda.com/blog/money-saving-tips-for-students/) currently. It`s the most comprehensive list I found and most of the stuff there wasn`t in other answers right now, so decided to mention it.
Re:Ask HN: What book(s) are you reading? Or have recently read?
on Friday November 17, 2023 @09:50AM (#38304353)
“Night” by Elie Wiesel (summary - https://ivypanda.com/essays/night-by-elie-wiesel-and-the-boo...). It would be fun to see such threads monthly :)
Re:Ask HN: How do I start over at 37?
on Friday October 13, 2023 @09:31AM (#37870396)
I think you should start by identifying your dream. When you know what exactly you want for your future, you can plan the steps to achieving it. And of course, you should be prepared for the possible challenges (https://ivypanda.com/blog/how-to-switch-careers-at-any-age-s...).
Re:Ask HN: Should I use Google Analytics ?
on Wednesday September 13, 2023 @07:15AM (#37495195)
It`s a pretty useful and convenient tool to use (https://ivypanda.com/essays/web-analytic-tools-overview/), so why not? I don`t think it`s stealing data, considering what info you want to obtain.
Re:Ask HN: Is Cyber Security still a good career path?
on Wednesday August 23, 2023 @09:27AM (#37235528)
With the rapid increase in IT projects, the job is enjoying a sky-high demand (important for corporations too, by the way - https://ivypanda.com/essays/cybersecurity-and-corporations-r...). Considering the statistic (https://www.comparitech.com/blog/information-security/cybers...) I think it will be like this for 10+ years at least.
Re:Ask HN: Who is the happiest person you know?
on Wednesday July 26, 2023 @08:37AM (#36876635)
There are plenty of ways to define what is happiness (https://ivypanda.com/essays/what-is-happiness-essay/), but for me, it`s that feeling that comes over you when you know life is good and you can't help but smile. Can`t say that I might know about the lives of people around me everything, so I`m not sure that I can define if they are truly happy and answer your question properly.

There are plenty of reasons to change career path (https://ivypanda.com/essays/why-do-people-switch-careers/) and as someone who chose my passion over stability can relate. If you could give it a try without a significant loss for you (won`t be starving etc.), why not?

Three years ago I had severe burnout, so sold almost everything I had and decided to travel on a tight budget (there are plenty of tips on that - https://ivypanda.com/blog/traveling-as-a-student-guide/) for a year at least. First two-three months I thought that I`m crazy and not gonna make it. It was really hard, but eventually, I started feeling much better and found a new hobby thanks to which I`m making money right now. The decision is yours, but I would go for it.

Re:Ask HN: I lack Motivation. What should I do?
on Thursday December 01, 2022 @02:29AM (#33813381)
First, you should find the reason behind the lack of motivation. After that find a way to deal with it (depending on the reason the solution could be different). Those tips helped me - https://ivypanda.com/blog/how-to-rest-effectively/- hope you will find them useful too :)
Re:AI for Creating Video Games Based on Animated Shows
on Thursday November 03, 2022 @12:48AM (#33447132)
It`s something that could be really interesting. Considering that there are plenty of popular games based on anime (as example - https://ivypanda.com/essays/pokmon-go-as-a-pop-culture-pheno...) the idea could be tenacious. I`m curious how hard it would be to embody.
Overworking Problem
Re:Ask HN: Do you plan work goals, etc. that take 1 yrs to bear fruit?...
on Friday September 30, 2022 @12:58AM (#33031167)
Yes, I am. For me, planning is important as it helps to organize my work and goals properly. It also helps to define the parameters that I should put in place to achieve an end goal and so on (https://ivypanda.com/essays/importance-of-setting-goals-and-...). Considering that software development is an extremely complex process, I`m sure it`s rational.
Re:Ask HN: What is your opinion on electronic voting?
on Thursday September 15, 2022 @01:45AM (#32847564)
Personally, I find it amusing and useful (there are plenty of benefits of it in all spheres - https://ivypanda.com/essays/the-benefits-of-electronic-votin...), but no electronic system is impossible to hack, so it could be used wrongly, which is a pity.
Re:Ask HN: Anyone having issues with job applicant fraud?
on Friday September 02, 2022 @04:50AM (#32688315)
As I`m an HR, my answer is yes. Statistics show that 53 % of resumes contain false information - https://ivypanda.com/essays/resume-falsification-legal-and-m... - so the hiring process is really time-consuming, especially last few years.

Everything has its pros and cons. Never saw any technology thing without some downsides and considering the great help of Bluetooth even in daily life - https://ivypanda.com/essays/bluetooth-technology-in-your-lif... - I think it`s a pretty decent invention.
Re:Ask HN: Shut down a startup despite strong traction?
on Thursday August 18, 2022 @03:09AM (#32506296)
Yes, I have. It wasn`t a pleasant experience, but I always think that anything that happens is a natural part of the growth process. And that experience helped me during my second startup (going steady currently).
Re:Ask HN: What's the biggest problem you face as a parent?

As I`m a single parent - financial (there could be possibly much more - https://ivypanda.com/essays/the-struggles-of-single-parentin...). My child is six, so all of the other problems we already lived through.
