Re:Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026) on Sunday August 09, 2026 @03:22PM (#49234743)
I'm remaking an old MMORPG Canaan Online to be fully native web client, learn a lot like reverse engineering the client server protocol, a bit of network programming, and how to render that sweet nostalgic 2D sprite with WebGL. Currently had somewhat playable server and the client going, got lot of help from AI to learn the domain I quite not understand.

So frustrated with finding remote jobs

I'm an Indonesian working here and currently looking for a new remote job. The job market, especially for remote roles, is quite limited, and even when I find one, the salary expectations often don't match. So now, I'm applying to companies overseas. But man, most of the remote positions I find online aren’t truly "work from anywhere" they require you to be in a specific timezone or at least...

I'm a full-stack developer with 10+ years of experience. Mostly I've done work in early stage startup building the MVP, from setting up the infra to mobile apps, I'm not picky on tech stack I'll use whatever stacks the client wants.

I'm looking to any kind of employment that can relocate me and my family to Australia.

Can't say much about culture shocks, Indonesian myself, but from my european friend who live in Jakarta for almost a year now said "people just late everywhere"
Re:Ask HN: Where can I live off 1k USD per month? on Thursday August 26, 2021 @09:18PM (#28323225)
I live in Jakarta, Indonesia. My monthly living expenses (adjusted from IDR to USD on current rate)

1. Apartment rent, 6 months contract at $1300 + $200 deposit, pay upfront, thus $250 monthly. It is a small apartment 1 common area, 2 tiny bedroom, and tiny balcony

2. Utilities, varying from $30 to $50, mine has 2 AC running almost 24/7, a PC with average 200 to 300 watt power draw, and 5 led light bulbs

3. Meals, 3 times a day for 1 person, $20 daily or $600 monthly (this amount considered fancy meal, you can get way cheaper meals like $2/each, way cheaper if you cook)

4. Internet, up to 100 mbps, $35 monthly. Internet quality like speed and stability will depend on area

5. Phone data, $7 monthly

6. Cigarette, I'm a heavy smoker (almost 2 packs a day), $4 daily thus $120 monthly

In total: ~$1050 I don't count for entertainment, transportation (people mostly use Gojek or Grab), subscription

Experience living in Jakarta from native perspective.

- Language barrier, most people can talk in English, although not that fluent, hand gestures give you more power than talk

- Poor pedestrian side road, if you like to walk

- City full of concretes, green park almost non existent

- Bad air quality

- Noisy if your resident near big road or high way

- Covid-19 related situation, Jakarta not the worse but people here tend to not care about this

Alternative to Jakarta, I would recommend.

- Bandung, cheaper living cost, small city, good air quality on most part, had lived there for 2 years

- Bali, foreigner friendly, especially Ubud area for extra nature scenery, I don't recommend Denpasar

Let me know if you have any question (email on my profile), as a fellow game dev I admire your dedication

I've been working on several industries in the last 8 years such as energy, taxation, environmental. Had co-found a startup in travel industry. Nothing stands out in terms of technicality but I'm open and adaptive person and of course willing to learn something new. I would prefer working in environmental industry but open for other offers as well.

Purely curious, what if that happen? 100% proprietary, will it do damage to any alternative language that use JVM?

I can agree on this, the booster was super key to show all window, I've never been this fast to context switch between window.

Out of topic, is low contrast and small fonts become a thing? I can barely read anything from my 13-inch notebook with 45cm distance between my eyes.

Couldn't agree more, in Indonesia Oil and Gas Upstream Special Task Force use Excel for almost everything, we try to replace Excel with many good app, but alas, when an app failed we just switch to good old Excel, someone even created Montecarlo simulation in Excel!
