A new year starts with a lot of hopes and dreams, and why not, there is usually some energy at this time of the year, and it's a good time to start new things or focus on bettering existing works/hobbies.What do you want to spend time on in 2020, why and how much time are you going to allocate to it?

For those companies that have hired full time remote employees from outside of US, is there any specific legal/tax related processes? Do they need a US Tax ID? Is the process any different if you are paying them cash + equity?
It will be in the region of hundreds of GBs.

I am helping a small-mid sized company build their data analytics/warehouse platform. The data sources are micro-services around business applications recording transactional data, and the analytics platform should support historical reporting/aggregations/ad-hoc querying capabilities with quick response times and ability for data science folks to play with raw data.There has been a lot of...
This is great. I have been tinkering with the idea of building something that helps people learn something in the most efficient way possible. I have been pretty frustrated with most learning materials for almost anything, especially when you have limited time and a lot of interests. Keep up what you are doing and hopefully I will be able to share something after a couple of months.
He does say "we" in his last sentence.
I stumbled across this post a while back, some legit suggestions.
I have been thinking kind of along the same lines. I work full time but I can carve out 5-8 hours a week to work on some research project and add value as a technologist. I would love to contribute especially to projects and folks working in the medical field trying to fight diseases, finding cure and advance genetic engineering to name a few.
I think a lot of people would love to contribute their free time and together that would mean thousands of hours of help into these projects which could mean that the goals could be achieved sooner. The problem is I don't know where to start and which projects would benefit from my 5-8 hours a week. This seems like the same problem I have with contributing towards open source projects.
I would love to talk more and see if there is a viable solution out there.
Very interesting. Thanks for the insight.
I would love to help. What is the roadmap and what do you all need help on? I might need a little help understanding tensorflow because I have never really used it.
Really cool and interesting. Looks like deep learning and AI is going to make some significant strides in the tech industry. I read somewhere that there is still a lack of professionals to expedite the adoption in the wild. What additional skills are required by your regular full stack software engineer to be useful for a deep learning company? I know there are courses out there but I am not sure if they are too academic. Are there specific technologies that one should be playing with?
What are some typical use cases that you have worked on with your clients, and can you give us an example of the impact it has had for a client?
What does 'doing that with POSIX' mean? I have read this many times but I do not have a clear understanding.
I have the idea, we spent a lot of time struggling to progress on a particular topic and most of the time it just slips away. Can you provide a concrete example of what you would want to learn, what is your current skill level and what this service should do to provide value to you?
I am working on #2. There has to be some sort of incentive for the mentors for this to be sustainable. As a mentee what can you provide to the mentor? What do you think will make this relationship be sustainable?
I was(am?) in the same boat as you. I don't like using other platforms because they don't do exactly what I want. I go through the same decision points while trying to maintain a todo list. I guess that is the drawback of being a developer, you know you can do better(for your usecase) job of developing a great application and eventually, writing a blog or maintaining a todo list becomes an excercise in yak shaving (

I am trying to get over this habit. Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated.
Congratulations on the launch. Read a couple of entries and loved it!
For the senior software developer position, do you need to have prior production level Golang experience?
Will you be able to provide the compensation range for a senior ruby engineer? And also, what the interview process looks like?
I don't have the expertise to help you with this specific situation, however I would love to know the approach that you took and the outcome of this endeavor. Please share it when you are ready.

Hey HN,
I am doing some research on how developers spend their work time. Besides standups, meetings and ping pong, what percentage of the day does a developer spend coding, researching libraries/technologies, etc?For example,
I spent 70% of my time yesterday reading about a couple of message queues and trying to understand which one would be appropriate for my needs and spent the rest 30%...
