Really well made, and touching. Thank you!

All true, but you don’t need to crack the hypervisor to play cracked games, and if you manage to jailbreak your console there are game backports for older firmware versions.

Also, there are unreleased kernel exploits (i.e. jailbreaks) even for the most recent firmware versions, which will inevitably come out in the future.

The scene is not as mature as PS4, but a lot of progress was made this year.

The article is not mentioning a really important part: the tax is per item category in the package, not per package.

So if you buy an USB cable and a piece of plastic on AliExpress, for 1€ each, the total price would be 1€ + 1€ + 3.60€ + 3.60€ = 9.2€ instead of 2€.

This is ridiculous, and will kill many hobbies. IMHO it's worse than Trump tariffs. A per-parcel charge would have made some sense at least.

This is really nice work, and it does showcase your skills, ability to learn, persistence and attention to detail.

I disagree with others who complain that either the design was copied or a few little details are not exactly the same as the original – I don't think that's the point here.

Congrats!

Since the ESTA is a visa waiver program, by taking advantage of it you don't require a visa so would not have to pay this fee. At least that's my reading of it...

It's sad to see all the negative comments considering that HN is often the go-to place for similar requests. This is a great idea, although I can understand how it can be risky for big tech employees.

Nice work anyway. Maybe you could market it for bugs/issues rather than just account suspensions. It reminds me of https://xkcd.com/806/

You can just upload them on Library Genesis

I've found myself thinking the same. Maybe researchers don't have the data and/or the platform? Not sure who records what they eat, and if they do they don't share it?

You raise a very valid point and yes, it could be a net negative.

However, what I was trying to do here is to reach organizations or people that already work the way I'd like, so that work is already organized in a flexible/async fashion and the arrangement can be a net positive for them.

And I think you should apply the same reasoning to the definition of "interesting work" or "meaningful work". Try to see the big picture, from a bird's eye view: a piece of work can be interesting or meaningful even if it has boring parts. Almost anything has and we probably wouldn't be here as human beings if we couldn't handle that. Carrying sick people up and down the stairs is strenuous (and repetitive?) but can still be a net positive because you feel so good for helping them. Same goes for writing software or any other kind of work.

I think that, as a manager, you should not shield me from the boring parts of any work but you should make sure that my overall "working experience" is a net positive for "interesting" and/or "meaningful".

Thank you!

Thank you.

Writing tests and documentation or diving deep into debugging hard issues is what I consider part of "good work" (and that I have also enjoyed doing), and I can't wait to do good work. It just has to be compatible with the rest of life. It's mostly the way we work that has to change rather than the content of the work.

Of course, but if it's part-time and full remote then it doesn't take away most of your day/life and I would have no problem with that. I also do translation work which can be tedious at times but I really enjoy it because I can do it from anywhere and just a few hours per week.

The "needs to be interesting" part is more tied to the "pay what you want" thing.

I completely understand your point of view and I would think the same if I were you, but that's probably the kind of work I'm trying to avoid.

I only have one life, and I just don't want to be paid to "stay around and do the boring bits", or at least not full-time and in an office. Just as an example, having to stay in the office if there's nothing else to do for the day was absolutely soul-crushing for me. I might be happy doing that kind of work part-time and remotely (almost nobody offers part time work) or I might want to do that later in life.

I read a post about Gumroad here on HN, and that's how I want to work. The way Gitlab does it is also very interesting.

There must be other people who feel and think the same, and the post is just a way to try to reach them.

VS code with Python is just frustratingly buggy. The only reason I'm forced to use it is the WSL/remote integration. Pycharm just works.

"AI" means all and nothing. I'd say just learn what you like and go with the flow.

Maybe you should think a bit more about why you like those topics (and start from a subset of them once you have a good answer, ideally the subset you like the most).

I don't mean to be rude but if your only goal is to add a side topic to your learning list I'd say either skip it or pick a random one as they're both technically interesting.

This is awesome. I have found myself needing such a tool many times. I'm using tab managers in Chrome but this looks so much better. Good luck!

> Forcing people to spend their time at work is as close to actual slavery as contemporary society allows, so that's what they do.

I completely agree with this, but I'm not sure this is necessarily beneficial for companies (compared to potential alternatives). In the end, the quality of their products benefits from happier employees, whatever "happier employees" means.

When I switched jobs from contracting at a FAANG to working for a worse company it was mostly due to bad mood in general. The job wasn't interesting anymore and I would feel like a well-paid slave. It felt like everything, including the house I was living in, was tied to or revolving around my job. It felt like I didn't have anything, except the job and what came with it.

Had they offered a part-time option with half the money or so, I probably would have stayed and started making the steps I'm making now as unemployed towards improving myself (more physical activity, side projects, volunteering, working on my mental health)

It doesn't have to be all the companies though, it can just be a few and then a few more. Gitlab and now Gumtree definitely stand out to me as one of the very few companies I'd be happy to work with and that's because of their approach to work.

My team got laid off a few months ago and after experiencing remote working this is the only kind of work arrangement I'd be happy to apply for. 40hrs a week of remote working does not allow for a lot of freedom, ~20hrs sounds amazing.

Really hope more companies start to adopt this.

Every time I tried GeForce Now it put me in a long queue before letting me in. Never happened with Stadia and the whole "take up your controller and play" experience feels more polished on Stadia.

Hopefully we'll get ray tracing and maxed out settings with the next Stadia hardware upgrade.

Is this it? Very interesting, thank you.
