Re:Patreon lays off 13% of workforce on Tuesday April 21, 2020 @11:07PM (#22941652)
seeing news like this really brings me down, no matter what i hate when employees take the hit and i sure hope they can find another job sooner rather than later.
Been there and done that, it is key to manage expectation with both companies AND yourself. Make sure every assignment is very well thought out and planned, try to minimize long meetings by doing more small ones asking stuff like : what was achieved yesterday, what will we achieve today, and do I need help from anyone?.

Make sure to get rest and definitely try to scale your operation and avoid moving work to weekends because it will get out of control very fast. I made the mistake of taking more than i could chew and had to let go one of my clients because I was so tired i couldn't keep the quality of my work just as I wanted to.

So, what's the statistic of actual self driving cars killing people vs the actual people killing others or themselves.
Re:Gaijin Engineer in Tokyo on Sunday March 18, 2018 @04:01PM (#16613968)
This holds true for Japanese companies outside Japan, my wife was working as a developer for TOTO Mexico and they had a lot of personnel rotation because of these differences, mainly the meeting culture, it would often get in the way of the work and people ended up quitting or getting fired. It was however a good experience because of the high quality and standards it kept up with the product.
The site presenting it has issues but the library itself seems pretty decent. Keep it up man.

I am thankful enough to have this incredibly fun game available to me; let's hope they can keep improving it.
Re:Announcing .NET Core 1.0 on Tuesday June 28, 2016 @10:13AM (#11993930)
Yes, LINQ is really good. With these news i am willing to go back and try it in some more project.
What's your startup about?
Re:Announcing .NET Core 1.0 on Monday June 27, 2016 @11:42AM (#11986894)
Yes, that's a thing but at this point imagine just how much more confusion it could create if they change the name.

After so many years microsoft finally presenting their tools in a more moden way. Never been a huge fan of .NET but i can't deny is a great tool hopefully people try it out on more platforms.
Re:Ask HN: Are you using Go for web development? on Monday June 27, 2016 @11:29AM (#11986785)
This, no intricate dependency management or whatever, you just pick what you need, import it and get stuff done.
Re:Reasons not to use (i.e., be used by) Facebook on Monday June 27, 2016 @11:11AM (#11986652)
I don't know about what he says but i know that his heart is in the right place.
No need to get agressive, i just don't like microsoft forcing their telemetry stuff.
If they promise to remove the botnet entirely i'd be in.
turbo comfy
I once was offered a position for Java, passed the technical tests and all, turns out the job was all using C# and .NET, thankfully i was skilled enough to get the hang of it in a few days but it was very weird; how can people like this get paid for such terrible performance.
Re:Ask HN: Who in Austin, TX has a tech stack in Go? on Thursday June 16, 2016 @03:53PM (#11918431)
I don't know of any (no exclusive to tx) but i am more of a Go guy than any other language, simply because it performs incredibly well. I wish more companies used it.
this is pretty good! haha i am gonna use it (:
Re:Ask HN: Migrating from Mac to Windows for development on Wednesday June 15, 2016 @03:36PM (#11911547)
Vim, that's all i use and i like it, sometimes i use Sublime when i feel turbo-lazy.

But i despise windows for development in any stack that's not part of microsoft's. Maybe going with xterminals would do it for you?

Re:Show HN: Introducing MessageUs on Wednesday June 15, 2016 @11:19AM (#11909824)
it's not available in my country and there's no "about" in the landing, what is this?
Re:Another Update on Tuesday June 14, 2016 @07:45PM (#11906278)
This is incredible, looking forward for the release of the engine, what is it that you'd be doing with openAI?

(:

Anything PDF or something like that on demand, have it generate the templates and whatnot instead of relying in write it all by hand with the technology that recquires me to do so.
hey! i don't know if i can help you out with that but i am interested in following your project, is there any way to connect outside of this specifically?
That's not cool, even here in México we have that, but then again politcians in méxico are so fucking retarded that they may not even know what google street view is.
Unless your userbase is turbo small, it's impossible.

You can try to sell potatoes with silly messages written on them, i belive that's a plausible 1 man business and i am not even joking.
