Re:IT employment grew by just 700 jobs in 2023 on Tuesday January 09, 2024 @09:37AM (#38926643)
I am senior developer/data engineer based in Poland. 2021-2022 I was getting remote work offers from all over Europe, some from quite interesting places. Today I am still getting offers but mostly from Poland, lower rates or not disclosed, more boring 'build an ETL' type. There is a definite change but looks like it would still be possible to get a new job quickly, possibly at lower rate.
In Poland I pay flat monthly rate for all in-country calls and SMSes. It is internet usage that you pay more when going over certain limit. SMSes being expensive would be true story maybe 10 or 15 years ago.
Re:Slovio, an international simplified Slavic language on Friday March 04, 2022 @12:48PM (#30557931)
Polish example seems to be some mix up of forms:

  Jestem z Polski == I am from Poland
  Jesteś z Polski == You are from Poland
  Jestem Polakiem == I am Polish
  Jesteś Polakiem == You are Polish  
Both have very close meaning but 3&4 seem to be equivalent of examples in other languages given above.

Re:Using an ETL framework vs. writing yet another ETL script on Saturday December 18, 2021 @05:25AM (#29603401)
I am tasked with standardizing ETL in a small org, airbyte is on my list to evaluate. As I write this there are 64 comments in the thread and only a single comment mentions actual experience using airbyte. Any other actual insights using the tool? What about Airflow downsides mentioned in the article? Thx!

Re:Ask HN: What are the best hacks to fight depression? on Thursday June 14, 2018 @11:21AM (#17312349)
Ask HN: What are the best hacks to fight <insert illness that can kill you or ruin your life>.

Start from trusted resource like: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/low-...

It is possible that you will need to work with therapist who has spent decades debugging and solving problems like yours. If you can't afford therapy try to talk to real people with years of life experience outside of hacker forum.

At the end of the day you will need to understand what is the cause of your problem. Start thinking about it right away.

Try Dynatrace. Disclaimer: I used to work for them.
Seek professional help,good therapist who you trust. People get treated for all kinds of addictions, your case likely will not be that special nor hard. I am not an expert but I would guess addiction may not be the only psychological problem to address. It might be expensive but should be worth it. Good luck.
Re:Show HN: Make a rectangle – a puzzle game on Tuesday September 29, 2015 @01:54PM (#10298128)
Same here. I kept notebook full of solutions I have found. My favourite trick was to use sets of 2 pieces placed next to each other that could be flipped without need to rearange other pieces. This way I could get 2 slightly different solutions in one shot.

Try http://leandomainsearch.com . Generates hundreds of free domain names based on keywords. Usually you are able to get pretty decent name based on that.

3 year girl in my family had serious gastrointestinal issues. She suffered on the daily basis and it made contact and therapy just much much harder. Diet adjustment was huge win. It does not cure but enables development.

There are many publications that suggest that autism spectrum disorders are caused by different neuron wiring compared to so called neuro-typical human. The nature of this differences is not well understood but it does not sound like something that can simply 'treated'

EDIT: good article how some people are able to function with autism (which may look like treatment but it is not) http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/03/magazine/the-kids-who-beat...

Try https://ruxit.com, we are fresh out of beta (disclosure: I work on ruxit)

Supported technologies: https://ruxit.com/ruxit/supportedtechnologies.html

We have pretty cool technology to correlate events into bigger buckets (problems).It is based on tracking of each individual transaction flow through the stack plus discovery of infrastructure topology and performance.

Re:Ask HN: Creating a query builder for end users on Saturday April 19, 2014 @04:16PM (#7614569)
I was working on such system for performance measurements. Basic assumption was that user would never see any mention of tables, joins, column names nor any other SQL concept.

1.Table selection - there is predefined set of joined tables we call views. Views have descriptive names e.g. 'Temperature measurements', no underlying tables are shown.

2.Column selection - user selects columns from views using descriptive names , not actual column names . UI clearly indicates columns that land in 'group by' section by calling them dimensions. There is predefined aggregation strategy for all columns that are not dimensions - e.g. average for temperatures or sum for number of measurements. In some cases more that one aggregate is available e.g. average or maximum temperature. User just selects maximum or average temperature not aggregation operator.

3. Filters: user can select simple filters on columns: =<> and string matching for text. All filters are ANDed

4.Sorting: user can select columns to sort on.

5.Display: results are displayed as tables or charts. More that one section may be placed on single report.

The real system has tons of additional features but basic design as design as described above has worked great for years.

This is definitely not a small market and there is plenty of competition:
