Re:Ask HN: Advice for a Generalist Going Solo?
on Thursday June 02, 2022 @02:26PM (#31598702)
What's most important is to have complimentary skills and shared values. Lots of clues to what sharing values can look like:
1- social cues (do they say or do things the same or different?) 2- similar goals/motivations (do you often pursue similar milestones? do their motivations match or compliment yours?) 3- similar methods/reasons (do they think in lean terms? or large strategic moves? are they abstract? or ultra practical and metric driven?)
Make sure you can trust this person and that they always try to follow through on what they say. Understand how their own perception of their own status and recognition by others affects their decision making. I'd advise to watch very closely what they do, and weight what they say (justifications, rationalizations,) very lightly.

Ask HN: What does hackernews use to manage database schemas?
What do you guys use to track your database schema changes? Personally I’ve used custom scripts and alembic before. Recently I’ve been looking at some products like redgate https://www.red-gate.com and https://flywaydb.org. I’ve also found smaller services: https://hyperclone.com and many stack threads: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/175451/how-do-you-version-your-database-schema. It seems...

"combustion-derived nanoparticles" they mean car exhaust right? airborne pollutants from burning things. seems like just another reason to get rid of fire based energy.

space bat real talk. people will only be paid if they can give something valuable in return. if people dont have something valuable to offer or they have something of low value, they will not be hired or they will be hired for very little. so if people cant get jobs or become chronically underemployed the question is 'why dont people have anything valuable to offer?' there are probably many reasons, education, technology substitution for human capital, 'automation' though i dont get accused of being a luddite (which i am not) or sharing their fallacies (which i do not). automation will not take away someones job irreplaceably until that automation is 'strong' enough to do lots of stuff. its getting there and it may be contributing to our problems. but its not a reason to panic, if less people can have jobs thats actually a very good thing, we can spend time on other cool stuff. its a reason to restructure our society a little. things that work often work for a period, very few things/processes continue or work indefinitely in the universe. so we could maybe rethink how our society distributes wealth, ownership, etc. how do we get people in a position to offer something valuable? economists spouting dogma and ignoring real problems is pretty dysfunctional. they teach this sort of junk in schools too. its important to fall back on what we know but its also important to re examine what we think we know. its important to think in simple principles when reexamining. gorund-up. economists/many scientists dont like doing that for more reasons that id like to get into here. it falls to people with common sense frankly, which i find lacking on blogs like this.

Re:Show HN: An Alternative Web Interface for YouTube
on Monday July 04, 2016 @09:29AM (#12030612)
these are the changes as per the about page:
Essential YouTube is an experiment to improve user experience by stripping the redundant away and focusing on the essentials.
Features: Disruption-free Search The video keeps playing even while you are searching. Instant Search See the results as you are typing. Queuing Queue videos as you like to watch them consecutively. Looping Loop a video forever. Hassle-free Video annotations are disabled by default. Also, no Autoplay, but the videos you want to play. Client-side There are no servers in-between you and YouTube; everything is done on your computer and it's open source. As private as it could be.
Obvious it might sound, but please keep in mind that Essential YouTube is an experiment, and as pleasing as it might be to use, it's not intended to be a replacement for everyday use. Missing functionality is not a bug, it's a feature.
