Re:Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (February 2025)

My 2 cents. Get a temporary job that is tangentially related to your skill sets. For example, if you are comfortable with python, there are plenty of backend jobs (api, LLM integration etc). Along with recession, people might be just using LLM tools instead of hiring a full-time data scientist, which might be the reason for less data science positions. I'm not familiar with data science domain and this may not be a accurate read of the situation. In any case, I think instead of waiting for the perfect data scientist job, just take a tangential job atleast temporarily. It will relieve some pressure, and you can better focus your energy on searching for your ideal job.
Wishing you luck for your search!

Show HN: Wordl – Terminal Wordle with a web like GUI
https://github.com/palerdot/wordl-rs
Hi,I have created a terminal app for wordle that has web like experience. In particular, it has keyboard hints and guess reveal animations. The idea is to able to play wordle in the terminal offline (and continuously if needed).This is also kind of a Rust learning project for me, and my first public rust project. The terminal game is built with ratatui framework, which is great. I find it...

Maybe check out Mint - https://mint-lang.com/
This is an effort that takes best ideas from Elm. AFAIK, the creator was one of the high profile community members (or atleast a prolific Elm user).
I'm not sure how this language will pan out. There are too much options for UI development right now. Also, last when I checked, you have to buy in on this framework/lang completely and you had no option of plugging this in an existing project.
Still, I think Elm users may find this interesting.

Why do you say that?
Sure, there were some dramas around how the language/ecosystem should evolve and almost all external opinions are not considered. But again, you could argue that Elm is consistent because of this heavy handed approach to language design. I'm just wondering why you would consider it as `partially abandoned`.

Re:Ask HN: I got into MIT. Should I go?

I would love to read your take after few years. Maybe you can do a Tell HN after 10 years.
I'm not from the US, so I cannot give any direct practical advice. But, all I can say is, if you choose to go to MIT, just make sure that it is not the only worthy accomplishment in your whole life. Most people from prestigious institutions tend to say they they graduated from XXX/YYY as the only thing worth mentioning about them. While not bad, if that is the only worthy thing to share, then those prestigious schools are not great after all ...
Whatever you decide, all the best.

Putin thinks there is an upside - It will deter west from integrating Ukraine into NATO. In a way this makes sense. West just don't want to deal with a Russian headache like this.

Precisely. Personally, I created a browser extension[0] for myself where I just save the webpage and set a reminder to read, and then just close the tab. This way, I just close the tab immediately, and then I would be able to revisit the page later via reminders. This kind of works fine for me.
