That sounds amazing. What are prices like for a property like that? Do you do anything with the land?

Where'd you move? Do you miss the big city amenities?

Re:Ask HN: Anyone learned art (drawing, caricature etc.) as an adult?

Wow, just reading classical Arabic poetry was hard enough for me! It was one of the more frustrating genres of classical Arabic that I read. Having to look up every other word was just not my cup of tea. I did like some of al-Mutanabbi's stuff though. One of my old professors is legend in the field.

Couldn't agree more. K-12 education is largely useless if the goal is learning.

That's amazing! I have two under the age of five and I hope they will still want to hang out with me when they're adults. Sounds like you're a great parent .

Do you know anything about Las Cruces? I know New Mexico State University is there so I was curious if there's any kind of tech community down there.

How do you like it out there? Is there any kind of tech scene in the area or in New Mexico more generally?

Re:An example of how brands build fake reviews on Amazon

Sometimes I think writing reviews for products that I've purchased on Amazon is kind of a civic duty, a way to fight back against all the fakes and help our fellow shoppers.
Re:Woodworking for Engineers
on Thursday June 11, 2020 @12:27PM (#23490496)
All this woodworking and carpentry stuff seems so interesting. For those who are experienced, what's the most efficient way to gain basic woodworking skills? And what's the best advice you would give a beginner who's starting out? I.e. things you wish you had known when you were starting out.

Your stats are pretty impressive. I'm surprised you didn't get into an MD program especially considering that you did the postbac. I'm sure you would've gotten into DO school though.
I've thought about doing this myself. I'm curious, what made you want to switch (from software engineering I'm assuming?) to medicine?
Re:Remote software developers earn more than non-remote developers
on Tuesday April 21, 2020 @11:46AM (#22935990)
Has anyone else noticed that jobs that are advertised as remote on sites like weworkremotely pay substantially less than regular on-site jobs?
Whereas if you start a position on-site, do well, gain the trust of the employer and then go remote, then I can believe the argument of the article.
Ask HN: Have there been many layoffs in the tech industry due to coronavirus?
We've been hearing about all the layoffs in the hospitality, restaurant, and other industries but I'm wondering if the effects of the coronavirus shutdown are now starting to affect the tech industry.If you're currently still employed, do you fear that your job might be at risk in the coming months?

Ask HN: Any good office spaces in Pakistan with fast internet?
I'm currently in Pakistan and am looking for a good place to work remotely in either Lahore or Faisalabad. Some kind of office space with fast internet where electricity is not an issue. Does anyone know if there is anything like this?

Re:In South Carolina, a Program That Makes Apprenticeships Work
on Friday November 07, 2014 @03:42PM (#8574576)
Apprenticeships give people more viable skills than probably 75% of majors at four year universities. The fact is that you have an enormous glut of college graduates who studied sociology, political science, and communication who can't find work in anything related to what they studied so they end up working at a tech company doing customer service, doing a nursing program, working as bartenders, or as we all know learning how to program.
Re:Charlie Munger Donates $65M for Theoretical Physics at UC Santa Bar...
on Friday October 24, 2014 @05:43PM (#8506155)
Seems like UCSB is has come out nowhere in the past few years. When I was applying to college in California only about 10 years ago, I didn't even really consider UCSB because of its reputation as a party school and because it was ranked much lower than Irvine and Davis. I'm sure the recent Nobel prize win and this will affect it's reputation significantly.
