Re:Ask HN: How do you deal with the death of a loved one?
on Thursday June 22, 2017 @08:08PM (#14616243)
My dad passed away from glioblastoma 2 weeks ago. My mom and I spent every day with him before his passing which helped us not live with any regrets after. After he died, my mom and I would do things he loved to do. It was painful do those things knowing he wasn't physically there... but it was comforting to do them as a way feel his presence. My dad loved camping with his trailer (I know nothing about trailers). I spent a couple days going through all his tools, learning how to setup a trailer and properly hitch it, then going on a camping trip for a few days with my mom. I don't think we will ever get over his loss but its nice to do things that you think would make him proud.

I've been using PIA for a few years and have been disappointed to see an increasing number of websites blocking VPN access.

Just to expand on this, maybe a job board should tell you what the interview process is like. Whether its take home test, whiteboard, in person project, etc.

My recommendation for preparing for tech interviews at the big tech companies is to answer as many questions as you can from here:

Use coderpad.io to write code for practice passing the phone screen.

If 3/4 of a software engineers day is communicating I hope they aren't staying at work till 9pm doing actual work.

Does this actually work for people? My experience interviewing for software engineering roles is that it's a time consuming and tedious process. I can't imagine juggling a full time job while interviewing with more than one company at a time.

Anyone know if its possible or makes sense to use something like t-sne for dimensionality reduction? If so, could the reduced data set be used to build a classifier?

This hasen't been my experience. I've been referred a few times before and still thrown to the whiteboard to reverse a linked list.

Do you have other suggestions for reducing neck pain? I'm 30 but I experience it very often. I just got a standing desk but wonder if that's enough.
Re:Google engineer writing Amazon reviews on USB-C cables that don't work

I'd like to see a technical review of the Nektech cables: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VIWE1ZY
They have over 200 positive reviews but I don't think they've been tested to same degree that Benson has been checking.
