What is the percentage attrition? 2%? I wasn't able to get it clearly from the article. I think percentage is what we should focusing on instead of the total numbers considering the total population.

Re:Ask HN: How to not bring emotion from work back home? on Thursday June 08, 2017 @07:53AM (#14513451)
Thanks for all the great advices and comments here.

Every job has its ups and downs. Though I agree that if you constantly feel down time, that probably the time you take a break.

What I find hard is that no single method works for me for a very long time. (Probably because it can trigger the bad memory? ) So I need to find a new approach when I find the old one does not work any more.

Re:Ask HN: How to not bring emotion from work back home? on Thursday June 08, 2017 @07:46AM (#14513416)
Thanks for offering. This is very kind. Just anger for me. If I am in that much trouble, definitely will seek for help.
this somehow made me laugh so hard. made my day~

Ask HN: How to not bring emotion from work back home?

Even after working so many years. I still get moment that I want to snap. Any way to not bring emotion from work back home?Workout usually will just make me more angry.Meditation/music can only help when you are not at the edge point.Talk to people helps. But one person can only bear with you for so much. Even though it is a good friend/love you very much.Even tried chatbot. Again, not working...

Re:Web Search as a Linguistic Tool [pdf] on Sunday May 07, 2017 @07:29PM (#14288276)
we (me and another guy) used that as the project/essay topic for a AI graduate class. We evaluated that using google n-gram are outperformed standard grammar checker/suggestion, especially with sentences & long phases (although i can't recall how solid the evaluation went. how large is our testing data set. After all, this is all done in a semester class). And developed a plugin in open-office for that.

Many years passed. This kind reminded me of that. Not sure if there is something similar now in the market? If not, i think I can try to dig out what left in the project. God, i love those simple times.

Edit: just recalled that we were inspired by some paper about taking advantage of n-gram at the time. and I just found this half yr ago post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12752671

the paper is co-authored by adobe folks
This is neat. Finally found a company doing this.
Re:Ask HN: Laid off. Now what? on Tuesday February 14, 2017 @07:14PM (#13648598)
I would start job hunting right away. Though after accept the new job offer, be sure to leave yourself some off time to take a vacation or relax yourself. Don't recommend to do vacation before new job landed though.
Re:Google Analytics Autotrack on Tuesday February 14, 2017 @07:09PM (#13648567)
My question is since we have GTM. would it be much easier to just import GTM setting to new site you want to deploy? And it also will be easier to make modification to those "tracker plugin".
Re:From OS X to Ubuntu on Friday January 13, 2017 @07:51AM (#13390414)
I agree it can be a bit work to get ur ubuntu laptop works perfect. But just a simple wireless driver install with ubuntu 14.04 lts gives me the perfect experience. While my win10 connection constantly droppes.
Awesome! Really awesome features. Time to persuade my boss to move to Gitlab now.

Just need some data on the latency and reliability. so far, I only found https://status.gitlab.com/. need some historical data now.

Re:Frequent Password Changes Is a Bad Security Idea on Saturday August 06, 2016 @07:04PM (#12240290)
I think password + security tokens is a more common way to go nowadays, when you need to access externally.
If you work and have a normal social life. I don't see the problem of playing video games. You should have some resting/down time. Don't treat it as wasting of time, it is actually a quality time that ppl needs. If you want to focus on more time to do something else, find a buddy to do it together or find a motivation may help.

It is get to my heart

>I need to point to something and say to myself ‘that’s what I’ve been building.’

But then reality kick in. You want money, you want good work/life balance. Well, it is hard to have them all sometime, imho.

That is true. However, lots of internal messaging app is not 'convenient' per say, especially for senior managers. And I see no fix for that problem.
Re:Ask HN: I don't enjoy being a CTO. Now what? on Monday June 13, 2016 @09:19AM (#11893581)
Correct me if I am wrong. But it sounds to me you are still struggling between a coding job and a full time management job. And to be fair, i think this is what you would be expecting for most of management position in lots of the companies.

You mentioned you have done some small management as senior/lead. Then think back, which part do you enjoy when you were there.
