Shameless plug since I work for them, but have your tried Vizcom? We're in the ai-assisted prototyping and design space. Our focus is industrial design but I don't see why you couldn't get assistance with woodworking projects. :)

I have a cousin in Belgium who was laid off following some restructuring and her severance was 52 weeks. Not out of the goodness of the company's hearts, but mandated by law since they gave no notice and she had accrued seniority. US labor laws are a joke in comparison.
PM me her resume and contact info. We're hiring across software teams in SF and I'd be happy to get the referral bonus.

I'd invite you to visit Mississippi and then any of the top five EU countries and let me know which one you'd rather live in.
So the first AGI is going to be used to kill other AGIs in the cradle ?

Passenger load. They do use prop planes on routes with less passengers.

I recently flew between Oahu and Molokai. My return flight was delayed seven hours. I literally could have paddled a canoe home faster. Mokulele deserves all the negative press it gets.

Re:Ask HN: A New Decade. Any Predictions? on Thursday January 02, 2020 @08:59PM (#21942302)
1.) In the US regulators will step in and for someone to be considered a software engineer something like the FE and PE exams will have to be taken.

2.) The above will drive a larger wedge between high and low earning software workers.

3.) A heatwave in the subcontinent will kill over a million people, sparking the first mass migration.

4.) Western politics will trend to more conservatism and isolationism.

5.) Grab or Gojek will be worth as much as Facebook is today.

6.) A $100 Billion tech company will get it's start in Africa.

Re:AWS API Performance Comparison: Serverless vs. Containers on Saturday February 23, 2019 @02:09PM (#19234956)
It's a (relatively) fixed-cost model vs pay-as-you-go. At a certain level of traffic something built on top of ALB/Fargate will be cheaper to run than serverless solutions.
Re:AWS API Performance Comparison: Serverless vs. Containers on Saturday February 23, 2019 @02:04PM (#19234931)
Having run a service on Fargate in prod before I can almost guarantee that the errors he was seeing were 504s which are caused by the server code and the ALB not having their request-timeouts set to to the same value.
Re:Ask HN: How do you normally choose your database? on Wednesday January 09, 2019 @02:03PM (#18867678)
It's a pretty simple process, I just choose Postgres.
Re:Ask HN: What's your ideal tech stack for 2019? on Wednesday January 02, 2019 @01:29AM (#18804571)
It depends, if it's just you and you want to get to market quickly building your web app and backend in Rails backed by postgres and redis is still a solid choice. Put your code in docker and have AWS' ECS Fargate manage it, do the same for your DB(Aurora) and cache(Elasticache). I can't speak for mobile devs, but it sounds like a lot of the hype around react native and whatnot has died down.

A bigger org I'd probably just change the backend code to Go and start taking advantages of other AWS products to manage ETL/monitoring/logging/etc. The change to Go is mostly just to prevent your more 'clever' engineers from producing code that no one but them can understand. Languages like Clojure and Scala while cool can start causing real problems in an org where the experience level isn't uniform.

A note on tech that bears repeating, if it isn't going to be your differentiator then choose boring building blocks.

Check your map, it looks like you may be matching "Remote, or XXX" with the town of Remote, Or (Oregon).
