Love this work!
Re:US agencies call for pause in Johnson & Johnson vaccine on Tuesday April 13, 2021 @12:53PM (#26795257)
This really is a sad, sobering reality. "6 cases in 6.8 million", ~0.00000089% chance of death via J&J vaccination. Extremely disheartening to see, but rather telling, where priorities lie. Politics aside, this is sheer stupidity, as you mentioned. Brace for another year as mutations continue to develop throughout the developing world while we waffle over infinitesimally minimal risk.

Re:Ask HN: Is Rust worth it compared to Golang? on Tuesday May 05, 2020 @04:21PM (#23084542)
Disclaimer: I am neither proficient in Rust nor Golang - rather a hobbyist using them in non-professional contexts. I have a bit more programming experience with Golang than Rust (just finished the Rust book).

I think you should identify which ecosystem and toolset you like working with. I'm leaning towards Golang for web development and web/system protocols. I chose to explore Rust as an intro to embedded development and audio/dsp programming - an alternative to learning C++. Rust seems great as a well-absracted, yet powerful and performant low-level programming language. I feel much more comfortable writing code with the Golang toolchain, but I feel much more confident with my end-result thanks to the strictness of the Rust compiler. I appreciate the specifics Golang conventions and opinions as well as the openness/comprehensiveness of the Rust language and community - not saying there aren't conventions and idioms, rather there are so many options and approaches to implementation within the language. YMMV, figure out what feels more natural to your process, style, and application context.

Re:Ask HN: Getting into Remote Work as a Junior? on Tuesday May 05, 2020 @03:49PM (#23084115)
I think it is important to highlight what process works best for you and emphasize that to employers. Personally, I am more productive working remotely, in control of my environment and surroundings, and I frame that as a positive aspect of my contribution for the organization. Sure, some people want to see numbers or hear about previous experiences within a certain context, but I think it's all about communicating how you align with, and contribute to, that context. I've worked remotely as both a junior and more experienced engineer - mentoring junior engineers remotely; there's capacity for remote work at all levels. I think some employers are more curious about your remote processes than actual experience (e.g. how do you handle working with people in different time zones, what sort of productivity and communication tools do you use to work asynchronously). I highly suggest contributing to an open-source project that you use or are interested in - even if it's something small like committing documentation or fixing a minor issue. That is some of the most meaningful and fulfilling asynchronous remote work experience to tout. Don't get discouraged. The world is massive. You will find people that value your skills and talents, and you will obtain what you are seeking if you stick to it. I hope this helps. Cheers!

Ask HN: Interview Feedback (Non-USA)

I am curious about your experiences regarding feedback after the interview process, specific to individuals and organizations outside of the United Sates. Do you receive constructive criticism? Data on how well you performed? I perceive the interview process as a time to learn more about myself, my strengths, and my weaknesses - what I should be working on for future interviews. I live and work...

Thank you for sharing this multimedia diary and recommendations. I walked the Nakahechi route a few years ago, it was one of the most beautiful, profound, and peaceful experiences in my life. As for Ise-ji; damn, that looks like a fine hike. I hope to complete the Kumano Kodo journey soon!
Re:Signal threatens to dump US market if EARN IT act passes on Thursday April 09, 2020 @05:55PM (#22827609)
With all the press around EARN IT, this would be a great opportunity for companies with even a mild focus on combating criminal activity on their platforms (Facebook, Mailchimp, etc.) to collaborate with bureaucrats and/or testify in congress.

Thorn seems especially poised as mitigating child abuse is the essence of their organization. Whatever their stance, they appear to be an authority in the private sector spearheading technical efforts to combat child abuse. If any Thorn engineers/representatives - or any platform engineers focused on abuse prevention - are reading, I'd love to hear your take on the proposed legislation. It's imperative that we grant resources necessary to challenge such a horrific human issue without sacrificing our privacy and subsequent civil liberties

Ask HN: Transitioning from Software Engineering into a Parallel Discipline
