Evgeniuz··on Show HN: I built a 2-min quiz that shows you how bad you are at estimating
There’s a bias, I think. When I saw the title that is about how bad I’m at estimating, I’ve leaned towards counterintuitive answers. This got me quite a high score. I think test set should also include intuitive facts (or maybe I was just lucky).
Evgeniuz··on Helm is a personal server that lives where you do
What I do is use L2TP/IPsec VPN to phone into my home network and then login and use Synology NAS "locally". There's no inherent need to open your NAS to the internet if you don't want to.
Evgeniuz··on Discovery of Lost ‘Golden’ City in Luxor, Egypt

Evgeniuz··on What we can learn from the latest indoor dining study
I find it amusing that there are just two mentions of COVID-19 in the small quote in the middle of article. Yet everyone completely understands what this article is about. Wondering how soon it won't be so obvious (probably not very soon, but still).

I'm a software developer with 8 years of experience in a variety of both backend and frontend technologies/frameworks. Looking for a remote position or part-time remote consulting opportunity (may consider relocation after travel restrictions due to quarantine are lifted).

Love learning new things (currently mastering Rust) and solving hard problems (optimization, debugging etc.).

My current position is a bit unstable due to lockdowns and quarantines, so I'm looking for a more stable job right now. Have almost 10 years of industry experience, worked remotely and within distributed team previously.
Evgeniuz··on Ask HN: Have you been laid off?
Thanks, I've applied. Didn't know Sourcegraph is a remote company. BTW, I've used it on one of my projects before and it was really easy to set up and proved great for onboarding new developers, so thanks for developing it :)
Evgeniuz··on Ask HN: Have you been laid off?
We're providing services for people organizing events (weddings, conferences etc.), that is probably one of the most affected sectors right now.
Evgeniuz··on Ask HN: Have you been laid off?
I suffered pay cut due to outbreak affecting my company. It was profitable and growing steadily, but due to outbreak people stopped using it (and paying). Right now we're in the red, this is not sustainable, so I think in a couple of months I will be laid off (unless situation stabilizes by then).

It's a bit scary to be in this position, as I know most companies here stopped hiring, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a new job quickly.

Kind of feeling I'm hitting the ceiling working locally (doesn't feel like I'm doing impact, as local companies don't really have interesting problems to solve), but not really willing to relocate right now. Looking for a place that is technically challenging as I would like to improve my skills and learn something new. And one that follows good development practices (CI/CD, testing - passes Joel's test in a nutshell).

Evgeniuz··on Who wants to play the status game?
Kind of a smaller ones, but "Hanabi" and "Grizzled" are also nice. The good thing in these two games is they're not feeling like group solitaire (and I love a good game of Spirit Island, but point stands), you actually have to cooperate with another people, you can't win them by yourself.
Evgeniuz··on JetBrains Mono: A free and open source typeface for developers
That's not always true. Reader may decide to not use ligatures and the code will appear as is for them. They're entirely optional.
Evgeniuz··on A German word for:“It only works when I try to show you how it does not work”?
In russian this is called "General's effect", where general is an army general. Basically, something is working as long as a higher rank official is present and not working otherwise.

Looking for a remote job with good development practices. I enjoy writing reliable tested code, but this is not always valued in corporate environment. Love solving difficult problems, diving into code to pinpoint and fix exact cause. Also, have experience working remotely.

Evgeniuz··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (November 2018)
Thanks, fixed it :)
Evgeniuz··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (November 2018)
Location: Ukraine;

Remote: Only, have previous experience working remotely and like it much more, this is partly reason I'm looking for a new job;

Willing to relocate: No;

Technologies: Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, NodeJS, React, Redux;

Résumé/CV: Available upon request, you can look on my contributions to some open source projects on https://github.com/evgeniuz

Was working remotely for couple of years after college, then moved into office for higher pay, it was a nice experience, but I value flexibility much more, so am looking for a remote position. Also, would like to find a company with good development practices and low technical debt (unless you're a startup, then I would like to help you reduce your technical debt :). My favorite types of problems are hard to trace bugs and figuring out best approaches to do something new, it's just not that interesting developing something you already know how to do.

Evgeniuz··on Can staying awake beat depression?
Maybe this is natural defense mechanism? Body tries to alleviate symptoms of depression by sleep deprivation :)
Evgeniuz··on Is Bitcoin a Bubble? Economists Say ‘Yes’
> They seem to be good at predicting things with known variables, but not with unknown unknowns.

Exactly. 96% consensus on a guess is just as good as 99% or a 1%. It doesn't matter how many experts agree if they base their decision on unreliable information.

Evgeniuz··on Ways to Design the Letter 'M'
> Let’s just hope the fine folks at the Kiev metro, with their underwear logo design, weren’t going for meaningful symbolism.

They actually were going for meaningful symbolism, just not about underwear :) Green diamonds at the bottom are simplified chestnut tree leaves. Chestnut is a symbol of Kyiv.

Evgeniuz··on The Hardest Places in the World to Visit
I'm from Ukraine and it's interesting to note that people from first-world countries have trouble getting into third-world countries. Because I certainly have reverse problem: getting into first-world countries, as I have to go through extensive background/finance check, prove accomodation and travel info etc. to get visa. What's even worse: I would like to visit neighboring country for just a couple of days from time to time, but I can't afford this, because visa fee is almost same as ticket price. And longer trips are limited by vacation days.

Anyway, it seems this wall is created on both sides and IMHO, this is sad. We should collaborate, not create barriers between people.

Evgeniuz··on Zimbabwe offers new exchange rate: $1 for 35,000,000,000,000,000 old dollars
I haven't thought about it this way, this actually makes sense. Insane margins threw me off.
Evgeniuz··on Zimbabwe offers new exchange rate: $1 for 35,000,000,000,000,000 old dollars
I think supply/demand may get in the way: not that many people need zimbabwean dollars, just some collectors and those who seek them for novelty value. Market will become saturated pretty quickly.
Evgeniuz··on Zimbabwe offers new exchange rate: $1 for 35,000,000,000,000,000 old dollars
You can just buy some on eBay.

I once made a wager (which I lost) with a friend for "a million dollars" as a joke, but then found that you can just buy trillions (at the time) of zimbabwean dollars easily, so I bought some and delivered :) Funnily, they sell it on eBay at a price higher than their exchange rate (and that's excluding shipping).

Evgeniuz··on Calories in, calories out
I think the author of previous comment meant that changes need to persistent, not transient. One can't just stop taking heroin for few months to improve their health and then go back using it again. Same with food - if you want your weight to stick, you need to adhere to your diet permanently and don't start eating junk food once you hit your target weight.

Evgeniuz··on Show HN: A Javascript library to overcomplicate Five
var six = function() { return five() + five() / five(); }

Some people may rely on that functionality.
