dnt404-1··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2021)
is there an option for full remote during Corona?

I absolutely love Idealo for price comparison. Before I buy, I search Idealo + product via Google

dnt404-1··on This is Real, That's Not
What does homelessness mean in an US context? Is it a state where you cannot even afford rent and actually sleep on the streets? I have read quite a few posts in HN referring to homelessness. For someone from a much much poorer nation, posts/comments from here suggest it is so so easy to be homeless in US than ours which brings disbelief to me.

And secondly, the author points she is "upper class"? How can upper class family or individual ever need to borrow loans and also not have assets? I only ask to gain some social context. For example, our social context, a middle class family wouldn't take education loans and would have assets, in general (even the many thousands of students who immigrate to US to study, the middle class student do not take loans to fund their education in US university - This is what always surprises me when I see posts/comments similar to this)

dnt404-1··on Show HN: Codemap – Codebase Visualizer for JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python
I was thinking about a tool as such and wanted to build after I finished my Master's when I would have time (as I work full-time). The experience you described is exactly why I wanted to build such a tool in the first-place. And, this is going to be really useful.

However, is there a Windows version? That is, unfortunately, what I have to use at work.

dnt404-1··on Ask HN: Programs that wasted you 100 hours?
that brought back memories of early teen.
dnt404-1··on Ask HN: What book will make me a better big project programmer?
Learn to use the debugger and read code commit history. And talk with your team-mates. In the last few months, as a student working part-time (< 20hrs/week), I am on a PHP codebase with over 5 million LOC and 15 years of work, and I was pretty good with dealing around it within a month. There are lots of dependencies like you mentioned and at least three different "eras" of code frameworks and hardly any documentation. I had not touched PHP in any capacity before this for at least 3 years. I admit PHP is easier to read and reason than Java when afresh but those three things made me really fast to be productive and making independent production-ready features.
dnt404-1··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2018)
Hey, do you have a werk-student or internship opportunity? And, further, possibilities for remote?
dnt404-1··on Curry spice turmeric boosts memory by nearly 30%, eases depression, study finds
Turmeric is a base spice used in many dishes from South Asian Indian subcontinent. It is good news if this has positive benefits. Maybe country comparative research can provide more evidence.
dnt404-1··on Linus Torvalds: “Somebody is pushing complete garbage for unclear reasons.”
The first reading I had the same trouble, but you should watch the >> (Linus's previous post) and > (David's post) to figure out who said what. And this post is by Linus replying to David.
dnt404-1··on How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Job Hunt
I have a similar experience. I am still at university and not a native-German, but I am asking around, and for a non-IT German, 60K (gross) would be like super-rich money, and companies are not willing to give you that much. However, my experience is not based on the big cities, where I know 50-60K (gross) would be the starting rate for a Master's student.

I would be interested to hear other's opinion and experience, as I will join the workforce later this year.

dnt404-1··on How do I permanently delete my account?
Can one collect data without "personal data" by anonymizing those specific attributes (ip, phone number)?

Also, say, I want to collect data about the performance of the web application. Can that be collected, or does it require explicit consent as well?

dnt404-1··on Ask HN: Resources to learn blockchain and smart contracts?
I quickly checked the syllabus, however didn't find smart contracts? Do they go into that in some of the videos? How much time do you think this course takes?
dnt404-1··on Ask HN: Resources to learn blockchain and smart contracts?
Did you do it via self-study? How was the experience?
dnt404-1··on Ask HN: Resources to learn blockchain and smart contracts?
that's quite a good resource :)
dnt404-1··on Ask HN: Can I be sued for recruiting former coworkers to a new company?
IANAL. This should depend on the contract you had with your ex-companies. My previous big company had a contract that stated that more than two of us could not leave the same time and work at the any same company for a period of 6-12 months.

I think if you and your friends worked together, but now, some amount of time has passed then, it should be fair enough.

dnt404-1··on Show HN: Identify mushrooms from pictures
I uploaded a picture of my math assignment, and it showed a recommendation of mushroom!! I am not sure if one should trust this to actually figure out if a mushroom is edible or not.
dnt404-1··on SPARQL Protocol for RDF
Anybody can share some light on companies that uses semantic web technologies? Currently at university have a semantic web class but I am finding it difficult where the use case are to create value for business or startup.
dnt404-1··on Ask HN: What linux distro should I start with?
I would suggest Antergos based on Arch, in that case. You can select xfce as the starting de, and then install wm on top of it, or individually. You will get a working distro quite easily, and after that you can customize as much as you want, without having to go through the base Arch distro installation, which requires you to follow the excellent Arch wiki guides. I installed Antergos on a 4 years old laptop that I got recently, and it works fine seamlessly.
dnt404-1··on Ask HN: What does your production machine learning pipeline look like?
I am studying ML this semester at university. I would like to get some ideas on where does a company like DropBox use ML. Can you state some problems that the team is working to solve or use cases?
dnt404-1··on Ask HN: Found an identical product to mine. Should I double down or refocus?
I posted a question in the vein of "unless you're violating copyright or patent law".

How do you know if you are breaking copyright or patent law? How do you figure out the jungle of patents? or patents that are too general and thus similar?

If the competitor is using PHP, and I use Python is that a different product in the view of the "patent"?

dnt404-1··on Developers’ side projects
I am in Germany now. Can you tell me why this is not the case in mainland Europe? Is it much better in Europe to do side-project in lieu of the fear of getting sued?
dnt404-1··on Show HN: We help co-founder profiles find a position in Berlin
I will be moving in to Germany in a few months, and might find this beneficial. Do you list companies that will work with foreign non-EU citizens?
dnt404-1··on Ask HN: Do you use Vagrant or Docker for active development?
I have been reading that Vagrant provides a out-of-the-box support for docker after version 1.7. So, it seems this will be easier, and with an obvious case for Windows or Mac.

I am already on Linux, so, my question is why create extra abstraction to it? Is not the function of docker to provide isolation as Vagrant but without the extra overhead of VM. As far as I could gather, one prominent use cases of Docker is the cheapness. Would not doing Docker on top of Vagrant beat that purpose?

dnt404-1··on Ask HN: Do you use Vagrant or Docker for active development?
How much time did it take for you to adjust? I still am finding it difficult to wrap the concept of dockerization.
dnt404-1··on Ask HN: Do you use Vagrant or Docker for active development?
Thank you for clearing that up. So, does this work like Vagrant's mount folders? Does the container then find the path to the host's development artifacts?
dnt404-1··on Ask HN: Do you use Vagrant or Docker for active development?
Did you use separate docker container for each of the stacks? From what I can gather, the docker way is to reduce each complexity to a separate container solution.

And, I agree that docker way of doing things is a bit tricky at first, since we are not used to doing things that way

dnt404-1··on Ask HN: Do you use Vagrant or Docker for active development?
At this point, I too am trying to find "it will 'just click'" moment for docker, though I have only been looking at the two for a few days only.
dnt404-1··on Ask HN: Do you use Vagrant or Docker for active development?
I have been trying to setup docker, but the tutorials on the web seem not to be focused on active development (at the moment). Can you link to some documentations from where I can learn about the workflow and transitions from old way of doing things to the docker way?
dnt404-1··on Ask HN: Would anybody hire a Web Science graduate?
Do they advertise specific jobs for Web Science? And, what do they work on after they get in, if you know?
dnt404-1··on Prof. Sussman's Reading List
Why do find psychology to be speculation? Do they not use empiricism in their studies (maybe not all of them)?
dnt404-1··on Exploit Exercises
Can you please put the download link in some other services that supports download resumes (or, possibly torrent)? Google Drive does not seem to support resume, and, restarting leads to start from byte 1. And, this is because from where I am based at, 451MB in straight download is not a sane propostion without resume support.
