jdan··on Would senior engineers be interested in working reduced hours or part time?
Definitely. I'm not even that senior and I'm interested.
jdan··on Ask HN: Those who left software development, what did you end up doing instead?
Do people that have escaped still read hacker news?
jdan··on Facebook is bombarding rightwing users with combat gear ads. See for yourself
Shouldn't it be "advertisers are targeting rightwing Facebook users with..."? I was under the impression that it was the advertiser who chooses the target audience.
jdan··on I Still Dislike My Home Work Setup (and I don't know what to do about it)
Maybe try https://github.com/debauchee/barrier instead of a KVM?
jdan··on Ask HN: What to $600 AWS credit only valid for 7 Days?
GPU mining. You should be able to burn through that in a few hours.
jdan··on JVM issue: concurrency is affected by changing the system time
Anyone know if this is still relevant? It was posted in 2013.
jdan··on Ask HN: Why no hardware virtualisation of a dual OS boot?
This is the right answer and definitely what the OP should do, but it isn't a "hardware virtualization" the way the original question was asked, IMHO. Still, totally the way to go for what the OP asked; great answer.
jdan··on Ask HN: Why no hardware virtualisation of a dual OS boot?
Accessing all of the hardware simultaneously from both systems without conflicts would prove to be a big challenge (there is more than just CPU and RAM on a box). Effectively you'd have to implement a complex mechanism or resource sharing and a way to manage it. Such a thing already exists: it is called a hypervisor.
jdan··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (March 2018)
That is an excellent job description page. I'm not interested in applying, but I'd love to steal^H^H^H^H^Hcopy the page for the next time I'm hiring someone!
jdan··on Ask HN: What's the story behind Bruce Schneier and squids?
One theory is that it is his way of signaling. (source: https://www.quora.com/Whats-with-Bruce-Schneier-and-squids)

My guess is that he just likes squids, and it is sometimes it is important to step back and do something that isn't super-serious once in a while.
