I'm interested to know more about your skill set. If you don't mind.
scared2··on Elevator.js – A “back to top” button that behaves like a real elevator
So the modified algorithm will be as follows. When the user clicks elevator, it first sends a distributed query to all browsers and each browser replies with 0, if elevator is not being used, or 1 when it is used. After the polling is done, it sums all responses. If sum_resp_elev<8:move() else Ring_alarm()
scared2··on Elevator.js – A “back to top” button that behaves like a real elevator
Nice one. Something important missing in this framework is a logic to check the number of people in the elevator. You should use webRTC to count the number of users using the elevator. And if it is more than 8 it should sound alarm!

Worth noting

scared2··on Zoom to bring end-to-end encryption to all users, including non-paying
Zoom is fishy.

Some time ago I had to give lecture to a company who only has zoom as an option. I fired up a VM, installed zoom. Gave the lecture. Deleted the VM.

scared2··on Dexplot: Python library for data visualization
To be honest I thought the fig on the right was your proposal. You better improve the default. Plus when you compare the data should be the same.

Very nice drawings, what tool was used ?
scared2··on Pine64 launches the cheapest Linux Tablet ever priced at just $99.99
This might be a Linux tablet but definitely not cheapest tablet.
scared2··on Ask HN: Is Python losing its beauty?
I agree that you can write with just a subset of the language. But the problem arrises when you have to read somebody else's code.

If there are too many features as opposed to "one and only one way to do it" you will end up with a source code that is unintelligible between two developers.

Imagine it has M+N features that are mutually replaceable. The problem arises when you have a very good programmer that writes a complete program using the M features, and when you get programmer b who is also good but hasn't heard of the M features.

Why do you have to share the archive of an article that is just published
scared2··on Ask HN: Do I need a degree for a job as an ML engineer?
It depends on your experience. To be honest I don't think majority of ml engineers out there had a degree in ml engineering.

It is true that without degree for some sort of certificate it will not be easy to get your first job. But I guarantee that after your first job your life as ml engineer will be much easier.

You will need to show expertise about machine learning, big data tools like spark, databases, Linux and shell programming.

scared2··on Ask HN: Am I the longest-serving programmer – 57 years and counting?

scared2··on Jack Dorsey is giving Andrew Yang $5M to build the case for a basic income
I really don't understand the hype behind ubi as a new concept. If one wants to explore it's effect or anything like so - it is just enough to see Arab countries and other places who have been doing it already. Other than that it should be obvious to anyone that this is not scalable and it doesn't work. in the end basic income will translate into an artificially induced inflation.
scared2··on Ask HN: Dark mode for HN please?
It is also important to incorporate chatbots
scared2··on Facebook to Buy Giphy for $400M
How many gifs does it host and does it have rights to It??
scared2··on Facebook to Buy Giphy for $400M
Makes more sense. But it is easy to replace it with another giphy. Especially when there is privacy reason.
