yayajacky··on Amazon’s new Kindle Paperwhite
Would this one support using Bluetooth audio control to turn pages?

For ePub file:

Rename extension as txt, then use the send to kindle tool.

I have used it a couple of times (50MB limit though)

yayajacky··on “Let’s use Kubernetes.” Now you have eight problems
Great tools make hard problems approachable. They also reduce impossible problems to hard ones.

But, it takes experience (having solved things with easy and hard ways) to prefer easy problems and easy solutions.

It's a good time to be a consultant where you get to solve the same problems using different approaches.

yayajacky··on New Features in Java 14
You hit it right on the nail. I love how the null type being defined away from function signature in TS. It's not entirely bug free but it gets pretty far!
yayajacky··on How to support new/learning devs in developing countries?
This is actually a good use case for transferring USDT (tether token that represents US dollars) to him, but without a 3rd party doing the verification, you run the risk of getting scammed.

If he is gaining traction, other can clone the repo and create the same story.

yayajacky··on Node and CSV in 2 Minutes
Sorry in case anyone got paywalled, here's the repo containing the same information:

yayajacky··on In 2019, Americans went more to the library than to the movies on average
It’s a nice place to do remote work on
yayajacky··on Fortran.io – a Fortran Web Framework
New York server serving static files? Gotta put that static site on cdn!
yayajacky··on A GitHub repo of jobs listings with bounties
If the keyword column is a json blob, you might be able to do it with JSON_CONTAINS:

(Unless you are using mongo on the backend, in which case I am not familiar with that)

yayajacky··on The military is building long-range facial recognition that works in the dark
More kill-loops automation? Hope it doesn't kill any QA testers or have datetime bugs.

Reminds me of Captain America: Winter soldier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ru5wM7fl7g

yayajacky··on Physician burnout widespread, especially among those midcareer, report says
Right, do you guys know if there is a bird's eye view platform on the net that talks about which region in US is under staffed in terms of physicians? People may be migrating to the cities for jobs and end up in under staffed areas. That could be good information for migrants.

(I am not from Beijing, but something like this: https://www.pri.org/stories/2016-04-11/want-see-doctor-china... and https://www.registerednursing.org/specialty/flight-nurse/)

yayajacky··on Physician burnout widespread, especially among those midcareer, report says
I am also from the field (POLST management for hospitals). Do you think it would be useful to sort the type of medical procedures by difficulty to make that more known to the market?
yayajacky··on A GitHub repo of jobs listings with bounties
Thanks for replying, I saw the remote folder, that’s a good direction, I just don’t know if with github I can watch that single folder for communication.

yayajacky··on Physician burnout widespread, especially among those midcareer, report says
Does this indicate that more physicians are needed in the market, or that current system/workflow is unsustainable?
yayajacky··on CollegeHumor shuts down
Wonderful experiences still exist (for many transformative), they just have less reach than corporate cash cows unfortunately
yayajacky··on A GitHub repo of jobs listings with bounties
I think remote contract only repo (in a separate repo) would be great! Thanks for putting in the work, literally
yayajacky··on Programmers Should Plan for Lower Pay?
Whenever anything gets streamlined in our industry (better work process/compiler/editor/language), successful company instead of letting go skilled workers end up branching out into more products and regions.

Inventing new industries gets so crazy, we end up leaving things in legacy repos for decades. A complete normalization/standardization for the entire engineering spaces would be both wasteful and unnecessary (what, requiring everyone to know all of the industries and languages before they can get hired?)

Even if you get to the point of AI programmers who can replace people, you may run into a incentive problem because AI would have no use of money.

yayajacky··on Show HN: I built a Job board for work-at-home / remote careers
Hi, I am mostly remote (1 out of 3 clients is onsite). Are you looking for any help on running this site? I am interested in seeing this idea grow to contain more job listings.
