I just use an app. Not sure why a human-powered solution would be better.

Just fyi your links are bringing up what looks to be an app server runtime error.

Of all companies, I never expected Microsoft to be remote friendly. Nice.
canadiancreed··on It's time to worry about the housing market again
It's definitely still going in Toronto. I'm seeing condos that are selling for 50-100k more then they did a year ago, and anything in the downtown core or near a subway line seems to gain value like clockwork.
canadiancreed··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2018)
Applied and had a lovely chat with Ev Kontsevoy. Was told I'd hear back from their CTO, even was cc'ed on an intro email.....and that was it. Kind of disappointed to be ghosted like that, as the stack looked to be something I'd like to work with.
canadiancreed··on Ask HN: What are you working on this month? (September 2018)
Myself I'm working on a random family tree generator for a DND game that a friend of mine is running, and then moving to an ETL/website using Spring that I've been doing off and on for a few months.

TN Visa stuff is one guess? Unless your'e in Mexico then...no idea.
canadiancreed··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2018)
No chance on this being open to remote applicants at all? Because this looks exactly like what I'm after right now.
canadiancreed··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2018)
Worked with these guys a few years ago, would recommend anyone that's looking for a quality project to be a part of to apply.

Have dealt with the folks from CHOP a few years back when I was doing healthcare software development and for anyone looking for interesting projects that will help people, and an easy commute (at least it was from KOP), I'd recommend giving CHOP a look see.

canadiancreed··on Ask HN: 2018 resolutions?
Oh no I totally agree with you that you are right it's not normal at all. For myself lowering my sugar levels (my diet consisted of high amounts of sugars and salts....a great combo I know), more psychial activity, and lowering caffeine levels resolved the issue. This was after doing a few checkups including dealing with a urologist (not pleseant at all, but better safe then sorry)

So ya in a nutshell, if this is happening to you, dont' ignore it. Because your'e right, it's not normal.

canadiancreed··on Ask HN: Is there room for a non-profit computer science degree provider?
Personally I'd be ecstatic if they could do a remote CS degree, non-profit or no.
canadiancreed··on Ask HN: 2018 resolutions?
Ran into something like this with caffeine. I used to drink four to six pops a day. You wouldn't think it'd be a big deal, but cutting that out for a month took me from being tired all the time and getting up twice a night to take a piss, to sleeping through the night and actually feeling decent in the morning.

While I'm sure doing the same with alcohol would be different and potentially deadly (so I've read anyways), it couldn't hurt to cut it back or out completely. Livers definitely like it according to my doctor.

canadiancreed··on Ask HN: 2018 resolutions?
Work on my health, release an application, hopefully have some stability life and employment wise, maybe do some talks at a conference or two. Hell maybe release a book.

Depending on how all that goes, maybe i'll go back to school. Maybe I'll see the world. Hell maybe I'll get married. Stranger things have happened.

canadiancreed··on Ask HN: What did you work on in 2017?
Awesome to hear. Mental health is something that is overlooked by a lot of people in this industry until it's too late. Ran into that a few years back and like yourself, have been working to make it better.
canadiancreed··on Ask HN: What did you work on in 2017?
Working for six months on a project that initially sounded awesome, but the combination of the slowness of client feedback (it would take weeks to get signoff on features that would have been days for other projects), and conflicts with the architect (I asked questions regarding the project, he'd complain to my manager that I was asking questions) had me moved onto a legacy maintenance project for three months, then laid off when the budget ran out. Add financial fun and being hospitalised for what turned out to be an uncontrolled blood pressure spike and ya, it was a fun time.

I'm now with another company managing various development teams to add continuous delivery to their projects. Combo of project management, business and system analysts, and a bit of coding and devops knowledge has been making this project challenging, but pretty cool to work on.

canadiancreed··on Ask HN: What did you work on in 2017?
Sounds like wonderful co-workers to have. Probably a matter of time before being stabbed in the back in such a work environment.
canadiancreed··on Ask HN: Fully online CS degrees?
Is this the one you're referring too?

canadiancreed··on Ask HN: Fully online CS degrees?
Had a look at the Harvard option and it looks like you need to attend some of the courses on site as part of earning the degree, so it's not 100% online if I read it correctly.

There's also been reports that Athabasca U is having funding issues at present, for those looking at this option (which is the only option in Canada for online in this field that I've found.)

canadiancreed··on Defect that causes Huntington's disease has been corrected for the first time
I wonder if this can be extended to other brain related illnesses such as Alzheimers.
canadiancreed··on Do You Really Need a Computer Science Degree in Today’s Market?
Depends on what you're trying to do. Myself I've been in the IT industry since 1999 and have been mostly successful with a High School diploma. If you don't plan to move outside your country, I've found you can make a career out of it.
