dmonn··on I incorporated my startup in the US (as a European)
Yep, as the prior comment suggests, the business is legally sat in the US, even if no shareholders or employees are there. I'm the main shareholder and one of the employees (although hired through Deel, a third party service) – so I receive personal income for which I pay taxes in Europe, but that's got nothing to do where the business pays state or federal tax.

Might be different with a LLC, though. This is a C Corp.

dmonn··on I launched a paid community in one month
Very impressive. I think there's no better time than today to build niche interest groups like these – and it pays.

Starting my dev career, blogging was what ultimately led to my first high-profile internship, which opened so many doors down the line. Big fan!

We've landed in remote job aggregator hell where remote jobs are being aggregated from remote job aggregators.

Interesting to know! I switched to Open Sans 300 for now and looked at it from the phone, hope that makes it a little easier on the eyes!

Done!

I switched to Open Sans for now. It looked okay on my machine (also not really a web designer, forgive me!). I hope it's more readable now.

Holy crap. This must've come with a starter template. Gone now. Sorry!
dmonn··on Online courses vs. colleges for software engineering
This is true in theory, but I live in a city where tuition to a Top 15 college is $400 per semester, almost nothing.

Yet, people who need to cover their own living expenses have a far smaller success rate, need to drop out more often or need to pause studies to work.

Programs to cover these living expenses exist, but they are limited, and not everyone who is not eligible for these can easily cover all expenses.

dmonn··on Show HN: Curated Toolkit for Remote Work
Thanks so much! This is completely self-built. I use Tailwind for the frontend, makes this kind of design pretty easy.

No, it's just the style that's "in" right now. I believe this is from an illustration package somewhere.

Hi, I'll check out Krisp.ai and add it, not familiar with it. It's not a paid curation, by the way. That form is mostly for us and founders to see if we can do a sponsored post or newsletter sponsoring.

I could do a better job on showing differences for sure, especially in that category. In the end, they are all well working solutions, with two of them being free and handling organization differently, the go-to app on the market, and a enterprise solution. All have their own place in that crowded ecosystem.

Some of them have multi-categories, that's right. I believe the app you're talking about offers project management functionalities with freelancer hiring options, so it's part of both.

Let me know if you see an app that logically should not be in one of the categories. This is curated by hand, so errors may happen.

Thanks!
dmonn··on Talkshow – Team videos in non-real-time
It's not really the same thing, is it?

What's easier? Recording a video & drag-drop into the app that 100% of our team communication already relies on - or convince our PM to sign up our 30 people team for an app that does it out of the box.

Also, this function comes out of the box on Slack mobile.

So do Slack threads with videos in them.

Or a #standup channel where people send in videos, that's what we do.

dmonn··on Earnest Capital is live
The business loan is slowing down your business no matter what.

Earnest only takes their return once you're in the position to pay yourself a salary. If you reinvest everything in the business, they don't get anything.

dmonn··on Earnest Capital is live
Hey Tyler! I'm actually super interested in Earnest. One thing I was thinking is, the traditional VC model works in cycles - founders raise some money, build & sell, raise some more, build & sell - by the time they raised $100M hopefully they are at least close to profit.

How does that work with bootstrappers? Ideally they'd only have to raise money once (from you), but what happens after the $100k (example) run out and the business is only generating, let's say, $2k/month? Back to 9-to-5?

I am European and something that bothers me a lot are companies that are hiring remotely, but then ask me to relocate or are US-only. That's why I added a category on every RemoteML job post: Anywhere, Remote US and Remote near HQ

AFAIK there are unofficial C++ Torch Interfaces, but nothing official.
dmonn··on PyTorch vs. TensorFlow: 1 month summary
> A forward() function gets called when the Graph is run.

Yes, the idea behind it is the same. The difference: PyTorch has a forward() function in their module class which you have to override, while in TensorFlow you can specify that yourself.

> Based on some reviews, PyTorch also shows a better performance on a lot of models compared to TensorFlow.
