Surprisingly, what really helped me become more productive and able to focus... is a pair of headsets with noise cancelling and music.

It really sets my mood to "work".

Great quality post. I'd like to see more things like this on HN. Interesting and I learnt a lot about emojis and UTF.

I've been drinking a large cup when I wake up and another cup at 3pm for 6 years straight. I fear it's already too late for me.

Tell that to the dinosaurs.

Great app for markdown-style notes. I use it to write my notes for a Jekyll blog.

> Sure, cheers were great at that time because it meant that thousands of young men would not be gunned down on Japanese beaches while trying to land there.

Let's not forget the fact that the thousands of people that were wiped out in an instant were not males of military age. They were civils, women and children alike.

> And if you need to print photos, order them online from a professional photo printing service.

If you're in the need (like me right now) to print +300 photos in several formats, even shopping at best prices around me, that's something like 150€ for them. For that kind of price I could get a nice home printer, supplies, and afterwards just keep the printer for the future.

I'm using both study-guides for 1Z0-815 & 1Z0-816, and I've found one course on Udemy for the new 1Z0-819.

Is there someone who's studying for it and/or knows better resources to get ready for the exam?

DDG. Come looking for anonymity, stay for the bangs.

Depending where you're based this isn't true. At my country in Europe I could earn 1000€ / month cleaning offices and common Programmer salaries' are 1200 - 1500€ / month

welcome to the workforce! Where you receive money for doing a task you don't care to do.

aaaaaaaaaand we went full on China.

Same for me. Privacy is why I came, bangs are the reason I stay.

Yes, personally I'd go live to China for a while before than to the US.

All isn't as white and black as "we have ideals and they're the baddies". The US has a lot of negative things too like x40 guns per citizen [0] or a prohibitively expensive healthcare [1]

I'd also like to learn Mandarin, but that's on me.

Care to share why? I'd like to help, but the trouble is how am I sure that the money goes to the pockets of people who need it and not to some CEO's holiday?

I'd like to see your sources on that.

I'm trying to scan the whole Android Store.

wow, really nice IMO. I'd be interested in seeing the spider and crawlers to do this, as it's something similar to other project I want to do.

I just started Permanent Record, by Edward Snowden. I thought it was going to be more tech-heavy, but, at least the start, seems to be more on the memoirs side.

I use a markdown blog with Github Pages. This way I have my notes online and can access them every time I need them.

I came here with the hopes of finding something similar to GCP. Thank you!

Isn't this wrong? At Google's Storage options, it says Google doesn't have Backup or Disaster Recovery options.

As long as I know, aren't those types into Cloud Storage - nearline and coldline object storage types?

> [...] far outweighs any paltry notion that could be provided in recompense for you dutifully enshrining a guest bedroom as your employment zone.

Yeah. Not all of us live in houses with guest bedrooms. Some of us, like me, live in a 40m flat with 1 bedroom and a living room / kitchen where there's no space for an office. I'm lucky I don't have / live with kids or otherwise it would be near impossible for me to WFH

Thanks for sharing you experience. At the end I think I'll just stick to learning Angular.

I like where I live currently but probably I'd move from the city to a town nearby.

I don't have many reasons to live in the city but because it's really comfortable as I don't have the need to commute. If I could work always (or 3-4 days / week) from home I'd move to a town. More peace and a better house, instead of a flat, for the same price at the city.

I'd like for this to be the truth, but I fear with the power a company like Facebook has that they may start the trend and other companies will follow them soon.

I tried upwork 4 different times with no luck. It doesn't matter how low I offered my job for or how many offers I sent. It's almost impossible to get started there as a developer.

Working on my blog (https://mariocod.es) and learning for a Google certification.

Also looking for a side project.

Would you recommend Vaadin? I've never heard of it but looks really interesting. What are the advantages vs let's say springboot + angular?

Definitely not Tesla nor any private company
