jaitaiwan··on I'm starting a social club to solve the male loneliness epidemic
In Queensland Australia there are men’s sheds which are great. The local pub. If you’re near a good church they often have lots of social stuff too, even basketball and soccer clubs.
jaitaiwan··on Red Hat Woos VMware Shops with OpenShift Virtualization Engine
OKR for the open source kubernetes, kubevirt for the virtualisation part.
jaitaiwan··on Oh Shit, Git?
I swear there used to be a choose your own adventure version of this where you could answer questions about what you did wrong and get a step-by-step "here's what to do" after.

Very cool, it was a shame one couldn’t full screen on an iPhone

This is already sort of happening with Bing
jaitaiwan··on The Unison language – a new approach to Distributed programming
They plan on making an open source host it yourself eventually.
jaitaiwan··on / vs. \ confuses me a lot, how do you remember them?
Forward slash unless windows is pretty much how I remember it. Character escapes are universally backslash.

If you're asking me how to remember the difference between them, I just imagine I'm the line, then the question is: does it look like I'm falling forward or backward.

I'm keen to see how he goes building the next engine.
jaitaiwan··on Show HN: uFuzzy.js – A tiny, efficient fuzzy search that doesn't suck
Out of curiosity, how does this compare with fuse.js?
jaitaiwan··on Ask HN: Depressed, need to leave web development, what can I do?
Seems like you’re experiencing burn-out and from what I’ve read and experienced, burn out is a function of emotional investment vs the emotional return.

So I see that you have two options both of which shouldn’t happen before first taking a small break: 1. Continue to work in the industry and reduce your emotional investment. Hint: great places for that are big corporates. 2. Continue to work while upskilling in another field or your current field depending on what you prefer.

Depression often comes with the temptation to catastrophise the situation, avoid that urge. Seek out others who can be objective and talk you through it, be prepared to hear their answers.

I started out front-end, did a lot of my own side projects to get backend stuff. PHP is pretty good despite the hate because not many people want to do it these days but a legit and easy way to get some backend experience.

jaitaiwan··on Teaching is a slow process of becoming everything you hate
This is probably counter, but why do a participation merit system when you could do a participation demerit system. Your grade can go no higher than a D without participation
jaitaiwan··on Ask HN: What tech job would let me get away with the least real work possible?
Have you asked the reddits for people on social security? There's probably a fair few people in there who know how to answer your question. That's not meant to be derrogatory, just honest. There are people whose entire careers are gaming systems like you're wanting to do.
jaitaiwan··on Show HN: Six Degrees of Wikipedia
That's a really cool concept. Write a medium article about it.
jaitaiwan··on Ask HN: Have you successfully moved away from Google search?
Initially I found DDG useless and I struggled to get the right query results. As time went on things got better so either I learned how to “duck” or it better learned about me
jaitaiwan··on [dead]
The engineer’s intention is pretty clear: 1. Get google to drop their illegal diversity quotas, 2. Make sure that the working environment is more suitable so that women want to work there. There’s nothing wrong with that at all...

We’ve already identified that some of the largest tech companies already have toxic cultures that are biased against women, why not like he said find other areas as well that are a barrier to entry and remove them too?

jaitaiwan··on What I Learned When Facebook Disabled My Account (2012)
Mastodon somewhat I guess
