ninjaa··on The Python Paradox (2004)
UPDATE: I realize this is a repost from 2004. Still worth exorcizing dead links since content is still relevant

What's up with the Turkish and Japanese translation links not working?

Are they just dead cos they rotted? I've been working on my own multilingual site upgrade lol so my mind is on this

@PG to future proof consider using archive.org's wayback machine for essential links like translations, shld hopefully be straightforward to roll into your blog software

This is super awesome. A cloud cron builder and workflow builder is something the world really needs. If you add secrets and user accounts you're off to the races here.
ninjaa··on Why Is No One Asking SFB What Happened to the $3.3B He Borrowed?
SBF also donated an equal amount of money to Republicans. He just did so using dark money PACs because he was afraid of a PR backlash - said journos would freak the f out. He donated about $40 M to both parties.

ninjaa··on Ask HN: Recommendation for the mom of a near-college-aged “tech geared” student?
Reach out to our advisors at bestparents.com who can actually help you with this exact topic.

We have tons of short courses from great providers. My favorite is one which pairs teenagers like your daughter 1:1 with a postdoc at Cambridge University on a two week project e.g. creating an AI for categorizing blog posts. At the end of the two weeks your daughter gets a reference from that same postdoc on their enthusiasm, aptitude and preparedness for that technical subject. You find that if you and your daughter go through 2 or 3 such programs together the process of selecting among them and the references you get from academics give you a ton of context that genuinely prepares you both for the bewildering world of technical professional and academic careers.

Last year I remember in particular we helped one kid navigate the maze of "Computer Science vs Videogame Design vs Computer Art vs Chemical Engineering" this exact way. It was great to see his parents learn all about the nuances of the videogame business and careers in CS despite having a Chemical Engineering background.

Do consider reaching out and also checking out our social media where we talk about situations exactly like yours all the time.

Disclaimer: I'm a co-founder - my wife is the founder of that marketplace.

ninjaa··on Ask HN: I'm So Lonely
What worked for me was reducing my work hours and retreating into nature while strongly regulating diet and exercise and hygiene at the same time. The goal is to beat depression but the experience of it is very different from simply following steps. It's really about your attitude and feelings and willingness to change and believing a better place exists. Finding a hobby, alone or in a group, is also helpful when seeking serenity.

Once you beat depression, introversion and loneliness qualitatively feel very different. When you have depression you can even feel lonely in a crowd or even when you're with your best friends or family members. You just don't feel connected to anyone and human interactions become utilitarian instead of comforting and you want to scream inwardly even when they are outwardly "going well".

My $0.02 feel better hope you find some peeps to connect with and that you are ready to

ninjaa··on Is the madness ever going to end?
And then there's one sr front end dev who started doing $10 mn ARR with a web app and react-native apps for iOS and Android from a Next.js monorepo all by his lonesome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lnbdRweJtA&t=432s

I really think the React-Native and Next.JS (and tRPC and Prisma and GQL) have hit a PHP-style tipping point where we are going to see a great new flowering of cross platform web and mobile apps (last seen in the Facebook / Wikipedia era 2007-2014 era and driven by MySQL + PHP + jQuery + Phonegap). I feel excited, the hype is finally real.

So yeah sometimes that mixed abstractions complexity works against you, I feel like every decade or so it converges into a stack you can really use to effectively GTD.

ninjaa··on Ask HN: I've lost faith in myself as a developer, how do I get it back?
Being a great software developer is all about being comfortable with self-doubt.

If you're not for a prolonged period of time, it's likely burnout.
