Why the register?. +1 for demo without registration

> The change will affect corporations that want to take our code and use it to create and sell proprietary tools that directly compete with us.

I don't get why folks who are scared of competitors start with a permissive license in the first place. They could have easily foreseen this. Think about competition who have invested time and PRs back to this.

Curious, which city, country do you operate in.

It would be useful to know how the app does “contact tracing”. Also, how is workplace data managed..

Where’s the url.?

Nice, however the site is pretty slow to load for me

I use docopt for CLI programs.

https://github.com/docopt/docopt

It is a simple DSL with implementations available in multiple languages. I've used it in python, GoLang and in Java too. Lots of examples too.

Not a bad way to start your day :)

My specific use case is to use it with an apple pencil. For example: I like using Google Jamboard's free form editing with an apple pencil.

> We found in our experience, most software developers either don’t have a tablet, or don’t use it regularly

It might be the case today, however if you were to merely plot the Monthly growth for the #users using pencil in 2020. It might show an increased adoption. This is my anecdotal guess, but I suppose you might have to substantiate this if you don't think free form drawing is not compelling

'HN is and has been passively aggressive towards Indians, I think anyone who browses this forum for a month would know that, it's hardly news.'. --- This is a generalization unsubstantiated with no data or references. I find no evidence of this

Very nice!. Do you have support for free form so I could use a stylus or apple pencil?

+1 on citing reasonable references. I think articles, posts and even daily news briefings should explicitly cite referenced articles, sources or briefings. Of course, there are cases where news papers may not want to disclose their source. It should be marked accordingly.

Please do share your post. Any experience good or bad is welcome.

I think your question is I want to understand the math behind all of this: I would start by doing Andrew Ng's courses on ml and DL at Coursera

Math is wide for AI and moves into multiple disciplines such as calculus, linear algebra.

Once you have done the above courses you can dive accordingly http://sgsa.berkeley.edu/current_students/books/

Ah, I remember this. This is friendly UI

I hope they provide a root cause analysis

It is never too old to transition and 36 is not old. Have a growth mindset. Don't listen to anyone who says it is too old to switch. You have one life to live, do what makes you happy.

Here is one advice, check that you want to move to AI/ML for the right reasons, not because it is the next cool thing.

One strategy: Take some of the courses in ML, for example Andrew Ng's course on ML and Deep learning. If you enjoy the course, next find a real project to do and see if you truly enjoy it. If you do enjoy it then switch, otherwise Java programming is always there. I have found real ML is a lot different from Andrew Ng's course for example, pretty much like doing algorithms in class is different from real world programming.

~ 2+ months

I wonder if the going to a cooperative model is the way to go. It might resemble the taxi companies in some ways

I am trying to organize my friends within a private slack. It has been With mixed success. I end up being in multiple slack orgs.

Yes.

You need to distinguish between burnout and working at a dead end job (Sorry to say FAANG are dead ends)

Take three months off, companies allow this. Once your burnout is reversed after a month in, you will get your answer

First, kudos for Having a growth mindset.

Some thoughts Taken with grain of salt

- before quitting try to figure a few positions that you want to head to after your masters and study. Is it ML scientist, Data scientist, ML engineer, Data engineer, PhD in ml etc., use that to figure out your plan. This will help if you want to add more time to learn algorithms and programming too.

- what are your strategies to get a Ml job Or higher studies once masters is complete

- tradeoffs — a part time masters gives you the flexibility to see if you truly enjoy, switching to fulltime has the advantage of compressing time to speed up your learning

- if you can intern in a ml position while doing masters nothing like it. Network as much as possible, on campus,instructors, alumni etc

It is all about trade offs, there is no perfect solution.

Here are a few things that I have learned:

# Requirements - List out clear requirements, get an agreement with your co-decision makers, and the necessary people. Make sure you address for at least 2-3 yrs of requirements. It is likely, that new requirements would pop up and your system should be adaptive to this - if you think that your system is not going to address a specific thing, think twice, you may get buy-off & assurance from product, directors. However be prepared mentally that six months down the line, this will change.

# My Dos and Don't (always subject to change :))

- Do keep things simple

- Don't make a career out of a single project.

- Do list tradeoffs in your design

- Do document and perform deep dives.

- Don't ship prototypes.

- Don't be afraid to get critical feedback. If someone gives critical feedback, spend a few days to clearly understand the feedback

- Don't be defensive

- Don't be attached to what you build, it does not represent you.

- Do use new tech in baby steps

- Do experiment - The more you experiment, the more you learn, the more you will fail. Is this something that you have the mindset for? You can also ask how much do you have the time/energy for?

Are there any resources on how to find non-profits that are looking for tech help?

Alternate sitting and standing. The key is to move and not stick to one posture. I keep a bottle of water handy. If you drink water regularly it forces you to take bathroom breaks, forcing you to move.

Try to distribute your weight evenly to both legs. Don't lean on one leg too much. Try to engage core muscles.

Stand on a mat that has some cushioning.

This is subjective. Eye direction looking straight matches top of the monitor.

Looking at the source: Appget is licensed under Apache-2.0 https://github.com/appget/appget/blob/master/LICENSE

I wonder if things would have been different, if the product was licensed under Gplv3. If so, he could demand to check if Microsoft violated the license https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-violation.en.html (to check if this is a completely new rewrite for example).

Update: Ah looks like Winget was sourced in C++, and Appget is in C#

I use google sheets. I find it more easy that using complex todo lists.

In my opinion, a hierarchical organization is the cause. In an organization, which have heavy middle and top management, is excess fat. You are paying them a lot more to "manage" the employees. This gives a lot more power to C-level executives.

It surprises me, why companies would deviate to organizing themselves as a hierarchy.

Here are some of my experiences

- Working from home (as a Software Engineer) as a remote seems open to me. I seem to be a lot more productive. I might consider moving to a rural place. - I have had more interactions with friends and family by having video conferencing beers and dinners. - I spend at least an hour a day doing a workout or yoga on day on YouTube. I spent that time in commuting to/back from work. - I am excited that I can attend conferences remotely. - I enjoy the fresher air️

Things that I miss - I miss sitting in a coffee shop. - I enjoy traveling and staying at AirBNBs. That is not going to happen for sometime. - Hiking trails are either closed or overcrowded.
