Tell HN: From bartending to managing cloud infrastructurehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34460997Someone on HN once recommended I share this story, and I've been seeing a lot of "how do I get into tech in my 30s" and "can I switch careers" posts, so I figured I'd post.----I'm 37. I spent my twenties bouncing all over the place; did a stint in the Army Reserves while shooting for liutenant bars that didn't work out (failed out of college and I was in ROTC). Did construction, real estate, grew weed in Denver for a year (legally), ended up bartending for roughly a decade. It was great in my early 20s. Not so hot to watch my age group get raises and salary increases.I have my GED and never finished college - left with a record-setting 1.2 GPA (I have severe ADD and I wasn't properly medicated, there were other problems too). Seemed like there was this universe of 'good jobs' that were simply not in the cards.So there I am, in my early 30s, struggling to make NY rent and watching folks get promoted and getting married and buying houses and all that stuff. I was lucky enough to have fri

Ask HN: Anyone else find Bluetooth to be frustrating?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31441331I'm a relatively late adopter of Bluetooth, having mainly used cables up until recently. I own a pair of cheapish Anker earbuds and now Audio Technica headphones.I find Bluetooth to be a frustrating experience. Almost every day I encounter issues when I'm trying to pair say, my headphones, with my MacBook. I hold the power button the headphones to turn them on or they're already on standby. I do a few clicks to pair them on my MacBook. macOS says it's paired but I didn't hear the pairing sound. So I try clicking again to unpair. No unpair sound. I toggle Bluetooth off and on and try pairing again. No dice. I power cycle the headphones and they pair with my phone instead. I hold the up and down volume buttons to force them into pairing mode again...Not to mention that Spotify randomly decides to switch devices sometimes and refuses to switch back unless I kill the app. Or it says my headphones are paired even though Android does not.On the London Underground, my music often goes crackly

Show HN: Programmatic – a REPL for creating labeled datahttps://programmatic.humanloop.comHey HN, I’m Jordan cofounder of Humanloop (YC S20) and I’m excited to show you Programmatic — an annotation tool for building large labeled datasets for NLP without manual annotation.Programmatic is like a REPL for data annotation. You: 1. Write simple rules/functions that can approximately label the data 2. Get near-instant feedback across your entire corpus 3. Iterate and improve your rules Finally, it uses a Bayesian label model [1] to convert these noisy annotations into a single, large, clean dataset, which you can then use for training machine learning models. You can programmatically label millions of datapoints in the time taken to hand-label hundreds.What we do differently from weak supervision packages like Snorkel/skweak[1] is to focus on UI to give near-instantaneous feedback. We love these packages but when we tried to iterate on labeling functions we had to write a ton of boilerplate code and wrestle with pandas to understand what was going on.

Show HN: A work in progress large table virtualization componenthttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29009682Hello Humans and Huwomans of HNMain demo link-----------------https://i5ik.github.io/_____/infinite/Background-------------I'm creating this large table virtualization component. It's not easy.The challenge is motivated by creating a basic spreadsheet component, as part of running the 7GUIs 'UI benchmark' against my fledgling web component framework, and discovering I really liked the idea of having a reusable spreadsheet / grid data component.I went looking and saw some, but it looked like a good challenge and I wanted one with the following qualities (which I didn't see anywhere else):1. uses semantic HTML markup (so table, thead, tr, th, td, colgroup, col elements) not divs to build a table2. could handle JavaScript scripting of cells (rather than an Excel-like DSL)3. could drag resize columns and rows4. could handle very large data5. ideally, but not absolutely, uses web components, or vanilla JS instead of another framework6. provides effortless natural scrolling (not synthetic, a

Programmers: Is screen-time something you worry about?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26744123Hi, long time lurker, first time poster here. This is a topic that causes me anxiety sometimes: screen-time.I've been in the industry for 3-4 years now, and from my experience at least, the screen-time of a programmer/developer/engineer in industry is way more than what I was used to while studying computer science.It's 8 hours a day on weekdays, mostly just coding and reading. Then when I get home, there's loads of life-admin stuff I do on the computer: buying, planning, accounting, tracking things, etc. With my locality's COVID lockdown, friends now want to video call after work, and I feel myself drawn into screen-based hobbies, since they're so passive and easy (NetFlix, YouTube). These are very tempting ways to kill time after a day's work.I've considered the possibility that my screen time isn't as big an issue as I think, and that I'm just living in this awkward transition between generations: the last generation viewing screens as invasive sources of addiction, and the new gene

Ask HN: Review my idea - Hosting SEOhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3690713Background: This idea was borne out of an internal tool I created to figure out and validate SEO strategies for websites I own. I figure since it works for me, I could try and sell this to a different industry/niche - in this case 'hosting'. This tool currently does not have an UI - I run sql queries directly on the mysql server to get my information. I have created a mockup UI to show how I expect it to work.UI for explaining the app functionality - http://axemantech.com/HostingSEO/Pain point it solves: Currently there are many seo apps that show serp rankings, on page and off page seo stats but seting up the system is generally painful. I dislike having to add keywords for my website, add data for my competitors, etc. This generally happens because these SEO apps are generic.How to solve this: Since this app focuses on a specific niche, it will already be setup with all the potential keywords for the niche (and will continously add new ones). All the data that the customers (people p
