Cool, I didn't know it, although TBH it's quite more generic to what I did, so I think it's even a better tool.

In any case, it was fun to think about this problem and learn things about the limitations of some of the async frameworks.

hmmm, no. PMTiles are a on-disk format for storing data, in particular, raster or vectorial tiles. My tool is about rendering such tiles on the fly, in particular raster tiles. I chose a different on disk format to speed up the sync'ing between my rendering machine and the serving machine.

Yeah, when it said 'show distance' I thought it would offer me jobs nearby/remote, but instead it's talking about an algorithm distance which probably nobody outside that specific domain really cares about.

As for EV related jobs, what I have been doing is checking as many related conferences as I could find and EV related channels in YouTube and visit each one of the homepages for the companies. For conferences it can take up to 4h, but it's very quick (but tedious) to remove chaff that you're not interest into.

I'm haven't been lucky, not many are in France, very few are remote, but I have seen quite many in Germany, so maybe you're in better luck.

- People will keep asking for and making predictions for next years despite their track record of low accuracy.

the author seems not to have kids; 'When are we gonna be there?' should be the much terse 'Are we there yet?' :)

Thanks a lot for asking this. I have been thinking about a similar jump but never found much resources to do so (mostly checking the job boards of every related company I find in my news feed; not very optimal :). Now I have way more to peruse. I just hope I can find more Europe centric sites (so far much has been USA leaning).

I love the dichotomy 'working vs homeless'. It's a sad state of a country if being jobless implies homeless. Also, I don't think someone working for a SV company can't just move somewhere cheaper and reduce spending until the next gig.

By chance do you have or plan to have a RSS feed? One that is some 60 (!) posts long, so I can read everything you published in my RSS reader (I'm still using one!).

New comment by MarcosDione in "Ask HN: What projects are perfect for learning a new language?"

MarcosDione — Sun, 19 Jun 2016 11:15:50 +0000

Any project that you want to do right now and that you think the language can handle properly. The most important part is motivation, and a project-at-the-gates is one of the best drivers. This not only works for languages, but also frameworks and tools.

Why nos havig a local cache like wwwoffle (someone has to reimplement such a thing) or squid? that way you won't need a connection just to browse a bunch of (mostly static?) html pages... just sayin'.
