Brexit's future unclear following Theresa May's resignation: What happens now
Theresa May announced Friday that she will step down as U.K. Conservative Party leader in the coming weeks but will stay on as caretaker prime minister until a new leader is chosen. What does this mean for Brexit?
Service dog goes nuts for Chewbacca at Disney World
A service-dog-in-training got to meet her hero during a trip to Disney World. Of course, being a dog, her hero is one of the hairiest characters in the park.
Ask HN: Coping when your client is an asshole?
12 by codinginhell | 2 comments on Hacker News. I'm a project manager for a ~60 person software dev firm. One project I'm on is with a large American enterprise, and the product owner and his direct manager are absolute assholes. I've got 8 developers that I try to shield from accusatory questions and extremely aggressive and borderline abusive behaviour. In the beginning we we all agreed not to take anything personally and to let it just roll off the back. We agreed to tighten up our processes and try to avoid confrontations by being super proactive with all our work, but we're coming close to the launch date, and it's getting worse as more pressure mounts. Ordinarily, we would have dropped the client by now and refused to put up with the end-justifies-the-means tactics, but unfortunately our company could not survive without this and a handful of other projects we have with this client. My company is actively looking for new clients so we are not beholden to this one, and my manager is apologetic and tries to run interference when she can, but I'm largely left to my own devices. This is a very high profile project that stands to disrupt its market. It's exciting for them and us. I have to maintain this relationship somehow. How do you manage your clients who are completely unreasonable, rude, and treat you and your staff extremely poorly?
Ask HN: List of tools (GUI, natural language) that generate code
2 by ripvanwinkle | 0 comments on Hacker News. I am specifically thinking of programming tools that allow kids (or even adults) to string together blocks in a GUI or some natural language way that can then be used to emit JavaScript, Python etc. I thought I'd seen a mention on HN but I can't find it and maybe I am using the wrong term to look for it
Ask HN: Wouldn't it make sense to calculate karma on comments, not submissions?
4 by Ultramanoid | 11 comments on Hacker News. It seems irrelevant and unrelated to a specific user that an article that is picked at random and heavily discussed gives the submitter a large number of karma points while the submitters not 'chosen' but who have contributed in equal measure ( and often earlier than the one upvoted ) receive nothing. One would think, this being a community, upvoted comments would be a much more useful measure for karma, possibly the only one needed ?
Ask HN: Memory and CPU Use: Headless Chrome(driver) vs. Regular Chrome?
3 by 55555 | 0 comments on Hacker News. I have seen a dozen comparisons between the various headless browsers, but for the life of me I can't find a single one showing just how much better headless Chrome is than regular Chrome. Has anyone tested this? I'll take you at your word.
Ask HN: Should I quit my job?
144 by manceraio | 104 comments on Hacker News. I'm working for a German automobile corporate in Spain as a project leader. I'm 29, I've studied electronic engineering, I don't have kids, and I'm not married. What I do at my current job all day is emails, spreadsheets, power points, and some electronic testing. I've been working there for already five years, and I've been climbing the ladder as much as I managed. I also work on the afternoons on a side project that is making close to $100/m However, my day job is draining all my energy in a way that I am grumpy from Sunday night to Saturday morning. I wake up at 6:20, commute 45 minutes, work 8h, commute 45 minutes, arrive home at 18:00 and then I try to squeeze time for my side project, going to the gym, making groceries, hang out with my gf, etc. I probably push around 10h/week to the project. The worst part of it is getting home exhausted in a way that it's impossible for me to do any work done. It makes me feel miserable, depressed, and tied. I could create more value just by myself. During my office hours, my energy levels are, and the atmosphere at work is pleasant. Also, my salary is above the Spanish average, but nothing special, my uni friends are also making similar numbers. My gut is telling me to quit my job and work for my products. I have enough savings to survive for five years. I don't think about going nomad or any of these hippie trends. I'm focused on building a business and feel accomplished by something I've done with my hands. My biggest fears are: - To not stick to a schedule/routine once I am solo. - People's and family opinion. - Failing and losing motivation. Should I quit my job and work on my stuff or search for another position that would give more motivation?
