Ask HN: I’m 41 and still unmarried – what should I do?**
Since I was a little girl, I’ve dreamed of falling in love and having a family of my own.
By most cultural standards, according to my male friends, I’m smart, beautiful, fit, kind, emotionally mature and doing meaningful work in the world. Not too needy and not a workaholic.
Over the last two years I’ve been on over 120 dates with men I’ve met online - a few I met in person - in 3 different cities .
I’ve deeply invested myself in therapy, support groups, meditation ... ⌘ Read more
Tell HN: Triplebyte is, yet again, making user profiles public without consent
Triplebyte (YC S15) is a tech recruiting company that operates by getting developers to take skill tests, and then using the results to match them with employers. Back in 2020, they got in a lot of hot water by suddenly announcing that user profiles -- which had been collected with assurances that the data wouldn't be shared without consent -- would be made public, unless you opted out within a week[1]. This provoked a lot of backlash, especial ... ⌘ Read more
Tell HN: Banned from LinkedIn for Reporting Wickr Drug Spam
It made the news recently that Wickr (Amazon owned E2EE chat app) is full of illegal imagery.
I read about this on my LinkedIn feed then decided to search for "Wickr" there to see who else was talking about this. The search returned dozens of spam messages offering drugs in Asia and the US with information to contact on Wickr for price.
I reported these drug spam posts to LinkedIn - which is supposedly an anonymous report.
Next day I got a flood of reports on ... ⌘ Read more

Show HN: A friend and I spent 6 years making a simulation game, finally released
I've seen some interests in (simulation) video games here on HN so I thought I'd share a short version of our story.
More than 6 years ago, me and my friend from university were playing around with an idea of making a game we always wanted to play. We worked on it on weekends but the progress was quite slow, especially due to so many dead ends and wasted effort.
Eventually however, we solidified our direction and decided to take the risk to ... ⌘ Read more
Ask HN: Burnt-out, directionless but want to turn it around
I've been programming on and off since the age of 16. Unfortunately, I have never been a rockstar programmer. I've always pieced code together from multiple sources to create programs but I've always failed to come up with a solution from scratch of my own and provide any value. I've always wondered how other smart people are able to come up with libraries, services and various solutions from scratch. I've devised countless ideas only to never execute them for va ... ⌘ Read more
Ask HN: What game do you wish existed?**
I have usually kept a short list of games that would be fun if they existed. Long ago one my bullets in the list was a procedurally generated planet-sized planet with a full diaspora to explore. No Man's Sky fulfilled that for me.
What are some games that you wish existed?

No Dislikes has officially ruined YouTube for me
Spoiler: rant.
I don't know what happened exactly but I'm pretty sure it's the lack of dislike stats, that now my suggestions and home page of youtube is filled, and I mean FILLEDDD!, with videos that have 4k stock clips, catchy title, but completely lacking in content. Misleading 100%. Not 1, not 2, but like 8/10 videos are now garbage stock footage with bs commentary over nothing.
Example:
Nasa just discovered truth about solar system!?!?!?!

Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2022)
Please state the location and include REMOTE, INTERNS and/or VISA
when that sort of candidate is welcome. When remote work is _not_ an option,
include ONSITE.

recruiting firms or job boards. Only one post per company. If it isn't a household name,
please explain what your company does.
Commenters: please don't reply to job posts to complain about
something. It's off topic here.
Readers: please only email if you are pe ... ⌘ Read more
