Ask HN: Do you have a process or a framework to learn specific skills quickly?
6 by hypnotist | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Any suggestions/ frameworks on how to learn specific skill, retain the knowledge and be able to share it(in for ex. written form) I usually jump in straight away and start learning "on the job" but I realised that I forget too much and i do not have any notes to refer to later on. Examples of specific skill: - How to write a good cold email - how to learn some snowboarding trick - how to store your bitcoin safely etc.

New top story on Hacker News: Why is YouTube adding “&pp=sAQA” to video URLs?

Why is YouTube adding “&pp=sAQA” to video URLs?
18 by pdkl95 | 8 comments on Hacker News.
YouTube started adding a new parameter "pp=sAQA" to video URLs on most index style pages (e.g. /feed/subscriptions, search results, the /videos page on any channel). The actual video pages (/watch) strip the pp= parameter, and it doesn't appear to be added to the URLs for the "recommended" videos. Does anybody know what this parameter does and/or why it was added? It's really annoying; using YouTube URLs in the shell now requires quoting due to the "&".

Ask HN: Webdev with poor/deteriorating vision. What can I pivot into?
6 by mouzogu | 4 comments on Hacker News.
Long story short, I have a corneal disease that cannot be fixed with glasses or surgery. I'm able to get about 20/35 to 20/40 vision depending on whether it's a good day or not with glasses. I can get 20/20 with rigid lenses but it's not very comfortable after 3-4 hours and I'm not able to look at anything dark or black in colour so it's not perfect (thanks all you apps without a light mode :( I've been working as a web dev for 15 years since graduation but I know my days I numbered in this field as it requires near perfect vision due to the UI nature and dealing with things on a pixel level. What kind of field could I leverage my experience and pivot into that does not require perfect vision? Thanks, for any advice.

36 by aristofun | 19 comments on Hacker News.
Is something wrong with me that recently I stopped being excited about tech, products, disruptive ideas, making world better etc. And just want to make money, as much as possible, don’t care how (as long as it’s legal). Is it a good start for starting new project in tech world? Because creating software products is the only thing i can do very well. But except few small exceptions all my life I’ve been working for companies, exchanging my time for money, building software. Anyone created profitable and lasting IT business being motivated only by money?

New top story on Hacker News: Launch HN: Onfolk (YC S21) – Modern HR and Payroll in One Place (For the UK)

Launch HN: Onfolk (YC S21) – Modern HR and Payroll in One Place (For the UK)
11 by 4thstreet | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Hey, we’re Naz and Charlie! We’re a couple of engineers who discovered that payroll in the UK is pretty backward and that building good software can raise the bar. We built [Onfolk]( https://onfolk.com/ ). You can check out some pics on our Product Hunt post [1] or see a quick vid [2]. To set the scene: we were software engineers at Monzo for 4 years. Joined at 400k customers, left at 5.5m. We took voluntary furlough in April 2020 ("furlough" is the UK government’s scheme for keeping workers paid for a bit so that companies don't have to lay them off). During that time, Monzo changed payroll provider. The old one sucked and had errors. The new one sucked and had errors. It took a consultant a year to implement the new one. We wondered how on earth a company with our funding, whose main asset was its people, couldn't find a good way to pay them. We dug into what doing payroll actually means (shout out to payroll guru Duane Jackson [3] for the early pointers!). Turns out, payroll is: (1) gross-to-net calculations, (2) reporting that to the government, and (3) making payslips. It’s not conceptually hard but you have to be meticulous. Complicated, not complex. Some of the payroll products in the UK have 0 automated tests in their software. A typical process is run on spreadsheets pulled out of HR softwares or emails to accountants. No validation, data keyed in on the other end. Payroll is unloved. There are a huge amount of edge cases. Tax systems aren't put in place all at once – they evolve over time. So when you're programming payroll you run into things like: gender is a mandatory field to report to the government and a binary male/female. Until April 1977 married women could choose to pay a reduced rate of national insurance (our word for "social security" in the UK). Anyone who opted into that scheme before 1977 might still be on it. Another one: Deep-sea fisherman have their own national insurance rates [4]. The government changes people's tax codes periodically, and sometimes the reasons why can seem quite baffling. It's not a very transparent system Turns out the competition is listed on the government's website [5]. There’s about 130 other payroll softwares. Desktop software still dominates the UK market ("butt" is a feature in payroll land). We discovered the certification process to get on the list, found the right person in the government to email when we had questions, and kinda just started building. We trundled on over our weekends until we got on the list (might still be under our old name, “Hyko”, at the time of writing. Hyko is a dog [6]). Then, a friend who’s payroll provider had just got their numbers wrong gave us a shot. I phoned up Charlie, who said “I guess I’d better put the kettle on”. We had less than 2 weeks to get it done and worked like maniacs over Christmas to arrive at something that looked like a payrun. The calculations were run from test files on our local machines, as was notifying the government via their XML API with it's random polling intervals. Payslips were cobbled together on Figma. It was artisanal. Since then, here’s a few ways we’ve tried our best to raise the bar on the software side: Thorough automated unit tests on our calculation logic; integration tests for playing through multiple months of salaries (especially important as tax calculations in the UK care about the cumulative amount paid over a year vs. only concerning the current month); whenever anything changes, we recreate payments for the current month on the fly. So that the user always has a live view of what payroll will be (vs. finding out on the day); Reconciliation logic. So that if things that should add up don't add up, we error loudly way before payday. This reduces the chances that we'll ever run payroll with incorrect numbers (techniques learnt while interacting with banking ledgers); Wrote in a language with a strong compiler (Go); Generally validate the shit out of everything. Since Christmas, the product has expanded from payroll into one tool for everything that touches employee data. We think that a ton of the manual admin work in UK companies results from no 'single source of truth' for employee data (often spread across Xero, accountants, spreadsheets, time-tracking software, Google Drive). The same data is duplicated in multiple tools, which means it has to be synced, which means spreadsheet exports and manual process. e.g. when an employee leaves, you usually want their remaining time-off allowance to be automatically added to their final salary, reported to the government as such, and to have them removed from payroll, time-off rotas etc. Typically, that means a bunch of faffy jobs where people get paid wrong if you mess up. We’ve tried to kick off everything that needs to be done from key actions (new joiner, leaver, salary update, payrun). When a payrun is started, from our backend: the UK government is notified, payslips are created, journals are posted to accounting software, pension contributions are posted, and payments are scheduled. As an employee you don’t have to log in to “myEPayslipPortal” to get your payslip. It’s there alongside your time-off and personal info. Currently we charge £8 / employee / month and have a bunch of startups on board. This autumn we’ll be working on exposing our backend as a UK payroll API. So that anyone can have payroll in their product without having to care about unintuitive tax calculations and keeping up with changes in regulations. I’d be interested if our findings ring true with anyone's payroll experiences. Any ideas for applications for a payroll API? Or interesting implications come to mind with having a source of truth for all your employee data? Thanks all!! [1] https://ift.tt/3vP9Urd [2] https://ift.tt/3ehSxJI [3] https://ift.tt/3AU282W...
