I'm talking about ugly/good-looking, fat/fit, skinny/strong, tall/short... etc. Do you think physical appearance plays an important role to define hierarchies inside organizations and can decide who has the upper hand in debates?

Ask HN: Strategies to land remote US job while living in living in EU
11 by committed | 7 comments on Hacker News.
Hello, I am experienced software developer working on enterprise software in eastern Europe country. With rising inflation and stagnant local salaries it's getting harder to afford a decent standard of living. I am looking at these jaw dropping US salaries, even 60k/yr would put me among top 3% earners in my county. Browsing US job boards I find many remote contract based and salaried positions but they are all looking for US based employees. Are there any fellow Europe based software engineers who work remotely for US companies and could share advice about landing such jobs?

I'm in this line of work for almost 17 years now and having yet one more of these days where I'm measuring how much time I am in my current company to see if I'm ok to start looking. And I remember that every single time I wanted to run away from a role/company/project the main reason was always the other people in and around it. Personality incompatibilities, to put it gently. Ar$eholes to put it right. That kind of stuff dissolves teams, burns people out, drives people out, wrecks projects and companies. I'm curious. What's your view on this? If my view is valid then it seems to me that we have been discussing technology (e.g. which prog language is better for a domain) only because we cannot address the elephant in the room - aka peopleware. And if that's so then in large part a lot of what we do is effectively losing battles. Thanks

Show HN: Lota – An online ePub reader with VS Code style
7 by pacexy | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Previously when I wanted to learn languages by reading the original, I started looking for an EPUB reader. I wanted it to be 1. browser-based, so I could use my browser extensions 2. cross-platform, so I could read on different devices 3. able to read multiple books at the same time, so I don't have to open multiple windows Unfortunately, I didn't find it. As a developer, I really like the flexible layout and power of VS Code, so I tried to combine its design concept with EPUB reader, and Lota was born.

Show HN: Extremely low cost backup to S3 Glacier Deep Archive
51 by mrich | 28 comments on Hacker News.
Hi, most people (hopefully) have local backups. However, when that backup fails, it is good to have a backup stored somewhere off-site. In the old days you would ship physical drives/tapes, which is cumbersome, costly, and slow. With fast upload speeds, it is now possible to upload your data to the cloud. I have found S3 Glacier Deep Archive to be a great solution for this: - It is very cheap ($1/TB/month for US region) - Very reliable (99.999999999% data durability, data spread over 3 Availability Zones) However, usability out of the box is not that great, I'm not aware of any automated backup solution for Deep Archive. This free project provides that. Currently, ZFS is required, but that might change. Please try it out and provide feedback!
