hthtegr commented on Ask HN: If you could work remote where would you live? · Posted by u/sloaken
I've heard great things about Guadalajara, anyone in tech has experience to share?
I lived an hour away (as a foreigner). Absolutely loved it, and would still be there if I didn't have to return home for sick family.
My wife and I live in Mexico. She works remotely, I did that for 10+ years, now I'm building my thing and taking some occasional freelance projects.
I won't deny there are some horror stories coming from Mexico, but I'm a European and have been living here since 2009. I've never seen or experienced anything even remotely violent. I paid for a mordida once, that's it. I've lived in Mexico City, Estado de México, Veracruz, Cancún, and now near Querétaro. I've travelled to most states either for tourism or work. Although I'm from Spain I totally look like a gringo so I never pass unnoticed.
We live in a little village about 3 hours from Mexico City with almost no crime at all. We only lock our door when leaving town. We have 200Mbps fiber. We rent a 3bdr house with garden for about $500 USD. Life is really good for us.
My wife is Mexican and her mother passed away a couple of months ago so we're now planning to go back to Europe in 2-3 years once my gig starts generating some income. There is not much here for her and I'm a bit bored of Mexico. We also don't like how the political situation is changing with Amlo.
I'm from New Zealand and lived there for 4 years. Same experience. Never saw anything crazy, didn't even know anyone who had. I used to fly up to LA and SF often, and saw crazy shit up there often.
Mexico is safer than the US - some will find that unpaletable. Get over it.

As much as I do like KiCAD, and use it professionally, the UX at times is literally a comical design-by-committee dumpster fire.
I gave this a spin, and it's so refreshingly the opposite of that.
My main barrier to using it for my next project is this - am I going to get 100 hours into a project then hit a brick wall and have to port back over to KiCAD. If I had some confidence around this I think it'd give it a shot.
A gallery on the website of projects completed with it would probably do the trick.
Seriously pleased this project is a thing. In 2020 there isn't really an excuse to be using software with such a poor UI/UX as KiCAD
Sorry replying to my own comment here, but this needs to be said. THANK YOU KiCAD developers. Yes it has issues but I am very grateful, comments above aside.

The dev support is also bottom-of-the-barrel even if you’re a high-margin cloud customer. For a generous upper bound of what Nvidia considers “software support,” look at TensorRT, where a majority of the useful stuff has either been written by third parties or scoped out the hard way by people trying to use it. Nvidia isn’t really a software company, and their core product has a very narrow user interface. These factors hamper whatever you can get out of a Jepsen.
This is so frustrating to hear.
I have a bin full of ARM single board computers, and while the hardware on all of them is pretty much up to the task, the software support from all the vendors has been terrible. I'm in the process of switching to Nvidia hoping it would be the exception.
If anyone from Nvidia is reading this, please do everything you can to convince the bosses to allocate the resources required to support a linux machine properly. It takes much more than it seems.
These devices are designed to be in production for a long time, so heavy investments now on the software support are going to give value for a long time. Rather than dragging the feet and slowly getting it right over time and devaluing the product in the process.
Fingers crossed!!
Supply chains don't completely rewrite themselves overnight. Shutting down meat distribution doesn't help people eat. For the time frame of '2020', the meat industry is essential.
The supply chain goes like this... plants -> animal -> human consumption. Yes you can rewrite overnight to plants -> humans.
But on this topic I'm better off talking to the wall of bricks next to me than the HN audience
Meat, and therefore the meat industry, isn't essential. A well-planned vegan diet is perfectly healthy and nutritionally adequate for all ages, including children [0,1,2,3,4].

It's basically impossible to post anything of this sort on HN without being downvoted to oblivion.
The skeptical, critical thinking skills of the audience here don't come close to matching the general technical ability.
