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.

24 by pdkl95 | 9 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 "&".

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.

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?

6 by uVacCXNiiJCTnYB | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I was reading this [Joel on software essay](https://ift.tt/2VFhWGB) about employment contracts and side prrojects after it was mentioned in another post here. It's been frustrating me for a long time that most companies when hiring are looking for people who do lots of side projects and open source work, yet when you are actually employed, you will usually have a contract forbidding you from having side activities, or potentially trying to grab copyright forr what you do on the side. Most companies also don't let their employees open source their code written at work too. I get that there is a sort of common understanding between employers and employees that lets people have small side projects, but I've never liked the fact that on paper companies can easily claim ownership of them if they become worth it. In a lot of jobs, people end up in a situation where they are actively discouraged from doing anything on the side because it's always hard to know if they're even allowed. Learning new skills, having side projects and doing open source is valued in hiring, but strongly discouraged and sometimes impossible when having a job. Are there any solutions to this problem? Curious what people's thoughts are.
