Do some contracting / consulting for a future employer first; and then ask if they will take you on as a regular employee?

As for how to evaluate. Try imagining a 5-10 year period in both scenarios, calculate your pay/earnings, be realistic about sick leave, holidays, periods without earnings (as self-employed), figure out where you will be career-wise as an employee.

I can absolutely understand why being an employee again can become attractive again after a while as self-employed.

This seems to be a web-based mini-client of Skype for Business now available for non-Office 365 teams. They say it has more restrictions that Office 365 users of Skype for Business: Primarily conferences are limited to 10 people in a conference in the first 60 days of a (non-Office 365) team using it and 3 people after that.

This seems to be an attempt to upsell teams currently using Google Hangouts to try Office 365.

It may also be a slipstream announcement that the web-based client for Skype for Business has gotten better? I can't tell based on just the blog post. Something to investigate maybe.

If you provide the information as to which type of job you have now this might make more/less sense. What about growing the business a bit more now to hire someone else, groom them, put them in charge, and then work on administrative work.

After reading the headline, I was actually expecting the article to go in a totally different direction. Most of the time, when I see software with rotten foundations, it's there to preserve backward compatibility. The maintainers all see the rot, they want to fix it, they want to clean it all up, they want to do things right. But they can't do anything that would change the API or break user space in any way, and so, they continue supporting the rot indefinitely.

The alternative of course, is to fix the rot and prioritize long term benefits over short-term pain. The downside is that this could break backwards compatibility. This is the path Python chose when they went from Python 2 -> Python 3, and the resulting schism was so great, that they have promised to never do this again. More often than not, this is the same experience that every software project goes through. Breaking backwards compatibility is so disruptive, that even living with a rotten foundation seems preferable.

Given the blog title, I would have expected that author to argue that fixing the rot is preferable over almost anything else. Instead, he seems to be making the exact opposite argument. He's making the argument that breaking backwards compatibility is so bad, that we should never do it, no matter how rotten the existing API might be.

Of course, he wouldn't actually frame it that way. If you asked the author, he would simply ask "Why can't you just build the API right the first time?" One might as well ask the question: "Why can't you just build a software without any bugs?" Let's see...

1) To err is human and people will make mistakes. Both in implementation (bugs), and in design (bad APIs).

2) Building safeguards against mistakes is expensive, in time and effort. Building 100% robust safeguards against mistakes, is extremely expensive.

3) There's only so much you can learn in a lab, or from a beta. If you don't have any regrets from 2 years of live data, then you haven't learned anything at all.

Every project strikes its own balance along the speed vs stability, and improvement vs backwards-compatibility axis. And there is no intrinsically wrong answer. Just because what your ideal balance differs from the balance that the project chose, is no reason to insult and condescend to them. And yelling at someone for being human and making mistakes, just sounds childish more than anything.
I am so sick of this mentality that seems to raise aesthetic distractions, "new features!!!111", and pointless, frequent version changes over code quality and reusability.

It is a sign that this area of commercial software dev has been almost completely subsumed by marketeers and business hacks; while they may not control GTK (though I honestly don't know/care who does), it is clear that their influence (gotta have the latest new and shiny!) has crowded out other, more prosaic concerns (like stability and compatibility).

A lot can be said about Microsoft's code, but I have always admired just how much effort they go through to preserve API compatibility. (Going so far as to version specific functions and including older versions so as to not break stuff -- TwiddleBit1(), TwiddleBit2(), and so on.

But on another note it's a problem with we programmers as well. We're so distractable... you can see it everyday here on HN... "Show HN" is virtually a graveyard of half-baked, re-hashed ideas implemented in shiny new frameworks. Unicorns trying to take over the world write long-form blog-posts describing their tech (but leaving out enough details to let you try it yourself or duplicate it!) to keep us programmer-types distracted and submissive ('it's better they gawk at code than question our motives') with their pointless show-and-tells.

Also... I am god damn sick and tired of dealing with updates! Stop updating your damn code so much!!!!!!!!!

Or even better... get it right the first time! (It can be done!)
That seems like a "disclosure" as defined by the NSL.
I think that you can argue it either way.

Information access is so cheap today that the framework for how I learn now is very different than how it was when I was growing up 25 years ago.

Most knowledge is bundled up into bite-sized chunks and indexed by Google. In 1991, you'd be consulting a reference manual or some other physical medium to get the information to answer a question. Today, that answer is pre-interpreted and available on Stack Exchange via Google.

That said to master your craft, whatever it is, still requires that attention to detail and complemative approach.

> My suspicion [from personal observation] is that they simply don't know anymore: It's something they learnt in college, but after a few years of dealing with symptoms and prescribing treatments, they forget about the why.

If your doctor actually doesn't know why it's necessary to take the full course of antibiotics (antibiotic resistance), please get a new doctor. Seriously. (And report the old one, since he/she should not be practicing).

Of course, if the problem is simply that you can't get a layperson-intelligible answer from them, or get enough time with them for them to explain it to you, or if they're willing to explain it to you, but only if you ask... that's another story, and much more commonplace.

The sad truth is, even for the most compassionate, attentive, dedicated doctor - the one who would always go the extra mile to provide you with the best care imaginable - over the years, it's become increasingly difficult (read: next-to-impossible) to dedicate that extra time to the patient unless they really press for it. Insurance reimbursements have been cut to the point where the only way most physicians can stay afloat is to make their practice a volume game[0]. As the patient, you're not actually the paying customer (the insurer is), and the insurer doesn't care if the doctor takes an extra five minutes to talk about bacterial resistance and evolution. They'll reimburse him/her the same amount either way[1].

The exception to this is high-end, self-paying practices (think 'concierge medicine'). Unsurprisingly, those tend to have the best service (of course, you pay heavily for this).

[0] Or to go bankrupt, and sell to a hospital/practice group. Which is subject to the same pressure to generate volume, except the hospital cares a lot less about you, the patient, on an emotional level than a private practitioner does.

[1] In fact, in the worst case, the provider is getting reimbursed exactly $0 for providing you this care, because you're on a capitated plan. Under captitation, the provider (usually a hospital) gets a fixed, annual amount per patient that they are responsible for, and that's all the payment they ever get. The idea there is that it discourages unnecessary care - which is true, but it also disincentivizes necessary care as well. And spending an extra 5 minutes to educate the patient in a way that may have an impact on broader public health, but is unlikely to affect their own actual care in any measurable way? They don't have time for that, and they're certainly not getting paid for it.
it would definitely be trivial to add the ability to rescind an approval with a -1, for example.

As another data point, ITA software took steps to avoided gc-ing:
"Because we have about 2 gigs of static data we need rapid access to, we use C++ code to memory-map huge files containing pointerless C structs (of flights, fares, etc), and then access these from Common Lisp using foreign data accesses"

It is impossible to know the true re-offense rate for sex crimes because reporting is so low.

By that logic, it's equally impossible to know how frequently it goes unreported in the first place. So your statement in unsupportable based on your own reasoning.

In short: Either we can rely on sexual offense reporting rates in order to make legal policy decisions, or we can't.

You don't get to have it both ways and only rely on the data when it suits your agenda.

Sometimes I like to see what I can figure out in 5 minutes without help or using easy search terms. Keep my Google Fu sharp. Clicking on your name would've been way too easy. Although, I probably should've looked just in case before I asked haha.

Anyway, nice to run into you. I remember your writings were some inspiration in my work on an embedded, efficient 4GL. I no longer had the tool or even remember what I read but your writings factored into it a bit I know. So, thanks for that I guess is all I can say there. :)

Btw, I recently discovered the 1802 in my high assurance and anti-subversion research in hardware. That foray was interested in chips that demonstrated extreme reliability and longevity. I looked into spaceflight given overlap in requirements. Discovered it. The Intersil datasheet had amazing amount of info compared to most chips with some impressive claims about what it could handle.

Since you had to study it, do you think it's worth using on an older process node for high-reliability today? Anything good about it you remember that's worth copying today? Or one of the bigger headaches of your career? I'm just curious as verifiable designs will likely require inspectable fabs... which require tiny CPU's. Means I can't overlook any old wisdom from a time with similar constraints.
Kalid: you should really check out geometric algebra (a.k.a. Clifford algebra). It will give you a much deeper understanding of what i is and what the exponential function is, and how they generalize to higher dimensions and more complicated models, and it will help stitch together the weird inconsistent little fragments of understanding provided by imaginary numbers, quaternions, matrix algebra, Lie theory, differential forms, etc. into a more unified/cohesive model.

This is the model all high school and college students will be taught in 100 years, or perhaps even in 50 years, and it will prevent an enormous amount of confusion and misunderstanding. It’s already becoming the practical tool of choice in many geometric computing problems, and among niche groups of physicists.

One can't really learn cryptography without writing code. IMO, people should write code and share it and get feedback on it, and experts should donate some time to help them improve, so that we can have more experts. And experts should encourage good programming practices: good testing, good design documentation, etc.

I've worked on code bases written by experts that put billions of people at risks that were avoidable with proper testing. Conversely, I've seen newcomers write very good code--yes, even crypto code--that was clearly correct because of their code clarity, documentation, and tests.

There's a lot of people who are going to interpret your comment--the one at the top of this discussion--as "Newbies shouldn't even try, and definitely shouldn't show their code to anybody." I doubt that's what you intended, but that's unfortunately the message that gets conveyed, judging from the discussions I've had with lots of newcomers. Nobody's going to write perfect crypto code right away. We can't be shooting them down before they even get started.

I pay for a couple of online newspapers (one is generic, the other specialized in something I'm interested in) too, because what they write is high quality content in my eyes and worth it.

That may be true, but it would remove any moral ambiguity for me and make it easy for me to stick to my principle. If a judge orders me to make a false public statement, I'll disobey, and accept the consequences. No further justification is needed.

Landmark databases occasionally do get that minute. Something like this could be listed with a location of "Southeast corner of Rose and Prospect".

Nice translation. I'd love to see more of this type of thing; it is really difficult to read a lot of good texts from hundreds of years ago due to the changes in prose.

Sadly, it seems like we as a nation have broken nearly every rule Washington warned us about - political infighting, foreign entanglements, etc.

I don't quite get why quantum effects are required, and the determinism have to be removed to explain "free will".

The deterministic effects in the brain must be negligible, as you can't reasonably reproduce the internal and external state of 100 billion neurons, swimming in a incomprehensibly complex chemical soup that is altered by the brain itself, at the same time experiencing the changing reality.
Don't do it. The biggest benefits employers give to you such as : steady income, predictable working conditions, career opportunities are basically a marketing trick.

Not only that, but there are a lot of domains where you don't need to be terribly accurate in the first place, because existing methods are so terrible.

I work for silent circle, as a backend developer. I speak for myself, and not the company.

As far as I know (and, sure, I may not know, although if someone wanted something from the server I'm one of a few guys that could get it), we haven't received any letters. What makes me even more confident, though, is the fact that there really isn't much data to give. All we have is some ciphertexts for attachments, and messages aren't retained, even encrypted (why would they)?

We don't even log IPs or other personal information, so I'm not sure what usefulness an NSL would serve.

Anyway, this is not an official company stance, I just wanted to comment about my personal experience because I see some speculation here.

Since each punch card meant something, you really learned code. Watching out for memory and keeping track of registers was paramount (COMPASS was my HS and Freshman initial class). Syntax killed, but was overcome by hand writing code. The science of CPS courses had to be taught just to be able to pass the class via assignments. Writing an OS with punch cards was an entire term.

I switched back to a management-level web development job in January after 4 years of self-employment and 4 years running a small web business with 5 employees. I must say that I am now less stressed, financially much better off, healthier and see my friends more than ever. I do miss the supposed freedom of self-employment, but more often than not, it doesn't really exist. You're chained to running your company and paying the bills so you can't turn down all the bad jobs and bad clients. At least in a job, thats often someone else's problem.

However, you will miss earning your own money and cringe at the thought of making someone else richer on you're time. I personally will return to running my own company eventually, but for right now, I'm quite content with my fat monthly pay check.
