As a "forever globbetrotting" remote worker, I wanted to share some thoughts about it with you.

First thing first: do NOT ask yourself what a company can do for you (remote ok or not), showcase yourself and what YOU can do for a company. Here is what I mean: I've been working two years in a company which is definitely not remote friendly. I wasn't even thinking about working remotely, but life is full of surprises. I'm now (remote) fullstack lead developer of that exact same company, having 2 offices with developers spread over the world. I participate meetings, answer my phone line as if I were with all of them. We all admit I'm way more productive at work, some (including my boss) saying I may be paying an Asian guy to be "answering every time they need me". It's not about convincing each historical company to be remote friendly, it's about these companies fit the market (as they always do to keep on making money) if they want to keep on hiring most talented professionals!

If you know your stuff, you are the lucky guy. Find the job YOU love, and find it where it is. Convince them you are the guy, be opened to spend one or two weeks with your team few times per year, wherever it is, and be clear that your teammates timezone is the one (yes, you may have to be online for a meeting at the middle of the night, but the week-end after while your colleagues will be somewhere fun not that far, you will be at Niagara Falls, visiting Dubai, or sailing a lagoon in the Indian Ocean). Then just do it, you will rock it, both of you being happy with it. And do not fear realizing you work better in an office with teammates.

Having to keep a budget while travelling, I would definitely NOT recommend to be freelancer without some recurring work from multiple well-known clients (who really pays). This is NOT something to treat lightly. No money: nothing good for you, and your family. Clients do NOT contact you just because you say you are good and your website is awesome (I've been running two companies for 10 years before, I promise I know my stuff). Consider it thoroughly with your wife, even if she makes enough money for the whole family. Many (but not all) freelancer testimonies are fakes or pure dreams, it's not rare digging around you will find them always staying in Asia because it's inexpensive and they do not make enough money to get elsewhere!

Last words, regarding freelancer stuff or nomadism, keep in mind this is getting huge nowadays, and becoming a business for a lot of people who just think about making money from you with fancy website you may need (or not). I'm pretty sure you will easily find links (if not some on this thread already). Just be conscious about what it really helps you to. Having "a community" to answer questions is free as you can see ;)

In a train from Aveiro to Porto, Portugal, I wish you fame and fortune for your career! But fortune may be enough ;)
Software support for hidpi outside of OS X/macOS isn't great. If you can test it out on an existing computer before buying a new one I'd recommend doing that just to be sure that's what you want. Otherwise 1080p would probably be bearable on a 15" screen I would imagine.

OP here: There are USB-C to HDMI/DisplayPort male-to-male cables and male-to-female adapters. Strictly speaking, you don't need it to make your devices work together. But if you don't have Thunderbolt 3, then you're stuck without such options.
Without getting into the financials, I will say that the $/gflop wasn't bad. A Mac Pro rack was significantly cheaper per system than the next cheapest type of rack we deployed (using Supermicro FatTwin systems, for a different use case).

Server hardware is very expensive, and workstation or server class GPU hardware is not cheap either. Mac Pros are not the best price/performance ratio in that class, but they are (even now) within reason.

Just because something photographs well, it doesn't mean that caution was thrown to the wind just to get something pretty. It's a datacenter after all, it's meant to facilitate a task. The rationale behind imgix deploying Mac Pros in a datacenter environment was pragmatic and based on certain fixed technical requirements.
My go-to programming music is psytrance/goa [1]. It's high energy in the bass drum/bass line category, but the other melodies are often ethereal or even ambient sounding. It's repetitive enough to slot into the background quite easily for me. I found it by accident one night back when radio was still a thing and it took me 10 years to even turn the sound that I was hearing into a genre name. I find it to be as effective as caffeine, which is very interesting to me.

[1] Example: http://streamer.psyradio.org:8030/ And make sure you have headphones with a good bass response or a subwoofer. I find the music loses a lot without its bass line.
Deduplication works well these days.
Because polling on phones these days must include mobile phones to be accurate, which is every expensive because computerized dialers are illegal for mobile numbers. To poll mobile phones, you must have humans manually dial each number.

Polling is a major expense for campaigns. Anything that gets that cost down is a strategic advantage. That said, online polling has a LONG way to go before it is as accurate and trusted as phone polls.
Also, there is evidence of ongoing human activity to protect and continue the communication:

1) When Alfa Bank and only Alfa Baink, not the Trump organization, was asked about the communication, the Trump organization decommissioned the domain.

2) The Trump organization then setup a new domain, apparently as a replacement, and Alfa Bank was the first to connect to it (or DNS lookup, I'm not sure of that detail).

I have three cars (and two motorcycles), and there's just my wife and I; no kids, but two dogs that have to be planned for. Why three cars? Well, the Scion xB (DogMobile) was purchased new 12 years ago, it's paid off, and it can carry dogs and bicycles. The Nissan Leaf was pre-ordered the day we were able, someone has to kick start that electric car thing. And since a nylon tent isn't going to contain an 80lb. pit bull terrier when it hears a raccoon at 3 a. m., we bought an '81 VW camper van.

Now, we could get rid of the Scion and use the VW as the new DogMobile. But the Scion is long paid off, reliable as a hammer, and we don't put miles on a temperamental old VW that wasn't that reliable to begin with (in comparison to a Toyota-made Scion). The resale value on Leafs is horrible, and we like the car. Long since paid off, too, and since it's our "nice car": no dogs allowed.

Oh, and my Dad just texted me this weekend asking if I wanted his 1963 Austin-Healey 3000. As much as it pains me, I'm probably going to turn him down and let him sell it. Too many vehicles the way it is, and nowhere to put the Healey except a storage unit. But until I give a definitive "no", there's the possibility that we could be a four car family.

Ridiculous, yes. But for some the vehicles just kind of pile up.
I think you are looking at this problem from the wrong perspective.

I was also making this mistake too in the past. You cannot beat MacOS in its own game, polished object-oriented Apps reminiscent of NeXTStep with a lot of indie offerings.

You need to realise polish means something different in Linux. It means classic open-source text-mode keyboard-driven file-configured programs that do one thing, do it well and are easy to compose in the Unix tradition. URxvt, emacs, vim, mutt, mbsync, zathura, irssi, etc.

Obviously most of these are portable and thus not exclusive of Linux. But you will get most of them in Linux, running a minimal tiling window manager like XMonad and a good package manager like pacman, nix or guix.

This takes time to master, but in my opinion can't be beaten and will not become out of fashion easily.

What's with the desire for a 4k laptop? The 5.1 megapixels on my 15" rMBP are certainly more than I can see (36yo here). Especially as this guy is looking for a 13" screen, and more pixels leads to less battery life, I don't see the draw.

I am not a VC.

The first thought is to have a successful compang that'd be worthy of investment. Next, show they've thought about the trade-offs, which I'd say these docs prove. Lastly, don't hear no when a VC says they don't invest in remote companies, but be prepared the address in a short response how you understand why they feel that way, why it is a non issue, and then leave the door open to let them changd their minds.

Seems like cron really should have a way to run a job at a random moment between two points in time. I searched around some and all the solutions involve terrible hacks like prefacing your command with /bin/sleep $((RANDOM\%3600)).
It's a Dell. Love? No way. I am using xmodmap to swap left Control and left Alt because the Alt key is located where I expect the Command key would be on a Mac. So, my Alt-C copies to the clipboard.

Using AutoKey, I've got most of the Terminal control keys remapped to Alt keys when in the Terminal. Using AutoKey, my Alt-C does Control-Shift-C in Terminal, and Control-C works as I expect in the Terminal.

> ... polish really find Linux or Windows that much better?

It's definitely not better when it comes to polish, it's worse. However, instead of the lickable polish of OSX, you get responsiveness that makes OSX feel laggy in comparison.

Under Windows at least, you still have Photoshop, Lightroom, etc. except I've found they run faster than under OSX. Whether I'm on my PC or my retina Macbook Pro, I usually develop under a Linux VM via VMWare, and VMWare is definitely much more responsive under Windows as well.

Regarding Homebrew, if you didn't want to use a linux vm setup, there's now the linux subsystem on Windows 10, which has worked well for the few things I've tried under it.

But yes, everything looks worse than OSX. I found I haven't cared as much as I originally thought I would, especially with the increased responsiveness and lack of beach-balls (you don't realize how used to beach-balls you are till you stop seeing them).

Apparently Dell still has Ubuntu edition laptops. Based on Reddit comments, they seem to be working really well. For 16Gb ram and this insane resultion, seems great deal for $1800.

I get that different people have different needs, and someone might say there's a need for 64 Gb RAM laptop. But it's not fair to say that MacBooks are not for developers anymore. I'm really happy with 16 Gb RAM on my MBP, which allows me to run Android Studio, XCode, Rails server, Redis Server, PostgreSQL and dozens of other small things at the same time.
I don't see a reason for such reactions.

DDR4 uses about 30% more energy in general though, hence the thickness bit as to get a 10 hour lifetime means more battery.

Presumably Apple means that lpddr is the only choice they care about for a laptop. Which while I would love more ram, understand. And that explains why if you see laptops with more than 16g of ram they generally have giant batteries and are using desktop ram.
