My experience is quite bad with such companies. There are some huge ones, who are mostly remote, and the first question is "how much do you want to get". I answer, then there is no negotiation, and I usually want just too much (which usually is what I was making at that time). They don't also want to talk with me about any different figures, there is no counter offer, nothing. This is really sad, seems like they don't care because they have an endless pool of talents to hire.

But then it seems like that's not true, as the companies are posting the same job ad for the next months (or even years), and cannot find anyone for that position. And people from those companies cry that they cannot find programmers. And forums keep filling with comments about their stupid recruitment process.

It seems to me that the companies which want to talk, and negotiate the salaries are winning, and can find people.

For the question about my current salary, I answer that my contract doesn't allow me to tell that. If they insist, I ask them if, after getting me hired, they would like me to tell my future employers how much they pay me. That usually ends these questions.

However I don't have any good reason not to answer about my salary expectations, but it seems like I usually want too much :)

Go with what you like. Take a look at Polymer documentation - it is very easy to pick up and works like a charm. I prefer it to react and angular nowdays.

You will still be able to use redux/whatever with it.
Is rustls actually a replacement though?

I don't know where you live but Pivotal Labs did exactly this several years ago (I think they still do but I'm not sure).

They're very expensive and I don't know if they'd take on a single person's project but there are surely other people or companies that will do this.

If you are in an area with a lot of meetups, you should check them out. There are a lot of programmers that are happy to help others.
A breaking change in your dependencies is a breaking change for you. If it weren't, minor version upgrades would cause you to pull in incompatible dependencies.

This is why keeping your dependency list as tiny as possible is imperative.

Writing a Linux Debugger Part 2: Breakpoints
I thought the top one simply has a slightly different writing style.(For ex: the thi in muhaiyatheen).. Apart from that there does seem some grammar/or other rule/mistake.. I can see 'udaiya' (or something lke it) twice. once joined with 'buks' and once before bell... Which is unusual, and makes me wonder if it was written by someone not familiar with the language..

Stross fans will know what I mean when I say this nomenclature sounds like something out of "A Colder War" [1]. Those who don't know what I mean are strongly encouraged to follow that link, at the far end of which is a rather good piece of short fiction that answers the question: "What if Lovecraft was right - and Kubrick, in Dr. Strangelove, was right, too?"

Like the OP says, you should avoid revealing your salary. If and when the time comes for that, you can give a wide variety of numbers for "my compensation is $X". That X can include some or all of your benefit package. They are not going to drill down to the details. If they do, and for some reason you have to reveal that, you can feel comfortable that you have told the truth.
You also had to pay 100$ per copy of the COM component. Most of the web stuff is free, and you can just right click and view source. In NodeJS and NPM there are hundreds of thousands of components/modules that you can use for free.

ad the last point: Isn't this perfectly fine in principle (minus the fact that Mypy is third-party)? Compilers in static languages also work only with the source code, in a way, as there is no runtime interpreter. So there should be no reason for type checkers on dynamic languages to require the runtime. Granted, this forces you to essentially write type-statically in a dynamic language, which might limit your expressiveness, but that's probably your point anyway if you do type checking. Now I'm not saying that Mypy is anywhere near this hypothetical situation. My point is that type checkers over dynamic languages should not need the runtime in principle. Conversely, the runtime should not need to do the type checking, for performance.

>You do realise that would probably increase the amount of customer support cases raised, from confused/angry users

No, it won't.

It's an urban legend.

For every support request that cannot be answered from a stock pile of answers, the first reply is "update to the latest version and then come back." and not once did I see anyone ever complain about it (leave alone become angry) in my 20+ years in IT business. Never. Not a single complaint. Those who can upgrade will upgrade when asked.
When Time Series databases peak your interest you might want to take a look at a new kid on the block; SiriDB. (https://siridb.net)

Full disclosure, SiriDB is created by my team and is released as a full open source solution including cluster mode support which allows to easily spread and safeguard your time series data across multiple nodes when data grows.
SiriDB is fast, has no dependencies and is capable of handling large volumes of time series data.
Downvoting won't fix your broken employer-employee relations.
And what if you lie? Also, I think it depends on what country you're in. For instance in UK most recruiters are 3rd party companies operating only as middlemen and their compensation from the employer company is directly proportional to your offered yearly salary (usually something like 15%), so they are interested in getting you the highest possible salary within reason.

I am myself an experienced Joomla! dev but have been using upwork to outsource various non-critical and none-core works in a very limited way over the past year or 2. The other month I needed a Joomla! expert to work with me on a larger project and looking closer and after some interview I understood there was none I could rely on for this critical project, so I abandoned the job post.

However, this gave me an idea that I should enlist myself as freelancer. Now that was easier said than done, I have been submitting all kinds of revisions of my freelancer profile and have been declined with the reason that they have too many freelancers with similar profile. I say bs, because I know my domain very well. I did all necessary tests including Joomla!, php, mysql, javascript, english ... all within the highest ranks. Anyway after many efforts and even request to support to review the seemingly automated reply I kept getting I stopped trying, and the support could only advice me on some generic aspects such as changing my profile photo to be more visible and such nonsense.

For me this was quite indicative of what is going on on this market, but I am not sure why they choose to dumb it down.

Thank you for raising this question, which I think is heartfelt one both as client and freelancer.

Thank you. And to people who think this won't affect them, it doesn't even have to be cp charges. NSA has lost the fight to keep its uncensored dragnet data to itself. Today, it is FBI who has access to it. Tomorrow, it will be the IRS which is fine. However, the real kicker will come when state departments of revenue and city police get their hands on it.

There's no reason to answer that question. Instead, talk about your expectations: say that your understanding is the role involves X, Y, and Z, and you have experience in related areas A, B, C, and accordingly you'd be looking to get $x for this role. Then, transfer it all back to them: "Does that fit with your range for the position?"

We use libgit2 server side, Paw does not talk GIT it talks json to our syncing service. (the repo format we have would not be very nice if you wanted to embed it in another project, since we split out each object in Paw into a separate yaml file to reduce merge conflicts, this means even small projects in Paw can be 1000s of files) During merges etc we run extra validation on the project to ensure we dont get corruption. (this is not easily possible with repos hosted on github etc) (paw backend dev here)

Of course, negotiation is expected and you shouldn't lay all your cards on the table, but outright lying might poison the relationship.

That is exactly the issue. It mostly comes down to code review, i.e. to make sure they produce functional code in a reasonable amount of time, where the code doesn't look like it was written by a crazed monkey on crack. The last few years the latter was increasingly the case. There are many times where, after the first few days, there is a dramatic shift in coding style, and you know that another (possibly junior) dev has taken over the work.

As this kind of fraud increases, it becomes increasingly expensive and overall unattractive to work in this fashion.

To be honest, right now the market is fucked, which is why I am eager to get out. On the one hand, pressure from "cheap freelancers" has driven down the client expectation of cost, whilst on the other hand, decent freelancers often command rates that are in excess of what I am able to bill. It is unsustainable, and I am out. I am finishing a migration project for a long standing client of mine, and that will probably be the last project I take on that will require me to engage with freelancers. I am already struggling to resource this current project, and I can do without the hassle.

I'm scoping out a new startup, and will need to find something to do to keep the money flowing in until that's done.

Just lie and say something competitively high, because negotations will always lowball and haggle it down from there. Previous salaries are NEVER verified for simple reasons, its beyond offensive for the references as well as the interviewing company to ask about compensation which is a private business affair.

Why is responding to asshole questions in a pragmatic manner so hard to avenge for hanging by the doornail autists?

This is the same crowd of introverted nerds that whitenight and go for the valor M'lady type antics. Theres no honor in getting the shit end of a bargain.

Do you tell the officer who pulls you over "Am i being detained?" And pull that blatantly antagonistic yet legal shpeil? You just end up getting yourself in a worse situation even if the law is on your side. Because cops dont usually follow the law for who they deem as assholes. They make things hard.

Theres no moral highground here. Lest you want to sit in a jail cell for the night because its your word against theres.

Lie. 200k year. Done. Lowball negotation down to 150. Happy? No harm done. Because its bullshit. A lie is no more bad than a deceitful and dagger cloaked question designed to make sociay awkard nerd fucks anchor their salary at peanuts because they lack market knowledge.and their own self worth.

The high ground loses against nefarious actors. "I wont discuss this because of X Y Z. is just a replica of the cop situation. You most likely wont get the job because youll be seen as a technically abrasive smug person.

Right now we have research that is slow to publish, but publishing is careful, and once published we treat is as a kind of truth. You can call it a "Brittanica" approach.

Alternative is not just a faster publishing, but more feedback, and better discussion around the subject. You could call it a "Wikipedia" approach.

In the "Wikipedia" approach, you don't rely on the publisher's prestige, nor citations, as a meter of trustworthiness. Before accepting the results you review it's discussions and critique.

A similar switch happened with traditional news publishing. Years ago you had to rely on the fact that an article was published in Economist, and vetted by their good editors. Nowadays, there is a lot of independent content, and there are communities (like HN, or Reddit's AskScience), and non-profits (fact checkers, or Snopes) that point out the potential issues.
I think opinionated framework should do this. This way there is only one way of doing things - angular way.

So when all the angular developers quit and new ones join they can semi-understand the code because it's written in "angular way".

The actual discovery was when the first homo sapien settled in US, AU, NZ etc.... Of course some cultures managed to travel to these lands long before our history records tells us. Native Americans are not a separate species of homo sapiens, they did not evolve there separately.

"so they are interested in getting you the highest possible salary within reason."

They care far more about closing the sale and moving on to the next one. Also their relationship with employers is far more valuable to them than their relationship to any individual so if anything they will side with their customer (i.e. who is paying them) which is the employer not the employee.

One point raised on the article is that they will have a better idea of market and salary range than you will (or they should!). So if you give them your desired salary it might be out of their range (too high or too low). Also, especially at the beginning of the hiring process, you don't know everything about the company, so how can you have a valid desired salary?

Also, your value to them as a possible employee increases as you go through the interview process, so why would you limit yourself up front (I have done this before and it ended up in a offer that I didn't take).
Even if we get a 5° - 10° Celsius increase, wouldn't there be plenty of opportunity for millions of humans to survive closer to the poles?

Probably not. That amount of increase will likely disrupt every food chain on the planet, and larger lifeforms will not be able to adapt fast enough. That means extinction time for everything larger than a mouse or unable to migrate.

Even if some arable land remains around the poles, the most you will find growing there is moss and grasses. Wheats require a very rich soil, which will either not be there or be exhausted after a few crops.

I don't think one should take obvious satire to seriously. There's not enough time in the day to point out details in posts that are written just for laughs.

However, just to be pedantic ( ;-) ), I'll have to point out that "a big part of the people defending VSCode in this post agree that X11 is slow" does not imply "a big part of the people agreeing that X11 is slow defend VSCode in this post". The two aren't commutative, since one set of people is quite likely much larger than the other.

No. If you experience scam in Upwork, just pick only 'top rated' freelancers, they won't scam you, expect to pay $30 an hour and above.

If someone is better than a typical Upwork 'top rated' freelancer, he or she is probably not interested in work for hire (at least not hourly on rates one can get/makes sense to pay online). They either work full time in big companies which provides job security and stock options, make their own startups, or freelance locally to the people they know (where a much higher level of trust can be built so a higher pay is justified) at rates north of $150 an hour. They won't go to any alternative.

And yes, Upwork below top rated status just sucks.

FedEx paying five dollars to install Flash
Yeah, nice idea, but then when HR comes into play you can't expect logic(or you can, but a very twisted one).

I know someone who the engineering team really wanted, but he was paid 65k currently, and he wanted at least 80k, because he would have to move to London.

Who did the HR decide to hire? A guy who scored much worse during the interview, but he "only" wanted an increase from 90k to 95k - and HR was prohibited by corporate policy from offering more than 10% increase in previous salary for new hires, so the first guy couldn't be offered 80k - even though the person they actually hired was paid a lot more than that.

Is the policy stupid? Yes it is. But that's the real world situation you sometimes have to deal with.
