In programming or in anything in life, a Hard Working person, an intelligent person, a passionate person is what that count. From where you start or age doesn't matter, it's what you do from now on and where you're heading. We can't change our current circumstances or reality in one day but definitively where you're heading the time of decision. I am 50 and considering too sharpening my knowledge ( I was a IT / Network guy) to become programmer...
You know what I meant.

Why would anyone release a market algorithm that was proven to make money? And if they did, by virtue of everyone jumping on to use it, would no longer work.

That can be a thing. Calculate how much square footage an economy seat takes compared to a 1st class seat. It's easy math to work out who is paying for the other. Airlines try to maximize profits when doing cabin layout but when they start changing rates, yes a discount to fill one cabin is paid for with profits from the other.
It is not too young. I've been mentored by peers of mine quite a bit that are my age and a bit older (I'm 31).

As another commenter says, stop worrying about age: both yours and theirs. Focus on being willing to leave your comfort zone.
I can easily think of a few good reasons (it is actually a pretty good database for the right use-cases). Can you actually not find a good reason or are you just continuing the exaggerating echo chamber around mongodb's earlier failures for 'points'? Plus this has very little to do with the article which is a very very well done technical analysis of different solutions with very little opining.

I think it would be interesting to build a reputation system like this on top of Ethereum, where each Ethereum address has a reputation associated with it and the darknet markets simply read that reputation into their UIs. That way even if the market gets shut down and loses their database, the vendor reputation system would still persist.
So his argument is that the CPU should be throttled from day 1 so that it doesn't have to be throttled after a year of operation at a higher speed? How is that logical?
Can someone explain to me why when paying weekly people would not turn the discussion on slashing the rate in contrast to paying hourly? I don't see the disconnect between the two and why it shouldn't be possible to also go "My rate is 100$, we need 40 hours, you can only pay 30, okay, what do we slash?"

In fact, that is what I am doing right now.
China represents an existential crisis for some by itself, as a country ignores many fundamental pillars of western society, which have been theorized for half a century to offer an explanation for its own success, yet it so far has achieved much more than expected to be.

Although I think China needs to credit much of its success to western ideas, but it doesn't accept all of them, it takes what it needs and rejects the rest. If this holds, then other developing countries may start adopt the China model (though I don't think it would necessarily work for them), instead of the West's solution, which might signal a global scale retreat on a lot of things, like democracy/free speech/more censorship...you name it.
The only way you'll get malware is if your video player is already compromised.

If it's not compromised, having that video player download a subtitle file from a website they defined is safe.
I’m not Chinese, but I did live there for a bit. If you haven’t already I suggest you take the time to get acquainted with Chinese culture, modern history, and modern Chinese lifestyle. In recent times there have been significant human tragedies there for sure, but given the historical context they feared to relive, and the incredible gains they’ve made in recent years, you can think of their actions as real large scale cases of “the ends justify the means” and “putting the greater good ahead of the individual.”

Still lots of morally reprehensible stuff that cannot be excused, and its a pity they rely on rewriting history and suppressing subversive thought to preserve the government’s legitimacy, but to assume that China is some kind of giant hellish labor camp, and that our frankly ineffective and destructive forms of Western democracy are the only true answers to the world’s problems, is short sighted, blindly dogmatic and ignorant of the way the world works these days.

Not at first, no, but even Patrick had to start at zero, right? It's true that there's a lot more personal branding and content marketing going on, but that doesn't mean a person can't execute a similar strategy and find success. It may not be as profitable as it once was, but it can be enough to relieve some financial stress.

This is too technical for most unfortunately, but the only way to guard something as valuable as your email address is to own the domain and so control the MX records.

I'm fortunate enough to have a grandfathered free Gmail account so I can own my domain and point it to a Gsuite account without paying.

Otherwise it's worth paying up for Gsuite, Fastmail or similar.
Cool thanks. My first client told me their sales is mid hundred millions CAD. And they are expanding into other industries that require my skills. So in all likelihood their revenue will go up. I guess I was lucky by finding them without screening them. I will keep an eye for that in the future, thanks.
I had the same as freelance programmer. The higher the rate, the more respect I got and work actually became easier.
He doesn't say it explicitly, but if you follow him enough you get that impression.
I just tried to do this last week.

The issue I ran into is you can't move dollars between exchanges easily, so to rebalance, you've got to switch to something else. So you're profiting from volatility on one side and then betting on it not happening when you rebalance... and for the rebalancing, you have to wait a lot longer (as compared to trading instantly between currencies on the same exchange).

The other issue is that you have to anchor to something, and you can't anchor to the USD generally because even dollars in various exchanges aren't effectively worth the same amount (since you can't get them out as quickly / easily / risklessly in all exchanges). So you've basically got to anchor to US dollars on a certain exchange, and make trades based on the value of, for example, "Litecoin if sold on GDAX." That adds complexity, but might just be the reality of arbitrage.

That and I'm not sure the order books were large enough to make anything other than small amounts of money. The "last sell" price is just that--the price it last sold for. It doesn't take a whole lot of money before you've driven the price toward parity (and your arbitrage opportunity away).

Anyway--for me it was just a winter vacation project more for the experience than expecting real success. And it may actually work better on a week that wasn't last week (which was a bit uncommon). I guess we'll see.

That is why they stopped trying to outright hide projects like that, and instead mix the truth in tsunami of disinformation, sensationalize, crack pot theories, conspiracy, and the like so even if legitimate "Top Secret" info was leaked it could be safely dismissed as conspiracy, lies, or the newest term "fake news"
I saw the Age of Extinction, and it was probably the worst movie I've watched all the way through. It was just astonishingly bad, and the blatant product placement made it even worse.
I used it late 2015 and it was working okay (still lost money sometimes, ended up with a very tiny gain). It doesn't work very well anymore, mostly due to Bitfinex being the only short exchange that's supported.
Are you a consultant? Do you have 1 and 2 going for you?
I switched to weekly billing about 5 years ago. Life changer really.
Just because names can be faked doesn’t justify the nudge to use real names in what could be a very dangerous way. I don’t see that as a non-issue.
The weird thing with consulting (in my experience) is that a customer almost never knows how capable they are of effectively using a consultant's time and output.

"Okay, we signed a one month consulting engagement, starting Tuesday." Consultant(s) show up on Tuesday, no db's or credentials have been set up, everyone seems surprised they're there.

It consistently amazed me how much consultant time companies waste. When if all of this had been ready, I could have delivered much more value by the end date.

And then same problem with actually using any work produced.

I'd estimate the effective-ineffective customer split is somewhere around 30-70.
They did have many governments and coups in the last 150 years, and they didn’t lead to incrementally better situations, but instead turmoil and foreign exploitation. I’m not Chinese and I can’t speak for their decisions, but it sounds like you don’t know the historical context and assume that Western liberalism always leads to positive ends - which, given our catastrophic interventions around the world, doesn’t seem to be the case.

EDIT: to be clear, nobody is saying what they did is moral. But what I am saying is that the results of such an uprising was not guaranteed to be peaceful, orderly, nor lead to better outcomes; and furthermore you can make the argument that the success of modern Chinese governance has been one of the greatest triumphs of poverty alleviation and human development in all of human history. So to claim with such conviction that that branch of history would be the better option smacks of ignorance to me.
OK, thank you for explaining.
How did you get your start freelancing?
Probably the biggest change looming over our industry is coding to - and deployment on - platforms that definitely are instrumented to capture exactly how much value a developer is adding (or subtracting) from the bottom line with every commit (it's a natural outgrowth of Function As A Service architectures).

It is already possible to more-or-less show how a code change (bug/fix, new feature, change in storage backend, etc.) directly affects your IAAS bill at the end of each month, and taking it a step further by tying in some instrumentation and formulas (of the sort often used to calculate the effectiveness of marketing funnels for optimization and A/B testing) to show the concomittant effect on revenue allows ROI to be calculated.

So, I am pretty sure that Finance-Oriented Programming is going to be a thing not so many years from now, tied into the whole toolchain, and very few - not developers nor their managers - seem prepared for that sea-change (some Operations folks are probably a bit better off in terms of mindset and processes).
How do you find your clients? How did you find this client?
When you charge $100, and the client wants to negotiate, psychologically, $10 seems like a little change, but is actually 10% of your revenue.

If you charge $10,000 / week, and the client wants to negotiate, they'd have to argue to remove $1000 / week for an equivalent change in revenue, which is much different psychologically.
Clearly it wasn’t a moral or just choice, but when China has seen rebellions that lead to the deaths of tens of millions of people in the last century, you can at least see why the incumbent government may have had pause.
Their trade with North Korea has been cut in half since last year, and they've repeatedly supported increased sanctions, including yesterday.
Here in the United States it's popular to isolate nations on the far side of the planet, where we don't have to directly deal with the horrific consequences. But North Korea borders China, and the Chinese will need to deal with the effects of a full or partial North Korean collapse.

And I don't think it's actually an effective (or humane) was to try to solve problems like this to begin with.

Bitcoin – Ultra Spiritual Life Episode 86
The nice thing about atomic theory is that it doesn't really have that kind of hole in it. If you find, say, a sample of an island-of-stability metal you've never seen before and didn't even think was all that likely to be able to exist, you can still study and characterize it in terms of those materials we are more familiar with. You're right that we don't understand everything about the universe. But what we do understand generalizes well enough to cover the "alien alloys" case.

The alternative possibility is that there are places in the universe where fundamental physics works totally differently from here, yet materials formed there can exist here in an apparently stable state - an entire second physical system, never so much as hinted at in any of our own investigations. That would be considerably more surprising than a reporter through ignorance and haste having mischaracterized the content of a story! Reporters do that all the time.
Anyone doubting we're in a cryptocurrency bubble can take comfort in the stabilizing force provided by exchanges failing whenever the price changes significantly
Touché. I make software, so most of the things I build and distribute as information are eternally stuck behind a glass screen. Given your background, I can see how you'd be less impressed by the concept (but your work sounds pretty neat to me, too!).
Me too,it was pretty trivial...
>Who is it exactly that we should never forgive forever?

For starters, whoever decides to delete references to Tiananmen from the Chinese internet, and the surrounding bureaucratic system that permits (or probably demands) it to happen. Whoever orders the media to omit reference to it every anniversary. Whoever continues to order that parents and/or spouses of the victims are placed under house arrest or removed from their homes on the anniversary.

But even replying that way feels kind of absurd, because it individualizes actions that are best understood as expressions the authoritarian regime itself, and it dismisses as a mere "grudge" the kind of thing anyone should remember in the name of maintaining a historical conscience.

We shouldn't forgive because it's not the type of thing that somehow becomes more forgivable with the passage of time. And most importantly of all, we shouldn't forgive because China is largely unrepentant and in every significant way they are still the same regime as the one that carried out the events in the summer of 1989.

edit: And as for who should hold a "grudge," I would say those of us with the energy to participate in these conversations for the purpose of minimizing the historical legacy of Tiananmen have plenty of energy to spare. Both for remembering what it was, and for remembering that the forces that allowed it to happen are still with us in the form of a regime that continues to jail and torture human rights lawyers.
> Long story short: programmers can do things which meaningfully affect marketing outcomes

And... while much of it's been said before... if you call yourself a programmer, very likely you won't be at the table when decisions about marketing are made in the first place. Might even be on the page linked above, but one of patio11's big suggestions is not to call yourself a programmer. I probably still use the label for myself in some situations, but often when coming in to new consulting projects (solo or with someone else), I'll say something technical, then answer some questions, and I usually get "you don't look like a programmer" or "you don't sound like a programmer", in a 'disbelief' sort of tone.

As trivial as it sounds (and it's not, it took years of fighting the 'jump to tech' habit/comfortzone), talking to people about 'the project' at a business/operations/value level is where to start out. "How does it work now? What are you trying to do? Where are the pain points?" etc. Being able to jump down in to the technical weeds when appropriate is a huge bonus - you can talk to their technical staff as well as the rest of the staff and be a bridge.

Was doing some work for a company with a main office and mobile workers (mobile folks are out in trucks doing outdoors work - delivering, planting, landscaping, etc). Each dept head knows their stuff, but I was actually a bit surprised that one of the core office staff - been there more than 10 years, and is the main point of contact for the field workers - had never been to their loading dock to see how they worked. (the dock was, for years, about 1000 feet from her office). As I'm asking questions and trying to determine best approaches for some rework, there was almost no one outside of the owners and one other person who'd actually been to all parts of the company. I went out in the truck with one of the field guys for a few hours... but I'm also a "programmer"... this was revolutionary for them (no one who'd pitched solutions to them had ever been in the field before).

If you want to be treated like a programmer, call yourself a programmer and behave like one. If you want to be able to give more value to a company/client, do more than a programmer would. But... it's hard to do that in most companies as an insider - you're tasked with XYZ, and your intruding on others' territories when you poke around too much (that was my trouble when working at traditional companies). I want/need to know how the whole thing works, but info sharing is sometimes the only way some people can exert control over their areas.
Commentary: totally too many names to keep track of so to future readers, my adivce is avoid a long gap between each reading. But it is fun to learn all the names and what was going on at that time.

I've only done one real project on Informix but I really enjoyed it. The Informix culture is great, all the DBAs seem to be former C programmers who happily write their own utilities in C where other DBAs would have used Perl or something.
The trouble with working for yourself is, your boss can be an asshole. It's hard to take that vacation when there is billable work available. You can burn yourself out quite fast.

After having done this for a long time, I've learned to be zen about the intrinsic variance in income. But it is still hard psychologically. While rationally I know that I make more per year as a consultant and have more interesting work as a result etc, it's still painful to see the numbers in the spreadsheet go down when I'm not working for a few months, even if it was a deliberate decision that I made.
I know of one such case where the user had sold a car for bitcoins years ago, and wanted to cash in on the current bubble. The best the exchange could come up with was sending it in daily in amounts of several thousand dollars

Are all Bitcoin exchanges like this?

I'd be very distraught if someone wouldn't allow me to withdraw my full balance.
Consulting fees certainly make the work more attractive than it would otherwise be, and I have been tempted to go down this path before. That aside, part of me thinks that the culture around consulting is masking bigger problems. I've seen consultants being brought onto projects where the main development staff would've been better placed to do the work (more knowledge about the intricacies of a business, better awareness of the pitfalls of the current systems). However, due to being snowed under maintaining legacy systems, in-house teams may not have the spare capacity to take on more work. For consultants this is a good situation as they can come in, do some greenfield development and leave the maintenance to someone else, but you've got to wonder what goes through the head of business owners who would rather pay high consultant fees than invest in extra staff and training for their in-house team, which is frequently better for the long term health of a company.
Why do you think this happens?
If networking skills come that easily to you you will have a golden future ahead of you.

Spot on. I've been in some situations where I've been 'hired', but the people I have to work with didn't know, or didn't want me there, or were generally antagonistic (usually they weren't consulted at all). Client may end up paying the bill, but they're getting so little value out of what I've done it's... painful. But it's often painful just to be working at some of those companies too (whether as insider or outsider).

If you have a Pixel 2 XL, you can:

Download the source code for its Linux kernel:
https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm.git/+/android-4....

Compile it:

export ARCH=arm64
export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
make wahoo_defconfig
make -j$(nproc)

Build the userspace by looking up the correct source code : https://source.android.com/setup/build-numbers (e.g. branch android-8.1.0_r2):

mkdir $AOSP_HOME
cd $AOSP_HOME
repo init -u https ://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-8.1.0_r2
repo sync --jobs=$(nproc)
source build/envsetup.sh
lunch aosp_wahoo-userdebug
make -j$(nproc)

And then flash your phone by doing fastboot -w flashall, you'll have root access and everything. (omitted downloading some kernel modules for the hardware)
