I would say that in the end there are only 2 ways:

- network with, or better, befriend potential clients. Knowing your market is crutial.

- make good work to get future referrals and speak about it (blog, forums, public speaking) to get leads.

The optimal percentage of these 2 approaches depends on your personality and the stage of your consultancy (just starting, long time in the market, etc).
As anecdotes, one friend, as an housing architect (and the best seller I ever met) finds his clients always during nightlife. By the other hand, my father, as a tradesman, gets clients only by referrals. After 30y it's more than enough for him. He doesn't even has any online presence.

The reason for why the whole unicode checking is done in python3 is to guarantee Unicode support in python3. I actually disliked the old half-string-half-binary approach and almost from the start enjoyed the clear distinction between str and bytes in python3.

That being said, the strings/bytes cleanup was also one of the few things that really broke backward compatibility with 2.x.

The high cost of housing no doubt plays a large role in the Bay Area's homelessness situation.

That in turn has a demand side cause -- the continued influx of highly paid tech workers -- and a supply side cause -- the economically illiterate politics which paints housing development as some sort of handout to developers. The supply side of this problem could be fixed through political means, at no real cost to anyone. New York has 6x the population density of San Francisco yet lower housing prices, because it has the capacity to meet the demand.
I agree. The original title is better and the strange editorializing feels like an overcorrection. Headlines can convey scale without being "clickbait" (I hate that word, it's like Fake News, the definition is relative). The HN title looks like it was run through a programmers/engineers efficiency flowchart and lacks feeling.
I'm sorry but as someone in the U.S. who played competitive rugby for 7 years I have to completely disagree.

In rugby I myself had experienced concussions from collisions at least once a season. Anyone I know who has played have experienced similar.

Less protection to the head means lower g-force hits sure, but still I've seen players knocked unconscious by pure body collision hits or an accidental knee to the head (this happens a lot more than you think) ... in fact in my 4 years of high school football I rarely, if ever, saw anyone knocked unconscious... where in rugby I can recall a handful of incidents.

Rugby has no room to outshine football in this manner. Such a foolish arguement.

I was talking about the companies that would be in the position to do subscription bundle handling, and they're more interested in the current situation.

Publishers can participate in selling user logins and analytics data through various data companies, they're always interested in more data and especially anything unique that your site adds. You should have a certain scale though for the contract to be worth it, otherwise if its just a personal blog then you're probably just limited to run adding some ads from the typical ad networks.

I found People's Republic of China 4-minute Exercise Plan[1] at a thrift store a little while back and have been trying to do the routine a few times a day. This is an exercise plan that was developed by the Chinese government and every morning everyone in China would do this exercise plan before getting their day started (back in Mao times).

The exercises are a little different than western exercises (there is some punching and kicking), but it's a great full-body workout and super-easy to fit in during a commercial break or while your npm packages install.

> It wasn’t a scam as some others have claimed.

It is a scam if they're not making it clear to the users why their phone is suddenly being slowed down. The fact is, even if battery issues are a perfectly fine reason to be doing this, by not making that clear to users and instead leaving them in the dark with a now extremely slow phone (Just in time for their new releases!) they are scamming their users.

If you took your car into a dealership, and instead of telling you that you had a bad battery (That they've known was already going bad in similar cars) they told you that they don't know what's wrong with it, but that they have lots of other cars you can buy, would you consider that a scam? I certainly would.
I still don't understand why we need such a thing. Every single interaction that is involved with protein folding or any chemical or molecular process can be calculated "ab initio" via QED (Quantum Electro Dynamics). So why not just build big computers and be done with it? If there is any macroscopic effect that can be exploited, we still can prove that the theory works and won't need a super powerful FEL for it.
While I agree that the $450 bracket installation is crazy, $900 for the TV is not bad at all. Say the TV is $500 retail. If it breaks you are out $1000, and you have to scramble to buy a new one.

Melbourne had a disposable ticket system in place for Myki - the tickets had already been made[1]. The Liberal government threw them out, wasting 15 million dollars in the process. And probably more on the equipment to dispense them.

This is the same party that on a federal level threw out the nationwide fibre to the premises project, wasting 50 billion dollars on installing new DSL connections instead. I am actually being serious, they will be installing new DSL at a cost of 2400$ per premises until at least 2020.

They were not resourced initially when they had the idea of tackling some of the government's most expensive and daunting challenges. Maybe what I am saying here is that, given their solid objective and passion of making a difference and turning things around, they could do the same to this project as well. They have processes in place which could help with selecting people and technology that could best resolve the job at hand and at the same time, cost less whilst maintaining a high degree of quality.
I am not an architect, although that was a portion of my university work. So I'll give you an unfulfilling answer.

Because codes are arbitrary, and vary from administrative area to area, I'd suggest working by pilot.

Caveat: I'm talking about building codes here. In many places, FAR (floor area ratio) / density / zero lot line zoning codes may be a larger obstacle to generating good, cheap housing.

Design a project that attempts to provide low-cost, safe, bare minimum housing. Then start the approval process. Empower a panel to take notes on what happens and make recommendations on waivers for each issue. And optimize for cost -- including approval time!

Then bring those back to your (the mayor's) desk, and if needed, back to the local populace.

It seems a fair bargain to me: in exchange for quality, cheaper housing (a social good), government agrees to relax less important codes which drive up costs (allowing the developer / builder to make a profit on such housing).

[Soapbox] Part of the issue with deregulation is that it's often done in a top-down, political way (by necessity).

When in reality, the deregulation that matters is infinitely nuanced (e.g. "The local water board wrote a requirement for not more than 20° bends in drainage systems, but by upsizing pipes or using catch basins, the same flow could run up to 70° bends.")

And the only way these things are recognized is through actual projects (e.g. Mr. Steve's).

I think Crystal follows the Ruby path too tightly. Ruby also never found its place in the UI framework world.

I don't disagree with the statement, but it is still missing the point.

This is still equating user features with fundamental operating system security choices and presenting it as an either/or option.

1. They are two wildly different things. The Core Security design is not for you as a consumer of the device. It is for publishers and developers and Nintendo themselves to have trust in the system. What is being argued here is user features. Nice to have's (and I agree, REALLY nice to haves) but not MUST haves for the consoles success. Publishers aren't walking away from the switch in droves and game sales aren't endanger of being eroded because there isn't "Find my switch."

2. It's not a set in stone decision. The core security design has to be competent and hardened from Day 1. You're running against console homebrewers and hackers who will say things like "Stay on Firmware 3.0.0". Knowing full well that you will never be perfect, you have to be reasonably resistant to a webkit exploit that leads to code execution. The success of the security design is measured in days to code execution.
The features that are being talked about in this particular thread can be added (and removed: see Sony and otheros without the legal argument) at any time they want.

We (consumers) may very well get the user-conveinence features being talked about here.. someday.

But the Switch's security model has been defeated as of Firmware 3.0.0 and it is unlikely that it'll ever fully recover. (If a 1st or 2nd stage bootloader exploit is discover, then s/unlikely/never.)
