There's no such thing as a bad client, just a bad angle someone else may see your work from.

Clients become clients when they sign a contract. Before that people are leads and prospects. Clients who don't pay are bad clients, not someone who sees the world from a different angle. They are bad clients because work done for non-paying clients sucks up time that could be spent finding clients who will pay. By extension, work for low-paying clients competes with finding better paying clients.

As someone who does freelance in a developed country, competition from foreigners isn't too big of a deal.

The main problem is, with the way businesses are ran in the US, it's REALLY expensive being self employed. You pay a massive amount in taxes and you don't get any social security matching from an employer or health, dental, etc. benefits.

Basically, you need to make a LOT more pre-tax to come out to the point where you're living the same type of lifestyle as someone who has a full time position.

All languages have flaws but that doesn't mean all languages are equally good or bad. Some languages are better than others but due to the complexity of the subject and the relatively few people who know many languages really well (along with perhaps some personal preference) there's endless room for debate on the exact ranking.

I'm sorry but what is your source of information exactly? "Hate speech" vkontakte is very dangerous in Russia and could put you in prison for a long time. Even upvotes and reposts could lead to very undesirable outcome. On the other hand I never heard of any problems for LGBT communities: despite western propaganda no one really cares about them. It didn't took me long to google them.

So which garden hoses of resumes should I put my resume into--rather than the fire hose--if I want to be hired by a good company that follows your recommendations?

If you don't drink from the fire hose, you're accepting the intrinsic biases of the lower-flux feeds that you do use, and missing the candidates that won't necessarily know to stand exactly where you are willing to search for them.

But then, if you do disclose your sources, and everyone starts using them, those eventually increase in volume and decrease in quality as well.

The problem is still finding a method to match high-quality employee candidates with high-quality employers, without getting swamped by any low-quality parasites inserting themselves into the signal and masquerading as high-quality for individual benefit.

Why not have some of the candidates vet each other? Give everyone a random set of N partially anonymized resumes, and ask them to pick the one out of the N that they would most enjoy working with at your company.
> I'm not convinced you can tell that as well as you think you can.

I'm skeptical as well. I remember reading a thread (probably here on HN) where somebody was talking about "obviously fake" resumes where the applicant listed himself as an expert in 10 different programming languages. Setting aside what "expert" could mean to different people... I've been doing this for 25 years. I'm proficient in _at least_ 10 different programming languages, and leave off quite a few like Cobol, Pascal, and ColdFusion. I've had some inexplicable job application rejections, and I've often wondered if they didn't come from somebody who looked at my resume and said, "this dude's lying".

And this is exactly why the comment above yours has value. Beat the drums and spread the message.

I mean, I suppose it's entirely possible that "most companies" are quite pleased with their hiring process and the people they have hired, and truly believe there is no one better that they could have hired. But there's a pretty good chance they could have hired someone better... not objectively, universally better, but better suited to their actual day-to-day needs.

Thanks, thats an aspect that didn't occur to me. I have some experience with EDA (Electronic Design Automation) systems at the hobbyist level, and managing/versioning even simple design artefacts can be a pain. I can see how pro-level CAD would present considerable challenges.

That said, there is obvious scope for vendor lock-in when designs are cloud hosted.
I'm pretty sure there is no such thing as "an egg", and I'm skeptical that the health effects of consuming eggs can be generalized over all eggs.

Try comparing an egg from the cheapest dozen you can buy at the cheapest supermarket in your area against an egg from someone who raises chickens. In my experience the cheap egg will have watery whites and a pale yoke that breaks if you look at it funny. Fry it up and it will basically taste like nothing. The other egg will have a much thicker white, and a yolk that stands up in the bowl, takes considerable work with a fork to really break apart, and is somewhere between orange and bright vivid orange. This egg almost certainly tastes a lot better.

Is one healthier than the other? I don't know. But you can tell just by looking at them that they have substantially different compositions.

Regulation in the US makes it harder for this to happen but 3 stepping stones will let the tide turn and Amazon is very close to crossing them.

1. Money transmission regulations require at least $2 million in reserves and 2 years to get a license to transmit money in all 50 states.

2. Knowing the credit and identity of your customers is critical in preventing fraud, illegal transactions, and other issues which cost huge $$$ to payment ecosystem providers with the current consumer guarantees in the US. Only a company with mass market deep data on every user’s consumer patterns can pull this off cheaply, and Amazon is far closer to this than anyone else.

3. Getting plugged into the trusted banking ecosystem for deposits to consumer accounts and the whole ACH process is a total mess. Banking regulation puts a wide number of restrictions on anyone who tries to act like a bank to get access to those payment networks. A mass market company could probably replace that, but it has to have a way to do what it does whiteout being regulated as a bank.

These will be broken down one at a time.

If you're in a situation where you're competing with low cost foreigners on price, then you're doing it wrong. There is a huge market for freelance software engineers who are based in the U.S. and speak English (or who are based in Germany and speak German, or whatever). If you have a client who will benefit 5x+ from the money they pay you, they don't really care that there is somebody in Eastern Europe or India who will do the work for 1/3rd the cost; the overriding importance is on getting the work done well and quickly. Fluent communication is critical to this.

You just have to find the clients (the hard part). What has worked for me is making myself visible inside of my particular niche, then forming relationships with established freelancers so they send their overflow my way. Still in my first year, but this strategy seems to be working.

Seconded. You learn the hard way to immediately carve 30% of your income to a savings account that you don't touch that goes straight to quarterly tax payments.
>The banks have been pushing for a cashless society for awhile now.

Since the first loan was regulated banks have been pushing for a cashless society. Your comment is very much an understatement. It is the holy grail of the financial industry.

Because of the liquidity ratio. Banks are supposed to have 10% of their total lending in cash. This is to prevent a run on the bank.

No cash means banks can lend an infinite amount of money as they aren't bound to the liquidity ratio.

Basically it removes the ceiling from what a bank can earn as there can never be a run on the bank.
I've used Workrave (http://www.workrave.org/) with success for light RSI symptoms. It's a small piece of software that prompts you to take regular breaks from the computer. It's a bit cumbersome, but being forced to move away from the computer every now and then also has its advantages.

These are early works. He became famous for them, especially Portnoy. But Roth got better as he got older, in my opinion. My favorites are The Counterlife (1985), Sabbath's Theater (1995), American Pastoral (1997), I Married a Communist (1998), The Human Stain (2000), The Plot Against America (2004).

Also, as with a lot of (maybe all?) fiction/art, you can't disregard the context in which it was published. Some critics might disagree with this. But when you consider the socio-cultural situation, especially of Jewish Americans, Roth's work -- especially Portnoy -- was radical, earnest, and subversive. For many years, the American Jewish community regarded him with disdain.

He also often got labeled as a misogynist, which I always found strange. Although his writing is overtly sexual, it was also in attempt to make a point about sexuality. Not to glorify it.

The CD-I (along with WebTV and some other things) was the initial step of the TV morphing into some sort of Information Superhighway appliance.

After hearing about Cupertino's possible plan to shakedown companies like Apple for tax money, should we be surprised at their approach to a new campus?

I don’t know why our society hasn’t fully realized that everything is 3% more expensive specifically because of these fees. Europe at least has far lower upper limits on these fees. I hope someone is able to replace the banks here one day.
I started with the MOS 6502, the core of the NES, Atari 2600, C64, and a bunch of others. I wrote it in order to build a really simple NES emulator, and I found the chip super approachable and easy to deal with--there just isn't much to it. Documentation is easy to find, too.
You could try writing a homebrew game for an old system. That's a pretty good way to learn things.

Once you start on the emulator, the first thing you'll do is emulate the CPU, which can be done as a big switch statement inside of a loop. Knowing how to code each instruction is easy when you have an instruction listing handy.

Here's a quick example of how I would write an emulator, with 2 opcodes already implemented (6502 assembly): https://pastebin.com/raw/PhCEqh35

> everyone sells DSL as "fibre" ... This also makes it much harder for companies that sell real fibre.

Great point. FTTC is sold as a "fibre" product when it's not, really. But customers are wising up. Those that don't live right next to the cabinet know there's a difference. Also, fiber is cheaper to deliver -- e.g. in a pure-fiber setup one can get 1Gbps up and down for around £30 a month, which is a massive win compared to pricing for FTTC which has to factor in the cost of maintaining the legacy copper network.

Funnily, BT's sales team assured me multiple times that G.Fast was a fibre product and that I should "upgrade" to it (I have FTTH).

Honestly it could all have worked out just by having the hardware at home. Instead of one of each, buy two, have them shipped. It's one of the things I asked, they refused because of budget and trust.

Hindsight is 20/20, but I should have dropped it in that moment.
I know a lot of this is subjective so two people could differ on which country is "better" and both could be right, but your first point about taxation is true in the US as well - capped social security taxes and lower tax rates on investment income.

And for the rich, healthcare isn't much of an issue in the US. Either your employer pays most of the bill or you're so wealthy that $20k per year for your families insurance is a rounding error on your income.
I'd say you're missing quite a lot and are a bit arrogant. You don't mention any functional languages in your list for a start so you're missing a whole programming paradigm that will change the way you think once you understand it.

Good programmers are aware that they never know enough but also that they have to get on with solving things and building stuff anyway. They spend their careers trying to get better and learn more, focusing particularly on what is most relevant to the problems that currently interest them.
Commodore tried doing "consoles" based on their computers over and over.

The CD32 was a successor of sorts of the CDTV[1], which was based on the Amiga 500 (where CD32 was pretty much - with some minor other changes - an Amiga 1200 equivalent).

But Commodore had also previously tried to launch the cartridge based Commodore MAX Machine[2] (Ultimax, VC-10) and the C64GS [3]

I've designed Talon (my voice / alt input project) from the ground up for cross-platform scripts/configs. Once I port the OS layer to Windows/Linux you should be able to reuse mostly everything (with some app/os-specific stuff overridden at whatever abstraction layer it makes sense).

What sort of CPU load are you seeing? I'm able to dictate on battery, peaks averaging ~20% cpu. (Dragon is a different beast, peaking to >80% anytime it's over the noise threshold, so you need a really good mic to get good battery life).

I believe “paycheck” is now understood as a catch-all term for the periodic payment of wages or salary. It doesn’t have to mean a literal check - paychecks can be direct-deposited too, in which case they go through precisely the bank-to-bank transfer that you mention.

Not in my experience.
Yet according to these graphs coin production goes up during times of peace and down during times of war. Really?

Well, the republican era wasn't a very peaceful time; Rome was pretty much continuously at war in one way or another for centuries. The late republican crisis was unusual because the roman legions were fighting each other, instead of non-roman forces.

I'm afraid of the pressure happening the other way - I think open office plans reduce the chance of people trying voice programming.

I'm actually cleaning up my GitHub repos at this very moment. So much basic stuff not really useful to anyone, things that other people clearly have done many times better. Old messy code, new messy code .... but to me they're experiences and represent invaluable learning that I've done.

I look at some repo that is a mess, but I remember making widget X work and how great that felt.

When someone says they created something I always think about what they must have learned to do that something, and not so much about the actual something.

We had one of these! I fondly remember playing the CDi port of "Defender of the Crown" and a clever crossword game named "Textiles."

Philips also had the rights to Nintendo's characters for a few games, which led to the strange "Hotel Mario," in which the victory condition was to shut all the doors in a hotel. It's unfortunate that the cutscenes are so cringey - the game itself was enjoyable, and the graphics and soundtrack were charming.

I believe we had some Encyclopedia software, too, but in retrospect the UX of paper was much better than trying to navigate a 90s wikipedia with what amounted to a TV remote.

I agree in principal with what you are saying. There are certainly cases inside of FB that this could help, assuming they are not just doing simple hashing.

In my opinion, I believe they should extend their service via an API or hash database that could be used by other sites to reduce some of the group raids on FB accounts and other social media sites to improve the effectiveness of this initiative. Imagine if CloudFlare were to uptake this database and show what sites were sharing a particular file, or even allow website admins to filter such images.
