IMHO the books being advised here are too high level. Its like trying to read about Computer networking basics from RFCs. Some advise are equivalent to searching for a reason to learn "C" by appreciating what can be done with "C" by reading books on Linux Kernel programming.

I will mention a few books which by no means are undergraduate level, but are per-requisite for undergraduate level study. Are you thorough with books given below? These books are available through http://gen.lib.rus.ec.

1. Higher algebra - Hall and Knight
2. Trigonometry I - Loney
3. Coordinate geometry I - Loney
4. Calculus of one variable - Maron

Download the books and check if you already know all those. Once done, then go for the higher level books most the people advising here.

MIDI is - and should be with future standards - simple, slow and reliable: Musical Instruments don't need much/many volume/types of information, so writing the drivers should be fairly simple.

Having said that, some midi to usb converters are still not up to full compliance with the 80s MIDI 1 standard
Boxing is the canonical example of a sport in decline. It went from most popular sport in America to a minor sport today.
If only it were that simple. Consider the lifestyles. If you're willing to live the same lifestyle and same environmental conditions, the same diet variables could potentially lead to similar lifespan.

But in lieu of the same conditions, the logic to consume same diet isn't that sound.
Product Management Skills NO ONE Talks about
For soccer it’s trivial to remove the aerial aspect from the youth game, in fact they’ve already done it. No headers, no throw ins, etc. Doing so doesn’t do much to change the game at a youth level.

Football on the other hand... it’s pretty much impossible to take the CTE risk away without ending up with another sport (rugby, Aussie rules, whatever).

IMO the long term viability of US football is not good.

Embedded micro controllers are very common these days in a wide range of ICs most of them aren’t disclosed or accessible to their users their sole role is to abstract the physical IC and present what the customer expects this can be things like timers, flash memory or even microcontrollers themselves as well as more complex ICs that need to ensure some defined PHY like network or serial controllers.
There is lots of opportunity out there, but it depends on what you mean by ‘small business’. Super small companies (under 10 to 15 people in this context) are usually best off with SquareSpace or Wix. Companies slightly larger than this invariably end up wanting/needing things that these platforms can’t offer, and have the kind of budgets that can support a solo operator or small team.

At this level, you are competing with advertising agencies and marketing firms. Or you can turn those ad agencies into your clients - many don’t do the kinds of volume to support an in-house team.

I did well over 200k last year building, fixing and maintaining WordPress websites, working from home in a region with a relatively low cost of living. I expect to do even better this year, though I have resisted the urge to grow via hiring - I prefer to pick and choose my projects and be exclusive. My clients are a mix of agencies and “mid-size businesses”. I turned away another 50k of opportunities that didn’t feel like a good fit.

Beware though: success depends on more than just being able to build nice websites. You have to know how to sell yourself, manage customer expectations and a whole slew of soft skills to position yourself as a trusted advisor and expert. You need to understand your customers business, their challenges and pain points, how their customers think and behave, etc. Etc.

Right. A common thought among small business owners is "I should have a website because everyone else does." The details
like content freshness, design aesthetic, or site speed don't even matter. So long as my-business-name.com goes somewhere familiar. But this line of thinking escapes the opportunity to drive business over the web.

In my experience, there's plenty of money for the consultant who teaches a business how to stop settling for their website as a commodity and start seeing it as an extension of their "brand".
> The kind of clients you want to work with will pay this without blinking. Sometimes they won't even know about the bill because it goes straight to AP.

I agree #3, but on #2 - I've never dealt with any business of individual who operated like a blank check ("just send the bill to AP"). They all have budgets - implicit or explicit - and all want a rough idea of range at the very least. Is this a $3k project or a $20k project? They all have a need to know up front. You can sometimes tell up front - you get better at it - when people are going to complain about it more.

Told someone on a project they were looking "in the $2k range, at $x/hr". Sent a bill for $2200, and they flipped out. "You said it was $2000!"). Well.. no, I emailed you that it would be roughly in the $2k range, and if it was going to go much outside that, I'd let you know beforehand. I got you your project done 3 days ahead of when you wanted as well... blah blah blah.

Written agreements up front with clear expectations, etc.

More to the point on money, working with people where the money is coming directly out of their pocket (vs an operating business where there's a budget, and the person you're dealing with is simply managing a budget) will take you much further. IME, most of the people you work with where the money is directly from their pocket will watch every nickel and take $9 of time to explain a $2 expense.

This isn't to say you should pad billing or rip people off by any means, but... taking hours to explain how web hosting works, and that no, we can't build a custom ERP system on your godaddy account that you prepaid for 4 years in advance last week when you bought your domain name, and that if this really is a "million dollar idea", you will need to spend more than $200 for an MVP. All of that is low-value stuff you want to figure out how to avoid.

No it's a bit more primitive than that. :)

For basic IDS, it's a Python program I wrote a few years ago which does a recursive wget over my entire website, then generates SHA256 hashes of each page. Then it compares the hashes against the previous scan, and emails me if there are any changes. For very dynamic websites this doesn't work very well - luckily my site is almost 100% static so I can just whitelist the few allowed changes to prevent false-positive alerts.

I also monitor my DNS and WHOIS for changes, so that if my domain or DNS is hijacked, then I hopefully will know about it more quickly.

No. Most people used Wix and Squarespace now.
Normally it really isn't about caring for the overall good of country. Politicians competing for voters all care about their country, or at the very least have to act as if.

In this case, it is different, because Trump cares more about his "win" in this issue than about the country. Or even about winning reelection, because everything is pointing to public opinion being strongly against what he is doing right now.

However, the nation is hurting badly under the shutdown, and it is going to get worse. Even so Trump is blamed by a majority, and thus "politically" losing more, at some point the democrats will have to concede that the only way to stop the damage is to give in.

But by then, there will be no doubt in most voters' minds that Trump fundamentally doesn't care. And this makes him unelectable for a larger majority and may even pierce his senate-armor against impeachment.
The difference is that it's not 99.5% accuracy for the entire experiment but for each of the millions of spots, which means there will be hundreds of thousands of spots that are not accurate in each chip. Not an apples to apples comparison.

I don't see why you couldn't flag! Are you sure?

If we speak of biases that way, then I'm not sure there's anything outside of bias. This site has a bias towards a particular kind of discourse. It's not that Twitter doesn't have discourse, but it's a different style. Topics like this one can be quite controversial and flamewar-style, and Hacker News readers have a bias against flamewars. It's not that flamewars aren't discourse, but it's not our preference here.

Yes, it's only one venue, and it does reflect its users (and its history and its conventions and its table-based layout, etc.). How could it be any other way? Something that's a detriment to thoughtfulness and civility is when we project our own opinions onto the canvas of “bias” constituting the mechanisms of discussion which are invariably present. It's never what we think, and always a projection.

This is supported by the fact that everyone perceives moderation, flagging, etc. to be in support of the opposite side. Has anyone ever complained, “Boy, this really confirms my existing view without adequately representing what I disagree with. How biased!”.

Sorry for the rant! I'm of course generalizing and addressing more than you've actually said.
Most of the value these websites were providing has been supplanted by various other services.

I no longer need to scour through some crappy website for opening times etc. because it's on Google Maps, even a photo of the menu on Google Maps is a much better experience than any restaurant website I've ever visited.

If the site needs interaction with customers it's probably better off with Facebook or WhatsApp.

You joke, but I was in this exact position on Wednesday. It's natural to think that web consulting is dying or that there's a race to the bottom on pricing, until you come face-to-face with the level of ignorance many business owners (even successful ones!) have about technology. The world of business software is mysterious to many people. And while it's easier than ever to build a solution that replaces clunky .xls files or (worse) paper -- that can still be a major hurdle for someone not familiar with it.

I think the solution to OP's question is to see yourself as not just a developer but also a tour guide. Educate your customers without judgement. Teach them why what you do matters (translation: market to them!) Lots of people won't see the value and will never pay $100+/hour. But some of their competition will. And that's how you build a consultancy of your own.

Experience increases with age. That is also a concrete biological fact. If you want to claim that your argument is based on fact rather than opinion, you need to prove that the factors you mention outweigh experience. I don’t believe it’s true, and certainly isn’t proven.

> This year it was quite unusual as the current was extremely slow, the water was very warm and you could see that there is significantly less water flowing through. We always talk about climate change but feeling it in ways like these makes it very relatable and real.

One data point (i.e. a year) should not be taken as a sign of climate change. There are always outliers from time to time. When drawing such observations it is more relevant to track exactly the state of the river over extended periods of time (20, 30 years at least) so that you have a real sense of what is happening.

Resistance in the face of totalitarianism is an ongoing imperative; please don't think that I am unsympathetic.

Rather, I am just reporting that the way that I come to peace with the aspects of emergence of technology that are out of my control is to have faith that something incredible, natural, and evolutionary is occurring.

+1 for pointing out that soft skills are as important as the technical aspects of what is mostly a small project consulting business. Self evaluation for soft business skills can be difficult but one (obvious) metric is how often do you get continued work from existing customers. I would also say that concentrating on helping current customers is usually a better strategy than constantly chasing new work.
Absolutely. Same reason I stopped doing custom ROM for my phone. Growing up is hard :(
I think it’s the opposite. Because I care about people, I’m concerned about how they’re being treated by an authoritarian regime.

Many of the ideas that have made dystopian science fiction chilling have been implemented in China recently as well. I wouldn’t call this FUD, but paying attention as fears become a reality for others.
I don't know where you're located, but the situation is about the same here in Sweden. If you know how to sell yourself and get a nice network going you can be a one man army making enough to be in the top 1% of earners nationally.

But, consulting pays about the same, and since the contracts are usually for months if not a full year the situation is a lot more predictable.
> they are supposed to be judging you, remember?

It's actually supposed to be mutual judgement. But I agree: be respectful if you decide to drop a remark about the relevance of the question. There are enough reasons to treat people with respect even if you can afford to turn them down.
Please read the rest of the comment thread. I cannot simulate that in that way. I want to live in a world where all income over $100K is taxed at 70%, because that changes the housing market, because the housing market is my biggest motivation for making more money. (And it changes just about every other market, too.) I do not want to live in a world where I alone lose 70% of my income over $100K and nobody else does. That's not even a tax.

How does what you said apply to the situation we're discussing?
I’ve been at this since the ninteies. At the peak I was getting $2500 for a ten page Drupal site I could do over the weekend. These days you can get a ‘custom’ programmed site from a guy reselling the services of an Asian programming group for $100, so how are you supposed to compete? I have made some money ‘fixing’ those sites, but for the most part my business is dead agaist things like Wix (Ugh), or Goddady Site Builder. I still make money extending those sites when the business wants to do more with their Web presence than the basics, but essntially there doesn’t seem to be any way to convince the more frugal clients to spend ten times what the site builder guys charge. I have had some success selling functionality. I offer a basic, ten page Drupal site, with additional charges for added functionality, but you’ll never be able to charge more for adding pages. I will even advise a prospect to go with those services to start with, just so I can be a good guy, and have them remember me when they need more.

Someone once gave me the advice to never offer a discount. You can do things for free, but never discount anything. If you do, you’ll end up discounting everything.
