If you're in familiar territory, the product is well defined and the customer is reasonable - go for project billing. An example would be implementing some low level function for an embedded device. Anything you know is going to only take a few hours, bill per project (unless of course it's an extension of an existing hourly contract with a customer). Anywhere there's upside or difficult circumstances (such as unreasonable timeline due to external requirements, such as an upcoming event or demo), charge per project.

But to be in that position you first need to build a stable revenue stream and that happens more easily with hourly consulting.

However, the order of books in Alastair's Revelation Space series doesn't match up with I found on Goodreads

https://www.scifibooklove.com/book_series/revelation_space/
vs

I recently started the series and went with Redemption Ark as book 2 (according to Goodreads) Hope I'm not missing too much going with the Goodreads ordering :/
I think every one of my comments has mentioned this keyboard. IMO, it's the best keyboard that was ever made and I'm seriously considering buying one on ebay (along with all of the stuff required to plug it in to current hardware).
The original, as documented in the hacker dictionary, is of course RTFM (read the f...ine manual).
Not sure it’s the origin, but it used to be RTFM (read the fucking manual).
Black people aren't predisposed to commit crimes more often than anyone else. It is just that a higher percentage of them grow up poor and/or with just a single parent, which are factors in likelihood to commit crimes, which leads to higher incarceration rates, which just feeds the beginning factors. When you control for economic status and parents, white people have similar rates. The factors that make it more likely for an individual to commit a crime are outside of their control yes, but committing a crime or not is always an individual's decision that can't be blamed on anyone else.

racism can be "better" now overall, yet also be present in forms that make the absence of black fathers more prevalent than in the 60s.
What Is the Keto Diet and Does It Work?
A couple of notes: (1) even when adjusting for the 'crime rates' the sentencing lengths and the conviction rates for white vs black are way off and (2) the whole war-on-drugs things should be read as a 'war on people of color in all but name'.
> Yeah right it’s the government taking black men at random in the street and putting them in jail

Well not as cut and dry as that, but cops harassing black kids walking the streets is an old tradition of law enforcement. Mix in some stop and frisk and you have an unfair system. I remember I made friends with some black kids in high school. I went down to their neighborhood. It didn't take long for a cop to pull up and start asking questions. I never had a cop approach me before that. It was eye opening. I lived only a mile away.

> laws...which are the same for everyone.

Oh really? Are you sure about that? There are many studies showing that black people have higher incarceration rates for the same crimes as their cohorts.
It's not surprising that a career politician doesn't know anything about programming or coal mining.
Any piece about writing will violate its own rules. I think this could be a law ;)

This is because writing is hard. It is just like coding, in the sense that I can revise it three times and still find ways to make it better the fourth time, or the tenth time.

So no writing is perfect, but I think I can often tell when a writer has read the right books (like On Writing Well). Every now and then an article will jump out to me as being 10 times more lucid and concise than the norm --- even though it's still imperfect.

Also I think the rules are not black and white. There is some judgment needed at every turn. Sometimes you will want to bend one rule to preserve another, and people with different tastes will either praise you or blame you for how you make the call.
Intellectual Property Protection for Artificial Intelligence Innovation
You, and everyone else who makes this argument seems to blatantly dismiss the tooling around Android, specifically Android Studio and the layout preview panel. The person you are responding to is talking about editing UI layouts in XML, using the preview panel, without building the project at all.

Everyone loves to talk about "hot reloading" and obsess over reducing build times incrementally as if that's the only way to develop anything faster. No matter how fast your "hot reload" is, it'll never beat the layout preview panel in Android Studio, which is directly rendering your xml in real time, without compiling or building anything.

I very much doubt this because only recently has it been possible for parents of the same sex to adopt, let alone evaluate their performance as parents and generalise it. I would very much love to be proven wrong, however.

That being said, the issue here is not the gender of the parent, but rather single parenthood. A working single parent interacts very much little with their kid(s) in comparison with an atomic family.
> Progressives consistently caved to their demands under threat of violence.

Say what? The progressive movement was born of using science to build a better society, including eugenics, abortion and other means of slowing the growing population of blacks.

Edit: this was not to say that conservatives were free from prejudice or fault for systemic injustices, only that there were no blameless hands, least of all those involved in the Progressive movement:

Africa has "absentee fathers" in the Black community at the same rate as the US today, and likely for the same reason: that's just how children are raised by that culture.

High rates of Black "fathers at home" during the Jim Crow era in the US was due to unethical cultural domination of Blacks by whites.
"Surprisingly, this variety has less to do with the quality of the institution and more to do with the quality/preparedness of the student."

Possibly. But there is an enormous range of institutional quality, from diverse, not necessarily elite or even large, schools to the ones existing almost entirely to absorb GI bill and scholarship funding and maybe provide job training.

> and noisily in the console.

This is true but not necessarily helpful because what the console is often noisily complaining about is cookies from Google properties and the like.

For many cases where I'm not making use of those cookies myself that's simply irrelevant... noise: what I need to understand are changes required for my own cookies, on which the console has remained silent. Also, not something I'm going to be paying attention to if I'm debugging something unrelated.

(I'm not saying the console is a bad place to show these warnings - far from it - but there are plenty of reasons people might not spot them.)

I found out about the changes a while ago through HN but even that was months after the announcement was made. I don't closely follow announcements from Google simply because the vast majority of them aren't relevant to me. That being the case it's quite easy to miss things, or find out about them further down the line via another source.
I'm noticing no mention of virtual environments/venv. This is something I notice a lot of (Python) junior data scientists and data engineers struggle with. It's very important to set up environments properly (and following best practices) to avoid version collisions, global scope pollution, etc.

Great work, though! I'm also using bookdown (I instantly recognized the template) for a book I've been working on and it's a pleasure to use. Would love to see a blog post on how you marketed the book and how your sales are doing once the ball gets rolling!
I found it interesting that a town of 100 had a runway capable of landing a 787. Was it built specifically for these kinds of scenarios, i.e. as an earliest diversion point for trans pacific flights?
To clarify: the Supreme Court did not say that assistance could not be restricted to single parents. The "Man in the House" rule said that a woman was not single if she even had a boyfriend who was not her children's father, if her boyfriend ever visited her house. That's the part that was struck down.

As for the restriction to single parents, I can certainly see the potential for unintended consequences. Paying people not to get married means fewer people will get married — just as paying people not to work, as the "welfare cliff" effectively does, means fewer people will work. I broadly support the idea of helping people who need help, but it needs to be done in such a way that it doesn't tend to trap them in their situations.
Interior mutability to always seemed like a hack around the borrow check and type system instead of just fixing those parts of the language itself. If the single mutable borrow idea isn't working out so much that you need to have idioms like interior mutability, maybe you should relax the requirements or provide a more direct of doing this.

Why not introduce a new borrow notation besides const and mut, add a multimut or something that makes it very clear instead of these hacky solutions.
Already responded to a few other similar question. Absolutely not what I'm saying. There are lots of factors driving the different rates, and black people are just on the wrong end of a lot of the trends. My original post was probably more snarky and should have had more background to what I was thinking, given how many people have asked questions like this.
Why Your Uber Ride Can Cost as Much as a Plane Ticket
They didn't happen in a vacuum. The U.S. is suffocating Iran. The sanctions doesn't allow anybody in the world to have any commerce with Iran.

I was fully onboard with Obama's sanctions. They had a clear ask: Stop the nuclear development. Everybody understood it and is was clear.

Iran agreed to JCPOA and stopped any nuclear development.

Why is Iran under sanctions now? They have given a list of demands and it's basically a big fuck you to the Islamic Republic that is never going to happen.

If someone tries to suffocate you, you are going to kick back.

I'm not a fan of Islamic Republic. Fuck them. But at least during the Obama administration, the immediate threat (Nuclear development) was stopped and there was a dialogue. The two countries had direct lines of communication and even helped each other out fighting ISIS.

Reformists in Iran gained credibility and power, and slowly Iran could've gotten back to a democratic path.

Now, reformists are cast out and have 0 credibility with people. Hardliners in Iran have power. And they are being suffocated, so they kick back by attacking ships, drones or tankers or arresting innocent people.

I don't know. Is the symphony worth it?

Let's say you never saw a baseball game before in your life. You know nothing of baseball. You come to visit me, so you and I go out to the baseball game.

It would make no sense at all. Who are these people? What's the stick for? Does everybody get to run at the same time? Why do they keep changing around so much?

I, on the other hand, would be fascinated, enthralled. Each player has a backstory, the history of these teams playing is involved and dramatic. And did you believe those calls? It was robbery!

It's not the baseball game, the game is the same for both of us. It's the preparation and expectations that define our differences.

Books are a particular form of artistic expression. For fiction at least, I would argue that they involve a physical object you manipulate in various ways to hear a story conveyed by an author. It's an experience. You have a special reading place, you might have a favorite beverage, there are things you expect from various genres, and so on.

E-books and online reading are a separate art form, at least in my experience. For instance, the average video viewer only watches a few seconds. Content online has been optimizing around realtime reader stats for many years now. It's a separate art with its own separate genres.

I would argue that there are certain things you can experience from a symphony that you can't from a music streaming service. But it's not for everybody. Without the background and preparation, without the context, it just seems so much of a waste of time. And perhaps it is for you. It's for you to decide.

The only thing I'd add is to not make the mistake of confusing art with information. The net primarily exists to move information around. Art primarily exists to be experienced. They sound the same, but they're not. A good author can convey feelings, thoughts, and opinions to you in a book that you'd never get from a thousand wikipedia articles or blog entries.

I have never heard of anybody getting cured of depression by a self-help book. Congratulations with your amazing recovery, but it seems it wasn't due to a self-help book either.
> So yes, for non-fiction books are not worth it. Once someone learns to be skeptical (which, by the way, the old "books are sanctuaries" approach will not teach) then Internet is the way to go.

I agree. I have been reading/listening to 60+ books a year (~60% books, 40% audiobooks on Audible) for the past 3 years, and I rarely find a tech book more valuable that a collection of blog posts of authors that I already know and trust. I actually find that a good blog post with many insightful comments has much more depth of a book.
A nice exception would be one of these short books by O'Reilly (https://gist.github.com/augbog/d65f6600188fece854cb341734c5f...). I always reach for them when I want a quick overview of a technology I'm not familiar with.

Many other non-fiction books - e.g. almost all self-help books - are also not worth reading, and you could summarize them in a few pages.

A few tips:

- try Audible if you don't find the time to sit and read a book. I always listen to an audiobook when I go for a walk or do some light exercise.

- read book summaries with something like Blinkist (https://www.blinkist.com) before deciding to read a book.

- don't feel guilty leaving a book unfinished. If it sucks,
or if it starts repeating itself, stop reading it.

- in the case of a non-fiction book, always take notes.
But it wasn't privileged.

Ask HN: How do you choose where you want to work?
Let me preface this by saying that I recognize that having choice in where you want to/can work is an incredible privilege. Senior Software Engineers, especially those in Silicon Valley have a huge amount of opportunities available to them.

What frameworks/mental models do you use to sift through all of these opportunities and choose what's right for you? How do you avoid analysis paralysis?

I work for a company whose endpoints end up being embedded in iframes in external systems, and this change is currently causing no small deal of heartburn for several folks here.

I really don't like that the Powers That Be have decided to make this change, for many reasons:

1. Changing the default behavior of a thing on the 'net that's been around for so long. Like the article says, I can't wait to see the various and sundry things that are all broken as a result.

2. To set SameSite=None and get back to the old behavior (more on this in a second), you need to do... user agent sniffing, because some browsers (as the sibling comment by swang says) will choke on None and fall back to Strict. Great, so sometimes set SameSite=None, sometimes don't set it or else things will break. eye roll

3. As the article says, SameSite=None is only allowed on Secure cookies, which means you actually can't get back to the old behavior. Now, my company has been telling people for years to stop using HTTP (and customers have to contact support to even get HTTP support enabled). However, there are a few enterprise-y holdouts. In several cases, we've had to go be the bearers of bad news. Albeit, there is an undercurrent of glee in finally forcing them to stop being bad stewards of data (assuming they don't just enterprise-policy it away), but still, from a business perspective it's very frustrating.

So, in sum, it'll break stuff that's not updated (my guess: a lot of stuff), setting SameSite=None requires a user-agent-sniffing hack, and even setting SameSite=None is not a complete solution if you're using HTTP for some reason.

And for what, exactly? This would've been nice in 1995, but it's a bit late now. Though, I guess maybe twenty years from now we can rip out (or stop writing) some anti-CSRF code or something.

> It is not ‘privilege’. I was the potential contained in the passed on genes of my family and they wanted to make sure I didn’t squander it. So they created the best environment for me. I had the added bonus of a large joint family which meant that the family was a miniature village of aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins, nieces and nephews as one family unit. Single parenthood is tough. I wish society would stop telling people that it’s easy. Community can take the place of family. Just don’t hand it over to govt that needs to be elected to maintain power and status quo.

That is quite literally the definition of privilege. What you call potential contained in the genes of your family is a myth. For whatever reasons, your family happened to be successful, but genetic fitness isn't the sole reason for their success.

What you characterize as the elasticity of youth is also privilege btw. Kids from many backgrounds aren't able to survive pitfalls, the safety nets that privilege creates is what enables those who have it to continue their success while others are penalized heavily by institutions.

> Community can take the place of family. Just don’t hand it over to govt that needs to be elected to maintain power and status quo.

In a democracy, the government is representative of the communities it governns. Again, you and should rely on both: community for setting principles and culture, Government for securing law and order and maintaining peace. In the current situation, the Government is actively hindering many communities by heavily penalizing mistakes, setting those communities back by a lot.
