I have been trying to do this, and my biggest problem seems to be actually finding clients. After exhausting my social circle asking for work, it seems really hard to land a client. I am not even able to get anyone on the phone, and all emails are ignored.

Any suggestions?

On a serious note, Doing sales is more of establishing a relationship and then pushing the sale. All of these "how to make 100,000 by writing a book" types, they will just start with pushing the product and hence a very low or zero chance of sales.

If you are good with talks and building trust/ relationship, sales will happen eventually.

I was in the same situation. I have done CRUDs for years and finally got longer projects (2 years). I am now facing much more techy problems : recommandation engine, OCR, search engine, simple geographical functions, etc.

It is much more fun, also much more complicated.

My first take would be to learn ElasticSearch, to get a new superpower (it is how it felt to me) and compliment your CRUD expertise. My 2 cents.
You can use it to buy stuff, like property, or gold. That's an almost equivalent investment.
I guess, if these massive ERP apps have high repeatability factor, then there is case to be made to treat it as such (cattle).

You would definitely benefit from doing general backend side projects and reading before reading this book. I don't think you'll have enough context for it otherwise.

However, the book is definitely relevant to mobile applications. The backends for all the most popular apps are built with systems described in it.
When you get decently good at one thing you discover there are no recipes. There exists an infinite possible issues that can disrupt a working system and applying a few canned solutions is lottery.

If you are looking at issues as a linear scale, for example a bolt from too tight or too lose, "making sure all your bolts are tight" (common tutorial type of advice) is not a very good thing.

Similarly, "how to stop procrastination". First thing I would ask somebody who would come with this to me in my field is "why do you want to stop, what are you actually trying to achieve?". Is the customer sure he should stop? Maybe he is overworked, maybe his job sucks, and solving procrastination would actually make his life worse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem This is just one example of the many questions that should be asked before offering solutions.

I'd say that most of our politicians don't have any of those. They might be career politicians, but if they didn't become politicians they would have had a working class career. You can't say the same for many American politicians.

> Branded as such? What? I'm constantly pestered by messaging which is telling me to get involved in these issues.

You are also constantly bombarded by messaging telling you not to and to focus narrowly on short-term self-interest, from the opposite side of the political spectrum.

The one you view as “pestering” is just the one you haven’t internalized.

The UI for this feature barely even exists in Firefox -- you have to make a bookmark, and then edit it to replace the query with %s and add a keyword. There is also the half baked "one-click search engines" thing, but the button to "find more" just redirects to the extension store.

The Chrome UI is somewhat better and it also automatically creates these when you use a search somewhere, with a keyword equivalent to the site's domain.

I don't know why Mozilla doesn't just copy this old Opera UI: https://i.postimg.cc/1XCg1HG8/opera-search-edit.png
Jobs is the one who killed the Newton when he returned.

Apple could have launched in iPhone like product years ahead of when they did if they kept that branch of the company afloat. That would have been a real 'visionary' move. Instead, they were forced to differentiate themselves in a crowded marketplace by emphasizing little design flourishes and style.

Job's only real contribution is managing to gaslight (a.k.a, his "reality distortion field") the entire industry into thinking he had any real insight or ability beyond that of a typical middle manager with a cluster-b personality disorder.
In isolation of any constraint new things are always worth playing with and trying. I know I am certainly more biased (hopefully in a mostly good way) now than I was when I started in tech. Your thought strikes me as Very similar to when someone shares some hobby project they are working on and someone else doesn’t get it and states: “wow, you must have a lot of time on your hands”. So I do try to take new projects seriously while at the same time balancing time constraints. It’s hard :)
Good point. I used Spark and DataFrames at my last job just because the data I needed was conveniently available in that environment. Using a high-memory single server seems better on general principles, until your data won't fit.
Looks great, how do you compare to other alternatives in the same space?
I doubt that can be used as differentiating factor of enterprise-grade..
> We should require our legislators to more clearly articulate and value externalities from a given policy and identify groups it creates negative externalities for, and how they should be compensated (or why they do not deserve to be compensated).

I wonder if this could be a potential remedy for the issue of modern legislation paralysis:

We have lots of modern problems, we often know what are some effective solutions to these problems, and are unable to implement any of them because every solution imposes some kind of externality upon a group with sufficient political power to lobby against it.

For example: building dense housing and public transit in a boom town. It's generally agreed that this is the only sustainable end state (more housing with public transit to offset traffic) and yet we end up with total paralysis on every front: In the rich neighborhoods, nobody wants development to disturb their idyllic suburban life. In the poor neighborhoods, nobody wants a flurry of investment dollars to drive up prices and push out renters. Nobody who drives wants tax dollars on transit, and nobody who uses transit wants tax dollars building more highways. The cycle continues.

> Statins will stop the production of CoQ10 by lowering FPPP production which is why they fail to help people with Heart Disease

I would like to know more about this. I've been on a statin for several years and feel like my energy has dropped through the floor in that time. I also feel like I have a 'statin hangover' when I wake up in the morning (I usually take it with my supper). This could all be correlation, and aside from cholesterol levels I haven't been diagnosed with heart disease. But I would like to know more, because I hate taking this stuff and really don't like the idea of being on it the rest of my life.

But that is a completely different topic. Licensing is an issue, yes, but that is part of the upfront decision process.

In this day an age, this many years into open source licensing, if your team is not on top of that from day one, they have failed as a team.

I worked at Bell Labs from the mid 1980s to 2000, and by early 1990s (1992? 1993?) they already had a full internal team dedicated to open source licensing issues, including training and consulting. That was 27 or 28 years ago. Before some of the developers on this thread were even born.
Having spent a good deal of time working in a dogmatic data driven entity component system very similar to this one, I'd like to point out that while it's very aesthetically pleasing to write code like that, it's not necessarily more productive or pleasant than a more conventional 'entity's behavior lives on the entity' approach.
Man, I'd love to get this but that price is steep. I just hate how small smartphone displays are in general and how constrained multitasking is. Say I'm chatting with somebody and I nerd a source for something I'm arguing. I need to switch from the chat app, browse for a while, copy, switch, paste, keep typing. And if I need more than one, that's a whole lot of switching back and forth which is fairly slow and tedious and breaks the context I'm in every single time. Doesn't just go for chatting. Sometimes I'm writing something and need a reference. Switching back and forth every couple of seconds is unbearable. If I can get away with it, I'd rather pull out my tablet, but I also don't always have it with me.
A long text very well written in which he nuances the notion of freedom and in which he attacks the free software foundation claiming that the FSF does not understand these nuances:

"Indeed, the entire Free Software movement seems like a typical failure of appreciating these kind of trade-offs when it comes to freedom."

I find this extremely pretentious and very poorly argumented. I wish I could mod down this article. This looks like the beginning of an FSF smear campaign.
Has it been confirmed that the servo team got fired? I read rumblings about this on twitter. If so, that is very sad.

You'd think Google would be wise to that since they do that themselves.

E.G. When they caught Bing copying them... https://www.wired.com/2011/02/bing-copies-google/

And they definitely do it with maps. There is a tiny little village I visit in rural Roscommon each year. Each year a new major retailer appears to have opened in this 500 population village, well according to Google Maps that is. At the moment there is a branch of New Look situated on a farm down a single track country lane.
Thanks Ken. It's more ops focused. I'm overseeing a project and want a degree of visibility to see the pulse, velocity, and work distribution across multiple repos. Think of it as a way to get a snapshot. I'm looking at some of the tools you suggested and your own tool. Thanks.

How did you get your genome?
I might be failing to comprehend something, but I don't think you and D895n9o33436N42 necessarily disagree.
What quantity? With a traditional fab process it costs a million dollars to create the setup for your chip, but once you have that the cost of each chip is five cents. I suspect that there is basically no setup costs for this but each chips probably runs in the range of 100 each to make (I'm guessing here, but it looks to me like there is a lot of labor watching the printer). If you need only a few chips the printed process is cheaper, if you need millones the traditional process is cheaper.

> It didn't give a choice to map some partitions to just a mount point without formatting and some others were simply not visible.

Yeah, I got it. I've just wanted to get a more deeper explanation of your existing partitioning situation - I've set up RHEL derivatives on some very vague partitioning variations. Never thought that there could be the problems. Maybe it's just a GUI limitation?
That's kind of what No Man's Sky did, isn't it?

I personally don't think this is true. I worked a lot with C++ before and I'm still confused by the syntax and logic behind some concepts like (just randomly selecting some links from the dynamic memory group).

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/remove_extent
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/shared_ptr
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/polymorphic_allocat...

I think the basics that are similar to other languages (data types, basic pointers, basic references, classes and OOP) are indeed easy to learn as they are basically the same in most programming languages, but the more specific memory management and weird syntax around some standard libraries make it harder to learn, use and read. Let's be hoest, correct C++ code usually looks ugly and verbose.
It's not just that some people demand it, it's that some PDF use cases require it. PDF is often used for semi-complex forms, and while of course you can design forms that reflow for mobile/HTML, the results are often... not great.

The meta-UX point is that a fixed layout allows you to use spatial relationships to indicate how fields are related. This is such an intuitive thing even inexperienced or amateur designers tend to do it by default.

Reflow doesn't allow this, and with some forms, reflow can literally make the layout - and the content - incomprehensible. There are workarounds, but it's often impossible to create a dynamic design that has the same mix of information density and spatial hinting as a static layout.
What alternatives come to your mind?
I'm looking for a solution like that and would love to get some insights.
> It is not possible to add a new dependency in less than afternoon because you need to evaluate alternatives, test it, learn how it works, make sure it's not accidentally GPL, etc

For a small module that would take less than an afternoon. Checking a module license takes less than it took to read the comment.
I would start by getting your full genome run, or at least get it from Ancestry. Then learn how to look at the low frequency SNPs. I am lucky as I live near UNC Chapel Hill that has several departments looking into this stuff.

The supplements came after I saw my genetics and from past anecdotal experiments. But maybe start by understanding the electron Transport chain. When I saw all the oxidative stress created there I began looking at the several pathways for the flow of O2- and H2O2. To me, mood disorders have their root in this flow being unobstructed.

Riboflavin ended up being big for me for several reasons.

Keep in mind, mood disorders are polygenic, may causes, so for you it might be something with Monoamines or what ever.

I wish doctors would get serious about testing for these deficiencies in people wit mood disorders...
Does anyone actually know how these transceivers work? Is it software or hardware? They can pass an amazing amount of traffic and I’ve never had them crash.
When I learned to touch type a few years ago, I found it really useful having the letters on the keys so that when I messed up I could look down and make sure my fingers were in the right places and get going again quickly. Eventually after a week or so practicing, I had the hang of it and no longer needed to look at the keys. So I'm not really sure what blank keycaps achieves.
AI has been beset by problems of racial bias, and is currently only open to corporate giants. It makes perfect sense to try an manage core AI capability as an NGO exactly the same as it makes sense to manage an open, free browser.

I wonder if there is something to be said for not using Ethernet in something like this? Perhaps it is possible to make a kind of IP over GPIO interface, or attach them all directly to a USB bus?
It just seems to me like RasPi -> USB -> Ethernet (for less than 1m) -> USB -> RasPi has a layer or two more than necessary (and I believe the on-board ethernets on RasPi are USB interfaces to the chip too).
Could be an interesting project...

There was a period when many scientists and engineers were convicted on some bogus anti-soviet charges and jailed. Then Stalin realized that many of those were world class people with unique talents and knowledge and they were allowed to work in their area of expertise but in jail like but somewhat softer conditions. In 1953 after Stalin's death the practice was eliminated (took few years).

I might be talking shit, but one solution would be to make the clients find you instead of you finding clients. Make them want you, see you, look for you. You can do this by being active in the relevant social circles/platforms while being respected by your fellow programmers. It's hard to learn how to market yourself, but if you do it well you can easily have clients reach you.
