REDACTED.

>Would something like $50/hr be crazy high or crazy low?

Charge at least $300/hour. I'd say $500/hour. In France, it's more "jour.homme (JH)" (man.day). Compute your rate.

Set the precedent of someone actually looking at your rate and say "That's acceptable". You don't have much experience so it'll probably take you slightly more than the time you "bill" to actually do the job, but don't let that "delta" get big. Going above and beyond didn't hurt us.

You get more efficient with experience, and streamline your process to getting things done, document templates, your workflow, etc...

Do not think of it as "freelance consultancy", or that you're a student. You have expertise and you're solving a problem. What would happen if someone went on without that expertise? Would it mean a military plane being neutralized?

Here's something you may find useful for later, if you want to do consulting through a consultancy: https://twitter.com/jugurthahadjar/status/131066829330549965...
I worked at a place that swapped out our HP pa-risc workstations for sun ray thin client machines. I actually didn’t mind as the network was pretty fast.

The raspberry pi is a competent little computer and probably way more capable than those “sun” ray thin clients

My city is building tons of new apartments clearly meant for commuters to the nearby big cities and exactly zero of them have EV chargers despite being the most expensive apartments in town. I'm not holding my breath that new construction will do this all that soon, either.

Why are there any frames in which the sodium and chlorine atoms appear not to exist?

Suppose there was just the chlorine (no sodium), and we observed it the same way. Would we see mostly chaotic arrangements of big spheres, or mostly a smooth background with no spheres?
Ask HN: Who's Building “Superhuman for X”?
What Superhuman is doing to Gmail can in theory be done to other incumbent products.

Quality. ThinkPad, Apple, or some of Dell's premium lines won't break with life. This translates into:

- Mechanical build quality

- Choice of auxiliary components (wifi camera+chipset, etc.). If you're at a conference, you want to get connected and hook up to a projector reliably.

- Battery life

- Cooling

- Keyboard/pointer quality

- Size/weight

And so on. If you fly with a laptop once a week, whether the screws fall out from plane vibrations makes a difference.

One bad business trip, and you've covered the price delta of a half-dozen laptops. I'd never buy an over-speced, under-built laptop like the G5 SE. If my laptop is 15% slower, I care a lot less than if it's 15% more reliable.
Proof of stake coins exist and work just fine. Tezos. Ethereum.
I was told once that the reason for that was stiffness: apparently aluminum forks are stiffer, so unsuspended ones are way less comfortable (in terms of vibrations being transmitted to the frame and handlebars) than steel unsuspended forks.
I don’t use note-taking apps because Markdown is sufficient for the task, plus it’s going to outlast most note-taking apps.

Same thing for media management software: my own file system is sufficient for the task. It’s also going to outlast most media management apps.
That was the grand parent or great grandparent comment. I was replying and suggesting a warning was appropriate on the link to the story itself which gave no content warning regarding suicide.

There are many many reasons why someone is no longer with us.
The only thing is, with Bitcoin we have the numbers. The classic banking system look like a few thousend banks with thousends of buildings with hundreds of thousend computers and million of emloyees. The employees again need to eat, sleep, drive around. They have money that needs to be designed, to be printed, to be distributed. All this cost ressources too, but this really hard to put in numbers.
I use x2go all the time, I have one single big workstation, and the laptops and the "thin" machine in my lab are tethered to it all the time, even when outside, via wireguard.

I'm not surprised a raspi can do that, as I've used an antique thinkpad x201 for doing it for many many years now!
Maybe call or, "Openly Pay"?
So they've completely ignored the lesson Google taught us all 20+ years ago -- lots of cheap servers scales better than an ever more expensive big iron SPOF setup -- and which we're now all using to scale the internet. It's unbelievable to see a design like this in 2021.

What a stellar bit of incompetence.
What's the big deal? Organisations like this existed before Facebook and will exist afterwards. It's embarrassing for such an organisation to use Facebook anyway. It's like POTUS tweeting. Have some respect for yourselves.
Best way to donate home internet bandwidth in 2021?
I am having near 10gbits synchronous home internet since a while and it's idle most of the time. There are quite some articles on how to donate bandwidth but they seem to be quite outdated. What ways can you recommend to donate bandwidth to something good without needing to many resources? I would like to run this on something with low power requirements like a few Raspberry PI each serving 1gbits.

Note: I do not have any data-caps and I am not afraid to use a few gigabits continuously.
A "criminal or terrorist organisation" is one which commits crimes or acts of terror.

Your own reasoning, ie., guilt by ideological association, no doubt implicates everyone -- including you.
Naturally, you would combine any planned API delay or outage with conventional deprecation steps like updating documentation well in advance, posting to your blog, twitter and mailing list, e-mailing every identifiable user of the deprecated API, and having your account managers reach out to paying customers who use the API.
>and Scotland's ecology isn't obviously in need of them

Restoring nature to it's former self. No one would need Human Hunters if the Nature is still intact and balances itself, and sometimes Human Hunters cannot balance Nature from lets say from a mice-plague, so you have to kill them with toxic, some of them are still eaten by Owl/Eagle/Fox and are poisoned too, less Owls for the next year(s) means even more mice, so you need more toxins and the circle repeats.

Lynx Fox Wolf and Bear balance the nature and also balance each other. There are many more points why a intact nature is also better for Humans, but the Mouse sample should be enough.

If you have more hashing power you have more chance of earning a block reward to it's effectively a competition for each entity to get as much hashing power as quickly as possible. You can either make the hardware more efficient (and throw away old hardware) or increase the amount of hardware and therefore energy consumption.

I think it's hilarious that "blockchain-like" is how people are climbing off the hype train. I'm glad they're trying to find an exit, though, and I hope that lets software be blockchain-unlike enough that these systems aren't too weighed down with unnecessary constraints and costs.

For those unfamiliar, people have been trying to solve supply-chain communication issues since the 1970s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_data_interchange

The hard part is not technology. It's getting a zillion players to agree on how to use a technology together. To the extend that "blockchain [jazz hands]" ever mattered here, it was only the chance that the tidal wave of hype might sweep everybody in the same direction.
This was covered in the original video.

In short, people in Dubai like a cooler color temperature indoors, because the temperature outdoors tends to be hotter. The government is smart enough to recognize this fact, and build it into the exclusive contract they have with Philips.
Why wouldn't an aggregator service work where you pay $50 per month and it gives you access to all news sites without ads? Your money would be distributed proportionate to the views you did on each website. There could be different packages, to have different limit of articles read, this way you wouldn't have to constantly so mental calculations whether it is really worth it?

I’m pretty confident that this will work itself out, but you see the problem very clearly in Norway already. Non-Tesla charging stations are much more expensive per kWh due to this, reducing the cost-of-ownership advantage of EVs vs. fossil cars. It doesn’t put the cost in no-go territory, but it’s enough that users feel cheated and complain.

So if the established manufacturers or third-party charging providers want to be competitive, they will eventually have to think about this.
It can do. The case is more complex than just copying some original work.

No, BLM began in reaction to a hispanic person shooting a black person who was beating him up, and directly led to unprovoked and extremely violent attacks by blacks on white people, literally saying "This is for Trayvon!"

BLM does not really address the underlying problem of conflict but has led to acts of murder and terrorism in the name of racial justice.

It is part of the problem, not a solution.
No, but there are Linux RDP clients (such as Remmina) you can use which I would imagine would also work well from a Pi.
This depends on your moral framework. A large part of moral culpability is proximity. How close are you to the issue at hand, and how easy is it for you to take/not take some action. For example, worrying about poverty in a country on the other side of the world, when there are homeless people sleeping on a bench on your street. I can't possibly convince a mega corp to stop wasting energy, but I can try and waste less myself. I can't stop people from using Bitcoin, but I can try and develop/advocate for better alternatives. When all is said and done, is it better to have shrugged and done nothing, or done what was within your power to do? "All we have to decide, is what to do with the time that is given to us".

The trick with superglue is to make sure you have a really good contact between two clean surfaces. If you don't have that, superglue will do nothing for you and you're better off with something else. If you do, it's quite strong.

The annoying thing is, glues work best when you use them in the exact situation (material, pressure, etc) they are designed for, but manufacturers are really vague about active ingredients or fillers, so you end up having to buy broad-spectrum glues that are not particularly good at anything.
The grassroots organizing against American government during and following The Great Depression would be flagged and banned from organizing on corporate social media. FDR worked on The New Deal as a response to revolutionary organizing. One man's terrorist was another's freedom fighter.

The problem that the world is now going to deal with is that lunatics stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. There is a 20,000 page bill making its way through the political system right now that makes the Patriot Act seem like child's play. There is a lot to be concerned about right now.
In extreme cases you might be able to emulate arena allocation by spawning an external process, create huge object, do some work on it, throw away the process. How viable this is depends on the programming language you are using. In erlang it can work great, because gc is per process (no shared memory) and you can use green-threads; in languages with very grummy GC like python it can also be worth considering[1] even with the cost of spawning a system process. I haven't kept up to date with Net, but my guess would be it's generally not a very attractive strategy.

[1] Refcounting will be instantaneous of course, but if you have a large heap with a lot of objects and GC kicks in you can have very long gc pauses (even if next to nothing will be reclaimed).
Scrollwheels are also fantastic for giving you RSI.

PgUp and PgDn are still my preferred mechanism for vertical panning. Once upon a time they even reliably moved you up or down a whole "screen" of content.
I think Google Cloud requires less domain-specific-knowledge, which is a big plus. And, as a consequence, you're less likely to end up with an expensive and complicated mess.

But if price or performance or user privacy is a concern, none.

I'm a big believe in dedicated hosting. There's tens of thousands of options. Not affiliated with any, but in the past/present what I have/am using and would recommend: webnx.com, reliablesite.net, hivelocity.com, hetzner.com, ovh.com (and their other brands), leaseweb.com we're currently considering phoenixnap.com for a warm-standby DR site (but no experience with them yet). Also, Softlayer pre-IBM acquisition, but that's just sour grapes.
I don't have a good recommendation, but the article linked was written by someone promoting their solution[1].

Future Trends of 2021 – Decade Defining Trends
So maybe the pandemic was an Extinction Rebellion coup?
Well, my point was that public charging demand per EV will be much lower than fuelling demand per fossil car, which obviously affects the number of minutes per week each vehicle has to spend at the gas station/recharging station, and hence the feasibility of gas station owners to install charging infrastructure.

I’m sure there will be exceptions, e.g. in sparsely populated areas. And I don’t think market forces will make drop-in replacement the primary solution, but it will probably be part of the solution.
No but I think installing something like https://guacamole.apache.org/ could work well.
The BBC content on BritBox should be free for all UK residents, seeing as we paid for it to be made via the TV Licence and shouldn't be asked to pay for it twice. For this reason alone I will never subscribe to BritBox, and encourage other people (in the UK) not to either.
Most software isn't cpu-architecture specific though. Switching from ARM on AWS to x86 on another providor is likely to be quite straightforward.
I have some perfectly safe code using them that crashes Intel icc. Useful if you ever need to, I don't know, crash icc I guess.

Among other things, this means icc doesn't run other compilers' testsuites, because I reported the same bug in the first release of clang and clattner fixed it right away.
We have something similar in France with a magazine (paper and online) that has the same business model ("60 millions de consommateurs").

Their independence/neutrality is the key differentiator.
Have two cams on the edges instead to avoid this and calculate an average image. (Or even use it for stereoscopy)
Absolutely. Modern MCUs are phenomenal. More powerful than mid '90s top-end PCs. Add some external SDRAM and storage, and they have more and faster memory and storage as well. C++ is perfectly good. Better than all the nasty C macros in the vendor HALs, if you replace that nastiness with some type-safe enums and inline functions. There's plenty of capacity for running Python or Lua as embedded scripting languages even on smaller variants, both of which wrap C++ nicely. I'm fairly new to the embedded world, but so far it's been mostly a pleasure to write code for a variety of TI, ST and Nordic MCUs; some with C, some with C++.

I do see why people like C for embedded use; when it comes to hardware interaction you have complete visibility into all of the interactions with special registers. Looking through the disassembly when debugging is nice and straightforward. But C++ does this and more, so long as you don't go overboard with unnecessary complexity. It's fine with a bit of self-discipline, and all that extra bounds checking and such is of value.

Show HN: What Bitcoin Meant to Be
One of my favourite day dreams is imagining what, in 20 years time, will the Adam Curtis documentary on the Coronavirus be like.
Maybe he meant classes (metaclasses)? Class itself is not typed, which definitely feels like a missing feature in the language.
Bitcoin can be used for making transactions on the Bitcoin network, and to store information permanently on the Bitcoin blockchain. Here are examples of applications.

Industrial applications of gold as imaginary as those applications of Bitcoin are. You can use other metals as conductors, and the whole notion of a specific arrangement of molecules being called “an appliance” or “a jewellery piece” is just human imagination.
This is not a law of nature, it is history as it unfolded in the twentieth century.

Even media can be described in a similar fashion, a lot of them promote content that generates the most clicks - which is often biased and polarising. There are sides to every discussion. I am no fan of google's data collection policies, but at the same time cannot refute the value they have created as a company.
An electrobike is a substantially lower electrical load than an electrocar. Many existing residential buildings can't handle adding a EV charging spot per unit (probably needs a 100A breaker each).

If I were a betting person, I'd guess that somebody with social connections to Cargill (e.g., an ambitious executive) took advantage of the blockchain hype cycle to sell a pilot project to credulous executives.

I presume it's getting open-sourced now because they've given up on the idea of closed-source domination of the industry, and this is the hail mary attempt on the part of the technologists to save the project, or at least to have something good on their resumes by the time the project funding runs out.

By deleting my social media accounts. Used to have some accounts with Facebook, Twitter, etc for less than a month to see what the fuss is about and what 'I'm missing out on'.

It turns out that there's nothing interesting other than the carnage that happens on there quite frankly. So yes, deleting both of them was a great move.
If I look at HDD sizes and CPU "performance numbers", it doesn't surprise me that 5nm doesn't mean the actual transistor size.
Out of curiosity, what's the use case for such a one time shell?
True, and this is precisely why they did it - this way they reap the benefit of any efficiency improvements. If their tech improves, it costs them less to build a "300 mile" car, rather than the buyer simply getting slightly more miles out of a 90kWh car.
Steam is available in China, but it's a separate "instance" ran independently of worldwide Steam with a curated list of AAA games, so without the abundance of content and freedom to publish for everyone.

Generally if you want to publish in China I'd say either "don't" and just release a Chinese localization in global stores, if you think that you will have a target audience in China, or find a huge publisher that will help you out.
Haha.... HN traffic killed the server but anyways the new offering from Raspberry in indeed a great microcontroller from projects.

You are still thinking as though someone can 'choose' to go back in time and kill themselves. Choice has no bearing on it. Either something happened, or it didn't.

It is still consistent that a cause is needed for an effect, so an effect cannot eliminate a cause.

You're just describing something that can't/doesn't happen. There are plenty of rules that describe things that can't or don't happen in space.

You wouldn't have any concerns with me saying it's impossible for me to go to the bathroom in my own house and when I walk out, I am in your house.

> I would be very scared if the electrical utility company started looking at what i'm using the electrons for, and start disallowing certain types of uses for their electrons.

The energy companies already do disallow certain types of use for "their electrons" (check your contract, seriously - domestic users are forbidden from certain uses) and with the advent of accurate monitoring thanks to 'smart meters' are able to enforce that much more easily.
