I don't employ full-stack developers much so I'm not speaking from wide experience but that seems extremely low to me.

I think you should double what you're charging. I'd shoot for $100 and not go below $50, probably end up with 70-80.
What's "reasonable" depends on cost. Suppose I have concerns about eye strain. Is it reasonable for me to demand that my employer install skylights? Probably not. Is it reasonable for me to demand a brighter desk lamp for my cube? Probably so. And when the cost is negligible, I don't think I should need a doctor's note; "I want a brighter lamp for health reasons" ought to be enough, even if my concerns are based on nothing more than a Facebook post I read.

The crux of the issue, then, is whether the cost to OP's employer to allow OP to wfh is negligible or not. And I am assuming OP's position would be that their performance last year proves the cost is negligible, not that they demand an accommodation despite the cost.
Apple Monitor Found in Landfill Restored
that's likely not even remotely correct. for someone earning in that range, i'd expect more like 25-30% (including health insurance) - should be less if/when you start to work at tax reduction.

I've been solo contracting for > 10 years and have never had to pay anywhere close to 50% in taxes/insurance.

This seems tangential unless you have per-user permissions on your front door lock (which people may if they use NFC, etc) but even then, likely have a regular physical key as backup, which for all intents and purposes would be akin to the root account.
I'm 63 and for me the answer is simple: more self-awareness. I am aware of what thoughts my emotion is in response to. I am aware of how my emotions are cascading other emotions and triggering feelings based on memories of similar circumstances. I am aware of how my emotions are affecting the people around me and how their response is feeding back into my thoughts and feelings. Finally, with self-awareness comes the meta-cognition ability to debug and reprogram my thoughts and feelings. My emotions are often based on something that is not quite true, so stepping back and looking at truth based reality calms them. I developed this ability only recently. I honestly think I was sleepwalking through most of my life being driven to and fro by thoughts and feelings that were difficult to understand.
Yup. I think this is a case where “all of the above” is the best answer.

Store less data, store it better, and make loss of control of that data less important.

Although we can’t store nothing, and we can’t store anything perfectly, and we can’t make everything legal, we should try to maximise each of these objectives.
And cheap. $99/mo for competitive data service literally anywhere is amazingly cheap.
The document on Switzerland said that at a federal level the ability of the people to remove laws forces representatives to proactively compromise with possibly offended groups of people before passing a law, knowing that enough signatures could force a vote to stricke any given law (I believe that a double majority is required to keep any a federal law, something about a majority of people in a majority of cantons). Similar powers exist at the local levels, also.

I would think that this would tend to force issues that are not agreed upon down to a more local level, which doesn't sound like a bad thing.

However I do not disagree with you that the scale California often operates at may be too large.
There are other costs to weight other than cargo capacity, both for freight companies and society as a whole. More frequent maintenance, slower speeds, inaccessible and/or altered routes, more accidents, more wear on infrastructure.

There isn't actually a distinction. In both cases it's the super-ego, the internal representation of "public", that's the ruleset for what's good and bad. Pride is about judgment (and self-judgment) by the super-ego. You could argue that if you're alone it's not destructive, but I don't believe that.
That's not what bailout means...

A mouse is also a microphone
I wrote a small tool to amplify mouse movements. Modern mouses like the Logitech G502 are very sensitive, and can easily pickup vibrations and sound, acting like a microphone.
In the repository is the tool, and a quick video demonstration of capturing audio with a mouse.
But I don't care about the good parts.

I'm asking about the bad parts.
To put things in perspective, based on recent experience my company has had getting specialists with 15-20 years of technical experience to work on a fixed-term contract (anything from 6 weeks to 6+ months), $250/hr would be considered a steal.
In my corner of Europe (Portugal), sites can get blocked at (ISP supplied) DNS resolution. I think it's by court order, under a law passed a few years ago. Mostly for copyright reasons, and circumventable by switching to Google or similar DNS, for those in the know - it's not the great firewall, but it does prevent "anyone" from going to "any website" right now.
Its always struck me how badly "contractors" are treated in the US.

I would be paying about £25 weekly or £100 a month for an umbarella company if I went contract in the UK at a £800 day rate.

And for experienced professionals like the OP a day rate is the better way to go
What? Ubuntu Touch is an OS. Flutter is just a GUI framework, like Qt. Not sure what you're trying to say.
> The document on Switzerland said that at a federal level the ability of the people to remove laws forces representatives to keep this in mind and compromise with possibly offended people before passing a law, knowing that enough signatures could force a referendum requiring a double majority to pass or the law may be stricken by the people (something about a majority of people in a majority of cantons, I'm a little fuzzy on that from memory).

I don't understand what you're trying to say. This is also true of California. (Well, not the part about representatives worrying about it, but all that that demonstrates is that the claim you repeat is not true. The ability of the people to remove laws isn't forcing representatives to do anything.)

The end result is a little bit different. Docusaurus builds an SPA, page state is preserved when navigating and it makes it easy to interleave React components inside your doc.

I have also been very impressed by their speed and would like to know their secret. They were founded in 2016 and I have only noticed this speed of iteration in the past 6-12 months.

Python 3.5 was declared end of life in September 2020, so it makes sense for library developers to drop support for it as well. Something like Flask 2.0 may work in Python 3.5 (I haven't tested it myself), but it isn't worth the developers' time to guarantee that support for a language version getting no support upstream.

How to access your local server without port forwarding
Some notes:

- in your embed code snippet, you have `There was some porblem uploading the sheet` -> the word "problem" is misspelled

- the embed code includes https://js.csvbox.io/script.js which has two console.log debugging calls which could be removed in production

- when adding columns to a new sheet, it would be neat to be able to paste the header line from a CSV file and for the columns to be created (this wouldn't help with the Column Type or Required options, but at least the Column Name would be set/wouldn't have to be typed one by one)

- also, when adding columns, it would be great to press the enter key after typing a Column Name to save/close the modal

I agree with most other commenters' feedback re: pricing, especially https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27133717 i.e. making the Sandbox much more generous. I was surprised to see only 5 rows imported initially, and thought it was a bug on your side (i.e. I thought only the first 5 rows were parsed)

Maybe illegal is too strong of a word, but in practice "the market" demands much safer cars than it did 3 decades ago, and that costs money.

If you build cheaper cars but nobody can insure them economically, for example, you're not gonna get a lot of takers.

I'm not a huge fan of Dialyzer myself. I would put it strongly in the "much better than nothing" category rather than the "usable and useful type system" category. I always write specs for my functions and types, and while they sometimes catch bugs, they're not quite as expressive as I would like them to be.

I suppose you could write Elixir in a style that was more type safe by writing in a less polymorphic or recursive style, but the language does not lend itself well to it. Structs and maps are mostly fine, discriminated unions less so.
Yeah, I mean there are lots of web components out there, but under the hood they are div hell and css hell.

"npm i --save @lion/input-amount"

This isn't directed at you, but I shouldn't have to use npm to build a webpage. Also, building web components out of css/div hell severely impacts performance when you have a long scrollable list of them.

And most of these web components might look nice but they don't support native touch/swipe gestures in exactly the same way that the OS does.

I tried the Lion tabs component on my phone and I can't swipe between tabs. Probably the most utterly basic UI gesture. Fail.
FWIW I make similar, less pre-tax but more post-tax, though with maybe a third of the experience.

I’ve seen the comments about “just go to FAANG” and it’s one of those odd dualities I see on HN. On some threads, I see comments full of how their interviews are IQ proxies and how FAANG only hires the best or top X% so it’s not viable for most devs. On the other hand there are plenty of comments that just suggest casually walking into a FAANG job. So which is it?
Thank you for the clarification :)
Which is a terrible, terrible plan.

"When goods do not cross borders then soldiers will."

Trade keeps people from trying to take things, and when they take them, they prefer to take them off of corpses. Isolation leads to jealousy and we're already isolated enough.
All the fundamental behaviours (movement, combat, resource harvesting) are implemented in C.

The engine uses Python as a scripting/config language. You can use it to hook into a lot of events pushed from the engine core (unit got selected, unit started movement, unit started harvesting, etc.) and customize or change the unit behaviours.
Did you see all of the side effects from the vaccine vs the placebo? Here it is in percentages:

* Redness 5.8 vs 1.1

* Swelling 6.9 vs 1

* Pain 86 vs 23

* Fever 10 vs 1

* Fatigue 60 vs 46

* Headache 55 vs 35

* Chills 28 vs 10

* Vomiting 3 vs 1

* Use of pain med 37 vs 10

Only 1100 kids in the study and only 660 of them were followed up at least 2 months after the 2nd dose. These numbers seem unreasonably low.

This means that hundreds of kids had worse reactions than the placebo. All of this to prevent 11 symptomatic cases. I couldn't find the prognosis of these 11 symptomatic cases, but its highly likely that all of them were mild. To me, it seems like the overall health and well being of the vaccinated group was less than the placebo.
Don't attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

A previous job made us track our hours so that we could "improve estimates," but mostly it only made people unhappy.

I'm not sure if I'd call it a low point unless you're simply describing your personal taste; I think there's far from uniform concensus that Scotch romans (and other "modern" faces, like the didones) were a mistake. I mean, Georgia and Miller (both by Matthew Carter, who also did Verdana and Tahoma) are both revivals in spirit, used for body copy, and they're less than three decades old.

Modern non-military jet engines are designed with high pressure ratios around 50-60 to get good subsonic cruise efficiency.

For a supersonic jet, a lot of the compression is done by the intake, so the compression in the engine must be much lower, around 10-20. This is why off the shelf engines don't work very well for supersonic.

The concorde used a pressure ratio 11.3 from the engine, but combined with the intake it was 82 when at cruise. This actually made it very efficient at 43%. During taxi and climb-out however, the low pressure ratio made it a real gas guzzler.

> VS Code feels performant enough, with its complex functionality

VS Code has an entire dedicated team that only works on VS Code. They can spend resources on trying any trick in the book to make something performant. Whenever actual performance is required, well, they ditch DOM and go for canvas: https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2017/10/03/terminal-rend...

And while sufficiently complex, it actually displays significantly less complex information than required by a regular document that will have any number of fonts, layouts, inline images and tables, references to other documents, etc.

> I believe it comes down to strategic design that avoids unnecessary layout and reflow events in the UI.

Yup. And it's nearly impossible to do any amount of "strategic design" because if you as much as glance at a document, it will repaint and reflow: https://csstriggers.com
This seems groundbreaking, honestly. This is only going to help bridge desktop and web applications.
No it’s not.

He’s pointing out an unspoken assumption that is incorrect.

Namely, that a creature’s intelligence has any bearing on how they ought be treated.

It obviously doesn’t.

The most intelligent animal of all is routinely enslaved, overworked, and discarded.

Thus, the assumption is not as universally accepted as many posters suggest.

Arguing about the relative intelligence of insects or cows or dogs or horses or whales with the end of concluding by that we ought or ought not eat them is silly. If it tastes good, people will eat it. Likewise, if someone is good at making iPhones or picking cotton, that’s what they’ll be forced to do regardless of their IQ.
You can still be a consumer/buyer, like me. Together we make the world go round and around.
