Do you want to do it as an independent or with a consulting firm?

If independent, go to Trailhead.com setup an account and start getting some badges (there's a lot for Apex)/ developer certifications (Platform Dev I is a good one). They're kind of a pain, but relatively straightforward and are a good, in ecosystem, way to show prospects you know what Salesforce is.

If you want to work for a firm and have development experience, find a Salesforce consulting firm you like, and see if they'll hire developers who don't know Salesforce. Many will since Salesforce devs can be hard to find.

Working on Salesforce can get a bit wonky at times (like any platform), but the primary back language (Apex) is a Java derivative and will be vary familiar to anyone with Java or C# experience. Front end dev work uses web components which are similar to react. Overall I like it since the platform takes care of a lot of boilerplate and lets me focus on solving the actual business problems. My email is in my profile if anyone wants to reach out and talk about it more.
Different priorities don't make OP disingenuous.
If you want to run a mostly free software stack and Emacs, LineageOS is definitely way worse than PinePhone [1].

Alarms do work, OP just missed the apps that make it possible: https://linuxphoneapps.org/categories/alarm-clock/

Regarding connectivity: This really seems to depend on the hardware revision (OP's braveheart edition was the first available to the general public), the proprietary bits of the modem firmware, your carrier and maybe a bit luck: I am having less connectivity issues on my PinePhone than on my iPhone 13 mini. Seriously.

There are many which are less modernly advertised (usually paper/newsgroup/email) that will draw 100+ people easily.

Including planned events with participants in the dozens, Id say you could count at least 100 a year. I'd consider that since that's the population of smaller tech conferences.
True, but the cotton gin only made processing cotton more efficient. It didn't help in actually growing or harvesting it. So unfortunately, more efficient processing did encourage more production by manual (slave) labor.
I am located in germany, work as a fullstack dev with frontend focus (react/vue). I have about 6 years of total dev experience[1].

For full time projects I charge 90-100€/h (+19% VAT) and I exclusively take on remote projects. When I started out at as a freelancer at the beginning of 2020 my rate was 80€/h.

If I was approached with short term projects(as in less than 160h of work) I would charge significantly more but that hasn't happened yet, usually I get booked 3-12 months.

As it turns out my yearly net income is significantly higher than that of my employed peers in
every single project I have worked so far since the market is so starved for devs and I never had any downtime between projects. Sometimes I wonder if I could ask for even more given the market situation but I also feel somewhat overpaid tbh.

[1] I learned programming on the side during my bachelor's in physics. During my master's I started working for a consultancy at night doing webdev while researching quantum computing and machine learning for my master's thesis. After I got a job as a full stack engineer after I finished my degree but I quit that job after about a year to go freelance.
But, for such a satellite phone service, Apple totally could make a SMS to iMessage gateway, or even just a web interface where non-apple users could log in and see that someone had sent them an iMessage.

Obviously Apple will make the process as painful as possible to encourage buying iPhone.
What kind of work if you don’t mind me asking? And do you get embedded in a team like their other engineers or solo?
Perhaps we could fund HN by issuing NFTs for each poll response.
True.

But I think more importantly, there will be no demand until someone makes a RISC-V CPU that can actually compete with Intel, AMD and Apple on performance.
The rule of thumb estimation number I've always heard for calculating a salaried job's hourly rate is 2080:

365 / 7 ≈ 52 (weeks) * 5 (work days per week) * 8 (hours per day) = 2080 hours per year

Given that very estimated number, vacation, holidays, and sick time all count as extra benefit.

One convenient aspect of this number is that if you go ahead and factor in 2 weeks of PTO/holidays/sick days, then the number of hours actually worked drops to 2000. That makes the mental math tremendously simple, albeit not 100% accurate: 100k salary / 2k ≈ 50 per hour
They're ready to launch their test satellite in the next few weeks and are already building the capabilities for the next satellites in the constellation. I'm watching them carefully as it looks like they're going to be able to do it.
It is hard to find a full tutorial on how to build a full SaaS product. There are many small tutorials on how to use React or Django. There are very few examples how to combine both of them (simple todos apps).

I'm working on tutorial how to use React and Django to build SaaS for server uptime monitoring. The tutorial is starting from scratch and shows all steps needed to build a product and deploy to the cloud. The SaaS is running at https://monitor-uptime.com

The frontend is created with TypeScript in React. The backend is done with Python in Django (Django Rest Framework). The service is deployed on AWS with docker-compose, nginx and Let's encrypt.

The tutorial is not fully ready. Looking for early users interested in the content. I'm offering 50% discount for early supporters.
Another take: Maybe many of us in software have enjoyed a long run of productivity driven by open source availability. That productivity is now baked into many software cultures (who doesn't assume they can use industry standard libraries, outside of very sensitive environments?) and an expected part of what programmers can do.

Imagine turning around 40 years in and telling business folks "Oh crap, actually we're only 20% as effective because we've been ignoring glaring security, maintainability, and social issues around FOSS that we've simultaneously benefited from for decades".

Feels like some golden handcuffs to me!
The lead acid capacity numbers are a bit of a lie, though. With Li-ion, you can use 80-90% of the nominal capacity. With lead acid, if you do that with any regularity, you will quickly destroy the battery. Lead acid likes to be used in a narrow SoC range around 100%.
There will be ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22/WG 14 meetings as well as those for national mirror committees like ANSI X3J11, there isn't much point in having a conference outside this standardization process.
I happen to have practiced patent law at a large firm for 2 years with clients like Google, Apple, and Facebook.
Yes, I said "many of which are Labour yet have the same issue" i.e. it's an issue with local governments of all stripes. There's a culture of spending more than tax levels allow then expecting central government to make up the difference.
From your provided information and the current comments I would guess it is a spam campaign that targets the audience of the website it scraped. One could flag it as spam or if so inclined, create a free account on SpamCop [1] and submit the headers. Some smaller sites directly use SpamCop, UceProtect and Spamhaus and many commercial products us some of their data feeds behind the scenes to assign spam scores.

It may be useful to create a throw-away email alias for their public profile and further obfuscate it in a manor that much of the HN crowd could easily decipher. e.g.

How far have you gotten into it? What's your impression?

I started reading it on the subway (so, 10 minutes at a time). So far it feels overly repetitive. And the evidence feels very cherry-picked -- though I don't have the relevant expertise to know for sure.
That sounds like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox, and in fact the article has this snippet: "The expansion of slavery in the United States following the invention of the cotton gin has also been cited as an example of the effect.[12]"

Winter air tends to be much drier than summer air, so much so that my bath towels dry on the rack in the winter overnight, but may stay damp for a whole day in the summer.

That said, water will condense at heat bridges (?)(poorly/not insulated parts of the wall) in the winter, causing mold, if the place is poorly insulated.

Once you know people have a problem with it you lose your justification, you can continue sure but now you know you'r the asshole. It's harder to knowingly be an asshole than it is to be an asshole and lie to yourself you aren't.

I read a neat article recently that talked about the "Dubai Lamp". They're lightbulbs that Philips makes for Dubai that are twice as efficient as their standard LED bulbs. The difference is simple: LEDs are more efficient when run at lower power, so by increasing the number of LED elements in the bulbs and reducing the voltage across them you get 600 lumens for 3 W. For reference, California requires lightbulbs to operate at 80 lumens per watt or higher.

What's the alternative with some high power lights aimed at a non-LED sign? I'd expect for similar brightness the power usage is going to be almost the same. Maybe even more because you're relying on reflected light rather than emitted light.

> not clear to me that there is a plausible and equally viable alternative path from an organic economy to an industrial one that doesn’t initially use coal and which does not gain traction by transforming textile production

Here, in a nutshell, is an explanation for great power competition. Societal advancement requires step changes in productivity. Leaps in productivity require proximity to means of production. Production requires resources, and resources require access. Access is competitive. Competition breeds conflict, creates winners and losers, and fosters its own forms of advancement and innovation - often at terrible humanitarian short term costs.

Nevertheless, being a winner ultimately means your society persists (Great Britain), and being a loser means your society expires (Roman Empire).

> In particular, the way Nix handles record syntax is exemplary and more languages should copy what Nix does in this regard

And even more related to this discussion:

In 2G GSM there was this limit, because GSM used very strictly managed timeslots for each call. If a phone was too far away, its signal would arrive out of bounds of the timeslot and this was the reason. The protocol didn't have any compensation built in.

However 3G and onwards were based on CDMA tech (which was the competing 2G tech to GSM), which is very different. CDMA doesn't have strictly managed cells, but rather the basestation picks the signals out of a cacaphony (very simplified). So the same issue doesn't apply.

2G was much more static than CDMA, it had a strict capacity of a number of calls per cell. But the range (up to this 30km) was pretty good because when a phone transmitted the air was clear. CDMA cells used to 'breathe': Have much lower reach during busy times (because weak signals could no longer be identified) so gaps could drop in the network. ON the other hand, 2G got busy with a fixed capacity.

2G did have prioritisation though when the network was full. If you called 112 (the international emergency number) it would kick someone else off to make space for you.

Stable Diffusion was finally enough to push me to install drivers for the NVIDIA 3060 on my laptop which has sat completely unused (never powered on once I figured out how to not power it on!) since I got it (I’d have preferred no dGPU at the time, but wanted other features of the laptop that are just about never sold without a fancy dGPU for some reason). Pretty hefty requirements, as a casual layman, even though I know this is smaller and more accessible than just about everything in the past. I think I ended up at around 9GB downloaded (which will cost me almost $2 in concrete terms) and 23GB of disk space used (including things like nvidia-dkms, nvidia-utils, cuda and python-pytorch-opt-cuda; all the relevant Arch packages came to about 14GB).

I’m using https://github.com/basujindal/stable-diffusion to run it since I only have 6GB of VRAM.

I’m having fun. But I haven’t had much luck getting it to draw the quick brown fox jumping over the lazy dog; a few steps in there are often the shapes of two animals, but it is consistently reduced to just a fox after a bit more. Extensions to the prompt (like reminding it that there are two animals, and trying to separate the two concepts) can improve it a bit, but it still tends to forget there are two animals, or if it gets two, to draw two foxes, or a dog–fox hybrid and a lazy fox. I imagine I could vastly improve my results with img2img and giving it a basic sketch with placeholders for two distinct animals.

It also has a surprisingly poor idea of what an echidna is.

I bet you could raise your rate quite a bit. I'm 20y exp mostly typescript and front ends these days but very much a polyglot background and I run up and down the stack all the time.

This doesn't seem necessarily true to me. If Magnus was in his prime in say 1980s it's not clear if he could ever get so close to 2900 since every other super-GM had lower ELO which would make his progress slower than now. Not only do we not know how an average 2022-super-GM compares to a 1980-super-GM, we also don't know how Magnus compares to an 1980-super-GM. E.g. Tal achieved his peak ELO 2705 in 1980, but at that time Korchnoi had an ELO of 2695 (diff of 10), whereas, Magnus currently has 2864 and #2 Ding Liren has 2808 (diff of 56). But Magnus' peak rating of 2872 is 30 less than Caruana's peak rating of 2842 during the same time.
That's not what valid means in this context.
Are you really claiming Nix has boundless complexity?
Which (I think: I just read the abstract to try to check) makes the important point that a key property of gyms is that a lot of people buy gym memberships because they think they "should" go to the gym and it feels like they have made some progress in their life if they have a membership even if they never go to the gym; it thereby can feel like you've failed or that you have given up if you cancel your gym membership even if you realize you have never once actually gone. I don't think MoviePass has much hope of working like that, at least for any appreciable number of its users. Most of the other pass systems that work try to get this preferable usage ratio by making it SEEM like a good deal but then having so many restrictions on its usage that you have no real hope of ever using it in a way where it made financial sense (with bonus points if you can make it so hard for users to even figure out they are being screwed that they don't cancel).

I guess a question I have with gyms: has anyone tried to make a gym with a "pay by the visit" model?
I never really got this reasoning.

I didn't mention COVID. You're focusing on COVID vaccines because that is the anti-vax cause at the moment.

It's the case with ALL vaccines that they don't provide 100% protection. They are still incredibly useful for preventing infection, reducing the severity of disease and preventing further transmission.

Btw, vaccines work by clearing infection quickly, not preventing infection. The virus infects you and begins to multiply. Whether your body has the antibodies to recognize the virus determines whether you will suffer from illness or be well.
They say that Glicko 2 is more accurate than Glicko 1, and they reference a kaggle leaderboard. On that private leaderboard, I only see "Glicko benchmark" and "Real Glicko," so I don't see how they made that claim. I find it dubious that Glicko 2 would be more accurate out of sample.
EA managing to shift its annual sports titles to a single game with updates on a subscription model would at least be more honest than asking people to buy a whole new game each year at least.

I tailor my price quite a bit based on what I want. At my best, I feel I'm worth about $200/hour. But I like to work with very early stage companies, and they rarely can afford that. Plus, I've entered into a stage of my life where I just find it hard to really push myself. I like having a relaxing job that I don't need to think too hard about, i.e. I don't really feel like being worth $200/hour. So these days I've been varying between $50-75/hour.
