Freelancers nowadays pay hefty amounts of money in forms of commissions and hidden service fees to the platforms they work on – further pushing them away from selling their services at affordable prices.

Kuoob is a great freelancing platform for those who want to get cheaper services while ensuring that all the money they make goes into their pockets. It is also a great way for customers to get cheaper services without having to worry about commission fees.

at Kuoob we not ask for any commission fees. we provide all the features that FIVERR, and UPWORK provide while ensuring it is extremely cheap for all freelancers involved. Kuoob users do not need to pay any commission fees, all they do is pay an upfront price of 1$ a month.

How does Kuoob compare to others?
It ensures that that freelancers can get all the money they make with no differences, without any hidden charges, while ensuring customers who purchase the service from freelancers are getting cheaper services because freelancers don’t have to inflate their service because of commission fees.

Overall, Kuoob provides a win-win situation for both freelancers and customers alike. Freelancers can provide their services to thousands of customers without worrying about their money being siphoned into service fees, and interested individuals who are interested in hiring freelancers are assured that they are paying the best price for a certain service without considering commission fees.
Not quite, WebView2, which has the benefit of not dragging Chrome with every single application.
Why?

1. Rust is growing in popularity, and a compelling GUI solution is needed

2. These solutions take significant time to incubate, so many of the ones we're seeing emerge have been incubating for months or years, started at a time when there were fewer options.

3. The implications for cross-platform app development with Rust are profound, and offer us a way to break free from the pain-points and shortcomings of the local maximum solutions du jour: Web + Electron and Phonegap-style WebView mobile apps.

Shout out to Dioxus. It's a react clone that provides a really nice experience and can run a web GUI faster than React can. That's quite the accomplishment given the disadvantage of having to use shims to access the DOM.

If you want to choose a single language that can create native GUI's, Rust is probably your best or only choice. Other languages are lacking a good story for either the web or for iOS but Rust works well on both.

UWP is deprecated, althought it keeps being the one mostly used on Windows 11, as WinUI still isn't up to its game and keeps collecting issues across all their repos.

Windows App SDK is not a GUI framework, rather the new marketing name for Project Reunion, the porting of UWP runtime infrastructure on top of standard COM without sandoxing and application identity.

> The only possible reason you want a stable coin, rather than dollars, in the first place is because you're doing something that requires you to route around US financial regulation.

This reeks of US centric privilege. Very similar to "the only people that want privacy are criminals". There are plenty of countries that you can't access UD dollars that would prefer to hold them than their own currency.
It's actually better if you have immutability here, languages which try to instead have a single variable for the values, mutating that variable each time around the loop, get into some trouble.

Compare Rust's for loop:

for k in 0..10 {
// k is an immutable variable, brought into existence for one iteration
// next time around the loop that's a different immutable k
}

Versus the C for loop:

for (k = 0; k < 10; ++k) {
// k is a long-lived mutable variable, we can change k inside the loop and it'll remember!
}

We can tell Rust we want a mutable variable, if we want, but it's not the same:

for mut k in 0..10 {
// k is a mutable variable...
// but still brought into existence for each iteration
// changing will work in this scope... but it won't last
}

I use a custom Python preprocessor for Advent of Code (n.b. I don't come very close to winning). It definitely beats writing pure Python for me but given that I only use it once a year it's hard to keep all of it in my head. So YMMV, I guess.

IMO, high-speed competitive programming is part knowing your tools well, but also a lot about coming up with abstractions on the fly very quickly. If you watch the top Advent of Code solvers they'll carve up the problem in seconds, and they're really good at picking just the right amount of complexity for the problem at hand and not investing any more than that. Coupling that with a touch of cleverness ("let's eval the input", "who needs a tree when I can shove everything into a dictionary") and a very low error rate (I would hit the leaderboard but almost always lose a significant time to debugging…) and they come out on top.
As others say, this varies, but there is enough brick construction that at least the author is quite wrong to say this:

Why is this insanity? Almost everything in real life is time dependent. I think this is just insanity to devs who want to fit the world to their data model rather than the other way around which is how it should be.
You're just making an argument that you don't value freedom as much as others, and that's fine. It's just not relevant to the point. The point is that by definition freedom is incompatible with democracy. In democracy, state power (the proxy power of others over you) only grows. That erodes freedom, definitionally.

I have no interest in convincing you to become an anarchist or a libertarian or whatever, I was just correcting this false notion that the two can be compatible long term. They are oil and water, over time the separation between them grows.

A few years ago there was a real boom with many small soda companies/startups popping up to challenge the Club Mate hegemony with their own Mate brews. Many disappeared again but some did stick around, so there is still a good variety in Mate vendors.

There are still many rather small operations too [1][2], so entering the soda market doesn't seem to be that hard compared to other things.

> I really think that Flickr has unrealised potential.

One thing is that Flickr's geographic search/exploration feels like it was Frankenstein-bolted onto the base site.

The geographic search would be interesting and fun if it worked well, but its current implementation just feels... weird?... and non-functional.
Email would fit that description too I think. I can talk SMTP over telnet manually, but most people just want to crack open Outlook or Gmail and fire off a quick reply.

Something that uses RSS but doesn't go on about using RSS would go down well I imagine. It works like this for podcasts for example.

Same with mastodon and all the other decentralised stuff. Nobody cares about the nerd bit! Market to the mainstream and let hackers hack. The only thing you need to do differently to improve things is reject the desire to wall up your garden when you're succeeding.
Drywall does provide structural strength. While it may be easy to to punch a hole in drywall, it is very hard to cause it to fail via shear. Think about a square made of wires. You can push on it and the joint's angles will deform from 90 degrees.

Now, if you nail a piece of cardboard to the square, the corners will stay square when force is applied because the cardboard resists that force. You could even use paper and get the same results.

Either that or a place near one of the poles where you get water and lots of sunshine. A small fission reactor is a handy thing to have, however.

A lot more solar panels, or wire loops harnessing Jupiter's magnetic field and Europa's momentum, etc. Fission is still cool for that.

Now we enter the nuclear fission territory. Maybe fusion, some day.
Nice project, I'll give it a try if I feel at some point that the mpv script that I use and modified a bit (webm.lua) isn't enough.
This can be very useful for platforms where rustc is not available due to LLVM not supporting them. Take a project, build it with rustc, and if it builds, you know it passes the borrow checker. It is then safe to build it for your actual target with gcc. This would limit the outcry when some software adds a dependency on Rust, like the python crypto thing of a few years back, or the Linux kernel.
It kind of makes sense. You can then have a mix of large and small area codes. A small number of large cities and a larger number of small towns. The problem of course appears when an area starts to grow...

No, far less for me.

2000-2019: unwell (flu, cold) 2-3 times a year.
2020-2022: not unwell a single time, 36 months counting now.

Context: I now travel on public transport once a month vs 20 times a month. I work from home and not a busy office with meeting rooms. I socialise less. I exercise less (I walk less per day). I eat about the same quality. I sleep more. I get less sunlight. I'm happier.

My view: it's all down to much reduced exposure to the poor hygiene that the public practice. Whether or not there is "more of it about", I'm only exposed 5-10% as much as I previously was.
Here's what I learned in life that's applicable to many areas, this being one:

Not sucking isn't enough. Even being "Great" isn't enough. And even being "amazing" just isn't good enough to be successful. You need people to notice and care and help you and carry you to success. Mediocrity with a lot of public and positive reinforcement beats quiet greatness. Truly great things die every day from lack of attention and the willingness / motivation of others to help you carry that greatness forward. No greatness succeeds on its own, despite how great it might truly be.

Engineering is all about working with constraints. Most of these are technical, but some of them are and should be ethical.

If the product of your engineering directly enables unethical actions, yes, you should bear some of the responsibility for it.

As a footnote, the rationale:

1. I'm unlikely to adopt something proprietary for this sort of use. Lock-in is bad, but it's especially with a startup which can disappear tomorrow or pivot who is holding my key data. Open-source means if you disappear, I'm alive. I don't trust you, and open-source mostly means I don't need to.

2. With open-source, pricing which is more than the cost of AWS + engineer makes no sense. I'd rather host myself. However, the labor costs means that AWS + engineer gives a lot of potential profit margin for you. I'd much rather not run servers myself.

3. A cut-rate competitor will have similar per-customer cost structure as you, but you'll have somewhat higher fixed costs. For me, paying a little bit more for the reliability of going with the most competent vendor is an obvious choice (which you would be, by virtue of having written it). I wouldn't consider a cut-rate vendor unless the savings was very significant.

4. Not in my current job, but in past jobs, I'd gladly pay for service and support on top of that. A lot of things are cheaper for you to do (or explain) as the author / expert, than for my guys to figure out themselves.

For this to work requires a certain economy-of-scale. That requires deep VC pockets to get to profitability, or a good beachhead (e.g. a single big customer). There are many single big customers, but I have no idea how you'd build that connection. Most are in oddball industries, and not companies you'd think of.

For example, a few years back, I interacted with a major military contractor who specializes in manufacturing, and has no competence in technology. They did many billions in business, and had just paid a few million for a semi-incompetent tech consulting firm as an acqui-hire to try to build basic tech expertise. Outsourcing everything to you would have been a far better decision for them (and for many companies like them) if they could find you and vet you, and vice-versa (probably with a strategic investment as well).

They were very good at what they did, but what they did was very much not tech or software.
I looked into this a bit for classic Macs (8MHz 68000), and found that they didn't have the computing power to complete a handshake before the timeout was up. I could be wrong though, and maybe some faster implementation is possible...

I'm a retired software engineer and now I have time to indulge in an electronics hobby that's been simmering for decades. It's very satisfying when an electronics project goes from an idea through breadboard to a printed circuit board with a nice laser-cut case. It's a challenge to get a microprocessor-based project doing more with less hardware and smart software. I try for a professional result but don't try to minimize cost as the designer of a commercial product must. At the moment I have enough quality in the result to make gifts of some of my projects.
Oh yeah I forgot about that, that could do it. Maybe that's where the certainty comes from. My genuine belief is that there will continue be droughts and wars that cause famines and the excess deaths that come with them, but that the overall trend of famine-related deaths per capita will continue to trend downwards despite climate change. I think war and other geopolitical disruptions are the greatest threats to food security.
