Wow, you must be brilliant, somehow "better" than the rest of the people in Silicon Valley, to be able to know their very thoughts, and what deep, important things that they "very rarely... take the time to think about."

It truly is a "tragedy" that they're not thinking about all of us foot-shufflers out here in the larger world who are "walking in circles just to be their customers." I don't know if I'll be able to bear the grief...
I hate that I like that movie. Make sure that repeated 'dude's and 'sweet's sound angrier and angrier within a refractory period:)

You basically want to do clean handyman stuff. I would expect the issue to be finding enough customers, although if supply/demand is sufficiently twisted in your area, it might work.

Calling it "plumber" is quite a misnomer as they have to deal with a lot more shit (literally and figuratively).

I have a Master's in Electrical and Computer Engineering. I much prefer systems integration or full-stack stuff where there are lots of pieces to go together. My recent work has been putting IR and visible camera cores together in an aircraft camera housing with custom microcontroller and FPGA-carrying boards; the code is writing C and VHDL to output blended video so the pilot can see at night and through light fog.

All my work experience has been in aviation: avionics technician, aircraft homebuilding, writing quadcopter stability code, modeling UAV payload systems at a drone manufacturer, and building hardware for 12-foot rockets that stream video and data to the ground during flight over wifi. http://psas.pdx.edu/

I would prefer work in aviation or on mobile robot platforms. I've messed around with building and control of an underwater robot.

I'm looking for either contract work that's remote and part-time or for a full-time on-site position. I just want a job where I can geek out while making a tangible product.

> From your profile page, click "saved stories"

I responded to you in the other thread, but I'll briefly recap here as well: it would be really nice if there were a link to the "saved stories" page in the top bar, next to "threads" (it could just say "saved" there to save space).

> you might ask: why can't I upvote a story but not bookmark it, or vice versa?

I was going to ask that, but you already responded. :-)
How is the tech employment situation in that area? My wife and I are considering moving there.
Does the go linker attempt any dead code elimination across libraries? Static linking is handy for distributing binaries but 8 megabytes does seem a bit excessive for a relatively simple program.

Then again, it isn't so out of place nowadays when you see how big a statically linked C program can get when linked against glibc...
Fixed, thanks for the heads up
Being picky is not going to get you very far.

Someone lists themselves as a plumber, they'll be called for whatever plumbing job is available. If you do the dirty jobs they'll hire you for the nice jobs too. If you refuse the dirty jobs then those plumbers that do do the dirty jobs will will end up running off with your potential customers. Especially in the early years you won't be having too much work that you can afford to send away the jobs (and thus the customers) that you don't want.

You want to build up a reputation that says you are a good plumber, not a picky plumber that doesn't want to get his hands dirty. (In fact, that's one of the reasons plumbers can charge what they do.)

edit: this comment is a nice example of what I mean: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8120404
I'm reading that right now. It's a very gentle introduction, and I do recommend it. I looked at some other books but they were very dense with notation that I hadn't seen since college. Conceptual Mathematics doesn't really presume any prior knowledge, so even if it's a little slow in some parts, it's helping me get back up to speed.
After installing the extension, open the extensions menu, find it and click "Inspect views: background page", then check the JS file that it references.
You have to factor in how much time you actually work in a day.

Unless you work in a big construction project such that you arrive 9:00 in the morning and leave at 18:00, you will probably need to spend a significant amount of time travelling from one client's house to another. And you cannot charge your clients for that time.

And then there is the question of whether you will even be fully booked all the time.
I dunno. A plumber's overhead includes, tools, supplies, and what can be harder labor than the non-trivial work you've accomplished.

Until you are crawling in nasty crawl spaces replacing 4 inch drain lines or doing the more challenging work of replumbing in 100 year old walls with demanding clients warning you to not ruin their plaster and hexie tiles... I wouldn't discount the challenge, risks, and physical difficulty that plumbers face. They have a standard rate which is higher margin for putting a new wax seal in your toilet bowl. but digging long trenches to fix busted main drain lines to the street is far worse than grabbing a coffee on the way to the Herman Miller Aeron.

Depending on where you are, there's also the apprenticeship/licensing process and dealing with the range of niche plumbing areas. There are plenty of basic plumbers, so high competition (you don't just get 40hr/wk starting up). If you get into commercial, then you deal with fairly complex issues and entrenched rackets for middle management to ensure that they get paid more than you.

Do you want to be hands on the pipes or a supervisor? Hands on pipes? You better be tough, never get sick, and ready to deal with a lot of shit - literally. You better work.
Plumbers are awesome and I have a great regard for them. When I was looking at buying a house, we had an inspection done. The home inspector found water in the crawlspace and he made excuses about why he couldn't go down there to make a determination of the cause. We called up a plumber and they came for a free estimate. The guy wore a disposable coverall, went down into the water and found the source of the problem. The repair costs would have been too much so we canceled our offer. Next house we did buy however, we took an opportunity to use the same plumbers for any improvement work done.

I understand where you are coming from. But keep in mind that there are many factors to consider. Getting a van and buying supplies. Driving time. Having consistent business to bill 40 hours per week etc.

I would be very surprised if your overall net income or free-time was higher being a plumber.
Blue Origin (Seattle, WA) - http://www.blueorigin.com

Software Engineers

Blue Origin is developing technologies to enable private human access to space at dramatically lower cost and increased reliability. We have multiple openings for software engineers across various teams. In particular, we're looking for people with Java experience and an interest in working on all levels of the development stack. You'll get to work on green-field projects and use some of the latest technologies. Experience working with Graph or Non-Relational databases is a plus. So is front-end development experience using Angular, Ember, etc.

To be clear, we're looking for people from all backgrounds. You don't necessarily need to come from aerospace but you must be passionate about it!

We have many interesting problems to work on, directly or indirectly related to building/flying spacecraft. We're also growing rapidly, so even if you aren't an exact match, we'd love to hear from you. We also have many unlisted openings we're recruiting for as well.

Unless this service grows the auto rickshaw market (meaning, someone who wasn't likely to use an auto rickshaw is now using one, thanks to this service), then this person's gain is another rickshaw driver's loss. This seems unfair to me.

Rickshaw drivers are typically uneducated and it's plausible that some of them don't realize this Uber-like service exists and are losing money because of it. Anyway, my point is, I really, really hope this is growing the market otherwise we are just taking money away from one driver and handing it to another (in theory).

In addition to being physically hard work, you need to get out and go to the job site. That incurs overhead in the form of fewer billable hours per day. So if you're 30 minutes to/from a 1 hour job, your rate is effectively cut by 1/3.

I'll add that it's pretty comfy sitting on a soft chair in an air conditioned or heated office to work.
I don't know why someone downvoted you. I had not heard of it either and the descriptions are vague
Not necessarily. They may have figured that if stellar go stellar, then the service provided would be worth a lot to them.
Back when Diablo III had a real money market, someone gained access to my account and locked me out. I hadn't played in a while, so they could have been using my character for a month or two. I worked with Blizzard to regain my account (surprisingly pain-free process), and logged on to find my old character fully leveled, extremely well-equipped, and wealthy. I never got to thank the guy, so instead I told all of the new friends I had on my contact list to thank him for me. They didn't like that.
I've also been following Quill development and it looks very promising.

It's worth noting that the same GoInstant developers have been working on a project called Tandem, which is an OT server implementation that uses the same underlying delta format as Quill: https://github.com/tandem/tandem

I hope that they will continue to work on it as an open source project now that GoInstant is going away.

handymen charge $50+ which is still too much in my opinion for level and rarity of skill they have.
I agree; I never said it did.
Opportunity to resolve the public interest for SEO guys? What did they call it in High School yearbooks, the superlatives page? I was trying to remember who are the "litigious bastards" but Google and Urban Dictionary remembered it for me...

There was an effort (I can't find the link) to create a catalog of all of the links and terms that it was requested for Google to forget. Some folks (not me, but some folks I'm sure) could spend a long time coming up with the best search terms for the most egregious "bad examples" of people demanding to be forgotten in this way, how hard could it be to make sure they show up in the top results? :)
The purpose of blind testing in medicine is to eliminate the possible effects caused by different patient-doctor psychological interactions.

If we find out that inanimate objects behave differently if the operator does/doesn't believe in their success (as patients do), then that'd be much bigger news than engine development.
That's exactly the point: Git didn't handle the rename conflict so well at the time of the mailing list exchange, but it did handle it better by the time the blog post was written. And it may handle it better still in the future, precisely because the repo format isn't laden with metadata[0], and the handling of edge cases like this can be improved by evolving the heuristics that Git uses to infer what happened.

It's a bet that "future self" (improving heuristics) will be more effective than "past self" (attempting to design a future-proof the repo format). It looked like the bet was paying off in 2007 when the blog post was written, and 7 years later that still seems to be the case.

[0] Metadata which would need to be carefully managed for compatibility across versions, and which would be missing any time the user forgot to explicitly record it (with a Git command) and instead made a change directly to the worktree.
Done. Maybe you can remove the downvote?

SEEKING FREELANCERS - Austin, TX (remote welcome!)

After many years of freelancing, I've recently opened up a small creative consultancy called Pepck. We specialize in working with small businesses (including other agencies) through a variety of marketing, design, and web development projects.

I am currently looking for freelancers of all shapes and sizes (designers, front-end developers, copywriters, and others!) to join my network.

If you're a reliable freelancer with even a modicum of talent and you're interested in helping small businesses grow & succeed, drop me a line at ryan@pepck.com.

This. I've either got to trust Evernote, Keep, Box, or something, because I'm sure as hell not going to spend the time to build out a feature-complete implementation of a note-taking tool that won't be a royal pain in the ass to work around. If Google really derives that much value from knowing that I need a bottle of wine and some deli meatballs at the grocery store and I need to call my doctor to reschedule my appointment next week, by all means, please take that information and do something useful.

Here's the reality of the situation:

- If the service gives me recommendations, that's not something you could easily roll yourself. There's always some sort of dependency, like Solr or ElasticSearch that you'd have to set up. I don't have the time or motivation to stand that nonsense up on my own VPS.

- I would almost guarantee that Keep or Evernote are more reliable than anything I could stand up on my own crummy VPS.

- Anything I could build probably doesn't have its own syncing app that works properly offline.

- Whatever I need to jot down probably doesn't even need half the security that the services out there provide. Do I really care if the list of movies that I want to watch on Netflix gets leaked to the public? Meh.

- It's unlikely that any home-grown or OSS solution would have the rigorous polish of Keep or Evernote.

No. Because he wants to feed his family.

(I don't pretend to speak for the OP but you have a very naive view of what it is like to be a tradesman that wants to stay in business for more than 3 months. Hint: you take the work you can get at hopefully a price where you make enough money that if there is a lull in business you can still survive. Then there's taxes, tools, breakage, late payers, non-payers and so on, it's not exactly a joyride compared to being a desk-jockey.)
