I had 4 years of experience when I started freelancing. I quit my job with enough reserve to last one year and an half and moved to Southeast Asia.

I still continued to do a bit of work for my previous company but it was actually very difficult finding new clients and if I were to do it again I'd recommend not doing what I did.

It took me about a year before I found new clients with enough work to support me. Part of the reason for that is that it took me a while before I could actually force myself to work productively at home without anyone breathing down my neck. I found my clients with a combination of blog post and contributions to open source projects.

I don't have a family and children, I have a girlfriend who does remote work as a graphic designer so it works out well for us.

I really like the life I have now but it's true that it's not for everyone, working at home is not easy for a lot of people (I do recommend checking out local co-working spaces for this). You also have to enjoy spending time learning new languages and trying to adapt to a culture that's different from your own. Moving to a new place and getting everything ready can be stressful (I tend to be easy going by nature so that doesn't bother me)

If I had children, I'm not sure what I would do.
Clojure is imperative as opposed to declarative
Related to that idea: I've heard the suggestion that development of dementia is accelerated by (unreplaced) loss of teeth in old age. As in, when you stop chewing and just start taking your food by liquid, your brain stops working as well, possibly because it's now suffering chronic under-oxygenation on top of everything else.

This, along with the chewing gum/migraines connection, seems to suggest the motion of the jaw has a lot to do with brain function.

My personal hypothesis: given that the jaw specialized from the fusion and hardening of gills, perhaps the brain still expects it to perform gill-like functions in regularly "pumping" oxygen upward.

No where on the website does it mention not having a job or being unemployed.
If yawning is associated with the first derivative of dopamine levels, then you'd think taking a higher dose of Adderall than prescribed would make one immediately yawn. People who have been prescribed Adderall (specifically non-time-release L-Amphetamine): does this happen?

(Or, equivalently, the same question to anyone without ADHD who has taken Adderall, or anyone who has taken meth or snorted cocaine. But these are likely to be less common experiences in this community.)
Thank you for all of the info! I'll ensure I keep a close eye on muscle breakdown and weight loss curve.
packing techniques change rapidly, however you gotta start somewhere I suppose.
Note, I wrote the program, but I'd disagree very very strongly with this - we have a giant ton of Mac users.

I'm sorry you had install problems and had trouble reading our install chapter: http://docs.ansible.com/intro_installation.html ... I will say the docs are open source, so if you want to add a note about how to get something easier compiled on OS X or something, click the GitHub link in the upper right and you're off and running :)

We get a lot of strong positives about how awesome our docs are, so I'm really interested in what you think we could do to improve them -- but they were absolutely not modelled on Chef and Puppets. Chef has about 1000 pages of docs, Ansible covers the majority of everything in a dozen pages. Most folks get up and running (with working playbooks running real applications) in 30 minutes or an hour.

My philosophy on docs are mainly to address things in the order folks will want to learn things, but also make it easy to hop over sections people will not. Show examples, don't make a reference manual. Though there's a need for reference content, which is where stuff like galaxy.ansible.com content and github.com/ansible/ansible-examples steps in, so you can see it put together. More tutorials I think would still be useful in the main docs. But yeah, a discussion on what you like to see differently would be interesting.

While I do understand you have to do something to install the program, what you have to do to configure it once installed is pretty short, and the install itself should still only take a few minutes. I'll give you the fact that Macs are not Linux, but they are getting there :)

I'm interested in your Mavericks error and you should definitely stop by the list about that one, or just consider the homebrew install.

Another great thing to do since you are already are on a Mac is just start doing your development on Linux in a VM :) Not that we require it, we don't... but it's great when you've got a real package manager stock!

Another easy thing you can do is just checkout the git source and do "source ./hacking/env-setup" and then you are running straight out of source. This is what I do on OS X most of the time, and we have a large number of users that follow the development branch full time.
Still, you could either make a cable or buy one with only two wires.
Even I agree this might just be a experimental? for which they might not have permission for. or may be i am speculating

From what I've heard, the tolerances on Lego pieces are very tight. Most commercially available 3D printers can't yet reach those tolerances, so the pieces don't fit together very well. Although I guess having a perfect fit might not matter as much for a project like this vs. a 2 foot wide model of the Death Star!
Those are very undefined and user-specific complaints you have. And I've seen nothing in your post that justifies a full UI rewrite. Perhaps some changes, to cater for new/novice/confused users, but a UI rewrite is just a ridiculous thing to request.
> He's the one that's trying to equate it with some magical, mythical "affordable healthcare" system that does not exist in real life.

Let's not lie now, shall we?

"The U.S. stands almost entirely alone among developed nations that lack universal health care."

"That brings us to another way that America is a big outlier on health care. The grey countries on this map tend to spend significantly less per capita on health care than do the green countries -- except for the U.S., where the government spends way more on health care per person than do most countries with free, universal health care. This is also true of health care costs as a share of national GDP -- in other words, how much of a country's money goes into health care."

http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2012/06/her...

Not only do we spend the most per capita on healthcare, we consistently deliver lower quality care than other first world countries with universal healthcare spending less than us.

I really don't care to argue with you. Obamacare/ACA is well on its way to pushing the US to universal healthcare, as it should.

Often it's easiest to start in the middle and leave the introduction for last, when you have a very clear idea of what you've written, and why.
I like what is said until the paragraph on Steven Levy's work (the antepenultimate one). This paragraph draws a conclusion that I don't agree with, and more than that I'm not sure it can be drawn from what is said before.

I see the aesthetic aspect of the hacker culture. Without being as explicit, it is what RMS talks about in his similar essay (the one with the chopsticks story) in my opinion.

However, denying the ethical aspect entirely is wrong. I see it as an equally important part, and I fear that rejecting it entirely is a symptom of a rejection of anything political, which is a behavior I can't understand, and that I even find somewhat dangerous.
That was the case in 2009. GHC 7.8.3 is doing better now for regular Haskell code in the loop.

I would be very interested in seeing how this video fares in HN. Not a very common video for entrpreneurs, where getting money is the main focus.
I suppose "time" would still be a valid excuse.

Wasn't expecting to see some resources on Bass, though. That'll be handy when my brain is mush after several hours of programming exercises. Thanks!
Or to get rid of fault lines you can store two geohashes - the second one shifted so between the two, you can find many more "near points".

That said, geohashes like this are bad because they rely on lat/long without normalizing for distance first
Well, the Opgal device has a resolution of 384 x 288 while the E4 lists 80x60. It's probably worth the asking price.
This is really good advice. Another technique that sometimes works is to chop off the first few paragraphs of whatever you wrote. Writing can be like making whiskey-better if you throw the first and last parts away.
Agreed: when I was on the road internationally for 3 months, I always used the hotel laundry service if they offered one. Though if I'd known there were places like Freddy Leck (laundromat in Berlin with free wifi & serves coffee & cakes) I would've used that instead. Don't be a smelly traveller.

If you're prepared to take checked luggage, you can take a lot more clothes with you (or have room to buy more on your travels). Jeans were fine for me in Europe & even Vegas in July, though I'm used to 100F heat in summer.

Indeed, but when I move fast and break things, my website goes down, and maybe costs a few thousand in lost sales. In terms of man hours and construction, this broken thing must cost tens of millions! That's some agile.

Why You Should Keep Going, Even in the Face of Rejection
It's not ironic at all. Nor is it hypocritical.

Going to a news site called Hacker news is not the same thing as defending a word that has been misconstrued and then absorbed by the general public to mean something entirely different. The more you defend the word, the more you separate yourself from general society.
Yes but I think you'd be better off using it to anonymously purchase a VPS in your desired country of exit. Then set that VPS up to run a web proxy on a secured hidden service, and perform your personal browsing via it.

That way - assuming that the VPS provider is trustworthy - you get to avoid the ever-present malicious exit node operators, and websites that refuse service to Tor exit node users. While still making your browsing data untappable via Google Fibre, and dissociating your IP address from the VPS IP address.

The only downside is that your behaviour is not masked by those of hundreds of other Tor users as you only have your own VPS as an exit point.
Oh dammit, please don't full-on erupt. My first European trip in my 31 years on this planet better not be canceled by a frigging act of God.

I'm surprised by the number of people that try to get clients, as far as reaching out to "random" real estate agencies for work.

Out of curiosity, what makes that the preferred way over trying to get a single employer that allows you to work remotely part-time?

I agree that it might be slightly more difficult initially, but IMO it's worth it as you don't have to deal with having to get new clients, manage with your current ones. I actually got really lucky that I find my company as it put enough faith in me as a recent college grad.

IMO, the only reason for me to take on new clients is for a significantly higher rate?

It wraps around a java jar file. I can't study the code to see how it's implemented.
This confirms the good sense of covering the camera lens when not in use. For example, I've long stuck a narrow strip of paper, torn from the adhesive part of a Post-It note, to my MBA's camera lens, removing it when making a video call.
"Tréllo" it sounds little italian to me :)
I can't agree more - this sort of roaming's not for everyone, and the number of people who thrive on that sort of lifestyle is a lot smaller than the number of people who think they would thrive on that sort of lifestyle.

My own travels taught me that I don't just want a comfortable lifestyle (something you can buy in some version almost anywhere) but a particular variety of comfortable lifestyle - the sort of place within walking distance of a Whole Foods and restaurants that know the right type of glass for each wine varietal.

I might be a total yuppie, but at least I'm a self-aware yuppie, and I appreciate my surroundings a whole lot more than I used to.
Can't replicate calling from either the Chrome extension or from within gmail.
Such an interesting analysis, and seemingly a very nice site too. A shame the comments are so headless.

It's a travesty communities and discussions devolve so quickly on the internet (though I of course know from PGs eternal struggle how hard it is to prevent). Whoever can solve this problem (nice try disqus etc) will certainly claim fame.

Up and down votes won't cut it. It will require a serious inquiry into psychology, sociology and behavioural studies I believe.

They did have some tests, obviously not enough though.
Strawberries contain serotonin! This is pretty well-studied; it's hypothesized they do it because serotonin in the gut acts as a laxative, causing you to expel the strawberry seeds without digesting them.

If the serotonin manages to make it into your bloodstream (e.g. if your gut bacteria don't want it, and your stomach pH isn't low enough to destroy it, and your gut permeability is high) then you'll certainly get a mood boost.
My guess is that when the plugin initializes, it connects to the camera to confirm that the previous settings are still valid and then disconnects once it sees that video isn't needed.
My 7yo is really obviously smart and she knows it - top of class in everything. But so are her parents. So we're hammering home that smart is not good enough and you have to learn to do things, acquire skills.

(Her mum is an excellent role model in this, 'cos she's basically competent in a dizzying array of small skills. "If you want to be good at everything like Mummy is, this is how you learn it!")

Basically the hard part is capturing her interest. Anything she's interested in, she will absolutely kill. Anything she's not interested in, she won't bother with. That bit she gets from me ...

It also reminds us to set a good example: learn things and do them. Because it doesn't matter what you say, it's the example you present.

That said, I was most calmed by the many, many studies that show that, as long as you don't actually neglect the kid, they'll probably turn out how they were going to anyway. So helicopter parenting really is completely futile.

We've caught her at midnight reading books more than once, so I'll call that "huge success" ;-)
Yes, this is correct. I'm in this situation (not a 'nomad', but a Canadian expat with no Canadian income) and don't have to pay taxes or file a tax return in Canada.

I've looked into devops tools for administering my personal collection of a dozen machines or so, and don't understand what they offer. Every one I've tried, I've come to the conclusion that it is primarily designed for dealing with large numbers of homogeneous machines, and only serve to add overhead (new syntax, a level of file name indirection) when dealing with individualized ones.

What I've ended up doing instead is keeping a simple tree of config files, which get run through a templating engine and then rsynced to the target host. For simple things there is zero overhead - etc/hosts is just the plain file that goes to all machines. But this system allows me to have eg one smartd.conf which contains all my disks, which is then split between machines.

A few things currently fall through the cracks (users,groups), but overall rebuilding a machine is a relatively painless process. I feel like there must be a better more standardized way though (which is why I keep looking at these tools). Any comments/experiences/etc ?

High there! I'm a CTO at ever-growing fully remote company (every single employee is remote). While I have no doubt you can find a company willing to hire you as a digital nomad, I definitely have a bunch of reservations about it.

We've had folks on the move quite a bit in the past (including traveling around in an RV). The biggest issue is that they tend not to be quite as plugged in as everyone else. Internet connections always seem to be spotty and there always seems to be other issues tugging at their attention (finding places to work, exploring, etc..).

That doesn't mean they produced bad work (often it was very good), but it came at the expense of the rest of the team. When we needed them to answer a question or hop into a quick discussion they often weren't around. It's just a bad dynamic as far as the rest of the team goes.

We do hire contractors for very specific and targeted projects. In that mode nomads are just fine! They don't need to fit into the broader team in a meaningful way and there is no expectation that they will. They come in for a few weeks or months and then move on. It works well and both sides are really happy with the arrangement.

Point being, you might have better luck both finding a job and being successful at it if you're looking less for full-time roles and more for contract positions that complement the type of lifestyle you want to pursue.

It's not that "anybody can achieve anything", but that we can almost always get far better at almost anything if we put effort into it.

E.g. I do powerlifting to stay fit. I don't think I'll ever be a world class athlete, but through consistency through the last ten years, I'm lifting at an advanced level for my weight/age class on all my lifts.

Could everyone do that? Probably not. Thought most people can likely get to my level with enough effort.

More importantly, every untrained person can improve massively, because the average untrained person is so massively far from their potential.

I lift 10-15 times more today than I did when I started. Unless you've got severe health problems or disabilities, start at a very advanced age, or a very good starting point, most people will "easily" be able to increase their lifts by at least a factor of 5 in a few years with 30-40 minutes 2-3 times a week. In fact, most total beginners can double or even triple their working weight within a month or two.

The same applies for most mental disciplines as well: We may not all make it to expert level in every discipline, but we can almost always multiply our starting skill level enough times over with some effort that most people who have not put in any effort in the field will be impressed.
Last Tango in Kabul
Well, I have to keep my company there, which makes it pretty hard for me...

But you are right that it doesn't seem to hard, so I looked into it some more. I think the main problem would be to prove that you are not living in Sweden (the burden of proof is on you for the first 5 years). It seems that the requirement for not permanently living in Sweden is to permanently live somewhere else - perpetually traveling the world doesn't seem to be enough, you have to prove that you are a resident somewhere else, usually by applying for residence and paying taxes there...

Nope. My data is me. The totality of my data is literally my identity. If you know everything about me, you can steal my identity and assume my living role.

I don't like the reality of the US War Machine killing innocents simply to enrich crony war profiteers. By your reasoning, I should stop paying taxes too.

Digital Ocean is great for small projects . . . and it's nice to you can host multiple projects on one droplet.

If you're using Laravel check out https://forge.laravel.com/.

It makes it super easy to get up and running on Digital Ocean and http://laravel.com/docs/homestead provides a quick and easy VM to match what forge sets up on Digital Ocean.

Plus it's easy to setup multiple small projects on the same droplet. Forge is $10/mo but it supports Laravel and does save time setting up and configuring Digital Ocean along with easy deployment.
