I once did a weekend trip from the Bay Area to Reno (on Saturday and back on Sunday), which was my first Amtrak experience. The schedule works out so you can take the California Zephyr both ways in the daylight. I figured I didn't want to ride for more than a day at a time, didn't want to deal with sleeping on the train, and I still got to see some of the most scenic train routes in the US. It was really cool, some of the highlights include: leaving the Bay Area right along the shore of the bay, including the lesser known "upper bay" (Carquinez straits), a huge (miles long) switching yard in Roseville, passing the Donner summit and the spectacular curves to come down from it, and the canyon of the Truckee river from along the river. On board, you get to meet and chat with a lot of interesting travelers, including lots of foreign rail buffs.

You get a seat assigned in the seating car, but you really want to make your way to the observation car and claim a seat with a better view. One disappointment was the lack of grandiose views of the Sierra Nevada. I'm used to driving and hiking there, and the train doesn't go through the most scenic parts (thankfully, I guess). There are some views of the American river valley, and the mountains a bit higher up, but not much of the high peaks around the Donner summit. Frankly, you get better views and get there faster on the highway (I-80), but I've done that so many times, it was neat to get different views for once. Except for one hour of 70mph on the way to Sacramento, he train felt lumbering and slow, and we did have delays here and there. The return train was 2 hours late, but I guess that is fairly good on a route all the way from Chicago (by American rail standards).

Reservations were easy online, I think it was about $60-70 each way. You can take AC transit from the transbay terminal across to Emeryville and a short walk to the Amtrak station (amtrak also runs their own busses from various locations, but you have to leave an hour earlier). In Reno, it was real easy to get a room within walking distance of the station downtown (at a casino or motel). I even had time to enjoy their river walk. All in all, it was a fun weekend, I'm glad I did it and I recommend it if you want to try the train in the US west.
Yes! You are a manager first. Your job is to direct the actions of the team, your technical expertise needs to only go far enough so you do not commit your team to a death march.

Even worse if you use your position to cherry-pick projects away from your team because they "sound fun". Talk about a morale buster.

A year is unlikely to cut it re overseas clients.

Hi gdiocarez, I cannot speak to your abilities because I haven't seen your code, but $20 an hour is absolutely achievable. I would strongly recommend that you do also take some courses to improve on your English. Good, unambiguous communication is crucial for remote work (I am remote from the rest of my team and bad communication costs so much time and effort). Improving your English will also help the perception your potential clients will have on you and your work.

Good luck!

AFAIK, even for the open-source license - you only have to provide source code to your client - i.e. when distributing...

If you're using this framework for your personal project - you're free to not to release source code - since you're not distributing the binaries of your project either.

Is there any law or ICANN rule saying you're owed the domain with the same characters as your trademark in every possible GTLD? I don't understand what the outrage is about.

I'm from the Philippines, too.

From my experience, you have better chances of getting a better pay AND work-life balance at a full-time job than in freelance sites (Elance, oDesk, Freelancer.com). There's barely any decent clients there who are willing to pay us $30/hr. However, you have the experience, and I'm very well aware that RoR developers here can easily command a salary of PHP150k-200k every month... perhaps even more. All you have to do is find the right company, and ask.

If you check out Jobstreet and JobsDB and set the salary filter to a minimum of 100k, you'll still find plenty of openings for Ruby devs.

The fact that this article has been flagged (is no longer in the front page despite being way up there minutes a go) and the lack of upvotes (compared to other less important articles) makes me fear for the future of humanity.

Does anybody know how the (immune) survivors are engaged in the health care system of the affected countries? The treatment itself doesn't seem so advanced, it's main challenge being not getting infected. Being immune would be a huge advantage.
My projects are generally quoted, so a lot of this is not always relevant to me (although they affect how I quote things), but, my thoughts:

- Learning core software/skills is not billable. "Core" is "any decent dev in this niche already knows this stuff." That's the stuff you read up on in your evenings. (One way my main client works around this is to have a senior dev always quote the tech side. Even if a junior dev does the work, they only get paid the quote, so they effectively self-adjust their hourly rate according to their skill level.)

- I would charge (and have charged) reading the docs, figuring out how to compile, and integrating a third-party payment lib I'd never seen before. So, specific tools/libs outside of the norm, I consider chargeable.

- Research for what I do is usually a write-off, but I can sometimes work a couple hours into the quote for a prototype if there are big unknowns. Or, before quoting, I say "give me a couple of hours to prototype, with the understanding that if we go ahead it's a component of the quote, if we don't go ahead you'll pay me anyway." Sometimes I don't charge the prototype, but it's instrumental in convincing the client to go ahead at all, so it's still a win.

- Tangent of a tangent, but kinda related to your 'research' point – quoting is really hard, mainly because quoting thoroughly approaches the complexity of doing the work for real. So a lot of my quotes are "if things go how I hope they will this will take 1 hour. If things go badly I'll come back and talk to you because we could be looking at days." Unknowns are really hard to quote without just doing the work.
Thanks for the preview Mo, I am reading through it now. Would there be any further advantage to measuring one-way-delay as opposed to measuring RTT?
Why you are being down voted is a mystery to me.

(I upvoted you but I have been vote-banned AKA my votes do nothing at all)
I think that the misconception the author talks about happens because a noun is used for the properties of an object.

An adjective such as "monadic" can be used instead: "In Haskell, IO actions are monadic because the IO type has a flatMap (bind) operator and a unit (return) function which satisfy left identity, right identity and associativity".

All of the above are the properties (traits?) of the IO datatype. Monads (in Haskell) don't "exist" by themselves, they're just a property.
This example might be fair use, though.

I suggest getting back to university.

It is about future-proofing. And for this, the actual university doesn't matter much.

A college degree is required for pretty much any medium to large company. This is especially so for international companies in developing countries. Think long term: 5 to 10 years down the road all kinds of opportunities can open up, don't exclude yourself from them.

A college degree is (amongst other things) a document, a passport, and without one you will have incredible obstacles to overcome.
The poster you replied to said that you can run apps LIKE a browser just fine. Not that you should run (web) apps INSIDE a browser. When running proper native code works just fine why would you choose to run web "apps" anyway?
That seems a bit odd, as it's at most leased, not owned by them; the lease expired, so it is null and void and is therefore not an asset. I'd thought UDRP was fairly clear about this...

And the order isn't against the new owner - so it sounds invalid to me? Not a lawyer, but Verisign should at least have questioned these. I have no idea if they'd have a claim, or what kind of claim, or who to.

My rule of thumb is to set a rate that covers your "survival" if you only had 2 days work per week.

That gives you loads of capacity to try increasing your rate (ie, you won't be desperate for work) as well as holidays etc.

So if you need $40,000/yr to survive, your hourly rate is ($40,000/50 weeks /16 hours) = $50/hour.

Reading the other answers, it sounds like $100/hour is the US market rate. So you have plenty of opportunity to grow from $50 to $100/hour, as quickly as you can. Good luck!
Why no? The technical term "type safety" as described in the link above, implies that each value has a type, this type doesn't change during the evolution of a program, etc. How does it differ from the guarantees we have in so-called strong-typed languages?

The fact that compiler is refusing to compile type-mismatching expression for a simple built-in types doesn't imply that it is "safer". Other languages, notably Lisp and Erlang will catch and signal the same error later, at runtime.

I am not a Haskell guru, but what I see, especially in the case of Monads, is an implicit type-tagging with additional tag - name it State, or IO, or Safe and then type-checking against them.

I cannot see the fundamental difference which gives that "extra safety".

It does, although for Option and Result, there's .unwrap() which simply exits the program (through fail!()) on None/error. The fact that you can do this is practical, although could potentially train bad habits.
Near Reykjavik there's a site called something like the Golden Falls. It's a pretty waterfall. I joined a busload of retirees and other holiday-makers on a tour of sites. We stopped there, went for a walk along the concrete, saw the waterfall, photos, spent five minutes in the tourist shop, and then got back in the bus.

I considered the golden waterfalls as they would have been to hikers for centuries: a visual oasis that people stumble upon or towards after hiking for days. That would have been glorious. But - apart from these thoughts - it was otherwise meaningless.

You can't appreciate such a thing from the comfort of a bus journey and concrete walkways. The presence of the trappings of tourism would significantly deplete the value of the thing if you had hiked to it like the ancients had. Unless you were thirsty. Or injured.
I concur with this POV.

just have some balls when negotiating and prepare to walk away. Get some practice in on jobs that you don't really want, negotiate hard for them and get used to the negotiation to and fro.

Some of these managers/biz people get paid $200+/hr and so don't battle an eyelid when you have some balls. Infact your image goes up in their eyes.

By never being on the table, isn't the issue by default not what people care about the most?

Too bad. When you're in business you don't get to control everything about your product.

Any open-source code would have to be released under the terms of the AGPL as well (although could potentially be dual-licensed). It could also not use GPLv2 libraries (although could use GPLv3 libraries), or libraries with other copyleft licenses for the most part.

It's... an extremely restrictive license, generally, and not one I'm comfortable using as an open-source developer. I know many others feel the same, which would lead to a lack of community, leading to a lack of community support, and potentially leading to the death of the product.

I'm still new to remote working and don't know about transaction and payments.

Ask somebody who works remote or pay an accountant. Heck failing that ask the company how they would prefer to pay you (this has the potential downside that the method they prefer is not likely to the the most optimal method from your perspective, but it is likely superior to not getting paid at all, i.e your current situation).
It took me so long to figure out that "where is the monad?" was the wrong question. It took me even longer to grok that "monad" is essentially an interface/trait rather than a "type". I think your suggestion of 'monadic' is a big improvement.

>Unlike the fossil fuel economy that characterized the industrial era, I surmise that the information age is somewhat sustainable as an exponential curve of economic possibility. This is a radical viewpoint I'll warn; many of my (otherwise seemingly reasonable) friends fear that "the music will stop" unexpectedly and that today will be one of "the good old days."

I had an insight the other day (while watching one of Hans Roslings videos): it is mathematically impossible to distinquish an S-curve from exponential growth until/unless that growth flatterns, just from the shape of the growth alone.

The good news in case this is an S-curve and not exponential growth: we just stop widely growing, we don't peak and crash.

Is it legitimate to “buy” Stack Overflow reputation?
More of the issue is that it's really hard to set up. It's getting better with things like DNSChain, but it's still not exactly something a non-technical person can get going with in 10 minutes. It's also not something you can use on your phone safely yet.

It's not going to be something that legitimate companies are going to use for their primary domain name for a long time. More than that, it's going to be used in niche applications - decentralised identity (id/ rather than u/), primarily, along with being used as a name service for things like OpenBazaar and maybe Tor.

On the other hand, if you happen to run a company or project and have some form of cryptocurrency, you might as well exchange some of that for namecoins and register d/whatever, just in case.
