There is no way that's true. No matter how far a person wandered they're not going to come across a bell pepper, lettuce, carrots, potatoes and any meat they could want.

This is very interesting, do you go through it every now and then to remove stale content and dead links?

If I did something like this I just know I'd get into the habit of adding everything I read vs adding things that actually help me achieve what I want to achieve.

I have been doing this successfully for the last 8 years (and in the later years earning significantly more than I could as an employee in Europe) so hopefully my advice can help you.

You need to figure out if you just want to be an individual consultant or hire other staff. If you're looking to build out a business with employees it will be much more challenging as you will need to be a full time sales person, always making sure you have enough work in the pipeline to make sure they get paid, rule 1 is that staff always get paid before you.

I would suggest you find like minded individuals and partner up with them, that way when one of you has a bad week or you need a holiday the other/others can pick up the slack.

Seeing as you have so much experience you should be able to lean on previous employers / colleagues to get contracts, this is how we started out. Once you have a few projects under your belt and a decent website you will need to see if you're getting enough work by word of mouth from previous projects or if you need to invest in marketing. If you stay as a small team it will be much easier to do well via word of mouth if your quality of work is good. At the end of the day it's all about your network and driving quality projects into your business.

I would strongly discourage you from only bringing projects to the POC/MVP state. This is what we did initially but you need a far higher throughput of projects and you're in danger of leaving clients high and dry if they want the idea built out further.

That's how we got started anyway, best of luck with your venture!

Check out AWS Amplify, it strips away a lot of the complexity and time consuming config work.

We have had clients that need it for content licensing requirements, it doesn't make sense to allow users to choose their region in a scenario where content is region dependent.

Of course, you can just get around this with a VPN.

The styling of the site is so on point, nicely done!

This is really beautiful craftsmanship! It will definitely influence my own projects in the future, thanks for sharing.

Judging by your response (and the amount of comments you've made in this thread) I don't think you really took the time to think about my comment.

We obviously didn't chose black list or white list to donate race but regardless it's another brick in wall for black to equate to bad.

As a white European this has no impact on me in any way shape or form apart from wanting a more inclusive space for my friends.

Out of interest why are you so against the idea of changing terms? In your comment here (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=f3295cde) you make the comparison of "will replace the word 'football' as it is offensive to people with limb difference", you do realise these are fundamentally different issues right? People aren't looking to replace the words for the fun of it.

The simple way that I think of it is how black/white list is constantly reinforcing in your head that black is bad and white is good.

The whole idea is to remove the subconscious bias that it creates in our minds, always associating black with bad and white with good in the case of blacklist and white list.

None of this has any effect on me and I don't see the negative side of changing it.

I'm excited for this too and I was very excited a couple of years ago when Android launched instant apps which were the exact same idea, but they never took off. Hopefully with Apples tighter control of NFC in their phones and better marketing they will become more prevalent.

Even for interacting with your robot hoover or your headphones there's plenty of opportunities to create much better user interactions than your first step of onboarding to involve going to an app store.

So it's down across the whole world? Just to add to the list, it's gone for Ireland too.

Yes, it's also against the rules to auto select all of the trackers as accepted but many sites still do this. By default everything should be deselected and you need to accept all of them to allow tracking.

I've found that sites are slowly changing over to this method but it will probably take a big court case for the likes of TechCrunch to change.

Even if you are on the fence I hope you're taking measures now and having older relatives isolate. If you're not, a couple of weeks from now you will look back and regret being on the fence. Look after yourself.

It would depend on the scope of what people are trying to achieve, at a certain point of complexity you pass from being a "non programmer" to being a programmer due to all of the inferred learning you get from experience.

I know a handful of non programers who can automates tasks in their everyday workflow but as you say they're not maintainable pieces of software or particularly transferable, they are custom tools they create for their own flow.

Having read the short article it's pretty clear that he was simply saying that if you have an indoor nest camera it would be proper etiquette to tell your guests that they are being recorded on your device. From how I read it, he wasn't saying to let your guests know that Nest/Google might be listening.

Personally I'd never have one of these devices in my house but I would appreciate it if my friends gave me a heads up if I was in their house with one.

It's better to solve part of the problem than none of the problem. I don't use a car day to day but it's a requirement for my SO to get to work. Cars will always be a requirement for people so changing to hybrids, PHEV and fully electric is only a good thing for our health and the environment.

Instagram is currently hiding likes in Ireland as part of a test, only the person who uploads the photo sees how many people like it. It will be interesting to see if they roll it out everywhere or decide against it.

There is also cloundcraft.co [1] which I have been using for a year or so now and would recommend.

All of the responses in this thread are vague because your question is vague.

If you have put away enough money to fund your own idea or live salary free for a year (or amount of time you're comfortable with not earning) then go for it. If this is just some itch you're looking to scratch try changing team in your company first and see if you still want to leave.

This question depends on so many variables that you can't possibly expect someone to give you a clear answer.

What's the reasoning behind everyone needing that level of access?

We use 1password and have multiple vaults depending on what sort of clearance is needed. Need access to support emails? We'll add you to the appropriate vault. This way dev teams can be separate from marketing etc and no one can unexpectedly gain access to what they shouldn't be able to or wipe passwords they shouldn't have access to.

Npm audit should be added to the list in place of NSP as the service is now deprecated [1].

There is quite a few great comments in this thread but I just want to add that getting a quality lens has a much bigger impact on your image quality than the camera body. A quality body with a bad lens is a waste of time.

Different eco systems have a varied number of lenses at each price point, for example you will be able to pick up an old but great canon lens cheap enough but if you go with Sony you will be spending much more to get a quality lens as their eco system is much younger. (I'm a Sony user btw)

Regards resources there is hundreds of Youtube videos for learning but be careful about getting caught up in the gear hype. I like Thomas Heaton [1]

Think about how you will be displaying the images, if you are just sharing to Instagram then you don't need a >16mp sensor.

No one can really tell you what exactly to do, it's bit of a journey to find out how you enjoy taking photos but it's a great hobby!

If any of them read hacker news they will probably know soon enough. How many tech teams of 9 are there in the Cotswolds that have an Indian parent company?

Thanks for linking this. This is exactly the type of book I was trying to find a couple of months ago.

I had this done before getting laser eye surgery to ensure my prescription was correct (it was wrong, just like yours) but the effect wore off within 24 hours. It is very inconvenient though, my pupils were fully dilated and I couldn't see anything within 2 feet of me!

Very interesting, I really like how the objects melt away. I only tried a couple of combinations though because the website doesn't have routing setup properly so when you press back you come back to HN.

I haven't seen anyone else suggest this book yet [1] but I found it incredibly helpful. It's about Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) which has been clinically proven to be at least as effective as drugs and is supported by the NHS [2]. The book was recommended to me by a couple of GP's I know and I use the techniques I've learned from it on a weekly basis to either just relax or to slow down my thought processes.
