Another way to approach this is to find the salary for a similar position then either x1.5 or x2.0 it. When working for yourself you have to incorporate expenses (rent, insurance, hardware, services, accountancy etc.). From there work backw

Interesting theory. I'd like to add some further data points. I received a number of messages through various communication channels today encouraging me to celebrate and be merry. This is very unusual as I am not a person who enjoys m

While I think it’s very important to have less stuff, there’s a big difference between “doesn’t cost money” and stealing.

Great comment. Another few things to add to this if you are going for more broadcast quality rather than just Zoom calls: - The lens you use if crucial. A nice and fast prime portrait lens (20-50mm f1.4 or something) will make a huge differ

Had you used an iPad before? I'm interested in hearing the difference between the two. The Remarkable 2 looks great. I use my iPad primarily as a note-taking/brainstorming tool with the Apple Pencil, Notability and a paper-like sc

I'm exactly the same, what an incredible organisation. The use of computer vision, VFX, modelling and VR is inspiring.

I hadn't seen the leaked footage and photos from inside the warehouse, nor the videos from the firefighters before the explosion. Very interesting. This website (and organisation) is fascinating. There are other excellent videos on the

This is fascinating and leaves me with so many questions. What do these cables look like? How are they made? How do they lay them? Are they in sections? How are they connected? How much maintenance do they require? How much data can they ca

I've used it on a few sites and really liked its simplicity. It's Tailwind for JS. That said, does AlpineJS offer any framework for extension? What I mean is the ability to build on it with custom JS to create custom small compone

How about when you already do most of your development on the command line? In web development anyway, most frameworks, servers and tools are CLI only so you are already on the command line for the most part. It's far quicker to do a q

Have you looked at Craft? It has headless-mode via a GraphQL API.

At its simplest yes. But if you are proposing this as a solution to a client, they will likely want to edit content. That will have to happen on a headless CMS instance. That's whole new stack to maintain alongside. You then need to se

Aside: is there any way to demo PDFScanner? I literally got a Epson FF680W today and was shocked at how poor the default software is for reading documents. I tried VueScan (which everyone recommends online) but found the interface awful.

Did you try going via your consumer rights instead of their warranty? Completely anecdotal I know, but I had a Apple Pencil fail on me outside of warranty. On the phone they refused to fix or replace it. Once I mentioned my consumer rights

This is called “convention over configuration” and I don’t know where the front end software world went wrong in ignoring it. Ember.js is still a great example of a “batteries included” front end framework that makes all the decisions for y
