A good fraction of the freelance work I have done has required looking up papers (eg the current implementation for https://github.com/jamii/texsearch is based on a bioinformatics paper). It's fine when you only want a single specific pap

You can file online (see https://ewf.companieshouse.gov.uk/help/en/stdwf/doclist06.ht... ). Bear in mind that signing up for webfiling can take a long time. Don't leave it to the last minute. Life is much simpler as a sole trader though.

I registered directly with Companies House a few months ago, after consulting an accountant. It was completely straightforward. I don't see any need to use a third party.

Ah, ok. Swift uses merkle hash trees for error detection which scales down quite nicely. Packets which don't match the hash are just dropped. They seem to be trying to avoid long request-response chains - most messages just cause a state tr

FEC = Forward Error Correction? Could you expand on that? I'm not familiar with this whole area at all.

libswift.org is a nice place to start. It compacts and simplifies the tcp/bittorrent stack into 4k lines of cpp. I'm working through an educational port at the moment and will blog about it as I go.

I've never seen Ocaml come even close to C in micro-benchmarks but in large applications it can win on macro-optimisations eg Deens is significantly faster than BIND with much less code (www.utdallas.edu/~hamlen/Slides/Melange.pdf)

I have nothing but vague questions :) I've been thinking for a while now that I would be able to find much more work by teaming up with some web/frontend devs.

The US (and probably the UK) are quite strict about not looking for jobs whilst on a tourist visa. Both countries also make it really hard to get a work visa. Given your experience it sounds like your best chance is big data style jobs. Off

A pet hate of mine - the companies page just has a list of icons. Put a short mission statement next to each so people don't have to click through to a hundred different websites just to find out if they are interested.

That's a crying shame. Project Zomboid is shaping up to be an excellent game. I was looking forward to seeing the next update.

Love is beautiful in still shots but the actual game gives me motion-sickness. Even Mirrors Edge, which is renowned for being vomit-inducing, didn't have that effect on me. I think it's because the background just won't stay still.

It's basically cpu scaling but for the graphics card. It saves power but its not well supported in linux (apparently - I have no issues).
