Thats interesting! I only know Elance and Odesk from having a short look, and got the impression that is not worth the time to compete in a race to the bottom for small projects. Good to know, that there are also good projects. I guess nami

We are cursed by infinite ideas vs limited time. Applying the law of diminishing returns results in ideas having a negative value. It like going to a bank and asking for a big debt, if you even consider an idea. Its hard to get rid of an id

Moin atudute, you have !NOTHING! to show, at least not to me from the viewpoint of a search engine author. You show an empty page without JavaScript. ok ... lets be a nice human and allow scripts. Allowing nomadhouse.io: still blank page.

I did sell streams for several years, and have to claim please do !NOT! use icecast. The "standard" streaming server is still shoutcast (sc_trans_040/sc_serv), even if this software is not maintained for nearly 10 years, sinc

Lets look, how this new wiki behaves without JS, from the viewpoint of a search engine. e.g. compare http://c2.fed.wiki.org/methodology-subsets.html with and without javascript. The new wiki is doomed by design, because con

I really wonder why nobody did use an off the shelf high payload drone, e.g. an octocopter, to attack a drone pilot on its way home, at home, at the football match, or when he picks up his children from school. Those drone pilots are combat

I avoid selling hours. Instead a maintenance contract should sell a solution, e.g. - they have an actual contact address - you send them new versions of your software (nothing in GPL forces you to publish new versions), - you send them dat

Copyright: You own the copyright by default, and only license further use of your work. This license can be very permissive, e.g. MIT, BSD, viral like GPL, proprietary, or even insane. Its your choice, and one of the questions you should de

Hackers news work perfectly fine without JavaScript. JS should be an enhancement to improve UX, but not a doorstopper for search engines, web scrappers, and blind people.

This page follows a typical JavaScript antipattern of not showing anything to search engines, web scrapers and people who block JavaScript. A noscript tag sould at least tell me, what the site offers when enabling JS, to give me a reasont t

You wont live in a village close to them, as Indian government dislodged the Adivasi of Baiga and Gond tribes, who traditionally lived in the area, that is now a wild life reservation in Kanha, Similipal and Odisha Gondwana. Those people go

I would follow the RFC and the Unix manual layout. I normally use XML to write my documentation, and simple xslt to convert them to roff to produce text/plain and pdf and html.

Hourly payment is good for employees, and bad for consultants. I'm now consulting again, and I avoid selling hours, because hours do not scale. Instead I sell solutions, because a solution to a problem likely has a much higher value th

I have to agree, and even add: Never tell them first what you what want as payment. My method was always to say: Lets delay this unimportant money question. I'm a coder, I want to talk about coding, about your company culture, about yo

I wont call the Swiss decision a currency war. Swiss decided for itself, that it wanted to float the Franc again. But we had a currency war at 16th December 2014 when Rubel dropped by nearly 40% on one day, and went up again next day. This

The main question is: In what area/country are the parasites resistant against those toxins. e.g. in Bremen neither advantage nor frontline works against fleas. And I'm missing ARDAP by Shell in this list.

Lua itself is much faster then Python or Ruby. Both languages look, as if the author did read 'A little Smalltalk' by Timothy Budd, though that its easy to design a new language, and repeated all errors(simplifications) out of the

The main reason Lua stayed small, is that its developed as an open source, closed shop software. I'm using my own PHP microframework called DataFace for over 20 years. Nearly no two applications share the same DataFace code, each of th

Quarternions are much easier then the typical vector arithmetic, that is used by OpenGL ES. Linden Scripting Language even provides quarternions conversion with llEuler2Rot, llRot2Euler and llAxisAngle2Rot. See: http://wiki.secon

I prefer the idiom "redesigning a roof". Humans build houses since thousands of years, and we still need architects, because every roof is slightly different depending on weather, climate, available material, size and shape.

The expensive mistake was to use Amazon at all. An own domain name costs about $1/month, an OVH root server less then $10. Install a minimal Debian and Linux Containers on it, and expand your own cloud, if you need it, e.g. by extendin

The worst point of R is debugging. R scripts often fail without telling any line number, even if script starts with an "options(error=traceback)". And I never seen line numbers of warnings. So you get errors, crashes and warning,

Take a look at wildfiregames 0ad, if you like RTS. 0ad is an open source RTS, where its easy to write your own AI in JavaScript. A much bigger challenge would be an AI that is able to walk an avatar in Secondlife. First perhaps easy walk on
