Ask HN: In the current crisis is starting freelancing doable? - <AUTHOR> Hey everyone, I'm a full stack JavaScript dev in London with 10 years experience, working as a tech lead in a big company. Because of the Coronavirus directly impacting our revenues, we are being put at 80% pay / 80% time.<p>Do you think in the current climate it would be doable to start freelancing / consulting? I've already got an LTD setup because I used to be a contractor, but would like to look at turnkey work, where I'm given a project for a fixed price. <comment><USER2> _> we are being put at 80% pay / 80% time._

Uhm, you want to check the fine prints. If you've been _furloughed_ , which is typically what people on "80%" are, then _the Treasury_ is paying your salary, but you're NOT supposed to work AT ALL. If you are actually working, you and your company are effectively committing benefit fraud.

 _> Do you think in the current climate it would be doable to start freelancing _

Everything is doable with enough grit and enough resources; IR35 is a big concern though, because it has cut demand significantly by scaring companies away from contractors - even if the postponed changes are postponed again next April, HMRC will keep the finger on the trigger.

This said, this is probably not the right time to sell in general; it's the right time to buy / invest / build while prices are rock-bottom.

 _> would like to look at turnkey work_

That's not a great move at the best of times, unless that "turnkey" is highly automated (in which case it's likely to go away soon as somebody starts selling the fully-automated version). Fixed-price is a recipe for getting screwed.

<comment><USER3> It's highly unlikely he's been furloughed. I don't think a big tech company would make the mistake of having staff on that scheme working anyway, they would be in a lot of trouble if they did, but as the limit is £2500 per month I'm sure the OP would be on noticeable less than 80% of his previous pay as a London tech lead if he had been.

The 80% rate of the furlough scheme does seem to have prompted a lot of companies to think this is a suitable rate for a hard times haircut to give thier staff generally though, even they are still working 100%.

<comment><USER4> A previous employer cut everyone's salary by 20% during the dot-com bust and I've heard the 20% figure thrown around quite a bit over the past month--with or without a reduction in hours.

It seems to be a figure that a lot of companies settle on as a significant cost savings in the aggregate while not being such a big cut that (most) people can no longer afford to pay their bills or otherwise feel forced to just walk out the door.

<comment><USER5> The 20% number comes from the expected revenue hit companies are looking at. Honestly, they're doing it because they can get away with it right now. What do you want to bet that many of these 20% salary reductions will be permanent?

In my view, these companies can fuck right off. They're not paying their workers more when they have a great quarter, so why should they pay people less when things aren't going well? I suspect the companies that cut pay / furloughed a significant amount of workers will have a hard time hiring when this is all over.

<comment><USER6> The reduction in pay comes with a reduction in workload. Which means that for most companies adopting the 20% paycut, they are also transitioning into a 4-day work week. Its hardly a related to some corporate greed trying to squeeze their workers, but a sign of desperate measures for desperate times.

<comment><USER7> I have a hard time believing that workload is reduced. In theory it makes sense, but companies are not charities, and unless the government makes it the rule that workload gets reduced, I think it's just gonna be a direct paycut.

</comment></comment></comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER8> The requirements to start as a freelancer, in any kind of economic climate:

* You have an accountant

* You are not afraid to draw up a contract

* Have a skill that has higher demand than supply and will remain so for a foreseeable time

* Have worked on paid side projects a few times

* One existing customer is interested in hiring you for 3 months (worth of money) or more

Ensure you set aside 50% of which 2/3rds for tax and 1/3 for bad times. Maybe you pay less tax in the end. Yay! "Free" money! _Never get in the reverse situation._

If you don't have customers: don't do it. I have been making a lot of contacts in the 15 years+ I have as a professional and it's still hard to find work right now. If you're good for a few months then we're out of the pit in terms of demand for sure.

<comment><USER9> Huh. I know a lot of people who did almost none of this and freelanced their way into successful businesses. Why is having an accountant necessary? Where I live, even simple books from the office supply store and basic tax software will tell you what you need to know as a beginner. Personally I operated my business just fine for 15 years without an accountant.

Drawing up a contract, similar, but here I would certainly mention that you can also consult a professional if needed, like a business consultant or attorney. You can also write a letter contract and communicate well enough that contracts don't matter that much in the end, which is the case for a lot of freelancers, guessing the majority.

Knowing what skill has high demand is less important than finding a team or business that likes you and needs you. If you are in tech, someone probably needs your help. Many times they will find a way for you to stick around anyway, if it's a good psychological complement.

If no one can pay you for three months worth of money, you get to decide how long you hang in there. Personally I found a veteran graphic designer who was excited to work together and started sending work immediately. Within 3 years of that I was turning down more work than I was accepting. But there was never any promise of income.

Setting aside 50% would have been impossible due to medical bills at the time. I was lucky to have free rent via the in-laws and a wife who was working as well. Still, when freelancing picked up the problem quickly became burnout and setting boundaries. This has been the same with many of my peers. Many of us went through 2008 and even the dot com crash together. Demand was never really a problem except at the very start, but the perception of an urgent need to hustle for every last client can easily break you.

<comment><USER8> My accountants saved me enough money every year to be basically free, while I don't need to worry about all kinds of stuff. I did my taxes myself often as well, but I didn't like to do it (instead of doing billable work or having spare time).

Contracts: I really suck at them. I rarely do them. I got lucky so far, perhaps 2 clients that managed to pinch me but then again assholes will be assholes with or without contracts. But hourly work is easier than fixed price. Especially when it goes sour.

> Knowing what skill has high demand is less important than finding a team or > business that likes you and needs you

True. I'm a specialist in mobile remote communication solutions which should be somewhat sought after right now but I can't find matching clients. I should have networked way more the last years than I did, and I don't consider myself a bad networker.

> Still, when freelancing picked up the problem quickly became burnout and > setting boundaries.

The worst thing that always happens that after a slump in work I'm going basically YES YES YES YES YES YES to all work and I've never been in the situation that when one job finally came through at least two others I've YES'ed came at more or less the same time.

So going from 0 to 60 hours per week for a few weeks. Which after a week or four really starts to turn into 30 hours worth of productivity while being behind your computer for 70.

<comment><USER10> As a consultant with no accountant -- in what areas did they save you that much? Entirely taxes?

<comment><USER8> Yeah all kinds of tax laws I didn't know existed, places where I could earn a bit more, starting a company together with my wife so the earnings are divided instead of going into one big pile where the top part gets taxed most.

But also a US$1500 bill that never was paid by a customer by going over bills vs the business bank account's movements.

</comment></comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER11> Contract work has been under attack by IR35, fortunately this has been postponed by a year.

These are uncertain times. A lot of contractors have moved back to permie and competition is high.

You can try to obtain a 6 or 12 month contract if you have a decent stack of emergency cash (e.g. £25k) lying around.

I wouldn't overanalyze it. Try to see your options out there.

If you can get 3 contract offers in 1 month, then obviously you're still fine. If you can get 1 contract offer after trying for 3 months, I'd consider not taking it.

Analyze and feel the market, so you can form your opinion instead of just going based on stories that other people produce. Some people can't find a low-paying job in the best of times. Some people will have plenty of opportunities in the worst of times.

<comment><USER12> This seems pretty sensible advice to me. I've seen it go both ways for contracts at the moment, some are really struggling and others are doing really well.

As ever, with contracting you're always taking on some risk when you come to the end of a contract. Much of your ability to get a contract will depend on your network (as well as skills and experience).

A lot of it depends on whether OP is looking to do full time contracting and leave their current job or just fill the 20% of their time they have now. But either way, the best idea is to go and look for the work and see what's around.

<comment><USER13> +1

The picture seems to be mixed, not just in the contract market. That might mean those out of contract are swarming around what's available, but you only need to land one contract to get started.

Personally, I don't know _anyone_ who's not moved to a new contract for the same client over the financial year boundary, but that's obviously just anecdotal and most of the contractors I know are in the same sector.

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER14> The contract market in London is in a difficult place at the moment. IR35 has generally made buyers weary (in a way they weren't before) as well as limited the type of work contractors are given; budgets have also been very tightly squeezed because of Corona, it's hitting contractors pretty hard.

As a 'buyer' of these services myself, full-stack JS dev contractors are in one of the most oversaturated parts of the market and many in my network are attempting to find full-time work at the moment. Those that aren't are having to compete on rates in a way they never have before, definitely a buyers market.

The other side of this is how much more volatile contractor work is than before, many companies with a mixed full-time/contractor team see their contractor pool as the most 'expendable' when cuts need to be made. Many people in my network have had existing long-term contracts ended with little to no notice.

I've also seen limited evidence the pushing back of IR35 to next year is changing the policies towards contractors at large corporates, where (by volume) most contractors get their contracts.

In short, I don't think it's the best time, but: if you do make the jump, make sure you have contracts SIGNED before you make any big decisions. Not a hand- shake or an email, a written contract. If you can get that, then you'll be in a good place.

<comment><USER15> Interesting. How is the market in London for frontend devs, specifically ones working in the React stack (plus some GraphQL)?

I was in London last year and got the impression that it's a pretty lackluster market - high cost of living, average earning potential. I did some back of the napkin math and realized it only made sense if I worked remotely and occasionally visited London (once a month, twice a month maybe?).

What do you think is the going rate in London for short-term (up to 3 months max, preferable 1-1.5 month contracts) freelancers that don't live there but can occasionally visit for meetings and such?

<comment><USER14> Pretty saturated as well, lots of FE folks looking for contracts at the moment.

Day rates of £400-1000 a day for FE devs were common before COVID, now I'd expect ~20% less than that but YMMV.

Remote and visiting occasional is getting a lot more common for contractors these days, so you could detonate it work.

<comment><USER16> £4-600 sure, but £1000 day rates? Who's getting that?

<comment><USER14> £1,000+ is pretty standard for Lead/Principal level engineers, in my experience, especially in financial services where it's often even higher than that.

</comment></comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER17> Definitely. With such an economic contraction, you're going to see companies hiring contractors for a while because they don't have to commit to the full overhead of an employee. We saw a huge influx of freelancers in 2008-2009 and as the economy grew pre-covid19, more and more freelancers took jobs at companies because of salaries, benefits, etc. We will very likely see a repeat of that.

Things to make sure of: make sure your rates take into account your overhead. You're going to have to pay for your own insurance, pay withholding taxes, business licenses, account for some time off/sick days, etc.

After years of freelancing, attempting to set aside money for taxes and _never_ paying into retirement, I started using an app called [https://www.catch.co/](https://www.catch.co/) to track all of this and it allowed me to focus more on freelancing and less on the overhead.

</comment><comment><USER18> If you can find clients to hire you, anything is possible. I started freelancing during the Great Recession (because I couldn't get a job) and was able to make it work.

Find at least one client before you quit, though. And make sure you have at least 6 months of savings so that even if that client fired you on day 1, you'd be okay.

</comment><comment><USER19> From my experience in the last 2 months, companies are scaling back their IT projects now. Got several contracts that were supposed to start later this year and they were canceled.

So there will be more competition for less bread. But you can try.

<comment><USER20> Counter to that, a lot of companies are scaling up their web/mobile presence and offerings because they can't let their customers into the building. I'm a contract programmer and business is arguably booming.

<comment><USER21> What market segments are you seeing this in?

<comment><USER20> I mostly operate in the banking industry right now.

<comment><USER21> Good to know. Feels like a strong place to be. I'm just starting out and most of my contacts are in advertising in one shape or another, which hasn't been nearly as active.

I wonder if the best way to get started in a niche is to just start cold- emailing with a service.

</comment></comment></comment></comment></comment><comment><USER22> My sense is that freelancers become a lot more attractive in the short / medium term because: \- WFH / remote work will be the norm for a while, and if there's no benefit to having a FTE in the office with you, why not contract lots of work out? \- freelancers are a lot more flexible in terms of overhead than FTEs, and the economy will likely be jittery for a while

</comment><comment><USER23> Just anecdotally, I've been hearing from friends that work from Upwork hasn't been affected from COVID. I think platforms like Upwork/Fiverr might even be more enticing for employers during recessions. Of course the pay there is not very competitive, but just giving you 1 data point.

<comment><USER24> personally on upwork i have noticed a decrease in "good" job postings and an increase in proposals. anecdotal. but i think it's a mistake to assume that _any_ business has not been fundamentally affected by covid in some way.

<comment><USER25> I'm sure it's also going to become a buyer's market, so the prices will drop. Does Upwork have a "UK only" option? I know they have a "US only" option, where you can bypass alot of the worst projects and the race to the bottom.

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER26> I say (from experience) during hard times is the best time to start.

You will not be lured into massive fixed costs and start with the absolute minimum and required, which you can scale up when your business start flying.

As long as you start tight, you will stand a good change.

<comment><USER27> What fixed costs would a freelancer have?

<comment><USER28> \- an accountant \- web hosting \- email service \- company phone

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER29> Aside from the legalities regarding your employer/employment.

I expect more companies are going to be using freelancers for projects and tasks to minimize using employees since everything is currently uncertain.

I wouldn't recommend using online services to find projects. Reach out to your network (outside of your employer/co-workers) to find projects.

Research what to charge and how to manage your freelance projects.

Now could also be a good time to use your 20% time to build up an audience for future info products or start stair stepping from products to a SaaS (Rob Walling, see below).

You might enjoy StartupsForTheRestOfUs.com podcast, start in the archives with episode 1.

Build Your SaaS is a great podcast as well.

Good luck.

</comment><comment><USER30> It depends on your clients. Don't put all your eggs in one basket which I did.

My two current clients in Germany are heavily invested in the automotive industry. They have everything on stop for the manufacturing and their software department is not working their full 100% capacity. On the other side, I hear lots of good news from people who are bringing physical services to the web. The digital revolution is just starting here and people have to keep up with more and more demand.

So yeah, I think there is lots of opportunity. It really depends on who you are aiming for as clients.

<comment><USER31> > bringing physical services to the web

What does that mean?

<comment><USER25> I presume companies who would never have considered online are being forced to rethink their position. For example, I take Pilates and my instructor quickly rethought how to do the exercises in order to continue remote sessions. Now that she's done that work, her clients in the future will not be limited to the local area.

</comment></comment></comment><comment><USER32> You have a network for sure and a lot of relevant people are still however working, so just spend a couple of days networking from home, making cold calls and preparing a portfolio?

</comment><comment><USER33> It's completely dependent on your ability to close the deal. If you can get the business then yes, if not then no, and it's hard to tell which will happen without you trying to get a deal signed. I'd recommend reaching out informally to places you have contacts and going from there. If you get no traction then you know the answer.

Also, make sure you setup the contract with short milestones as some companies will slow in paying.

</comment><comment><USER34> i used to be a contractor in 2002. I was not a big success, but it paid my bills for that year. If you have similar inclinations then my advice is to stick with your current job, as long as possible...

Looking to move into modern systems programming for internet scale systems. I've done a lot of sustaining work in the past but I want to write more novel code. Over the years, I've acquired a fair number of skills that I'd like to apply. I have a couple of personal projects I've worked on, such as an android app (java) for a non-profit that has an accompanying backend in django (python). I've another C++ project that is a key value store with a REST API. There's also my reddit AMA FAQ creation software. That one's done in python. It vectorizes questions and clusters them based on the resulting representation; the result is that similar questions get grouped together so more people can get answers to their questions. Then there's my Ruby/Grape activity stream server. It creates feeds based on whatever objects you create in the system. I wanted to learn Ruby so this is the project I've started to do just that! I'm also open to non-conventional software jobs, like sustaining, or anything you have in mind.

I consult on machine-learning, statistics and software development. I help companies make data driven decisions by taking advantage of the data they have, building predictive models with that data, integrating expert knowledge, solving computational challenges and interpreting the results.

Background: Tim has a PhD in Physics and several years experience as a post- doc working at CERN. My PhD research focussed on analysing large amounts of data using advanced statistical methods and machine-learning techniques. As a research fellow at CERN and EPFL I created and lead software teams responsible for designing the upgrade of the LHCb experiment. I value clear communication and often find myself interpreting between different groups of experts. I contribute to several open source projects which form the scientific python stack. I created a successful training program for scientists which dramatically reduces the on boarding time for new members of the collaboration.

I'm a web developer native to Bangkok, Thailand with experience in Python (Pyramid, Flask, Twisted), Ruby (Rails, Sinatra) and other web-related technologies. I also do Clojure and have strong interest in Erlang and Haskell. I can also manage FreeBSD and Linux servers (with strong preference toward FreeBSD). I'm currently working as a developer in a fintech startup in Thailand. Part of my reason for looking for freelance work is that I love doing things I have never done before, and want to extend my skills to the field I am not already familiar with.

Before joining the current company, I used to work in an outsource company that mainly subcontracted for startups. My previous work includes: building a simple CMS, building time-based ACL management system, building schedule management system (office hours), building WYSIWYG editor from scratch, building gamification system where user is given access according to their contribution, building a FIX server/client with Node.js, and few others.

I'm a full stack web developer with over five years of experience turning ideas into production apps. My clients have been startups, agencies, big companies and non-profits, examples include the New York Times, Cleversafe, Planted and Charitybuzz. I prefer writing Ruby and using Rails on the server side but I have also built apps using Ruby with Sinatra and Python with Django or Flask and node.js with Express. I prefer Angular.js for client side apps, though I have also used Ember.js. I'm a good communicator and one of my favorite recent professional experiences was tutoring a beginner programmer in web development (now he's a fulltime dev). In addition to development I also do UX design.

Recent projects include: A custom CMS built with Rails for the New York Times Conferences series, UX and Django app for scheduling test suite runs at Cleversafe, a Sinatra + clientside JS application for an international study abroad non-profit.

I'm a C++ expert with over 15 years professional experience in the games industry (EA, THQ, several smaller independent developers). I have extensive realtime 3D graphics experience as well as expertise in optimization, debugging and console development.

I'm currently working on a Virtual Reality project as I see massive potential for VR over the next few years but I'm interested in remote contracting opportunities up to 50% of my time, particularly in the VR space.

I have experience working on many different platforms and in teams ranging in size from small indie projects to AAA game teams with 100s of members.

Location: North-east UK

What I do: Reliable, scalable services.

In the past I've run large-scale Debian installations doing devops before it had a name, and been responsible for servers in Antarctica. I have experience with a wide range of different Unix tools and technologies, at various levels of the stack. This gives me the ability—and the perspective—to pick the best combination of tools for any particular job, rather than simply treating everything as a nail because all I have is a hammer.

I can help you build a back end for your new web or mobile app, or architect a scalable platform to power it.

Previous work:

\- School data processing app (Elixir/Phoenix, PostgreSQL)

\- Custom data dashboards (R, Geckoboard)

\- High-reliability, long-term timelapse platform for inaccessible locations. (FreeBSD, Arduino, Python, Shell)

\- Migration of existing Node.js+Firebase service to Golang+PostgreSQL on AWS

\- Feasibility study investigating the possiblility of writing custom code to interface with a biometric timeclock (Common Lisp)

\- Proof-of-concept hardware development for projects linking the physical and virtual worlds in real time (Arduino, Node.js)

\- Project management webapp for construction companies (Rails, AngularJS, Bootstrap)

Building software applications is as much about coding as it is about understanding and solving the actual business problems!

I'm a Zend & SensioLabs certified web developer / consultant with a focus on solving business problems and adding value through product optimisation. This can be done in many ways: creating a new application, suggesting an action plan or architecture, optimizing current set-up / architecture / applications, etc.

At the moment my technology focus is on PHP, Symfony, AWS, MongoDB, MySQL, APIs, NodeJS and Docker. I also care a lot about security (InfoSec), performance, quality, best practices & continuous learning. You can contact me for projects at [http://ifdattic.com](http://ifdattic.com)

Few of the problems I solved for my clients:

        * optimize infrastructure to reduce costs by $10000+ per year
        * implement backup & work flow to avoid using data due to
          incompetent developers

My partner and I build three types of apps for companies:

1\. SaaS apps

2\. Internal apps (workflow automation, team communication, etc)

3\. Web apps to generate leads for your company (think [https://website.grader.com](https://website.grader.com))

We've been building apps online for 25+ years combined for companies like ESPN, MySpace, and Predictable Revenue.

We focus on helping you get a good business outcome. We've both built and run profitable SaaS apps so you're getting business partners who happen to be able to code.

Some recent work:

1\. Most recently we helped take Chimp.net from zero to $85M in revenue. We also created a mini-product on Chimp to generate a 25% increase in traffic.

2\. We're helping Predictable Revenue grow their B2B SaaS app.

We're both "product engineers" \- we focus on building a great product. We can do customer development, etc, if you need us to. We use Ruby on Rails, Postgres/MySQL, jQuery, are exploring React on a couple of projects, write automated tests, and know how to ship quality software.

I don't just do programming. Rather I solve your problem choosing the most appropriate tool and technology.

I'm up for fixed-price jobs as well as permanent or long-term remote ones which are more preferable.

My average hourly rate is $30, but it might vary depending on the volume of work you have.

      - If you're just browsing and you run a business, drop me an
        email, I'd love to figure out ways to add value to your business.

      - If you have an idea already I work with most technologies
        and can quickly build an MVP/prototype from scratch or
        get up-to-speed to contribute on a currently-running project.

* * *

I'm an experienced full-stack developer.

I've worked in the following technologies on the server-side (Node, Rust, Postgres, Python, Neo4j), and on the client-side (JavaScript, React, Swift, etc.) However, I can probably pick up any language or tool that you're already using, so if I haven't mentioned it, just ask.

Don't hesitate to get in touch if you think I can help you in any way!

Highly scalable, distributed system.

If your startup is start to growing maybe a little too fast and you are worried that your infrastructure is not going to cut it any more, you start to experiencing downtime or your latency is growing, maybe is a good idea to don't screw it up now, we should talk.

If you need to develop an highly concurrent, fault tolerant and highly scalable system, is a good idea to don't waste all the budget trying to learn how such system need to be designed, we should talk.

I usually set up a virtual meeting to understand your problem, I will share with you what I believe are the best steps to take, all free of charge.

Finally, if and only if you want to keep collaborating I will provide a quote for my work.

I am available for backend work on existing and greenfield projects. I am also happy to help you set up your environment, starting with

* Helping you set up a proper versioned repo (if you don't have one)

* Configuring a proper dev environment,

* If you have an existing production environment I can create a highly customized dev configuration that will match prod as closely as possible,

* Installing and configuring a build server (I am familiar with JetBrains' TeamCity and Atallasian's Bamboo, but can also set up Jenkins)

* Setting up your deployment process using the above mentioned build server of your choice

I am comfortable with Ubuntu 12.04/14.04, Debian Wheezy and CentOS 6.x and can install and configure everything from Apache/Nginx to MariaDB/PostegreSQL, and much more, all easily configurable via a simple YAML file and provisioned via Puppet.

</comment><comment><USER97> SEEKING WORD — Remote, Central NJ (Office in Princeton)

My site is [http://juliusparishy.com/](http://juliusparishy.com/) and my email address is firstname.lastname@example.com

To get straight to the point, I'm an expert iOS developer with skills across many other platforms too; I've created APIs in Python (Django, Flask) or Ruby (Rails, Sinatra), I've created web apps and desktop apps, and many mobile applications.

In the last year, I've built 3 major apps, Charlie App's iOS app [0], the Daily Burn Apple TV app that was featured by Apple both on the App Store and in Apple Retail Stores [1], and the On The Regimen Macros Tracking app [2]. In the past, I worked for Fitocracy and built both of their iOS apps [3].

I've very good at what I do and I can use my experience to propel your project forward. All you have to do is get in touch to get the ball rolling. I currently have availability for one new project and I'm excited to work on something cool.

You can check out my GitHub ([https://github.com/jparishy](https://github.com/jparishy)) and Twitter feed ([https://twitter.com/jparishy](https://twitter.com/jparishy)) to get a feel for the types of things I work on and the kind of person I am. Descriptions of my larger projects and some articles I've written about iOS development can be found on my website. Also check out RunSwift and TestAPNS to see some free dev tools I've created [4].

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Porting 140K lines of code to Flow - <AUTHOR> https://engineering.wework.com/adventures-in-static-typing-react-redux-flow-oh-my-284c5f74adac <comment><USER2> Couldn't you use `ExtractReturn` with a reference to the action creator when handing the actions in your reducers? I've done it in typescript and it makes things much more pleasant.</comment>


Orwell was hailed a hero for fighting in Spain, Today he'd be terrorist - <AUTHOR> http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/feb/10/orwell-hero-terrorism-syria-british-fighters-damned <comment><USER2> Well, those traveling to fight in Syria are (as I understand it) fighting alongside Al Queda and that's probably why they are being labeled terrorists in this case.

<comment><USER3> Nonsense.

It's not clear from your comment whether you took the time to read the article, but Monbiot's point is that under the 2006 legislation anyone fighting for _ANY_ "political, ideological, religious or racial motive" (which would apply for example to the US war of independence) is guilty of terrorism - so this law makes it illegal to fight if you are following your conscience, but has nothing to say about mercenaries. Strangely enough, at the same time the UK and US governments are providing material aid to the very people that some of these volunteers are fighting with.

Your comment completely ignores the complexities of the Syrian conflict (which has many more than two sides!), and seems to imply that terrorism is wrong by dint of the cause it supports, rather than by virtue of being an immoral strategy.</comment></comment>


Marriage = happy life? - <AUTHOR> https://micaelwidell.com/marriage-happy-life/ <comment><USER2> Reminds of a Dilbert.

Tina: Someday, I want to get married because studies show the married people are happier.

Dilbert: A smarter interpretation is that no one wants to marry an unhappy person.

Tina: You're annoying.

Dilbert: With any luck, your soul mate won't be as perceptive.

Build a Multiplayer (.io) Web Game with Node.js - <AUTHOR> https://victorzhou.com/blog/build-an-io-game-part-2/ <comment><USER2> Very straightforward implementation and a breeze to follow, nicely done. One question though, why does the server send only every second update? Wouldn't it make sense to simply lower the server tick rate?

<comment><AUTHOR> Thanks! Keeping the server's update loop at 60 / second makes the game simulation more accurate. Too low of an update rate can lead to missed collisions - for example, a bullet moving fast enough could pass right through a player in the time between updates. Of course, that can be easily resolved, but it proves the point that more server updates = more accurate simulation.

On the flip side, we want to limit the number of updates we send to clients to keep bandwidth usage reasonable, so the server only sends updates 30 times / second.</comment></comment>
