I'm building Provisor: situational awareness for event organizers. See your team on the map; and position & collaborate in real-time. Like ATAK, but much simpler to use.

If I calculated correctly, the 75th percentile is about 43k in euro's. That's quite a bit below market for the Netherlands, but does not take cost of living into account.

Yes. Definitively yes. If you're a typical web developer or agency, you're going to have a lot of one-off engagements, project and campaign websites. Those cost money to support, and your customer should supply that money. We never host without both a modest hosting fee, and a SLA for fixes, updates and perfective maintenance.

This fails utterly when you can't control your clients. My student society for example ran into this problem. Students bring their own laptops and installing our root certificate on all of them is infeasible (if they even would allow us to do so). As a consequence, we need to expose critical internal services on the public internet, some of which contain private user data.

I've started to notice that customers are getting uneasy at the prospect of incoming legislation here in The Netherlands. I believe there's a new law in the works that makes accessibility mandatory in some cases, mostly pseudo-government related content though, so its scope remains limited.
Re:Dos and don'ts on designing for accessibility (2016)

I'm aware of most techniques for making websites more accessible, and try to apply them where possible.
Unfortunately, the problem is most often not in applying the techniques, but convincing non-technical colleagues that these steps are important, even if they take a little longer.

Using HSTS on a website will generally prevent your browser from allowing you to continue, which is fair: the website owner has explicitly indicated the website should only ever be used over a encrypted connection, and that is not the case..
Re:Approve or Reject: Can You Moderate Five New York Times Comments?
on Wednesday September 21, 2016 @04:06PM (#12551754)
Minor gripe: that's the time it takes you to read both the introduction, think about the context and judge the comment. Presumably, one would save a few seconds (and thus a lot of time in the long run) by being aware of the context and the article while working.
Still: major amounts of work. Though I presume that having comments hidden by default would take off some pressure: commenters won't know/notice their comments takes 14:55 or 13:29 to show up publicly.

No, Fedex would have been liable if it had knowingly continued to ship illegal drugs after having been notified by the government. In this case, Fedex asked for needed details, and was rejected.

Re:Why I don’t like hackathons

I've worked with teams on 48-hour film projects, in which you create a short (7 min) film in a weekend, quite comparable to a hackathon. On a team of 20 people, we charge two participants fulltime with organising catering: healthy meals, snacks, etc. It really does wonders for the motivation and preventing cranky reactions from the stressed-out director of photography on Sunday afternoon
