How to calculate your hourly rate as a freelancer?

Many people struggle with this question. Some just try to make as much as a full-time employee makes (and ignore that they won't be able to bill as many days). Others follow tips on startup related websites that suggest to ask for 20% to 50% more than an salary would yield (and ignore the additional risk and expenses they have).

Below you will find some numbers to help you calculate how high your hourly or daily rate should be.

Your yearly income should be higher than an average salary

• You take more risk than full time employees, phases without income are likely

Intercom user_hash

• Code for generating the user_hash value for Intercom's Identity verfication (Note: Identity verification was prevoiusly called Secure Mode)
• Based on http://www.jokecamp.com/blog/examples-of-creating-base64-hashes-using-hmac-sha256-in-different-languages/#ruby
• When creating this for mobile, the final output needs to be in lowercase (the web version accepts both upper and lower case)

Remember that your secret key should never be exposed to the public

• So Javascript code below should only be used for testing unless modified and used to run on a server

Converting a Word Document to Markdown in One Move

The Problem

A lot of important government documents are created and saved in Microsoft Word (*.docx). But Microsoft Word is a proprietary format, and it's not really useful for presenting documents on the web. So, I wanted to find a way to convert a .docx file into markdown.

Installing Pandoc

On a mac you can use homebrew by running the command brew install pandoc.
