Everything you say makes sense, except for your first sentence. For people that do frontend/JavaScript full time and work on complex long term projects, an easy to learn framework that allows you to hack things together quickly is pretty low on the priority list.
I'd just like to comment on your relationship with your dad. Take this with a grain of salt, and consider that what I'm about to say might be entirely wrong.

I think you have emotional baggage here that's preventing you from using the resources that are available to you. First of all, you don't sound like an entrepreneur, you sound much more like a hacker (in the good sense). But you use the word entrepreneur which tells me that you want to make money, but you're not developing a relationship with your dad (who can teach you about running a business) and you're not selling anything (which is the essence of being an entrepreneur). I have gone through some of the same things. I didn't want to work at a big tech company because I was worried about loosing my freedom... but that turned out to be an unfounded fear, once I got over it, which took eight years. And I was older than you before I moved out of my parents' house.

Are you scared that you'll "sell out" and see your dreams vanish? Are you scared that you won't have enough time or money to do the things you want to do? Are you jealous of the wunderkinds of Silicon Valley, the people who went to Stanford and MIT that are making waves in tech?

Yeah, that's normal. It doesn't go away just because you get a job at one of the Big Five tech companies--speaking from personal experience here. It doesn't go away just because you create a startup company--in fact, it usually gets worse. Again, speaking from personal experience.

Take an inventory of what your resources are, and how you make money, where you can move, who you can meet. Take some time to figure out exactly what you want. All your life you will be stretching your resources until you can get what you want.

Maybe you can move and find a business cofounder somewhere who will take advantage of you. Maybe you can work for your dad and reach out to him... if you can convince him that the cool things you're doing are really going to change his life, and not just shuffle money around in Silicon Valley, then you can convince other people too. And if he can convince you that the world of business has something to offer too, well, that could be good lesson.

Again, take my perspective with a grain of salt. There are a lot of smart people on HN but like all humans, we only give advice through the lens of our personal experiences and biases.
It's hardly bizarre, but it's not put in terms of cortical development either. It is however a bit of, "Give me a girl at an impressionable age, and she will be mine for life."

Ignoring that reality, and why 12 year olds are more likely to pick up a machete than a 30 year old, is what's bizarre.
My biggest complaint is different rates for network egress. https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing egress for world and then there is China and Australia. It is unpredictable and you can't include it in your price models.
> if your event streams contain mostly CRUD (possibly ANY) then you're most likely applying it incorrectly. Its not just a version history of your data.

Thanks for that. I'd made that mistake: I have a system which now needs to become distributed (a copy of it goes offline for a couple of weeks, and has to merge back into the main datastore) and keep a history of changes. It's currently CRUD backed by MySQL, and I'd latched onto event sourcing as what I'd need.

> The event type itself is data, which provides context and semantics over and above the notion of writes and deletes.

OK, going to have to get my head around that :)
If it's an acquisition, would they really stop all activity and development? Smells more like they run out of money...

Seems like this got flagged. HN mods any idea why? Was on the front page #5, then pushed to #48.
My point is that it's the same thing. Individuals with outsized power and influence can affect billions of people based on their own judgments and implicitly make those judgments automatically for billions.

That's what this question is all about - should machine systems be responsible for the kind of sweeping decisions that humans are making on those populations now? Probably.
Clarifying because I was confused at first: this is the React/Node.js tech stack that the website is built on, not the ecommerce platform that drives it.
> I never really understand this. Surely Samsung has the technical expertise to develop an OS to suit their own hardware?

Sure, they do. Its just a huge expense and then you've got to market both your tech stack and your app store to developers, otherwise, you've got a smart phone without apps to sell. With Android, you've got apps, plus you can still try to market your own unique stack on top of android and app store for additional benefit (and Samsung does), but in the worst case you've still got access to the Android ecosystem and Google Play Store, which provides value to your hardware.
There's some down-thread armchair speculation about why humans have two kidneys. I found it interesting, but instead of conniving my own theory did some searching.

The gist of it is that nobody seems to know, but the most simple explanation is that lateral symmetry is common in general because it's more efficiently encoded in the DNA. The organs & structures that don't come in twos are the odd exceptions, not the other way around.

On the one hand, I can agree with you. I don't see someone managing to fake 1000s of votes by walking in without identification. That would require a lot of manpower, I imagine. On the other, I think you or I would still be pretty annoyed if someone had walked in and voted for us.

True of most transactions I'd think. You meet in person, they can see your license plate. Communicate via text, they have your number. Selling something larger than can fit in your car? They come to your house. Many people won't buy something of any real value without some degree of accountability.

I think the surface area of a world where transactions are 100% anonymous is quite small.

Carlos, I don't understand, what are you trying to achieve.

"How can I believe in something?" - what does it mean? What do you want to believe in?

It seems that you really enjoy what you are doing and your parents have no problems with you living with them (they have been doing it for 26 years). What is the problem? You said that you have been living on your own for 7 years, were you making money by yourself?

If you are disappointed that your parents "don't believe in you", when you do nothing useful for them, while "consuming resources", you should move away, or get used to it. Sometimes you can not change people.
What's so special about Nutanix?
If it's neither of those, maybe a security breach that made them go into lockdown?
I'm curious: how do you think about client vs server side rendering? What happens where?
It's always good to see open source projects published, especially for tricky and often under-documented stuff like file system kexts.

Not to derail from this fine post, but I wanted to give a shoutout to FUSE for macOS (previously known as OSXFUSE). As an outsider from the project - merely a happy user - it seems to be a well maintained FUSE implementation for macOS, with signed kexts available. https://osxfuse.github.io/
Well, I don't know what all is in the paperback Necronomicon, because I'm a science fiction fan, not a Cthulhu Mythos camp follower. But if it's at all in accord with the depiction of cultists in Mythos fiction, I can see an argument that someone who genuinely buys into it, to a degree consistent with psychosis, might be more dangerous than someone who buys into something else to a similar degree.

It seems very probable that the cited book is the "Simon Necronomicon" [1], which appears to incorporate a lot of Derleth's rather disappointing Manichaeism. I'm not sure whether, in this context, that would make it more dangerous or less so, or indeed whether it would make any significant difference at all. I'd be curious to discuss the matter with someone like the person mentioned by the grandparent commenter. But I would very much prefer to do so in a context where I could be very certain he hadn't decided to follow me home.

You'd think Microsoft would be the go-to provider for SQL Server workloads, but Azure SQL is terribly expensive for some (many?) workloads. For read-intensive SQL Server workloads you'll be paying upwards of $465/mo (Premium P1 [1]) for something that can be easily handled by a beefy VM for a fraction of the price. Also, the Azure SQL pricing model links performance ('eDTUs') to storage which skews the billing model even further.

I love rethinkdb. I am about to launch my first ever production thing. Its built on rethink. Rethink is fucking great, I really have no idea what the speculation is (or what basis) but I hope for the best.

If we are throwing out radical theories; i'd say acquis/merger with digital ocean or gitlab. Who knows, but I trust all 3 of those companies.

"keeps" was a poor word choice. I've never stayed at an AirBNB (or VRBO, etc) on the same night I also stayed at a hotel, so if I choose one, then the other (in general) isn't getting my business.

Reading the rest of your comment, I don't really think we disagree except that you seem to think AirBNB is driving additional revenue into the economy ("Also, I've stayed at AirBnb locations where there was no other accommodations options") - before AirBNB was there, what would you have done? You would have either stayed at a hotel that was further away than you'd like, or stayed home.

The consumer is definitely winning though.

> In today's world finding your full name and address is incredibly easy. Yes, finding which precinct you vote in isn't as easy

That's fairly easy, too, since there is usually a direct mapping between addresses and precincts.

But to cast a fraudulent vote it takes more than doing that, it takes finding that information and using it to vote before the legitimate voter does -- and to do it undetected requires the legitimate voter not voting after you've done it, either.

Great insight there.

Additionally, the new guy will be much happier when he's treated the way you suggest. I know I would have appreciated that instead of the bs I got at my first proper job in the beginning.
I doubt most who say this sort of thing mean it literally (although no doubt some naive sorts do, but they usually are self-identifying through the other outrageous things they say, and thus can be ignored). But one counterpoint to keep in mind is that the alternative view is every company is running as efficiently as possible. I doubt anyone really always believes that, either. For example, when a story about Twitter was posted on HN recently, it was widely discussed that they probably don't need anywhere near as many engineers as they actually have, and could perhaps reduce costs to the point where they are at or near profitability just by reducing staff. There might be some truth to that. Point being, it's not that simple, and there are no absolutes.
It would appear to be $500+ million wasted, fairly typically, by the Pentagon brass.

>Segell maintains that information operations programmes did make a difference on the ground in Iraq. Some experts question this however.
A 2015 study by the Rand Corporation, a military think tank, concluded that “generating assessments of efforts to inform, influence, and persuade has proven to be challenging across the government and DoD.”

What the hell though, what's half a billion dollars for something that can't even demonstrate efficacy?

I saw this much later. This is a misquote of what I said:

>> Iran is probably the world's largest [...]
>> militarily expansionist.

(But, as I noted, even the Iran priests talk about "emancipating" the Islam holy places from Saudi Arabia -- that even scared the Gulf States and SA to work with Israel.)

How I got from working 3 jobs to $12,000/mo in revenue
I have been working with this sort of patterns for a while but I have yet to find good texts exploring the topic. Does anyone have book or paper recommendations for event sourcing? The stuff I have seen is mostly programmers reporting on something that worked on their particular domain. I am, looking for something more rigorous and comprehensive.
what is that complexity threshold? Self determined no doubt.

Guy A believes his custom design is simple enough to comprehend by anyone. Guy B doesn't agree.

It doesn't really matter at the end of the day. If you work in a team environment, the toolset will be pre-determined already. You don't have a choice.

If you're asking about why there's an upper limit to the spin, this Quora thread had some good info (Simmons-Duffin is a top notch expert on field theory): https://www.quora.com/Why-are-there-no-spin-3-2-or-higher-fu...
Short answer is that for too high a spin the theories become non-renormalizable and break down [i.e. require additional physics to enter] going to ever shorter length scales.

If you're asking why it goes in steps of 1/2 it's a group representation theory thing (guessing you probably already know about that).
