Most of this depends on your project's requirements.

PaaS is much simpler for you as a developer, assuming your desired stack is supported. Caveat is it will likely cost your client more. Although, it may not if you account for billable hours saved by not having to deal with IaaS. Depends on the project's scale and resource usage. With a small scale project, PaaS may be a wash or even cost less.

Obviously it's good to expand your horizons learning new technologies. Doing so while under deadlines on someone else's dime, perhaps not as much. It's at least something to consider if there's very lax deadlines. How to bill it ethically is up to you and likely depends on a ton of factors.

Using modern frameworks in languages you already know does seem to be a good compromise. Your learning curve there should be drastically lower than learning an entirely new stack from scratch. This is probably the safest route, and if you choose it I'd suggest learning new stacks on your own time regardless.

Every single day of this work week so far there has been at least one and as many as 5 accidents on the same 5 mile stretch of I95 headed in to Waltham, MA.

Every morning and at least two of the evenings. And the weather has been reasonable. I typically see 4 to 5 Teslas a day during my commute... driving sedately, and they aren't they ones involved in the accident.

Maybe we'll break the streak tomorrow and have no accidents.

Shouldn't this be the case for most people? Increase leverage not output, or more ideally increase them both at the same time.

Without more leverage you may not be able to extract the extra value you create with more output, but without more output you can likely extract more value with more leverage. Though if you're concerned with fairness, increasing both is the way to go.

I would highly recommend jhipster. We used that build our highly scalable website aihello.com

It builds the core of project using spring boot and also generates docker and kubernetes files.

It even integrates Kafka which allows us to plug-in machine learning framework via Apache spark

Overall very happy with the framework
Separate from finding someone who is willing to make a purchase, getting the technical bits in place in order to properly accept a purchase can be challenging, too. It's not just about being able to charge a credit card.

In our case we're an infrastructure service that charges customers based on their usage level. This required collecting the right metrics, consolidating them durably, making the metrics visual somewhere so customers understand how they are being charged, implementing notions of billing cycles, syncing with the payment provider (in our case Stripe), UI elements to indicate if the account is paid or not, ability to cancel paid service, etc.

All in all it took us a good two months from when we wanted to charge people to when we could actually charge people. Of course every service will have different technical needs. Congrats on the first buck. :)

This is the biggest problem with Go errors and one of my biggest gripes with the language. Exceptions have stacktraces that give you context about where the error originated. Go errors don't have this and it costs me a lot of time debugging things.https://godoc.org/github.com/pkg/errors helps, but it's still more of a pain than it should be.

Go with what you know can get the job done. It's fun to use new tech, but Java isn't going anywhere and it's very stable and performant at this point.

Your concerns should be the following:

1 - will this stack get the job done, and at a reasonable velocity

2 - will you lose time because you need to ramp up on a technology you're not familiar with

3 - how maintainable will this be for developers who come after you?

Spend time figuring out what you'll need to accomplish for this project, and then decide which framework will work best for it.

If you're still not sure what to go with, it can be really worthwhile to do a quick proof of concept that covers the areas you feel most uncertain about. I did this before choosing Elixir for a recent project, and it helped me feel a lot more confident in that choice.

Outside of your freelancing, I'd encourage you to spend time using new tools are frameworks. That way, you'll know the strengths and weaknesses of each before you need to pick one for a project.

"In 2009, NASA crashed a rocket and a satellite into a crater on the moon’s south pole, in the hopes of picking up additional watery evidence. "

NO, In 2008 ISRO crashed Moon Impact Probe (MIP) into lunar surface as part of Chandrayaan-I mission. MIP didn't have any specific role, other than political agenda. The NASA's Moon Minerology Mapper M3 onboard of the Chandrayaan spacecraft was instrumental in providing the first mineralogical map of the lunar surface.

Quoting S. Pete Worden, center director at NASA’s Ames Research Center :

“NASA missions like Lunar Prospector and the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite and instruments like M3 have gathered crucial data that fundamentally changed our understanding of whether water exists on the surface of the moon,”

National Geographic, having titled the article - 'Get the facts' and blatantly ignoring ISRO's contribution is not healthy.

The reason I brought this up is not to score nationalist brownie points, but a credit where it's due. In a country like India, where an organisation like ISRO instills scientific termparment over large population; ignoring it's contribution by global media focussed on science is an insult to entire scientific community.
Seems like they wouldn't need to involve everyone. Just make it semantically similar to ACH, but for some institutions clear through the new infrastructure. Even a few banks forming a coalition would be enough to make it worthwhile.

I learn programming languages today the way I learned my first one. I have (what is now an ancient) copy of the old DEC book, "101 BASIC Computer Games" and I port some of those games to the new language. Sometimes I add bells and whistles and it's not porting attempting to be true to the original; but they offer small enough problems to get at least the syntax under my fingers and some of the larger ones can start to give me a sense of how I'll need to think should I try something serious.

And the first language I learned was... well BASIC... but it was on the VIC-20 & later C-64; but that still required a translation as the PDP-11 BASIC was rather different that was was on the Commodore machines.
This is appalling. As an avid fly fisherman, these farms are disgusting. You can see how sick these fish are at the local costco. They put the farm raised salmon fillets right next to the wild salmon fillets. They are pale pink compared to the vibrant rich red of the wild.

These farmed salmon exist in this huge pen of netting, where they swim in their own filth and spread disease amongst each other and any wild salmon swimming through the filth that washes out from the netted pens. It hurts and damages the wild population as they spawn and swim through this sickness and get sick.

I wish they were banned personally, but if humans are not smart enough to not buy this sick farm raised salmon then we deserve to have salmon wiped from the earth.

It's such a shame.

That said, aviation accident rates have been falling asymptotically while this "troubling trend" has been going on. In the US we've had no fatalities on domestic commercial flights since like 2009, and only the two at SFO a couple of years ago on international flights to the US. This is on a couple of billion flights with hundreds of billions of passenger departures.
Thought I read they stopped that recently. I still wouldn't trust them though.
Excellent example. I'd forgotten about Lore.
I'm surprised they neglected a fifth theory- the moon impacted the Earth in an almost tangential, glancing blow.

Liquefied rock from the impact event spread over both planetoids, making the core of the moon completely different from its new skin, not unlike dipping chocolate in candy or vice versa.

The impact also allowed for the capture of the moon but at some large distance.

Just a theory, yet it explains a lot about Earth geology that the other theories leave unexplained.
Why? Emails are not private information.
> banks could roll their own private "exchange" currency to do near real time transfers to any other bank

If only US banks already had access to some sort of shared currency they could use for such transfers!

Snark aside, this just seems like a horrible use for a crypto currency. Block chains are an interesting tool to solve a lack of trust when you're willing to give up some speed and convenience. Banks have full trust in themselves, the central banks, and the clearing houses that make the financial system work; they just need to update their systems to be faster.

When your problem is that you have trust and need speed, a solution which sacrifices speed to work in situations where you don't have trust is probably not a good option.
