That's a little different in as much as there's negligible marginal cost to walking down the sidewalk, once it is constructed. The same is not true of a marginal hospital stay.
Definitely don't retire without considering it very carefully. Some people do well with (in your case, very, very) early retirement, but many don't at all. Just because it's possible to retire doesn't mean it's necessarily the sensible thing to do.

Interesting, thanks for the link! I'm strongly considering doing this for my next project and all the information I can get is helpful.
The Chinese case in those photos is subtly different: a bunch of competitors all spammed the same place, so there was massive oversupply. When a competitor failed, the stuff was worthless except as scrap because of the insane glut.

I was calling oracle and microsoft the alligator and crocodile for reference. The technology is good on both sides.

The steer and the intention is dubious however. I have also used Java extensively, back when it popped up on Solaris for ref. The difficulty is that the platform will always have priority development on the business interests of the hour and that overlaps with saleable things. Microsoft are only doing this "for free" because they are still objectively making a shit ton of money out of subscription services (Azure / O365) and they know the rest of the market is dead. So this is now a gateway to using those services effectively. It's a clever bit of planning and I respect them for that. But at the same time I've been burned so many times now with random direction changes and deprecations that I can't put my trust in it or logically risk building a new product on their platform.

You can't fork them realistically. That's not possible. Well you can but there will be no traction unless you take the entire community with you.
>There are lots of ways to spend 8M fairly quickly.

There's a lot of ways to spend 8 billion fairly quickly. That doesn't mean that either isn't an obscene amount of money to many people (it's 250x~ my gross income).

Sure, he could go buy a jet and a manse and be broke in a week, but I could legitimately burn through 8 billion dollars fairly sensibly in several months throwing it at serious projects. Hell, I could burn through 8 trillion in probably 3-5 years pursuing society-changing projects.

It may not be a lot of money to tech/bay area types but to the rest of the world it's more money than the vast majority will see in multiple lifetimes.
I would not call it WYSIWYG. Send it to a friend with a slightly different version of Office or Windows, or without the same fonts installed, or with a different locale, or a different printer, and it stops being WYSIWYG.
Maybe best not to be holding cash during brexit..
Yeah, my wife and I fled the maternity/recovery ward ASAP after both of our children, because it was so hard to rest and so unpleasant there.

The first time, my wife had preeclampsia during the labor and, fair enough, there were some significant interventions to make sure that her recovery was going apace. But the second time? She had a textbook uncomplicated delivery and fundamentally all we were doing was waiting to make sure that nothing crazy cropped up in the first 48 hours after birth. There was no reason for disruptions in our rest every hour or two.
Try something new. Scuba diving. Sailing. Perhaps you will be passionate about it and want to travel the world to do it. This is your chance.
Actually what I predict is the return to shareware/public domain models, where the free software is only the tip of the iceberg of the stack one actually needs for production code.

The trend is already visible with SaaS, Cloud, IoT,...

Qt is certainly certified for medical use, https://www.qt.io/qt-in-medical/.

I have hardly seen any big Android Auto adoption.

The biggest foe of Qt in Automotive is Web stack.
I remember watching a sketch about a genie that was supposed to grant wishes, but instead gave reasons not to do it. The guy asked for one million in cash, and the genie told him that if he was capable of handling that amount of money, he would already have them on his own, so fulfilling his wish would be a total waste.

People already said it many times. Don't go in "rich mode". Take your time to figure things out, not changing your life too much. If you look at all rich people on the world, most of them work even harder than common folks to keep their wealth. Make sure your kids will learn to appreciate life and won't go poor without your support.

Congrats anyway!
Turkish MPs drafted a law to grant Erdoğan unlimited powers
Well... Few time ago I discover my "definitive" productivity app: Emacs. In few months it became the center of my IT life. And I still have to see ANY more effective, simple, flexible, pleasure to use modern application that can only compete with at least some aspects of Emacs.

The problem IMO is that in the glory time of IT software was not a business, was a free thing that came with hw and if it was good and flexible people are more willing to buy your iron. Now (not from now) that software became a product commercial need destroy freedom and evolution creating a modern, colorful, limited and limiting digital middle-age that can barely stand like Babel's tower...

IMO sooner or later tower will collapse and the more we wait the more it will hurt.

More about software: our society mostly live on text: laws are text, newspapers are text, books are mostly text, text is the cheapest and effective means of communication we have so if we really want to being productive we need to have something focused on text. Yes, we have also images, videos, audios, but they are still marginal. We have excellent audiobooks, super-nice videos and diagrams/images that communicate something an order of magnitude better than text but they are still hard to make, hard to design, rare, not really flexible etc. so while we have to work on them hard and constantly to better support/integrate our focus must still be on text. For many years to come.

Try only to do most common task without a keyboard and see how unproductive, limited and hard they are even with the best touch UI we have, with all "AI" support possible.

That's a lesson nearly nobody want to learn but that's also the reality we have to face, willing or not.
Every time I read richg’s blog post like this one (there’s at least a few more), I’m glad that I mostly do tech outside the tech industry (in boring enterprise - telco, banking etc.). Things there seem so sane in comparison.
I disagree. High density cities are more energy efficient and ecological than sprawling ones. The solution to this is public transport, not density restrictions. No one living in a city should have to own a car in the first place.

"Hive Helsinki is a new kind of coding school that preps you to launch your future-proof career through collaborative, project-based learning."

Stop trying to make JAMStack happen /Mean Girls
If you want to take a fatalistic view of it... go a certain step further.

multiply it by LOTS of images you are going to get LOTS of images being misclassified and lots of complaints/mockery.

Also context, Tumblr users are being censored in ways they weren't previously and the censor is an error prone machine. This isn't the same thing as implementing nsfw filters to Google search.
Interesting, I've never heard term JAMStack before. I knew this was a common concept to have pre-built templates with JS client and API backend, but now I know it has a name!

Hate is a strong word but I found myself hating my hospital stay because I felt trapped, I was unable to do anything for five days but be in my room, watching shark week over and over again. All that time just for tests. Tests take up time and money and at one point I scared my family badly with a few results. I think it's a combination of worry, stress, being awoken up every few hours and just being unable to do normal things- like taking a dump without the need for other people to know!

This is exactly what keeps happening to my emacs. I have tried emacs in 3 or 4 periods for work and home use. Every time, I add useful things to my config until something breaks, I try fix it and maybe fail or partially fix it.

I eventually give up. Latesty try was with spacemacs, which I quite liked. It gots so broken it refused to start up and I never even really bothered fixing it. I tried VS Code and that is where I am at.

Now my VS Code is getting slow, and Iv'e already had some problems extensions!

Mh, I have sometimes to work with "tabular datas" that seems to fit well with spreadsheets... Before I discover org-mode and Emacs I normally use *sv sources/exports and CLI tools simply because I never being able to be productive or in comfort with ANY spreadsheet I tried. Now I'm in org with tables and babel I never look back.

IMO spreadsheets are a poor and ineffective answer to the miss of a serious desktop database tool with a nice DSL for end users.

First baby born from harvested uterus
Metaprogramming generally involves complicated code like that. The choice is really simple: either the language allows it, and then some features can be implemented as a library (and we see the immediate benefit of that in this case, where the library can be rewritten to optimize it for some specific use-case), or else the language doesn't, and then those features have to be implemented as language constructs, or are omitted entirely.
Why the hell a spreadsheet? Why not use any scripting language you want with org-table/org-babel or with some ORM/driver to access datas?

Black Panther was one of the highest grossing movies of the year, so I think it is kinda significant that it got made at all, and that it was as successful as it was.

Also, although its ostensibly a 'super hero' movie, there isn't actually any super hero stuff in it (e.g. innocent people being saved from falling lifts, burning buildings etc). Its a sci-fi story about who rules a super-advanced african nation, and what their foreign policy should be.

TOP 5 Serial over LAN Software solutions
Serial ports are still in use today, though they are not high on the priority list of modern computer manufacturers. Industrial electronic devices used for automation rely more heavily on serial interfaces than they do on the USB protocol. If you are searching for a solution for using a device that requires a COM port on your computer that only has USB interfaces, we have some answers for you. These solutions also enable serial over LAN connectivity to access devices that are remotely located.

I'd love a 3rd party Messenger client.
I absolutely despise their app. It isn't even an IM client anymore - there are tons of irrelevant features that make it hard to use, e.g. the Games tab, the tab with bots and the Days.

Before you try to prove me wrong - are you sure you didn't just get used to it? Because I don't like to get used to stuff I don't like.
It is money-splaining. Unfortunately it is not done enough.
> intensive care unit (ICU)

There are only two reasons for someone to be in an ICU: they require a therapy no other floor will administer, or their condition/therapy requires very frequent administration/titration/observation. These two reasons frequently overlap.

Sleep isn’t optional in general. It’s optional in the ICU, because the premise is “if you don’t need this level of attention to survive, you absolutely shouldn’t be on this unit.”
Unsurprisingly lots of people have been in similar situations, so there is a Wiki article on one of the Internet's best personal finance and investing websites: "Managing a windfall"
https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Managing_a_windfall

"Do nothing rash. Set aside one year's living expenses[note 2] and place the rest of the windfall into low risk investments (FDIC insured accounts, money market funds, treasury bills) for one year. As it may take as long as five years for the windfall recipient to adjust to a new life, this pause provides a chance for emotions to cool, helps avoid impulsive behavior, and, if warranted, allows the recipient time to put together a team of professional advisers."
Could you elaborate a little on why D libraries cannot use const?
Don't listen to me. If you still reading I can only say what I would do. I am roughly same age and positon as you without the 8M. I work because I love IT but mostly because I have to provide for my family. This money gives you freedom. I would secure it in low risk investment and then do what I love. Right now I am enjoying experimenting with auaponics and hydroponics. I would love to have try my hand at being a farmer but I can't afford to quit my job. You don't mention your hobbies or what you like, that's where I would start.

Life is too short not to enjoy the few successes you will get. Put away a million or two and then enjoy.

Live a little, people die a lot.

Everyone here wants to make it sound as if 'it is not enough'. Screw that. 8M puts you in an elite group, even here on HN. So most of these people here are giving you advice with zero experience of your situation. As long as you have a safety net or even a fallback to your normal/previous life, enjoy it the best way you can.

After all, despite what we may all claim, a good part of why we do what we do is for the money.

If you are unsure then sit on it for a few years. That is barely enough money to retire comfortably the rest of your life. If you truly feel giving it away makes the world a better place then why not. Chances are though you using it to better your life and find your niche would further enrich those you came into contact with. Do not feel guilty about having money that you actually earned. It is not like you got rich off the violence of regulation.

You did well so far for publishing this anonymous, so kudos.
All the most successful authors in the world all seem to use publishers.

All you need to do is replace publisher with online ad companies, like google, who will reap all the reward. Say there was no publisher you, me, everyone publishes Harry Potter books on our website. People will use google to find them and google AdWords on own websites to try to monetize someone else’s property, but Only the ad company wins.

If you're UK-based I'd withdraw it all and hide it in a safe... FCS only protects up to about £70k

OP almost certainly isn't in the UK, but even if so, you spread it around numerous banks and different asset categories (stocks, gold, bonds) rather than risk it all in a safe. Even just dumping £1m into an NS&I Income Bond would keep it pretty safe.

I'd personally diversify as much as possible and buy into a variety of funds covering most major geographic areas (e.g. a fund that tracks the Dow, one for the Asian markets, and so on.)
Also, once you open the tap, you can't close it. Spending lots of money is like a drug - instant gratification.
Actually, the point that I took from you and from DelaneyM was this:

"Men just don't get it. Practically any woman would think that $350 is totally reasonable for the perfect bra, and if you disagree it's because you're a man and you just won't listen to us!"

And my point was that, while I am a man, I do know some women, and your [1] assertion that all women would be happy to pay $350 for a bra is ridiculous. So ridiculous, in fact, that it strikes me as a lot more out-of-touch with womens' views on a reasonable price for a bra than my views as a man on the subject. And to back this up, I asked a real-life-flesh-and-blood-woman, who literally responded with: "Oh fuck no! That's ridiculous!" Others in this thread reported similar things.

1. I recognize that you didn't make this specific claim, but your response to DelaneyM indicated that you agree that the men expressing skepticism is just further proof that they won't listen to you. But you seem to automatically assume that we aren't listening to other women. Perhaps a little humility is in order about how representative your views are to your entire gender.
> In D, . is used for both.

Yes, this is a great feature. Rust also does this, and I attribute substantial portion of ease of refactoring Rust to this feature.
Well... Because is a complex, utter, inflexible software.

For instance: I need to write a letter, on my desktop I start skeletor (Emacs built-in template solution) with a single keypress, choose the wright template, start writing in pure text, hit C-c C-e and choose the appropriate export format, for instance pdf via LaTeX. In a fraction of time I made a document far superior of any word-processor can ever made, without wasting time in formatting. Same if I have to create slides. Same if I have to mix tabular data, literate stuff like write down a formula or a software procedure and verify it live from the code inside the document etc.

The level of ease, flexibility, simplicity, reusability, integration you can have on text-centric systems you can't even imaging to reach with modern/classic GUIs.

Another example from my personal workflow: sometime I have to put notes in agenda, like TODO: fix xyz etc. I can simply add relevant SCHEDULED or DEADLINE or whatever in the file I'm working on and see it properly in agenda. I can have documents spread on multiple files for many reason but being presented and exported as a single one or vice versa. I can link emails anywhere, export them inside the document etc.

No other IDE, PIM suite, office suite can do the same.
Which brings to mind the "Persianisation" of everyone who conquered Persia. Not too sure how Alexander fits into this but bear with me).

Maybe it wouldn't be far fetched to argue that Eurasia had only 3 distinct persistent cultures: Romano-Greek, Persian/Islamic/Turkic, and Han. I know this is a gross simplification but it's not a bad framework to begin with.
