It may contain all information, but a clear F on UX.

What I find annoying is the number of command line programs that don't even have man pages anymore. Or maybe that's just an artifact of installing them with brew?

What I find interesting is that for the most part (there are exceptions), the older the man page, the more useful it is. Realistic examples. Succinct descriptions. User-friendly terminology. Too many of the newer man pages seem inflated and full of jargon to make themselves seem important or worthy.

Is that... is that not exactly what you just did? $5k capital expense and $1500/yr operational expense.

That system is almost certainly more than enough for your own household needs, so you could probably sell the excess capacity to your neighbors at near cost to cover some of the operational expenses.
Not the OP, but I've had some good luck with teaching it to teenagers at the library.

By the time someone is a teenager, they likely have some experience doing algebra, which (I think) makes the idea of a "function" a lot easier to comprehend; variable substitutions and whatnot are kind of confusing to someone who isn't even used to seeing letters in math.

In the same boat as the OP, kinda, but for me, I feel like the interesting problems at interesting scales are not being done in Node:

- I do 100% Node.js backend work and am a technical lead.

- I did a lot of Java in college, and tiny bits of Java over the past 10 years (servlets on websphere)

- I've gone through phases of doing Go in my free time, and really like it, but jobs seem scarce

- Before JS I spent ~2 year doing Python/Django professionally. I used to do all my whiteboard questions in Python but now use JS. (I've been paid to write Perl, C, & C# in addition to the languages mentioned above.)

I've looked at Elixir, Rust, & Go but none of those languages seem to have critical mass. Do I really need to learn enterprise Java to go up market in terms of money and scale?

>> The underlying failed assumption in our representative democracy was that representatives would represent their constituents' interests ...

For that to have a chance at working we need to get the outside influence out of government.

I propose that each state ban political ads funded by anyone outside the state - including the national parties. If you dont live there, your input is not wanted.

Another problem is that we ship our representatives off to Washington, away from us and surrounded by outside influencers. Not sure what to do about that, but it's a recipe for not representing the people who they ostensibly should.
Neat reminds me of Game Oriented Assembly Lisp, the language used for a bunch of the Naughty Dog games. It included inline assemblers for the various processors in the PS2, and was used in a very procedural, macro heavy style that this seems to be encouraging.

On the other hand it could also be done on purpose in both cases you mention. Deliberately showing incompetence of your digital capabilities is a very efficient way of counter intelligence. The Skripal case was and is a very effective way for the Kremlin to spread fear. Vladimir Putin was most important person of the year for 5 years at Fortune while controlling a GDP of Italy. Vladimir Putin is maximizing the resources he has in a very good way irrespectively what one thinks about his actions and consequences specifically. As long as most people think incompetence every investment he makes will have a significant better outcome.
In what OS and with what projects are you trying it? I'm using Lazarus since 2006 or so and the last time i remember it being unstable was back in 2008-2009. It has been a very long time since i even saw the IDE crashing, let alone getting a feeling that it is unstable.

>I think we should consider developer Morale when it comes to legacy systems - it’s hard to hire and a lot of people want to leave if they’re stuck with them.

Basically. Some systems/languages just don't have many people on the market with expertise in those things, and you may not be able to hire someone who does, and get them to relocate to where you are. If you try to stick someone else with that job, they're not going to want that on their resume, so they'll just look for a new job that does fit their career goals. For instance, personally, I have no desire to work on VB.NET code at all, so if my company suddenly decided to make me a full-time VB.NET developer (including training etc.), and wouldn't take no for an answer, I'd immediately look for a new job. Having VB.NET on my resume isn't much better than having a job gap.

> Does having the LLC increase your tax complexity?

Based on the verbiage of your question, I would simply say this isn't something you would try to structure without tax counsel/IRA counsel. Note, what I am referencing is known as a self-directed IRA LLC (sometimes called a special purpose LLC).

If structured properly the IRA LLC should not need to file a federal tax return (it should be a single member LLC, so it is considered a disregarded for tax purposes, with the IRA being the sole member). That said if you dip into a tax free retirement account, you will likely trigger significant taxes, so again this is where the tax counsel/IRA counsel would guide you to avoid those potential liabilities. There are some other potential issues with IRA LLCs concerning disqualified persons and prohibited transactions, to avoid triggering taxes (all pretty simple and navigable once you are informed and aware of the issues)

This truth came to light and the world did not end. I appreciate your point, but I do not think the motivation behind suppressing this report was the benevolent desire to "protect the population from unreasonable panic or overreaction".
In 1972 there were two things humans were doing that if they continued growing at the pace they were could seriously affect climate:

1. emitting CO2 and other greenhouse gases, which would cause warming, and

2. emitting air pollution in the form of particulates, which would cause cooling.

Most climate scientists though that #1 would be the stronger effect, although a few thought #2 would win out. The latter got more attention in the popular press and from politicians, probably because an ice age is a more dramatic image than a world a few degrees hotter.

There was a pretty big effort to address #2, for a variety of reasons. Probably the biggest is that this kind of pollution has an immediate effect. You can see it and smell it and taste it and feel it. These efforts paid off, and we greatly reduced this kind of emission.

Some knockoff builders do keep older sets alive. I bought a knockoff of the original UCS Falcon. It was fun to build, and it wasn’t USD 2,000 on eBay.

I have also bought sets related to the Alien(s) and Blade Runner movies, sets that simply weren’t available in a licensed fashion at all. I obviously have zero problem with that.

Just about the only thing that gives me pause is that I prefer when they knock off the subject but resell genuine bricks. That way, if I tire of the model, the pieces go into the family lego bins.

I’m not ready to “cross the streams” and mix Lego blocks with knockoff blocks.
> Sheesh, cheapest Delphi license is 1699 eur... back before Borland (sorry, Inprise) got sold i think it started at 300...

The cheapest version actually started at $99 and that was up to Delphi 5 IIRC. Later versions bumped the price to $199 (and i think there was a $99 for non-commercial use) and then quickly ascended to thousands.

I think it was after Delphi 5 that they also renamed themselves to Inprise.

> Else they'd recognize that the literature shows that digital advertising has no measurable (provable) impact.[0]

This is a gross mischaracterization of what the linked paper says.

"It's extremely difficult to measure the impact" (the claim that the cited paper puts forward) has quite a different meaning from "no measurable impact." The paper is entirely about the difficulty of measuring the impact, and studiously avoids, as far as I can tell, any inference about what the impact actually was in these experiments. For example, Table I gives the mean of the control group sales and a standard deviation, but no mean of the treatment group sales, which you would need to do a statistical test of whether there was an impact; similarly, Table II reports standard deviations of the sales effect and ROI, but not means; Table III presents power calculations based on hypothetical ROIs and the real measured standard deviations, but gives no clue to the real ROIs were. Nowhere does the paper support your claim that there is no measurable impact.

In addition, the situation is very different for small companies that most people have never heard of. The article is citing studies done with major corporations with millions of customers and that are already well established in the collective consciousness. Measuring the effect of an advertising campaign taking you from 3.23 million customers to 3.231 million customers is indeed very difficult, particularly when you might fluctuate by tens of thousands of customers on a weekly basis. Measuring the effect of an AdWords campaign taking you from 200 customers to 250 customers is much easier.

It depends on your interests, but for HN readers /r/networking is a pretty good place for enterprise networking discussion. /r/rust has some helpful people in it if you're working with the Rust programming language. /r/science has extremely strict moderation that makes it a good read-only subreddit unless you are an actual scientist who can back up their post.

Generally you want a subreddit with a small but active userbase. Not too small or it tends to die off, but also not too big or the S/N ratio drops off.

> ...compilation speed

It's faster because it does less, and it doesn't do it as well. You can always make LLVM faster by reducing the kinds and number of passes performed for debug builds, for instance, "cargo check".

Further, developers have much better machines than customers, and taking more time to release something smaller is almost always better.

> ...not depending on C++

I hate C++, but I could care less that LLVM was written in it. I don't refuse to use MySQL because it happens to be written in C++. The Go compiler could still be written in Go, and targeted at LLVM IR code, just as the Rust compiler is written in Rust.

> ...and we don't need a compiler monoculture

And we don't have one either way. There's GCC and LLVM. A boutique one-off compiler is in no danger of toppling the GCC/LLVM status quo.

I never really felt that way about Go error messages, but I also came from Python, Java, C, C++ (via GCC and Clang) where the error messages are far, far worse. Maybe there are languages/toolchains where the error messages are better?
I don't disagree, but in a bit of fairness, a lot of people just use GA for page-counts and basic correlation stuff...you could do that in a relatively small amount of frontend JS stuff and a slightly-more-complex backend API to handle the basic correlation stuff.

That said, that will only do about .01% of all the features of GA; like the infamous "FTP vs. Dropbox" the premise itself isn't exactly "wrong", just missing a bigger point.
I was referring to this quote from the parent comment (and the article): "In 2018 a draft report from an office of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said the risk level for exposure to the chemicals should be up to 10 times lower than the 70 PPT threshold the EPA recommends. The White House and the EPA had tried to stop the report from being published."
