This is my first foray into business of any kind and I’m really looking for the liability protection offered by being a registered business entity.

Since I don’t have any revenue yet should I then dip into my amount set aside for this business to pay for those? You said if I can’t afford that the business isn’t viable, so just trying to understand. Thank you!

Every team should be a mix of old hands and junior devs. I've learned so, so much from the old hands. As the auld faht today, I have the privilege of working with the young guns. They don't agree with me initially, but as they get experience they tend to change their minds. And sometimes even I learn from them, too.

P.S. There's no crying in software! C'mon, people! I'm old enough to have many people close to me die. I cry about them. Not about software. I might get mad, I might get frustrated, I might get discouraged, I might have to go out for a run to calm down, but for crying out loud, no crying!

One thing I've noticed in a number of different contexts is that women seem to disproportionately feel shame and guilt in circumstances where the majority of men would just cynically punch the clock and collect cash until it's time for the next thing. It wouldn't surprise me if childhood conditioning (where girls are meant to 'make nice' with people) and different standards for male/female behavior ("he's independent" / "she's a ruthless bitch") contribute to this too.

But I've encountered so many men who recognize bullshit jobs for what they are and openly just coast and get while the getting's good, while a larger portion of women seem to behave earnestly.

It's also more of a thing with juniors, too. When you've been around for a while, you realize that no-one gives a shit about a 2 month gap on your resume.

You can build almost any kind of database on top of any decent database kernel -- they are similarly expressive. The "kind" of database is just a skin over the kernel. However, different kernel designs make different performance tradeoffs in several dimensions. A graph database is much more join-intensive than a relational database, for example, so it may make sense to reduce select performance to increase join performance.

Graph database technology was essentially stagnant for decades, and the design of Neo4j is from that era. The basic technology is the same across all graph databases, just incrementally modernized and micro-optimized, hence why they all have the same scalability and performance problems. The market gap is that most interesting graph data models have at least 10^12 edges and graph databases stop working well long before you get to that scale.

There was a major breakthrough on this topic around 2008 at a corporate research lab, a new way of representing graph data models that was highly scalable. By coincidence, I was working in graph database R&D at the same time elsewhere and had some exposure to the research, made several material improvements to the new approach, and even built working prototype database based on it that addressed a lot of classic scalability and performance issues. I stopped working in graph databases shortly thereafter but to this day have not seen a single implementation in the wild based on that research. It isn't the kind of thing you can build on top of an existing database kernel, the internals were necessarily pretty exotic, which is part of the problem.

tl;dr: Graph databases have been stuck in the same local architectural minima for half a century, receiving a fresh coat of paint every decade or so but not addressing any of the reasons almost no one can use them.

Lisp doesn’t really have many, if at all, super weird concepts that need months of thinking about in order to understand.

Training seems like some lost art as we collectively move toward a more disposable programming ethos. Training a good programmer how to write Lisp is, what, two weeks of work? Learn how to make variables, write functions, define classes, and compile a project. That gets you 80% of the way there, and definitely gets you across the “productivity threshold”.

Somehow, in the same breath, we find it okay to spend weeks agreeing on how to ship Python code, what the standard development environment is, and how a 2->3 transition of 100,000 lines of code will be accomplished.

Direct incentives like this usually get gamed or don't work. I prefer the Georgist approach, working with, not against market forces. Make all land speculation fully unprofitable by taxation, and make all returns from labor and capital (i.e. wages, interest, and non-rent profit) free from taxation or rent. Use the difference to fund a citizen's dividend.

Absolutely, all direct subsidies must go, but let's not replace them with other subsidies. A Georgist system would replace all rentier subsidies with a labor and capital friendly free market.

America vs Nordics is almost the opposite ends. Americans will ask you fluffy questions if they don't know you -- not expecting an answer! -- while Northern Europeans will mostly engage strangers factually and to the point. And you don't go asking strangers about how their day has been, that's none of your business, and you wouldn't do that unless you were actually offering to help deal with their stresses or such.

I don't know precisely what they do--and I almost wish they wouldn't--but many journals still do some kind of layout work and copy-editing to cram it into the journal's house style.

It's often not very good: an overzealous typesetter replaced every single italic p (as in "p < 0.05") with a musical quarter-note. Still, some of that money must be going somewhere.

That said, I would actually love a journal that offered (good) copy/line editing of accepted papers so that the science is presented as clearly as possible. I suspect this would work out well for the authors and the journal. At the margin, easier to read => more cites. However, very few journals compete on "author-friendliness". It's all impact factor this and metrics that.

Without proper discovery mechanisms any P2P solutions will be DOA. This paper focuses on the technical aspects, which is very warranted, but the reason YouTube is winning isn't technical per se.

Any solution would:

1. Need to have unique content.

2. Have a mechanism to incentivize new content being created.

3. Make it easy to discover (1).

These problems can be addressed, but I believe it will inevitably result in centralization.

> Lisp doesn’t really have many, if at all, super weird concepts that need months of thinking about in order to understand.

I mean Haskell advocates will say the same about Haskell (monads are really not that bad: I'd be surprised if someone on a team of experienced Haskell programmers would take more than a week to come up to speed on them. It's more the rich interplay of monads and other concepts that either rewards deeper study or is a dangerous rabbit hole depending on your perspective). In both cases it's a matter of how deep the rabbit hole goes in the concepts that the languages do offer and how much a given code base uses those concepts to their fullest potential.

It's a double-edged sword. The same concepts that yield so many layers of power, expressiveness, and universality can yield frighteningly arcane codebases in the hands of advanced novices, those with "just enough knowledge to do harm." There's a reason the meme of Lisp programmers going through a phase where they want to "macro all the things" before calming down and using them more judiciously is a meme.

Likewise a boring language like Go that purposefully puts abstraction ceilings has a double-edged sword whose edges cut the other way.

An excellent team with good taste will be at home in whatever language they end up choosing, almost by definition. The opposite direction is a road much more fraught with danger.

As of C17, adding a volatile qualifier like that doesn't do anything useful. The standard currently only requires that accesses to volatile objects be handled specially, not accesses to nonvolatile objects through volatile-qualified pointers. A lot of people, including Linus Torvalds [1], are unhappy that this is how it works, and it looks like DR 476 may finally change it in C2x.

> Is it fscked for physicians and various healthcare professionals

It's an underappreciated point. The US healthcare system is one of the largest wealth transfer systems ever invented. It's a heavily protected cartel that plunders wealth from the top 2/3 and lines the pockets of a few million employees in the system.

There is an excess cost bounty of $1.2 trillion (or more) being plundered and redistributed every year to the healthcare cartel.

There are millions of people working artificially high paying jobs in the healthcare cartel in the US courtesy of the hyper inflated costs in the system. From nurses to doctors to pharma sales reps to scientists to management and everything inbetween.

Nobody ever talks about the need to slash the pay of nurses & doctors though, it's far too unpopular of a subject, it's downright taboo. Just a notch below slashing the pay of teachers. They'd all go on strike tomorrow morning if a serious attempt were made to bring their pay in-line with other developed nations.

The US has to remove a minimum of $1.2 trillion in cost from its healthcare system (which would produce an end cost structure still far above that of eg Britain). Only about 10-15% of that can come from slashing costs out of the pharma drug price side. The bulk of it has to come out of inflated salaries of millions of workers in healthcare across the board.

When politicians talk about universal healthcare in the US, they always, without exception, go far out of their way to dodge this epic scale problem of inflated salaries in healthcare and of where to find $1.2 trillion in costs to slash (they primarily focus on high drug prices as a matter of political convenience; that segment by itself won't remotely cut it though). This is why every time a state decides it's going to look at doing universal healthcare, it immediately runs away after the cost study is completed, it's impossible until you remove a dramatic amount of cost from the system. Now someone go tell all the nurses and doctors in California they get to make 25%-35% less money (good luck).
My guess is they want intermittent checks, but don't trust the system clock to advance, but a zombie kill is evidence that time has advanced for the player. Seems like it shouldn't block the main game thread and there should be a longer time to live for that check, and maybe those are the bugs.
