Many US cities have children leagues for soccer, baseball, hockey, basketball, and sometimes football, in addition to the sports offerings at middle and high schools, though not affiliated with the professional leagues as far as I know. In a Pennsylvania city I worked for the recreation department which maintained soccer and baseball fields for children's leagues. The city near me now in Mississippi has soccer, baseball, and softball leagues for children. When I was in Texas, and also in Maryland, children would play ice hockey in leagues. I think it's harder for football because high schools already dominate the children league landscape, and also act as feeders for college football, but there are still some unaffiliated leagues for children around.

Implementing the weapon. Paying for that implementation.

Concrete example: I buy an NFT for a sword in World of Warcraft. I want to take it with me to FFXIV. Now FFXIV has to implement the sword. Its looks, its behaviors, its power, in a completely separate engine and world.

They - Square Enix - also probably have to pay Blizzard for the trademark and copyrights to the sword. Yet when I buy the sword that money goes to Blizzard, not Square. So... why would Square do it?

Plus, implementing a "yes, person with email address N owns sword X" rest API is pretty straightforward. You could even implement public/private key signatures for authentication of the receipt. It just would be stored in someone's email inbox instead of the chain.

I am in process of switching from emacs to neovim atm (doom evil user before). Whatever I do in emacs (emacs28, jit-compilation, M1) I still experience some UI lags l cannot get with profiler. I suspect slow lsp interface and suboptimal caching/gc. At some point I've tried neovim and was just surprised by how fast it feels.
That assumes you have time to stop at home depot and the foresight to plan what your building. I imagine many crews grab whatever they can find when they stop for the night or while refueling. And being away from your tank, in enemy territory (at night?) is usually minimised.
I agree, that's closer to what an intern would make in NYC rather than a director. I'd consider changing industries, maybe engineers are not as valued in marketing agencies as they would on other more tech-heavy industries.
People are replaceable cogs, and since people are replaceable cogs, one person can not create as much value as 3 other reasonably competent ones.

Since that is common knowledge shared by all the administrative personal, it's impossible to justify somebody paying 1.5x your salary range. Even if you personally realize some specific person doesn't look replaceable (who am I kidding? You don't. You don't stay in management on places like those and keep that ability, you either move or change), you can't communicate that fact.
Perhaps it is as simple as a way to keep heads out with out being pelted with rocks by angry civies or a way to attach sun/rain cover. I imagine that it gets hot and stinky inside on long trips.

> The planet is not exactly flush with such folk at present, and much of Arm's appeal to investors lies in its deep technical expertise. It is therefore likely that most of the redundancies will be staff not directly involved in Arm's core activities.

This "cost-cutting exercise" (lovely euphemism) may not directly target technical people, but for some of them it may be a wake-up call nevertheless: "if they start lay-offs now, who says this will be the last round? And who says that I won't be next?". So they start looking around for alternatives, which I hear are plentiful at the moment, and hey presto, you got rid of the people you didn't actually want to get rid of...
Welcome to the HN bubble. Over the few years I've been here the talk about salaries have been getting more and more ridiculous. It started off as "three figures" then rapidly turned into 300-400k and now 110k is very low and considered poverty.

There's something about money that causes even intelligent people to lose all sense and perspective.
Decision logs are incredibly valuable for documenting __why__ a particular decision was made. This can be in Jira, wiki, or whatever your team uses.

When new people join and ask, "Why are we using X and not Y?" then you should have a place where you can refer them to that has a short list of those reasons, what was considered, and why a particular solution was used.

The premises upon which a decision was made will change over time, and when they do then that decision can/should be revisited.

It's already been mentioned in a few comments, but I imagine a big part of this purchase was influenced by the SEO power of the domain. CSS-Trick is a crazy powerful domain [1]

Google loves old domains with authority, and still, to this day, it's a lot easier to rank a site built on an aged/expired domain than it is on a fresh domain.

Buying powerful domains on auction sites has shot through the roof in the last couple of years. Here's a couple of example on Godaddy (Godaddy auctions tend to have the most powerful domains SEO-wise)
https://www.godaddy.com/domain-auctions/gutenberg-net-414405...

I imagine they will eventually 301 the domain to the main DigitalOcean domain.

Take hallucinogens in a nice calm atmosphere and you'll generally have a nice, calm experience and maybe even gain a new perspective.

Take them under stress (eg, a war) and you are almost certain to have a terrible trip with disastrous psychological effects.

Not a great plan.
Increase your monthly income or lower your monthly spending. Easiest is to find a new job. If you have 14 YOE as developer you should be able to find a higher paying job as long as you've continually grown your skills.

The fastest way is to make more money. You'll probably need to switch jobs. Barring that, you need to look at your expenses. Do you have credit card debt? Start paying that off as fast as you can. Then start paying off the lower interest rates.

The fastest way to start saving money is to learn how to cook and don't eat out or buy prepared food as much. You can make fresh food that is cheaper if you know how to buy raw ingredients and make your own. If you drink alcohol, cut down on how much, or find a cheaper (not necessarily worse) option to what you drink.

psilocybin takes a large dose to effect a person to the point of hallucinations so that is not likely to work.

Hallucinogen and other narcotic gases were tested extensively in the 1940s-1960s. They were found to be extremely unpredictable as to the areas they affected, which varied with wind, and dosages delivered to combatants. Their ability to neutralize combatants is limited compared to a lethal tactic, such as the chemical gases employed in Syria by Russia and allies. [1]

Russia has employed narcotic gases to deal with terrorist situations before, with significant casualties. [2]

Would it surprise then that a massive, massive chunk of Americans have never had formal employment and have worked under the table their entire lives? It's far more common than we like to think in our cushy tech bubble. These places aren't running background checks or taking SSNs, these are gigs where you unload trucks or chop vegetables for 8h and get paid at the end of your shift.

Workers who are undocumented actually make up almost 5% of America's workforce - cash pay workers are probably an even higher percent.

It's an almost comically bourgeoisie myth that one needs an SSN and job history to get paid in America. Go to any Home Depot outside the city around 6am and ask any of the hard-working, skilled, day labourers making $100/day to support a family of five if they think the government of Seattle should be happily giving out free apartments to life-long criminals.

This is the exact technique I used to save up and pay for a wedding and a house. Consider your savings/investments as one of your monthly bills. Set a maximum balance for your checking account, everything in excess of that goes into investments or retirement fund.

I do think the language offers some genuine advantages and strikes a difficult balance between features, practicality and speed.

I think it has some problems as well (the learning curve is still steep, and I don't know if that's solvable).

However I think the reason Rust gets attention here is because it is heavily used in crypto, which is regularly pumped in HN as well as in other places.

But we aren't comparing presidential inaugurations with the superbowl, we're comparing stadium visitors with the draw of netflix, social media, games, etc.

Sure, the final event of a season always has a large number of viewers (1 in 3, according to your stats), just like any other special event, but

a) We aren't looking at only the outliers (I would guess an average soapie episode has more viewers than an average match)

b) A single sporting event that has $FOO million viewers does not mean that $FOO million people are following the sport. My experience is that there are large media campaigns to get people to tune in for the large events. They tune out again once the event is over.

I see many commenters are implying I'm the scammer, I'm not so good with computers, I wouldn't know how to scam someone online I asked Google if I could verify myself with my ID, driver's licence, passport, security questions... Anything! But they simply said there is nothing they can do.
Today I managed to get all my photos, I've contacted relevant companies and got my travel documents, I even managed to salvage my bank account - they were way more helpful and I was easily able to change my details and log in within 2 emails to them.
I deleted everything on my Google account, however I can see the hacker backed up all 100 GB of data I had on there, so he has that anyway. I then factory reset my computer.

I can't believe Google can do nothing.

The hacker is trying to blackmail me again today, he said he's going to out my pictures up online. Despite his efforts, he wasn't able to post as me this time, but he posted as himself on Facebook.
He did however link another Facebook account to mine, I deleted it quickly and deactivated the account, however he is still blackmailing my boyfriend with these pictures in messenger

On top of this, I got a positive covid test today so I can't fly home anyway, this is the worst trip ever! Urgh!
I’m sure you might know python. If not it’s pretty easy to learn. I think python for finances is an excellent book and you could build your inflows and outflows very easily. You could also project the future savings/expenses and their effects on your bank balances.

The hardest part I've found with budgeting if you have a significant other is getting both parties on board. Then even if you get them on board you need to be together on the amounts and the methods. The budgeting part is easy once you get passed that. I've tried things like YNAB in the past, but without the other person on board and/or using it, it just became useless.

The US does a lot of manufacturing, don't be fooled by the hype.

Though I agree it would set back progress in the US to stop trade with China. There are a lot of things we get from China that will be hard to replace in the near term. However China is buying food from the US, so they have more to lose. (This depends on how Brazil reacts - if Brazil also cuts of China there isn't anyplace to get enough food)

Everyone has a tendency to engage in confirmation bias. Many of us (myself included) really want to see the Ukrainians win, so it's tempting to pick and interpret news in a way that makes the Ukrainians look smart and effective and the Russians look dumb. If you want to try and be somewhat objective, you have to be critical and fight against your own confirmation bias. It's something a lot of people are incapable or unwilling to do.

That being said, people (and organizations) make bad decisions all the time. It's possible that those cages are not a net win, but they're probably not the worst idea ever either. If they're a bad idea, ideally the troops on the ground tell you that and the cages stop being installed. Where that might fail though is that Russia has a much more authoritarian culture... Will your supervisors listen if you tell them something isn't working out?
Hahah, true true. We did expand exponentially pretty quickly there with that plan, heh :) Still it was a nice idea / ideal. sigh maybe there's some way one day...

OP isn’t going to fix his financial picture by skipping lattes and getting a cheaper apartment. Even if he went into hardcore miser mode he might save about $20-30k per year. Compare that with seeking market rate comp he could pretty easily double or triple his income, and be putting away $100k+/yr (and maybe a lot more than that) of additional savings with no change to his lifestyle. Seems pretty obvious where the focus should be.

The fact poor people exist doesn’t change the fact OP is likely being taken advantage of by the current employer.

Is that likely? People who don't trust things backed by the US gov't are unlikely to be fond of SELinux, but even beyond that, AppArmor is used in preference to SELinux by the Debian and SUSE families, which probably gives it a greater share of the Desktop Linux market (vs SELinux, mostly used by the Red Hat family) even without ideological/trust issues in play.

I hear you, frugality is an important aspect. But putting money in the bank doesn’t really seem like the best idea, especially now that inflation is running wild. I don’t know what the answer to that really is though. Investing is an idea but also a risky business too if you don’t know what you’re doing.
Stlll keeps foreign keys and the key management can be a nightmare. Basically, you're talking per customer encryption keys... Even then, you still might get something if you have enough other data to cross-ref/compare against/you're just looking for something to confirm/parallel construct from.
Don't feel too bad. I've been wrong plenty of times before, but my prediction is that the Rust hype will fizzle out outside of Hacker News. There's just a lot of use cases that simply don't need its guarantees, and I think developers sticking square pegs into round holes will cause some dissatisfaction in the future.

Only one way: You must save a substantial portion of your income (e.g. $2000/mo) FIRST. Then treat everything after that as optional, and work with your family to prioritize those things that are important (mortgage would be at the top of my list).

This will be hard, and it will force you to question assumptions about what you really "need." Also, try to keep in mind that there are other families with 3 children living near you that only have $90k in income, and they manage well enough.

Edit: And as others have mentioned, keep looking for a higher paying job. This will help tremendously, as long as you learn to save first, then spend, rather than the other way around.
