I don't have any kids, so I don't really feel comfortable telling folks how to raise theirs.

But I will tell you my perspective.

As someone who grew up in the "be back home in time for supper" 1970s, today's world seems completely foreign. When I started kindergarten, Mom walked me to school on the first day so that I'd know the route. And after that I walked to school on my own until I learned to ride a bike.

I rode to junior high, where there was parking for hundreds of bikes. Recently I drove by that school, and the bike racks were gone. This whole concept of waiting in traffic to pick up or drop off your kid wasn't even a thing.

And I'm so supremely grateful that I was raised that way. I'm absolutely certain that early autonomy paid off later in life in countless ways.

I'd encourage you, if you're raising kids, to consider the upsides of so-called "free range". Or, as we called it in the 70s, "being a regular kid".
I really doubt it. I’ve seen all kinds of men get jacked. Those with good self-discipline and those without.

Also - people read into things too much. Why can’t people just be superficial? Why do we have to think there’s some really really deep reason for why we find someone physically attractive? People aren’t as complicated all the time.
What Top SaaS Salespeople Make
Committing to eight hours a day is what Walmart and McDonalds expect of their employees. We’re talking about programmers, who should get measured and paid based on delivering value to the employer, whether that takes eight hours or four, and whether it happens during normal business hours or at 3 am. Interrupting creative and technical employees randomly during the day to check that they will answer only confirms they have their phone nearby, not that they are working, or working for you.

If your performance metric comes down to “Employee has blocked out eight hours per day exclusively to me” then you’re a terrible manager and employer.

I would almost play along with bullshit check-in calls like you describe if I could call my manager and the company executives randomly to check if they’re actually working too, and not golfing or buying NFTs with my withheld taxes.
I grew up in a small community, and while a few people were usually thought of as not to be trusted, they didn't turn out to be the dangerous ones. So I agree that there is a false sense of security in small communities. At the same time, I'm sure that overall, like shark attacks, we very much overestimate the danger.

Just tried the site, works fast and nicely but...

I searched for 'Birmingham' in the search box. The suggested list included Birmingham UK as well as Birmingham Al and all. Clicked to accept Birmingham UK and got a list of places in Birmingham AL USA.

I understand that the system is based on user reports. But perhaps a way of saying 'nothing for Birmingham UK, did you mean...' might help.

PS: a few below for Birmingham UK

Off peak afternoons good...window benches are nice. Batteries needed. Just up the road from a huge but largely empty co-working space in an old department store that charges huge fees. Wifi OKish

https://javaroastery.co.uk/

Java Roastery: again best at off-peak times, i.e. mid morning or mid-afternoon. Quite a few one / two people tables. Batteries needed.

Tanzania theme, used to have a lovely long bench against a wall with power sockets and fast wifi. The bench was a COVID victim but power might still be OK. I'm hoping the drop-donuts with cardamom and spices are still on.

> The most difficult thing I find about C is the (apparent) lack of libraries and packages

I really am not sure if this is a joke or not, but almost every major library has a C interface. Almost all packages in your distro if you use linux have development versions that ship libraries that usually are linkable by C. In fact the wealth of libraries usable from C is usually noted as its main strength.

What exactly are you missing, and have you tried googling? The GNU organization and similar all produce libraries(like https://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/) that are mostly usable from C.
The name is a reference to the filters operating on the text in smaller contexts rather than being entirely line based. I looked for a bunch of terms about division and filtering and this one seemed to fit best, while also being short and unique enough for people to be able to find and remember.

There's various types of biological uses of the term, such as in fruit, heart walls and cell division, but I definitely wasn't trying to be vulgar with the name.

That money doesn't disappear from the economy. It pays for materials and jobs and work that gets done. The only financial value that is "lost" to the planet is the materials value of the probe itself and the contents thereof, which once you reduce them to raw mineral value is a mere few thousand dollars at worst.

Space missions generate far more value than they cost, also. It takes brilliant minds solving unique problems as a group and once that is done, the information and knowledge generated do not simply sit in a vault somewhere but are then appropriated by other people for terranean uses, most famously like the microwave oven, but also all of the things this this list:

> If you're a youngster you're probably happy with occasional hardware replacement and messes of dongles, but for many of us our computing experiences are rooted in opening up the box and switching the guts around, or booting different software on the box, and we don't especially appreciate having to constantly battle the hardware vendor to make this happen.

I'm pushing 50 and 35 years ago I was building PCs (and selling them, too!). I love building PCs. Still do, it's fun. Tinkering is very enjoyable. I technically have more Linux machines than Macs (though admittedly that requires counting Rasberry Pis).

But. For my 'daily driver' computing, I'm pretty happy in the Apple ecosystem. They sell me 'just works' with a polished interface and I can focus my tinkering on the stuff I want to tinker with. And by infecting my extended family with this opinion, I've lowered my technical support load quite a lot.

It's the same reason that years ago I stopped modding my daily driver car, and moved that passion into a hobby instead.
Making use of existing tools and being able to manage their shortcomings is an important engineering skill.
Probably because it strikes a chord. I think a lot of folks on HN dig their own tunnels too: we have weird and lonely hobbies (e.g. growing algae, over-engineered homes network, etc.) others may find absurd.

It’s a good start though. If you’re willing to sleep with them then you’re more likely to marry them compared to you’re not willing to sleep with them crowd.

If you’re not physically attracted to a person - there’s a near zero chance you will sleep or marry them. So, it naturally follows that being more physically attractive is good for your chances.
Good: split your time between activities and reading something as satisfying as the things you “devour”. To that end, I would plus one Hackers (Levy) and Code (Petzold). Also, the Cathedral and the Bazaar by esr

For an activity ymmv depending on how much time you can spend; an alternative to building a computer from scratch, or an OS from scratch, is to buy a vintage cheapie running cp/m or dos, something where the OS isn’t abstracting memory management for you. Growing up in the 80s, I think managing my own memory and _everything_ that implies was the greatest teacher.
I'm no space expert but like to entertain the obstacles mentioned here (no pun intended =). I learned so much from your post already which is packed with useful information.

Okay, so let's say we can't overcome this delta V. This would be perspective from having a good relative speed to do a nice, graceful landing.

How about blowing (again no pun intended) right into it? Maybe some projectile form and it can stick to it without blowing the payload into pieces, a different challenge. Imagine either shooting a stick of gum with some payload at the car, or have the car run right into it. If you can't beat'em, join 'em :). I would call this project mosquito, except it doesn't get splat.

I see there is good production value in knowing more about the asteroid composition. What get's me excited is reaching far out into space we might not have thought of possible within our lifetime. Maybe attach a beacon along with it and who know's, maybe something else discovers it and it points right back at us.

Any thoughts to this?
Well, that is a fair point. I think the US Government should give me 1 billion dollars. This actually is a Pareto-optimal action too, since I will then have 1 billion dollars and the rest of you will be no worse off. In fact, you will be exactly the same amount off as before.
Which is why they need to allow bankruptcy. If the answer is "students will just declare bankruptcy after graduation" then at least the moral hazard is on the other foot.

> returns can get errors either from the response itself or the context

Not really!

To get errors "from the response" you're going to have to wrap the entire `ResponseWriter` to pass downstream, which is a) a lot of noise, b) can cause some subtle issues (you didn't really need to also implement Pusher, did you? you're sure no one already called Write(Header) on the thing you're wrapping, right? Ever heard of "requestTooLarger"?).

To get errors "from the context", the downstream handler and you need to agree on how to record them. The downstream handler gets your context, you can't get its. So you need to prepare error logging for it, or agree on the same higher-level handler to do it for both of you. You're in trouble as soon as you try to integrate an arbitrary handler - which is the entire point of using the standard handler interface, so why bother?

Or is there some magic pattern for either of these I'm missing?
A few things:

- Growth stocks will drop and keep dropping as interest rates increase, NFLX does not make money and is classic growth, the companies valuation is $30-50B at best and I expect it to fall to that level.

- Like others have said NFLX's content currently is terrible, alot of their hit shows have either ended or are on hiatus due to the pandemic.

- Their monthly prices are high and given the above point households are throwing out the trash so to speak and nothing NFLX has supports a $20 monthly subscription.

- Supporting kid porn like "cuties" made alot of people mad, unsure why they chose this position but its just shooting themselves in the foot.
A small foreword: I'm not criticize author work but the concept of nomadic work. I have nothing against nomadic life. I have much against working in public place with the screen visible, the keyboard visible, often connected on crappy WiFi sometimes even proxyed networks, ...

Working on a desktop means that screen and keyboard must be in a controlled and reasonably private environment, a personal boat is ok, a tent can be ok, a camper can be ok, but not a public place with people normally sit behind you. Also when you need to talk a quiet place is mandatory.

Long story short: WFH is NOT working in a café or on a beach. Similarly nomadic work is not open-space work. Those of open space kind should IMVHO classified as dangerous to the point that outside special case it must be forbidden.
It was a tangential comment and I never mentioned politics, at all. 15 year old program or not, what do citizens who meet all those things I mentioned get in return?

We see ourselves as a nation of immigrants. Where you came from, perhaps you had a social contract passed down through generations of the history of your people/ tribe/ ethnic group. But you gave that up when you came here.

Americans see themselves as the descendents of their own unique "first generation" ancestor who broke ties with his people of origin and came here to stand on his own two feet. We don't see ourselves as responsible for YOUR first generation ancestor's home country problems or failure to make it here. We may in our newly formed ethnic enclaves take care of each other, but that's opt in. Patriotism to us is about preserving that independence- not a shared lineage. I am generalizing here obviously, but you were asking a kind of zeitgeist question. Hope I help something click for you.

>> It's crazy to cancel student loans and still keep issuing the exact same loans. If we believe the loans are unjust then the government should stop handing them out as the very first step.

A wise man once told me "The first thing you should do when you find yourself in a hole is stop digging". This is my standard response to the student loan crisis and many others.

Weekly and seasonal changes are not a concern for nuclear power - reactors can scale up or down thermal generation on that larger time frame. Daily power fluctuations are much smaller than you seem to think, 20% to 30%.

Excesses of energy are easily solved: use it to desalinate water, create hydrogen fuel, or some other energy intensive things. And as stated previously, nuclear power plants can reduce their output if needed by more aggressively cooling the reactor. Nuclear plants want to operate at 100% load as much as they can, but they don't need to.

Renewables have the opposite problem: they don't produce energy when we need it. No amount of solar panels will produce energy when the sun is down. Peak pricing is not going to help us here. This is why renewable advocates assume that there's going to be some magic storage solution that offers effectively free and unlimited storage.

> Like pumped hydro or off peak pricing which already exists and is therefore included in your "flat" graph.

The USA has 20 GWh of pumped hydro storage. That's 2.4 minutes of electricity supply at an average hourly consumption of 500 GW.
I don't like Paris' broad boulevards. In my opinion they're the least interesting part of the city. The best places to congregate are always off the main line of commerce, away from cars and trucks. Obviously, proper waste disposal and lamps are good, but I don't know why we're taking it for granted that criticism of Hausmann's aesthetics is "hilariously wrong."
I am starting to think this is a sign of a big weakness in the American system. These half baked actions are evident in health care, security, and all other categories. I think it has to do with the fact that there are so many parties acting in bad faith that it is hard to get comprehensive legislation that addresses the problem as a whole vs just piecemeal bits and pieces because that is all that can be pushed through. I don't know what the solution to this is other than a complete reset of the system (which itself would require the existing system to produce and pass)

You can't pay for groceries with crypto yet. The government is making adoption more difficult by doing things like classifying all crypto as assets, so every transaction by a legitimate business requires they have to do a ton of tax paperwork about it. Some countries use bitcoin as official currency, so this not universally the case.

I don't know if adoption will increase, nor do I have a strong opinion on whether it should. But it does solve the specific, narrow problem of lack of basic banking for the poor.

Is it an elementary school?

In our rural school district, you're probably not even going to be on the school bus schedule if you live within a mile unless you're still in elementary school. In middle school/high school you can have up to a 1 mile walk to the bus before they will add a new stop. Elementary school kids have to be farther than 1/4 mile from the bus stop before they add a new stop.

Bear in mind though, that a lot of these rules are because it gets so cold here and they don't want 6 year-olds walking a mile to school in a blizzard when it's -20F.

> people who either have made bad decisions, had less fortunate circumstances than others, or a combination of both deserve to live under a mountain of debt for the rest of their life? - No

Why does this logic only apply to people who made bad decisions and had less fortunate circumstances or a combination of both only apply to people who did so in the context of taking out student loans? If making bad decisions and having less fortunate circumstances is grounds for student loan forgiveness, why isn't it grounds for credit card debt forgiveness? Or home or auto loan forgiveness?
And with an Arm64 backend, adding RISC-V is probably going to be a walk in the park.
