I find that for creative or problem-solving type activities two things are pretty crucial:

1. You need to be able to get up out of your chair and go do something else for a bit with zero friction.

2. You need to be able to start early or work late when you are in a good flow state with zero friction.

Working in an office destroys both of these almost completely because of the subtle (or not so subtle) pressure to do all your work in one contiguous 8-hour stretch each day where any time spent out of your seat is not considered work, even though many thorny problems have been solved during a walk or a workout, etc.
The idea in North America is that homes are mostly investments. The real estate market grows and the home accrues additional value. At some point in retirement, typically when stairs become too difficult you might downsize to a condo, cashing in a fraction of the value. Alternatively, if you need a nursing home you sell the house to pay the exorbitant costs associated with that.

The motivation for homes to be investments is that we are taking out the largest loan we will ever have and allocating more than 100% of everything we own into an asset. Having done so it's natural to want that asset to generate returns.
They are absolutely NOT necessary. Otherwise a monk with perfect self-actualization would lose all that when their monastery burns down. I’m fairly confident that isn’t the case. Instead shelter becomes a dominant motivator, but they still self-actualize just fine.

A few obvious gaps to highlight that we're actively working on:

* The OAuth scopes for login with Twitter are overly broad. This appears to be a limitation of Firebase Auth's SDK, it only supports the Twitter OAuth 1.0 API, whereas Twitter only provides more fine-grained scopes if we use OAuth 2. We're looking into whether we can make changes to Firebase Auth to contribute upstream that would let us request email addresses without permission to view your timeline, followers, etc.

* There are a few quirks with our UX on mobile devices, and Comments are not visible on mobile. We've focused on the desktop experience for reading and writing at first, but a lot of our users do come to us on Mobile, so making this better is a high priority.

* We're missing a lot of the standard social features you might expect from an app like this: following, reactions, @-mentions, topics, search, etc. These and many others are on our roadmap, but as a bootstrapped team trying to maintain a high quality bar, we're moving on them pretty slowly.

I agree with the parent that the focus should probably be on something he wants to build or a problem he wants to solve. It's easier to stay motivated that way.
Those things should all still be used with a dsl iac. They're not bringing anything new to the table in the argument of dsl vs general programming language for infrastructure.

Arguably this comment even demonstrates a bit of what I consider one of the biggest problems in the space. It's common for someone who hasn't bought in to dsl based iac tooling to imply dsl based tooling is from a less sophisticated place where modern engineering practices aren't applied, and it's better to grow up and use big-boy tools.

It's almost like they've forgotten the dsl based tooling was in fact built by other application developers with intense subject matter expertise in the space.

I seriously doubt that Go would compile faster than Java. Like, neither does any reasonable amount of optimization, and I have never heard Java considered slow in compile time. Sure, one can do some very cryptic module-graph with their chosen build tool, but otherwise it should be as fast as it gets.

Started something new last year and was considering Heroku, but their HA database offering uses async replication: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-postgres-ha#fai...

> Like followers, standbys are kept up to date asynchronously. This means that it is possible for data to be committed on the primary database but not yet on the standby. In order to minimize data loss we take two very important steps:

> 1. We do not attempt the failover if the standby is more than 10 segments behind. This means the maximum possible loss is 160MB or 10 minutes, whichever is less.

> 2. If any of the 10 segments were successfully archived through continuous protection, but not applied during the two minute confirmation period, we make sure they are applied before bringing the standby out of read-only mode.

> Typically there is little loss to committed data.

AWS RDS and GCP Cloud SQL do synchronous replication, so you are much less likely to lose data in common hardware failure scenarios.

With those options available, a managed DB with async replication is a no-go. I don't understand how so many businesses would be ok with it. (I suspect most people don't even realize that Heroku HA is async.)

Whats the child's actual goal though? Is it to be able to gain a useful workplace skill that will actually provide financial support for their lives (something that their peers who don't end up in tech will struggle with heavily)? If so web dev is honestly a really good path, and quite useful, and will touch on things they already know.

If they're a gamer see if they can make some mods - minecraft is good for it, but the best one is something they're already into.

If they care deeply about some world issue like say climate change, try to have him make some visualizations and do some data science on climate data to understand whats going on.

What you do with coding is imo a bit more important than how you code. Does the kid want to take apart toasters and put them back together again? What actually motivates them?
Awesome, I wonder if there is a possibility to create a chrome extension that works like 'Vue devttools' and show the heap and changes in real-time and maybe allow editing. That would be amazing for learning / debugging.

Hi, Redox OS looks very interesting and I'd love to help contribute. Using rust for an OS seems like a big win for safety and stability down the road. I've emailed info@redox-os.org a while ago to try and get account approved so I can join the chat and begin to contribute - However I have had no response. Is there another way of me being able to get onto the chat?
That's essentially true, and it is a real tradeoff. Which side of it is worth more to a given person is probably more of a value judgment than anything, I suspect.

Unless you need to shoot a lot of high frame (60fps+) rates I think there a lot of alternative options. There is incredible and award winning work made made with Sonys, Canons and Black Magic cameras and of course Arris. Producers and creative directors with big budgets love to get excited about Red cameras but most often the reality is they wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between footage from different manufacturers. I think Red is a bit of a status symbol at this point as all the competition has pretty much caught up.

I think you could spend 50% of the price on a c500ii or a FX9 and get 90% of quality. That leaves a lot of money on the table for a decent set of cinema glass.

Or you can get a used Alexa Mini for the same price as a Raptor.

> The writing is on the wall when it comes to x86 for mobility, x86 is crap for mobility

Is it? Or are legacy manufacturers just bad at staying up-to-date with the latest node advancements. The only reason Apple has made a consistent case for ARM is because they're using lithography that's more than twice as dense as Intel and ~50% more dense than AMD. When you map out their power efficiency, I think most of it tracks. If Apple built the M1 on x86, I'd wager it would have the same battery life, +/-10%.

> ARM is fast enough to emulate legacy x86 apps

Nitpicking, but Rosetta isn't an emulator so much as it is a dynamic recompiler. The code you're running is translated, not interpreted, which is why it can even run at near-native speeds in the first place.

> In that respect, I see Qualcomm's strategic positioning as being great because they power Android. I can only see them coming after Intel's Celeron line with a vengeance in the medium term, and I don't think they really be more than in the ballpark when it comes to performance, I think Qualcomm needs to compete on cost and power efficiency.

This much I can understand, and I think you're spot on with how they're going to compete with the Celeron line. Now that Alder lake is rolling out though, I think things are going to get really heated. Intel can now compete on power efficiency, and it's only going to get better as they focus on density and pushing heterogeneous architectures. Qualcomm is going to have a hard time competing with TSMC 5nm 8c16t Ryzen chips and 4e/4p big.LITTLE Intel chips, since both of them should have pretty good power efficiency. That leaves you with cost, which I reckon AMD will struggle with, but Intel should be able to price pretty competitively courtesy of their more mature silicon. Time will tell, I guess.

> I don't really see RISC-V being a thing any time soon because smartphones run ARM, they don't run RISC-V.

I mean, yeah. RISC-V didn't even exist when ARM was being considered for smartphones, but that hasn't held it back. Android runs just fine on RISC-V today, the big reason it's not being used is because there are no major manufacturers who produce RISC-V chips, leaving them fairly expensive and out-of-reach for phone companies. That price is expected to nosedive over the next few years though, especially with the insane level of investment from countries like China. Since there's no licensing involved with making RISC-V chips, manufacturers will have to compete directly on performance and pricing merits alone. It's whataboutism to be sure, but things are looking really good for RISC-V usurping ARM in the next 5-10 years.
… yes (and I know), but that has nothing to do with the point being made here, which is about the compute time required to manage the memory.
Until recently every US broker accepted payment for order flow (even Vanguard did for options). Only Robinhood gave you back the money in the form of free trades. Thats to be commended.

Payment for order flow is a complex topic, mostly because the incentives are tricky, but at the end of the day, unless you are doing gigantic block trades (which you’d hire a specialist to do) you are almost certainly paying less in slippage with PFOF than you are in fees.

Same here from when I was in college in the 80's.
a) "big money" -- (such as retirement accounts or other institutions) -- don't care about "retail." They have to follow certain risk regulations and plans and will follow them, and that's it. Market makers will try to drive ahead of the market in an effort to provide liquidity (and make money to live and prosper in the process).

b) Robinhood was "blocked" because it decided to not do any serious risk management. And by blocked we mean it didn't have the cash that the clearinghouse required to service them.

c) No the collateral is for the clearance. The margin you refer to is what Robinhood lends you the customer. They are handling (mishandling in the case of Robinhood) their own equivalent side to be able to provide you with those stock trades.

What you see as a successful trade is only the execution of the trade -- that is someone has agreed to buy or sell at the price you asked/bid for. Next someone (broker + clearing house) needs to clear (Robinhood fucked up here) and then needs to settle. The clearing house takes the risk in case one of the counterparties falters or becomes insolvent, to ensure transactions do happen. It takes 2 days to trade (execution to settlement) non-options in most systems I am aware of these days.

c') Robinhood was just blind sided when its clearinghouse said "Hey, you know you actually just have way more buys that are more volatile than normal to the point of issues at clearing is 1, so increase your collateral." Robinhood said:"No money." Clearinghouse: "No worries, no trades, until you change your risk profile."

(Here is a quick link (just googled, couldn't find a better article I like) outlining the process https://thismatter.com/money/stocks/settlement-and-clearing.....

P.S. (@Edit): Also the brokers can not legally touch the customers' "hard cash" money and post it to cover their own obligations -- that would be commingling and let us say it is not good. I am not going to even begin imagining the issues, but people continuously get screwed due to commingling of funds.
They shouldn't have trusted Robinhood to begin with.

All of the above. There are tons of houses available all over the country [except within a 2 hour driving commute of the few major financial hub cities] for prices that the median household income would readily qualify.

There's tons of new house construction going on, primarily in areas that are just barely outside of easy affordability (places like all of Texas that isn't Austin, for example).

What there is not is much house construction in the super top most desired cities, in commute-range of the big financial and tech hubs. The combination of high demand and anti-housing policy have made housing in those locations utterly unobtainable.

It's not even really that all the property is going to big investors -- most of the big investors prefer markets like Texas where the ratio of rents to prices is more workable. Much better to pay $500,000 per unit and rent out for $2,400/month than to pay $2,000,000 per unit and rent out for $5,500/month.
Very valid point. I think for me an important distinction here is the problem size and complexity. The larger your problem, the more certainty you need that your solution works. This is also why we write thousands of tests for large software projects, while just a couple might suffice for a hobby project.

Does this mean that we should not explore new science and innovative solutions? Certainly not.

But before you start engaging in macro-ecological interventions, you better be damn sure that what you are doing is safe, now and tomorrow, both in first, second and nth order effects.

Most countries have many exceptions. A UK “tourist visa” is called a “Standard Visitor visa.”

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/...

Remote working

Visitors are permitted to undertake activities relating to their employment overseas remotely whilst they are in the UK, such as responding to emails or answering phone calls. However, you should check that the applicant’s main purpose of coming to the UK is to undertake a permitted activity, rather than specifically to work remotely from the UK. Where the applicant indicates that they intend to spend a large proportion of their time in the UK and will be doing some remote working, you should ensure that they are genuinely employed overseas and are not seeking to work in the UK.

PS: Actual rules are here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules but the general intent seems to be if your there to do something very temporary like compete in a sports tournament or do something for someone outside the UK that requires you to briefly visit the UK it’s fine.

At your son's age, there are plenty of how to program python courses using udemy and the like that show to build progressively harder apps for a complete beginner. From there, he could probably try to do one of those google certificate courses on android development or the like.

I usually recommend everyone who wants to learn programming:

- to write some games,

- or alternative to write some tools to be used for themselves to automate or simplify some of their tasks.

Writing games can be so much fun, and is incredibly deep such that you can pretty much touch upon all topics of programming, networking, computer science, algorithms and data structures, artificial intelligence, 3D graphics, GPU programming, low level programming, multi threading, etc. But also, you can start very shallowly and simply.

Writing tools gives you the feeling how useful and productive this can be.

What languages to use depends a bit on taste, background knowledge, and how steep the learning curve can be. I think Python is a good general purpose starting language.

Also, in any case, you should start actively coding right away. I know people who wanted to learn programming but just kept reading books and watching tutorial videos all the time while not really trying it out, and in the end they obviously did never really learn it. You need to have projects, or just random playgrounds. Also, don't start with a big project right away. Do many small projects. Play around.
