But “most people” aren’t leaving California, you need to look at the margin. A marginal mover might very well be swayed by high taxes to a significant degree. For example, when I was moving to the States, one major factor for choice of Washington over California was exactly state taxes. I also have friends who are planning their move out of California to Texas, and for them taxes also play a significant role in their choice. It’s not only taxes that made them decide to move, but it’s rarely only a single factor that makes people move.
Definitive yes to reading! It develops them so quickly AND its a joy to both. Start early, doesnt matter if they dont yet understand. Just listenong your voice and building a habit you both will adore
It’s funny how these things are different throughout the Commonwealth. In Canada, if you asked someone for a Crescent Wrench they’d give you the adjustable wrench just fine, but if you asked them for a spanner of any kind they’d look at you like you had antennae sticking out of your head.

So much so that, while typing this, iOS autocorrect tried to change “spanner” into “scanner” for me.
Bit of advice regarding leaving your toddler... to work or wherever.

It absolutely pays to tell them how sorry you are that you have to leave and how you will miss them, but that you are going to earn some money and think of them.

It also really helps to accumulate tiny, but stimulating, presents (1-10$ value) and giving it to them from time to time for waiting for you. Toy cars, dice, soap bubbles, a piece of chocolate, etc.
I’ll add to this, there are tough problems that we solve on the front end that the backend could solve, but backend developers run scared from.

For example: most backends will let you query arbitrary data, but they won’t alert you when that query changes.

So we solve this on the frontend (often laboriously, with spaghetti).

IMO backend developers are often unwilling to do anything beyond CRUD… and specifically they are often unwilling to model the dynamics of a domain. They want to treat the domain as frozen in a moment of time.

In general, I would love to see more backend developers be more ambitious about trying to see which jobs the frontend is doing that could be solved on the backend. I think that could distribute some of the workload more evenly, and give BE devs a taste of what that higher level of complexity looks like.

Sometimes I think backend developers just write off hard problems that they could solve because “that’s a frontend concern”. It’s an easy excuse.
I don’t understand why whose types of nextdoor posts are a dumpster fire? Those seem like exactly the kind of things people actually care about. If I hear a car crash down the street I’m gonna go take a look.

One tendril of the problem is that online delivery enables organizations to track engagement at a more granular level than "which articles generated lots of letters to the editor?"

I suspect it takes a lot of integrity, stubbornness, or stupidity to continually plow resources into reporting out, writing, and editing eat-your-vegetables articles instead of reallocating those resources towards the content people engage with.
it's counterproductive to passive aggressively imply that people should cultivate a worldview that you think is correct. even if you are right, you seem not worth agreeing with.

No, but to be fair it's a good warning. I was never one to really let my emotions out like that, but random crying for no apparent reason definitely became a thing for me for the first few months of my son's life. I didn't know what was going on until other fathers admitted it happened to them too. That made me so much more comfortable with it.
I actually think micro-SaaS is an oasis.

There are hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people building small businesses to leverage a tiny opportunity in the market. Build a feature that no major player has captured yet.

This is good for the user for a time. But then they end up with a ton of tiny subscriptions, and trying to link them together to make a complete product.
All these tiny companies competing for eyeballs, to get the marketing to be recognized on top of the other tiny companies building similar tools.

And what's the goal of almost all of these little tools? To make a small difference in the efficiency of somebody running their business. Minor efficiencies, not game changers for the most part.

Then one of the big players comes in and adds the feature to their main product.
Poof, everything somebody worked long and hard for disappears.

Niche to find what you can build that's larger, but I think staying niche as a goal is a challenge.
Wayland has been used by actual people for less than 6 years. Fedora 25 released with it by default in late 2016. Before that it was heavily in development.
The problem with this tiny projects is that you need a web browser. And good luck browsing the web in old PCs. You can use Lynx and the like, but you know what I mean.

If you need second life for an old pc, It may be better to repurpose as server or something like that.
Ah, good times. On the topic of boxes, if you start building things with them, the best way to attach boxes together is using a hot glue gun. Don't use tape!
Spending more time outdoors makes it less likely the child will end up needing glasses. Learned that one too late.

Also, people carry their childhood experiences with them for the rest of their lives, and these experiences are shaping a lot of their adult behaviors. It’s sobering to think that we as parents are responsible not only for a slice of someone’s life but for its entire trajectory.
Yup. Alpine's rootfs is tiny (~3mb) and if you don't need firmware you would probably have a desktop image around this size.
I predict that one day it will be common for this to be a builtin language feature.
Why? As someone who worked in shipping once: because for you it is one letter while it is thousands for the people working there. Anything that can shave off seconds is welcome and to the benefit of the service and the environment.

And visual barcode systems are the defacto standard in shipping, because anybody with a label printer can print those labels. Why would letters be an exception there? Because of some people's nostalgia?

Imagine programmers who insist on using punch cards because they have nostalgic feelings for them..

oo i have a 4 and 2 year old running around as i type this comment.
you specifically asked what to prep for what's to come so i'll make some recommendations for that:
- you're going to lose sleep, i dont know how to practice or prepare for this other than for the next 4 months (post birth), sleep will be a luxury but even moreso for momma so get as much sleep as you can now. things get better between 4 months and 2 years and then the terrible twos occur which in my experience has been sleepless nights for a couple of weeks again.
- you're most likely going to gain weight. most habits/structure you have with working out, diet, etc.. go out the window when baby enters your world. if you dont already have work outs and healthy diet in place, it's only going to get worse. after my first born, i gained 30 pounds and when i received a pre-diabetic prognosis when my son was 12 months, i turned my life around by getting back into the habit of working out/exercising and went strict keto. by the time my second was born, i was down 40 pounds. because i had built the habit of exercise and diet going into my second born, i actually maintained my lifestyle until a completely different life milestone of being forced to step in as a General Contractor for my rona suburb house threw a wrench in everything.

after reading my own comment, i think the main thing to prepare for is sht will feel like it is hitting the fan (sometimes literal sht). nothing will go as expected and everything will change. don't try to "plan" and set expectations for how things will go because it most likely won't happen how it's "planned". this doesn't mean don't plan... you can absolutely plan for things but don't hinge success or happiness based on those plans!

i think i handle stress and unknown situations MUCH better than my partner because i'm a "go with the flow" kind of person. my spouse is a "plan for everything and always get disappointed" kind of person. with kids, nothing ever goes according to plan and the better you can shift your mindset to live and enjoy life as it happens, the more you'll actually be able to.

as the father, there's less we're literally able to do in the first 12 months (if momma is breast feeding) so anything you can help with and call "your responsibility" the less momma has to do. my friends have become the best at:
- diaper changers
- putting baby to sleep
- burping baby after feeding (btw, baby ALWAYS can burb after a feeding. you pat/rub baby back surprisingly hard until you hear them burb, ALWAYS)
- shower/bathe baby
- washing/cleaning bottles
- laundry/cleaning around the house

my life changed when mini-me popped out. hope yours does too!

You're assuming that the point was to actually deliver something of value that would help track cybercrime and that the contract was awarded fairly. I'm not sure this was the case.

Most likely, the brokenness of the system is a feature to justify endless busywork for various people at all levels of the stack, where as a working implementation would not only require little/no maintenance but would actually deliver actionable evidence forcing them to do real police work.

Yeah, the processor world changed a LOT in those 8 years. Specifically, Berkley RISC and MIPS were developed, which ARM was based on.

In today’s world of “tick-tock-tock-tock-tock-tock” it’s easy to forget just how fast the semiconductor industry was moving during the 70’s-80’s. Just about every processor sold introduced a completely new architecture
Adding to this, go for simple toys, wooden blocks are great. Legos are awesome for slightly older kids. Encourage them to be creative, one of my sons friends would buy Lego kits, build them, and put them on self. I say build it, break it, combine it, create it.

I reasonably agree with your assertion that times have changed; several of the optimizations we come to expect from compilers/JIT trade faster execution for more space as such tradeoff is often very worth it.

However if you agree with the proposition of attempting to supply a reasonably "lean core" with extensions, if said lean core is too opinionated, you will, soon or later, either have to adapt your workflow, or workaround said lean core.

I think a somewhat similar thing applies to silverblue ( https://silverblue.fedoraproject.org/ ) and it's very hard to actually use it as intended (only using things inside flatpak/toolbx), without messing with the overlay system. I very often feel the need to replace half of the "provided" applications, and as such it would be in fact better if they were not supplied in the first place.
Most startups get basic security for networking and compute wrong, K8s just adds even more things to mess up. Odds are even if you use an out of the box solution, unless you have prior experience you will get it wrong.

I will always recommend using whatever container / function as a service e.g. ECS, GCF, Lambda any day over K8s for a startup. With these services its back to more similar models of security such as networking rules, dependency scanning, authorization and access...

I did not link to Unity8 at all in my article.

The article is about Rudra Saraswat, so I linked to Rudra's project, UnityX. As far as I know, he isn't working on Ubuntu Touch at all.
MPD plus MAFA works well with android and it has an IOS version. Personally I only use it around the house but it ought to work fine if you forward the port. Even though phone storage is ridiculously cheap now it is kind of nice not to worry about keeping it in sync in terms of both music and playlists and seamlessly switch from local playback to streaming.
It's one of his solutions for refactoring long methods that operate on more than one variable, so that simple "extract method" refactoring isn't feasible.

He says to turn the function into a class and local variables into private fields. So that you can split the function into small methods that operate on these private fields. I used it a few times in a company that had strict "no Sonar warnings" policy. But I hate the resulting code much more than the initial code.

Yes, I see that fairly often. A lot of powersport carburetors are Japanese (even for non Japan brands of ATVs) and use JIS screws.

And very very often the owner has tried to take it apart with a Phillips screwdriver and damaged the fasteners as a result.

I have a JIS screwdriver from Vessel that works really well.
> The protocol facilitates automated transactions between cryptocurrency tokens on the Ethereum blockchain through the use of smart contracts.

ETH, BTC, etc. -- it's all a pyramidal ponzi scheme.

Inside the pyramid scheme, "products" have a value. Outside, they dont. This is all going to zero. It's just beanie babies for tech bros.

It's kinda amazing your use case is to simplify problems people inside the system have. Do your research into MLMs.

Hopefully this collapses inside of 6mo, it'll be a disaster if it survives long enough to impoverish large numbers of people.
...the cultural tapestry of the South.

This is sort of a "stolen valor" situation, because Mendon MO is certainly not the South. One could make that argument for parts of Missouri, but this ain't the Ozarks. Mendon is on the same latitude as Dayton OH, so only JD Vance types would pretend to be confused about this.
Yeah, but you haven’t found bugs in the Linux kernel’s TCP parser. Your argument basically boils down to “X is true. If you think I’m wrong, then prove it by <extremely difficult task>”

(It turns out that verification does reduce bugs, but the refusal of folks here to audit parsers doesn’t prove anything either way)
Marketing - which is making the market aware you exist - is a fundamental element of business. Even those that do “no marketing” have to do some sort of marketing, it just isn’t the advertising sort.

There is all manner of marketing possible at all price points. Just hitting up your network is marketing. I have successfully sold products by having people answer questions all day every day to the long tail of Reddit comments in honest ways explaining how our product solves their problem.
Today's "tiny" distributions would be considered yesterday's bloatware. One of my first Linux desktops (Slackware Linux) ran on a 486 with 8 megs of RAM, including X11. This was a 1.x kernel. Running emacs would put it into swap.
Thanks I appreciate the context and resources from someone with a similar background!
That is not the reasoning.

The reasoning is for decades, newspapers sold many papers and made a decent amount of money, compared to today.

Therefore, the incentive to create better machines that allow them to sell more and prevent theft was higher then than today, and yet they did not.

Either the technology did not exist back then, or more likely, it simply was not worth the cost of better machines for the additional revenue.

Therefore, if it was not worth it back when newspapers were in high demand, why would it be worth developing today at a fraction of the demand?
"Proper" PHP with a modern framework such as Laravel is decent and as far as I know would forbid this (there's a global exception handler that returns a 500 page with a stack trace).

Bare PHP with no framework or anything to patch PHP's shortcomings is IMO unacceptable in today's day and age.

I am really surprised people are calling this a story or narrative. I found factual statement made by the designers in their own patents that "throw-out" (their phrasing similar to cam-out) is intentional to protect against wrecking screws or tooling with use with clutched automatic screw drivers.

Sections 7.35 to 7.55 discuss this here:

https://pdfpiw.uspto.gov/.piw?PageNum=7&docid=02474994&IDKey...

Edit: As a side note, they point out that _all_ screws have throw-out, and the only way to not is to have "zero vertical angle is used on all engaging driving faces or the friction between the driver and the recess walls is greater than the axial component of the driving torque." (Section 7.15 in the link above)

They acknowledge that it's possible, but it's not done in their design intentionally.
> rideshare pricing for both demand and supply sides is an incredibly sophisticated statistics and economics problem, where appropriate modeling can have long term revenue impact.

This is the fallacy of completeness and sounds vaguely like Wassily Leontief's input-output planning and has been proven to not work [1]. In the absence of complete information - demand and supply, "appropriate modeling" will always fall short. Economics has again and again showed that sophisticated models always fail and simple heuristics based models work far better. I suspect a simple rules driven system would work just as well.

Uber big innovation IMHO was making supply extremely flexible by massively lowering cost to become a driver and making it possible to be a marginal driver. As a society, we should run with that innovation. The rest of stuff, the fancy app, the car tracking, the dynamic pricing is fluff hiding the real value add.
> Read to your children. We set a goal of [...]

I would have said "read to them", but it seemed too obvious to mention. I loved reading to my kids at bedtime. I got A LOT better at reading aloud; I think that by the time it ended (they became faster at reading to themselves than I could read aloud), I had become quite an exciting, theatrical reader.

Something episodic, like The Arabian Nights, is useful: "It's bedtime. Do you want to know what happened to AliBaba next?" Books with illustrations are good, for avoiding interruptions like "Dad, what's an elephant?" But not picture-books; there has to be something to read. The Very Hungry Caterpillar is for them to read on their own.

Setting an annual target reading quota seems a bit like over-anxious parenting. Just read for ten minutes, 365 nights per year. You'll have to spend that ten minutes settling them anyway; might as well make it fun for them and yourself.
So the little tourist versions you can buy around the city will be more accurate then.
Not sure how many sizes of Torz there actually are, but I have only seen T10,15,20,25,30,35,40 which is 7 sizes. I think I saw a smaller one in a precision screwdriver set next to the other weird iPhone/watch ones like tiny pentalobes. But effectively Torx for all normal applications is one of 7 sizes, with T20 and T25 being probably 95% of all wood screws for building/carpentry applications.

I wasn’t aware that there could even be a “T17” or “T31” - simply because no one would ever do it. Increments of 5 is already close enough to some times guess wrong.
I'm curious: why not for lawyers?
Using the helm charts from the community is arguably still doing it alone. There isn't anything back and forth. It's just the right tool for the right job. But, this starts being about language and semantics. Like saying that following a best practices on how to configure nginx isn't doing it alone, because someone else wrote that. Helm charts just very often expose what needs to be configured, and otherwise follows those best practices.

As for debugging. You do have a point that it becomes more difficult. But, this also holds true for any of the alternatives discussed her (lambdas, terraform). I'd argue that when it all comes down to it, that because you can spin up the entire infrastructure locally on things like minikube, that it makes it many times more easy to debug than other cloud-provider-only solutions.
Does it have another cross lightly engraved on the head, 45 degrees off from the main cross? Then it's Pozidriv. Does it have a small circular dot in one corner of the head? Then it's JIS.

There may be the occasional unmarked JIS screw though.
Poorly insulated walls lead to water condensing in the corners. In fact, concrete buildings are more prone mold during cold winters than anything that is properly insulated.
