We had a guy in Usti nad labem coming to Raiffeisenbank every few weeks and deposing money, approximately 4b usd in total. The bank was supposed to run due diligence but its Raiffeisenbank which does not seem to give a shit. I can sort of understand trying to limit cash when you see that the due diligence is mostly omitted.

Internal Inspiration: The Counterforce to External Stimulation
I believe above 10k, you're just required to have a source for the 10k. One of my buddies in college brought his entire school tuition in a suitcase over when he started school and it caused a bit of a shit show because he had to go back home and get proof to release the money or something like that. He came from a wealthy family so he had never ran into that before.
This is an enormously important distinction: security ne privacy. Although you can make your own Chrome install insecure, by default it really isn't bad. Transforming it into something that isn't actively compromising your privacy is another matter. Flash, for all its "democratizing" impact (not that I agree it really had), didn't address either. Back then too few were seriously doing anything about security or privacy. As someone who lived through the Rise and Fall of Flash, I have to second the sentiment of an earlier post: I'm happier now being able to use a text editor in my work instead of an odd assortment of vendor specific tools. That, and HTML5/CSS3 has proven to be amazingly innovative and flexible enough to finally make the case for standards easier. Now all we have to do is keep the big boys from perverting these standards into monsters from the pit of hell. Man, is that going to be a fun ride.

> While you are not wrong, those requirements are the same for all houses.

Not every house needs triple-pane windows and R25 insulation in the walls, sitting on a 8-ft deep basement, with a steep roof pitch for snow to slide off of. Generally, you want to cut corners, because building to code in New York would be overkill in Texas.

You could have unique plans for each climate zone, but then the slope of the land and the shape of the lot also matters. Ideally, you'd want to be situated on a southward facing slope, beneath the road, so you could have huge windows towards the back of the house to taking in winter sun, natural insulation from the hill, and smaller windows facing the street. If you can't, you'll have to compromise on something that makes the house less pleasant to live in and/or harder to heat/cool.

At this point, we might actually have 100 distinct home designs, for each climate zone and slope. If you're lucky, these standard might actually be compliant with zoning for your lot, and maximize the allowable use of the lot. Every town is different, and who knows what silly rules your town requires.

At this point, you still need a design that local builders know how to build. Builders talk about "communities of practice", where they know how to build a certain way in response to how all of the other contractors in that area will also build, so that a subcontractor doesn't ruin another subcontractor's work. If you hire builders to build in ways they're not familiar with, they'll make mistakes. Most mistakes will be fine, but they could add up to failing to meet the code or standard for which the house was designed.

Ideally, you want to find an architect and a builder who have worked together before, to design and build the kind of house that you want using the techniques appropriate for that design, with the builder having crews of subcontractors that he/she has worked with before. If you've reached this point, you might as well take the extra step to building the perfect house for you, and customize it just a little more.

I'm not sure where you're located, but here in the US you can build the building you're describing (a square house with a gable roof, without eaves if you want the roof to terminate at the wall) pretty easily with regular dimensional lumber framing.

Barndominiums generally imply steel framing and requires heavy equipment, at least to hoist the steel beams into place. They are less easy to build and maintain than a stick-framed home, in my opinion. A simple incarnation of a latter could be thrown up by two hobbyists, if it's small enough.

Lstiburek's "perfect wall"[0] may be of interest to you. Simply put, layered from the inside to the outside, it's drywall, wood studs (with batt insulation), sheathing (plywood or OSB), plastic house-wrap over the sheathing to serve as an air and vapor barrier, some depth of external insulation on top of that in the form of boards, then finally the exterior cladding.

Why do you need external validation of what you know? Is a test going to demonstrate that you know something? Is it going to demonstrate that you know what you need to know, or what the person who designed the test thinks you need to know? And all that aside, what use is the test score? Is that something you'd put on a resume?

Absolutely. If there is no logical change to a public interface, then your e2e tests (irrespective of whether they are unit tests, where units are strictly public members or classes or modules, or some other kind of tests) should not change either.
TLDR: Talk to a highly experienced general contractor (GC) who builds homes. The good ones will have plenty of plans that you can edit to your heart's content. All three GCs that I interviewed immediately showed / emailed me plans they thought I would like to start from.

---

I built a house in Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States,) a few years ago. A few things to consider:

When I started working with my GC, he had a whole filing cabinet full of designs. They weren't "open source," (as in copyrighted under GPL/MIT/Apache,) but he scanned the design we started from.

I then used (shockingly) preview on Mac to cut and paste it up to move some walls and rooms around. (Basically, we took some space out of the master bedroom to make one of the other bedrooms larger. The master bedroom still has a lot of extra space.)

He then sent my changes to a professional designer who brought the design up to something that the contractors could follow, and made the garage deeper so we had extra storage and a garage door for a riding lawn mower. In 2017, in Cape Cod, this cost me a little over $1000.

---

But, if you really want to get creative, I suggest hiring an architect. They have the experience that you, as an untrained novice, don't have. A good architect should be able to weigh your desires and give you something that'll be better than you could imagine.

Considering that redos are very expensive when building a house, spending a few thousand on an architect will be much cheaper than spending tens of thousands on a "redo" after the fact.

---

Furthermore, if there is a house you like, at least in MA, it's easy to find the dimensions online. Just google "[town name] GIS", and you will find the town's database of all homes. Enter the address (or street,) and you will be able to find room layouts (with sizes) used for assessments, and even the assessment of value for the home. These are all publicly available records.

It's also useful to pull the GIS data of any land you're planning on buying (in MA.) This will tell you who paid what for the land going back as far as the records are available. You can use this in negotiations. (I knew that my GC overpaid for the land before the 2008 crash, so I adjusted my negotiation style accordingly.)
> Some ground can deal with basements. Most of Florida can't, so they build on slabs.

Around here every house has a basement. Flooding is an extremely minor concern given the terrain and you want the foundation to be below the frost line. The provincial building code requires a heated basement on clay soil (all nearby soil is clay) to a depth of max(1.2m, frost line).
Nice catch. It's definitely Baikonur.

I've had the same experience the two times I've tried btrfs, about two to four years ago, in my case with Linux VMs that would occasionally be abruptly terminated. In both cases, the corruption that couldn't be automatically repaired happened within the first few of these sudden terminations.

Ext4 seems to handle that scenario better. I can't think of a single instance of filesystem corruption that fsck couldn't fix, and some of those VMs have probably been abruptly terminated at least a hundred times over the years.
Do the DS&A stuff. Learn the common data structures and their big-O. Do some Leetcode questions. You quickly discover that there were things you could have done better, and you realize pretty fast that a huge swath of problems are actually solvable with a small number of solutions.

Other one is systems. Maybe less relevant for some people, but it's worth having a deeper model for how the OS works. How does virtual memory work, what does the scheduler do, threading, etc.

Finally perhaps programming languages and compilers. Gives you perspective on how the tools be use are constructed.

vice in many forms is a problem, of a certain degree. Justice has long held a principled view that punishment must be proportional to the crime. Social studies and medical literature go further and find that moral behavior does not respond to command and control.

I find it interesting how, as soon as the word error shows up, people seemingly forget how to program.

Ignore the word error for a moment. Think about how you program in the general case, for a hypothetical type T. What is it that you do to to your T values to ensure that you don't have the same problem?

Now do that same thing when T is of the type error. There is nothing special about errors.

BTW. Does anyone know what is the current state of WASM Constant Time proposal?
The main reason for RTL (and then DTL) at the time was conserving transistors. Discrete ones were quite expensive. In the mid-1960s roughly speaking, in modern dollars, a discrete transistor was about $10, while a semiconductor diode was about $1 and a resistor was, like today, about $0.05.

The cost of the transistors dwarfed concerns about the cost of the boards or other components. This is a flip-flop circuit from a PDP-8. [1]

It's diode-transistor logic, primarily. It's for 3 bits. There are only two transistors used per flip-flop to store the bits. A modern designer would use more transistors to route the inputs/outputs and for addressing the flip-flop. [2] The PDP-8 designers used capacitors and diode and resistor networks, to selectively pass pulses, using transistors only when truly necessary to invert or boost a signal. Several dozen diodes, caps and resistors, plus pulse logic (which complicates the whole design) were still cheaper than a few more transistors.

With early integrated circuits, the yield was terrible. Most of the devices didn't work. It's much easier to build up a working resistor than a working diode on an IC, and it's easier to build a diode than it is a transistor. Also, with a very large process size, there's little concern about the heat of resistors. When we start increasing speed and shrinking the die, the power dissipation becomes considerable. Even by the late 1960s the heat of RTL at high speed limited how densely you could pack in it an IC. This is the same reason why, much later, CMOS would displace NMOS, despite requiring 2x as many components on chip. It runs cooler so it can be packed much more densely and run at a higher clock.

(If you absolutely needed speed, from the 1950s right into the 1990s, you would use ECL, a kind of logic that doesn't switch on/off so the transistors never enter full saturation; like a differential amplifier, the current flow is constant.)

That's because a lot of used car sales p2p, and in cash. Reason being, normal people usually do not have terminals to pay by card (which has limits as well), and doing a wire transfer is somewhat risky. Either because the seller is left without money nor a car if the wire transfer is stopped by the buyer, or the buyer is left without a car and money, if the wire transfer goes through but zhe car doesn't show up. Sure, that can be resolved, but it is a major pain. Exchanging cash for keys and papers so is saver for everyone involved. And depending om zhe car, the amoints can he pretty high.

Car dealers, used or new, are different so.
