I think the intention was for the militia to be well organized ahead of time and only then allowed to have guns. So furst you should gather bunch of people willing to listen to your orders and only then you all, as a group are allowed to own some guns. Nothing about where to keep them. Probably better to keep them at militia headquarters and issue them only when the time time comes.

But actual militias are goddamn scary so government prefers to allow individual gun ownership that amounts to nothing except thinning the herd of trigger happy rednecks.
Yeah, our population is in a petroleum-fueled boom and, as with all other species, it's okay that we go bust eventually. We could control that drawdown, or leave it to the wind.
Or try to claw our way towards technological solutions, which feels like we consider ourselves gods.
Or some combination; what technology can we reasonably keep through a population bust cycle?

Is it a large? Yes. Is it out of the normal for them? No. It is also not especially a difficult reach when looking at their existing cash/security balances and FCF.
Here my take. Not a pro, but still might find useful.

1. Learn basics of electricity, learn to use oscilloscope, logic analyzer. You don't necessary need to have knowledge to design complex PCBs (that's a separate skill and not easily attainable) but you need to be able to understand existing design on high-level and do some debugging. For example you wrote code which does some SPI to talk to some device but it does not work. You need to analyze electricity to understand what's going on in the wire.

2. Learn basics of assembly. You don't need to write your software in assembly, but you need to read it and write some little snippets if necessary.

3. Learn to read data sheets.

Modern MCUs and devices are really like libraries. You're using some interfaces, calling some functions and get some responses. Data sheets are library documentation.

4. Learn C, learn build tools (at least make), learn debugger (gdb), learn linker.

Then it's only matter of time and experience. Most vendors supply their terrible libraries that you're supposed to use. Most vendors support some bad IDEs that you're supposed to use. Often you're forced to use Windows because not everyone supports Linux or macOS. It's not fun part and sometimes you can avoid it, but sometimes you can't.
After one designs something, how does one print it? Or is that not the point?
The biggest downside I see is that 1. according to reviewers the battery life is utter garbage. Using Android probably isn’t helping that much. And 2. There is no actual purpose for this device, there’s nothing it does you can’t do better with a phone.

How can it be a waste of time? The whole point is to avoid wasting time talking about formatting on PRs or seeing line noise on PRs because people have slightly different preferences or settings for code formatting.

None. HN is too small for that to make any sense.

> trying to undermine the tech communities faith in established media

I'm usually in the media's camp, but like a sibling comment mentioned, "the media did that just fine themselves." It's too temping for them to try to use their power to try to tip the scales in politics, and every time they do that, people loose a little faith in them (though weighted to the side they're acting against).

The long-term end result of things like Rathergate, the stuff around Hunter Biden's laptop, innumerable more subtle things, and a frequently hectoring tone, is that too many people will not mourn the passing of the media (as they should), or are actively rooting for its destruction.
A hybrid has all the ICE stuff plus all the EV stuff crammed into the same box. It doesn’t seem you are reflecting well upon your own line of reasoning.
That’s a great question.

They work really well for reusing encapsulated logic in predictable ways. If you yield generators from within generators, it’s very easy to anticipate the flow of how they will execute, even if it’s conditional. It’s also very easy to do it asynchronously.

Apart from that, you can write logic which is agnostic of the flow it’s in, which makes it so you can yield it from any flow as long as the logic suits it. This makes it so something like a request and retry flow can use the same generators as an exponential back off version of the same logic, or you could drop the retry generator into database access logic, file upload or retrieval, and so on. If the retry logic is generic enough, it’ll be totally reusable.

Another use case is creating enormous or potentially infinite data structures which you can easily read and even manipulate. You can generate a deck of cards with just the suits and ranks, for example. If you add orders of magnitude to that scale factor, it still works just as well.

You can also easily wrap generators in a class or otherwise to make the app-facing logic nicer to look at. For personal projects I don’t bother, but I’ve done this at various jobs where I knew a dead-simple wrapper would dramatically clean up and simplify working with the generator while providing the same capability. It really depends on how much or how little can be abstracted and if it’s worthwhile.

I know you could say “but I can do this with promises” or similar, and in some cases you can (definitely not massive or infinite data traversal), but the control of the flow with a generator is remarkably powerful. Sometimes that’s very useful.
I am LMFAO off because AVR-8 is a common choice for a microcontroller for a gas pump as it can handle the buttons and pumps as well as the magnetic card reader, a serial link for credit card transactions, and the ability to drive a simple LCD controller.

Agree, the thing I hate most is people saying that it's "not user friendly", not realizing that it might be a subjective thing, and it's a very generic way of putting it, and how hard it is to satisfy hundreds of idiotic conflicting requirements. And most of all that it's them not wanting to put any effort in learning a new tool and asking developers to smoothen every possible use case, which is impossible.

China launches ambitious mission to far side of the moon
It's pretty straight forward in terms of pros and cons.

Cons:

You'll need to tighten your budget to account for the missing 12k. Depending on your country's tax rules, you'll contribute less to government benefit programs, which could have a small effect later. At worst, you'll see how you could have tightened your budget already and been saving and investing that money (12k over 10 years can result in maybe 150k).

One last con. If you do this, but don't follow through with effort, you'll potentially carry that mental weight. It seems like you're already past that kind of problem though, given how well you've used your time to build something else successful.

Pros:

There's no better time to trade back some money for your time than when you are younger, get paid less, and have fewer obligations. It's also easier to tighten a budget when you live alone (you don't say, but I'm making some assumptions).

You've already had some success, so committing more time to this effort of independence can be seen as a reasonable and even smart investment. Strike while the iron is hot.

If you start earlier, that gives you more time to slowly build successful independent software businesses, and you'll need that time. It can take a while.

As others have said, you can always go back to working full time (maybe with another job and maybe even a pay rise). You can further mitigate risk by setting some sort of arbitrary deadline, such as "I'll do this for 1 year and stop only if I haven't made more traction".

Parting thoughts:

I wish you the best of luck. If you haven't already, it seems like you'd enjoy and benefit from Pieter Levels book at https://readmake.com.
Yeah, the reddit post is worth a read. Yes, they did exploit the banks notification, but the rest of the scam seems pretty normal. Why would the bank need to move your funds? They could just block the account I would assume.

And the whole "tell me all of your credit card details except the first 4 numbers that only identifies your bank"-thing should immediately scream scam.
On one hand, this is epic. Well done.

On the other... hell no.
Separate work and free time.

I have no interactions with coworkers outside of work. I don't take work phone outside work. I turn it off during vacations.

I spend too much time working, but take time off as soon as its possible. I only get paid for 37 h per week so this is what I'm working. This means a day off once in a while or a short vacation if I have many "flex" hours (I don't know if this is a Danish thing or not).

I worki from home as much as possible. I like my working environment free of people talking on the phone or background noise. The coffee and lunch offerings are better too at home.

The commute time is also a time I could be working instead of driving..

I have small kids so this means that I'm on call constantly. This is the cause of most of the stress.
I would like that sort of service but often am unable to find it. Do you have any suggestions? Perhaps you just have particularly good local shops?
With a mortgage, the house itself is the collateral.

In this case, the profits on the shares "aren't realised until you sell them", so it's not real profits, but somehow you can use them as collateral to get a loan and grow your total wealth - without spending a penny or even having to get a job. In that case, I think if you're using shares as collateral, the profits on those shares should be taxable.

And if every C project takes this same philosophy to poor documentation, how exactly is a new person learning C supposed to build that common sense?

Rapidus US chief: AI chip crunch, supply chain paranoia make for ideal climate
There are dozens and dozens of J1772 chargers on Amazon with varying price points, and you can easily find 30A capable chargers that offers a 20-30 foot cable for $150.

I don't know if they're skimping on the wire thickness, but frankly I doubt it. Tesla can offer their UMC for $250, and that's a branded product from a car manufacturer and is also capable of handling 32A charging all day.
Nope, editions cover that use case nicely: Rust breaks things every three years -- without breaking existing code.

Basically you have to opt in your project to the new normal. All your projects dependencies can opt in, too, whenever they want to make the jump. Nobody has to opt in though.

Maybe C++ can do something similar eventually once modules are used everywhere. Those have a much cleaner separation of code between individual project parts than you can have with headers.

The article touches on why geofencing is hard, and mentions the Russia situation. Both sides in the Ukraine War are using "irregular" Starlink dishes.

* Russia is reportedly buying dishes (and the service attached to the dishes) in the Middle East.

* Ukraine has its own fleet of dishes (being paid for by the US, after Musk initially provided free service early in the war after a Ukrainian request), but also many individual dishes that were donated, and being paid for, by private individuals outside Ukraine.

US law prohibits Russia from using Starlink. The problem is, how to stop Russia from doing so? A simple location-based ban won't work, because the front line is constantly shifting. Whitelisting only Ukraine's own dishes to work within Ukrainian territory might work, but 1) what about dishes that get captured by Russia? 2) As noted, what about all the privately paid-for dishes?

Another way to think about this is that this demonstrates just how lifesaving for Ukraine Starlink has become in the past two years. Ukraine could ask Starlink to disable all dishes within its territory; while not perfect, it would likely take out the bulk of Russian dishes. Ukraine has decided that the benefits of Starlink to Ukrainians outweighs Russians also benefiting from it.

You may not be aware that it's a false friend. The German word Billion exists, and it means trillion.

So the German reader will read the English article (in English, not auto-translated), see the word billion, think “oh that looks familiar” and might assume it means the same as the German word Billion.

Machine translation makes quite a few mistakes, so I think if you have some decent knowledge of a language, you might be better off reading the original rather than a machine translation. At least my point of view from a couple of years ago. But it's also possible that machine translation has gotten WAY better in the last couple of years, I'm not sure.
IIRC ABL’s specific goal is that you can pack an entire launch setup into a shipping container and set one up anywhere in the world.
