Not claiming it's not true, but according to the article, the author is "president of Let Grow, a nonprofit promoting childhood independence and resilience, and founder of the Free-Range Kids movement". So could the story hav

What a great story! I remember also "hand running" programs at times. While the Dec 77 issue of Byte[0] had Star Trek on the cover it didn't contain a BASIC listing. Could it have been either the May/June 1975 issue of C

I'm not familiar with ARM64. What about it makes it hard to write assembly in it? Is this also true of ARM32 or RISC-V?

Sounds like a wonderful college experience. SPARCs are nice... I was a little before that, our assembly language course was 68000, which was a nice step up from 6502 I was familiar with. But I do love RISCs. I am curious what were the main

It is. So my advice is to build something that is interesting, and might have some value, and don't worry about it being financially viable. Then get it out there, iterate, pivot, learn and eventually you may find viability. My point i

I mean have everything I have but using a different email address, a GMail one. Your solution doesn't solve moving purchases from the Play store over nor any shared photo albums, etc.

Right, there is NO option to pay to increase storage for a single user. I have to start paying $6/user/month for EVERY user to increase from 15GB to just 30GB. A regular GMail account can increase to 200GB for $3/month.

I'm not complaining, I just want a way to migrate off the (originally) promised "free for families" GMail For Domains to a regular GMail account. That's all. Or at least ALLOW me to PAY for increased storage. I don'

How is a link to a 404 error on the front page of Hacker News? Do people upvote without actually clicking the link?

I believe it was done by projection onto a wall or screen, for example through a pinhole projection, rather than looking through a lens directly.

Hey, just a note that the YouTube links are the same, which I don't think you intended.

Perhaps a more important question is when do you know to pull the plug? At what point do you stop investing resources into the project?

I haven't heard "Borland's OWL framework" in over 20 years. Wow, that brought a flood of memories and nostalgia back. I used Borland products starting with Turbo Pascal back in the 1988-1992 time frame before switching t

Right, even VCs don't know the answers. But the difference between a VC and a founder is that a VC invests in 100 companies not knowing which will succeed, but a founder only is investing in one.

Your employer is the best source of seed funding for a solo founder venture. In other words, use your steady income from a job and turn your software business ideas into hobbies. If one takes off, great, if not, you have a hobby. As others

That would be a great solution. I would imagine many "legacy free" users are old GMail for Domains users who just want the same Google One functionality of @gmail.com addresses but with a custom domain.

An Olympic swimming pool is 50m x 25m at a depth of 2m, so an area of 1250 square meters. The continental US is 8,080,464,252,719 square meters, so it would take 6,464,371,402 Olympic swimming pools to cover the continental US. Stacking Oly
