I was looking for something that was a red flag in here, and could not find one. The only thing I could find is that the solar business is not doing well and that is just a drop in the bucket at this point in terms of revenue, its not even

Let me just warn you- running a webserver requires technical skill- you will be providing an open door into your computer and network if you go down this path. But its not so hard if you google each of those sections, at least to get someth

If I was talking to my mom sure. But were talking on HN here, clicking around your routers web UI shouldn't be too difficult for anyone here to figure out. And honestly if you can't figure that out you shouldn't be exposing y

Is it really that obscure these days? 1. Have a computer in your house open exposed to the internet on port 80- port forward on your router. 2. Run an http server on that box. Apache is a reasonable choice but there are probably easier piec

Just an anecdote- but the wife and I when we go to Europe eat well and post lots of pictures and such and people make jokes like- how much weight did you put on while you were away? And most of the time we actually come home down 2-3 pounds

Room and board is entirely separate from tuition though. That said, when I was leaving college in 2002 it was essentially a giant construction zone as they were building facilities all over the place. This was not unique- there was somethin

The original guidance IIRC is to both wear masks and maintain social distance. My interpretation of this was that if you are wearing a mask, not only are you filtering the air you take in, but also out, and even with a cloth mask, you are a

You are confusing ideas, unless I am misunderstanding you. Any ISO's pre-ipo will have some strike price, that is typically rooted in some valuation- the valuation per share is really just a function of the number of shares outstanding

I am not too familiar with the current day sets, but around the early 2000s they started pushing the branded movie tie in sets really hard and I do remember seeing sets where a "piece" was essentially half a tie fighter wing and

I think a lot of it has to do with the sheer friction of paying. In a corporate context it's going to be a days long battle, at best to get a new piece of software approved- just from an expense pov- we aren't even talking the I

Historically, car values underwent significant depreciation over time and loans that went delinquent were for vehicles that were "underwater"- their value was less than the loan. Its pretty much unprecedented for the value of a ve

The rebates are more directly intended to spur an EV auto industry, preferably dominated globally by US auto makers though? And I think you could argue that they did a pretty good job of this- at the very least they seem to have fast forwar

I felt that to be true as I had never heard of it, and by the mid 80s if there was one PC everyone was talking about, it was the Commodore 64. Even years later when I got on the internet and tried to figure out what exactly it was that I le

The TI-99/4A was an early 16 bit PC from the very early 80s, it was not part of the calculator line. The naming is very similar though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Instruments_TI-99/4A Its relatively

I can't speak for architects, but there is a very high bar for licensing for them. For lawyers, I had a friend at a top tier firm that interviewed with another and had to do a full doc review- essentially doing several hours of actual

Thanks. Its comments like the GPs that makes me wonder how I have avoided learning some very commonplace issue and its these types of comments that foment imposter syndrome. I have even read books on linux architecture and remember discussi

My first linux install was Redhat 5.2 bought at a bookstore in ~1997. I have not always been a primary linux user, but I have been using it in some capacity for over 20 years now- though as a means to an end primarily- in the bad old days I

We may have had the same interviewer- tbh I thought this was pretty reasonable and more of a warm up really. I think this also lead to a discussion on some questionable logic and how you could improve the code. I had 10+ years experience in

I am absolutely stunned that people think that source control only came around recently in this thread. CVS came out in 1990, RCS... 1982, SCCS... 1972. Visual Source Safe was commonplace in the 1990s, as terrible as it was. There may have

So it seems I accidentally nuked my Macbook pro two nights ago after my dog spilled a glass of water on my nightstand and splashed some onto MBP- I thought it was an indirect hit, but the next morning I plugged it in and appeared to have sh

Profit sharing is just asking to get screwed really. Its way too easy to manipulate accounting to show a profit loss. One way quick and easy way to eliminate that possibility is to have your partner pay himself a salary + bonus that eats u

I did some undergraduate research on this around 1999. At the time we were trying to prove that we could throw more firepower at the problem by building a beowulf cluster to solve the problem. After a bit of tweaking, we were able to get mo

Yeah I think this is way overblown- The way to approach this is "Well typically MVC is presented as such and people think its represented in typical architectures as blah blah blah, but from an actual theory perspective what actually h

I just posted something very similar, and was surprised to see there were not more comments along this line. My family isn't red, but just in general dealing with them is kind of exhausting. The extended is fine to spend time with, but

I am surprised to hear there is no mention of children who just don't like what their parents have become. My mother did a good job raising me, even if it was very heavy on the "I am your mother not your friend" philosophy an

Agreed- I learned to cook at first by just doing some recipes, and also just making some basic dishes like pasta with sauce (from a jar) but then jazzing it up by adding additional freshly chopped garlic, or oregano, basil, whatever. If you

Do you have actual production experience with RedPanda? If so I would love to hear about it- we found out that there is something of a wall of 10k partitions per broker before things start failing/under replicating without warning or a

I graduated in 2002. My peers had been boasting about how we wouldn't even entertain offers below $75k when we graduated in 2000. There was the general .com bust, but I was also literally working on my resume the morning of 9/11 w

Why not just collect the salt, and sell it as... salt? Even if its not ok for cooking, it should be fine for roads? I am sure there are other industrial uses for salt.
