I wanted Scala to be my "better Java" for a long time, mainly because it seemed to have plentiful headroom as I seek to learn more. The community enthusiasm was also contagious. But: 1) the ecosystem makes it seems like I need to

Correcting myself in case anyone reads this: that seems to have been true in the past but they are moving investing to charles schwab and victory capital (separate companies). So long-term I wish I knew if that is nearly as good as not in

For insurance and banking I think, but not for investing and maybe some other services, it seems.

Even if it doesn't, we can be OK. What I wrote about climate change applies to other disastrous things. It helps me more than I can easily say. http://lukecall.net/e-9223372036854581820.html (a simple site)

Looks like there are ~40 bachelors degree programs including in tech, business, family something, and professional something. The WGU (wgu.edu) mentioned elsewhere here is also probably very good.

One excellent option is BYU Pathway Worldwide and associated programs. It requires a Church affiliation but not necessarily membership (I think) or the same standards for on-campus BYU attendance. I think tuition is lower, bachelors progr

Could another stage (or dimension or set of sub-stages on the stages when people start using the tool) be to determine a sustainable business model, maybe ranging from "I will just work on it as I have time, because I like it", to

I have spent a lot of time thinking and writing about exactly this, for some years (edit: it is all free, and skimmable, I hope). My web site (simple tech, lots of content, no cookies or javascript, no tracking besides whatever my ISP logs

In tandem with my other comments elsewhere on this page, I suggest a scenario 0: Use Dave Ramsey's advice (or other similar), and among other preparations have a sufficient savings account (and avoid debt and keep your costs low) so t

If states want to try this kind of thing, I am supportive, because they can learn from each other as laboratories of democracy. But the US federal government is the wrong organization to attempt it. Having them do it causes a loss of the

My honest answer: We can have peace by learning God's will for ourselves, doing it, and trusting Him. Some think this is silly, but I have learned for myself, so I no longer have to ask others to determine my views on this. You can

I have found it useful to survey the existing unix utilities (maybe every several years). I'm no genius but I find things I will use. One way of course is simply to review the names in wherever your system stores manual pages, and re

Good point. To help make such decisions, maybe one could also try to gauge the overall level of honesty, competence, and responsibility (edit: and strength given trends) of the sponsoring entity. (I have been in USD and varied bonds rathe

For some purposes, I wonder if OpenBSD would also be a strong candidate for learning about operating systems, given their focus on correctness, openness, portability, etc., and the fact that everything learned then becomes useful on a fully

With everything going on, it is more important than ever to have purpose and direction in life. For one thing, it lets one freely & more peacefully ignore many things in popular culture, because they are irrelevant or unhelpful, and fo

It is hard to disagree with Mr. Stallman on this. But while it seems to make sense to protect privacy, whistleblowers, etc. ( http://lukecall.net/e-9223372036854639582.html ), doing what we can, it is not clear to me that th

Either way, the seemingly (and prospective) increased actual production is what impresses me, as an illustration of a private-sector solution.

No, it looks from the wikipedia page like they have contracted with producers so they are causing new production. Also planning to add their own capacity. Edit: adding the wkp quote: "By the end of 2019 Civica had 18 medications (28

Agreed. I noted elsewhere here about Civica Rx, a nonprofit seeking to help things. ( https://duckduckgo.com/?q=civica+rx&ia=web https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civica_Rx ).

A better way would be to privately support and further nonprofit efforts to compete, such as Civica Rx ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civica_Rx https://duckduckgo.com/?q=civica+rx&ia=web ).

I think it means, like the article suggests, sticking with supported versions of OpenBSD, which is the latest one and one just prior (like, until about April, 6.6 and 6.5).

I've never been much of a TV person, since growing up doing mostly other things, and haven't wanted to agree to the ToS of any of the paid services. But sometimes it is helpful to do something that doesn't require much though
