Similarly, you can group prior generations’ rockstar, movie star, and unicorn startup founder into this category of “rare and successful” people doing the hip thing.

I heard from n Planet Money story that 1 in 4 gen-z-ers want to be an influencer because they want to receive free products or play videos games and get paid. Which is great but the thing they don’t realize is they would be running a busine

I stayed the night on the USS Hornet either for a field trip of some sorts during the late 90s. Really neat place, if you’d never been on (or seen) an aircraft carrier, I would encourage anyone to check it out as it’s a docked museum open t

Which is much more reasonable and, more importantly, actionable. Even if no code is shared and it’s just a rough train of though of how the asker is approaching the problem, that’s enough to infer both intent and what solving this problem m

Given that initially defining your db schema is a one-time thing and we generally don’t change it very often after, I can’t fully get behind what the article suggests. However, the one thing I tend to do is add a text or json field called “

Being alarmist and pedantic about specific language of legal text is precisely what is needed to point out flaws. The only thing more terrifying than a governing body making laws about things they fundamentally do not understand is having t

Great Scott has a fantastic channel and does a lot to explain the theory in a practical way. Check out his electronics basics videos first if you need a refresher but he does a lot of designs from scratch that are very insightful. https:&#

The Hayes AT command set is still the primary way to talk to embedded modems. I would argue quite a few people outside of HN care about it to this day while very few people outside of HN know or would care about the AT Protocol.

I work in IoT and write firmware, among other things, that talk to modems. I got really excited to explore a good, in-depth analysis of why the Hayes AT command set is terrible (because it objectively is), instead, we were treated to compla

My partner is a game designer and works mainly in Unreal Engine. I was blown away by the power of the visual scripting languages, being able to write complicated procedures with dragging and dropping blocks. Despite not having prior program

I have not been able to jump on the TS train. For the longest time, it has just not quite felt right. Adding layers upon layers of complexity for a static type system and some related syntactic sugar, all while guaranteeing that it remains

I have an issue with the way this piece is written. It both acknowledges and ignores the fact that we don’t have the infrastructure right now to do much about the excess water we have by constantly asking the question, “why doesn’t Californ

Two ballot measures instead of one is a good step, but it also imposes a step that incumbent ISPs must face to get back to the status quo prior to this law.

I think the priority at the federal level is still in at least maintaining a facade of banking system stability. It’s very rare that the bank not only becomes insolvent but also loses all its value. Risky investments to a bank are not reall

Money market accounts use the same vehicle (treasuries) and still manage to be ostensibly safer than smaller banks at the moment. These funds manage their investments by continuously buying new bonds and selling off old thus limiting the ri

I don’t think “offended” is a fair assessment of how people react to these types of filler words. I think we tend to forget, especially after reading and writing computer languages, that our human languages are meant to be read and understo

As someone who learned German as a second language (so take this with a pinch of salt and feel free that I did this wrong/bad), I found older German works useful for the purpose of understanding sentence structure and grammatical case.

From a site owner’s perspective, it also makes me question the quality of leads if someone is just going to use a disposable or one-time email just to get results, not to mention the bounce rate after the initial engagement. From a user per

Having worked with many people who have used bands for a short time they were not authorized to and never ended up on the FCC shitlist, I would be okay with a very low power, temporary setup to play with/test something in the GAA band

I’m a little disappointed that the parts list went like this: - Core i5 computer ($100-$250) - Smart Card reader/writer ($18 for the HID one they used) - optional 10mhz GPS receiver ($10-$20) - sysmoUSIM-SJS1 (writable SIM card, $1-$3

What if I told you that both can be true at the same time? A free market is one of the only vehicles that has allowed people to be lifted out of poverty, self determination and the freedom to decide one’s own destiny is a very profound idea

At least I would have a reasonable assumption of breathable air, a fresh water source, flora and fauna I can gather and hunt to eat, and likely arable land that I can use to grow additional food sources from. Space and planets we can visit
