I've tried to find people that way, but usually there is nobody. Let's see, searching for "assembly" and "assembler" and "embedded"... 1. I already asked. He wants Rust and probably won't leave A

To be a duplex, it needs to be 2 homes on one property that are touching. It is expected that the wall would be shared and that the two homes would be mirror images of each other. There exist houses that touch each other but are on separate

Causality could go the other way. Consider a rational reaction to being just at the edge of the welfare cliff. If you haven't heard of that, look at the graphs in these two articles: https://danieljmitchell.wordpress.com

It depends what you mean by "bulk". I buy normal packages from a normal supermarket. I try to buy a bit extra when there is a sale, but I only have two refrigerators and a chest freezer. What is "bulk" to most people can

A few comments above I said "I have a dozen kids". With parents, that is 14 people. We cook. I look for sale prices. We eat a lot of chicken, but we also get fish. I count just 3 of you. Scaling up for family size and ignoring the

I get dual-enrollment for free here in Florida, which most of my kids use to get AA degrees, so the state/county is paying something. I spent about $1000 for AP Chemistry labs and possibly about that much on all kinds of textbooks. Exp

Most of this is totally optional. I have a dozen kids, and I'm sure not spending that kind of money per kid. Births are usually cheap. You can go it alone for $0 or get a midwife for $2000 to $6000. Most of us have health insurance wit

You didn't say why, which is fine, but I hope there is something more significant than just "twins" and that there is an actual intent to change treatment based on all that testing. If you wouldn't take specific action b

It's possible, even doing 40-hour weeks in cheap places like east-central Florida. For example, my "Who is hiring?" post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19797601 To get an offer at that level you would

Car ownership is not just a given. Instead of owning a car, you could lease a pick-up truck. That would get you around pretty well, especially if you get one with AWD. Fill the back with cooking gear so you can have food. If you want to be

That all sounds like college, with dorms and a campus shuttle and so on. IMHO, one is expected to grow out of that. The next phase of life awaits. Much later, when you are widowed and you move into an assisted living facility, you can once

You can get the pay increase associated with "cyber" in the name without having to live in the costly DC area. That works for me, supporting 12 kids on a single income. The work-life balance is to be appreciated as well, with 40-h

Hey, we pretty much did hire a rockstar developer, if you'll count industrial metal. He was in a signed band that made it on to MTV2 and MTVX and got nominated for a Billboard Music Award. So rockstar developers exist. This is real. h

You'd commute the same distance, from your east bay empty hill to an east bay downtown. Make it succeed, and make your neighborhood desirable. In case that looks impossible, remember that SF itself was nothing special. It was an indust

Those "desirable metro areas" were not always that way. In 1963, my grandma spent $9000 to have a big house built on some undesirable empty hills that were a good distance from downtown. It's the geographic center of San Fran

Only the discontinued F-117 and the bid-losing YF-23 have better protection against MANPADS than the A-10. Look at the exhaust, which is where the heat comes from. Nearly all MANPADS are infrared guided. The A-10 hides the engine exhaust by

As far as MANPADS are concerned, the A-10 is stealth. Nearly all MANPADS are infrared guided. The A-10 hides the engine exhaust by surrounding it with the aircraft's tail. This is better than the F-35 and F-22, and about as good as the

How do you like biking up hills? There are some with a 40% grade, and many with a 25% grade. Going down is less work, but an opportunity to go flying over the handlebars or skidding out into an intersection. You must keep your bike with you

You might be happy with Mattermost. It's not IRC, and that is reason enough for me to grumble about it. Anything that help to break the addiction of putting trade secrets on internet-connected computers is an improvement over slack.
