Does it matter? I think it is important to have some means of supporting a family, but that might not involve the educational path that has become our standard for the past 30 years. It only takes one good income, and paid child care is usu

It's not remarkable. I simply made them, with one wife, in the traditional way. In case you were asking about how I afford them: I have a BS degree in computer science from UMass Lowell. I started the family, married, moved into a plac

You don't even know if you'd want multiple children. I'll be having my 12th kid soon. That simply doesn't happen if you wait. At the start, I had no idea that I'd want so many kids. To allow for this possibility, yo

I use it all the time at work. Along with Mattermost (yuck) it is a solution that works on a secured network. If your computer can reach something like Slack, your computer is exposed. At home I recently used it to chat with open source dev

I might have one like that, unless you mean the non-verbal type. He has to go soon, probably age 20 at the end of summer. He did just barely manage an AA degree, so perhaps he is better off than yours. He is sometimes wildly inappropriate.

I was charged more than that for a public university in the 1990s. In a few years I paid for that, my wife's similar loans, and a new car. I also got married and had my first two kids. So it looks cheap to me, assuming the housing isn&

There are different kinds of loneliness. I suppose the worst is when all apply. You lack family, you have coworkers, you have random humans in the area, you didn't mention any sort of buddy. So have 2 or 3 out of those 4. I'm bumm

Religion brought us the weekend, and ordinary politics ("vote for me because...") brought us labor rights. Unions brought us dues and a bunch of people standing around waiting for an electrician to plug in a power cord.

It is expected. It isn't required on day 1, and we have kept on some people who couldn't get one. People can be mistaken about what would cause denial, so ask if you are unsure. Things far in the past are often forgiven, at least

I have verified that yes, 30 hours is acceptable where I work. It's been done, along with 32, and possibly shorter. Most of the benefits are pro-rated, but we'd still cover the health insurance fully. You could still work more and

I don't think I have unusual retinal damage. I've had it checked, which is way beyond the normal eye doctor appointment. I've always been an indoors person, very wary of excessive exposure. I'm getting older though, and

If they flood it with powerful LED light, then when you are old you can enjoy the semi-darkness. There is a tremendous difference in light perception as you age. I packed my house with 65 watt LED lights. No, not "65 watt equivalent&qu

I don't see any evidence there that you got the decompiler working, which would be quite a feat. The disassembler, and even graph view, is part of the IDA SDK as you mentioned.

By that standard, there really isn't deterministic execution. You'll always want something that simply must be recorded, such as the current time. A better distinction: deterministic execution is when you rerun the executed instru

I will soon have 12. Perhaps the loss of sanity comes before the kids? It might be a prerequisite. :-) The first kid is a huge impact. The second two each have a modest impact. After that, the food costs slowly climb up but you only really

I could really use a voucher for homeschooling. I've spent a lot on books, calculators, and even paper. (11 kids) I think I spent about $1000 to do chemistry labs. With the voucher I probably would have added a condenser, nickel crucib

I certainly know what you mean about "big family" (have 11 so far) and "just how much effort they volunteered of themselves" and "risking putting their kids back into school and losing a year or two in grades"

I'm about 2.8 miles (4.5 km) off the end of the runway, and about 1000 feet (300 m) off the centerline. Arrivals usually have gear down, while departures usually do not. I saw the An-225 departing. I heard it, felt that the sound wasn&

Pretty much. The demo team requires a runway that is 7,000 by 75 feet. They also demand single-wheel weight bearing of 65,000 pounds, parking spaces that are 75 feet wide, security fencing, and various other junk like hotels and a gym. I&#x

Right, I left the Bay Area as a child. I still have a grandmother and 5 of her 7 children there. Things were more affordable back in 1963. I think it would be possible for a non-beginner Facebook employee willing to live in a 3-bedroom. It&

Usually it isn't. The Goodyear blimp was a weird buzzing noise, not that loud. The Space Shuttle launch was at some distance, otherwise the brutally loud noise would have killed me by ripping my internal organs loose. I had about 30 mi
