I love Letchworth, we did a scout weekend there every year. It's a beautiful park.

Manifest Destiny is pretty much that. The US fought Mexico, Spain, and British Canada, exploited the political situation in Europe to buy a huge chunk of land from France, and displaced or killed hundreds of thousands of native people. The US is the 4th largest country by area. Having that much contiguous land is insanely valuable and powerful. By the time the US would have even had to think about colonizing like the Europeans it was going out of style.

VOY 3x8,3x9,3x10,3x11, and 3x12. I haven't seen Voyager since it originally aired and my partner has never seen it. This is a really interesting point in the series for me.

The good: the doctor gets the mobile emitter. This is the first really big change in the show structure and more doctor is always better. Plus, Future's End (3x8 and 3x9) is a really fun 2-parter with great guests.

The bad: the lack of character or circumstance development really starts to drag by this point. I know there's the big shakeup at the end of season 3 and I'm extremely ready for it. Warlord (3x10) tries to be a big Kes episode to circle back to her psychic powers but like everything it goes nowhere. Not to mention I know her story goes nowhere so it's hard to be excited about anything she does.

0.35% is a little high for an expense ratio, especially for a product that has basically followed the S&P500 for the last 10 years. I'm no expert, but there are lower fee etfs from Vanguard that perform basically the same.

You have way too high a percent of your portfolio in individual stocks. Focus on low fee etfs, ideally ones that track whole or at least broad market segments.

I would suggest getting a raspberry pi zero or zero 2 and using CircuitPython or MicroPython. Adafruit has some really great documentation.

A normal Raspberry Pi (1,2,3,4,5 A/B) is actually a full PC and not a microcontroller. They run ARM chips just like your cell phone. The only special thing about them is they expose some I/O pins. Otherwise you program on them just like a normal linux PC.

Arduino and the Raspberry Pi Zero are true microcontrollers. They don't have operating systems and only run the code you load onto them. At this point you would choose Arduino if you want to use Arduino C and the extensive library of modules available, and you would choose a Pi Zero if you want to use Circuit or Micro Python. There are other hobby grade microcontrollers and other pros and cons but I think at the beginner level that's the core distinction.

MicroPython is a from-scratch re-implementation of the python interpreter for microcontrollers. CircuitPython is a fork made by Adafruit designed to be a little easier for students.

In general, if you come to the correct number nothing will happen. You are technically committing perjury if you knowingly put incorrect information on a tax form, so I would avoid doing that to make a point. Do you have any specific examples of form fields you feel are overly intrusive?

Some ok takes here and some weird ones. I understand this is supposed to be a simply written article but I think "clean" and "messy" are way too reductive in this type of discussion without more context.

While I do think many good developers are passionate, it does not take passion to adhere to good practices. I don't expect a bridge designer to be passionate about bridges, I expect them to follow best practices and a good bridge will follow.

Accurate estimates are only possible when tasks are well defined and well scoped. A bad developer will still give you an estimate on a nebulous task, a good developer will tell you there needs to be more investigation.

All code will have bugs, a good developer isn't someone who never makes bugs. This is why testable code is important.

Yeah, I was shocked to see it pop up in my mastodon feed this morning. After denying several FOIA requests I figured they'd keep it buried out of spite.
