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.

From the linked discussion it looks like there's a new feature rolling out where mods can activate "automatic ban evasion protection" during a ban. Mods don't get given any additional info about the user but it gets set up automatically on the back end.

Their current app uses a cross platform framework that allowed them to write their app once and then publish to both iOS and Android. That system is no longer well supported and was causing them issues implementing passkeys on mobile. They've been working on rewriting the app individually for each platform using the platform's specific language. That's generally Java on Android and Swift on iOS. It's more work, but ideally the apps should be more responsive, better follow each platforms style guidelines, and have access to all features on the platform.

If you had read the very short blog post you would have learned that they wanted to merge in some GPL licensed code contributions. This sort of behavior is exactly what the GPL copyleft language is intended to encourage.

All source files have individual comment headers with the original authors and license identifier. It's not the full license text but I do believe that style is compliant.
