> Having had two kids in the age where they needed large car seats, trucks are no help at all and even fairly decent sized SUVs don't handle more than two well.

Nonsense. They don't fit your seats maybe, but that's not the same as it not being possible. 15 seconds of Googling finds tons of lists with car seats that'll fit 3 across, including tests for a Honda Civic. Some on the list include convertible ones that'll work up to 120lbs.

Bigger SUVs might be more convenient, especially when loading and unloading, but the idea that you can't fit three car seats into a larger vehicle is simply not grounded in reality.

> Young children don't necessarily have a big impact on housing costs (they can share some easily), often because of the structure of health insurance costs don't have much impact on healthcare costs after the first, and education costs are largely deferred if you aren't going private/homeschool. Day care costs / career impacts are probably more significant than any of those given the frequency of two-working-parent families, but car transportation logistics are quite palpable.

My understanding, at least from people I know with 3 or more children, is that daycare and career costs dominate, depending on your location. All my colleagues had to decide between paying out the nose for city daycare, punching an even longer gap in someone's career (obviously reducing earnings), or simply not having a third.

Well, except for that one colleague who had five. According to him logistics got very expensive very quickly. Even "cheap" flights for a family of seven hits the $1K mark very quickly.
You also only need to jump away from Qt once, if that doesn't work for you for whatever reason. If the toolkit is open source, and your "homework" doesn't include looking into the contribution process and how it goes working with upstream, then I would say you are doing yourself a disservice considering how this is the most critical dependency that a GUI application has. That gets more important the more your project gets invested in the toolkit, doubly so if you aren't paying for support. (Essentially that means you're supporting it yourself or relying on flaky advice from IRC and stack overflow, all the usual caveats apply there. Ignoring upstream and refusing to talk to them or collaborate is really not going to help you in that case)

Google Fi is misleading customers about 5G on iPhone
Long time PC gamer, DK1, DK2, CV1, Index, Quest 1, and Quest 2 owner here.

I understand where you're coming from, but I disagree.

When I first got into VR back in 2013 it was cool for a minute, then the novelty wore off. I dabbled with it over the years, but it never stuck. I felt like you do.

2016 the CV1 came out and I was briefly reunited with a strong interest in VR which, eventually, faded. The next few years I didn't play much, and when I did, it wasn't for very long.

The problem was entirely CONTENT and it is FINALLY in 2020 starting to come around.

We have seen some absolutely excellent AAA games released that are loads of fun and not just glorified tech demos (though to be sure, those still exist).

- POPULATION:ONE

- Metal of Honor: Above and Beyond

- Half Life: Alyx

- Asgard's Wrath

Any many more. I'm finally finding myself using my VR headsets DAILY. In fact my Oculus CV1 which came out 4 years ago is still my all around favorite!

I think as content improves (especially multiplayer content) and the headsets get more comfortable and easy to put on / take off, we will hopefully see continued expansion of this medium. It's THE way to game, if you ask me. Nothing is more engaging then jumping off a building, spreading my arms to fly, then pulling them together to grip my gun and land a quick snipe on someone in mid air. Keyboard and mouse can suck it.
Same here - wife and I do the same thing. I will say that I would prefer not to but it *normally isn’t enough friction to stop it. To the commentators point it does add friction though.
I have a turbo'd rotary engine in a mostly-unmodified car that's at 140k miles without an engine rebuild.

I've had to replace numerous things under the hood due to the heat output though (wiring harness, everything rubber) or otherwise poorly designed (the weak alternators...).

If you discount design flaws in the early RX-8s wrt lubrication, turbo timing issues in the FDs, the oil metering pumps in FCs & FDs, the engines are pretty solid.
Almost all of the blown engines I've seen start wth people trying to increase boost.

The problem is that you can modify the car little by little and every way you do this puts stress on the engine. You have to modify the car a lot (fuel pump, injectors, engine porting, turbo wastegate modification, new exhaust, bigger alternator, ecu chipping/megasquirt, cooling upgrades) before the car can really handle the new power that it has without tearing itself apart.
_Implementing_ a variadic function in rust requires nightly. I'm guessing that's what they meant. Calling one has been available for forever.
Yes it's true it's larger than books and movies, but games in the end just compete with other forms of media for customers' entertainment dollars.

Unless we can come up with a use case for VR beyond gaming and fulfilling escapist fantasies. It will likely just be another contender for entertainment dollars.

Smartphones on the other hand essentially made it possible to do anything a general desktop pc could do for people on the go without having to be tethered to a chair infront of a desk. Phones can be used for payment, notetaking, etc. There are people who use smartphones and don't play games at all.

Openings easily start to matter at 1400-1500. A '1700' player can usually overcome not knowing the opening lines with better tactical ability against players under 1600 or so, but it's not guaranteed. It's a rather antiquated idea that openings are reserved only for players over a certain level, especially these days given the immense amount of tools and training available to new players.

At the very least, all players need an understanding of opening fundamentals.
You are missapplying the term. 'workplace surveillance' is continous surveilance by your boss / employer.

I think the HN crowd has forgotten that the entire legal system uses PDFs, and in addition uses the redaction features of the likes of Adobe Acrobat, as well as others trying to squeeze in like FoxIT.

Redaction is huge in governments that have gone digital. Gone are the days where you print the paper, black it out, and then photocopy it.

I have worked with PDFs for a long time, and if you ever wanted compatibility, you had to use Adobe Pro, since there were so many bad PDFs with weird embedded stuff that only Adobe could read properly...because it was initially created in Adobe sigh

All other products try to catch up, but they can't clean up the mess that Adobe has left behind.
Games cost a lot more than music and movies. $50, $60, $70 per game...

Gamers like to pay for collectables, DLC, limited editions, figurines, steam sales for games they don't play, etc.

Meanwhile unlimited music streaming is $9/mo. (Are concerts and merch considered in the "industry" revenues?)

Unlimited steaming on Netflix is $13.99/mo for their mid-tier plan.

If games had an "unlimited streaming" subscription equivalent, the industry's revenue would be much smaller.

Microsoft removed SolarWinds' certificates (since the attackers compromised their build servers), Windows Defender is quarantining the malware, and they were able to take possession over the domain that the malware authors were using to issue commands.

Those are all positive actions, and the OS certificate store and antivirus actions are security responses I would expect out of those respective products, but the article uses... unnecessarily flowery language to describe Microsoft as the savior of the software universe: (emphasis mine)

> This week Microsoft took a series of dramatic steps against the recent SolarWinds supply chain attack.

> The speed, scope and scale of Microsoft’s response were unprecedented

> Through four steps over four days, Microsoft flexed the muscle of its legal team and its control of the Windows operating system to nearly obliterate the actions of some of the most sophisticated offensive hackers out there.

I guess I don't know much about Geek Wire but the article seems a little over the top.

>Ditching Rust as a core component of the future of Firefox is also a demonstration that Mozilla isn't a tech focused corp anymore. Rust is going to yield a lot of result when it comes to security, memory saftely and maintainability and firing Rust devs was terribly short sighted.

Ugh, this is nonsense. Mozilla has not "ditched Rust as a core component of a tech focused corp". Mozilla has ditched the idea of developing entire components of Firefox in a silo for 5-8 years, and then spending 3 years trying to integrate that component back into the browser, the entire time trying to keep both components maintained and up-to-date with ridiculously fast changing web standards.

They want to continue using Rust, but it will be done more piecemeal and in-place, rather than trying to keep two entirely separate browser engines maintained and standards-compliant for the next 5+ years.

The claims in a lawsuit aren't doing their jobs if they don't seem damning.

Presuming the outcome of a lawsuit from the fact that it was filed may be ill-advised.
Worst case is might have to also manually replace a few "release" and "logos" packages (which is what's involved now for switching from RHEL to CentOS or OracleLinux)...

More likely there'll be a simple script to swap from CentOS (or RHEL) to Rocky.. Or they could have a "rocky-release" package with `Obsoletes: centos-release, redhat-release` and a `yum install https://rockylinux.org/rocky-release-8.2-1.noarch.rpm ; yum upgrade` is all that'd be required to swap...

TL;DR: should be very easy, but there's minor variations in methods that I doubt are finalized.

> The Sherman Antitrust Act wasn’t intended to protect corporations from being out competed

But that's entirely different from what is at issue in the advertising market.
In practice, no, it's more nuanced than that. Any mailing list operated through any remotely legitimate ESP will require subscriptions to be confirmed/acknowledged up front before any delivery is attempted to a recipient. If the confirmation step fails, i.e. the "check your email and click a link to verify you really signed up" email bounces, or nobody ever clicks the link, the list owner isn't generally going to be penalized for that.

If you want revenge for modal popups, your best bet is to create a bunch of throwaway email accounts, subscribe to the mailing list from them, and start reporting the individual messages as spam when they arrive. Flag them as junk at the mailbox provider (Gmail, Outlook, etc.) and use the links in the List-Unsubscribe headers to flag them at the ESP's end, too.
This is not correct. If you watch the video, it clearly shows separate intake, compression, expansion, and exhaust strokes in each lobe.

Disclaimer: My kids are 10 and 12, and so don't need constant attention, and they've always slept quite well.

Set aside 30 minutes to lie in bed and read before going to sleep. This also feels as if it has the effect of helping me to get to sleep faster.

This is my target, which I only reach occasionally. The hardest part is consciously de-prioritising whatever it is I'm doing at 30-minutes to sleep time.
I don't see it as unfairness, college mostly gatekeeper business and academia and raw brainpower isn't what you should be selecting for. At least not in isolation.

Yeah, macOS does not touch files in Pictures or Music, only files that you've explicitly imported into the Photos or Music/iTunes apps. And it definitely doesn't silently delete photos from iCloud, if that was common it would be a major bug that would make the news.

I've worked at a startup in the past where the design team requested we put artificial delays / fake progress bars in. I told the design team that 1) Its just bad design / hostile to our users, and 2) that I'd quit before I'd build it for them.

It's a hill I'd be happy to die on. I feel like 6/10 engineers wouldn't care to have that fight, let alone risk their job over it. I'm lucky to be in a position that I am even able to. So many are not. Yet another example for the banality of evil.
Antitrust does not discriminate against a single company. If Apple is in violation of antitrust regulations either today or at some point in the future, regardless of how they got there, they would be subject to the same legal action. So no, theoretically speaking and practically speaking, this is not a risk.

>Honestly, if they're not going to embrace Rust and Servo becomes completely usable I may just jump ship eventually. My hope for Servo is that it becomes 100% Rust as much as sustainably possible (I understand for codecs and some things recreating them in Rust might be overkill when there's standardized libraries just use them), even the JS engine.

Have you ever compiled and run servo? I have. It's really cool but nowhere remotely close to being ready for a full production browser.

Mozilla are embracing Rust, they are just no longer interested in the idea of developing
entire components of Firefox in a silo, maintaining both at once during the entire process, and then spending multiple years trying to integrate it back into the browser.

Back when the Servo team was let go, what they basically said is that moving forwards things will be done more piecemeal and in-place, rather than hundreds of thousands of LoC at a time.
The automation of opera singers came earlier than expected
So funnily enough, my bachelor's was in mechanical engineering and I'm currently pursuing a master's in computer science after having worked in industry for a few years. While I think I agree with your point, I'm going to nitpick on your analogy.

A mechanical engineer will probably not be called upon to operate any particular mechanical device. They will be called upon to either design or maintain it, both of which will require substantial mechanical engineering knowledge. Operation is a totally different thing for a totally different group of people. Think of the difference between a frontend developer and someone who might use wordpress or wix.

Having said that, you hear the same complaint from mechanical engineers as you might be seeing on any hackernews thread about interviews and hiring - no one ever uses the academic knowledge in real life. And this is true, I've never had to use a Bode plot or whip out a stress-strain curve. But I've had to work with technicians and while several are very intelligent and capable, there was a noticeable lack of refinement in their thought process or lack of breadth. I suspect it's the same thing with programming jobs (although I haven't had one yet, so feel free to call me out on it). Knowing CS will help give context that allows for a more refined programming acumen. Is it necessary? Probably not. In my engineering case, both technicians and I did our jobs equally well, although I often had more responsibility. But if your brand is to have culture of incredibly deep thinkers, you probably want to interview for this quality.
