Station wagons are still available.[1] Just not from US makers. The Volvo V90 is probably the closest thing to a classic station wagon.

I drove an older Volvo station wagon once. A repair shop had one as a loaner. On any big bump, my head would hit the roof.

I’ve never run into this personally. And I’ve worked in some old ass enterprise type companies. Maybe for high security clearance places this is an issue or something...

I wouldn’t focus on niche places that do this though as an arguing point. It may as well be, “but some chipotle’s don’t offer guacamole. So, ya know, can’t rely on it.” Might be true but sounds rare.

Added to my list for the next time I'm on the phone with my parents, for our (weekly at this point) how-to sessions on "stopping the industry I work in from spying on you". I really, really wish product managers would understand the kind of ecosystem they're building, and the kind of customer blow-back they will enable by optimizing for $$$ under the guise of "making things easier".

Side question: what problem does Amazon thinks this solves? Bad connectivity experiences for Ring users?

Station Wagons are great but sadly unpopular, which makes them harder to buy than they should be. Everyone wants the exact same mid-sized crossover which seems to be the only thing every car manufacturer cares about except Ford, who now only makes 8' tall F-150s. But if you dig around you can still find great station wagons out there with good performance, good handling and a lot of cargo space.
The favicons separate tabs clearly enough for me.
Agreed. It's astonishing, to me at least, that a company that was on the vanguard of both the cloud and big data was so incapable of figuring out a way to make real money off either one. Their sale today, despite the buyer premium, is well below their IPO price.

> Granted, this isn't optional GC, but does D really give you that? Don't you lose the entire ecosystem and stdlib with -asBetterC?

-betterC is not the only way to avoid the GC in D, just the most extreme. The original motivation for -betterC was to ease porting C code to D. Walter has used it for that to port a good bit of his old C code over. But it's also suited for the space in which the blog author is using it, and some people just prefer it. You always have access to the existing C ecosystem, but there are people writing -betterC libraries in the D ecosystem. And as more people use it, I expect that space will grow.

This article (first published in The New Republic) is really great. It contains a lot of detail about Sebald's life and all the things that are often said about him. These kind of articles are supposed to create an appetite for the author and his books. So after reading it, you are hopefully convinced of reading something from the author itself.

But I don't think his life says anything about the quality of his writing. Here on HN I will try to convince you by pointing out that Sebald is writing the most beautiful code. Skip all articles and go read one of his books. For instance The Emigrants. You can read the long articles about his life afterwards.

Yeah, I work with teams that have that as a rule. Pretty clearly it's a best practice in most contexts. (There are some exceptions like a scheduled on-site that someone can't travel to but for most things.) My guess is that a lot of people have noticed that video calls have been working better during the pandemic because of this.

If a very significant other ghosted you it would almost invariably be an emergency. That or an extremely problematic relationship. Parents don't 'ghost' children. I mean, unless there's something very, very wrong already like an abusive relationship etc. etc..

For 'recently dating couples' the issues is that the one couple doesn't want to own up to saying 'no' so they just duck and avoid.

Really? I've looked at France and UK specifically and the requirements on paper seemed really difficult. You basically had to have a letter from the company saying that they couldn't find a EU citizen who could do the work, and even if that's pretty laxly interpreted and IIRC many employers weren't even willing to accept candidates outside of the EU. Perhaps it's changed or I'm misremembering.

I guess that depends on definitions of "pervasive and important" more than it does facts on the ground.

To my eyes, the number of open source drivers (near zero) available for Apple hardware, developed to run on their BSD-licensed kernel, pretty much provides all the evidence I need.

No, a BSD Linux would have long since disappeared behind the curtain of some tech giant or another, just like Mach did into NeXT/Apple.
Oh god, you were not joking. I'm honestly wondering what graphics designers are thinking to come up with a design that _literally will not distinguish neighboring elements from each other_.
It is insanely exclusionary - they also like to take over / own a lot of the parks.

What a lot of the towns will do is post no street parking signs that are weekend only no street parking near all trailheads to any parks. This will be miles of no parking on super wide roads with big pullouts.

It's really pretty funny unless you have to walk the 2 miles to get the the (public) park or trailhead.

So lots of ways of taking the public goods and privatising them up there for sure!
Oh, I am sure they are happier that way. Bad attitude goes both ways.

The logic is that it's not the reason for reopening, nor its success: it will be successful in a few months if there is no next wave, or if it is not as high as some other places where such a thing will not be in place.

The reopening is possible because of previous actions, and its result will only be seen in a few months.
Crypto Gaming and Trading Startup | Multiple Roles | Fully Remote (possible physical offices in Berlin or Lisbon too) | Full Time or Contract

Successful fully bootstrapped crypto trading and gaming company is looking to expand its fully remote-team in the following areas:

- Senior frontend game developer: development of casino-style games to be run both on desktop and mobile browsers in TypeScript using frameworks like or similar to PixiJS, Phaser, or BabylonJS. Experience (and/or portfolio) in indie game development is strongly preferred.

- Generalist graphical and UX designer: design of innovative trading interfaces and gaming experiences. Very broad scope from UX flow designs to slot machine illustrations to game animations to promotional video production. Please submit a portfolio.

- Blockchain developer: development and support of hot/cold wallets and various crypto nodes, BTC lightning node payments, smart contract (Ethereum, Binance, and Tron chains) deposits/withdrawals, double-spend detection and probability estimations, trade execution on UniSwap/PancakeSwap/Serum, development of smart-contracts for on-chain auctions.

Hiring process consists of three steps: preliminary interview, full-scope compensated test project paid in crypto for several days, and then final interviews based on the demo project.

Team has been 100% remote from day one for many years, but is considering opening an office in Berlin or Lisbon later this year, mostly for design-heavy oriented projects.

Compensation package is very flexible and generous and depends heavily on the value a person brings, but we are looking to pay a top rate for the most talented and independent engineers and designers who are self-starters to keep the size of the team and communication overhead as small as possible.

Please send your CV/GitHub/Portfolio/Personal Site/Smart Contract Address to satoshiwei@pm.me , thank you!
I still drive a Volvo wagon. I never understood the SUV craze.
I'm not an expert so below is only my personal take on the matter.

Being private allows for less accountability to people who might not be acquainted with the business, want short-term profits, or do not share the owners long-term vision for the company. All of these allow for more freedom in movements and limit the damages to those who understand the risks. On the other side, the company has more limited pool of liquidity sources and each of the investors might have stronger voice in shareholder meetings.

As a result, the public investor might not share the profits of the business, but it might not incur losses because of it as well. Therefore, private equity is just another business organization model which has its pros and cons.
Okay? But I’ve never been in an office or seen one where they banned bringing in your own equipment. Even in places that had the set menu for different roles. If you had some stuff you wanted to bring in, go for it.
> Since the politicians are so deeply involved in the banking sector,[3] the only real hope of change is that a higher power takes more control.

This is typical of a certain political mindset: too big of a state ain't working, but surely an even bigger state shall work. This time, believe us!

The answer is not "more of what doesn't work". The answer is less.
This may not be the FSF stance, but I can think of 3 reasons.

The main one is it is easier to change the license if you want to.

IANAL so I'll probably mess up these next two, which I believe are more theoretical than anything in regard to software. At least in the US.

It is possible for a copyright holder to revoke a license. so there could be an important contribution living in the code base and then one day the author could revoke the license and they would have to remove the code, and somehow prove their replacement was not infringing.

There is a concept of Joint Authorship. Where it could be possible for a contributor to claim joint copyright over the entire project, and then release it on their own under any license they want. I could be wrong, but I believe it has happened where book editors that didn't have an air tight contract, were able to claim joint copyright over a book they edited, and release their own versions with a different publisher.

IIRC, in the 90's there were several Forth implementations that worked as described and appeared to have been somewhat successful in the embedded market. Those were before my time though.

However, with the amount of RAM/FLASH on modern MCU's you can implement the "compiler" code in Forth. I used a similar scheme for a while during experimental phases, but have moved away as Forth code becomes tedious to modify after you haven't looked at it for a while (e.g. a few weeks). It's just easier to setup OTA firmware updates.
People have been saying this for more than 100 years - see the old popular mechanics articles predicting a 10 hour work week due to automation's production gains, quotes from Buckminster Fuller, references to Kurt Vonnegut's "Player Piano", etc., but instead of coordinating these gains with one another we have left them up for grabs for whoever scrambles harder, and the baseline creeps upward. Just like the economics analogy where some people in a seated audience stand for a better view, requiring everyone to stand for more or less the same view as before but with more effort, only with some American Horatio Alger pull-yourself-up-by your-bootstraps mythology mixed in.

This is not inevitable, it is policy we choose, as opposed to some European countries where workweeks have actually shrunk and retail hours are much more restricted. We have decided much of the gains from automation and better average human health and lifespan should go elsewhere.
The copyright assignment policy dates from very early in GPL history, when it was broadly thought that in order to make copyleft work the FSF was going to have to sue entities that had misappropriated GPL software. Doing that is harder when you start from a position of having to prove that you even own the relevant copyright in the first place.

It turns out this didn't happen. People who want to use free software and to stay legal just... honored the license. People who didn't want to do so used other software. And the only people who actually were breaking the license turned out to be tiny fly-by-night operations in parts of the world where copyright litigation wasn't a very useful tool anyway.
Those are the top-selling authors from 2020; by the only objective criteria, Grisham is the best book length fiction author and Sanderson is fifth. Everything else is subjective, personal opinions.
This is an outrage. 9.5 million people held hostage because of a few maniacs in government.

Individual liberty is truly a precious thing.
That's another thing that a permanent WFH mindset can solve - move. I've been WFH for ~20 years, and can't imagine giving up the freedom I have in selecting a home.

I still live in the Bay Area, but it's a 45min (no traffic) to ~1:45hr (typical) commute to the South Bay. It'd be hard to do this every day, but I don't have to.

As a result, I get to live on huge chunk of land, with an office to call my own, for the same $$ I'd spend on a 4br/3ba 'normal' house in San Jose.

I am not a heavy drinker, but one thing I noticed having moved around to a few places is how much everyone in my age group drinks(30's to mid 40's). I have gotten to know many a neighbor and they are all working professionals like me and I am just shocked that having 8-10 drinks a night seems like it comes standard for a Friday/Saturday night. I thought that it was just one location, but I moved twice in the past 2 years and at each location the same behavior. It seems really unhealthy and is everywhere(CA North and South) and Colorado) which is worrisome.
