Plenty of people have 4k screens on their computers. Even my laptop has one and it wasn't super expensive. I wouldn't go back below 4k for working, but I don't really care much for it when watching movies.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but this sounds legally problematic. Maybe even for the receiving party as they may be violating their contract by accepting the money.

A lot of retired people don't have the energy anymore and have to deal with health problems. Also consider that retired people help out in the family a lot. My grandmother used to cook for us, for example.

After reading the comments here, here's an answer I haven't seen yet.

I'm a software developer. Specifically, I'm a software only developer. I've never built a robust enough skillset working with hardware, be that electronics, microcontroller programming or god forbid, mechanical engineering, to even attempt to solve many important real world problems. There are just not that many problems that can be solved with an app.

Would I love to? Sure. I can buy myself an Arduino, a laser cutter and a 3D printer, but that's still a very long way off from being able to design something that is mass producable and solves a problem. As far as I can tell from my armchair, that would, at the very least, require some background in PCB design, metal working, probably more.

What's worse, I'm the same distance away from being able to do it as a job, no matter how good of a coder I am, so if anything, this would have to be a hobby for a long time. If I went at it, it would take me 5-10 years to build these skills. That's a long time for someone in their late 30s with a family.

If I had the time and resources, here are a few things I would love to do:

- Build an affordable almost dumb phone w. only basic messaging and authenticator functionality. I think the world could do with something that doesn't eat our attention all the time. Terrible business idea though.

- Affordable cooking assistance/robot. I think we needs to get away from meal deliveries for a more sustainable future and it would improve food quality. (Restaurant food around here is not great, especially if you can't consume milk and onions.) I started learning to cook, but there are days that are too hectic to do it. Robots for this exist, but they are clunky and require specialized installation. It's a long shot though.

- Optimized deliveries for the last 500 meters. Delivery trucks often drive around the block producing CO2 for no good reason. I feel like there should be a sidewalk robotic solution that could work out if a truck parked somewhere. Lots of problems to solve here, especially when it comes to tall buildings w. stairs and lifts.

Reflecting on the education part of your post: that's not solvable by technology. School is just as much of a socialization instrument as it is educational. Observing an almost tenager, kids could learn a lot faster if they were allowed to progress at their own pace, but the logistics seem impossibly hard. My wife and I tried to help out in the local school in digital education and we could easily do with double the amount of teachers and classrooms we have. An app can't replace a teacher, and it's not for the lack of trying.

Window recordings are MUCH larger as they record pixel data while Asciinena records bytes on the terminal output.

Be aware that the format is fairly inefficient, if your cron jobs write a lot, the files may become large. You may be better off investing into some good logging instead.

It is not. You have to explicitly use the upload command to share a recording.

You can also roll your own tool, the format is reasonably well documented and simple.

I interviewed with them a few years ago and they reimbursed everything for the on-site. I can't remember if they also offered to pay up front if needed.

Where I live (AT), half of the automakers don't seem to have an EV option at all and those that do have them only in the mid to expensive ranges (40k and up) with a very narrow selection (1-2 models). Add to that that cars seem to have had quite the price hike in the last 10 years (e.g. Suzuki Jimny went from 17k to almost 25k)... Not exactly surprising that they don't sell.

He doesn't speak the language, had a highly recognizable face and is perceived to have money. Sounds like a recipe for a bad time in the rougher places of the world.

What I don't understand from this plan is who's managing asking people for peer reviews? There's mention of peer review curation services, but how will that work?

Not for the most part, it's still very expensive. Even if, they don't simulate mouse movement.

I've seen quite a few bootcamps where the future employer funded the camp for people who finally got a job. Needless to say, these places were set up for maximum efficiency. Sure, a few minor changes can be made, but the core of the work isn't changing.

That may be so, but it's still stupidly expensive and the free investor money seems to have dried up. Not to mention that you'd be competing with an incumbent, which investors don't like unless you have a very clear and hard to replicate edge.

I think they would if the mobile phone app started uploading a bunch of content and eat into bandwidth and battery. If the app doesn't upload, we still have a centralized system with a very inefficient transport layer.

Besides, even if you work around that problem somehow, YouTube has an insane amount of videos with very few views. That means there are not enough people to upload content, the centralized server or the original uploader needs to keep hosting them.

How would that work for the average user?

I've talked to a lot of people coming out of coding bootcamps and I've also talked to or know quite a few who left the industry. I think the main issue is that you get tossed right into the grind after the camp, doing your sprints, being basically a high stress factory worker producing code as ordered. You never get to experience the joy of creation, experimentation, and you never get hired for less conveyor belt jobs due to the lack of interesting passion projects and things to talk about.

> Bandwidth is getting cheaper

4k video would like a word.

There have been plenty of attempts. The problem is the high barrier to entry. Hosting videos costs a lot and you need a lot of content to keep viewers engaged/paying. If you go the advertizing route, companies don't really want to invest time and money into a platform that doesn't have a wide enough userbase. The only reason why YouTube worked like this is the silly amount of money Google was willing to sink into it.

There is something to be said about more specialized sites like Nebula, but I, for example, canceled my subscription there because the focus was too narrow.

US companies need to pay VAT when they sell to EU customers and EU companies don't pay VAT when they sell to US customers, so that can't be the reason.

That shouldn't stop you from including such a link in the header and keep the non-oneclick link in the footer. Nowadays, emails are forwarded embedded, not as EML attachments, so the header link wouldn't be included. You have to jump through hoops to forward as EML.

What was the legal reasoning behind this?

That seems to be a bad idea. The new rules state that you need to process the unsubscription within 2 days. Sending an email a few days later sounds like a good way to make it on the naughty list.

I recently did a bit of digging, and one thing that needs paying attention is CPS jurisdiction. If you stay in a place long enough, the local CPS may, depending on local laws, gain jurisdiction over your kid. If you didn't follow the rules around schooling, etc, you'll have to deal with a whole lot of trouble up to and including temporarily or permanently losing custody, even though you and your child aren't even citizens of the country.

I wonder how a controller can viably be used to cheat, and if so, how would rigging an official controller not have the same effect. Additionally, single player games don't have a cheating problem.

Something boring, well documented, and widely used. The more boring the better. I'd avoid hotshot stacks like the plague because they are usually immature and tend to change quickly.

Ideally, I'd pick something that has OpenAPI as a first class citizen or code generation, including validation.

QUIC explicitly mentions that it is vulnerable to amplification attacks in the RFC. It suggests sending an extra packet to mitigate, at which point I believe the advantage of QUIC is lost as far as establishing connections is concerned.

Not sure if it works in Germany as a US citizen, but next time try walking into a bank, explaining the situation and asking for a prepaid card. (E.g. we have the Mastercard Red in Austria.) It will take some time, you'll have to show ID, but it may solve the 3 EUR annoyance.

The browser connection API maybe?

> The candidates that I’m calling fraudulent are answering “Yes” to a question on our applicant form asking if they’re eligible to work in the US.

The dumb thing is that a lot (and I do mean a lot) of hiring platforms ask this question even when the job is advertized as not being in the US. It's hard to take seriously anymore.
