How do you know "it's just a mistake"?

Spending $300 already on a watch is already expensive (in addition to a $500-$100 phone), and it is a relatively small market, especially for watch OS watches. $230 on a kid's watch -- potentially more than one if you have more than one kid -- is definitely for parents who have money to spare.

Is there any cherry picking in the article? Do we have statistics about when INR was correct about the course of history while other agencies were wrong?

...somehow you managed to write more words than all the threads in this branch combined.

For one, when purchasing a Delta ticket with an Amex card, they know exactly where your origin and destination are.

Manually typing credit card numbers?

Autofill makes it a lot easier as well.

I tried the Termux -> Ubuntu -> code-server approach to get vscode running locally on a Galaxy Tab tablet. Since it is a somewhat "real" Ubuntu installation, it is as close as it gets, runs your debugger and compiler and doesn't have many of the limitations found in other terminals (e.g. go compiler does not run on iSH).

But I don't travel much and still prefer laptops with large screens. I do think many people will benefit from this approach. Too sad there are very Samsung tablets around.

(As a side note: I have Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ and an iPad Pro 12.9, and use the galaxy tab way more than iPad for browsing and watching YouTube videos. The screen is gorgeous and speakers are great, and I rarely find something that iPad has but not on Samsung.)

Would like to hear more about it. Are you saying this (using .at vs "manual error handling") is premature optimization that might not have any effect on modern hardware?

I meant sharing audio from your computer, e.g. if you have a YouTube video playing.

Once I was in a training session on C++ STL, and the instructor told us not to use vector at() method but instead check the size and handle out-of-bounds issues using something else, because exceptions are slow.

Coming from another language, this sounded wild to me. There is a perfectly fine API in the standard library that we choose not to use but instead reinvent the wheel because of an "implementation detail" of a compiler, something a beginner or even an intermediate level C++ developer is likely unaware of.

Most people write Java with an IDE. In fact, if you search for Java tutorials on YouTube, they first thing they tell you to do is to install an IDE. In other words, I don't understand why you bothered to waste your time writing such a long comment that are not applicable and have no use to others, as if you are showing off or something.

"doomed to fail"

Its definitely doomed to fail if CEOs want you to think it's doomed.

Your comment is handwavy with words like "feel" and "bad habits". There are real issues with remote work, but there are also ways to mitigate the downsides of it. It's easier for some people to just dismiss the idea entirely and pretend that in-office work is the better alternative without any problems. I have definitely seen that happen in my company and here.

I think because Meet is fully browser based, some of the features like sharing audio with screen are only available via chrome or chromium based browsers -- definitely not on Firefox in my own testing. I don't know the exact reason for that, but it's kind of sad.

My company has conference rooms that have specialized hardware for Microsoft Teams meetings. The audio really sucks -- everyone must project their voice for people joining online to hear. If someone speaks in a low voice, nothing can be heard on Teams even though it is clear enough for people in the room. I don't understand how we haven't solved this problem yet.

The functionality here seems interesting, but I assume only works well if everyone or almost everyone brings a laptop. It probably won't work well for those situations where only one or two people take their laptops to an in-person meeting.

...by American standards.

Coming from another culture, nobody even remotely think this is a thing.

Actually that is not true:

Concerts could be rescheduled or cancelled, and emails would be the only easy to contact customers for arrangements like refunds.

Similar for online shopping, and in addition, emails could be used for notifying product recalls or class action resolution.

While these cases are relatively rare, it illustrates it is hard to know when an email is "done" -- it could be useful after a purchase itself, or even long after a transaction has finished.

Most people in this thread probably have the money and technical skills to buy a domain and set everything up, but it misses the point: this is supposed to be "infrastructure" that everyone can use without any hassle (and likely for free), rather than private to an individual.

Of course, like others have pointed out, shared "temp email" services are more likely to be blocked.

They could end in @privaterelay.appleid.com which is... easy to block.

> Surely that’s because the wealthier you are, the more likely you are to be in control of your fertility, I say. One of the reasons why I chose to have only have two children is because I couldn’t afford to give more kids a good life; the bigger home, the holidays, the large car and everything else they would need.

> A generous smile spreads across Malcolm’s face. “People say this to themselves. But – speaking as someone who has a lot of wealthy friends – people just upgrade their lifestyle as they earn more money. We want to have tons of kids, but as a result of that, we’re not going to be able to send them to private school. We’re not going to be able to pay for them to go to college.” The Collinses plan to home school all their children.

Combined with the text "Elon Musk (father of 11) supports their cause." You know how irrelevant this article is to most people. We are looking at the lifestyle of a couple that is elitist and out of touch.

> Even with JetBrains IDEs, I usually spend an hour configuring stuff

That's you, not most people. Tons of people use VSCode every day for years and their user-level config is not more than a few lines.

You can say what you did helped you personally and you found it worthwhile, but that is no indication of how that would apply to others.

Need evidence of that 10x number.

The bottleneck in programming is often how fast you can think, not how fast you can type or use auto completion, and definitely not some shortcuts. They cut down time but are not magic. Not to mention that different IDEs often have the same features, you just need to find them.

You can't just equate Microsoft and Azure like that.

Does the TDP here refer to the CPU specifically or the whole package?

Missed opportunity to use hacker news as an example

Ah, seeing people posting coding styles, and other people debating them, I know my life is too short to join this conversation.

Doesn't the fact that lots of people use Facebook daily despite the scandals say something?

It's abundantly clear that most people don't care about how their data are used. Here "most" means people outside HN.

You are lucky if you can get a car in 10 minutes. Almost every time the agent would be helping other people and I would just wait for at least 10 min.

AI is not going to change the fact that you cannot run VSCode natively on an iPad.

When I was reading the title and I was wondering if this happened many decades ago when social norms/expectations were very different and gender discrimination was much worse. Turns out this woman is only a few years older than me, and in her time college/career isn't that much different from mine -- except the Mormon factor. The context here matters a lot. (And I imagine even among Mormons, people take it differently and prioritize their career differently -- but no use saying that now.)

Rather than using provocative and apparently biased word "mansplain", you'd better actually explain yourself, like, using well-formed sentences. This is HN not Twitter/X
