Love the idea Hari. On my iPhone, when I tap a dot, it takes me straight to the camera page. I would expect a popover with a title, etc. and a second tap to go to the camera page.

Don't forget Costco

This would sever the connection to the ancient language, which is central to Greek identity. We would have a better chance of an English spelling reform—arguably more essential given its lingua franca status and absurd spelling. But we know that’s not going to happen.

Regardless, a fun exercise. I’ve thought a lot about the sound drift, case merging, loss of the infinitive and such. Good to see someone else’s ideas on the topic.

Multiple desktops in Windows can help with this. Ctrl+Win Right/Left cursor keys to switch.

An early form of domain squatting

The two things I find unacceptable are no local accounts and non consensual reboots. The latter may need legislation. They don’t even notify you that it happened. They try to restart apps and put things back the way they were but you can still tell that your house was broken into by the missing data that wasn’t saved.

Yep. Perl 6 was a wall that Perl 5 would never move beyond. It’s still Perl 5 25 years later.

An alternative is graduated capital gains rates based on total assets owned (ideally skewed higher, like 10, 50, 100MM, …). Exemptions like QSBS could still be applied. This would allow shareholder control issues to remain unaffected, which wealth taxes never seem to address.

Not sure how to apply it on the corporate side. There are also multi entity workarounds to consider.

Just an idea.

This is called cognitive offloading. Anyone who’s spent enough time working with coding assistants will recognize it.

I see that was with Eric. I worked on his phone. It had two keys and the PM developed their own encoding. I strongly advocated for Morse. I wasn’t aware of this patent. Cheers

LF, MF, and so on are bands, or frequency ranges. AM is a modulation technique. It, like FM and others, can be used on any band (although regulations can limit this).

There was a thread on HN a week ago about this.

A lot will depend on her aptitude and inclination. It sounds like you’re thinking that software is a likely direction. If she’s looking at college, a computer science degree will give her a lot of options. There are also two year and technical schools with similar curricula.

If she goes that route, there are many different types of work. Writing software is the obvious one, but there’s technical project management, engineering management, etc. Again, depends on where her interest lies.

One great thing about being a woman in tech is that it offers great job security and growth potential. For whatever reason there is a real dearth of women in the field, so if she’s good, she’ll be highly sought after.

For future reference, I did confirm from a support person that live streams are not offered in the US "due to legal reasons". You can only receive it through select cable, satellite, and other operators. Sad.

I've been disappointed with DW for a long time. One of their ostensible goals is to promote the German language (see the Deutsche Welle Act, which governs it). Finding a live stream in German on their site is near impossible. I expect it's due to agreements with US cable companies, but I haven't been able to confirm that. I can't think of another reason for them to display "Es gab ein Problem Zugang zu dem geschützten Inhalt herzustellen" whenever I attempt to view live German content. Fortunately, some of it is available on YouTube.

I believe the patches are all community sourced. They tend to be well made but they're not something the average consumer would use. It's hit or miss as to whether they work with your particular model.

Microsoft is late to the party here. This has been core to Apple's business model for years. Here's an example of OS support for the MacBook Air:

The arbitrary cadence of abandonment is amazingly consistent and has no basis in hardware capabilities.

French has a related word with the same meaning, "glisser". Both the German and the French term appear to come from the same original word. The French word "glacier" and the English word "glide" are also derived from it.

I had the privilege of working for Eric at one of his startups. He had an outsized personality. He was the most gregarious person I've known. He could be very intimidating until you got to know him. He was also positive and generous, and his enthusiasm was contagious. We will miss him.
