How many new designs have come out over the last 2 weeks? HN front page has seen several already.

The US has become engineering/design while manufacturing is overseas. Broad stereotype, but I hope this is an opportunity for the US to recognize that manufacturing may actually be an issue of national sovereignty.

I understand these devices take 2-3 years not reach market. What’s the risk that some of these devices aren’t effective or too overpowering? Is there a test harness that can grade these devices?

I’ve been immersed in C++ at the office for over a year. It is a big language, but like all big languages one ends up finding the parts of it they need to use and get really good at it. The more languages I learn, the more I dislike languag

I enjoyed many hours of GPL before I had a family. Now that they’re a bit older... any steering wheel recommendations? ;)

IMO, this current crisis exposes a very strange dichotomy: government is essentially shutting down parts of the economy over shelter-in-place orders, but when people lose their jobs and (for some) employer health care, the government doesn’

Is it time to rethink the Bay Area and NYC having all of the tech jobs?

Mind map everything you worry about. Go deeper in scenarios like losing a job. Get it all out there and take a breath, because you can get through every scenario.

I still wish I could run Xcode on it. It’s too nice of a machine to have to spin up a cloud server to develop on. One concern: my iPad Pro 1 smart Keyboard died after 2 years.

WWDC has always been, like some of their devices, “exclusive”. More demand than supply. Will they keep limited registration, or might it open up to another tier of registrants?

One thing I admire about my most successful coworkers is their lack of fear when diving headfirst into something new. "Hey, we've got this problem, can you take a look?" And they say sure. They will research, then code, then

Is this an excellent chance to rack up some safe miles with free upgrades to first class?

Sounds neat, but I’ll continue to use “request desktop website” on mobile safari in a vain attempt to prevent running whatever else this app does besides chat.

how many GVCs do you have where people are connecting from their desk or rooms on different floors of the same building? It happens a lot. Can’t be that bad.

I wonder if this “temporary alteration” will impact the way business is conducted long-term. Instead of choosing between conference calls or flights, choose VC.

You get on the list and then they send you the paperwork every cycle. Drop them off at the special metal boxes around town and you’re all set.

That concrete is terrible there. At night it’s hard to see the painted lines but the lines made by the concrete totally bend towards that left exit. Challenging to tell which lines to follow to stay in your lane. I don’t mean to give Tesla

I got ripped off on eBay where the fraudster kept my gas RC car and got the refund. It was only $300, but I haven’t sold anything on the internet that I wouldn’t be uncomfortable giving away since.
