There are services out there like everplans.com that handle this. There’s also the simpler and more basic deadmansswitch.net Get a lawyer and do real estate planning, in either case.

Yep, this is the plain reality. Self driving cars just feels like a bunch of engineers wanting to solve a really hard and really interesting problem. But is it really the right problem to solve? I don’t think so. Currently we have: >ot

Civil Rights Act and the ADA disagree. As does Sherman Anti Trust and dozens of others.

Exactly. If I buy and drive a BMW, I’m a BMW driver. I’m not BMW’s user. What a scary way to phrase that relationship.

Startups should almost never use k8s. They need to iterate fast and ignore the complexities of infra. k8s is far too complex for most small companies. CapRover Droplet on Digital Ocean + deploy your Rails app with git. Scale your single VPS

Kotlin‘s return/break@<implicit or explicit loop label> handles the iterator escape idiom quite elegantly.

goto makes sense in C for cleanup of local resources. Passing a bunch of pointers to pointers to another function for cleanup makes code far less readable (jumping around in a source file instead of just reading code linearly and freeing

> Island based client hydration for maximum interactivity. This honestly reads like satire. It sounds like something on the sarcastic VanillaJS homepage. This gibberish being the second bullet point in a list of core features is a huge t

I’m not defending daily gym class. I’m defending daily sports. I was fortunate enough to go to a high school that did not have a gym period, but required all students to play an organized sport. Gym in large high schools is a waste of time

Getting home is a big issue for a lot of families. School ends around 3 pm, but most kids do some sort of after school activity like a sport to bridge the gap until after 5 pm when a parent can come through the pickup line. Growing up, th

Delusional. Sports are competitive. They require daily reps. Sports are also meant to keep kids physically active and healthy, and to establish a routine of physical activity into their adulthood (alongside intellectual productivity). You c

Yeah, sorry. That doesn’t work in a huge percentage of areas in the US. Heat, cold, darkness, lack of infrastructure, and distance. When the high is 110 F in a Phoenix suburb, you can’t ask the 14 year olds to skateboard 20 miles to school

School start is really bounded by the start of the average parent’s workday, unfortunately. Mom and Dad start work at 9 am. Kids need to be at school before then. None of this 10 am start talk makes sense for the kids that aren’t on the bus

Not the same game, but I used to work as an Android dev for an imaging company. We had to physically test our apps in meatspace with the real device camera and we had to support hundreds of devices. I had hundreds of Android devices hooked

Yeah, but what if I want indefinite sharing (like with my wife) but would also like to be notified when I’m being tracked? That should definitely be an option. It should really be the default… Right now it’s way too damn easy to ask to borr
