I nearly did buy a short used schoolbus. I ended up with a Ford E350 with 15 seats in 5 rows. The oldest kids can help herd the younger ones, but I have the responsibility. I still have to check. Failure causes serious trouble.

Much of it is unique to an urban city: the existence of a subway, the need to use one because there is no parking, the apartment (including kitchen) being small, the cost of food, the use of elevators, the people in tents. Much of the rest

Well 1stcity3rdcoast is "raising children in the densest urban core" and asks us to "Imagine" being in his situation. I did imagine it. In reality, of course I don't live like that. I'm in a big house in a non-

OK, I'll try to imagine it. I'll assume you don't mean living like Trump did, in a personally owned tower with lots of servants including chefs and drivers. Note that I actually do have 12 kids. Imagining... I herd my 12 kids

What makes that really interesting is that the Marines are strapping land vehicles onto ships to add capability. This is such a hack. Want another weapon or sensor for the ship? Add an entire truck that has it, including the wheels and engi

This makes sense if: a. you stumble across a bug by accident b. you can get that $30K often enough to be a nice income in your country c. you can turn the fame into a book deal, tenure, consulting success, or similar Otherwise, it makes a l

I don't think it is safe to use a wrist rest. You'd be applying pressure there. Keep your wrists generally straight, with a little variation. I'm using an old Microsoft keyboard. The new ones are not good, particularly the Na

It all depends on why you want to leave. Some people despise the politics, while others try to bring that with them to places like Alabama and Georgia. Some people want to stop having a huge commute, while others limit their choices to plac

There may be unintended results, including tasty brick oven pizza: https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-1n27coal23479-coal... Koch Carbon is only 31 miles away. Just the name... it's carbon you can buy from the Ko

It's 100% pure politics, without any sort of connection to science or technology or startups or anything else that Hacker News is oriented towards. Worse yet, right in the opening section (just above the line) there is an inappropriate

A properly-equipped full-system simulator is useful for debugging applications. I have one. It is decently fast too. It's free or very expensive, depending on how you count several in-house developers to maintain it.

Heh, it feels like everybody and their dog has written a reversible debugger. Listed in this Hacker News thread we have 7 implementations in gdb, plus rr and WinDBG. I'll add one more, an in-house hypervisor that I help develop. Stuff

Make that $40,000 per person in the household, not $120,000 per household. Family size differs greatly. If the value isn't per-person, then you make people grow up in poverty and you drive the average family size down well below the re

The most awesome was SAL, a vector math library by Mercury Systems. Every function came in multiple varieties, specialized for the expected and desired cache hotness of the data. Suppose you wanted to multiply a couple matrices. There are t

Pick a school that uses a low-level language. C is great. Java, Python, Javascript, and Scheme are all bad. Take the courses that involve writing compilers and operating systems. Do a project that involves writing an emulator, perhaps for o

The really serious way: Go to Carnegie Mellon. While getting a BS in CS, be active in a student group called Plaid Parliament of Pwning. Finally, send me some sort of resume.

It's 100% natural with 1 wife. Homeschooling takes time. I almost bought a house that had been used as a foster home. It was disturbing. Everything everywhere had locks. Even the drawers in the kitchen had individual key-based locks. Y

Yep. It's hard to resist. I have 12 kids. I sure want time for random stuff... and then I realize the Sun is rising and I haven't slept. That's with a 40-hour work week, a 3-minute commute, and none of that gym/fitness t

I have 12. Nothing stops the people at Subaru from knowing this. They can use the cameras in the car to peer over my fence into my backyard. The car has a cellular network connection. I hate cars.

I have 3, to have different sizes, and I hate them all. I couldn't find anything good for sale. This is partly because I don't want a car that overrides me and collects data on me and ruins my night vision with a useless back-up s

The 286 did have protected memory. Each memory access was associated with a segment register, one of CS DS ES SS. The low 2 bits were for 4 permission levels, and the next bit up indicated which of two tables the MMU should use, the LDT or

This is part of why I resisted requests to make the Linux ps command sort processes by default. Half a process listing is a useful hint. It also saves memory, which is great on the insane 10240-core boxes.

Yes, and sort of. Most sites don't require an existing clearance, but you'd have to be eligible. The main reasons for rejection seem to be foreign connections and debt you can't handle. After that I think it is addictions and

I think I see the problem: "half a day" Depending on what you mean by "a day", each commute direction is 2 to 3 hours. (or I suppose 6) You have a very long distance, or severe traffic, or something else unusual. It soun

Somewhat yes. It depends on where you draw the line for "tech cluster", both for the size and for the industry. Austin and the DC area sort of count. No, they aren't the Bay Area, but nothing else is. Specifically for low-lev

It's mainly about security. We keep our stuff off of computers that can reach the internet. I get two computers at my desk, one for random internet junk and one for real work. I happen to like the side-effect on work-life balance. Nobo
