Yeah there's special tech for that! Has something to do with sending some frequency over the line and measuring how long it takes to "reflect" off of the breakage and back to the shore.

How does a bee "respond with pessimism"?
Windows XP was my first operating system when my family got their first computer. At the time our school computers were running Windows 98. I felt so special having the new "XP" system at home haha. The login sound still brings back memories. Thank you for your contributions!
Eh.. I don't see the same resemblance. I mean Justin is no Pierre but he's not a Castro from what I can see.
I've been using my original pixel 2 since the day it came out. Still works like a charm. Fast, battery is good, small and the camera is great. I've been looking at getting an iPhone mini but what I get for the price doesn't seem to be that much better than what I have now.
Does it make a difference that the people laid off at Netflix don't seem to be software developers?
Probably same reason soldiers march. It's a collective dance-like experience.
This reminds me of a thing I do when I prepare for a cold shower. I rhythmically start walking in place. Just moving my weight from one foot to the other at a constant pace. At the same time, I breathe in and out at the same pace.
I've noticed this helps me take the shock of the cold water so much better. I feel like it helps my emotional mind latch onto a simple task. It's like when you're air drumming and you nail all of the parts in a song and you feel great because there's something so satisfying about your mind predicting an outcome and then that our coming happening rhythmically. I feel it's the same but on a simpler scale when doing my steps and breathing.
Isn't this just like sand though? There needs to be some organic material in there or some form of nutrient.
Is it because hardware doesn't scale as well as software? For embedded development, you need some kind of hardware that needs to be sold. A computer or a phone is something everyone already has. An embedded microcontroller? Not so much.
Ask HN: Is there a way to emulate a SQL database in the browser?

I wonder if there some way of specifying the important properties of the part, say the voltage rating, capacitance, etc of a capacitor, and have it choose the best capacitor from digikey or if sold out, the next best and do that all automatically. You can even specify a marking in the PCB like C6 and have the digikey BOM reference that so your little parts bag will have that printed when it arrives.
One thing that's a pain I've encountered when designing my own PCBs is having to figure out, route, add and source bypass capacitors. Each chips you use needs them nearby, usually the datasheet specifies the type and capacitance. It would be nice to have either community premade functional blocks that include these as well as links to digikey for sourcing.
Things get a bit more complicated when you start using switching power supplies and you need to include a specific inductor, multiple caps and resistors all arranged in an optimal way specified by the datasheet. Those would be awesome to have functional PCB blocks for.
Yeah I did that :) got a girlfriend, joined her social circle, we both found new friends and I became better friends with my sister and her fiance.
Same for me. I was super tight with my friends for 4 years during my college experience. We were in every class together for 6 hours a day. Did everything together. Took a few years after graduating but now we don't hang out anymore. Maybe meet up once a year.
I did a mechanical engineering bachelor's straight outta highschool, took 4 years, got a job doing CAD work, didn't like it, got a job teaching mech eng as an assistant instructor (fun and fulfilling but bad pay). Learned to code in my free time, made lots of unique projects (online codenames clone, vehicle sensor visualizer, android app) then worked on a website that got fairly popular and started making money with it. During this time I was actively applying to places, getting no responses. Then out of the blue, got an interview, went well, was hired. Now I'm a backend developer and have my foot in the door. But boy did it take time and work.
Yeah that's true. Although I guess the bank guarantees your savings will still be the same amount if their investments go down?
Makes me think all the articles and advice to invest in index funds were all part of this plan too.
Turns out, starting work 4 years earlier in your life helps with compound interest.
Also, my public repos are all code I've done before I started working. My code has improved a lot since I've been coding every day for my job but it's all private.
