I call him "my son"

Most young people are familiar with lowercase sentences and have been for a while, yes

This is a good encapsulation of why the year of the Linux desktop is perpetually fifteen years away.

Surprised to read this as a Queens thing, this sounds perfectly at home in the Midwest.

I'm...not old enough to read a Business Insider article about being annoyed by lowercase letters.

forced lowercase

??? shift is an extra key to press

Fun coincidence to see this mentioned today, just recently I rescued my DroidWorks disc from my basement and was looking into how to get it running on a modern system. Obviously Wine/Proton are probably an option but I saw that there have been some efforts to build open implementations of games like Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 and Grim Fandango that ran on the same engine or a modified version of it, I wonder how much of that pre-existing work would be transferrable.

All places laden with useful information.

The style of plastic bin definitely looks the same. The ones we were getting looked something like this[0], same folding-flap top as in your link but form-fitted insulation inside:

I used this service before it rolled out widely and these boxes were a mixed bag. On one hand they worked really well, they were essentially insulated hard totes with styrofoam lining and often had dry ice in them for anything that needed to be kept cold. On the other hand, I lived in an apartment, so storing 3-4 totes for a week or more was a real chore.

The funniest thing I remember though is that the totes weren't optimized for the size of some of the products available very well - if you put a frozen pizza in it, it sat diagonally, and without enough room to really put anything above or below it. You order four frozen pizzas, and you're allocating many cubic meters of apartment space for them until the next time you order.

I'm glad to see more of this approach to modernizing education. I roll my eyes seeing people argue that we should go back to pen + paper or other weird rose-colored regressive approaches to preventing AI usage. It's part of education now, it's part of work now, and learning environments that don't acknowledge that are going to be dragged kicking and screaming into a future with empty classrooms.

See my other comment. I want my doctor/plumber/etc to be able to recall faster, type faster, work better under pressure. If you're better at those things you should get better grades and be paid more.

Those are all proxies for "is smarter". They have better memories, perform better under pressure, etc. Universities are meant to prepare students for the real world where these things matter.

Fast students are smarter. Why avoid grading on that?

EDIT: Rate limited so: "smarter" here means how well the student will perform in a career in their chosen field. Fast + accurate is the ideal.

Agreed. A lot of my countrymen have forgotten that America generally kicks ass, it's sad to see.

This might explain my confusion. I went to the inflation calculator to see that $60 scallops in 1917 would be $1700 now and was a bit taken aback.

I had a lot of very good times with CoffeeScript but I'll never forgive it for having implicit returns. So many subtle event-bubbling bugs caused by that.

My bad, I meant for this to come off more funny than snarky. Appreciate the check.

EDIT: Upon finishing reading the other comments on this article though...I feel a bit singled out. :)

I think, therefore I am seeking 2.5m total comp

Same here. Every time a thread like this comes up it brings out that a surprising number of paranoid helicopter parents browse HN, which is a contradiction in perspective that I can't really emphasize with.

Let's ban books and skateboards too

If they're not building reactors on the land allocated to native tribes, why should they?

Indistinguishable from a joke

What is vibe coding?

Check in in 20 years. The gap between the US and whoever is in second place is enormous. I don't spend enough time on Reddit to think it's close or declining.

Then touching grass remains a good recommendation for you and the person I replied to. Only hard to hear because I wish more of my countrymen were connected to reality.

It is, because of the time component of money. Money is a way of storing the value of labor in a manner less affected by time. If you sell it all at once, its value is greatly reduced. All investments include that time component. Point-in-time net worth doesn't have much value as a measurement in part because of this.

Gold is value, you cannot take it to a grocer and buy food.

I have no idea why the adjusted net worth of people who died centuries ago would have anything to do with money in the modern day. And at a glance, neither of your examples had billions of dollars in cash, which is the point I was making. They may have had a lot of value tied up in illiquid investments, which is exactly like Musk's valuation.

You sound like you don't live in the US. Maybe read less reactionary news.
