I can live quite comfortably on half a typical salary, and I'm available.

Not all property on a coast is close to sea level. You might end up owning a private island.

Or if you don't want to commit to building a pier or platform, could you moor a houseboat there?

It's worth noting that flooding isn't an all or nothing thing. I live on the New England coast and my neighborhood occasionally floods during storms. This is a disaster for some houses, but only a temporary inconvenience for others which are build on a tall foundation and have a raised area for parking.

I would love that job. I have occasionally gotten to rewrite someone's old messy code into a new language and it was very satisfying.

I would like a job writing any language.

Is there a heat map of Uber activity? That might be interesting.

On the contrary, many people do want an echo chamber. I find the key to enjoying my Twitter experience is to differentiate between the threads where people do want a discussion and the ones where they only want to signal how much they agree with each other. Sometimes it's obvious, sometimes not.

Second Life is still active almost 20 years later, I don't know why people keep using the past tense.

The ones who don't want to be poor, which is most people.

You can block the keywords associated with those subjects.

The main priority of an IT department is security.

The most secure system is one that isn't being used.

Therefore, the main priority of an IT department is to make the systems as difficult or unpleasant to use as possible.

I sometimes print things to pdf (often after using developer tools to clean up the page) and save them in Calibre, which lets me save dates, tags, and other metadata with them.

The older ones were smaller.

He wouldn't get any imaginary internet points for that.

Mine's detecting 20 at the moment, and using 14 of those. This varies slightly from minute to minute. Many GPS apps display this data.

I found the Git section of "The Missing Semester of Your CS Education" to be helpful.

If your goal is to avoid using an sd card, have you considered a Beaglebone?

Half the companies I've worked for have gone out of business or been acquired. Good luck verifying them.

Effective way to select for only young employees, I suppose.

Thank you.

If it's on Amazon or eBay, you have no way of knowing if it's fake. Buy directly from a distributor such as https://www.projectn95.org, https://bonafidemasks.com, etc.

If you prefer the KF94 types, I've heard good things about https://kollecteusa.com and https://behealthyusa.net.

I've experienced that many times among groups of electrical engineers - we're all fine discussing equations but once its time to plug in the numbers no one wants to volunteer an answer.

So many times here on HN I see "grandmas" used to mean "people who cannot use a computer at all except maybe to check Facebook".

Somehow I never see anyone do this for any demographic category other than age and sex.

In the 1950s, comic book detective Dick Tracy wore a two-way wrist radio, which later included video.

That's one reason why I drive a pickup truck, they're easier to work on than cars since there's more space everywhere, even on the smaller old trucks.

I have a 110 volt electric kettle, and it does not take 30 minutes to boil.

This whole "people on the internet aren't real people" thing is SO 20th century.

Yeah, that's annoying. But there's another app, YouTube Vanced, that works.

Sure, debugging a compiler is more fun.

Ah, I was thinking of this: https://www.electronjs.org/apps/streamlabs-obs

Discord and OBS come to mind.
