I guess that's cool if you mostly do web stuff. But there are tons of developers that use Python/C++ for embedded systems, OS, data science and other things that could make the same argument for Qt.

I suppose if you are familiar with Tkinter and are happy with how it looks have at it! But there are a ton of things that can be leveraged from Python and Qt separately going this route. PyQt uses compiled Qt C++ code so isn't really t

Part-time programming? Never seen such a position, where do they exists?

You do have a point, traffic does seem to be much more reasonable to be in and interact with the faster you go. If you can average >15mph and follow the rules of the road, most people in cars are quite pleasant in my experience. However

You can even get a professional level Wahoo Kicker for $1200 (no tire wear), have money for a mid-range bike and still save a ton of money month to month with Zwift over Peloton's monthly cost... Or buy a cheap training wheel and a $40

Yes, it is a hard thing for many people, I don't question that by any means. But it's not technically hard, it's mentally and instinctually hard. We have known how to eat healthy forever, you see something green or meaty that

CICO is more like Python: print 'hello world!'. It's crazy simple and there is a ton going on beneath the hood, but nobody needs to go that deep to get the job done. If you find some other libraries/tricks that help make

If you ask the Keto people, they will say you can. But the point being made is to eat healthy real food. Sure you can be dumb about it, but it's a good starting place. Yes, the human body is very complex and metabolisms and people are

CICO IS all that matters at the end of the day. Yes, some people may be hungry, some may have a faster metabolism, some may do it better with less carbs, some with less fat, some prefer to only eat within a 4 hour window, others may just wa

Why does that 'sound' unhealthy? If you want to actually lose weight and eat healthy you need to change your lifestyle, not do a diet here or there for a week or 2. The more you exercise the more you can get away with eating! (Sur

1358 cals/day would be a 642 cal deficit a day with a 2000 calorie expenditure. That's a loss of about -4500 calories/week or around 1.28 pounds (~3500 cal/lb). A typically suggested healthy weight loss rate is around 1-

True, but you don't have the same expenses. Hopefully less direct human labor hours, able to run 24x7 at times when human costs could be higher, way less real estate and more viable locations than a restaurant, as well as just lower ut

I have been using protopage.com, which is basically what iGoogle was back in the day. I just drop in the RSS feeds for the top posts from subs I want to check out and have it limit the number of posts. I do that with HN and a few other sit

Didn't see any mention of the Volvo Care thing, but leasing any car is typically a bad idea, Volvo is just packing more crap in for extra lazy people that like paying even more. I don't see the death of a thousand cuts thing curre

Are you saying this model is gonna take over real estate in a new way and that we will lose our biggest potential source of equity? Or that we have so much equity to bank on from our old records, tapes, and discs? Or that this a new thing a

Yes, there were plenty of reposts, and reposts are typically bad. But that doesn't mean it isn't a topic HN wants to discuss as it did finally get traction on this latest go at it. Timing (and luck) can be everything on these site

It's called a PE (Professional Engineer) License. They introduced one for Software a few years ago. Most engineering disciplines have this and you can take the test 5 years after passing your FE (Fundamentals of Engineering) with work

I really like this concept for college tuition or for funding people who haven't already gotten a degree. However if just focusing on soon-to-be/recent graduates, I don't get why a student would be motivated enough to use you

Yes of course any modern smart phone can do this by just not installing apps. But there is absolutely a need for a minimal or 'dumb' smart phone. Just having Google Play with everything available is enough to get you distracted en

There is a pretty accessible and obvious checkbox on every activity to make it private if you wish.

Yes, the people that STILL haven't bothered to change from Hotmail even though it's quite easy are more likely to not be good drivers. I don't think the difficulty of changing the factor should matter, in fact I'd say th

Leech Block for Firefox or Chrome Nanny on Chrome do a great job of keeping me from veering too far off my intended path without too much configuration... Just setup domains and the times or limits you want to restrict them.

I am guessing they can make more off of an increased number of credit card transactions with some sort of deal with Stripe or whomever. It also allows them to obscure when and how much they are getting paid when it really doesn't need

I don't see how a 'wallet' doesn't handle the CUF... Patreon should already have the money in what is basically a pre-paid account. You just have a minimum amount that can be paid into the wallet. There should also be pa

I have been on both ends of this situation, hitting a car behind me while trying evade a car backing into me and I have been backed into while stationary at a light and not having time to respond. In the end it's best not to try to bac

And what if the truck keeps backing into it? Does the car just keep avoiding it forever? When is the truck driver expected to take responsibility for doing something technically illegal.

To what end should a self driving vehicle back up or avoid a collision? You could essentially hijack a self driving car by boxing it in if it avoided all obstacles and impacts. Stopping seems to be the normal and best reaction to these sort

Right, but the point is how many jobs does Amazon create delivering all those goods to you compared to say a Sears or Walmart? The modern day middlemen are doing a better job with way less people. Hence the Retail Apocalypse...
