Yeah well, one of the many reasons I generally avoid HN.

It was definitely intentional. The prefect sandbox has been a central design decision since day one.

I absolutely love it. I only use it for data and I travel a ton. Never having to hunt down SIM cards every 3 days when I hit a new country with a flat global rate is great. And you get 10 free data sims, so everything that can possibly get a sim jammed into it has one and works in every country.

I know it is anecdotal, but I have never seen even the slightest hint of anyone having their devices closely looked at entering China. At least not in the 72/144 hour visa-free line that I have been using for the past couple of years. This visa-free entry is aimed at business travelers so perhaps there is less scrutiny there.

Obviously that depends on what you invest in and how much risk you are willing to carry. In the long term the stock market index funds have returned about 6-7% annually adjusted for inflation. Take almost any 10-year window in the past 30 years and SV home prices have either matched or beaten that substantially.

That is simply not true. Even if you bought at the peak in 2007 in Sunnyvale you are likely up 50% or more on your investment. If you were lucky and bought in 2005 or 2009 your house is probably worth 60-70% more than when you bought it. This has been true for the past 25-30 years in much of SV. That doesn't mean it will continue forever, of course, but the trend has been there for a very long time now.

I use a T460s with a Google Fi SIM card in it running Debian. It works really well and Google lets you get up to 10 free data sims so you don't need another account.

Don't you see that you just proved the point? You read "your mother" and you understood "incompetent about technology." That is the sexist stereotype we get irritated by.

That made no sense at all.

Why change the headline to a blatantly sexist one?

You don't need to build a box. Someone has done it for you. Get a Ubiquity EdgeRouter Lite for < $100.

You can do partial scans. If you create a list of files and only feed it the ones you care about it can scan those. It will complain about missing classes, but you can ignore those with phan -i

Usually a middle ground works best. Run it once on just your files and look at the undeclared classes then add the files from the framework that define those so you get at least one level of checks of your calls into the framework. Or just feed it everything, but it can take some time to scan thousands of files and if you aren't using most of that code it gets annoying.

I couldn't wait to get away from Waterloo for my work terms. Winters in Waterloo are extremely unpleasant! My last two work terms were in Brazil and I actually ended up working for this Brazilian company after I graduated but like most of my peers I could have called on any of my former work term companies and instantly gotten a job without putting my resume in amongst the pile of unknown new-grad resumes.

The article is about Waterloo engineering co-op though.

Loss of community with the rest of your class? At Waterloo co-op in engineering is not optional. Your entire class is on the same 4-month school-workterm-school schedule.
