Does anyone now if this system supports Google Docs-like live editing? I'm struggling to find such a service.

snrji commented on Ask HN: Will getting a PhD lead to a more interesting life? · Posted by u/foopdoopfoop
Not necessarily, it depends on the advisor, university, program and field.
The problem is that once you start you are committed for 4 years. Abandoning a PhD program and starting another one is quite more complicated than changing of job.

snrji commented on Ask HN: Is there a library for creating cross-editor plugins? · Posted by u/snrji
If the plugin you want to make is around language support in an editor (i.e. autocomplete, goto definition, or documentation), the Language Server Protocol might work.

Hey! I didn't see your answer. That's very useful, thanks!
I bet this is a great feature (and I do have an Apple Watch), but can we please hold for a sec here? This piece reads like an Ad. Furthermore, many comments here are about "I want to see my kids grow up". Now please, calculate the odds of:
- you are in a terrible accident
- there is no one around you to call an ambulance
- you can’t call an ambulance yourself, because you are knocked out or can’t move
I think the odds for such an event are rather low. If you like smart watches, sure, go ahead and buy one. But for everybody who just wants to wear it because they are afraid: I don’t think it’s necessary for most people, unless you ride around alone in remote areas and are inexperienced or whatever.
My point is: don’t buy because of fear if your risk profile is super incredibly low.
It's not only about the odds, but the expected return. That's the whole point of insurance, for instance. Having an accident under these circumstances is quite improbable, but in case it happened, the return would be massive. Actually, since it might be a matter of life or death, perhaps it doesn't even make sense to think about the expected utility, because it would be infinite.

Back in the Android 2.0 days, a guy had a set of TI emulators which, when loaded with the ROM downloadable directly off of TI's website, perfectly replicated several well-known TI calculator models. Think the one I used got shut down, but there's a number of newer ones:

I already owned a TI calculator at the time, it was just nice not to carry it around. TI probably would still make good money selling an official version.
For studying it would be fine, but for taking exams no way the instructors can let you in with your phone.
snrji commented on Python proposal: add immutable (persistent) dictionaries python.org/dev/peps/pep-0... · Posted by u/dikbrouwer
A const declaration only ensures that the variable always points to the same object, not that that object is immutable. For instance in JS:
const foo = {};
foo.bar = 1;
That depends on the language.

This is the kind of ad-hoc PEP proposal that could be completely avoidable if there was a generic modifier or initialization/declaration construction for declaring a variable as constant. So incredibly simple, so incredibly useful that it's hard to believe that it hasn't been accepted yet (it was proposed).
