It would be a benefit to have dev teams in the Toronto/NYC time zone. We’ve worked with the Cupertino devs since the start of Apple News and there’s a bit of a disconnect there because of the time difference. Apple has had other teams

Yeah good point. It did strike me, though, because I'd just written several scripts running JMeter commands and sort of breezed over how they're written even though I had to go and look up all the flags.

Wow. I just realized I'm terrible for this. I usually format my programming pretty verbosely to make it future-readable but I'm terrible for not doing that in my scripts. I'll add a comment or something explaining it but now

The disinformation campaigns are definitely a problem, but I think peoples' susceptibility to them (as well as the very visible polarization etc) may only be growing pains. The challenge is to make it through those adolescent years in

It works well enough for me in some categories. Like if I'm listening to some guitar demo or pedal maker demo or shootout, I'll get similar videos coming through and I've stumbled onto some great ones that way (JHS pedals has

I've had the same experience. I use YT to listen to music pretty regularly and if I don't go and actively select a different song it will play the same 5-10 over and over. Even when I do select a song it will make its way back to

That would probably be a huge boon. I've enjoyed my watch for music and notifications, etc. But if that was available I'd probably opt for it in the future and wear a decent mechanical watch instead. I'd like that option.

Oh I didn't mean to imply it's all they bring! Like I said—those farms have amazing produce and they also bring that stuff in. But in my experience at the satellite farmers' markets here in Toronto I've noticed they will

I haven’t read any of the books mentioned, but as a software worker I’m sure many of us have seen problems which would be solvable, even very simply, if the other parameters (often people) were more readily changeable. I’ve done some read

Kind of ironic as well considering it was Bostock while at the NYT who released a number of widely used, and highly influential, open source libraries.

That’s actively happening! An ex-coworker of mine has been working with a team on a drone tree-planting startup that is bidding to take on government and heavy industry contracts. IIRC there are several companies working in that space and s

Oh no. I've wasted plenty of time. And so have they by interviewing me and proposing ludicrous problems well outside of the problem domain of the role I was interviewing for. I understand some problems are meant to judge your thought p

I'm of the opinion that if there needs to be some objective technical challenge to determine a baseline of competency (and there are very many, very strong arguments for that) then there need to be standards. I've encountered so m

Do they have to be or want to be? If they want access to the market then it's a "Want to be" not a "have to be" because of the opportunities apparent.

I've experienced this tangibly. Recorded an EP with a guy who had rebuilt a bunch of used gear by hand so nothing even physically made it into the studio unless he could afford it and fix it. He had plenty to work with, but it was larg

How can it be for the same reason? Google allows side-loading and third-party app stores.

I do the same. And most new LPs come with digital downloads anyway. These days I have kept my existing album downloads but I sub to Apple Music so I can grab almost anything on the fly, download it so I’m not constantly streaming (I listen

WordPress is great for simple blogs. The people (probably like me) who would call WP the devil is people who have had to maintain 15 year old intertwined WP instances riddled with outdated portions of the platform, insecure hand-coded modif

I’ve been mildly vocal in my support for not altering how iOS works. I bought into it explicitly because of how it works. Your comment is my preferred outcome as well. It would at least be a sign of good faith that they’re in it for the val

That comparison would be calling every other phone on the market not just inferior, but entirely different technology. Seeing as they all can access the same networks and be comprised of varying hardware and use varying operating systems I

Google is involved in Epic's dispute with Apple? I'm sorry, but I haven't seen that anywhere. Could you clarify?

Wouldn't it be a lot less difficult to not collect the user data governed by privacy laws at all? I think that's the message being encouraged by laws like that of the EU

It's not a new problem, either. Growing up in a rural, agricultural zone we learned thoroughly about run-off and the potential for harm, and the harm that had happened in the past. DDT was nearly a curseword. It's etched into my m
