It’s the same reason as the third-party app API changes: prevailing forces within the company want to know that for every X API requests made, Y targeted ads were put in front of eyeballs. Most mobile browsers can block ads at this point.

Also being a wealthy software engineer, there still isn’t a better multi-monitor mobile solution than this at any price point. If you’re only working from home sure, but I like to cowork with friends in a variety of places.

The most sensible option is that we remove academic credentials from job qualifications entirely. We’ve increasingly introduced non-credentialed ways to learn, and we have non-credentialed ways to determine what a candidate can do. So why a

Based on the actual article, it's more like "the more cats owned, the more liberal/progressive/socialist men vote and behave, and the more conservative/tribal/fascist women vote and behave." Which fits wel

1) Having worked for a company that did this (after learning that it was an anti-pattern at a previous company)... Putting all Protobuf files in a single "registry"/repo is definitely an anti-pattern. You should put them in t

I would add that clubs, gyms, and meetups are a good, often free or very cheap option as well. Running, biking, skateboarding, climbing, calisthenics/acrobatics, board games, maker groups, art, music… all have very low cost of entry an

These features aren’t each supported by all those languages though. I also don’t think expecting a dev interested in Rust to understand several C-like languages is unreasonable, at least enough ti understand these straightforward example ca

Presumably it starts well below that, reaching $190K mid-career. And it’s still less than I make as a software engineer with an undergrad state school CS degree that left me only $30K in debt…

I mean, had we gone to nuclear power immediately as soon as we could, we likely wouldn't be where we are today. The window isn't that narrow. But there are definitely certain aspects of our ape brains that make us likely to exti

I’m shocked to not see Flutter supported here. It’s not truly truly native I guess. But Dart is very modern and capable and the Flutter framework is better for building native UIs than nearly anything else out there. It’s also ridiculously

In Ruby it’s “require” rather than “import.” But it would be more like “require bar; foo()”. However, Ruby does have auto-loading conventions. So you could define “module Baz{ module Bar { def foo end; } }” in “baz/bar.rb” from the r

For most Americans, exposure to outside cultures will happen much more through reading about them or interacting with, say, foreign exchange students and foreign cultural social groups, than visiting the places. Americans who grow up with t

You actually have the option to just use any USB-C charger in the 3 USB-C ports though, at least on my work 14-inch M1 Pro MBP. I just keep the MagSafe charger in my backpack, because those are the situations where I'd want it (rather

I've paid $40/year for RoboKiller (the source of the data in this article) since 2020, and consider it worth every penny. For reference, I was a long-time Pixel user before then who enjoyed the Google Assistant call filter. It&#x2

It does: I've used RoboKiller (who provided the data from the article) since I switched to iPhone in 2020 and missed the Google Assistant stuff from my Pixel. It has a free and a $40/year tier both of which are good compared to th

If you've got complex high-performance rendering requirements, nothing compares to Flutter. I tried building my app BeatScratch ( https://beatscratch.io/app ) in RN, and performance was abysmal everywhere. Flutter Web is

Somewhere in here, there's a general (not-just-computer-science) lesson to be learned about certifications and hierarchies owned by private corporations vs. those owned by the people who work and have a place in them.

At some point we'll realize that all income tax is regressive, and that property/wealth taxes (including on owned stocks, crypto, etc.) are the only thing that makes sense. Cash, frankly, doesn't matter at this stage of cap

I just got 5/6 with just my MacBook Pro speakers (but am a musician). "Bigger and stronger" is kind of an asinine way to describe the difference though. Was "you hear more subtle details" too many words?

This is the endgame of putting JS/programmability (rather than just markup) in browsers at all. HTML and CSS are great for formatting documents. But, in spite of years of jQueries, Angulars, Reacts, Vues, and 10M other frameworks being

When you get into how music editing works these two things are actually very much related. I’ve built a multi platform Flutter app that basically uses the “music theory” concepts of keys and chords to automate solving the “what note names s

Seems like only a few groups tried to silence this because it was demonstrably fake news. Others are happy to play it up. This is more like the type of journalism that put Hitler into power than, say, the smear campaigns against Snowden.

This is true, but the racial bias is easier to get people to rally behind. And it's gotten people talking more about the non-racial injustices in our justice system, too.

I generally agree, though I'd say donated money should go to every sponsored individual/party equally by default, with donors able to set weights to recipients in their preferences. Weighting videos on watch time, or GitHub spon

Rent is based on demand and competition in the market, which is why it reflects consumers' incomes. That's the entire problem with UBI: it will just result in widespread inflation, in housing and every other market. The only way t

Do you mean "most politically connected" or "best marketed at the right time?" Outside of products being used by state agencies, I don't think political connections have much bearing...
