Companies are creating costs for the sake of creating costs. Remember any recent big UI redesign in an app you use? Were you unhappy with the previous UI? Is the new design a big improvement compared to the previous? Most likely not. But ma

It is great and it is his choice. But I also don't judge the copycats. Video games get copied all the time. In the beginning, we will get blatant clones which share the same ui and name. Give it some time and we will see clones which a

Is moderation and abuse of free hosting for malicious purposes an issue for you?

Yeah I still don't get this. I hate that I can't secure a Macbook. But pretty much every cheap laptop comes with a kensington lock hole. Sure it is not _super_ secure but being able to leave my laptop for 1 minute in a public plac

Microsoft App Center: You can upload your APKs to MS App Center and create a link without login requirements. The additional Distribute SDK will notify users about new app updates when the app is running. You could probably setup an own rep

Oh wow, this is true for me as well. Need to check if the app permission is required or if the location tracking works separately through some system service.

One of my favourite talks. Very entertaining. I've watched it 3 times already. He also has a talk about mining data from German Railway (Deutsche Bahn) which is good.

I created a profile on a freelancer portal. I got 3 calls and a LinkedIn message from recruiters the same day. After 3 weeks, I was able to sign a project contract.

I choose my job based on the commute time. One month after starting, covid hit and I worked remote only. Then I heared from freelancer friends that now almost all their projects became remote only as well. I quit my job a few months ago and

A Pixel phone with this feature would be reason enough for me to upgrade from a Pixel 3a. Just let me play games via HDMI out and a bluetooth gamepad.

This shows that there is room for a well designed, easy menu app. No ordering, no separate app installs, no mandatory accounts for the end-customer, no PDF menus. Native app clip / instant app is a also a good use case for this if you

Highly focused development crunch time is "refreshing" from time to time. And since the involved engineers probably got pretty good salaries, it's hard to feel sorry for anyone. But as I always say: Don't let a managemen

True. There are just too many. I should still improve my knowledge of git, gradle, intelij, various command line tools, docker and so on. That by itself isn't to much but all this stuff comes on top of just staying up to date with the

Anecdote: As a young intern at a German bank I was sent to talk to an older colleague (probably in his 50s, no idea for how long he already works for the bank). I needed him to look up some account number or ID in a data export he had. 1. H

In contrast, I am sure we all know some older people who were not in prisson for the past 30 years and still don't know how to write an email, what a zoom call is or when it's appropriate to double-click vs single click items on a

Steam for PC Gaming. At first, it was just annoying DRM. But it was convenient. - Before that, you had to manually update your games in order to play the latest version - Without no-cd cracks, you were required to leave a CD / DVD in y

This is my new favorite ban reason. "Reviewer glanced over functionality and decided that a required feature is probably not implemented although it is implemented. Ban immediately on a Saturday."

Interesting. Now that you mention this, it makes sense. It worked as an offline MP3 player before if I remember correctly. Quite unfortunate that they decided to remove this functionallity as well with the update.
