If this was the case, then it would not hurt their chances to hire people much if they were open about it, saying that hiring was conditioned on closing the next round for example. But in both cases the message was clearly the opposite and

Yeah the trial work was not my suggestion, it was part of the process. But I don't think it's a bad idea in itself, I've always been a proponent of it, as long as it's handled well.

I meant more that it seems sort of pointless, they did pay for it, and at a reasonable rate - I would have done it as a 1-3 week project if they had asked, and they also invested a lot of time into the process so it seems very unlikely.

Because eating nothing is not sustainable for more than a few weeks. If you have that slow of a metabolism then you should either build more lean mass and get more active, which drives up the metabolism, or eat less. One way to eat less wit

Why? It's almost trivial to do it in OpenGL or Metal and the result will be better.

You can actually do it in UIKit by chopping it up into strips and using affine transforms, I've seen it done. Not that I think this is UIKit, it's probably a very simple OpenGL shader.

I like it. Not only do I think it looks pretty nice, it makes sense visually since it would be weird to scroll away the book title only to scroll it back in for the next page.

On the contrary it's very, very easy, in both directions. They made integration very simple and powerful

1. Swift is not slower than objective-c 2. They could keep this in Objective-C if they wanted to 3. It's most likely done on the GPU anyway

by Grustaf 4y ago
It's probably done on the GPU, requiring almost no power at all. As far as 3d graphics goes, it's very very simple.

If you can move a heavy object using less energy than others move a much lighter object, then it would seem that you are quite efficient. Unless we're talking about constant speed in a vacuum.

A tesla weighs 2-3 times more than a compact car, so that means it must be extremely efficient pound for pound. Nevertheless, I doubt many people, until recently, bought Tesla's because of (ostensible) environmental concerns.
227.
by Grustaf 4y ago
Tesla is indeed a strange choice for a simile, considering that Tesla cars use prodigious amounts of energy compared to other electric cars, or other cars in general. I doubt they're even more environmentally friendly overall than a co

Why would it be different to raise money through a SPAC if you're capital intensive?

Almost everything was unclear to me, but then I'm not familiar with the Game of Life lingo. Perhaps it would make sense to write a version that the educated public can understand, even without any Life background?

Here are two obvious ways that work (I've used both): - Save up for a 3 month runway, for example by freelancing on the side of your day job. - Do the startup on the side. Potentially dialling down you day job effort to 75%. Most start

I don't even know how to process this. It doesn't jibe with my experience at all. Obviously almost anyone can tell the difference between red and white wine, they are completely dissimilar, like orange juice and apple juice. It&#x

I constantly thought about this as a child, it was hard to imagine how gravity would work inside the mass that creates the gravity.

The problem with QR menus is not that they are inefficient, often they're very efficient. It's that it's impersonal and demeaning, the waiters are reduced to food carriers.

There are a billion iphone users and so far no touchid “data leak” has occurred as far as I know. Not even sure what it would mean, since your face/fingerprints are only stored on device. But even if I had to setup touchid or faceid ev

FaceID uses a 3d camera, so a photo is not enough.

I don't think the sentiment that "typing a password is easier to use than FaceID or TouchID" is very common.

Perhaps, but the quadratic formula only takes a minute to learn, so you can't expect it to yield as much as a day of shed building. Also, NOT knowing the quadratic formula will make it much harder to solve hundreds of other math relate

And it is used later on, probably every day until you graduate. Most people probably won't use it at their jobs, but things that are useful during your studies are useful period.

Not really, because they _were_ aware of being "about to push" the button.
