In iOS, when you take a photo, by default it actually takes a very short video clip and calls it a "live photo." If you receive a live photo, you can tap and hold on the photo and it will play the video, which sometimes includes a

I generally have the same thought process (rather go through ISP than VPN) but one angle of this thought that I've struggled with is: what makes my ISP any less of a rando than the VPN that I choose? At least I have more choices with m

While I agree with the "no app is bigger than Apple," I'm not sure the TikTok ban is specifically about TikTok. This opens the door to each state doing similar things for whatever they want -- imagine Alabama banning period-t

I love the idea of social media alternatives in general, but one of the big hurdles with any social network is discoverability. It's one thing to publish my thoughts on a site like this, but if nobody sees it (and I can't find oth

Fantastic book. I've been a long time fan of Amal and Max for a long time, and it was kinda crazy to watch this happen in real-time. I'm happy for both of them!

This feels kind of premature to me. I'm enjoying the new code search. It has its issues, but who amongst us has delivered a perfect feature on day 1? It's already a big improvement over the old code search on UI enhancements alone

I can't speak to whether Google Maps was listening at all, but you can verify whether it is by opening Google Maps at home on your wifi network, and inspecting the traffic using something like Wireshark. What's more likely to have

I have sort of a dumb feature that I've always wanted but I don't know enough about writing editors coding to build it. I use Scrivener these days for writing, and I have a Characters tab and a Places/Locations tab. Basically

There's nothing wrong with recruiters. They are there to help you find a job. Companies have in-house recruiters, and recruiting agencies get paid by the company that hires you (at least in the US). They're basically a free servic

It'd be easier if I had local friends, honestly! I made a lot of friends in the last 10 years, and over time, they've all moved away from where I live to other places. My best friends are 500, 1700 and 2000 miles away, respectivel

That's also a great story! For me it's a lot less about them getting what they paid for and more about me recognizing that my own life matters, too. If we have a conversation as adults and agree that I should work +X more hours pe

You may be overthinking this just a little bit. The HTTP spec[0] is IMO pretty clear about what each verb is. > POST > The POST method submits an entity to the specified resource, often causing a change in state or side effects on the

Don't let "already exists in my local market" stop you. Look at how many pizza places exist in your local market! In almost any market, there's room for competition, especially with an eye toward lifestyle business (as o

Like others said, the market is really, really tough right now. Like, REALLY tough. You and I are roughly the same age, and we've never faced this kind of market before. It has always been relatively easy to land a job. That's not

Like any other skill, it all comes down to practice, practice, practice. There's no fast track to excellence. You need to just do whichever soft skill you want to master over and over again until it becomes second nature. It's a l

Hiring manager here. The market is really tough right now for finding new jobs. If I had a job that was "fine" and "meh", I'd take that boring safety over the risk of being a candidate in this market. The market i

My current company does them. I think they're too often. It's very webinar-like, and there's little-to-no time for Q&A. I would prefer an annual or semi-annual webinar-style all hands, and then have departmental all-hands

Ironically, the hiring managers wants you to take the test so they can decide if you're worth their time first. It's quite a pickle.

This is neat, but I don't know what a ramen meter is. I'm assuming it's donations for an OSS project that may or may not be enough to buy ramen? Maybe a quick explanation would be helpful!

This article appears to be comparing MQTT and Kafka + Schema Registry. Using Schema Registry is not required to use Kafka, so OP overcomplicated their own set up for this comparison. There's no argument that Schema Registry is valuable

Director-level here. The chances of your manager knowing ahead of time about layoffs is pretty low, and having been in leadership during a few rounds of layoffs, I can confirm that middle- and lower-management often only find out about the

My struggle with JSON Schema is that not everyone uses it! I do a lot of work with various APIs and ingestion systems that accept JSON, but they don't provide a JSON Schema for me to validate my payloads against. Instead, I often have

The human brain thrives of novelty and exploration. When things get repetitive, your brain starts tuning it out. When you first learned to drive, it took focus and initiative and it was exciting. You had freedom! You could go fast! Your fri
