I’ve mentally given up trying to fight open workspaces and hotdesks. Arguing about why it’s become the standard doesn’t help me. So I either work from home when I feel like doing intense work, or I’ve accepted that my productivity isn’t goi

For me that’s exactly the problem with JIRA. Each team I’ve worked with uses a different board, workflow, and what not. I still don’t understand the hierarchy. And since it is infinitely configurable, the UX is just horrible. It’s not optim

Genuine question: is getting pulled over in the US really that hazardous that people have to record it in case things go wrong?

I’m guessing that’s an indication that it’s prohibitively expensive for small organisations?

Able to reboot fine on iOS 12 after the crash. Safari didn’t try to reopen closed windows as well.

I love Easter eggs like this one! I usually put in a secret route in web apps/APIs that I build that spits out a silly meme. Not that anyone will find out, but still gives me joy. P.S would’ve been even more awesome if Antirez could’ve

As an Indian developer, I cringe every time the government claims a system is un-hackable. Especially when contracts are handed to one of the big Indian IT companies. Having started my career in one of those companies, I saw firsthand how m

My comment was in the context of having used Golang. It maybe a personal experience as I primarily come from dynamic, weakly typed languages, and TypeScript and Golang are my first serious foray into typed languages.

I wasn't in India when it happened, but from what I've heard, bank employees were bribed directly (my dad is a retired bank employee). They took a 30% share for converting illegal money to new currency and kept it off the records.

I love typescript as a JavaScript developer, but having used go for personal projects, I find the type system complex (maybe necessarily so). Having said that, I cannot thank TS enough for how it’s made life easier when working on and refac

I really hope the final product will support more bands! I’ve been putting off buying an Android phone since I heard about the Librem 5 and this will be a deal breaker.

Agreed! The content in Australia is already pretty poor, and its been getting worse lately. Mostly dominated by Netflix's releases which wildly varies in quality. I kind of miss having a good cable subscription where you could watch ev

Have never seen cake in a Hindu wedding. This is the first I’m hearing about it.

I'm guessing OP meant the top readily available model and not the customised one with everything maxed out.

Although the upgrades are pretty neat, doubling down on the touchbar and keyboard means my current 2017 13” MBP will mostly be my last. There are good options these days and the Apple premium price isn’t worth it IMO!

The new design is bad enough that I have significantly reduced the time I spend on Reddit. Now if they retire the old site, I can kick one social media addiction.

Going to a psychologist for my anxiety. Learning to manage and control it before it becomes panic has been just awesome. It’s just been two months and I’m already hopeful.

As an Indian who used to travel in trains quite a lot, this is news to me. Was it only for particular routes? And sources I can read?

Second this. I take privacy pretty seriously and their track record has been better than their competitors so far. I don’t care if they are riding a popular public opinion as long as it leads to a better outcome for their users.

Genuine question: is there definite proof that phones and services (Siri/Alexa/Google assistant) are NOT listening and recording everything? I've always refused to use those services because I have no idea what kind of data t

I realised this after consuming two coffees a day - one in the morning and one after noon. I used to struggle with insomnia and used to sleep only by 2:00 AM frequently. After a few days of missing out my afternoon coffee, I started to noti

I love hyperapp! As someone who thinks Elm’s architecture is ideal for building webapps, it’s great to be able to almost replicate it in JS. It’s simple enough to get started quickly but still robust enough to build actual apps and not just

I’ve stopped myself from getting the 1Password subscription for exactly this reason. I’m still comfortable using the standalone version as I have control of my keychain.

After days of looking around, I purchased the Pi 3 B+ for one simple reason: cost. The price of the other boards like the Tinker or BeagleBoard Black is almost twice the price of the Pi here in Australia.

That’s quite an arrogant statement. You may not care, but as one among a billion Hindus, we certainly do.

As a Hindu, this saddens me as well. Even though I’m not religious, it was a symbol of prosperity. I sometimes wonder how centuries of history can be appropriated and misrepresented by one bad actor.
