Feels like there might have been a mistake on the job listing. It’s listed as mid-senior, with the same salary band as the roles this would be managing.

An interesting, if slightly dated, comparison between 22 countries’ vacation taking habits (including US + some of Europe). Remarkable how little vacation allowance the US gets. No wonder only around a 3rd of Americans own passports. https

TL;DR: Author is returning because it’s expensive, had some bugs with the apps they were running and they didn’t get the performance they were expecting (unoptimised apps seem to be the culprit). The bugs mentioned, sporadic crashes across

Quite a strong statement to make, not one that I know enough about to argue either way. Do you have any references you could link to to back up your statement? I’m genuinely curious what you’re referencing.

Wasn’t sure if you were being serious but sure enough: “Thorn, a U.S. 501(c) (3) organization founded by Hollywood star-turned venture capitalist Ashton Kutcher and his former partner Demi Moore, has been a central force lobbying for the le

My Rottweiler adores watching TV, same issue though - I’ve got to keep an eye on her or else she’ll go ahead and give the tv a pretty big (and potentially destructive) boop with her nose to check if the animal she just saw on the screen is

Agreed, a high end machine in the Air form factor would be great. The M2 is more than enough compute-wise for my SWE workflow, but it's not a great deal once you start bumping the RAM and adding storage when compared to the base 14 inc

“Semi-dormant tissue cysts form in the brain, eyes and heart muscle, persisting the infection for life” “Can also infect humans” Well that doesn’t give me nightmares at all.

A bit of a stretch to call it “unpatchable”. The end of the article concedes it’s more that Sony doesn’t seem interested in patching it, presumably they don’t think it’s a sufficient threat (I tend to agree). Yes, the PS2 emulator is bundle

There was a similar situation during the pandemic in the UK, I know of individuals whose parents in the PRC were contacted by the authorities to “encourage” their kids studying abroad to stay abroad, lest they risk bringing covid back home.

N4 is still (despite the name) part of TSMC’s 5nm process family and offers little to no performance/efficiency improvement over N5P. N4 increases the number of EUV layers so the main improvements should be in cost and yield which woul

Made a point not to install Docker on this machine. Honestly loved it when I first tried it. Usually have like 20-25 tabs open in safari, a VS Code instance (sometimes two), a Nextjs app + express backend running against a local Postgres. T

It’s viable but you’ll spend a lot of time with memory compression/swap working hard. Not a great experience IMO. Looking forward to upgrading from the 8GB air to a 24GB air now.

For context the UK is already massively invested in wind turbines, with a lot more investment going into off-shore farms. On a good windy day, current capacity might satisfy ~40% of grid demand and this will only increase. However, the wind

Yes, a few times if I recall correctly. It's just not particularly accessible treatment (for HIV) as it requires the complete destruction of the host immune system and essentially 're-growing' a new one - hence this is usuall

That’s the expectation. Rumours suggest the form factor of the mini will be slimmed down too, given there’s a lot of excess space in the chassis from the Intel days.

Haven’t used cash since the pandemic started in the UK. Covid encouraged even market traders and street food vendors to move to contactless payments - which were just about the final holdouts.

I’m not terribly up to date with IPFS (so feel free to correct me), but if I’ve understood it correctly, it’s not dissimilar to Bittorent where files are seeded by interested parties and if no one happens to be seeding any longer, the file

I’m not even sure it’s that deep. Having listened to some of David Sinclair’s work, he talks about how modern medicine doesn’t see old age as an illness to cure, hence it not getting any funding. It’s just accepted that you get old and your

As a non-US based individual, I find it fascinating that the news outlets there go out of their way to capitalise all usages of “Black” where it refers to skin colour, and lowercase any mentions of “white” skin colour. For an outsider, the

Perhaps they’re assuming a cinematic frame rate of 24fps for streaming video and matching the refresh rate to that versus whatever refresh rate an iPhone 12 Pro has - guessing 60hz? Still seems a big increase but maybe the combination of th
