I’m not familiar with that notation, can you provide some guidance on what those different pronunciations sound like in layman‘s terms?

Professional improvement plan. Basically when a large company wants to fire you they often put you on a PIP first which specifies areas where you are underperforming and metrics for improvement and a timeframe where you have to demonstrate

I used to work at a place like that, it was incredibly frustrating and time-consuming. So I came up with a solution that works even if S3 is blocked: I built https://github.com/OkGoDoIt/UploadAndPaste and set up SCP f

For more information, there's a much more in-depth demo in the "Platforms State of the Union" session, which is now posted at https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/103/

Define consent. Because I’m pretty sure the only outcome of this will be some new language tucked away in the fine print of every customer’s monthly bill giving consent unless they cancel service or something like that.

I used TurboTax for Windows for the first time this year to do my taxes. Since I don’t trust them as a company, I set firewall rules to block all internet access to the program and all its other helper programs. It refused to run until I co

Everything is a leaky abstraction at some point, the question is how much of a pain is it once you do need to dive underneath? Personally I’ve found debugging and dealing with anything non-standard in React to quickly turn into a huge mess

Several years ago in San Francisco I started volunteering at a nonprofit theater, doing ticket checkin, will call, ushering, and things like that. Since then it’s grown into a much larger part of my life, and I travel all over the West Coas

I’ve been looking for something exactly like this since the demise of Picasa. Just checked out the website, but I can’t figure out your pricing. Is it a one time purchase or subscription? How much does it cost? I’m not going to sign up for

The last paragraph is intriguing: "We’re also curious, as children of the 90s ourselves, does a child who grew up without a continual bombardment of ads end up more susceptible to advertising later in life? Did those early days of bein

Yes, 100% this. I've been trying to articulate the annoyance I have with modern front-end development and this hits the nail on the head. Does anyone know SF companies that take this attitude? I've been interviewing all over at
523.
by OkGoDoIt 7y ago
That seems to be a common attitude with front-end devs these days, to the detriment of web users. The performance impact of React, Angular, any other heavy frontend SPA framework is immense. Plus the extra weight required to get back to f

I imagine between stricter heath codes and higher wages and taxes and all the other costs involved, there’s no way to realistically get Asian style street food in the USA. Seems like the closest I’ve seen if food trucks, but those are often

Sorry for the confusion, this was a smartlock that used a keypad. No phone integration. Actually, I don't think I've ever seen a smartlock in person that uses a smartphone to unlock, although I've heard they exist. Anyway t

by OkGoDoIt 7y ago
It’s worth noting that many smart locks nowadays have flat capacitive-based keypads, which even I as an able-bodied adult have issues pressing accurately. I used to live in a place with a main door that was a smart lock and I loved it, now

Fascinating, I’ve never heard that definition before but it makes a lot of sense.

I hate the way HyperV messes up networking with its virtual network adapters. It gets complicated with a VPN or LTE connection really quickly. Maybe I’m just doing it wrong, but I’ve never found networking to work properly on a machine with

Ads are much harder to block on mobile. Especially on iOS, it's nearly impossible to block ads in a native app. There are some tricks you can do with a VPN but the coverage isn't great and it's error-prone enough that I don

I think there's also a distinction about what you get in return. When I let Google track my location, I get useful hyper relevant results for searches. When I let it track my emails, I get useful flight reminders and package delivery

On iOS, 3rd party keyboards block access to the voice typing function which is a dealbreaker for me. At least on my iPhone SE, it takes so long to switch between a 3rd party keyboard and the iOS keyboard to use voice typing that it's t

by OkGoDoIt 7y ago
I agree, I made the switch a few years ago when I couldn't find a single good Android phone that wasn't huge (and yes, I tried the Sony Z3 Compact, it had way too many issues). The iPhone SE had just come out with flagship specs

This seems like a major issue given they are doing more and more machine learning inference on-device and android is trying to standardize on a framework for on-device ML inference. Assuming that the Pixel Visual Core is a generic tensor pr

To clarify, HK$30k is around USD$4k. Is that monthly salary? That can’t be the annual salary for such an intense job in a city with a higher cost of living than San Francisco.

At least the calendar aspect of this has existed for over a decade. Similarly there are standardized protocols for handing sever-based contact lists and email and chats. Sure most of those protocols are crappy but you’ll just use a library

I mostly agree, I’ve been a .net developer for over a decade and the current state of things is very wonky. For the past couple years I’ve been unsure where to focus my efforts to make sure I don’t wind up in another situation where I get v

It feels like this should work over a local network without requiring an internet connection. Or are you focused on just using SSID as a form of authentication for chat rooms on the internet? If so, what's to stop me from setting my

It’s my understanding that you can’t personally electronically file taxes unless you go through one of the free file software providers. As someone who makes W-2, 1099, and stock market income, I have never found a way to file for free unle

I'm looking forward to the day that a technology like this is safe or simple enough for widespread commercial use. I would be concerned about the safety of brain surgery, but lots of people get lasik which uses lasers to cut your eyes

That corporate ownership aspect is actually a good point. I'm not well-versed on the legal complexities of international ownership or the pros and cons of corporate governance in that situation, but it's definitely something wort
