I’ve been hearing this argument for years now. Years of pain, and I still don’t feel like we’re any closer to this supposed future. Maybe it was a mistake?

I worked in multiple companies that used streaming rather than physical connections for meeting presentations, and they were always so much worse and less reliable than just using a cable, dongle or not. Best case scenario it worked but the

It’s even worse in MacOS. No matter how much I try to use Mac, I am always so disoriented by the filesystem and the “Finder” (filesystem browsing interface).

Yeah, that was a really great book. Also has a well-produced narration available on Audible that I listened to. I recommend it.

According to the FAQ there is a prototype implementation of it in one of the clients, and apparently once that stabilizes they will standardize it on other clients. Looks like it’s a work in progress, not an oversight

If you’re on windows you can use AutoHotKey to map a key or key combination of your choice to route to the spacebar in zoom, regardless of focus. I’ve done something similar for media control for apps that don’t have global hotkeys.

Nope, and that’s the biggest blocker for me. I own multiple smart phones (work and personal), iPad, and two computers (windows and Mac). So far Facebook messenger is the only reliable way to do messaging across all of them, which is a shame

A thousand small issues add up to a product that is technically usable, but incredibly frustrating. I tried using notion a couple times, but I can’t imagine why anyone would want to use this. Microsoft OneNote was a much better product a de

It doesn’t matter if it’s false or where people got the information, what matters is a surprisingly large amount of people honestly do believe it. Including most of my extended family, various friends in Georgia and Michigan, and even sever

Regardless of your opinion on Chinese politics (or your opinion on California politics for that matter), Shenzhen is absolutely blowing up. Just talking with random tech and startup people there, you feel an energy and optimism that is hard

Basically all of that applies to Atlanta as well, if you prefer weather that’s too hot and humid over whether that’s too cold and snowy.

Now that is perspective I’d like to hear more about, considering how much my peers whine about how things would’ve been better if they moved to the bay area long ago and it’s all crappy nowadays. That’s not nearly as much change as I would’

Is this a snarky comment or is this an actual experience that’s happened to you or someone you know? I’m genuinely curious, I can definitely imagine hospitals trying something like this…

On the other hand, try calling ahead to various dentists in order to find the one that has the cheapest price for the procedure you need to have done. Surprisingly difficult. Not as impossible as in other aspects of healthcare, but I spent

Likewise, smart watches used to cost in the neighborhood of $100 until Apple Watch came on the scene and now everyone thinks it’s normal to pay $300 for a smart watch. It was ridiculously overpriced when it started, and it’s still ridiculou

I believe you only get special audio with paired to an iOS device which also includes an accelerometer. So basically iPad and iPhone. Any third-party devices don’t get special audio, as far as I’m aware.

Well for client side code running on a website, it’s your only option. I guess nowadays many client support web assembly, but for all practical purposes you need to use JavaScript to do any client side web programming. On the server the adv

Tangential question, is the new Google Pay a completely separate product from the old Google wallet? Because a lot of the functionality seems to be the same but I get the impression it was probably re-implemented since a lot of that functio

Like with Uber, one of the key features for a long time was there was no way to leave a tip, so there was no awkward question as to whether you should leave a tip. But now they ask for tips so prominently. Am I supposed to leave a tip? Uber

I still haven’t learned to touch type even though I’m in my 30’s and a professional software engineer. Other than people making fun of me, I don’t see the point. Programming has so many symbols and it’s not like I’m limited by my typing sp

I’m also surprised they didn’t bring that back with an M1. Here’s to hoping it will be released next year to balance out the higher end 16” pro and whatever others come out next yet. I had the 12” MacBook for a couple years and the form fac

Other than the syntax, I’m not sure I understand how this is different from any other object-oriented class definition. I suppose the ability to project the module into the local or top-level scope, but that seems more like syntactic sugar

What about the hash of a password cracking binary or the hash of some sort of binary used for piracy or stripping DRM off of something? Or just in general the ability to profile users based on the apps they use seems completely trivial. I i

This is more like Parallels Desktop integration on Mac. It’s Windows in a VM (with all the overhead that entails), showing the rasterized app windows into the Linux desktop window manager and launcher via the remote desktop protocol which i

Worst case scenario you could set firewall rules to not allow external access to the RDP port (3389). You could also set your VM to host-only networking, but in that case Microsoft office wouldn’t be able to use any cloud functionality. Alt

And if someone finds a way around that arbitrary restriction, your company takes them to court for DMCA violation or hacking or something like that? Gotta love the modern world.
