I appreciate the concept, as checking out has always been a bottleneck from my experience, so not having to queue up to use awful self-checkout machine is a nice plus. However the SMS-based payment flow is awful and a security nightmare. Ju

Why is "random perks" bad? Isn't the best interest of the company being making the employees happy so they are more productive? The negativity around giving "random perks" makes it feel like you're running a pr

Try contracting; set up as a limited company and offer your services through that.

Haven't happened to me ever, but then I've never used Uber in France. Is there anything you can do in the app like raise a dispute, etc? If not, for 3.26$ I'd just let it go and leave a 1-star review to the driver. Such a rev

LinkedIn is okay if you use it well. I've gotten multiple contracts from there. The platform could use a little maintenance though. The iOS app is an absolute crime and it would be good if there was some moderation. Some recruiters are

Business pricing is not just there for the sake of it, it's mostly used to subsidise infrastructure building costs which can rack up in the tens of thousands. You could potentially negotiate with them on the monthly subscription price

The thing is, I don't really mind if illegal things are happening on a dedicated platform. Users who are determined to break the law will break it anyway, so I don't care if they have a platform explicitly designed for doing so. H

Facebook doing unethical things again. What a surprise. If you think this is an accident, let me remind you that I’ve personally reported a lot of posts breaking their community guidelines and none of them were deleted. I would bet good mon

The Washington Post is the perfect example of this. They have two paid plans, a "Basic" one and a "Premium EU Ad-Free Subscription" promising "No on-site advertising or third-party ad tracking". However, tryi

This model wasn't that bad. Given this was print, the ads were somehow vetted - chumboxes (Outbrain/Taboola) wouldn't exist, because even the shittiest of newspapers would say "What is this bullshit?" and put a stop

I agree with you on the startup time but after that it's honestly not that bad IMO. I'm using it on a tiny 12-inch MacBook with a dual-core processor and it works fine; and doesn't noticeably impact battery life (as opposed

Thanks but no thanks, I'll stick to PyCharm/IntelliJ. At least the latter is using RAM & battery life to do useful things, instead of just running a browser and a glorified web app. Also, it feels like an insult to say Sublime

In an alternate world where the advertising industry is respectful I would agree. In our current world the advertising industry has demonstrated their inability to self-regulate, and even Google isn’t any better (see the recent issues regar

It’s cute that you think asking a hostile actor to be nice and delete data early and not store some of it would actually work when their bottom line directly depends on them doing so. They can very well pretend not to do it while secretly s

Getting my Linux machine to work just right. Since getting a full time job I no longer have the time nor desire to tinker with stuff, so I got a Mac and never looked back.

You can say thanks to Electron for this.

> Did you try sending a personalized email to users that created an account and then stopped using? If I stop using an app the last thing I want is to receive spam (and yeah, to my eyes this would be spam). Don’t do this.

Don’t be creepy. Users don’t expect you to be able to watch how they interact with your app (and what data they enter in it) so don’t.

FYI, Skype is no longer native either. They killed off beautiful native clients and replaced them with Electron shit.

I’d rather spend time actually building great apps than trying to stalk every single thing my users do. I’m sure there will be a market for this (there are a lot of people than don’t give a shit about user privacy and embed every single ana

My MacBook keyboard has just given up the ghost completely, spamming the keys 2 and 3 until I unloaded the kext manually. Now gotta figure out how to get this replaced in a timely manner without leaving my machine for weeks.

An alternative on which you’d waste more time tinkering with it and trying to get it to work than do real work. Oh and you get an inconsistent and absolutely awful UX as a bonus.

I'm just basing this on my own experience where I used to always demand more power (and completely dismissing the new MacBooks and basically anything below 32 GB of RAM) until I realised that actually a low-power machine was perfectly

Do you really need 16GB of RAM, more storage and a beefy CPU? For reference, I'm using a 12-inch MacBook with a dual-core M3 processor and 8 GB of RAM as my daily driver and it's more than enough; this thing somehow runs Intel

How about just avoid email signatures altogether? My email client already tells me your name, no need to repeat yourself.
