This suit seems to be in bad-faith. Apple actively pursuited this tech but that backlash from the general population due to privacy concerns was simply too high, so they made a business decision to respect peoples privacy (and their bottom

Excuse the potential tin-foil hat but this be "cooking the books" to mask other purchases that are not suppose to be public eg. secret/top secret projects? 8000% seems obscene even for government billing...

Really redminds me of coffeescript, lots of special syntax that doesn't really help readability? I have a hard time understanding the motivation of this project other than syntactic sugar-maxxing JS/TS.

You vastly underestimate helicopter parents.

I'd be careful about this, they explicitly do not want you to use their websocket as a public api (hence the obfuscation in their protocol), I wrote a JS library and opted not to play cat and mouse with them.

The furry part is most certainly true.

Tangential: I live in a rather rich suburb in the US, there are barely ANY billboards, drive ~10-15 miles away from the city everything is littered with billboards. Most of them advertise what I can only summarize as "probably spam&q

Manually, hence the 2 hours. Authy completely broke all exporting.

Tangentially: I just got rid of Authy, it took me 2h to to migrate everything, moved to apple passwords (yea yea, still propriatary) which has a so far solid export feature. I will never forgive Authy/Twillio for deliberately making ex

The licensing seems.. atrocious (both the wording and pricing), maybe I'm too far disconnected from the space where such applications are used but. I'm unsure which industry would tolerate this.

Isn't the entire point of memoizing this to demonstrate you are able to study/grind rather than prove intelligence? Different companies/managers have give me different reasons for the usage of this style of interview but it w

I don't disagree, hence "fake work" in quotes. Some people may (and clearly do thrive) in such environments but I personally did not. This particular scenario was a simplified excerpt but very well captures my perceived exper

Design doc culture at google is why I left the company. I wrote a very high level doc shortly after joining the company outlining a fairly trivial task (one that has been performed many times across other product areas). A colleague virtual

This is most certainly a maintenance issue, not a production issue since this a part that is often temporarily removed. Not trying to defend boeing but please be aware that these incidents are somewhat common and are currently being disprop

I understand what it does and it certainly has its uses but it has little relation to high definition color usage this blog covers. Can you elaborate on the deprecation part though?

Anyone else irked by the inclusion of `currentColor`? I don't see the relevance.

Tangentially: Writing this at 1:30am, might not be very insightful. We actually are phasing out the use of pm2 in our org since we are already running within kubernetes. And running pm2 within k8s seemed redundant (and is likely a relict of

OpenAI (relatively) hasn't been around for that long, the other 2 are more questionable.

This is kinda nice but will not scale well, you might want to move a quadtree [1] and a canvas, that way you will be able to scale this very well. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadtree

The backends accepts raw HTML markup and people have (unsurprisingly) busted it now, you need not trust the client to send sane data.

Opened stream, immediately saw goatse, you might want to detour `drawImage` and booby trap it to ban anyone using it on the canvas (this is what another website did for a similar project).

I grew up in Germany and never heard about 'retracting' the default tip. The only way I can imagine this is severe complaining to the point where they take something off the bill which I've only ever seen once or twice, where

Anecdote: I reported multiple places where google maps (or in this case the tesla navigation system which runs on the same) gives dangerous instructions. One of them is right here https://www.google.com/maps/@47.6293355
