I was hoping for more content on AR and the next phase of the Apple Vision Pro. Is the Apple Vision Pro considered a failure at this point?

Is there a mandated state ratio of workers to children? In Michigan, by law, it is 1:4. It is great to offer free childcare to all citizens, but if those childcare facilities are inadequately resourced the quality of care will decline.

Assuming you are in the States, it would be cheaper to enroll in one course a year and use the universities library system to get the papers you need. What always bothered me about those though is their terribly clunky UI, dozens of redirec

I am speculating, but I think the real motive for cancelling renewables is to appeal to coal counties in the USA. Coal is in a scary place right now in the US, see this as an example: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork&#

I was also confused. In our organization all PR’s must always be reviewed by a knowledgeable human. It does not matter if it was all LLM generated or written by a person. If insecure code makes it past that then there are bigger issues - wh

In my experience enterprises do not want to pay for excellent software, simply because it is expensive. I would love to work on software that was: - in more than two AWS regions - required screen reader / disability support - required

The only way I’ve ever seen engineers care about PR’s is if the software or product is tied directly to their paycheck. If uptime or bugs directly impact a quarterly bonus, or result in a layoff / getting fired, they spend a lot more t

The cited article is a better source, and it was written a month ago. I am not sure why this is making the rounds now. They cite 99.9%, and “reduce the risk”, not 100% like this sub article claims. https://www.gilead.com/new

Ideally the git history provides the “why was this test written”, however if you have one Jira card tied to 500+ AI generated tests, it’s not terribly helpful.

It also makes the code easier to read, and that is what our org optimizes for, all else being equal. Code is read 10x more than it is modified, so if you can make it a little quicker to understand it’s generally recommended.

Well, allegedly Apple could have designed, advised and tested the solution, and if a contractor builds it, then the statement is technically correct. Apple (and many other organizations) contracts work out for liability reasons, this is not

Yes but also it is one of the most common programming questions for non-FAANG companies. Are grads not preparing for interviews? It is one google search to Jeff Atwood’s blog.

Or, alternatively, the crop of current grads education is abysmal compared to past graduates, and companies are reluctant to hire them. This is the first graduate class since Covid. Pivoting to online learning quickly resulted in worse lear

As a new parent, it’s money. Daycare costs $400 USD per week in my area, from 7am-6pm, 5 days a week. So for one child that is roughly 20,000 USD annually. Once you hit the 3-5 kid mark, it usually does not make sense for the spouse to work

At a macro level, killed games are a good thing for gaming companies. It creates a shortage of playable games so that new games sell and continue to make money. The biggest competitor to the video game industry is movies (Netflix, Disney pl

You don’t. However, that risk is mitigated with a simple, easy to use return policy, where you actually get your cash back (not airline vouchers or points or made-up things to keep you in the ecosystem).

I’ve started resorting to the “x bought this month” metric instead. If a product works for thousands of people and they continue to buy 500+ units a month, clearly it is a good option. If it does end up being a bad buy, Amazon typically has

Every system has problems. The better question is: what is the acceptable threshold? For an example Medicare and Medicade had a fraud rate of 7.66%. Yes, that is a lot of billions, and there is room for improvement, but that doesn’t mean t
