It's an intentional feature of the product, though? It sounds like they're specifically designed not to obstruct exhalation. Why would you be skeptical of that?

Except two of the biggest platforms they've been focusing on are the web and Android, and they've publicly stated that they don't necessarily see the future as a Windows-world. Azure is the only platform that I see these effo

Right now they seem to have an enormous theme of winning over developers, of all kinds, for all platforms. I would say it's to sell them tools, but most of the recently-headlining MS tools have been free. Maybe it's just to garner

Is it possible you priced yourself out? If you were a "ninja" in SF for a decade, and then you're trying to find those kinds of salaries at "regular" software companies elsewhere in the United States, that could be

And yet Apple's walled garden is stronger and hasn't had anywhere near the malware problem that Google's has? I don't understand your point. Privacy is where these companies' interests might not be aligned with us

There's a factor, though, that never seems to find its way into this conversation: the native web handles a lot of client-side state (model) for you, for free . We forget this because React and Vue elevate things like temporary input

That Slack chart is horrifying because unlike most cases of "features are more complicated than they appear", everything in this chart is user-facing . No Slack user is going to be able to follow all of this to know for sure how

The other thing I've always heard is that taking more than the recommended amount is pointless, because your kidneys filter it out. I definitely wouldn't take the time to adjust to an even higher dose. I was mainly only taking t

I read up on this because I had a really bad sinus infection a couple months ago and found myself taking "Emergen-C" every morning, which advertises "1000% your daily value of Vitamin C". Immediately after my sinus infec

I would agree with you if there weren't so many case studies of other countries solving those problems with those exact, "blunt"-seeming solutions.

I see that motion as the status quo. The velocity, maybe even the acceleration, towards enriching the 1% is the status quo. This is how things will continue to go if people leave the system alone, pandemic or not.

There's truth here, but - and this is getting into subjective territory - it's my belief that none of the other candidates came by those platforms through conviction. I think they measured what voters wanted to hear, measured what

Yes, this exactly. These problems are absolutely possible to solve through political action. But our leaders have had ample opportunities, spread out over more than a decade, to do so. And they've sent a clear signal that they simply

Interesting train of thought, but most of the example feel to me like overly-specific, "premature optimization". The thing is, software developers are already roughly incentivized to optimize for efficiency. And UX designers are a
