The comments here interesting but nuts for foreigners. I’m so used to a slight mention of an ombudsman being a 15 second turnaround to almost anything I ask for happening with ISPs / telcos. I worry about buying anything in the USA wit

I'm not sure, I've worked with maybe 30 or so designers in my time and they have only been barely less cross platform than Sketch.* * Anecdote, YMMV

True true, although GA batches these pretty smartly from what I remember.

by aplummer 8y ago
GA is also cached for most users, so the downloading part is non-existent.

It's an IDE whose only existence was due to their _wildly_ popular open source software, so they seem to understand it pretty well...

The point I was making is nobody is forced to vote for anything, which is true. Anyone in the ALP could have voted against the bill and moved to the cross bench. The “get real” response is where the courage comes into play.

Consider than any employee could be threatened physically and capitulate to a demand, and this is just another, not necessarily greater application of force.

I disagree because 1) Bill Shorten goaded the PM to stay late at parliament and pass the bill “to protect Australians” with no amendments on a vague promise. 2) those with courage resign and sit on the cross bench (as we have seen recently)

Insanely it is bipartisan, I think only the greens voted against it.

On your first point, yeah I agree, previous comment called it out. Agree on the last point too.

People are hiring more women because it improves performance and productivity [1]. It is true people would expect you to “change the way you act” so as not to make women literally uncomfortable around you, how outrageous that you should hav

The iOS community is a good indicator that a python style language is preferred, people interview in Swift even for objective c roles.

I wanted to add my 2c that in the mix with whatever else you have, I love a take home. It’s actually building something in my element, IDE, docs, just like real life. You get a chance to show you care with the details. A whiteboard intervie

I mean, I don’t know how many police New Zealand has per capita (I think regarded as the most “free” country) however isn’t it more the application of force than the quantity of police? If they are all directing traffic it’s not a police st

Look I totally agree the U.S and The West has plenty of problems that certainly to a degree match the Chinese issues. I could bang on about the prison industrial complex for hours. However I think a key difference is that on your issues &qu

Ah that would be illegal. The NSA asks Australia to spy on Americans and report back and visa versa. Which is not against the spirit of the law at all /s.

There is an interesting battle going on right now with airlines and hotels that list Taiwan as a country. I can see them extending their worldview when they have leverage first. Don't recognise the spratly islands as china on a map at

You might like the book "The design of everyday things" if you haven't read it already. I find bauhaus design and understanding affordances etc much more interesting than abstract and non functional design. As another note, u

Firebase was a weird transition for us, however the automated network logging has been a life (project) saver. So useful to have it so accessible with just the SDK for reporting performance and reliability issues on the server side.
