I don't get the quotes. Not sure whether you're mocking or hinting at my use of the word partner as being incorrect in this context or you are downplaying the seriousness of (romantic) relationships outside of marriage. Well, if i

Which is basically the same what I've said and fundamentally different from what the GP hinted at.

I don't exactly whiteboard, because in the past several years I've only interviewed online and while I'm looking for the same qualities, I found that (a simple) coding challenge does help with determining these. (I'm als

In our case it wasn't the point. It was more about the plug and play (literally, since it was a background music service) vs "install and then keep it running all the time". We had a local competitor and funny enough they pit

Yep, but in this case the name is exactly the same. (Although I never understood the choice for the original one either. But that's a pretty interesting story of a solo dev guy who really just cared about his product and not growing a

Depends on the purpose, I guess. If the point is just to convey information, ideas, then yes, write simply. If the purpose is to, at least in part, to entertain, then don't. Thinking about the entertainment perspective and e.g. the jou

It's not whether they realize what it means as per the intent of the service provider, it's about what people think it means for other people. Since we're talking about an email service. I.e. I guess it's one thing to em

But why would you do that? I mean if that's you money, why would you ask your partner? I'm pretty frugal, don't spend on stupid things easily (well, things that I find stupid, at least), but if I had a business idea or even

Is Superpowered really a wise name choice? If you look at https://superpowered.com/ , you'll see that it's in use by another startup. They're doing something completely different (mobile sound SDKs), but stil

This has been a usual business model for larger vendors (and servers): selling appliances. Google also did it (I think it was for intranet search), it was also one of the story threads in the Silicon Valley sitcom (see "the box").

Nokia smartphones had http+html browsers back in 2001. I don't know how many mobile optimized sites were there, but the browser on my 9210 was pretty usable (though not everything worked, of course). I used to save full pages on my des

Well, intuitions can sometimes be completely off. But of course, tit-for-tat is just a general strategy it doesn't mean that you have to apply it blindly, without e.g. tuning the parameters. And, as far as I can remember, there are sli

If nothing else, it definitely raised the awareness. The thing with cookies and tracking is that it's invisible. Especially for the average Joe users. But even I was surprised when, thanks partly to these dark patterns and not letting

I don't know. Again: I think the killer feature was the whole UX. Slow response times is definitely disturbing. (All my android phones got into this state sometimes.) You just don't get that feeling, but it couldn't possible

Well, capacitive is what we have today. The old ones, that you actually had to push (and not just touch) were resistive :)

Maybe. But the author says speed IS the killer feature (for products) so it has to be true at the higher level too. UX is the perception of the user of the product and their, well, experience using the product. If it's generic it&#x2

He's kind of totally wrong about the phones and thus the speed being THE killer feature. First of all, Symbian phones, which were the market leader smartphones when the iphone was released were pretty fast. So were feature phones (i.

It is, but there are a huge number of web sites. And I don't think automation is possible unless you are only allowed to use an approved consent script.

This pattern is kind of like what MicroSoft did in the ninties with their license agreement: it was contained in the shrink-wrapped box and the agreement said that by opening the shrink-wrap you've accepted the terms. These accept-only

You can be forced to choose, i.e. you can be presented with a popup. And that popup should have both a reject (opt-out) and an accept (opt-in) option. Well, the latter is not needed but otherwise it wouldn't make sense. Now a lot of s

Reload probably means that they have implemented it fully on the server side. So the cookie (about the cookies) gets set through the server, or worse, they initially send down the cookies and then clear them with the reload. If you are talk

Again: you either invest into a realty, that happens to be your home, so that you don't have to pay rent, or you pay a rent and you invest into something else. You have to always consider the opportunity cost before you decide which

Not too many people work for 50 years. Also, the post said every two years: "every two years that goes by at a company you don't like".

Yep, I almost wanted to add that as well. TA doesn't work and I think this has been (kind of) proven. Though if you look into it just superficially, you'll see that it's a total sham/self deception. However, it does not

If a lot of people will start running it, it will lose profitability (assuming it is profitable now). The same software acting on the same set of signals means the signals will be cleared pretty quickly.

Add -n to the second sort to actually get a numerically (as opposed to lexically) sorted list. Also, here (using bash on linux) awk needs $2 instead of $4. It doesn't catch the pipes, because you are parsing the command lines as entere
