Alexandr Wang is 23 years old and he became tech lead at Quora 7 years ago (?!). I assume the guy has been pulling 90 hour workweeks since age of 12 or something. Just wait for your first RSI my young friend, and then we will talk again ;)

When we were young and poor I got my wife HP 2200D for $40. It was in 2010, the printer was already really old and beat. Since then it has printed roughly 200 000 pages for her and God knows how many before we got it. The C4096A toners are

How about relocating or going fully remote with company from overseas? I feel like US market is 10x more demanding than European.

I wrote a few huge class component-based Apps in React and they were working like charm and were very maintainable even for junior programmers. A few days with Redux and development was as easy as in jQuery days. Then we hired a few front-e

Apple puts so much pressure on security, shouldn't it be possible to block ransomware somehow on the OS level, possibly on all platforms? I mean not many apps need to modify millions of files on all drives including network drives and

I'm wondering what's the ratio of IT folks to "others" in Airbnb, I suppose most of the workforce is customer service, human resources, legal and so forth? So maybe this cut won't touch engineering teams at all? Aft

"Good point. If they're wanting to part ways with 25% of the workforce now, covering 3 months of full salary and 12 months of expensive healthcare, they must be expecting fundamental market shifts." Why? Can't they rehir

I love Linux for what it is, for the whole idea, being open, free and "democratic" but I tried using it while my Macbok was in service and oh boy, it's like having a Hackintosh 10 years ago, for work it was bearable but for &

You have to spend less than half a year in your home country to lose its tax residency AND you have to spend over 6 months in some other country. This applies for most if not all European countries: https://europa.eu/youreur

"Now, you should definitely get a CS degree or similar if you want to be a programmer. I would have done a lot better having one even though I got by without it. Also, my career path was ridiculous and is entirely non-replicable."

NASA came up with a follow up article and it seems like there's a lot of fire in Amazon currently "making it the most active fire year in that region since 2010". So looks like it's been worse only 9 years ago and in som

Once they move all products to the ARM (is it even possible? I mean Apple is Apple but they can’t put as much effort into CPUs as Intel or AMD - take a look at the latest Ryzens for example :o) will it kill Hackintoshes?

I’ve seen homeless people in Copenhagen using Macs. It literally blew my mind.

by b212 7y ago
Sometimes I wonder how many people use Macs mainly in clamshell mode. I’ve been doing this for the last 10 years or so because working on a laptop is a huge ergonomy antipattern and Apples keyboards are famous for giving RSI.

But they were perfect until 2015, making them bigger is a downgrade IMO as well. What’s the point of huge trackpad on a 13–15 inch screen?

I'd be really happy to see: a) Apple removing Zoom from the App Store (at least for a fixed amount of time before they patch* this nightmare up), b) releasing an update to MacOS that breaks Zoom's server completely (I know, I&#x27

> A 55 year old on a good insurance plan will often cost you anywhere from $6,000 to $10,000 more per year in healthcare benefits versus a 20-25 year old. Jesus freaking christ I never realised that being European. This is a game changer

How the heck can they deliver so many flats? Poland with 30% of Japan’s population builds roughly 5 times less houses per year and trust me we’re building new blocks literally everywhere. Yet flats are getting much more expensive every year
