Here's the dirty little secret of app crashes on Android: many of these apps use some pretty horrid drm code that will only run on known versions of Android. So every new version of Android, you get a crash because it doesn't reco

This is the kind of attitude that leads to bad hiring outcomes. It is guaranteed to be screening out classes of people, like single parents, candidates who may have a full time job as they are finishing their school work, people who care fo

I mean, unless it's 100% it's not very useful. Maybe if it does the trancode and can then tell you where in the code to look for problems. Otherwise, you would have to spend a lot of time looking at the code to figure out what wen

Unfortunately, this has become a weird pattern on twitter. Someone asks for help to identify someone, people put up suspects, and the mob decides if one person said they did it, they must have done it. Twitter is, literally, a cesspool of m

I think you may have confused qualified immunity a bit. It has nothing to do with criminal proceedings and is only talking about civil penalties. The reason it's such a big deal is that it can be very difficult to get prosecutors to ch

Evidence is starting to trickle out that a lot of the lock downs may not have been the best move. Like the 66% of New York City people getting covid at home during the lock down. The problem is that most of the lock downs weren't actua

At 2:50 the person puts the level on the book, and it's clearly not level. It's not badly off, but then again, the phone doesn't move really fast. When the phone is on the level table, it's also not moving, but maybe the

That statements assumes that all black people have a problem with Trump, which is definitely not true. So what about the black people that support Trump, are they stupid, are they bad people? It also implies all black people are the same, w

You are making a lot of assumptions, one is that the managers weren't laid off too. In that case, there is nobody to do a 1:1 with. Do you know the worst thing about a layoff, knowing that people are being laid off and not knowing what

If they are talking about Java APIs, it's not that these APIs are hidden, it's some functions that were never exposed are being misused by apps using reflection. Some of this functionality has been allowed to be used by apps becau

The problem is how you calculate the increase in salaries. For example, how is the salary of different people going up or down. Is the salary right out of college going up? Are only senior engineer salaries stagnate? I think you really need

While your bank may have screwed up, it's also possible that you were further down the list than you know. And while it sucks if your bank prioritized other people ahead of you, it might be that they had valid reasons, even if it hurt

To add to that, these stats can tend to be skewed a bit. For example, is it a school shooting if someone shoots a gun while at a school that closed for the day? Is it a school shooting if it's at a school that is completely closed down

What are you talking about? The US is at the top of the handling of the crisis. You could definitely critique Trump and the fact he can't keep from saying some of the most ridiculous and petty things, but even Gavin Newsom has complim

We all know that Bloomberg is in the pocket of the CCP, but it's sad to see that his news is too. To be fair, it's more likely that he has lots of business relations with China so wants to be overly friendly with the CCP so they d

Weird article. It kind of feels like a puff piece to rehabilitate Bob Iger's image. He's now being touted as the savior of Disney, not the person who nearly killed Disney then walked away (or maybe was forced to walk away). In rea

I'm sure you get good outcomes from this, but I'd be willing to bet you are completely weeding out whole classes of people. For example, most parents or caregivers (single or otherwise) don't necessarily have the time for thi

I'm tired of seeing this bashing of the administration. Do I think they did a great job, heck no. But I think they are doing a relatively good job. It seems to be this prayer people keep repeating, the administration screwed this all u

If you are being paid well, being treated well by your employer, you might not abuse paid sick leave. Or have a very low rate of it. If you are not being paid well, maybe people would abuse the policy more often. I don't think you can

I don't think that proves anything one way or another. For example, it could mean that there are a smaller number of really obese people in America who are driving up the numbers. Therefore, there are fewer obese people in America when

The thing about performance is that it's almost always a trade-off. For very mature projects, you hardly ever get a win on everything, you usually get an increase here and a decrease over there. It's very likely that optimizing fo
