   I’m going to push back on this with a simple example. Go to your local hardware store and check out the electric space heater section. There will be a wide variety of units rated for small rooms, medium rooms, and large rooms, based on squa

   iPhone browser performance has run circles around android browser performance on equivalent hardware for like the last 10 years or so. It’s really the secret sauce of iOS.

   I’m talking about the pricing disaster that happened in 2017/2018 where user prices went up from 10x-100x because Google wanted to kill the product without actually killing it.

    I learned GWT in 6 weeks as an intern with 2 years of education! Over-prescribing languages and frameworks in a job posting is definitely a bad idea.

    Discussing objective engineering tradeoffs is not the same as spreading FUD. It's baffling that you are so quick to shut down conversation and get combative. I never implied that there are no mature Go projects, just that the burden of

    With all due respect, is there anything that relies on production grade, highly scalable fish shell scripts, and in an adversarial security context?

    That’s a bit of a slippery slope though and causes maintinence nightmares for mature projects. Let’s say I want to upgrade to a new more secure TLS protocol. If it’s bundled to the language version that may mean changing the entire concurre

    This is about app stores, not web searches. Google Play Store does not suffer from this issue to the same degree at all.

    But I've been assured that the 30% protection racket Apple charges is justified because they spend so much effort curating their store. I'm assured by Apple's latest press release that the web is full of scams and only they c

    There are many different definitions of "small". In this case, number of users probably doesn't make much difference to them, it's more about the number of/complexity of tax laws.

    Dark Sky brought a lot of this powerful forecasting to a hyper-local level. It’s such a shame that Apple bought it up and just…threw it all away. What a waste.

    This is the worst advice but it worked for me: I just stopped caring and let go. I no longer believe that there is any justice in the world, and I accept that I cannot change that so I just look out for myself. It’s a bleak outlook but ever

    I think there has also been a generational change in culture/expectations. Personally even if I’m staying at a nice place I don’t like having someone come into my room and rearrange stuff. I am a neat enough person that I don’t need so

    Have you ever seen the tv news or read the newspaper when they cover a topic related to what you do for a living? Or a specific event you were a part of organizing? They usually have interviews with the “experts” you’re talking about. How d
