Ah, that's why I led of with me being cynical because I am; I absolutely get what you meant and traditionally that is what disruption would be; a new player entering the market and disrupting the incumbents due to the player innovating

Mmm, I get your point but with government orgs, I see it two ways: 1. Form online you fill out 2. They only accept hand-filled (e.g., with pen) documents So I'm not really sure which forms you're thinking of; not doubting they exi

I'm just being cynical here but there is probably some element of truth that there's just nothing to disrupt -- printer manufacturers had the billionaire disruption playbook mastered before billionaire disruption was really a thin

I think they just did the system backwards; the meter/parking placard should just have an etched and URL + branding for the app and the posts at parking spots should just be some UID for parking spots the system has registered. The mai

Addendum (adding as a separate post), but I want to respond to this specifically: > But to forbid me, presumably an adult, is a different thing. I prefer to own my own property. I appreciate you accept responsibility for yourself, but p

Honestly, as much as I like the tech that Rossmann shows, the trappings he wraps his videos in makes it very hard to digest. I feel his arguments always miss the simple fact that he has no idea how much trouble not-including such restrictio

I moved to Russia years ago from the US so I can confirm that the experience is worlds better and that many US institutions never really "modernized". When I left in 2016, I still only had the option to pay my rent with a physical

I think designing "useless" things is actually a really great exercise that forces you to challenge a lot of your biases/assumptions and really flex your muscles. I help teach some people intro-level coding and we practice on

I don't think it's that simple really; it seems like people (not just programmers) are hard to please because the circumstances and available time differ from day to day, and different conversations are better sometimes in email a

Thank you for sharing this, it helps clear up the concern you had a lot. I deal with some big German clients fairly frequently and one of the requirements is "[they] own the entire stack top to bottom, back to front." A lot of da

I don't consider this rude or blunt, but rather incomplete as I really am not sure what points are frustrating for you or what you would hope someone takes away from it -- I'm an outside observer on the cloud subject as I have see

200% recommend this tool. It has saved my workflow for tons of day to day interactions inside the Microsoft/Google/Salesforce ecosystem. I use it daily as Microsoft's handling of sharepoint links is always a mystery and tries

The first entry about adding tcsh is more or less the basis of one of the questions I use in technical interviews for our Linux team. It's less about specifics on tcsh and more just about explaining the hierarchy of linux/unix and

I'd like to ask a follow-up also as I don't do any Mac dev, but has this API been around for a bit then? Like Monterey has been out for a bit and it's a little surprising that this article and the subsequent discussion is onl

Second this, but to elaborate, likely it's because they're using chrome when it runs fast and other browsers when it's not. From my perspective, everything Google does is just an effort to get you stuck in their ecosystem. Ev

I'm actually not sure why this is being downvoted. I'm not a fan of the heavy dependence on Chinese manufacturing as it comes at huge human rights/ecological costs (in that order), but companies typically care about the botto

While I think the article is submitted with that kind of irony, in fact that the CIA* just studied what stymied or frustrated any common hierarchy/organization and formalized it into a process. I resonate with it because I can name per

I would disagree with this read based on the opening email from Mailgun. Especially for an "out of the blue" email, without further context I would personally just delete such an email and forget about it as I really have trouble

But it's not a support trick, it's a "the executive team doesn't want to look embarrassed." Writing the executive team isn't some trick to get real support, it's something that people figured out you could

Death by committee is a real thing and it is a problem you need to architect around, but the answer to this is not to consolidate power. Instead, you build up a structure and system by which decisions can be made and a process that all memb

This is everyone :) I love awk and whenever I __do__ find a task where awk helps me, it's really an amazing experience and it is always a boon, never a burden. But I really suck at remembering the syntax as I only hit tasks that awk so

Honestly, one of the safest and most powerful tools is just to continually ask "why" questions as a result of whatever they say in regards to technical details, with a scattering of "how?" questions. Others in the commen

The latter. The code was very straight forward in most cases and I just saw the raw logic. Sometimes I was able to get on good terms enough with a Dev to get them to explain their logic, but usually the code stood on its own. But Genericall
