That's rich coming from Google. If you're a Google Fi users (cell phone service) you have to do some wonky hacks to make iMessage work because Google doesn't support it. Then every time you run a software update, you have to

This is the update I've been waiting for since the pandemic started! It no longer turns my MacBook into a toaster when I'm on a video call. (= It used to jack the power usage metric up to like 100, now it's more aligned with

So many things can kill your product. And I agree that having an engineering-led product can be especially prone to the dangers of over-engineering... but... Not having users / customers can kill your product. Not building the right fe

Correct, we never set out to run a software company... just build something my godson found fun. Figured since he was interested, he'd be motivated and he'd learn a lot along the way. A lot of what he's learnt has been social

This article does and doesn't mirror my experience. When the pandemic hit, I helped my now 15 year-old godson build a video game add-on as a way to stay close since we couldn't travel. For the last two years we've had a blast

After a decade plus on a MacBook Pro, it always blows me away looking at non-retina displays. At this point, anything less than 4k might as well be a monochrome monitor limited to 80 characters per line. It just looks so dated and hideous.

Any performance improvements, or will it still use like 50x more battery and turn my MBP into a toaster when I hop on a video call?

I get it... we have big houses in the US. And I don't honestly know how to live otherwise. I'm sure if we had smaller homes I'd be used to smaller homes... but yeah anyway, not really interesting for anyone but just has me th

I do think it would be interesting to see how a neighborhood of these tiny homes fared on the market. With showers, and bathrooms -- of course. I question the viability once you get a partner, man... anything smaller than 2,500 square feet.

MacOS on MBP. Yes, already opened bug reports on the issue. I joined the same 2-person Zoom call from all 3 browsers on my MBP just now... If you have more people call in, like 10 or more on the call... that's when Firefox really melts

Shame, nothing about performance yet. When you run a Zoom or Google Meet call on Firefox it uses 40x the battery of Safari.

Why wouldn't the federal government just mandate a vaccine? Putting it on employers is yet another sign of cowardice in our leadership. Each business shouldn't have to sort this out... it's too complex of an issue. If there&#

Much more reasonable than an employer mandating a vaccine to return to an office setting.

One feature I REALLY like about ZenHub is that you can build a project board with multiple repositories on it. Easy to tie tickets from the back-end repo to the front-end repo, or whatever you need. Wish GitHub would build out multi-repo pr

CPU goes up some, but not a ton. Like it's weird. It really just super heats my computer, fans go to max RPM, and burns battery like there's no tomorrow... but I don't see CPU usage off the charts -- it's using CPU more

I hear this, but also it works fine in Safari... and even less bad in Chrome on a MBP. Not an expert, but that makes me think there's something the Firefox folks can do to improve this issue. If they wanted to. It's not like 2x, i

As far as I know... nobody at Amazon when I was there got taken off "Focus" (whatever it was called in the past). They only ended up leaving the company. But that said, I think Amazon had a very long interview process. Too long. (

All 6 of them? No no, I kid. But for real, it'd be nice if Apple had some good working extensions on MacOS before porting them over to iOS. Like nothing works right. I use Firefox mostly, with about 40 extensions. 95% of those work on
