It is the copious amounts of whitespace that I find so very offensive in Material UI. My secret guilty pleasure at work is shooting down any mention of using Material UI design in any of our software haha.. it is just silly how much pleasur

It was Uber in it's early days. I recall a blog post from their chief marketing officer(?) at the time. The gist of it was - they accidentally disabled digital advertising for a few months and found that disabling it had no effect on t

It was Turnbull government that did the deal with France; since then the Liberal party has had a change of leadership and there has been a national election.

You are conflating actions of different governments over decades into one singular action. The world has changed a lot and if the government of the day feels it needs to alter a $90 billion purchase (which was initially $40 billion by the w

Hah a feature like this would make iPhone 13 persona non grata for many governments around the world.

That looks amazing. Did you have fun building it? What's your tech stack?

I think you are on to something.. Such a language could perhaps even have a formal specification? Like a syntax and schematics?

Distributed systems that, more or less, are only really needed to run similar social networks as Facebook or Google? That’s like saying the Cook maybe fat and morbidly obese but look at how efficiently he consumes such a large number of cal

Perhaps the tens of millions of dollars in annual income driven by television broadcasting and advertising sales is also a large part of their reality and motivation, no?

I am in a similar situation at my work; can you give me some pointers on how I might able to validate the same premise at my company? TIA

I can sympathise with the men in this story. I have sat in on meetings where HR was telling Engineering that tech skills and experience did not matter; only the sex and race of the hired candidate. How did HR get so much power? Most of them

Absolutely untrue. My M1 Air does not skip a beat at all even under sustained load. Barely gets warm.

Individuals are trustworthy or not. Companies, especially companies in a state of massive flux like a fast growing startup, have no fixed traits like trustworthiness. It depends on the leadership team at the moment, pressures from external

Until Notion starts encrypting my data end-to-end it is just non-viable. The temptation is too great if the data is just sitting there on their infra to start poking around and gain "customer insights" and "add value".

I can't stand the amount of empty whitespace in the Windows 10 UI. I find it so offensive. I hope they are heading in a new aesthetic direction with Windows 11.

How is this any different to clocking in manually at your workplace? A lot of companies ask their employees to clock in and out at a terminal when they enter the office. For roster adherence and for payroll. The article clearly states it on

I’m going through the same dance at my company. Could you post the arguments that you made against GTM? It would help a lot. Thanks

It will be only tracking and surveillance data that the TV uploads to the mothership. It's not like they will let you stream YouTube, Netflix or Prime on their inbuilt 5G connection. So the cost will be minimal and further reduced by t

Well then it becomes a question of attribution. How do you with a finite amount of dollars to spend on advertising know if you are getting your money's worth when you cannot connect a dollar spent on ad with incoming revenue? Sure in

I have had the same feeling too during a power nap. It feels like a reboot to me. Perceptually when I wake up I panic thinking it must have been hours then I look at the watch and only 10 minutes have passed.

Hmmm this is interesting. I wonder if people that cannot sleep more than 4-5 hours per night also have very vivid dreams? And therefore the brain cleaning REM cycle is just more intense and prolonged so the mind-body decides it does not nee
