Well except for Digg, Myspace, and probably many more examples.

They could be threading a very fine needle for a reason no one knows. Limiting airdrop seems like a lose lose. If they did it for the government, then it is a lose. If they did it to improve privacy, for some reason, then if that gets out i

Feels. I had to get VISA to block charges from Google because I moved and changed phone numbers without remembering to change one of my emails on a custom domain.

Idk my experience is much different. On the weekend, I would have a list of games I really wanted to play. Boot one up, play for a few minutes, feel like I should be playing a different one, switch and repeat. Or I would have hobbies or a

Elon has found the ultimate checkmate to fight the bot problem. No service, no bots.

That’s cool. I constantly get tripped up with day/month ordering. Maybe I am dumb, but it is a silly design to defend in my opinion.

Yes true. What’s your threat model though? If my government wants to own me they can do that without going to Apple. For myself I’m quite happy with this as it is a huge improvement over what we had. My only irk is that they called themselv

Alternatively you work hard for 5-10 years saving money and then find the fulfilling but less pay career/job.

Clearly humans are output machines and draining all creativity from their souls by burning the midnight oil is the way to build great products. I’m excited for the next wave of companies to prove this mindset wrong. I think some will but pe

The only products you listed which weren’t acquisitions are search and gmail. Search is exactly the problem Google was made to handle and Gmail.. well I don’t love gmail but it is a good enough product I guess?

In my experience, I have seen more power imbalance at small/medium sized businesses. Whereas larger companies you tend to get lost in the bureaucracy and have the ability to switch teams/orgs and get out of bad situations. HR is u

Pretty much this. Context matters so much. Even at a higher-level, imagine this at a FAANG vs. startup finding product market fit. The situations are completely different.

Essentially ‘b = a’ in the second example is equivalent to ‘b = &a[0]’ or assigning an array to a pointer. This is because if you use an array in an expression, it’s value is (most of the time) a pointer to the array’s first element. Bu

Perhaps they care more about exploration and learning rather than career growth and solving business problems.

As an engineer, I do not look at Twitter today and think about how much more reliable it will be in the next year. Nothing Elon has done signals this.

Ha I hear this a lot but the alternatives I have seen used are frankly just as terrible. I much prefer Confluence to a hidden web of Google docs.

I sadly agree, I have seen standards of senior developer which make sense to me but even the orgs whom wrote them do not apply them evenly. In the past year I saw way too many intermediate/senior engineers almost hired as staff.

My suggestion.. avoid using a framework for now and learn CSS. Become comfortable with it. Then decide if you need a framework and what framework fills that need. https://css-for-js.dev is a good course.

The most challenging thing I found at a large tech company was building and maintaining relationships. Grabbing food with coworkers on campus is a cheat code for this. Similarly if I visited a new office, I was guaranteed to be able to do t

This is correct. Message content is encrypted, and only readable from either an unencrypted backup on iCloud or if one of the message recipients reports your message (their client then sends the message to Meta unencrypted). Message metadat

Because many of us have heard too many stories of sacrificing years of your life for a startup/company only to get screwed over with equity etc.

I have been researching for a Linux laptop to replace my M1 for a month now - mostly to get back on x86 for projects. The non-M1 offerings are relatively terrible. You have to make some trade-off of battery life, thermals, display, keyboard

Well no nice rhetoric but there are privacy reviews at Meta now to prevent these things. OP should collect evidence for why they think it was Meta and report it. Then it can be investigated properly and dealt with if true. I’m skeptical tha

That was my experience. I went from an ergodox to a dactyl manuform and at first I found it great. But that went to good to decent. I did not jive with something about the curvature + layout, even though I could touch type at a good speed.

Love this generation of MacBooks. I used to rice my Linux installs every few months and switch distros or wms and setup new servers. Now I just open my laptop and have at it. My only suggestion is that you do try Linux a good amount. This c

This here. If someone, even a bad teammate or poor performer, was let go a month before vesting and got nothing I would strongly consider applying to a new place.

I’m not sure tech for tech’s sake is a good value proposition. If they were to kill this off in the year what impact did it have on the world?

It is also greatly under-diagnosed, and long-term learning skills and coping mechanisms are more effective than medication. I started my treatment with low dose meds and that has helped me developed better skills for management. The only th

If you read the app’s official Twitter you will get several hints that this is likely not just a client-side app. https://twitter.com/theogapp_/status/1574811388823732233 https://twitter.com/theoga
