Just out of curiosity, if that web API request is made while connected to the lamp via its WiFi access point, I am guessing that means whenever they wanted to control the lamp using this custom app, they'd have to make their phone disc

This leetcode interview stuff is not healthy for the industry and not healthy for engineers personally. What I am reading here is that you have had one job that didn't work out. Leetcode honestly means nothing to me. Here's an ane

In my experience from the past decade, it is often the case that, the difficult thing isn't estimating how much time the proposed project takes to build (this is the difficult part for some devs though), but it's how much other s

Interesting premise, but some of the examples given as BYOC wishlist is a little weird to me. Google doc (the main example) makes sense, sure. With others like Notion -- I recently started using Notion at a personal level and I feel like mu

Another idea for folks who are either less paranoid or doing lower stakes hobby projects -- I often search for the domain I want but without the TLD. If I wanted "foobar.rocks" I search for "foobar" on my registrar (Hove

Oh I think the technical argument makes sense, it's just that as a user, Signal is pretty different -- it's mobile first, using the desktop version requires having the mobile app (and account tied to mobile). It's a lot diffe

Thank you. Late comment, so you may not see it; but this is exactly what I'm looking for and it worked perfectly when I tested it out. I feel like the market has room for a simple desktop IM + file transfer client based on Magic Wormho

I think I am looking for pretty much something like this but for non-tech-savvy users as well and for Windows. For use between family members who live apart.

However, I'm looking for: 1) usage on computer, not mobile, 2) usage from Windows too, not just Mac, 3) Share via internet, not nearby/bluetooth/etc.

Np! Some additional info -- the site I mentioned, I also installed/configured the PicoEdit plugin for them so they can use a fully web-based interface to create/update content. They've been very happy with this process and we

I have two sets of anecdotal experiences I can tell you about: --- My personal blog -- a long time ago I've maintained a Wordpress blog, which have long been abandoned. The past 6-7 years I've maintained some articles on Medium (a

Are we looking at the same image? The one I clicked on in GP's message is an anime-looking person holding a sword. It doesn't look much like the picture on the Lenna wikipedia article you posted.

On a somewhat separate topic and line of thinking than the post (Great article btw, I agree with it completely) -- I've often thought that, as a software engineer, whenever giving estimates, any number of management folks must be think

I've been a casual Linux user on a personal laptop for years, and the way I've used Chromium is always as a "test on Chrome" tool on web app projects. Firefox is the daily driver browser. In that sense, I don't lose

It may be more dependent on your company than your actual job role. I've been software engineer for a decade and a half and have had stressful jobs/teams and have been a cofounder which was also stressful in a different way than b

Here's one counterpoint, that doesn't necessarily argue against the author (I love Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 theming btw!) -- diminishing ownership of the computer experience over the years gave me one great benefit, that is I&#x

A tangential question, why is .so the new cool TLD to use for tech startups/projects? I know the lack of availability of .com/other common TLDs is a problem. I understand the reasoning behind using .io to represent software/s

The readme doesn't mention it, but I like that it seems that anim.py is pretty standalone so you could potentially use it not just for Reddit comment threads, but pretty much any conversation at all. Also like that it seems fairly easy

I've heard of the McDonald's theory many years ago and I do somewhat agree that it works. But I'm not so sure that Seinfield for conversation-starting works in a similar way. I was an immigrant in the US from Asia. Even thoug

I feel like cryptocurrency is only a mechanism and not a solution itself. It seems the approach is for an organization to provide a solution (e.g. Brave), whether that solution involves a cryptocurrency (a token in their case) or simply a f

Wow, this seems really cool. I've looked into WebRTC before and every time I try to read the specs to see if I can implement something, I was turned away by how difficult it seems to be to get everything going to do hello world example

IMO it really doesn't have to be promotion-eager engineers or antsy product managers. I'm fairly satisfied with my role and comp and work type with where my career/life-stage is. I just did a code release first thing this mor

A bit off-topic but related to the intro in this readme.. > Why? > I'm super bored in lockdown. Add a Raspberry Pi 400 and a few tiny displays... I feel like there are two distinct kinds of lockdown experience. One, you have kids

This perspective ignores the actual UX, though. Here is a real world scenario that is extremely common. I am using my laptop, say doing random hobby projects, with code open, a few browser tabs open, some terminal tabs, maybe with something

Let me know if I interpreted you incorrectly, but I think you mean that VRBO has existed for longer and has a poor product/UX so they needed to be disrupted. I think it may be easy to compare the two now, but back in the days they were

Pre-Robinhood, were we (as a society) really only a polished-product away from mass adoption of stock trading in general? Like, is it really true that prior to Robinhood, most people outside of the wealthiest ones avoided stock trading only

I feel like GitHub has been taking a direction of a "social network for developers" for a while now, so that description is probably accurate.
