how many things did you learn by seeing / being taught the solution and how many did you re-invent as you're basically asked to do at an interview? To give maybe a bad example, I don't know how to do a quicksort. I've wr

I would like to see data on if these interview systems actually achieved their goal of rejecting bad candidates. I worked at a FAANG company and saw several people get let go for underperforming. I have no idea if they could have been produ

I see phone AR as a pointless gimmick. Like comparing a 1970s video game to PS4 video game. Yes both can be fun but pong is not really comparable to GTA5. Phone AR is so far off from Black Mirror AR. I can imagine every teenage girl spendi

Well then you can come meet me and about 150 other friends. I pretty much play VR only at this point. Any time I try a typical flat screen 3D game something is missing. The frustration of having a camera stick. The boringness of having to &

I didn't get No Man's Sky until this August when they released the VR version. I got it on sale fully expecting to spent only 20 minutes with it. I just wanted to see it in VR. I ended up spending 20 hrs. I felt like a little kid

Unfortunately there's a giant category of devices that can't serve TLS. Like pretty much every consumer router in existence that you connect to through a webpage. Someone needs to come up with a solution for that. Ideally one that

Yes, I'm not sure what the future holds for HTML but I'm confident the ultimate goal of webassembly is to make the browser a secure place to run full native like apps. That suggests some apps will not use HTML and just render ever

You should definitely not be pushing anyone to Safari. Apple's monopoly on browser engines on iOS gives them veto power on all web standards since iOS uses have no alternate browser engines (like Firefox)

Apple Maps meh. It doesn't work across devices. I look maps on my browser all the time. I need maps to appear everywhere and be sharable with the 80% of the planet not using iOS

The iPhone is a progression of PDAs more than phones. There are plenty of interesting devices to look at including Apple's own Newton, the Sony Dynabook, the Palm Pilot and all its versions up through Sony Clie as well as Windows CE an

dumb question. Do any of the services let you filter for continuous color?

I agree with this as well. I feel like the OS should require apps to specify which domains they'll connect to and they should be allowed to only to connect to those domains. Yes you should be able to specify all domains like if you&#x2

Well it does get worse. Lots of apps/programs run in python. I want `python goodprogram.py` to have access to certain things but not `python badprogram.py`

Is it possible the OS should be designed so only the OS can read the actual private key so then at least at some level some apps don't ever need to see the key, they just need permission to authenticate.

That sounds like a boil the ocean solution. We're never going to get all developers to be perfect, and besides there are evil devs as well so the solution has to be elsewhere.

I agree it can be inconvenient but don't iOS and Android kind of show that for most users the experience can be just fine? For us devs we can still either open our systems or find better ways but I'd prefer the default to be more

In what language is it any different? It tried to help edit the rust docs. It downloaded > 100 packages and thousands of files. I tried to use some command via brew, it downloaded 15+ dependencies each derived from 100s or 1000s of files

Putting a URL in a comment still requires you to share the rest of your code does it not? The SA part of CC-BY-SA?

I think they should change it to MIT or BSD or CC0. I've put in my profile that all code I post is CC0. I don't want or need credit for explaining something and a 5 to 50 lines of code. Sometimes the code is longer but it's u

I don't know what the solution is but it feels like this is a much bigger issue and we need some rethinking of how OSes work by default. Apple has taken some steps it seems the last 2 MacOS updates where they block access to certain fo

Checked and it behaves the same in Safari as Chrome so it appears this is left over from WebKit and by HN logic since Apple did it it's the right way! (jk) Yes, I agree it should be fixed. Most WYSIWYG editors do have issues though. Ju

WeWork might be full but there is co-working space all over the city, some of them hourly or daily, most of them are not full at least when I've visited. There must be 50 or more in Shibuya alone.
