They've decided to compete in the dedicated POS space, yet they continue to compare themselves to tablet based solutions. To that end, I don't think they're actually delivering much novelty here, they've only eliminated

Unless your business is selling solutions to algorithmic riddles, your coding test probably shouldn't be testing for them. Try to make it a reasonable proxy for what the engineer will be doing day-to-day, and make sure it's a nov

There's two fundamentally unrelated but easily muddled situations here. A) USB-C PD, USB-C audio, or even just straight-up USB-C data devices, and/or USB-C hosts not adhering to standards. This is definitely a problem, but it&#x27

Considering that you're asking for something that is politically and logistically impossible at many, if not most, companies, you just need to ask immediately if this is something that can be done, and part ways if the answer is no.

Statistically, we're not talking about a lot of requests here and they're most likely to be deletions which should be trivial.

Yes, but my understanding is that you don't need to automate these features, so you would just do it all manually until your scale starts to make building tools worth it.

His work history is materially important to his evaluation as a candidate. He wasn't great in spite of his lies, he was great because of them. Answering a few questions in an interview is just a gut check. The real yardstick is how wel

Your stance is that they should have hired the guy who blatantly misrepresented himself to them? Hard disagree, even if this guy is the best that ever was, he's shown his true colors. The second it's beneficial to him, he'll

I thought that the anemic pace of tunnel construction was more a political problem than a technological one. Either Musk has solved NIMBY-ism and red tape, or he happened to pick a convenient location free from these issues for his pilot tu

Without that time limit, an entire black market of non-app-store software distribution could spring up, and Apple would not be able to protect little Bobby who wants an emulator from bad app actors.

Apple doesn't repair anyone's laptop on site, they're all shipped to repair centers. And if they don't stock your configuration in store, there's no way to just hand you a new one either. I'm not saying your

I've taken the California Zephyr between Chicago and SF a couple times now, it's a wonderful experience. 2 1/2 days of solitude from a world with increasingly few remote corners. If you're at all interested, I recommend

I started remapping the Caps Lock key to the Escape command when I got my tbMBP, and now it's the very first thing I do on every single computer I start using, touch bar or not. MacOS even now offers this as a 1st party option in syst

There was "Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac" which was x86 emulation for PowerPC but performance was abysmal.

They can try, but you can't get blood from a stone. Emulating x86 on ARM is going to give you grotesquely low performance, it's arguably not even the same category of problem that they currently solve (virtualization, not emulati

by huebnerob 9y ago
Your last point may be a bit of an understatement. It's going to absolutely annihilate x86 virtualization on the Mac. Like, I don't think parallels or VMware will even attempt to write an x86 emulator for ARM, they'll just pa

There's lots of different kinds of crime, each very unique in its circumstances. Just try comparing the stats for securities fraud vs. drug possession, for example. DUI is a tough one, people of all socioeconomic backgrounds like to ge

I'm not saying the current state of zoning is correct or even sane, but I think you also need to consider how that density accumulates over time. If you duplicated every high density building in Manhattan tomorrow, there would be prob

I don't know why we as an industry can fetishize shaving milliseconds off of interaction, response, or compile time, then turn around and have dick-measuring contests about how poorly we can manage version control.

Are you entitled to be paid for your work? Yes. Do you have a case against them? Probably yes. Is it worth your time? Probably not. I'm guessing we're talking about a pretty small code test that took you maybe a day tops, in that

My understanding was that Equifax was countersuing for legal costs, if that's not the case then I was indeed mistaken.

AR uses all the power it can get. On-device ML becomes possible and practical. On top of that, the A series processors are also getting more energy efficient, so longer battery life. I can't believe people are still making "640K s
