Do you use Spotify? There is a really annoying feature on IOS Spotify where it hijacks the system volume control, and syncs it with the Spotify desktop app running on another computer. Sometimes even when the mobile app is closed! And inevi

If you are experiencing all of these reliability issues, have them replaced by Apple. My original AirPods Pro had some serious issues. Firmware would update on only one of the pair, and so preventing them both from connecting to the same de

Removing off street parking transitions from an "everyone pays" model to a "user pays" model. Under a user pays model, parking will be allocated to those who need it the most. Those whose need for parking is not as stron

I'm not even sure it's cheaper. At a previous employer we had approximately 150k of cloud expenses per annum. Bringing that in house would have eclipsed the cloud expenses on additional staffing costs alone.

If I want to search reddit content on my phone, I use google search because reddit's search sucks. But then I look like a non-converted user because I'm only logged in on the app not the mobile site.

I find in C++ at least reasoning about RAII is always surprisingly complex. The second you have to write a custom destructor you get into the weeds of reasoning about copy/move/copy-assignment etc. https://en.cppreferen

Honestly... I love it. The whole website is just aggressively bad. The C suite cube faces, ugly color palette, spinny cube complete with a Jay-Z curated soundtrack, the misaligned text & links on the media kit page etc. It reminds me a

Even if Zillow had an algorithm that was 100% accurate at predicting current house prices, the housing market is just incompatible with market making. A market maker isn’t exposed to changes in the price, they clip the ticket on providing l

Zillow wasn’t aiming to build a business making bets on the housing market. They wanted to become a market maker for housing, profiting off the spread and not caring about the underlying price movements. Being a (good) market maker is still

A key part of the Oracle strategy is making it a breach of license to publish any benchmarking data. No performance data about Oracle's database is allowed to be published without their approval, which means no negative results are pub

It may be easier to develop one efficient process to extract CO2 from the atmosphere than to develop numerous efficient alternatives to every CO2 producing activity.

When you miss a quote or a brace in JSON, the JSON fails to parse. When you make a similar minor mistake in YAML, you often end up with a valid but nonsensical document with completely incorrect structure. I don't want the language to

YAML's lack of limitations is the source of much of the difficulty with the format. The numerous ways to represent basic data (arrays, strings etc) is a common source of error. YAML doesn't have enough limitations! And you can&#x2

If programmers find getting YAML indentation correct difficult how are non-programmers going to fair?

You say the swaps are the only component that has meaningful counterparty risk, it is worth noting that the swaps dwarf the other TQQQ holdings over 7:1.

The true risk of leveraged ETF's like TQQQ is not so much the risk of large losses in a downturn, but rather that under extreme market conditions the fundamental mechanism that powers the ETF will break down in some unexpected way. The

Go is constantly being improved and refined compared to Java 1.44, there is a strong community of third party packages, you aren't shoehorned into the OOP box by basic language design, you get green threads in the form of goroutines wh

I'm a huge go proponent, but I do think the lack of map/filter/find etc. is a big downside to the language. I know how to write for (if item == myItem...) or a for (if item > max...) but it feels like a colossal waste of t

Sure, you can rewrite a program using lightweight threads to an async/await model and vice versa. I find the difference is in how easy it is to reason about concurrency in the program. With threads I find I can more easily mentally org

More serious than users fatfingering the command were scripts with code like rm -rf /$MYVAR If you don't set $MYVAR and don't set bash to error on unset variables you are in for trouble.

There is a shortage of people - with experience. A side effect of this is employers are less willing to take on less experienced staff as they lack the employees to act as mentors. Getting my first job in tech was the hardest - but since it

Having lightweight userland threads fundamentally changes the way that you write concurrent programs. There is no need to worry about creating too many threads or of thread creation being too heavy. Old school patterns like process/thr

On the other hand, if you are in heavy traffic stopping constantly at lights other traffic is also going to be travelling at that same slow speed.

Good old accidental exponential time complexity. Not caught in the initial release as there were not enough pending updates to notice the issue.
