I think the whole tech industry is working from home right now, so no one is missing out by some folks in an office and others at home. Once the extroverted folks start migrating back to the office and people start having FOMO, I think then

The first 2 months of lockdown, I was crazy productive, working till midnight every night. Then little by little I'm slowly finding it harder and harder to concentrate. My productivity has fallen enough that my manager has called it ou

Exactly, if you take a look at HBO, they always announce either from the start that the production is a "Limited Series", or pre-announce the year for a final season. This gives the writing team the bandwidth to properly conclude

I don't think any platform will fund a creative project without a stated beginning, middle and end. It's just that Netflix pays upfront for the idea, so the writers and directors don't have control over when to finish the sto

by jarjoura 6y ago
The problem isn't that Netflix cancels shows after 1 or 2 seasons. It's that they insist on injecting mystery box plotlines and ending seasons without resolving some of them. They do this to keep you bingeing, but the end result i

Dude, that's totally fine, if you're okay with online only and that gives you personal maximum job satisfaction there are tons of fully remote positions out there waiting for you if you haven't found one yet. You and I don&#x

There used to be soooo many small interactions that happen throughout the day that right now require way too much formal structure. For example, after lunch as we're walking back to our desks we would randomly chat about an idea. These

This has been my experience as well. One thing I'm missing right now are the crazy random ideas that people say jokingly but then someone takes seriously and turns into a product feature.

I think its important to call out that, it's entirely possible to become a fluent speaker in any secondary language you commit to, at any age. I've seen it and know people who've put in the hard work. However, the distinction

This is super cynical and also kind of superficial from the perspective of an external observer. Yes, the more competitive the company, the more competitive the people who are in it. Good companies harness that competitive energy to bring o

C++ doesn't have a stable ABI, so if you target a C++ symbol manually like this, as soon as the compiler revs, to say, C++20, the ABI will change and you'll get a linker error. Also, this may work for simple C++ methods, but once

Hmmm, this article seems like a very Mac centered view of text editor history. I was using jEdit long before TextMate was a thing and it had extensions and language customizations as well. If I remember correctly, TextMate mainly became pop

My point is that Apple's weird choices like SwiftUI being tied to internal versions of the standard libraries creates mixed messaging. It's only general purpose enough that on Mac/iOS you get Apple's version of the stand

Sure, I guess if they feel the open source versions of Swift's standard library are functional enough to release production quality software. Keep in mind, the UI code will be completely custom for Windows though.

Swift has this weird sort of ecosystem where Apple builds much of the platform in a very secret (most of the roadmap isn't shared), closed-source variant for its own OS. Then it has this open source version, with a very public compiler

When I read this, all I'm really reading is, Apple's biggest cultural position on secrecy is also its biggest pain-point for external developers. Secrecy is so ingrained in that company, at all levels, that it will never/ever

Most companies I've interviewed at allow me to chat with the hiring manager first to get a sense of the role. If they're looking for someone super senior like us, you just need to be upfront about what it would take for them to hi

The early US election history is littered with stories of coercion. It’s a very real threat.

Do you have an example of a presidential election that was redone? In 2000 Bush vs Gore, the Supreme Court canceled the recount. That’s the closest I’ve seen to the courts stepping in to fix a mess.

There are no do-overs in an election. If a system is compromised, either legitimately or through political gas lighting, there won’t be a paper trail to fall back on. There’s also some theories that voting at home on something like your pho
