I'm confused. Every suburban city in California has the "main downtown" area facade with vast parking lots behind it. This design has been around for almost a century and works in lower density areas. Do we all want sophistic

> Creating animations is hard! This is one reason why many developers do not attempt it. You need to have a "design eye" or you need to study animation. People go to school for years to learn about animation and spend years ref

This is where a strong tech-lead and coding style guidelines are a must on any team. There will always be code ramp-up time for any engineer, junior or senior, even if everything was written in plain old C. So you need to adhere to what you

An easy example, you can make movies in other regions of the country, YouTube makes it possible, but if you want to easily hire the best people you have to go where they are concentrated. This is why being in the movie industry pulls everyo

As someone who worked on the iPad v1, I can tell you, it was a product built in search of a problem. It was going to compete against the, then, growing Netbook market. Steve Jobs thought Windows was going to win that market and hastily thre

I think the OP makes it clear that this nuance is actually quite tricky in a native systems language like Rust. A good example in C++ would be: - A function (non capturing/lambda) is created with auto f = [] { ... }; - A functio

It sounds like you're describing a very sophisticated bus route that every city in the world already has.

College-only Facebook would have died after everyone graduated and it really took off after they decided to compete with Twitter's feed. The model of having a stream of news of people complaining about what they had for breakfast allow

Facebook was absolutely not first. MySpace had a HUGE lead. Facebook came in with a superior product and won on its own merit. If you want to claim first person advantage, you should definitely point to Friendster though in the US or Orkut

I am not sure I completely buy the thesis of this essay because... 1. Facebook has NEVER had positive PR. The tech-media has always used FB as the Silicon Valley punching bag. Name me one good article in the news about FB? At some point you

We better get some chargers out there. There's at most 2 chargers at places and with more EVs on the road, they will most likely always be taken.

For all the startup founders and VCs in this conversation, you are cheap motherf*ckers. When I read that engineers and employees prefer FAANG companies because they pay better, I want to remind you that it wasn't always like this. 10-1

The PS4 doesn't require an update if you don't want to go online. The same for a game, you can just cancel the update if it's started. The entire platform can run offline if you want. Any game that requires a system update to

What makes the OP think Tim Cook had any real say in any of the design of the MBP? If anything, Tim probably lets the hardware leadership make the decisions. I think the Watch and Apple's shift to privacy are Tim's contributions t

Vine was mostly penis videos at the beginning. I think its original growth was due to the random clips of nudity until Twitter decided they needed to clean it up.

I applaud this effort. I really think the UI team that built SwiftUI at Apple really screwed up by 1. Making it tied to the OS. 2. Not building it in a way that its Open Source. Yes I've read comments from Apple engineers that proclaim

Something that confuses me about the corporate culture at Microsoft where stuff like this happens all the time. Let's imagine that an entire team of people worked tirelessly to design, engineer a $1.5-2k device, and manufacture somethi

Vine was and still is a failed execution of the idea of short form video clips. Music.ly and by extension, TikTok are actually really fun, well executed products. I don't think it has anything to do with it being made in China or not a

Ahhhh the never ending should UI live in the code, or should it live outside the code debate. There is definitely a cohort of people who find React and code based UI patterns better. There is also a cohort of people who prefer to keep the

My take away from this is privilege is just code for what they term in the corporate world as "soft skills". Some students have access to programs, or mentors that teach them how to maximize inter-personal relationships and buil

"3D touch" on the iPhone 11 is a mess now because it activates some intentful interaction by simply leaving your thumb on the display for too long. I applaud the decision to replace it for longer battery life, and I still do miss

I'd argue this is mostly because kids have the time to sit there and figure it out. They also have zero expectations for the way things should work, so they can try to do something until it does what they want. Not sure this is valid a
