Yes, const in C++ is interesting, though not as powerful as my proposal, for many reasons: - A const function can modify its arguments - ... and global variables, as you said. - You can always const_cast it away. - A non-const function does

Is TypeScript as annoying a language to code in as Javascript? Or is it comparable to other modern languages like Swift and Go? If it is, I'd say that pain of dealing with Javascript (for developer productivity and happiness) is alread

Any component could theoretically cause someone to want to upgrade their phone, but in practice, some would be more frequent driving factors than others. Have you done market research to identify these? If you were to make only those replac

Sad to see Ara die. I don't understand why they took three years to realise the path they were pursuing didn't work. Why couldn't they figure out earlier so they still had time to do something that works? Google should have p

As someone who loves Inbox and Gmail, what does Fastmail do that Gmail doesn't? It needs to do a lot to make it worth the high price of $36 per year.

What problem does this solve for the end-user that isn't already or better solved by Google Drive, Dropbox, or sharing in chat apps like Hangouts or WhatApp? Or is it like, "Here is some cool technology!" without identifying

Can you share that data? "My experience differs significantly" might sound like "I can't pick up new technologies and work on them". What did you have in mind?

I had this exact same conversation with a manager who seemed suprised when I told him people are not interchangeable cogs. He said that some people may be quicker at a particular technology / domain / whatever, or quicker to ramp

When we were considering starting a startup, I explained my potential co-founder my vision, what we should prioritise, and what we shouldn't do. He took a few weeks and came back with his vision, and we realised that we have diverging

I wanted to create a Medium account but decided otherwise, because of Medium's terrible UX: - Images sometimes don't load, showing a swathe of a single color. In India, latency is much higher than the US, so I open multiple tabs,

Why not do as I suggested above, which is to answer "Can I work remotely?" with "You can do anything you want as long as it doesn't hurt your work." That way, you're setting clear expectations ahead of time.

To be clear, I didn't say that you shouldn't care, or that you shouldn't ask people to keep you in the loop. Three other people have responded to my last post. Please see those responses, since they address your points.

This all seems to boil down to unstated expectations from both sides, which is a no-win situation. My last boss's attitude to people who wanted to work remotely was "You can do whatever you want as long as your work doesn't s

I agree that writing down stuff more is usually beneficial to everyone, but at times, it has felt like rehashing things that everyone who was present in person already knows, just for the benefit of remote people. That's a cost at time

It's not all or nothing. If he shows up every once in a while, he's better connected than if he never showed up. People tend to forget people who they don't see.

Storing data on Apple's cloud services is a privacy risk given their inability to keep it secure. We had the celebrity iCloud hack, caused at least in part by Apple not using 2FA for iCloud logins. And now this privacy failure. Storing

I don't see why your manager missed the point. If the "vast majority" of employees are onsite, then it seems reasonable to expect the few who aren't to come visit, or otherwise change their working style, rather than the

New phones will get it. Surely you're not arguing that Google shouldn't make any improvements to core Android because of the update situation?

Thanks, Martin, for appearing here. I've read a few times that apps developed in React Native have an odd look-and-feel, or had noticeable touch latency, or aren't performant enough or native-quality. Every time I tried an app bui

So why can't Google create a new version of the dex format, update Android Studio to generate it, and update the store to accept and distribute it to new devices? Seems easy enough for Google to be able to do.

Thanks for building Sandstorm, Kenton, and I found the model interesting, though there was no way I'd use it yet because it's a risk to bet on an unproven startup / project. This is the same reason I'd use Node or Rails,
