Image recognition people - is the approach to detecting something as "regular" as a particular flag any different than any other image recognition task? Or are you still just pumping in a ton of training data and doing hotdog&#x2F

GraphQL is nice (we use it in the issue tracker we're building [0]) but I think some proponents get a little over zealous and make some untrue statements about traditional "REST" APIs. Like this: > These two classic REST f

So this is maybe (probably?) unrelated, but when touching down on an airplane, I always start getting push notifications even before joining the local WiFi etc. What's going on there? Am I imagining this or does it actually happen?

I'd say infinite scroll is considered to be an anti-pattern by many. It means your page can't have a footer, it means your analytics are weird (now you need to worry about scroll depth instead of just page loads). Not to mention t

This sounds totally reasonable for a company like Auth0 that has a) a big engineering team and b) tons of people who are depending on their APIs not being slow. Do you think it's easy enough to get this sort of machinery set up even fo

Not sure I ever really _liked_ the TrackPoint, but the trackpad on the Thinkpads I had (this is early-mid 2000s) were so terrible that it was at least an improvement. Doubt I'd be going back after the Macbook Pro trackpad.

What I'd like to see is the process documented and actually stuck to. Not the content of the interviews, but the actual composition of the process - how many interviews, timelines, etc. I've been on both ends of terrible recruitin

Wonder what the chances are that Hey eventually renames the Imbox. I don't think it's going to be a cultural phenomenon and I think they'll probably get tired of writing "Imbox (not a typo)".

What works in other systems (intercom, for example) is allowing callers to pass a user ID with every call. Then you can match on that and unsubscribe the user rather than the email itself.

Cool! Do you handle updating users’ email addresses? That’s a challenge we’ve had with sendgrid. A user updates their email address and now they’re no longer unsubscribed if they unsubscribed previously.

Nice read! A few more: - poor setup/strategy for database migrations - inability to rollback deployments - insufficient metrics to know whether deploys are bad In general I feel like a lot of small companies over complicate this stuff

How is this differentiated from the other player in this space? What's the difference with the Google Analytics, MixPanel, Amplitudes, etc. of the world?

Can we use Portals to implement something like single sign on without either needing to redirect to an identity provider or doing a pop up? These things are increasingly hard to pull of without redirects/popups in a modern browsing wor

That was my first reaction. Besides the opportunity for data leakage I'm left wondering: - Do people know they're under surveillance? - What will Sightbit do when issued a warrant for all that video and data?

I think no/low code stuff has its place. For example, our product guy can build our landing page using Webflow and doesn't need to bug the devs, who can focus on actually coding our product. Would we consider a no code product to

Additionally many other 3rd party login systems have been around much longer than Sign in with Apple, which was another strike against Apple for the author.
