How short are memories. I remember how Microsoft was vilified for supposedly having secret Windows APIs that allowed Microsoft apps to get better performance. That was mostly made up and even if such APIs existed, any program could have use

While late is better than never, Disney is too little too late. I'm not saying they will fail. Of established players they are the strongest and making the boldest moves so they have a chance at being a no 2. But they launch when Netfl

So you think that it was fair that she was "exposed" in that piece? What exactly was her role in and relevance to Cambridge Analytica scandal? According to the article, she was an intern at SCL Election before 2013, in January 201

I don't quite get why people are mad at Schmidt and not the Guardian for shady reporting. So a woman interned at SLC Elections (which later became Cambridge Analytica) and now works at Uber. After reading the story I fail to see her si

Slow boiling frog. Given the history of what Apple did in the past, I think it's very naive that this is the last restriction Apple will add. First the user could run any app. Then you had to sign the app or the user would see a scary

There's lies, damn lies and statistics. Yes, Model X (at 192) is second highest in its class. It's also better than any passenger car in top 10 (lowest at 204) and better than any pickup truck in top 10 (lowest at 205). So if we c

His presentation was great. You're just judging him by the most superficial attribute: the cadence of his speech. An attribute that he cannot change, btw, because that's how he speaks. The content was great. He knows what's h

React, Vue and Svelte solve 2 big problems. 1. components (creating re-usable UI parts (i.e. components) that combine data and their rendering) 2. reactivity - re-rendering UI when data changes. Web Components only solve one of those proble

So the issue seems to be the nature of the work ("I did not find the work challenging or interesting, I felt like a cog in a well-oiled machine and easily replaceable"). A simple solution: start your own small business. Write an a

This will not affect gas prices. The argument is that this would make car prices higher. But so does building SUVs instead of smaller passenger cars like in Europe, so I'm not that sympathetic to that argument given that emissions also

You can encapsulate iteration logic in Go. I do it in my libraries when warranted. The pattern is: v := NewIteratedValue() for v.Next() { item := v.Item // process item } if v.Err() != nil { // pro

The reason cgo is (relatively) slow is small stacks, not M:N threading. Small stacks (and M:N threading) are needed to efficiently implement tens of thousands of goroutines. CGO is slow mostly because it needs to switch to a larger stack wh
