Like it or not, fortnightly and “once every two weeks” are your only unambiguous choices. We actually had a programming interview question using biweekly at a previous job. It was about thorough requirements definition and understanding&#x

I switched to "PDF Expert" (developer is Readdle I think) on the mac and its equivalent on mobile. Its easier to use than Acrobat ever was and costs less per year.

Here’s an oversimplified rule of thumb: Try not to spend more than a tenth your time on infrastructure or build if you are developing a product. If you find you are spending more than that on manual stuff, try to automate etc. to get back

The capacity of a legal team approaches infinity as the ambulance they are chasing approaches the speed of light.

There aren't any. The legion of SJWs and progressive use of government bans are totally made-up things. Propaganda has been very strong the last few years, and people feel like defending racism is actually some sort of legitimate figh

The deal had to be done at a certain time, which froze the value of the shares at the price. The shares were probably reserved for this purpose at that time.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from responsibility when your speech offends someone. Progressives aren’t stopping you from reading racist books to your children.... just don’t expect most people to want to sell them to you or pat y

Lets get Glass-Steagall back for finance first. . .its affiliation clauses were totally defanged in 1999 (and likely the contributing cause for the crash of 2007-2008). After that let's work on identity.

Tell that to your database which is highly optimized for using integers as IDs. Using a UUID everywhere when you could be using an integer is an invitation to low-performance-city.

Not crazy. Since there is no real qualification or certification, there is no real standard. Having said that, once you know basic data structures and have a solid facility for the stack, you shouldn’t need to study much besides the compa

Just looked it up. 94ms. Starlink has far more latency. By your lightsped math, Starlink won’t ever be able to compete on latency except in the most rural of areas with poor connectivity since low earth orbit has far more travel distance t

Isn’t the current latency between Sydney and Singapore 15ms or less by now? No one who is latency sensitive should be using Starlink unless they are in some incredibly remote location. (And they should move if they are 150ms is a cosmic a

If this continues, expect to see a lot of high-paying jobs leave high earning markets like San Fran and New York as pay decreases to meet lower cost cities and countries. Working from a lower cost area could be all the market supports in a

Isn’t Stadia effectively dead in the water anyway? The idea was based on universal infinite low-latency bandwidth which is wasteful and incongruent with the laws of physics. There are articles elsewhere showing Google abandoning its own d

The fact is that a few things that are already prohibited are happening here. You have 1) pump-and-dump manipulation on the day trader side and 2) Robinhood grew an entire business based on selling blocks of order-volume so that people can

The EFF is dedicated to it. You should donate... no matter what your political affiliation.

Is anyone seriously more worried about the independent players of big tech than an oligarch who has roused the firepower and hatred of domestic terrorists across the country? The rhetoric is really overblown.... these companies waited years

The same exact thing can be said of the account suspensions/removals.

Hindsight? You have the same kind of folks who showed up at Charlottesville and other altercations and you can’t predict they will cause trouble? The very idea that no-one could see this coming is ridiculous.

I second this. It helped me as well.

Ability to be under-paid or under-appreciated for the work is the real predictor here. That's why startups are a rich-person's game. The people who succeed by being "low-status" for a long time aren't really low-

I ended up getting a Zero Gravity Recliner (used off of ebay) with the laptop tray attachment (also used). It saved me until I could get back to a standing desk.

With Apple Silicon being implemented on ARM architecture as well, we are seeing a major shift to ARM in general. I’d expect major OS makers to accelerate ports to ARM.... Linux should follow suit..... as hardware makers start tailoring pla

This is an instance of having very compelling writing that describes a problem eloquently.... and then proposes solutions that are disastrous and make things even worse. Educating humanity is difficult. Every solution has its flaws. Givin

As far as spread/death differences, population density was a clear multiplier, as would be expected. Policy effects weren’t seen in early days because there were no policy differences, just population density and global travel ones. T

Trend is up for new cases and hospital beds in almost every single state that opened early. The only exception is Georgia which has been caught falsifying data more than once.
