It's hard to explain without being misconstrued. The bay area tech scene is embedded in the general culture of the SF Bay Area itself, and that culture is very sensitive to these topics. It's like opening a recent wound before l

By class I meant income level, not culture. In the past being a profitable artist meant superstardom or poverty, with a rare few in between with middle class incomes. Now with Youtube/patreon, there is a good chunk of 'middle cla

Something I've realized is a lot of our habits transfer over from app to app. Most authors of new software make sure to follow the standard OS text editing conventions, and windows, linux & macos are all fairly similar. When you u

Is there a case study somewhere for such an interview? Like a description or a video or such? Also how do you deal with the standardized interview being published? As in 'company X' uses a live coding exercise and they ask you t

These places use the computer for interviews already for the visually impaired. It's just a name for a type of interview. I even give people the option to use the computer if they are more comfortable with that or a whiteboard. It ca

Things like the FB app is really a function of the amount of code and developers working on it at once. Amount of code is a function of the number of engineers. It's a social organization issue & a big company issue more than anyth

What happens when you have 10 valid applications as a landlord? Do they even have to tell you the reason why they chose application 3 over all the others? How does that work?

The swift scalability problems start coming up around 70k lines of code, so for the typical case of 1 or 2 developers it doesn't come up. But if you start getting a large codebase: * indexing will take forever * xcode will beachball c

Cars are also unused for over %90 of the time, taking up space in some parking spot on premium land close to people's workspaces and homes. On almost every road in america, 2 lanes of traffic are taken up by car parking. In a self dri

MP3 hasn't changed as a standard or probably as a codebase for decades. Your apps are changing every week, and apps tend to grow in size as more and more code & features are added to them. It's a natural consequence of most

Are you comparing identical OS versions and an identical amount of apps installed? Newer versions often make everything slower. I remember when the iOS 6 -> iOS 7 update happened, the exact same code run on the same device with differe

I'm guessing you have an iPhone? Apps are getting larger due to more and more code accumulating as time goes on and apple's toolkit / compilers causing binaries to become larger. Swift itself creates incredibly bloated binari

The apple app store doesn't prevent malware either. Reviews are done by just using the app and running an automated program on it. If you turn off your malware features during review time, then it wont be caught. There is a good chanc

The regulation is what is screwing the owner in this case. It's a simple ban on short term renting. If it didn't exist then it would just be a civil lease agreement violation and far less painful. AirBnB went wrong in this case
