Came to say the same thing. As a candidate you really don't control internal processes and I don't believe you can influence the scheduling much. If they like you (and you like them), everything will happen fast.

Or: I've seen incompetent Node.js developers who couldn't tell which parts of their code would be client or server-side. I've seen people who didn't even care.

Except there's hope of finding a more effective treatment against this virus while we are on pause. So lives can be saved potentially.

Absolutely. The recent epidemic and how the vaccines were distributed have shown that the wealthy countries generally don't care about the rest of the world. Humanity is very fragmented and can't act as a whole on important global

On Europe vs. the US: if you consider private health insurance in the US a part of your taxes, then the difference is not that big anymore. In fact it may even be the other way around: in the US you may be overpaying for health services if

Interesting, that's different from what Safari supports (see sibling comment). I wonder what the algorithm is to generate a good password that matches a given regex. Also there's a potential problem with patterns that are wrong or

by mojuba 5y ago
An HTML input field can give your password generator a hint, right? Never looked at it closely but had the impression e.g. Safari's generator could adapt to certain rules and that they were somehow described in the HTML.

I'm sure it's partly that. But then how do things become fashionable? Who defines the common taste for the rest of the society? Now we are back to the basics and I'll stick to my hypothesis (I explained elsewhere in the threa

Apple's new Music app absolutely ruined my entire local music collection one day, when updating from macOS 11.4 to 11.5 (I think). My music collection traveled with me from OS update to OS update for about 13 years with no problem. And

Yes but your momentary reaction to what you see, how much of it is "social"?

Can you bring some examples of films that are considered bad, rated say below IMDB 5, but are novel in some way? I don't know of any. There are some edge cases "so bad it's good" like The Room, but I personally don'

Exactly, and I think the 21st century artists have pretty much figured it out already and it's why new art created these days removes the aesthetics and focuses on the surprize alone (Damien Hurst, Jeff Koons, etc.)

Social signals exist, no doubt about it, but that doesn't explain a lot. Let's say you are in a museum alone, some of the works presented can resonate and excite you more than the others, but you can't share your excitement w

I was expecting this essay to mention novelty. What we appreciate in art really comes down to novelty and therefore good taste is the ability to recognize it. Which in turn requires the observer to have a solid background in the genre (i.e.

The two main problems with VR not feeling quite right is the virtual world not reacting to focus and aperture changes in our eyes. The brain gets confused, and that creates this sense of confusion and that something is wrong. These can be s

You should add your retention rates into the picture though. The ad network can bring you really shitty users who had incentives to click (usually from within games) but are absolutely not interested in your product. These can be real users

It's not about touching the keyboard. Building a program in your mind is like building a machine. A program is a machine and therefore you use the same area of your brain that e.g. you use while building a Lego object.

I've also noticed that coding and speech are compatible in a sense that they are probably processed by different parts of the brain and can be done simultaneously. Coding is closer to mechanical work, or let's say it's like b

Domain squatting is like a disease, but how would you regulate it? Where is the line between just a parked domain that a lot of tech (and non-tech) people reserve for their future projects, and a domain acquired for re-sale? Given a good of

There was once a really nice open source cross-platform framework called Apportable that provided an Obj-C compatibility layer on Android. You could develop your app on iOS and then last moment build it on Android with some minimal changes.

I see your point, except the world doesn't end in the US and the country's three-letter agencies. There are countries outside of the US that might have their own goals and ways of achieving them (see the Pegasus scandal for exampl

In short: don't let your users become your product managers. The real PM's exist for a reason.

Well then who lobbied those standards? But undoubtedly advertisement and more subtle product placements made their job even easier.
