The article read to me like one of those posted every 6-8 months with random thoughts someone had in one morning reminiscing old days with oranges compared to sports cars and complete disregard that, as time marches on, things change, peopl

Interesting. It is fun to look at this and imagine exciting future. Random things I remember predicted about 2020: + Moon & Mars colonization + Touch-screen TVs + consumer computing moves to Google Glass + VR + Universal currency (BitCo

Aside: Not exactly this, but Amazon, Google(signup page) and few other big infra providers still use squiggly textual captcha. ReCaptcha is used by small players(no offense intended) as ux is often not main priority. You can try to spam ama

Honestly, someone willing to spend effort & time & resources on a big language model will have enough resources to find other ways to access whatever they are hoping for, similarly how they can buy ReCaptcha solve services. So, in a

Off topic: If you are in Germany, the ReCaptcha is displayed in German, even if your browser's preferred language is "en". However, ReCaptcha is now ingrained in muscle memory for people, so they automatically click traffic l

Actually more absurdity is possible in EU. I frequently notice, out of college PM(grad scheme), 1yoe Senior Engineer/Team Lead, out of college R&D Engineer(with BSc only), 2yoe CTO etc.. These are mostly in UK though but still coun

Interesting though, same incident, same news from 2017: hxxps://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-41358640 I'd assume, this will be resolved like the last time, just a minor hitch.

Most repos are interesting but unmaintained, it appears that author brushes up a repo before posting by commit waves and then present on HN.

I like to list some advises from various mentors: - struggling means you are learning, if things are easy you need to find something new to do - having self-doubt (imposter syndrome) is common among people, when you gain knowledge, you are

For AOE fans, AOE has a DE in Steam, pretty graphics for large screens and new music, though underlying game remains the same it seems. AOE-2 has a HD version for large screens, but DE with pretty graphics are coming this November(2019). Ev

Will read the article once home, but for now I have this rule of thumb: if data is of streaming nature & short time valued, infinite scroll, else always pagination. So far worked for me (:

Signal also needs a phone# to activate & iirc, if you have someone's phone number in Contact List, they'll appear, so sort of same issue may be. Only one I know of so far not needing a phone# is Wire.

In Germany, I need to do PostIdent or handover my address+copy of my ID/passport to buy a SIM card. To further check things, telecom sends letters to corresponding address too sometimes.

Agreed. There is no footage of actual skin, just too much focus on the device itself and at 00:01:06 to make things weird, they declare it as "transparent skin". I suspect it is in testing probably and will need more trials on act
