A really large company also has trouble _consistently_ enforcing said policies. Different organizations interpret them in different ways.

It's probably a real pain in the ass to fix - with some dumb tech debt reasons why. But, what's probably contributing the most to it is how Google incentivizes people internally. The promotion process is tied very heavily towards

Apple changed that rule a while back.

The market for services is several orders of magnitude less than the market for products that make use of ML. It's probably ok if they don't focus to heavily on the services side Google makes heavy use of these tools internally t

Right, which you also get via the web animations API (queue up animations, and have them run on a separate thread)

CSS animations are generally on par with JavaScript, except when they're hardware accelerated. But that's changing once web animations ( https://w3c.github.io/web-animations/ ) hits mainstream anyway - both CSS

Holy FUCK TechCrunch's mobile site is frustrating to use. Tap on "read full article" - NOPE, you just clicked on an ad instead. ('cause it relayouts at some point after the page loads and right around the time you want t

Pretty much everything builds against head, and very little is in versioned archives. There's a ton of fantastic artifact caching (that gets invalidated whenever source changes; which is frequently), distributing building, and some rea

It can still be painful to use open source projects internally because of the monorepo's structure. There was/is a rule to have a maximum of one version of any given OSS package at a time (more or less). In general, the rule was

Aren't most of them rule based?

Assume it will happen. The technology is there, and there is sufficient motivation (both for "good" uses and "nefarious" ones). What should we change in our behavior? (I'm not talking about intentionally obscuring p

It forces a company to try multiple approaches to hiring. E.g. having many criteria for what the company considers a good candidate. For example, a tech company that requires college degrees for all candidates might want to loosen that, an

There's a bit of irony here, but in a good way: Switching back to DOM APIs (e.g. document.createElement) was a performance boost . ('cause the browser vendors have done a ton of awesome work speeding up DOM APIs in recent years)

The thing is, we should be applauding people for many of these assertions. At least when they're throwing errors

It's poorly worded. The real problem is that _by default_ npm doesn't pin you to an exact version of a dependency.

That's probably good enough

One thing I'm immediately concerned about is having some way of "pausing" xhyve. Purely because of Android development :( Intel's HAXM doesn't (seem to?) play nice, and asks for an exclusive lock. See https:/

Another iOS -> Android switcher here. I owned every iPhone up to and including an iPhone 6, and then switched to a Nexus 6. From my perspective, the two platforms (and when I talk about Android, I mean Android-on-a-Nexus) are pretty mu

It doesn't matter any more, and hasn't for years. Browser tech has been moving faster than validators can keep up. Newly specced features are being polyfilled, etc. Browsers and search crawlers deal with this; probably time for v

Even worse, (generalization) they get frustrated and blame the team/project when the tool-of-the-day doesn't work out.
