This is a major red flag that the firm isn't sufficiently serious about hiring and I would always walk away from a firm without a clear idea of their needs and the number of rounds. My experience with a firm that started with three, th

I'm confused because on my Pixel 4 where I use the built-in password manager (for Chrome and for apps) you always have to interact with the UI (not just the site) to agree to fill in the password but it's not at all inconvenient a

I stayed there for a weekend about four years ago and thought it was a decent place. The only negative thing that stuck out to me was that the shop density was too low as they were all intentionally spaced apart (more than shops in communit

I wholeheartedly agree that UberEats has some serious business process concerns but I'd need to see more cases before being able to assess the claim that this is definitely racist. It could simply be an individual error unrelated to ra

Reaffirming assumptions is a totally valid activity for a redesign of anything so long established, as Windows clearly is. However there are better ways to go about it than lop off widely used functionality and see how much people yell. If

Ah, got it. In that case I'm very much more taken by this approach - as a habit former to bootstrap yourself past a block it does seem like it could be pretty helpful

Perhaps like a Kubernetes cluster of old phones. A quick Google suggests others have looked at this before. Edit: and I completely agree with you, we needn't have Samsung involved, as this doesn't have to be specific to their phon

Looks good and it sounds psychologically appealing but this seems like exactly the opposite of what people who want something from you would want. The description says that people only care about what you've done, but if they're f

It's amazing how much better these tools could be. For instance you would think they'd make finding the correct entrance for deliveries easier, because a failure or delay there results in failed deliveries but they just let it car

Interesting to read someone else's insights and to find so many of them resonate. One point that I don't think has been touched on is manipulating the plot for non-storytelling grounds, which usually happens as they are nearing th

I like the stealth treatment you apply to the loo to reduce edges. Without wishing to imply my own bathroom needs a clean this would actually be handy in people's homes too (even though generally people are less wayward than they are i

I presume you were not trying to be ironic with this request (given how you chose the easy option of inconveniencing others rather than Google/Wikipedia) Anyway, here's a good introduction: https://en.m.wikipedia.org&#x

Completely agree. You can abstract this into a general maintenance aversion. Effectively there is a moral hazard here: when problems are put off there is a strong chance that the cost will be borne by others.

I immediately thought of spleeter too as I've had great success in experiments to strip out unwanted music overlays (eg podcasts that insist on adding their end of show theme tune whilst guests are still speaking!) I haven't tried

Whilst it looks nice, is no one else concerned with passing details to some unknown site? It doesn't seem to have any direct way to make contact nor is there a privacy policy (nor is there anything obviously relevant in the GitHub repo

These speed issues are annoying but the thing that kills my experience is the lost clicks - and when one is missed, because it's quite common that Windows is just being its usual useless self, you then don't know for sure if it re

Maybe I've simply not seen it but it seems odd that there isn't a minification/obfuscation tool that can alter the CSS names to be impenetrable to users. The challenge would be to figure a way for an organisation, or at least

Is this meant to be some sort of amusing tool in the spirit of "because we can" or is there a genuine practical purpose to it?

Yes, this was my concern with applying the lessons more broadly. I would love to see a similar assessment for a company that was substantially staffed from other locations to see how much this is a universal picture or not.
