   I've done as best of a search as I could and can't find anything which indicates they've passed — but they have been inactive for a few years now. Maybe someone at Tabnine knows...

   I think the hype cycle is getting faster. In the last 5-10 years we've seen the birth, huge interested and investment in, and eventual decline of: self-driving vehicles; smart glasses; AI powered home assistants; blockchains; Web3, NFT

   Maybe some industries (or countries) but it's very much here to stay in Europe in the agency/consultancy/non-FAANG tech market. In my most recent job search, "fully on prem" technology rules were quite rare.

   As an outsider, it often feels like Silicon Valley like organisations have a particularly unique culture compared to the rest of the Western corporate world. It's built from decades of hacker culture, start-up mythos, antidisestablishm

    Yes, my suspicion is that most were forced into that position by macro economic trends, i.e. Facebook and smaller start-ups. Where as Google's delay in announcing this helped distance themselves from being lumped into the financial woe

    I spend some free time reverse-engineering obscure game formats, and my observations is that this is universally true of everything.

    I have a degenerative corneal disease and dark mode is hands down the best trend in interface design in recent memory (its gotten to the point where I use Tampermonkey scripts to force invert pages to help legibility.) In any case, whether

    I would assume in this instance a lack of license is equivalent to all rights reserved (instead of a OSS license) if they're within a country where copyright is vested automatically. (But yes, this could certainly use a MIT or similar

    I worked on a Decentraland project, as-of-yet and probably never to be launched, that highlighted one major thing — its a digital real-estate bubble. People are buying land as a investment, and doing nothing with it. The inflated cost of la

    I thought Google Analytics could be GDPR compliant by simply not loading it until the user has consented? (i.e. the cookie popup hellscape we now live in)

    I feel like banned books act as a litmus test for the broader political and social landscape. If a group were successful in banning works on, say, critical race theory, it might both be a signifier that the broader cultural tolerances are s
