In this case we're talking about apps monitoring the copy buffer when they aren't foregrounded. Your example of monitoring a comment box isn't what we're discussing. In the copy buffer example, I think a privacy model of

I'm disappointed that so many people think "hey they could just be doing this for innocuous reasons" instead of "oh maybe nobody should be doing this even if it's the absolutely most straightforward way to do it.&qu

That's what the author is saying though. The classification of "bug vs. feature" is irrelevant to the user, and trying to convince someone to call it something other than a bug to make the developer feel better is missing the

I've only got partial insight into this, so maybe someone else can fill in gaps. Power consumption in a digital chip traditionally happens many ways: dynamic power is the energy consumed moving charge around to actually flip a signal a

Mmmm yeah I would believe that. I guess it could've been better written with something like "even so, some users are leaving and the ones doing so due to financial hardships..." Thanks

Ahh, Robin Sloan's blog is such a treasure! I still deeply enjoy Dancing the Flip Flop ([0], but also linked in this essay) every time I think about it, never mind actually read it. Robin's perceptiveness and storytelling reminds

Interesting way to spin that: "CEO of a car company says cars are more likely to kill you than this pandemic." I think he's wrong, and it's got to be hyperbole to say "not within the top 100 health risks" given

Does Doordash get damaged here? Or does the story become "all these other restaurants work when I order from Doordash, except that this one screws it up"? Because that's what people will assume. Doordash has VC money to burn

by patrickyeon 7y ago
It sounds like, in one case: 1) Doordash takes order on their site 2) Courier shows up to pick it up 3) Order never got to the restaurant, customer is confused, customer blames restaurant. In the phone example: 1) Doordash connects the cust

That took me by surprise too. One hypothesis could be that so many companies that levels.fyi tracks have grown so quickly that they've chosen to stuff themselves full of relatively junior SWEs. I think there are lots of reasons people

Because a whole bunch of chips you want to use are on I2C. And/or you want to work with a large number of devices, and a chip select per is a lot of GPIO to burn on this. Also you're going to want to handle errors and bad devices

by patrickyeon 7y ago
A blanket ban like this isn't particularly useful advice. I2C is perfectly useable in less-than-perfect environments, and LEO isn't really as harsh as people make it out to be. It's really only going to be a problem if you as
