+1 to Jon Gjengset; I learned a lot about clearly explaining programming concepts and a theoretical problem!

I’ve poked around with GUI code in Rust and it just feels strange without some flavor of OOP. To me it makes much more sense to develop GUI apps with a bit higher level of abstraction (or lower?) than a rather functional interface.

That’s honestly what I thought it was at first!

From my friends who studied neuroscience, the hardest part is getting any signal from the crazy amounts of noise. Maybe with the crazy amount of ML research poured into that space we can get one of those nice cross-disciplinary breakthroug

It... says "Ad" in a alt-colored tag, has a completely different background. Only one ad, vs. google.com, which can show up to 4 identically-styled ads. Apple isn't anti-advertising, they're anti-tracking, pro-privacy. T

Also, the LiveOverflow YouTube channel has some great, accessible (yet very technical) videos on security!

Yup! Adam Neely has a great video[0] talking about how serious of a role any theoretical framework has on understanding the music itself -- and how in the US at least, we very often prescribe European standards of harmony on music. [0] htt

Well, that's the thing -- when listening to any song, even if you know the pitches, it is impossible to know if there are accidentals or not depending on the phrase. If a 10-bar phrase modulates in bars 2-5, and you listen to bars 2-5

"The next time you miss something, it's over" I'm so disgusted by some people's entitlement, especially in academia. The student's ENTIRE country's internet is getting shut down and the best the professor

I love keeping Sublime Text installed even for iOS work for just this reason -- no (smart) autocomplete and debugger make it hard to use day-to-day, but the raw speed at which it can navigate code is just awesome.

> It's not surprising that FAANG often designs their own internal systems that handle this sort of thing This is one reason why I've loved using Notion. I maintain a few open source repos, and our team's process has grown

Trying to explain that code is more than "well, it works!" is especially hard. Maybe its just the part of programming that's more an art than a science?

Alternatively, throw some AI in there ( https://krisp.ai/ ) :P

Clean design, but the contrast could be a lot better (light gray on white). Company logos would be cool too!

There's this project called "Microsoft Windows" that's done this for decades. You want to be the one digging through 1998-era C++ to fix a bug? Didn't think so.

I totally feel that last bit w/ Linear. I took it with Data Structures/Algos, which was fascinating! In one class, we had a guided lab that was (basically) implementing PageRank, while in Linear we were approaching that problem _e

Same; I paid premium and haven't looked back. Apps are fantastic and the service itself is super straigtforward and has a great catalog. (Feels so strange to "review" Spotify, haha)

You could always dive into something ancient like COBOL that is objectively never going to change, but people will always need. Same goes for similar languages of that era (FORTRAN, etc.)

Yeah! This is also the same advice I discovered for open source contributions. Browsing for a cool-looking project on GitHub is nowhere near as motivating as a breaking bug as you start working with a library, haha.

To refame that comment a bit: almost every single resource you find on motivation will mention that motivation is not a matter of passion, it's a matter of discipline. In every hobby there is always a sense of discipline, it's jus

Apple risks damage to their brand by not allowing it. It's the same reason why they politely ask Uber and Facebook to fix serious bugs in their apps, rather than removing them with no comment, as they've proven to do with small iO

The code for VVVVVV infamously has switch/case for every possible screen/level in the game[0], which I think is hilarious. Best example of "it works!" [0] https://www.polygon.com/2020/1/13/

Aside from the accessibility concerns -- which is honestly inexcusable -- the non-centered repo layout is so strange to me: All that info that's now in the sidebar is temporary. All of it. I never need to look at a project language mor

Yep, unfortunatley. I left feedback the moment it entered "feature preview", left feedback on all the accessibility it lacked (mainly reducing contrast everywhere), and well, looks like they just rolled it out anyways. Really wish

I was re-watching that old keynote and its great when things like this line up. I like that this time they lined up design changes + hardware -- and that this time hardware was the reason to bump the version. Like, we saw Intel transition

by peterkos 6y ago
I think it reflects the hardware design language from the iPad and iPhone (and Mac honestly) across the whole software stack now. Although that doesn't stop me from not liking it :p
