What part of the world are you in? I have always found it incredibly accurate in regards to precipitation in the midwest US states.

Eagerly awaiting a Firefox release that improves power consumption on Mac to a point where it is at least close to competitive with Safari. That, plus the rumors that iOS will soon allow 3rd party default browsers and I'm all in Firefo

One 90 minute leadership meeting a week. Generally, that will be it, unless there is another issue that requires hashing something out. For my engineering team, I try to keep "meetings" at 0. Well organized asynchronous communicat

The Signal iPhone app has made huge improvements over the years and is just about as user-friendly as WhatsApp as far as I can tell. I would love to see it match the smoothness and responsiveness of the animations found in iMessage. It seem

I wish restaurants in the midwest would start embracing contactless payments. A local place I frequently visit finally introduced portable terminals that the wait staff brought to your table and I was pumped. They reverted back to the old w

I've always wondered why it isn't done like this. It doesn't seem like it would make a difference to Spotify. Is it the record label forcing the current model?

Apple Maps has come a long way since its disastrous initial release. For about a year now, I have rarely used Google Maps. I typically find Apple Map's routing to be just as effective, even for avoiding traffic, accidents, etc.

I couldn't agree more. For 5 years prior to 2019, I would routinely get excited about building a project. Despite being an experienced Rails developer, I'd spend hours upon hours researching and learning all the latest and greates

They can, but I'd argue that if I type "basecamp" into a search engine, the first result should always be basecamp.com, not ads for their competitor.

This is correct. Our company was under the Quicken "Family of Companies" umbrella, but we were a 5 person start-up building a web app unrelated to Quicken.

I used to work closely with Quicken Loans and other FoCs and can attest that this behavior is commonplace. There is this strange culture within the Family of Companies where non-tech leaders think that tenured Quicken engineers and tech peo

I've had transactions getting through every once in a while but most are not.

by pgm8705 7y ago
This is a good idea. I've been working out a plan to move transaction processing to background processes to help with web throughput. I'd imagine I could solve for this problem at the same time.

I get that point, but I run a platform powered by Stripe Connect. Redundancy at that level would require the customers who sell their products through my platform to set up an additional account, go through additional KYC, etc - which is un

This is painful. I get a text notification every time a transaction fails... they're really flying in right now. Losing a ton of revenue and it is completely out of my hands.

This has been my experience. Every few months or so we sign in to Google Hangouts Chat in hopes it has made some progress so we can stop paying for Slack, but it is always a disappointment.

by pgm8705 7y ago
I've never experienced this very common criticism of slack on here. When I occasionally check, Slack is using around 500mb or RAM. A lot for a chat app? Sure. But it has little to no affect on either my 16gb or 8gb machines.

You could sign up for YouTubeTV, Hulu, SlingTV, etc. I'm not saying the cost is worth it for just a few basketball games, but it definitely is easy to get access.

My previous experience with Google Drive was that it would chew up CPU and memory a lot more than I liked. I've been pretty happy with iCloud Drive since I switched to it. Works seamlessly and effortlessly on my Mac and iPhone, afforda

Some of the features look pretty great but I can't help but fear the day when they decide to discontinue the Macbook.

According to Spotify, they were not able to start developing an app until recently. They've finally released an app, but all it does is control the music playing from your phone. Source: https://www.timetoplayfair.com/t
