I've not reverse engineered the FB app. I also don't think I'm legally allowed to. I'm simply "speculating" that a large number of reimplemented classes might not be the reason for the increased binary size fro

I think this is a totally baseless comment. 1. Have you worked at Facebook as an engineer before? Do you first hand know that most engineers working on FB iOS app lack the experience and interest? 2. Have you reverse engineered the FB app a

Totally in sync with you. I used to work for Zenefits, and if there's one technical reason I could point to for the company's failure to calculate accurate insurance rates (and eventually get a lot of support cases leading to less

"Unlike Apple, which only allows apps to be downloaded from its own storefront, Google’s platform is more open." Oh the irony. Android is more open than iOS and yet its Google that EU found to be at fault with Android. How is this

Can you give examples of why its bad? While it isn't as contextual as it can be like web-search, I haven't found it to be "bad". Slack's search is what I call bad

There are certain things in the original comment that I agree with(in certain situations I too have found Alexa to be better performing than Google Home), certain things maybe not so much(like this statement "Google used to under promi

Sorry for the irrelevant comment - I've just been looking at your past comments. Looks like your gripe with Google started 4-6 months ago and been continuing ever since. What happened?

Our version of shell_plus was trying to handle aliased models that were defined in settings.py. In order to do this, it was maintaining a map of {appName: [list of imports]}. When constructing this map, for some reason, it n^2 the imports -

I've come to the realization in my short career that 90% of my time will be spent on activities that produce 10% impact and 10% of my time will go towards activities that have 90% impact. But the 10% time producing 90% impact stems fro

My thoughts precisely. I mostly use rebase, except when I know multiple commits in my feature branch will cause merge conflict with master - in that case, I save myself the trouble, do a merge and be done with resolving all conflicts in one

This is very interesting - back when I joined Amazon, one of the new hire on boarding questions was about how to deal with bad reviews and the principle was to just leave them as it is and not delete it - I am not 100% sure about it though

I worked at Amazon for a while and the point to note is that the Fire phone, despite being a public failure, led to a lot of things at Amazon. For ex: 1. The computer vision and machine learning stuff behind the 8 cameras on the Fire phone

I definitely wouldn't call AWS, Echo from Amazon occasional. I think companies come in all shapes and sizes - some focus 90% on their core, some try to spend more time and diverge out to other business segments. Its upto Apple to figur
