One technology related bubble eventually succeeding does not imply the eventual success of every technology related bubble. There are plenty of bubbles that never really recovered (ex. the Japanese stock market crash of 1989), and technolog

This is inaccurate, the preloading that AMP on Google Search does is a significant advantage over anything you can do with current web technologies.

The Android Camera API is notoriously bad, and the Camera1/Camera2 switch isn't helping either. I would guess the main reason they do the screenshot approach is that it's actually faster than asking Android to take a photo an

This article is pretty bad. There's no reason that automous vehicles have to be linked to electric vehcules, it just happens to be the case that Tesla is pushing both. The Lexus cars that Waymo uses are not electric for example. Automo

As a developer who gives interviews, I enjoy using Lever. It's very easy to use for getting information on candidates and providing feedback on interview performance. I haven't heard any complaints from the recruiting team either,

This has not been true for me, or anyone else I know. Even friends from colleges I've never heard of with degrees in non-CS STEM majors found jobs paying 100k+ within months of graduation.

I've really appreciated how Quora handled stock options, especially in contrast to all these horror stories. Quora uses 10-year exercise periods[1], and provided me with a spreadsheet regarding what the outcome for me would be given so

They currently have a max speed of 25 mph or something, even on roads with faster speed limits. It's a bit annoying when you're stuck behind them.

I don't think Alexa is that great. I have one, and it's pretty bad at voice recognition compared to my phone. Google voice recognition on my phone gets what I'm saying basically 100% of the time. I have to constantly repeat m

I've been doing Android development since the G1 release. I agree with most of these points, but think they're also not a huge deal after you've been working with the platform for awhile. The biggest issue is by far the itera

Yes, I prefer open offices. It makes the office feel more alive and interesting, and I'm less likely to get distracted since I know other people can see my screen. I have no difficulty concentrating because of noise, in part because my

I actually prefer modern Samsung variants of Android over Google (aside from the not-updating quickly thing). I really prefer S Planner over Google Calendar, and the Samsung Keyboard is superior to the Google Keyboard too (Samsung's ru

In general, when "you" do things in VR that you'd normally expect strong feedback for in your head, and you don't, you feel sick. Some examples: strafing side to side (try it), going up stairs, any sort of sudden acceler

I've never heard that computer science grades are bimodal, I thought it was that performance in programming is bimodal? It's always been relatively obvious to me that grades were not bimodal since I could just click and see the gr

I feel like an easy solution is to just pay people $20 when they vote so that it's no longer an irrational decision. People will find a way to register and vote if there's a financial incentive. Part of the problem right now is t

To be fair, if you're pulling from a compromised repo, you're already in a bad spot. There's a good chance you're going to be making and running the code you cloned, at which point you'll execute whatever arbitrary

I don't have Adblock on for Youtube and I've never gotten a popup like that. All of their ads are video ads. Are you sure you don't actually have a virus (that's causing the popups, not due to the message itself)?

I'll second that Android Studio has absurdly slow builds times. It's not pretty common to have 2+ minute build times, and I'm using a MBPr mid 2015. I actually asked an Android frameworks engineer about this, and it seems li
