Apple wasn't also the most helpful when it came to motivating developers to port their games over. 30% fee for apps and no native development until 2014 with Metal. Windows had DirectX for a much longer time.

You're under the assumption that the PIP process is fair. I'm a former AWS employee (never on PIP) but I've seen it being applied to very smart and capable individuals. It's just a game of what manager likes you.

What do you mean? You can have kids and two working parents.

Google Docs has helped so many people and companies move forward with collaborative document writing and editing. How is that malicious?

This is completely false and has nothing to do with the article. DynamoDB and MongoDB might both serve JSON but they're used for wildly different things. DynamoDB is a key value store whereas MongoDB is much more than that.

This is great and all but I'm curious on the performance improvements. I'm surprised there are no graphs or charts when show improvement in latency, CPU usage, disk reads, etc

I guess that is a risk I'm accepting. For what it's worth, for photos specifically, Apple keeps them in a deleted folder for up to 30 days. But I'm pretty careful with my digital content and I would much rather them be synced

I guess the first question that comes to mind is what exactly are you trying to back up that can't work with iCloud?

by salil999 3y ago
Apple solves this problem well! Note that I use iCloud family which allows me to share the storage with my family. But for going down the list: A) Mint for most financials. iCloud for storage of documents. B) Apple Health for keeping track

The problem with looking at hourly pay is that I don't feel it applies well to the software industry. I can easily say there are some weeks where I have little to nothing to do and there are other weeks where I'm working a full da

I could totally see Apple turning the iPhone into a Nintendo Switch type device. You can connect it to your Apple TV (maybe even wirelessly) and stream games + play with a controller. The HW is definitely impressive.

Do you have proof nobody uses it? Quick Google search shows that it has slightly under 20% market share: https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share

I can see that point but I think in general the average American will not have a large and sufficient source of income. The article mentions how these firms are slowly raising the debt-to-income ratio to >50%. That's not because the

This has been the case for about two decades now. I genuinely don't know how people who make a median income are surviving in the country.

Yeah this reply doesn't make sense. This is talking about design. You're talking about login. You can stretch it and say UX can be improved but even then it's not as relevant.

I'm curious what people think a fix to this would be. My suggestion would be to have regulations on who is allowed to take on a loan. The ultimate decision can be done by the bank but some basic requirements can be enforced via policy.

Humans. After all, LLMs are designed to reason equal to or better than humans.

I tend to use the Bing version of ChatGPT and I was curious on what model it ran. To my surprise, it was GPT-5! You can check it out at https://web.skype.com

What a narrow minded view. This post and book has nothing to do with the product side of Google. You can argue about their products failing to gain traction in the market. But it's clear that Google is a leader in the software engineer

I had this same issue. Use a shared vault with OTP. Anyone with access to the vault can see the same 2FA code. As for shared SMS, look into Google Voice. They automatically forward SMS texts to email as an option. I created a "shared&q
