Thanks for the excellent advice. I’m 31 and I’m curious to learn what you would tell someone my age to learn about low level stuff. What are the things you would suggest to learn and what resources do you recommend? Thanks, again!

I still want to be able to charge my phone and listen to music using the headphone jack. How is that not even a use case anymore? I don’t like the AirPods because they are too easy to lose, and I’m so clumsy with headphones that I buy cheap

How much do you make from Toptal? A year ago I started the process with them, and they told me that they generally have regional rates. They corrected that programmers are free to choose their own hourly rates, but hinted that you won'

Can I still use AWS though? Does the setup scripts remain the same? I had already set up an AWS server (my company has provided us some cash for personal learning) from the old lessons, but haven't started the lessons yet. It'd be

I think that Auth Tokens are easy to understand, use, and implement. They can generally be invalidated if the developer feels that they have been compromised. Some APIs also use self-invalidating auth tokens based on an expiry date. For mor

Nope, this still does not work. I restored my iPhone to factory settings which erased the OS and then re-installed the updated iOS11 (I was on iOS10). I restored the phone from my local backup, downloaded Uber and tried to sign-in with a ne

Haven't tried it. Will I be able to restore from backup after this, though?

OP Here: So, is there any solution how can I start using the Uber app again? Uber support doesn't seem to care what the issue is and keeps telling that they can't do anything about it. I don't have any other Uber apps install

But, in my case, isn't this the wrong use of DeviceCheck-ing? Why is it not allowed by Uber's policies that a user get a new phone number and make a new Uber account? How is that fraudulent? I tried explaining the same to the Uber

Perhaps a follow-up blog post on which department the people who attended the program were from and how did the program help then in their day-to-day work. Once, we have success stories, more companies would be interested in implementing su

Woah... this definitely seems over the board! If all of this is required, it's a recent thing, I guess. I have been to the US multiple times with a B1-Business Visa and didn't do any of this stuff. I just showed up and the customs

You can go to the Reader mode on Safari and export as PDF, then email the PDF to your Kindle (enabling conversion). I did that and it looks near perfect. However, you have to do this for each article, which takes some time. Well... not as s

This is not just for contracts. Gigster does that even when recruiting. After three rounds of interview, I got a canned response that they are unable to take my application forward. I asked them for feedback and got the same reply that they

I seriously don't understand why the updated Uber app asks to access my location all the time -- as opposed to only when I'm using the app. Not only is it not required but it's a huge drain on the phone's battery, potent

Has anyone completed any business courses / specialisations on Coursera? Are they worth it for a developer trying to make the move into a business-oriented role? And, do you think, that certificates matter for securing such roles in co

Probably that's why the new app sucks... just like it's predecessor.
