I agree. In many cases, don't start with either (app or site). In other cases (or in cases where you've grown up to the point of needing an app or site), start with one that is right for your user.

IMHO, the reasons mentioned are not very convincing. Your goal, when starting a product, is to find whether you serve a real user need or not. So, start with a website or a mobile app depending on what suits your users needs better. Where w

Most browsers still don't have a second line of defense (like password managers do), correct? So, if a user has access to my browser for two mins, they can see all my passwords in plain text. They can't if my passwords are in pass

I used to do something like this too before I moved to password managers. The reasons were: - If a password on a website is stolen or if the website forces me to change password, then my "rules based password generation" becomes a

This is a very good point. Before seeing this point, my initial reaction was, "Nope, it's way too early to worry about quantum computing." But, the security cost / risk of being few years late can be so high for nations

I can’t keep up with whether it’s fat, sugar, carbs, or anything else that I need to avoid to lose weight. I’ll just try to eat food that’s not very processed / not very artificial and eat small portions. I’ll just try to very roughly

- "Product so good that people wanna tell others about it" doesn't mean this is an excuse to hide in a corner and keep building the product. Product can't be "good" if it's not based on frequent and lots o

Exciting research for someone who did their best work recently. But maybe scary for someone who think their best work happened few years back.

Thank you! Do you recommend a few books or courses that would have better / more relevant coverage for people interested in the space?

Sorry, I meant to say 10 frames (for 30 fps). Fixed.

Very cool! But, as others said, I'd want to look at the latency. Some animations in Dark Souls 3 are 8-10 frames long (ie, about 300ms). Reacting to such quick animations may completely fall apart depending on the latency introduced by

How is your experience with WSL? Do you get stuck in a lot of corner cases with it? Or does it work seamlessly most of the time? Guess not, considering you’d “greatly prefer Linux working on root.”

Such articles always give too much importance to the hardware (which is somewhat important, no doubt) and not enough importance to the software. Many people are looking for quality alternatives to Macbooks, Mac Mini, etc (myself included).

They are talking about things like generics. Considering the years it took for a team of people to build Go, I think it’s fair to assume they didn’t just forget about generics and that it was an intentional decision.

I never understand this “If you’re so worried, take action” argument. We all have concerns about thousands of things. I’m concerned about kids’ education in the whole world, I’m concerned about animals getting killed for fun, I’m concerned

This comment seems unnecessarily hostile. But, still, I'll change my previous comment from "there is" to "there may be" so that it's clear that I'm not claiming any data. Just guessing (reasonably, based o

With sufficient data, I'd expect self-driving cars to be better at predicting what such leans mean. Moreover, for every one human driver who notices such a lean, there may be another human driver that doesn't even notice a pedestr

Well, yeah, because they're talking about FB the product, not FB the company. From that point of view, "FB sucks and I'm using Instagram now" is a very valid statement.

The global scale makes even that cheap computing become fairly expensive. So, it's only natural that we'll take punch card type ideas (at local scale) from the past and apply them at our global scale.
