This happens everywhere in Apple products. It thinks it knows better than you, and completely screws power users. Try manually adding IMAP/POP/SMTP servers in Mail in both iOS and MacOS. First off the process is nowhere near con

There are so many quirks between the way Mail behaves on iOS vs Mac, its infuriating. At the core of it, if you are manually adding IMAP/SMTP/POP, both just need to get out of the way and stop trying to help. Very typical of App

Shiny is a great package. Not unlike R (and PHP back in the day) it was made by people that were not necessarily great programmers who wanted something to get up and running quickly. Lowering the bar to entry made sacrifices to performanc

This exactly. However, they did say there was "no compromise in payload." If they can get those numbers at full payload, that would be impressive. Current generation of trucks can max pull half of the minimum weight of a shipp

My first job in development was at a lending division at a bank. After that, I was at a large health insurance company. (1999-2005) Waterfall certainly did exist and it got even worse at the health insurance company. My official title was

The article is just stating reality in a sensationalized way. In summary, the article states that in the majority of cases, what was expected to happen happened - black enrollment went down, Asian enrollment went up. However, in a minorit

Technically true, but people are naive to think the catalyst to file the lawsuit wasn't the NEL. CDL had been going on for years in a bit of a cold war. Publishers had a lot to lose if they lost CDL and just lived with it. When NEL h

This is how I describe Buc-ee's to those who aren't familiar - Imagine a convenience store that's the size of a football field. Inside is freshly made, but not healthy at all food and the cleanest bathrooms you will ever see

You know what gas station this model works at? Buc-ee's. They're the most reliable place to charge your Tesla in Texas. Katy, TX has 16 stations. You're going to blow 30 minutes to an hour inside the Buc-ee's anyway.

26% actually seems quite low to me. In my experience with EV rentals, it was over 50%, and I kept track. In 2022, I purposely rented a Kia to go from SF to Sacramento. I wanted to try it out and thought of all places in the US, Northern C

As a native Hongkonger, love this and appreciate it. Tools like this will be especially important as Mainland continues to Chinafy Hong Kong.

My boss, the VP of Product, went on a spree about GenAI these past few months. We've been working on regular prediction and optimization things, but when ChatGPT went nuts, everything was GenAI. He was reading generative AI into RFPs

Talking Moose, Kaleidoscope, Kilroy. So much fun and made your OS so unstable. First rule of troubleshooting was always “turn off all extensions.” :)

As an engineer recently turned technical product manager, I think this is one of the values I've provided. I focus on feature deliverables and meeting timelines. How you get there is sausage making that doesn't need to be over-em

Sounds like they found and interviewed a bunch of bowling gatekeepers - the type who would get on you for not doing something “the right way.”

Married to a current vet and you’re right. The clients are the worst. People are shit. Suicide is a huge problem in the field. My wife’s class of slightly over 100 has had two suicides.

Shipping companies are clueless about tech, and tech companies are clueless about the day to day activities of shipping. They think they can tech their way through all problems. We recently met with a big tech company who we were told to p

This experience has given me first-hand experience of a PE takeover, and the standard line of PE guts the soul of a company and sells off everything is crap. I don't know how many meetings I've been at where the PE team blatantly

I'm in the terminal side of this business. While this seems very interesting, and I'm sure some line will poke at it, it seems very academic. I'm curious if they actually partnered with a shipping line to come up with this.

Yes, but what have you done for me lately? Certainly Britain’s imperial history speaks for itself. However the last 25+ years of tech startups has shown us the psyche has changed.

I get you're saying it's not the key point, but in practice, it really should be. The spay and cost numbers were just examples. In general, yes, spays are safe, but it is anesthesia. There's a risk of death and it gets much

Married to a boarded vet of over 20 years. She's been through the era of working for privately owned clinics and now the PE-dominated landscape. 100% agree with you. The comments here range from short-sighted to plain-old stupid, es
