It doesn't always stay on whatever you last used, though. I mostly use Following but it always inevitably ends up back on "For you".

I've used Carplay in a few cars. Mine doesn't even have it built-in, I swapped in an aftermarket Pioneer headunit that has Carplay. It's worked fine with various sizes of screen. As far as lag, there's some lag when usin

As far as I understand it, it still uses Bluetooth to establish the connection, but the rest is done over Wifi (someone can feel free to correct me if not).

Interestingly enough to me, all the things you mentioned are "accessories". Not full-fledged products (arguably Ping was right around when social media like MySpace/Facebook really were going full-steam so I think Apple was j

The last time I flew Singapore Airlines (maybe 3 years ago?) for an LAX->NRT flight and back, their system felt smoother than anything else I'd used on a plane before. IIRC it seemed to be built with Android or similar. Thought that

Surely unrelated but Disney finally decided to go after the MarvelStudiosSpoilers subreddit.

One place I interviewed with last year did something similar in that it was more of a BYOSD (bring your own system design). So it meant I got a chance to think through complex systems I've worked on, mock up a diagram beforehand, and t

I've visited for a total of a month across multiple trips. I don't really know any Japanese, maybe the odd words here and there but that's it. Major cities all have fantastic english signage. Just not everyone speaks English

A lot of people will say to do your socializing outside of work. IMO the kinds you described are really helpful for work collaboration and even politics. Plus when you build better communication relationships with coworkers for regular chat

I've known people with several thousand followers whose accounts get stolen ("hacked") and then they have no way to get Instagram to restore their access, so they're forced to make a new account. I guess it'd be hel

Yeah, isn't that normal precipitate? I'd be worried about if there's ash from the burn off that then mixes with water to become lye. Not sure if there's more of a chemical reaction necessary than that. I had a vinyl wrap

That is definitely the case. I guess I was thinking more in terms of how the recommendations just one day populated with cool science content for no obvious reason in a format (shorts) that works so well.

by spike021 4y ago
YouTube recommendations have always sucked for me. But ever since Shorts was released, I constantly get amazing science channel shorts that are usually bite sized chemistry or physics experiments. I'm really enjoying them. Not sure how

One time I was flying into Atlanta during a thunderstorm with reported tornado warnings nearby, and I vividly remember the turbulence being so bad that at times it felt like the plane just dropped several hundred feet in mid-air on approach

Last year I applied to and then interviewed with roughly 15 companies between about March and August. It wasn't terrible but toward the end some of them stopped the process during freezes, which was a bit frustrating. I'm not an a

My smaller company had a layoff and since I just joined back late last year plus am feeling slower than usual I feel more anxious about things if we do another wave of layoffs eventually. Doesn't help matters since I'm trying my b

Not sure why you cherry-picked a fragment of my original statement? As with anything, there are variables to consider, and there might not be enough of a measurable difference.

I have some experience with this. I live in California, have a Subaru BRZ, and for a while I had a Flex Fuel "kit" installed onto my fuel line/ECU, along with a specialized tune. At least for that platform the cost depends on

Huh, today I learned. That's interesting. Reminds me of how the ownership is for some of the convenience stores are too.

I'm really curious how this will affect Yahoo. I know it's not used nearly as much these days in America, but in Japan it's still fairly ubiquitous for Yahoo Auctions.

It's an interesting point for sure. My current job's offer letter explicitly said "spike021 will be working from $spike021_address". But I wonder if that's considered legally-binding for the company. I signed it and

I've gone on two separate trips. I did have this feeling at times. What helped though was finding groups of people who shared hobbies with me. This way I could chat with them, even using Google Translate, and have some form of that con

The older Freestyle (IIRC) also had this. It was my first "smartphone" before I got a real smartphone. I actually kind of miss being able to listen to the radio that way. Not sure how well it'd work these days since most peop

After having worked at a FAANG and having friends who still do, the way I've seen it is that with your YOE to work basically solely as an IC with less mentorship responsibilities you have to be in a highly specialized, challenging area

If I have an apartment and I'm single, but the plan that best fits my needs has an allowance for streaming on two or four devices at once, then why should I not be able to share that extra device I'm never using but paying for?

by spike021 4y ago
I still listen to baseball on the radio. Although I'll mention that nowadays it's also streaming online. So I really only use it with AM radio in the car.

I graduated with my CS degree back in 2016, but admittedly really disliked the curriculum at my university and have lacked some crucial knowledge. One of the series I've picked at and skimmed at times for reference and relearning some

If you watch Youtubers who do cooking, Ethan Chlebowski recently did a really interesting comparison video [0] between different types of canned tomatoes, mostly to compare San Marzano across brands. As someone who's not much of a cook
