The one that always got me was the feature on OS X where if you move your mouse to another screen and move down, it moves the dock to that screen. It is possible to do without meaning to and it is fairly loose with how it determines that yo

Sorry, don’t know a lot more than I already posted. If you want, email me (contact info in profile), and I’ll ask him when I see him this weekend.

The fact that it is hyperbole. The developer job market here is strong, but unless you are currently grossly underpaid, you aren’t going to swing that kind of increase. Compensation ranges aren’t wide enough for that to be an “easy” thing.

All of the various layoffs I’ve been aware of have included a decent number of engineers. Often it is changing direction or giving up on certain products, so entire product teams get let go. Plus, we’re usually the most expensive.

Yeah, that one has been sad to watch. I worked there several years ago and thought it was a great place, but it seems like things have gone downhill a bit lately.

Lots of layoffs in Utah tech companies lately. Instructure just let go of 10%, other layoffs related to WeWork, and a bunch of other small companies. Still seems like there is a shortage of developers here and most people should find new wo

A lot of the more obscure settings are things you don't need to even know about 99% of the time, but it sure is nice to have them when you need them. Just last week, I was helping with some performance tuning on an application that nee

That's nothing - last week I had a package take 4 business days to travel a total of 10 miles, as part of a longer 14 day journey. It was most likely just sitting at their sorting center, which I can see from my back window. I don&#x27

Super interesting, thanks for sharing! These things are always my favorite to deal with - the feeling at the end when you figure it out is amazing, and you usually learn a ton on your way there, too.

I wasn't sure if I was just dumb or if everyone recommending this book just kept it on their shelves and talked about it, sort of like Knuth or CLRS. I don't necessarily think it is a bad book, but it is hard to think of a better

I think I can see both sides of this argument - the "ballast" method is hacky not just because of it being a sort of magic thing that might be tricky to remember later, but it is relying on undocumented behavior that is not part o

This was a really interesting and insightful comment, thanks for sharing. I think the conclusion I shared in my sibling comment was probably a little too broad. I particularly like this: > In my experience it really comes down to how ma

I think this is pretty common. For tabular data, lightgbm/xgboost/catboost usually give better results and require a lot less work (less pre-processing, for example) than neural nets. One area where I wonder if neural nets would b

Yeah, that one took me way back, too. Descent was the first time I'd ever done multiplayer gaming on a computer. I was maybe 12 or 13 and a guy in my neighborhood was some kind of software developer who would take me and my friend to h

Wouldn't Flink be more likely to replace Spark? I don't hear about a lot of people using Storm these days, but I guess a lot of this depends on whatever bubble you happen to be in.

I think a big part of the problem is the structure of the survey that these stories (and the "debunking" are based on) - I don't think you can fully support either conclusion based on it, for a few reasons: 1) At least a few

I think this is one of the reasons it is hard to interpret this data. You view it as effectively not being able to cover it, but I (and possibly a lot of people responding to the survey) view it as a normal mode of operation to put somethin

I know some banks actually do check them. Last year, my wife paid a contractor with a check from Ally, and the check bounced because the signatures were not close enough.

Wait, what is? The $10 or $20 was money I was paying directly to Twitter for their advertising services, not to some third party doing shady stuff.

Amazon feels like it has gone downhill lately. The last few times I've complained about them not meeting their Prime shipping guaranteed delivery dates, they've been fairly rude and unhelpful.

Interestingly, Comcast has been one of the consistently better support experiences for me over the years. Usually very quick and pretty helpful, even if it is just to schedule someone to come out and look at the problem. Their service in ge

I don't know that any tech companies are good at this? I would, a few times per year, spend $10 or $20 to promote some tweets on Twitter. At one point, I stopped being able to do that, due to some nebulous "violation" of thei

I don't think this argument fully makes sense, because there are already separate charges for the services you describe. The physician who sees you will send you a bill, as will the facility. > I charge clients similarly. I overbid

Having played the same game in both modes, there are definite improvements to the quality with this method. Like I said, in most situations without ray tracing, when you do things like look down the scope of a gun, the reflections are lost,

I think a lasting effect of the crypto craze is that it showed enough gamers were willing to pay higher prices that nvidia shifted the prices of its card up by a few hundred bucks. The RTX 2xxx series has been really disappointing from a pr
