If we do eventually move back to in-person conferences, I hope they keep recording the keynote ahead of time. I have enjoyed the amount of depth they get into, the transitions and overall polish, and most importantly not having to pause eve

I could see it as being an either/or thing - you can get an annual stipend on home office gear or reimburse part of the cost of a coworking space.

Glad to see this is happening even with the largest employers. And for those employees who absolutely need that in-office/social experience, then you can offer them a credit to go rent a coworking space for the days that they need it.

I think not being able to look forward to doing anything new on a weekend is the reason mental health is plunging...not the fact that the commutes have been eliminated.

This seems incredible to me. Shouldn't there be some sort of circuit breaker in place to limit the blast radius of an incident like this?

The biggest change I've had to make this year is to dedicate my working space to just that - work. Before, my desk used to serve as my PC gaming setup as well as the sometimes work from home zone. However, sitting at it all day every d

For me, a big draw of gaming is being part of the zeitgeist. New game comes out, I want to try it, talk about it online, etc. Sometimes my friends get into a game extensively (like COD Warzone) and I don't want to be left behind. If I

Has anyone dipped their toe into this course at all? I wrote a very, very simple Android app several years back and have been intrigued by iOS development since the introduction of SwiftUI, but I'm not sure if there is material I shoul

But for every moment like that, there are dozens of times I've been in a theater and people have applauded scenes that don't really deserve it or are totally unnecessary. It gets old. Or it's the same people who have seen the

They had a little momentum building but they broke app compatibility between versions 7 and 8. Why would any developer trust them again?

I'm not so sure about that. "This" WFH situation we are now in is very different from what a normal remote-only situation would be like after COVID times are over. People are at their wit's ends right now because they ca

I wish Nintendo would just take some ideas from other companies in the areas of online play and incorporate them into their own products. My friends and I would love to play Mario Kart on Switch with each other, but we can't be bothere

> One of the things I've noticed, especially during heavy rain is the crazy amount of plastic bottles that end up in the rivers, which then go to the ocean. Tell that to half of Philadelphia that throws their trash in sewer grates.

Exactly my take on it as well. Very interested to see what happens.

I just can't buy into Google hardware anymore. When they first introduced the Pixel, I thought that by version 3 or 4 that they would have made vast improvements and "figured it out", like Microsoft did with the Surface Pro 3

This seems like a massive feature that I can't believe hasn't been baked into Chrome yet. I know Safari has an implementation but it always feels limited and of course cannot be used on Windows or Linux. I need to put this through

This would have been a great direction for them to go in - but the desktop building market is pretty niche these days compared to the people in the market for a MacBook Air or similar alternative.

I always got the impression the schools were like after-school daycare for kids. A lot of the demo computers as well as the demo XBoxes were always full of kids playing Minecraft, Overwatch, etc. The other ones might have kids watching Yout

Not the case at all. It's about the fact that they build reputation off installation data from all Windows users, and the catch-22 that can create for new developers just starting out with their first app.
