I actually came across the 400ms number in a 2019 WWDC talk while researching the topic! It said 100ms of that time was delegated to the iOS system for setup, leaving 300ms for whatever your app does. Granted the 100ms section included Syst

Yes, and specifically because I believe startup time to be a rare occurrence when using an app. According to a talk I found [here]( https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/423/ ): there are three

Impressive improvement, but is mobile app startup time that important after a certain threshold? I'm not a mobile dev. If the flame graph extends over the entire startup time, then I'd estimate it to be around 600-700ms (wish they

I find the behavior predatory but not to a point that I can complain about without any more detail. If I swap out senior students with complete strangers, then it kind of sounds worse, but that may be an unfair comparison. One thing that I

This is a lesson I learned too late. Consider extending this idea outside of digital work, to any online hobby. In my case, I think back to all the time I spent on MMOs (basically raised online) and wish I had taken screenshots or recording

For running queries that modify data, I will start with BEGIN, run the query, maybe run some checks, then COMMIT or ROLLBACK depending on if it did what I hoped it would do. Are there any downsides to that outside of more typing? Ah I see t

Sounds like op is willing to take over the roles, and is questioning the effectiveness of separating retrieving requirements (ask the PM/designer) and coming up with requirements (figure it out yourself). Some companies don't let

Interesting, I didn't consider the hash collision angle, as I figured they're normally rare enough to discard as part of average runtime calculations. It does seem to line up with the explanation of the algorithm though - the less

That's a good question - if you mean across the industry as a whole then I would say maybe because I don't have insight into every company. I also mentioned that I think it is harder to determine the low performers in larger compa

I definitely agree on big tech company bloat, but do not agree with those percentages (or at least on average). I also don't think he properly sorted engineers between slackers and non-slackers due to reasons like the speed at which cu

I do prefer the piped version mainly because it removes annoying nesting but that's not high on my prioritized list of discomforts. The issue of deeply nested function calls is a thing, but I just use some temp variables to avoid it wh

Right, totally forgot essay mills were a thing. Originally, outside of plagiarism, I couldn't think of any ways to cheat on an essay. Part of writing an essay, or at least the type of essay I'm thinking of, is researching and crit

And now that they've already cheated and were caught, what happens? Double down? Come clean? Nope, post publicly online for ideas. This person does not seem to think things through. Glad to see cheaters put in their place, although I w

Perhaps not pathological liars, but I have come across a decent amount of people who exaggerate their skills and accomplishments extremely - I don't know if I would categorize that as lying, but they do do it a lot. I try to stay away

If by "thinking" you mean strictly your own thoughts, I don't think public or private should have much, if any, effect. The difference between publicizing your thoughts or keeping them private is what discourse is attracted -

If possible, I would prefer deriving the "userType" from UserAttributes. I see various methods for doing so are covered in the follow-up post linked at the top of tfa. This is also avoidable if you have proper class/interface

So true, a lot of people I've worked with treat adding types as a box to check (eg afterthought) rather than something to leverage.

Yeah I get you, but I think a bit of random exploring/training/looting before knowing the haunt lends itself to a more dynamic experience when you play.
