There are entire subreddits devoted to how incredibly fake instagram and TikTok people make themselves look with filters so yes, this is already normal with real people. It would not take much.

Exactly; if it is ‘the same’ but with a guarantee of max 50$/mo then sure, I would pick that, but that is not the case, also not with caps. So it is an entirely different case and usually the 50$ option actually brings you very far wit

Because some people here do exactly the same thing with aws/cloud. Not you but many here treat aws like it’s the thing you should use ‘because scaling and failover and omg 1 sec downtime’. And then the stories like OP showing that it i

I work in fintech (banking and payments) and most of our clients aren’t even allowed to host on aws; they have to go for a local provider because aws doesn’t have a hosting hub in their country. Not sure what part you work in but this has n

I (from NL) have been in ES and PT for a long time and noticed that Spanish natives make a scene when it is urgent; crying or shouting or both with certain types of (semi) gov employees. It works; I get whatever I want, fast. I don’t like i

I have excellent experiences with public healthcare; worst run-ins were in NL (where I am from); best experiences I had in HK, ES and PT. Fast (much much faster than NL) for routine tests (ct, rmi, scopes, radio) and everything else. And no

I find the European content quite good generally; the US content degraded, somehow, in a, for my friends and me, unbelievable over the top woke and inclusive ‘thing’ without a cohesive and usually simply weak/bad story. I hear from my

Ah! I did not know that; I only used DeX a few times. But yes, something like that indeed. Shame they always discontinue things like that. I understand it, but still a shame. We need more diversity and Android simply isn't productive e

Check the Astro Slide. Their entire collection is inspired by the Psion (and using the same designer I think), but the Slide looks like it could be a modern replacement. I was a big fan of the Psion.

I want to be able to replace my desktop. I don't need much power (most of the things that require performance I do on a remote machine anyway), so being able to do whatever with my phone on the road and then plug it into a monitor and

I would like an Android portable 'phone' (I never call but want mobile internet) that can switch to Linux when in 'desktop mode' (so what Samsung has with DeX but then Linux), built on 'open' hardware. Fully op

I still don't mind people calling it light if it is though; maybe it gets removed later, however when it (still) is light, it makes it easy for me to search for so I can prevent overall project bloat.

As long as people are cheaper than robots, not much will happen anyway. I think a lot of jobs can be replaced by robots with enough money, but for that money (and the maintenance costs etc), you can get so many cheap (and more flexible) h

Indeed you can get away with a lot now but just paying (a lot) more money; it feels like design is no longer needed as it works. It is how I make some money; people come to me with; ‘we run some trivial online shop made by our team and with

Similar experience. And MS accusing me I dropped it and refusing warranty. I did not drop it; it was broken out of the shop. It never worked well even after I paid for fixing (they just sent a new one). Would be nice if it worked but maybe

Not sure if it's a counter point; people do 'stuff' and attribute 'other stuff that happens' from the 'stuff' they do. I am a vegetarian eating a balanced diet and have no issues bulking up. Just do whatev

I agree with you and they have a right to do this; issue is; they will lose a lot of members because of this because they were so lax. That’s why it’s is common to think; it is easier to start high and discount than start low and increase

I fall asleep with triggers; for me they are mp3s of comedy tv shows. It needs to be something that I know through and through. I sleep with one earbud in and pass out when max a few minutes into an episode. It stays on when I wake up I sle

So countries that trample human and women rights (and everything that comes from it like child marriage, slavery etc) are just a matter of culture? No problems in the world then, just different culture?

Offtopic: is there a list of bounty programs which, like this one, award feature implementations instead of bug/vulns? Google just gives me bug bounty company lists.

Many people said it already but actual good seniors have networks they get offers from and won’t/don’t do homework. I can see myself apply to your offer, but with decades of enterprise experience, up to date skills and such I cannot se

I moved from android to Apple recently and that is really pathetic indeed. It keeps predicting and correcting words that are obviously not what meant at all.

I find this like the Einstein brain book (Is if Hofstadter?); when you read it fast enough, it is Einstein. When you just open a page, it looks like gibberish.

I do reconsider it all the time; we only have short lives and I cannot build a lot large systems in my life. So that is why I asked if how it is measured. I see that my teams are more effective with static typing, but that also is my manage

by tluyben2 4y ago
Well, how is this measured? My experience working over 3 decades with large teams also says this is so (static typing does prevent bugs) but that is not science. How do they measure this 'when you go and check'? I am really curiou
