Can’t you just lock the system down and isolate it enough so the security vulnerability is a non-issue? Certainly there’s an ops solution to things like this.

Are they a big enough developer to really influence Apples API design? I’d think companies like VMWare etc. are more likely to be able to push and prod Apple to do something than a little guy like the Little Snitch dev.

I like Line 6 helix (native) and I also like the UAD amp sim plugs (plexi classic and others).

Plenty of lower income lawyers out there, but yeah. Like anything, the best candidates get the best jobs. You’re not going to a top firm if you graduate at the bottom of your class and went to an average school, unless you have some other m

I kind of wish we had dorms for college graduates thinking about a 500 person dining hall, but I doubt that would be good for the COVID situation.

I think I’ll use your comments as a response next time someone calls me out in a code review or says I deployed a bug. Specifically the polynomial exponentially complicated bits. The look on their faces would be priceless. And they would fo

Not sure where you’re going with the can’t buy crappy stuff anymore argument, from another perspective, most things built today are crappy Chinese junk compared to things built 70 years ago, if they existed 70 years ago. Mending and the ar

I feel like kids are (probably) hard on fabrics and textile coverings, teenagers are hard on everything, and adults are hard on foam supports (if only because weight and body size). Just some assumptions!

Good idea. I have never noticed flicker on any of my lightbulbs. I wonder if some of us are unable to see (most) flicker, even though we may otherwise have great uncorrected vision?

Interesting, though I don’t personally find that useful. I’d rather use a service that finds music I may like based on what I listen to - regardless of origin - than one where I am the curator and must actively search/browse for new ar

Yeah, on second thought, I agree with you, but now I can’t remember what Pipedream is even used for, so I guess that’s a different complaint I have about it. But most software doesn’t have a name that indicates exactly what it is, anyways,

I think it makes sense too, although from a slightly different perspective - that some work was done, and it’s additional work on Stripe (or Stripe’s systems) to refund or reverse a payment. Maybe a small fixed fee makes more sense than a p

Imagine trying to convince management to use a tool named Pipedream, sheesh, couldn’t think of a worse name.

Call me basic, but Spotify's algorithms for discovery are pretty damn good.

by vonseel 7y ago
The other issue with Spotify is that they had no answer for Dropbox, clyp.it or more recently, Bandlab. Um, those things are not an issue for Spotify; Spotify's product is not meant to be used by creators like Soundcloud and definite

I once totaled a car that had SiriusXM and didn't realize until 1-2 years later that I was still getting charged (annually) for the subscription. I think they reversed some of the charges when I finally noticed and called to explain th

What right does someone have to sue before they’ve been hired, anyways, unless it’s on a discrimination basis (in which this case, it is clearly not)? Here in Texas, at least, that sort of thing does not seem like something that would ever

“They want to get in a fight with you.” They want to explain themselves. There is a difference. What you consider an argument or fight is just a Hail Mary, almost an involuntary recovery attempt, for some. Accepting feedback without trying

Just don’t abruptly hang up on them like some interviewers.

Totally agree. I can’t imagine many people enjoy studying for leetcode type interviews, either, unless they are fresh out of a CS program and already practiced with that stuff.

Those prices are too good to be true, reminds me of the sites that sell windows or office licenses to personal users for like 10 bucks.

I’m actually looking for a job and this has come up more than once. I agree with you for the most part. Docker isn’t all that difficult to use and I don’t even see why they bother asking. I just laugh and tell them, yeah, I know docker, alo

You’re spot on about the sliding into poor sleeping habits and withdrawing socially stuff. That hits so close to home it hurts :/ I’m on my way upwards now though, fortunately, hoping to find new employment soon.
