Coming to that project with fresh eyes (both, when someone else had written it or I’d written it six months ago), I’d know immediately what to do to make a change confidently in the left picture, and I’d be dreading trying to piece together

I think that’s largely because there’s no job out there titled “CSS developer”. CSS is expected to be one thing among 14 others that a developer is expected to know.

Assuming his goal was to be ready with results of his calculations in real time while on a call, which may happen while you’re away from your computer, it makes sense I think. Excel is great, but on phone while away from your computer? Not

Almost all, if not all, third party clients are closing down, not just Apollo. The only option is a badly designed ad ridden experience now.

In which part of the world? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of powerbanks not being allowed in carry on luggage. I travel with them all the time.

This is v1, I think it’d be a safe bet that those things won’t be an issue in v10. Have to start somewhere, and this is one heck of a start.

Throw in a USB C power bank in your backpack? Also, most seats (even economy) tends to have a usb outlet these days.

Regarding the last paragraph, I think an experienced developer can jump to new frameworks relatively quickly. They won’t be putting out PRs on day one, but can certainly do so in a week or two with a new framework. If your web fundamentals

This. They have all failed at this thus far, it naturally means that anyone trying will fail next time too. For eternity. It’s a well established law of nature at this point, that if new tech isn’t a massive hit within the first few iterati

There’s this thing called travel, where one might go to a different city or country via a car/motorcycle/train/plane. Often people end up staying at “temporary houses” where you’d have access to a bed and a bathroom. But ofte

We briefly dabbled into running a takeaway in the UK; these apps have changed customer behaviour such that if you’re not on it, you won’t get much business at all. So it’s not much of a choice; and yes ordering from one of these apps practi

Guess it’s the culture divide, but it stood out to me that your description makes it sound like it’s second nature to charge immediate family rent on a property you own. Quite bizarre.

No, YouTube DOESN’T provide a complete solution to ads. Once I pay for premium, I still have to sit through 2 -4 sponsor reads per video for many channels I follow. I know that’s not entirely on YouTube, but that doesn’t matter to me as a c

Subjective counterpoint to Arc browser; I spent all of 10 minutes getting used to it, and it’s been a game changer ever since. I can’t actually use chrome/firefox again. That’s wild! Maybe it just fits with the way I use the web natura

One can hope. I’m looking forward to this making more than 50% of the population redundant overnight. Only then will we have the motivation to come up with a better system than one where all of us need to slave away for majority of our live

A simple warning that what’s been generated looks similar to something that’s copyrighted is not a bad idea. Then it’s up to the AI user to do their due diligence if they intend to use the resulting work for commercial purpose. Neutering th

This is a good thing. Your pay shouldn’t depend on how good you were at negotiating on interview day. People with a lesser focus on social engineering don’t deserve lower pay for same work.

Ahh apple forced them to improve this experience after all eh? I remember Bluetooth pairing quite a bit slower and cumbersome on Android pre-airpods era.

No matter how good Google chat gets, it’s inevitable that Google will kill it sooner or later. It’s a non starter.

I would like more diversity too. More importantly, for these systems to communicate over a standard protocol; so I can build my itenerary/playlist(non-Spotify)/location based alerts etc on my desktop/laptop/phone through

Fuel is essential to get a car moving forward. For people that’s motivation, and if doing “meta work” keeps engagement topped up and away from burn out, it’s absolutely just as justified as “actual work”. Natural tech debt build up in codeb

Context switching has a cost. HUGE cost. It takes me over an hour to get “in to the zone” when interrupted from deep work. Emphasis on deep work, Im not talking about writing emails (although that can fall in this category too, not going to

Exactly. The ones who prefer to go in want to drag everyone along with them, which makes me irrationally angry when they try to come up with “objective” reasons for why on-site is better than WFH. You do you and leave me alone.

If I lost my iPhone (and the FindMy network wasn’t able to locate it), the watch can get me by just fine as if nothing even happened. Oh and this was all setup in a couple of minutes when first buying the watch, so unlikely to be in a situa

With strong enough motivation, one could dedicate their life to research in these areas. Much of mankind’s thrust forward can be attributed to such individuals. But this is easier said than done.

This. Vast majority of the companies out there are NOT software companies. Meaning, they don’t have full time developers, at least none with decent experience, on a full time payroll. Their internal tools/portals/sites are either

Hence, only buy hardware products that retain full functionality without a companion app, where applicable. Although the trend it clearly in the direction of locking everything down with software unfortunately.

Isn’t the “Google CPU” just rebranded Exynos? In which is case it’s almost always worse than same generation Qualcomm in performance. One of the reasons why I couldn’t stomach purchasing a Samsung phone here in Europe was that their Exynos
