> Hey we can't pay workers $250/hr Unless those workers were looking to make half a million per year I think that's okay.

It’s kinda like React in that way. And it’s similar in that newer devices run it well enough that devs might think they don’t have performance issues at all, but when using an older iPhone you can start to see it stutter.

As long as it didn't sacrifice the user experience both devices currently have I'd be on board!

It’s not an “or”, it’s an “and” situation. We are both destroying the planet and we only get bad news. Unfortunately, nobody cares about good news. Sure, we all like good news but it doesn’t drive engagement so massive companies can’t profi

Cash is weird because in theory it's a simple way to conduct a purchase but increasingly the coins become lost in the mix. I'm in the U.S., if someone hands me a few pennies/dimes as change they have effectively given me meta

Yeah the original way to get emojis on iPhone was to go in and enable a keyboard hidden among the Japanese category of languages in settings. While apps existed that just basically gave directions for how to enable that.

I never self host out of pure laziness. I like open source because I know (at least theoretically) that I can go in and fix something with a PR in a codebase I don’t “own”. I've fixed like 2 things in projects I've used ever, I ki

I was in SF last weekend for the first time in years and honestly, the city seemed to be doing great. Less homeless and parks cleaner than I remember, transportation fast and easy to pay for as ever.. I'm sure there are huge problems s

by willio58 3y ago
We just need better regulation. Why is it not clearly defined and communicated how, say, a firefighter can take control of a vehicle without having to call the company or break the window to do so? Also, how is it not required that x number

It’s odd to me that people are downvoting you for clearly answering the question.

Interesting point. I agree the word "intelligent" can be a sticking point in this area but just looking at the definition that comes up when I long press the word on my Mac: intelligent | inˈteləj(ə)nt | adjective • (of a device,

Fully agreed. Just because 1 security measure doesn't prevent all malicious attacks, doesn't mean that it "does not help security". It's just fundamentally false because some malicious attacks rely on long expiratio

Definitely true. The only issue with the idea of enforcing strict time limits on take-home projects is you pretty quickly get back to the same issues people including myself have with Leetcode and the like. Like actual day-to-day work, just

Unit tests have their place. They are not a full solution for testing, but they never claimed to be. Unit tests help you confirm isolated aspects of your code, which is helpful in many cases. You still need other types of tests too, but I w

Absolutely. This just ended up being a company with a mission I actually cared about, using a tech stack that had my mouth watering, and a project prompt that allowed for creativity and showing my full-stack chops in a way I hadn't exp

I think that’s a fair take. People feel comfortable with different things. Even in school I always surpassed others on take home assignments and struggled during tests. There’s another aspect in your comment too, and that’s seniority. I was

Here’s a slightly different take: uniquely ai-generated project idea that you can do, get graded on, and use when applying to multiple companies. No issue with anonymity at that point, and it would be much less work on the programmer than m

Indeed. Last year I more than doubled my income by applying with the “click to apply” feature on indeed with a 4 sentence long cover letter. Later I had a couple short zoom culture interviews and a take-home project which I sunk 10 hours in

Solid point. With inequality like it is, we really need to use metrics like median household debt and income to make any sort of meaningful conclusions.

Yeah this is a great use case for Astro from what I’ve seen. If you need more of an app, next js would be just fine

The thing that’s great about metros is that you’re not stuck in traffic. Of course in SF it’s like a metro/tram hybrid which is okay but not great.

As someone who’s 2 days into this festival and have seen cruise and Waymo cars a lot this weekend.. I think it’s overblown. We took a regular person-driven Uber tonight from the festival and it took 30 minutes to just get out of the traffic

Same could be said about “the react guy”, which I definitely have been in the past. Of course react has buy-in 10x what flutter ever had but still.

Super sad to see. Nowhere is safe from the realities of nature. And climate change is just kicking everything up several notches faster than most places are prepared for. Are hurricanes new to Hawaii? No. But will they become more frequent?
