Yea, seems like it would center it without much fuss. That might be a bit too big for mobile browsers, so choosing that width might be a bit of an odd choice.

It’s applied problem solving. I often think of programming as invisible legos that you put together that build some sort of Rube Goldberg machine. At many times during the process the formation isn’t expressed in code yet, so it’s up to the

Pretty difficult to make film and television with the level of polish expected by Netflix Customers without being able to be in close proximity. Seems a bit like Elon promoting ideas that just so happen to align with the sequence of events

I'm going to be that commenter. Given Google's history I want to mark this date so we can start the countdown clock.

Three S-1's in one day, and the AirBNB prep last week. Is there just light shining, or are these companies worried about the future prospects of the IPO market?

Can’t say I’m surprised there wasn’t much movement on that project in a coordinated fashion it had all the makings of a project without adequate staffing to complete its vision.

MIT License, well done! It's so refreshing to see things released with no strings attached. Yes there is value being created, and the creator should be compensated. But, it's such a breathe of fresh air as a potential end user to

This is a great way of articulating this issue. A engineering group I interact with loathes to document or version their code, and they maintain this in-crowd mentality that I call Arms-Length development. It works great when everyone is in

Society as a whole had a system that largely dealt with this called public school. Most had some version of 3-5pm after school care to allow working adults to have readable inexpensive childcare. With Covid we’re going through for most sta

All the things that the article mentions are true, but the conclusion that the author comes to is not. Yes, the landlords have all the incentives in the world to try other shenanigans other than a straight rent reduction, but it feels like

Hmm... looks like the boycotts are having an impact. It's always surprising (but shouldn't be) that lip service often turns into action only and if the bottom line is impacted.

If this is true, there really isn't any true reason why a user would expect it. It's kind-of out of the blue that Microsoft and Facebook would have any connection. Microsoft's services are more or less compulsory work service

People misjudge the landlord market there are yes tons of huge corporations or “family businesses” with a portfolio where a default doesn’t really matter but the vast majority are people with 1-2 additional properties that feel like forgivi

I'd see a high probability it's for retargeting customers in ad-spend that Doordash itself uses. So what often happens is people have an interest in using Doordash, don't complete and then pay facebook to "retarget"

Good point, the data is the key. There's of course the common crawl data now, doing some sort of that plus deltas of "current" likely could be a starting point. But also turning that into usable indices that can be returned i

These types of moves really remind me of what caused Microsoft to get the ire of regulators in the 90s. Doesn't this seem pretty anti-competitive if it can be proved that the results from other companies are better, but youtube results

Couldn't agree more. I've also made this point ad-nauseam. How is this not more the typical story. The tech industry we all work in is just so good at selling snake oil in terms of technology that isn't relevant at inflated p

Surprised that no one is talking about ways to leverage the server so you’re not doing all the work on the client. You can shift layers by precomputing either raster or vector so you don’t push your poor, maybe mobile client to the max. Cla

Yea, I have a similar take on it that as this WFH drags on, I mean most companies have said until the end of the year. It's been 4 months and feels like forever, add at least another 6 months and we're going to back into the new n
