I just cancelled my Duo subscription yesterday. It doesn't make sense to pay for a terrible UX, lacking basic features that even free software has. I feel the apps haven't moved past MVP and they resolutely refuse to improve. I ha

Do you have any tips or guides for creating good training programs? I find it challenging to think from a newcomer point of view and I significantly underestimate their challenges. Consequently I feel the learning curve I set for the team i

Is there a good summary of how AlphaFold has made a difference in the few years since it has been released. I was quite excited to hear their success in 2020, so I am curious to see where have we got to in 2 years and what is in the horizon

I came across an interesting take on this in the book Algorithms to live by [1]. They argue that old age is a time of exploitation (as in explore/exploit strategy) where we tend to prioritize relations/experiences that we know to

It will be interesting to observe what this means for growth of cities. In the last 100 years, city sizes increased while staying within Marchetti's travel time budget [1] (1 hour for round trip) thanks to higher speeds available throu

How about building design? I know in colder climates buildings are designed to retain heat. Are buildings in warmer climates designed with similar heat insulation in mind? I think traditional architectures are designed for convective coolin

Teams is terrible to use for occasional use with personal login. I always had issues using it until I figured out that I need to empty the app cache before joining a meeting. Whenever I see a Teams link in an invite, I join 5 minutes ahead

In some ways, error messages are like crutches for the users. Some of the badly written error messages makes sense to the author of the code but not to the user of the code. For instance, this helpful reply on SO actually made me chuckle wh

All I can say is it is incredibly useful, not just O’Reilly but they have got collections from a lot of other publishers. It is really useful as a reference or when you want to deep dive into something new. To top it, if you get to complete

Does it take a certain non-technical aptitude to market oneself better? I think those who fear interviews may find this challenging as well.

The fact that a SWE with decades of experience needs "practice" to pass leetcode indicates two things: 1. Leetcode challenges aren't representative of the actual work. Or else years of shipping working software should be as g

Exactly, I have been in such high pressure situations several times with directors and CIOs breathing down my neck, but surprisingly I am quite composed in such scenarios. Severity of the problem at hand is in fact liberating as it is easie

I expected to see a bunch of failed predictions but most of the stuff is surprisingly accurate. I see some commenters remark that these were conservative predictions and that most of the technologies existed in some form in 1922. But that s

I felt the same when I failed a leetcode interview. The reason behind my annoyance was that I had spent considerable amount of time over the past few years improving my skills in the areas I thought mattered (practicing TDD, design patterns

I may be wrong but I am curious to know whether there is any correlation between spicy cuisine and a hot climate? There are some counter-examples ( e.g., certain northern Chinese cuisines are spicier than Cantonese) but typically spicier cu

That addresses only the part of setting up PATH variable. Some init scripts go beyond that and have additional code embedded in them (see sdkman, pyenv). These needs separate init scripts for fish users. Just a cursory look at github issues

I am a fish shell user, but for me the biggest drawback is that a lot of tools rely on updating bashrc as part of installation and some of them don't have an equivalent `config.fish`.

I have the opposite problem. I always struggle with frequent interrupts wondering "what if I am wrong?" and I fail to move forward without utmost conviction. Nowadays I try to tell myself that no one is perfect, especially me. Exp

For people planning to learn PyTorch or even NN as a whole, it would also help to order or group the implementations in terms of complexity.

I am curious, what was the fix for parent's profile being spammed with kids songs? I hate to pay for a family plan just to maintain individual profiles when I never plan to listen on more than one device concurrently.

Github1s was one of the most polished projects I came across in HN. When I saw this announcement I first thought of Github1s and searched for any credits.

which modifier would that be, Alt/Ctrl or Cmd? Also there is a chance that this combo will not work on some platforms, some may already be in use as a hotkey.
