I like the system you have in place for it. I feel like I've been doing the same thing subconsciously without realizing how to verbalize it when others make that kind of mistake in code reviews. There's a difference between two me

Android already does something like this for location services. For example, give precise location vs approximate location. And then for other permissions, there's a popup for whether to give permissions only this time, always, or to n

The biggest mistake Redis Labs made was doing a rebrand at the exact same time as a license change. Usually you want rebrands to be loud and well known and license changes to be silent and ignored until it's too late and people have ad

The point is that once they are no longer compatible, people would standardize on the one that they're familiar with which is most likely the one that's running on their machine.

I read this as "made more money over the course of their career" which is probably true because embezzlers are rarely stealing multiples of their salary every year. That's just too brazen. And even if they manage to steal 3x

It's a novel question and impressive that Gemini was able to solve it but the tweet's author is claiming that this is because of the large context window and not because of all the Harry Potter related training data that was avail

I've often felt that reading and reviewing bad code is more cognitively challenging than writing my own code. Add onto it the unreliability of not knowing when the code will be delivered (so now there's a chance I'll be block

No matter what, as long as we continue to communicate with each other, messaging will never die. Individual messaging platforms will come and go but the idea of instant messaging has existed for about as long as the internet. $175M might be

But isn't that the whole point of UX engineering? Liked songs is also "just a playlist" but by adding a unique icon for it now you can add it with one tap, filter artists that you like the most, and when you go to an artist&#

There's only so much money you can make off of banner ads and at a certain point native advertisements are way more lucrative. I wonder how they get around disclosure requirements but I guess it's probably because the articles are

That's a fair point. With FTX you might feel some sense of responsibility because you voluntarily gave up your money (whether it was fraud by deception or not). But a mugger is infringing on your freedom to walk around at night.

Yup. I was on the laser printer is the best printer train until I actually had to buy a printer for my home (until then I was printing from the college lab or office). I quickly realized that a laser printer made no sense for the reasons yo

I was specifically responding to this point which seemed to be the thesis of the parent commenter. > I think we will see studios like ILM pivoting to AI in the near future. There's no need for 200 VFX artists when you can have 15 ar

I strongly believe that AI will have massive impact on the film industry however it won't be because of a blackbox, text to video tool like Sora. VFX artists and studios still want a high level of control over the end product and unles

Street cred is a pretty big part of why anyone does anything. Money is one way to get that but having something that no one else does is even better in my opinion. I spent a few weeks making a custom version of a board game that I really en
