Not the author, but I'm a VP of Eng, and one of my sub-orgs is QA. Here's my take... Aside from writing end-to-end test automation, the best SDETs add value in many other ways. They triage bugs, use their deep product understandin

I think it’s a good takeaway for something that’s sold once on an app store. If it’s junk, the rankings will tank it, and it may never recover from that. There are a few instances of games that have turned things around after the initial la

I’ll venture a guess and assume it’s because they can also charge via USB C, or maybe the EU law only applies to phones and tablets.

Well done. Seems like a good prototype to show someone who is unfamiliar with how a postmortem should be written up.

I recently learned about The Villages, FL, which is a sprawling retirement community, and was the fastest growing metro area in the US over the past decade [0]. This feels like the perfect bike for an aging demographic living in that sort o

It’s much more egregious with ABNB. A hotel might charge you some small local taxes and fees, but with ABNB you get those plus a whopper of a “cleaning fee”, which can be hundreds of dollars, even for short stays.

Except the battery on a quartz watch lasts years, and the battery on an Apple Watch lasts 12-18 hours. Never mind that most mechanical watches are self-winding.

It should be fantastic for towing heavy stuff relatively short distances (less than 150 miles). Electric motors make 100% of their torque from 0 RPM. This is why freight trains are powered by electric motors, with diesel engines merely gene

> dated infotainment FWIW I find Tesla’s all-touch infotainment and climate control awful to use. I think there are many like me, who prefer dedicated buttons and knobs for common functions.

Barry Lyndon was shot with an f/0.7 lens because Kubrick wanted period-correct lighting: candlelight, which required a super fast lens with the film used. To my knowledge he wasn’t going for shallow DoF.

For this crowd, maybe. What about the majority of the world? They’re SOL, which seems unacceptable.

I'm not following this one. Wouldn't something that's high reward and low risk also be low stress? I'm trying to envision something that's high reward and high risk, and isn't stressful.
