This application looks really well designed and would be very useful for an project I am working on The price is reasonable, but I am concerned about the number of reviewers who claim that the color picker isn't accurate. Was there a b

Anecdotal reports from my friends reported the same. I had Moderna and the second dose wiped for out for about three days. I don't know anyone who got the J&J vaccine. Have you heard any reports about any single dose vaccines?

Thanks. I parsed that sentence incorrectly and have updated my comment.

It is a data point; the article goes on to say that it is too early to know if the difference in antibody levels is medically important. Both vaccines make high levels of antibodies, and even low levels of antibodies can be effective.

I might, but are they some other details to this loan? Would there be management or directorial involvement? I am not opposed to receiving input from investors, but am curious about the fine print of a loan like this.

This advice is sound and mirrors advice given by other successful applicants to these high stress interview loops. I have worked at a few of the "FAANG" companies and have noticed a trend with potential hires who are entertaining

I totally agree with you. The first wave of USDS hires were highly motivated to refactor/repair/replace the ACA infrastructure. Most came from much higher paying jobs in Silicon Valley. I doubt the same levels of motivation and ex

I also have concerns about the quality of the mentorship based on my earlier experiences. There are high quality mentors to be found, but I agree with you that the ratios are way off compared to the private sector.

The initial hires at the US Digital Service all came in at GS-15, level 10. At least, that is what I was offered. It was the only way they could be remotely competitive. I notice that this new program is using only new grads and boot camp g

This seems like a good idea, but an initial cohort of only thirty? I suppose some is better than none, but that is much smaller number than I would expect.

I think we need a lookup table of marketing speech to real-world performance metrics. Blazingly fast has been showing up a lot lately. The cynical side of me wants to know what features and safety checks a "blazingly fast" tool ha

Yeah, sometimes that will happen in countries where people have strong English language skills. I'll respect their wish to speak in the language they want to communicate in.

Your app looks interesting. I'll check it out! I learned conversational French, German, Russian and Spanish as an adult. The method that worked best for me is similar to what you mentioned. I watched as many shows as I could in the var

This was a great article and makes me want to dig in to some of my own ancient software. Could these tools and techniques be used on older PowerPC Mac executables? I have some old software that was protected by ADB dongles. I own the softwa

I hear you. I wish there were more places to dig through sketchy crates! All of my favorite used record stores have vanished and the joy of finding a rare item in a crate is harder and harder to find. I'll keep digging!

You make a good point. If you come into an appreciation of certain genres of film or music, and the items you want are out of print, your options are to find the content on the secondary market or acquire pirated copies. I am always more th

Was it because National Mutual supplied a computer for your father to work on at home or did they have a relationship with a manufacturer?

Our school had them too, but no one had one at home. We had Apple IIs, Vic-20s, TI-99/4As, etc. Was Tandy just really good at selling into the education channel?

Could you share more about Glow? I am also curious as to why Facebook would make this technology open source. I am happy to be able to benefit from the open source work large corporations do, but am not always clear why they do it.

Apple will make exceptions for education apps that can execute code, but I think your observation is good about iPads/tablets in general. They are not great devices for keyboard-driven programming apps, unless you have a keyboard attac

That is a good observation. I am the primary care-giver for a sick spouse, so I have also seen the luxury of time spent on programming diminish. I am glad you pointed this out. Now that I am older, and perhaps wiser, I can look back at some

You have learned a good skill, which is knowing how and when to stop. That is something I have a very, very hard time with.

Fowler states: I’ve long known that when you’re doing very creative work, such as writing or programming, the useful hours you can do in a day is rather less than the accepted industrial eight. I don't want to disagree with him as th

As an outsider, I have always respected the Japanese tradition of leaders accepting blame and making apologies. It seems that this would short-circuit the outrage driven media cycles that thrive in America. Is this the case in Japan? Do the

I realize that the American justice system is adversarial. Whether or not you should take responsibility for your misdeeds is a philosophical question that doesn't mesh well with that system. If you are driving drunk and receive a cita

The Monino Airfield [1], north of Moscow, has a Tu-144 [2] on display. You can walk right up to it, but can't physically get in it. Monino is one of the more amazing aviation museums I have seen. There are some extremely rare aircraft
