Uber Eats is a good example of a website that handles different screen sizes poorly.

App rejiggering is not an exact science, and is often poorly done. Even if apps transition well between aspect ratio / screen size breakpoints, there is a cognitive load to maintain 2+ UI configurations. Preserving aspect ratios elimin

same I just like monads lol. cat + pipe feels purer and has lower mental load for me, which dominates the efficiency of spawning an extra process for, typically, a few microseconds.

Yeah fair enough and tbh I didn't even know there was a no tropes guideline.

White is so outdated. I wish we'd stop ignoring Councilman Blatt's proposal to triple-dye the yak hair Imperial Blue, to minimize the color variation and therefore the effects of mass loss due to black body radation. We are, after

They were really going after all the legends. Google hired Guido van Rossum around the same time. I worked down the hall from Rob Pike, they had already hired Peter Weinberger (the w from `awk`), and I shared a 4-person office with Gren Ste

Wow Google Fiber what a blast from the past. I eventually went full time at Google NYC in the early 2010s - I remember the internal uproar when Reader was sunsetted =)

I don't know if he actually did. Just know that my mentor was hand-holding the hiring process which basically prided itself on false negatives and still probably does.

I don't remember the exact details after 20 yrs but I think EVERYONE got a coding loop no exceptions at the time by default. And they were still in the era where's they'd just keep interviewing you until they "got enough

I don't want to name him as he's decently well known, but I'm pretty sure my mentor monitored Vint's interview to make sure no one accidentally rejected him for a coding error or something.

I took it as a... joke... Can we post jokes?? Everyone knows Al Gore didn't sit around in an SV garage inventing the internet.

hah. I was an intern at Google in 2005 when he was hired and remember the wave of reverence that went through Mountain View. Salute to a legend! It’s like two lifetimes in tech years. I remember that summer Google Earth was launched, we wer

ok but what color is the yak hair?

all textual representations of data are "formats" and one being easier to edit is a totally valid use case. like 'x57675' instead of a full tab. or # title instead of <h1>title</h1>

I'm interested in how you can present simultaneous rich visual information about what is happening the side delegation work. i.e. how will full duplex & delegation enable/enhance desktop flows w/o corresponding leaps in U

lol markdown and html are also both ascii/unicode and by themselves disprove your point.

Hmm yeah I guess what I really want is a maekdown style mini-language that compiles to tab format.

OMG. This solves like 8 problems with me. Currently teaching my niece guitar basics and have always wanted this for my guitar videos.

yes. I know octopuses and squids have three hearts. Just looked it up and it seems no mammal has more than one heart.

No there is a wide gap between good and bad testers. Great testers are worth their weight in gold and delight in ruining programmer's days all day long. IMO not a good place to skimp and a GREAT place to spend for talent.

I worked in the IAC NYC HQ for a while (as Dir Engineering for The Daily Beast). It was really nice walking into that space. Always been influenced by architecture in my engineering career and it was really nice to have that pedigree infuse

Just an update: I finally remembered that it was the UVA research reactor (since decommissioned). https://news.virginia.edu/content/reacting-history But now 100% sure that actually happened. Also it was likely a profes

Fair enough - although this engineer didn't stand much to gain by impressing a bunch of 10 year olds.

I'm pretty sure the engineer at the nuclear plant I visited in elementary school drank a glass of water out of that pool to demonstrate how safe it was. I hope I'm misremembering that but it's a pretty strong memory that tota
