I was being interviewed by two owners of a small engineer firm. They asked, "tell us where you see yourself in 5 years". I rambled for ~30 seconds about marrying my girlfriend and other personal details. I still remember their fac

I went to school with a guy that dropped a $100k-200k VNA at Apple during an internship. He didn't get a full-time offer despite their investment :P

I was looking at running [versitygw]( https://github.com/versity/versitygw ) but filestash looks pretty sweet! Any chance you're familiar with Versity and how the S3 proxy may differ?

Is Govee the down-cone style? Or are there also others doing that? There's been a couple of houses that have this and I wasn't sure what they are using, but it's the only one that I would consider doing whole house exterior.

Seems fairly simple to have a smart contract do a DNS validation to unlock funds. For example, someone sends to a contract "$1 to example.com". Then the URL owner publishes either a TXT file or DNS record that has a list of crypto

There are options, however just saying anything is going to get you labeled as a shill heh. You're right that any new crypto is indistinguishable, but that is part of the risk in trying to outlast the rest. Some crypto that have surviv

Would you consider this a competitive replacement of Busybox? Curious if you've compared, since they also take liberty in cutting out uncommon functionality.

I've never paid a real estate lawyer anywhere near what an agent demands for a fee.

IMO that's not evidence of anything other than a bug with package manifests and the current Playstore version. I have to side load apps all the time on my kids tablets because of API incompatibilities that don't ultimately matter,

What exactly did they do here? X linked video is broken for me, and the article just says the performance is bad. My pixel 6 just got Android 14. Possibly just OS/new hardware related?

A lot of my team switched product areas when they needed to spice things up. They had a wide range of years on my team, from 2 to 10 years, and AFAIK there was no stigma attached to it. Have you considered that? If you are an IC, they might

A resume is for kicking off talking points with the potential employer. Employment gaps can be misconstrued and not easily explainable on a resume. LLC adds some plausible deniability in any way you want it to, protecting your work history,

Just happened to my in-law. She dropped her phone on the stairs, screen cracked, and became unresponsive. I gave her an older phone I had and swapped the sim fine. But she couldn't figure out how to log in to Google account because it

It also materially changed the experience of Google's products for the worse. I am curious how that might have impacted their bottom line (as small as home devices are to their business).

There is skill to coin flipping. You'd need to blind the flipper, either physically blindfold or make it so they don't know which result is the positive outcome ahead of time.

I've always caught the coin and flipped it onto the back of my hand to display the result. So I guess I have an opposite-side bias.

File for an LLC (or whatever legal entity is available to you locally), take your break, and when you're ready to come back put whatever you want under it for what you are interested in doing after the sabbatical.

Seems like DMA is going to be doing good things for persons in the EU Maybe others that are better informed are more pessimistic? What are the penalties for non-compliance?

I believe there were 2 settled lawsuits with Google that they have multiple locations tracking settings for different products, and turning one off did not turn the others off. So I think you can turn all tracking off, but it was not clear

I'm sure home insurance prices are going to follow shortly after. You know, because that's why they needed to raise prices. Yep, any day now.

I'll be honest and say your interpretation is probably right, and that's how the NY times reporter interpreted it. However, my strong anti-MS + all conglomerates (i.e., bias that would probably would have disqualified me from bein

Maybe I miss-interpreted the quote at the end of the article. > At the end of Mr. Nadella’s appearance, a Justice Department lawyer asked why he thought Google paid Apple so much money to be the default search engine on Apple’s web brows

Because Microsoft is in the game of being a big business, and demonstrably is not in the group that needs a fair market to thrive. MS is/was willing to make the same deals as Google for defaults, it's just Google valued it more. T

No I am not confused about getting testimony from competitors. I am very interested in hearing from companies that probably have legitimate grievances: DDG, Kagi, Brave, etc. MS is not among those companies.

Got any reports/statistics to back this up? I highly doubt websites are not wanting major search engines to index them. AFAIK it's been standard practice to use `User-agent: *` for a long time. There are other anti-crawling measur

I am with you on this one. What the hell is this? Why is DOJ peddling for other trillion dollar companies? Microsft CEO is concerned for _Google's shareholders_? Are you serious? I don't believe a word of this guy. I'll just

The only reason I went to a soccer game recently was because of an advertisement. I don't understand the bubble some folks craft for themselves, and then expect everyone's world view to conform.

Defaults can be powerful, but we have the numbers. Edge is the default Windows desktop browser and has 8-10% of the market. Apparently defaults are not more powerful than shipping a shitty product.
