For some reason I initially read the title as "Google ICO" and damn near blew my mind.

What kind of counter point is that? If Apple has top tier talent, why do they ship an OS with a huge security vulnerability? With a map framework that has memory leaks? With a messaging app that messes up the order of messages? If Google ha

You have a valid point. Top talent existed in places like Silicon Graphics, Yahoo, etc. I guess you're right, the top probably got off the sinking ship long before the rest of the crew realized what was happening. However, I still thin

>Less top talent will want to be associated with facebook How certain is this? Whether you like what Facebook does or not, you can't deny their engineering talent is top tier. I don't even use Facebook but I'd still want t

Thanks for the videos, it's always a pleasure watching good engineers work. A lot to learn. As a side note, can you share your Terminal color scheme? It's really nice

Of course CS fundamentals are important, I would say they build a strong foundation. However, focusing on specific technologies (mobile, CV, ML, AI, etc.) yields betters results.

I agree. They just recently entered Canada (and it seems only one province), so of course they are going to have bigger revenue growth than Uber as they enter new markets. A stretch: is Lyft going to use these metrics to go public before Ub

Working hard certainly doesn't guarantee success, however it defiantly makes you luckier and exposes you to more opportunity. I like Kevin Systrom summed it up (not word for word): Everyone gets lucky at least once a week. You might fi

I've had Spotify before and switched to Apple Music because of the student pricing. When I had Spotify, I would discover new music and new artists all the time. Since getting Apple Music, I really haven't discovered anyone new. Al

I also prefer GCP over AWS. GCP has better documentation, better UI and UX, better console and just overall more friendly.

I want to believe this was something extraterrestrial so bad. The sad part is even if they find the answer, we won't ever know.

Ah man. I'm in Canada too and I wanted to incorporate for the sole reason of getting a Apple Developer account as a company instead of having my name. This would make my "startup" seem more legit. I guess even if an accountan

Okay I understand. I see from this thread and a thread from a couple of years ago that some people are using this as a background noise. I tried doing this but it's too sporadic and the talking is distracting for me to focus on program

Can someone explain to me why police scanners are so popular? I recently came across some guy ( https://www.reddit.com/user/regoapps ) who made millions off of making a police scanner app. Is the demand really that high?

This seems to only allow you to create Sublime color schemes, it doesn't create a sublime theme. Sublime Theme is to style the whole window outside of the editor.

I've been applying to Apple recently and I've submitted well over 20 applications and still no replies. Clearly, they don't think I'm a good fit for whatever they are looking for in a software engineer. I was taking a sh

Having a popular open source project is a pain in the ass. At some point the happiness from seeing people use your project turns to annoyance once you become the janitor and problem solver to people who won't take 1 minute to read the

If an Amazon recruiter emails you, just ignore them. Don't waste your time. I've had three Amazon recruiters reach out to me (I have no idea how they found my email since I never applied to Amazon), and every time I reply that I A

Probably the single greatest acquisition in history. Definitely the most profitable with an ROI >$1 trillion.

This is amazing news. As a developer the idea of writing once and running on many platforms is weight off our shoulders. However, I can also see how a lot of developers might not like this. For example, Cultured Code charges $13.99 for Thin

Basquiat, who's paintings are some of the most valuable, started off as a graffiti artist. One of my favourite artists, Kaws, started off as a graffiti artist. In fact a lot of companies liked Kaws' vandalism of their ads. One of
