Are you able to point out which video explains how to find your current bottleneck? I suspect its something I would find quite useful! Unfortunately most of the videos have quite "clickbaity" titles, which makes it hard to figur

I went through the same path as you - I think I even landed up with 14 takeout files as well! Its a bit of a trial, but quite doable. Its likely that things have improved since I did it about 6 months ago. *Getting the files from takeout*

I think for me it's about the ongoing nature of the subscription. Everything is a subscription model these days, and I'm quite wary of "zombie" subscriptions that take money every month, but I don't actually use th

Yeah, I feel the same way about the $14 a month. Perhaps a "one shot access pass" or something that lets you in for a few months while you do financial planning may be useful. It might also be a good opportunity to check back in w

I've mentored many developers at this stage in their career - it's a challenging leap to make, because your moving from a world where improving your technical skills moves you forward to a world where you need to improve your soft

Their docs suggest you could allow the model to extract structured data by giving it the ability to call a function like `sql_query(query: string)`, which is presumably connected to your DB. This seems wildly dangerous. I wonder how hard i

On of my favorite stories of Brian Shul is “What was the slowest you ever flew the Blackbird?” If you have 5 min, it's well worth reading https://www.thesr71blackbird.com/Aircraft/Stories/sr-71-blac...

I tried with some facebook comments and articles posted to facebook in chinese and the results were pretty much incomprehensible as well. It was so bad, it makes me wonder - has google actually enabled this for all users?

Not sure why people are downvoting - they should be commenting if they disagree! A developer account + some old test devices sounds like a great birthday or christmas present!

Well, I was going to downvote, but figured it's better to comment. > Ugh. This reeks of "safe space" nonsense. What? I have very little idea what you are talking about, so I looked it up on wikipedia: "In educational

Sadly not - I've got eye problems from staring at a screen 8 hours a day. Now I have to use an app which forces me to look out the window every 10 minutes and focus on something at a different distance.

If you are looking for a job, I cannot recommend giving technical presentations at user groups highly enough... As you have pointed out the dynamic of interviews sucks. A potential employer will be seeing dozens of people for a position an

Yikes! Its embrace/extend/extinguish applied to design, and we just hit extend :-) Frankly though, I can't see any of your huge unknowns ever coming to pass. Almost all startup founders and designers I know use iPhones. Ma

I think that material is great design, but terrible strategy and in the end may land up resulting in the Android design space being worse, not better. For years google (and many members of the design community) made a very successful argume
