Most of these things just use it for API access, from what I’ve gathered. Haven’t looked into this one specifically.

Chiming in as a Midwest engineering manager here (Michigan). There's no lack of talent in the Midwest, although it's certainly a different calculus to try and match hiring to the supply/demand of engineers here and not everyo

Is this what they did with the PullPanda acquisition? We had started using that a bit, but not being able to add new users as of late and the general pause in feature development seemed like something else was up.

There’s a bit of a rat race in colleges posturing to get ahead of each other always, and that takes capital investment and the recourse to raise funds ends up being tuition. These things and reputations take years and tons of willpower and

Even as someone working on a really big global app with hundreds of engineers, people also underestimate that although the core of something might not be all that complex, all the auxiliary parts and necessary edge cases add tons of complex

Would be pretty hard to scan for, but I agree that there should be something at least outlined. Privacy policies clearly are aren’t useful enough.

For 5, usually a pitcher and catcher will through multiple signs with a runner on second to scramble the signal, and usually you don’t get enough pitches in to determine which sign is real. With the aid of a camera, the Astros were getting

It doesn't show any text, it's only Siri doing interactions but it's a quick UX to scroll through and see names and unread.

We at least use one internally at my big corp. It's nice because instead of routing to some non-vanity URL that looks more like a raw Azure host, we can register x.company.com/whatever to redirect to it. Can only access the links

I’m still struggling to find out what exactly is required for mobile apps in particular. Our legal team (very big company) told us we have to add a link to our Privacy Policy on every screen of our app, so hundreds. Where can I find things

Wrote for the Daily in college from 2012-2016. Was a really cool experience, and something that’s stuck with me a long time.

Similar experience here. On really big teams sure, you can bike shed the format a ton, but they’re all relatively close enough but CC has some good tooling so we just ran with it. Results have been fine, didn’t waste a bunch of time debatin

Weirdly, I scored completely average on the math for the GMAT despite an engineering and math degree and pretty much aced the verbal without any studying (figured out early on I needed to focus on studying quant, which I hated the test). Bu

As a UofM grad and still an Ann Arbor resident, Ann Arbor has significant housing supply issues and a city council elected to effectively keep it that way. That said, there’s definitely more the university and others could do despite the op

I feel this perspective gets lost a bit. Big companies don't roll through 1000 applications with 50 open spots and try to hire the best 50 candidates. They want to find maybe people in the top quartile of that, while spending the minim

This was in Chennai mostly, so little different language situation. I don’t mean to come off too harsh on it, as having Uber in India was extremely useful for me getting around. Some of the rides were around 1-2 USD so wasn’t worth the hass

I had a roughly 5.0 rating over a hundred or so rides in the Midwest US, but mine dropped to around 4 after taking 30-40 Ubers in India. It was a different experience there, and I always wondered if rating scales are different culturally (a

I think the perspective of this is assuming that the technical skill is there. You're totally right that the difference between a prime Tiger Woods and the field is definitely talent related. But when there's a lot bigger populati

We moved a very large iOS app over to Swift, and the first two benefits are really huge. I know people have opinions on these things, and both sides are right, but the really strong typing and enforced nullability have been hugely important

There are some rules around this, as noted in https://nomothetis.svbtle.com/the-ghost-of-swift-bugs-future : IF the inferred type of a variable is the protocol: AND the method is defined in the original protocol

by mgoblu3 8y ago
Default implementations on protocols in Swift definitely can be a little dangerous. We've shied our team away from doing this unless the protocol is explicitly used as a mix-in type. There's been some proposals around fixing these

I was pretty shocked at how much they had set up for it there. There's a big public event this weekend too, definitely a great local PR moment for the company.
