Personally I think quitting something that is amazing in so many ways but doesn't fulfil your front end needs after only 5m is something you may come to regret. Did you ask for a change of team / change of work focus? Did you brin

VR is never going to gain the traction FB is betting on. Absolutely no one wants to spend their day inside a headset cut off from the outside world. It's uncomfortable, antisocial, expensive (for now), and just clunky overall. If anyth

I imagine poor people wore rags, discarded material crudely sewn together.

I am honestly confused by this comment. I am struggling to understand how anyone could miss the point of sailing around the world for no other reason than the experience. The journey is the destination is an idiom for a reason.

I'd happily pay 10c a year for extended support on my phone that I don't want to replace.

Do you think that Beethoven would feel the same way about rock and roll, or 1900s folk feel the same way about vinyl killing sheet music and so on through the history of music.

Here is the thing, if COVID is like the flu even with heavy measures to prevent the spread, what would it be like it we just didn't bother with restrictions? Seasonal influenza is not as lethal as COVID and hospitals stress to accommod

Can't wait for my next code pair interview. Company: write an efficient sorting algorithm for this large data set Me: sure! Types "# sort large data method..." Me: Done! I think.

Point #2; Your only source is a screen shot and exclusively focusing on the NHS, which is notoriously underfunded anyway. COVID certainly isn't helping the NHS which as you have observed struggles in regular flu seasons. Point #1 gover

We have grown to depend on automobiles for modern life and the economy to function. People can function with kids in masks and home learning, just about. Their quality of life compared to my childhood/teen years is trash though. Additi

I think for him pausing and perhaps just having a career is the best of a bad situation. His education doesn't work for him as is.

In addition there is COVID which means a lot of online learning and none of the college social experience. I know of a coop on my team is considering pausing finishing his degree because he hates online learning and does not feel like he&#x

Plus, as I found out, a $20k pay raise can equate to ~$8k extra in your pocket per year as the upper band tax rate is brutal here.

Wider shots would require so much more CGI work. Many movies these days are simply a formula that as a middle aged person I've seen so many times I just can't watch action or superhero movies, I have zero interest. I am not the ta

Did this in a startup, turned out to be the CEO's code and he was not happy. Not everyone understands the traditions.

Makes me realize how much I hate Jira. GitHub now covers a lot of Jira's functionality, Confluence to an extent also.

This article is utter BS. Just read her other posts and you'll see she's been raking it in over COVID, her business is doing better than ever and she opened a Vegas restaurant. I think she's looking for publicity more than an

I'd say the major advantage was you had an IDE that had a canvas to draw on, a visual timeline to aide your animation, tweening, powerful scripting - much like Swift, and compilation (ship a self contained SWF binary). For me the canva

I think it's possible to respect the software their developers create and dislike the business goals and cynical approach to making money. Facebook has made some wonderful software, and it has fundamentally degraded humanity.

If, say toilet roll, is smaller quantities wouldn't you end up buying more of it which will also reflect in your monthly budget?

$144/year sounds about right to me. A little higher than SquareSpace and being the new cat in town I'd suggest undercutting them to get traction, but overall I don't think it's far out.

Any headline I see with a question in that manner I don't click on. I know they will conclude with either "we don't know" or "no". It's just not worth reading unless you are interested in two sides of an a

I don't think YT or Reddit are any where near as insidious as FB, Twitter, and TikTok. YouTube's feed basically shows me what I am subscribed to which is interesting shit I am legit interested in. I don't see any of my friend

That's what spell checkers are for. There is a point at which poor spelling will begin to undermine the legitimacy of your thoughts as the reader becomes dubious as to the care you put into writing it. I do not think this is necessaril

My point is, the service simply hosts HTML, ostensibly this is the same as any consumer web host. So whatever attack vector you can think of exists on Dreamhost or Godaddy pages, for instance.

Really? I don't know many authors who are motivated to write interesting content and then hide it / have zero idea if anyone is reading it.

I don't actually see a problem. It goes against my gut reaction but given the pages that are published are entirely isolated there is no more of a threat than someone publishing whatever they want on another web host. There is no user

But a service cart and flight attendant seems like an entirely ineffective obstacle so what's the point? I think I don't know enough about how this "dance" works to comment, so maybe I'll just shut up :)
