There are a lot of tools like this out there: SuccessFactors, Bridge, etc. And there's always room for more, imo. What are you going to do differently? How are you going to gamify this in a way others don't? I've worked in lo

In South Asia, land is at a premium due to high population. You can buy basically any piece of land anywhere and its value rises a lot each year. My father-in-law owns swampland in South Asia which is still rising in value despite being a h

How do you guarantee next day delivery? Do you currently limit merchants to being located in certain areas or how does that work behind the scenes? Even 2 day shipping is a complicated feat to achieve requiring lots of forecasting, data, an

I don't mind ads. I mind being tracked as I browse the web and this being called "advertising". Static images as ads would work, wouldn't be blocked by ad blockers, and would be effective as ads.

It's very clearly visible on the Wine wiki that people who have ever seen Microsoft Windows source code cannot contribute to Wine due to copyright restrictions: https://wiki.winehq.org/Developer_FAQ#Who_can.27t_contribu

Obviously it's a principled stance so you have to give up some convenience. Every item on Amazon is available somewhere else. Every retail / online shopping experience can be contactless these days. You might have to wait 5 days i

There are lots of e-commerce sites though, and many of them are nicer to browse, nicer-looking, have more realistic reviews, etc. than Amazon. Amazon absolutely competes on price. I've seen it myself. If Amazon sells something for a bu

Same. I'm kind of shocked how poor basic functionalities on MacBooks are. You need a third party app to tile your windows. If you run in "clamshell" mode, connected to a monitor with the lid down you need to do all sorts of h

What corporation wants to do all the paperwork to spend all the money to establish all the shells to reside in a country where they technically legally owe the same tax but the government is just lax in collecting it? The government can cha

There are lots of companies that sign with enterprises to provide a language learning perk to employees. But you're right, I can't imagine them leveraging that to some kind of billion dollar valuation and success on the NYSE

I guess the difference is that you can put in a weekend of effort on an Arch Linux installation and get a machine tailored to your workflow, few bugs, fast boot times, easy to maintain for the future, etc. But no matter how much work you pu

Sounds like using CodePilot can introduct GPLd code into your project and make your project bound by GPL as a result... 0.1% is a lot when you use 100 suggestions a day.

Telling the computer what you want IS programming... When a new language / framework / library comes around, GitHub copilot won't have any suggestions for when you write in it.

>Adults should be allowed to have any mind state they want, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. I mean, exactly the issue here is that if you allow all adults to take as much meth as they want, they will start hurting someone el

I can't tell if this is a joke or not but the example of moving gold between non-friendly countries (do you mean smuggling?) is probably the least algorithmic thing out there... It's something where you absolutely will fail if you

I thought it's one dev who died? Is the whole team gone as well?

Well, you can only have that experience because someone else is having an unfair, exploitative experience at the same store...

Idk this doesn't sound true about any of the Bengalis I have met. They all seem to care a lot about Rohingya (since it is especially close to them and they see the suffering), the Uighurs, Yemen, etc. Israel's oppression of the Pa

I don't agree at all, and I don't think others agree either. Hamas is the government of the area in question. Why are they not allowed to fire into Israel but Israel is allowed to do all manner of crimes in Hamas' territory?

YouTube cares about human rights because they'll deny genocide but at least for pride week they animated a gay pride parade on the YouTube logo in the app. Isn't that true human rights work after all?

Most tvs have multiple HDMI inputs, why not have your Windows PC for gaming and a Linux PC with Kodi or whatever you like. I personally just run mpv on my Linux box plugged into my TV and connected to a DLNA media server in my home and use

It just isn't true that other brands are lagging way behind Tesla in tech / infra / market share for electric vehicles. The difference in the past 3-4 years has been huge and traditional car companies have really closed the g

It's really hard to outsource middle management and executive roles, which are the next step for most dev roles. So the outsourcing effect has lots of limitations. I welcome outsourcing though. I do quality work and know what it's

First part wrong. Doesn't make any sense to try to improve an office to attract devs when so many devs are leaving the office. Office space improvements would be expensive right now due to various factors: labor shortage, materials inf

I mean, no amount of reading science journals convinced us to leave Iraq and Afghanistan until after we sunk multiple trillions of dollars into it and all we got out was an anti-American, pro-Iranian government in Iraq and the Taliban de fa

I built an Expo app on top of Hasura and rolled my own passwordless authentication mechanism and it was far far easier than using Auth0, imo. Auth was done using serverless functions to send emails with one-time-use tokens, to match the rec

Whatever it's called doesn't matter. There's not a viable alternative. If you don't prosecute charges with substantial evidence, the risk of loss increases and eventually the department bleeds money at too large a degree
