I just recently switched the email associated with my Xbox account from the Hotmail I created in '98 or '99 to my current email address. That Xbox account is probably the oldest account I'm actively using since it's from

There is a setting to allow location for the "Networking and Wireless" system service. I wonder if disabling that would prevent this from working?

If you're in a city, get a dog assuming you're ok with the responsibility that comes with having one. About 5 years ago my wife finally wore me down and we got an English Bulldog. The friends that we made at the dog park have beco

> Ninety-eight percent of drivers who try Lyft’s maps stick with them — rather than switching to Google, Apple, Waze, or any other app. I find this surprising because my personal experience is the exact opposite. At least in NYC, drivers

I have ADHD, and this is how I use Slack too. Works wonders and makes it manageable. Another thing I've found useful is just leaving channels where I find little to no value. If there's something important you need to be involved

I live in Manhattan and my wife and I just had our first kid a few weeks ago. We've been talking about it for months now, but we want our kid to have that kind of independence and familiarity with the city. On one hand it's good f

At a past job for a while we did Kanban with the sprint as a time box and it worked really well for the constraints we were working in. When we had work with deadlines, we'd flag that work as needing to be done in the sprint time box a

I've been using Overcast (iOS) since it launched. Marco has done a lot of work with his Smart Speed and Voice Boost features over the years and they're a core part of what keeps me using the app.

I struggled with trigonometry in high school, to the point that I had to repeat the class twice. Each time I took the class it was the exact same lesson, and I struggled. During my senior year I was able to take a course through BOCES on au

If you don't mind using MDM you can get something akin to roaming profiles on iPads. It's an enterprise feature, but it was introduced sometime during iOS 13. I agree though, native multi-user support would be great. Though, I&#x2

Not the same thing by a long shot, but you can turn on "Hide Alerts" for group chats. My wife has all of her long running group chats set to this to prevent alerts all day when her friends are chatting.

I know it should probably be on the org itself to inform new users that those settings are being used, but I wish that Slack would do a better job of letting users know too. It's a weird experience noticing a typo in a message and not

Google interviews sound awful if I'm being honest. The last recruiter I spoke with said it involved a technical test and phone interview, after which they'd see what teams had openings and that it would be 3-4 2+ hour interviews p

Other have said it, but you should probably take some time off. And by that I mean, actually take time off without checking email or slack, or quickly helping put out a fire. I worked for a high growth start-up and I'd always end up ch

Couldn't agree with this more. At my last company there was a fair bit of time put into making the deployment process for our microservices as simple as added a new YAML file to the deployment repo. That file pulled a custom chart, and

+1 for taking small steps. As someone who's dealt with anxiety for years, it's one of the most reliable ways for me to actually make progress when I'm overwhelmed. I'll typically try making a list of the small steps I ne

While it’s frustrating to deal with situations like this, in my experience Apple doesn’t have a problem compensating customers for the trouble. I’ve gotten free iPhones, an upgrade from a 15” to a 17” laptop, and free headphones among other
