I have an LLC on Brex, but haven't gotten an email yet. I'm not sure if that means if I'm in the clear or if the email just hasn't rolled out yet. Would be great if you could send an email to _all_ customers, including t

The original complaint was mostly around layout patterns. I'm not super familiar with XAML, but "offloading that all into writing custom C# code to lay things out at pixel locations" certainly doesn't sound like a great

I enjoyed the post and appreciate that more people are looking for privacy focused alternatives to traditional vendors. Though I'm disappointed hear that one of the conclusions seems to be there's no privacy-focused chat vendor th

This is maddening... Why does Google, with all the resources at its disposal, choose to cheap out like this when competitors in the video chat space (from tiny startups to gigantic corporation of similar size) have offered near native resol

Would be great if you could make your pricing public. Call-me pricing immediately disqualifies a vendor from consideration for me, and I suspect I'm not alone.

I think one difference is the existing giants have smarted up to the fact that new competing startups can be existential threats to their business like they were to their former incumbents, and have started putting much more focus on gobbli

Am I the only one who clicked on this thinking it's a compilation of Rich Hickey's comments in Clojure source code?

Exactly, it's clearly not a lack of resources, but explicitly not prioritizating candidate experience for candidates you're not actively pursuing. Which, by the way I think is a totally valid decision to make, but let's not k

To set expectations, it's been more than 10 years since I started learning, so I don't want to make it sound like it was an easy/short process for me either. But regardless, here's a few notes from my experience that mig

It feels like a specialized voice control interface with a limited set pre-programmed functionality accessible through specific hard-coded keywords (which is what I assume Teslas could be equipped with for this purpose) might have a much ea

Fair enough, I guess both Chrome and Safari were holding us back until a few months ago haha. Really ecstatic to see that it's going to be in Safari soon though! Thank you so much for sharing! Really made my day. This is why I love Hac

I'm not familiar with Teslas at all, but it sounds like a voice interface might help work around some of these limitations, a la Alexa/Hey Google. Maybe they already have it?

Widespread flex gap support will probably eliminate 95% of grid usage in my apps today: https://caniuse.com/flexbox-gap And what a surprise, it's just Safari holding us back again. =_=

As much as I appreciate Mullvad's stance around privacy, I don't actually use a VPN for privacy (I use Tor for that), but mostly for bypassing geo-restrictions on my entertainment devices for games and streaming services and whatn

I love everything about Mullvad except their device limit, which is unfortunately a deal breaker for me. 5 is completely inadequate for my use cases.

I honestly don't understand this either... Youtube knows exactly which videos I've watched and which I haven't. Why does it think it's a good idea to ever recommend videos that I've already watched?

It's a tragedy of the commons situation. Microsoft might be _able_ to provided effectively limitless funding to power these free workers, but if enough people choose to abuse this, Microsoft might no longer be _willing_ to provide that

In practice the biggest issue I've found with git+pinned hashes as dependencies is most public sources of remote git repositories allows the repository to be taken down by the author at any time, i.e. an author can turn a public github

I wonder why Fortnite doesn't also make a WebAssembly version of Fortnight and deploy it on fortnite.com? Then Apple would get jack shit from any sales there, so they can fight this battle with them while still offering access to the g

The thing is, an open ecosystem that allows users to run any software they want on their devices already exists, including on Apple devices, in the form of the Web. And despite all of its flaws it's the most successful software deploym

This has been attempted before. Wind Mobile (now Freedom Mobile) was an upstart carrier that attempted to compete. They ended up just getting acquired though. Their Wikipedia article paints a pretty bleak and accurate picture of the "c

That's only the difference between a monopoly vs duopoly though, and as far as the app developer is concerned I'm not sure it makes much of a difference. Reality is anyone releasing a for-profit app aiming for mass appeal can&#x27

Since so many of the screenshots show them running a separate Android app on each screen, I wonder if the apps themselves actually run simultaneously. Or if it's like Android apps on my Chromebook where only a single active app actuall

There's no way to predict in advance who's going to become a government official. When they do, and if they used WeChat before then, the damage is done. Material on those close to the officials can also be used against them in sim

Private chats can contain sensitive material that could be used to extort/blackmail government officials and/or business leaders, and in-app payments can be used for tax evasion, money laundering and bypassing sanctions. That in c

My hunch is that you're probably correct about the heat effects of wireless charging on battery lifespan to some degree, but I'd love to see more emperical studies on the topic. Especially comparing it to usage of wired quick char

Ah yep, the good old Nexus 4, that's how I was introduced to wireless charging as well.

I'm not a huge Apple fanboy by any measure, but one thing I do appreciate is that they consider wireless charging to be a table stakes feature, and include it even in their "budget" phones. They clearly understand how dramati
