Silly curiosity - what's that "BEAM-appreciator" in that bio? I could only think of a protein brand name (that too not from my geography) shortened as BEAM :/ Anyway I loved that he has reposted a post from musicbraniz

Do these tech overlords find it really hard to resist the “pitching in” part even after they’ve already deployed millions and billions in PR? Maybe just the itching thumb? Yeah, maybe. > AI driving faster scientific progress and increase

Huh, this reminds me of the Photos app. Apple completely broke iOS Photos in the last update. I really hope apps like Ente can step up and get better and native, offer desktop backup + sync both as well. But then there's always the cha

I have been unemployed for almost a year now (it started with a full division layoff and then no willingness or motivation to look for work at the time). Seeing the way AI can do most of the native app development (which is what I did) code

Yup, doing that. Accepted another interview (second) - it's a take home assignment first - "minor" angel round startup. The project is, not 98% or 99.7%, but 100% the exact product they are pitching which is shady. I am still

Haha. I hope not an arsehole. What did you change to if I may ask? Did you change while you were still at a company, or took the new job/role in the new tech/domain as the first job after the gap? I recently cleared an interview a

Thank you. That indeed sounds like an idea. I am going to work on it. I am also planning to actively try to work on some well-used open source app where there is need for contributors.

Do not use a provider that doesn’t let you configure your own domain. Never use that one email address @<provider domain> unless they also let you keep it or free (like e.g. Tutanota, Proton do). Just don’t. Imagine it doesn’t exist.

- On one hand - excellent development. This will also push others. - On the other hand - excellent way to deprive many not-so-old Apple devices from such a critical feature by interlocking it with latest OS versions. - And yeah, Apple, abou
