Crow are the full embodiment of "evil genius".

I did about 10 surf road trips last summer in a concerted effort to really "get" it. To provide some context - and at the risk of sounding like a jackass - I typically take to a new physical activity pretty quickly. Surfing? Nope.

Not. Even. I felt forced to upgrade my 6 because it was unbearably slow. The battery? Excellent. In fact, at the time of trade-in, it was lasting longer than my iPhone X does brand new. More proof - the 6 was actually almost brand new itsel

Hi DenisM, what's your contact info? Are you hiring a lead role? The industry is very intriguing and would love to learn more.

It's "super simple". There's one pricing policy and it's hardcoded. As layers of abstraction are added in support of richer features, so too is complexity and hence "not-so super simple".

Absolutely. I was investigating this last week. Most articles have suffered bit rot where nearly all linked sites that once allowed non-verified accounts now require verification.

The client can hold onto the token indefinitely, the server doesn't care. But next time a request comes in with that token it will be expired. The server validates the timestamp which is part of the encrypted payload that only the serv

Web tokens, for example, don't necessarily include just a session ID. Some include the full session details within its payload. This can be quite useful, actually, because it offloads session-lookup onto the client.

"Space race is warming up" - You verbalized perfectly what I've been feeling lately. So exciting!

Are we supposed to congratulate WhatsApp for doing something that should be expected with 1.0? Furthermore, your default is incorrect; sharing info is opt-in.

This is the same spin that Über employs themselves. It's clear the ultimate goal is to remove human drivers completely. Their rhetoric otherwise is so transparent it's insulting.

At the risk of sounding flippant ... shouldn't you be dogfooding to find your engineers?

I just moved myself, wife, and toddler out of Cole Valley to Seattle. We had to leave because - you guessed it - cost of living. My position is head of engineering for a small SaaS company. I make a _very_ healthy living by any standard yet

Wow wow wow indeed! This is a gem of a way to experience a most heralding moment of "mankind".

Late to the party but ... Google Maps. So buttery, extremely reliable, and so many form factors where the experience is the same: superb. I'm afraid it has become such a daily utility that perhaps people don't appreciate just how

There must be 1000s of places along train tracks in the US alone where a strategically-placed derailing device[1] could wreak the same, if not more, terror. I'm unconvinced planes pose a greater risk to life loss and that is the poin

My point was we shouldn't have to wait for security checks at all. There are many other high-human density targets for terrorism (buses, trains, buildings, etc.) none of which require security checks. Why are airports / flying any

And yet this is still abysmal. Talk to me when my plane onboarding experience is exactly that of a train. A recent study showed something like 90% of threats are missed. So remove what we have installed now, switch to passive-only methods,

Yeah, I didn't agree with the name criticism either. For the small sample of us techies, sure, it has some negative associations (but even still not significantly so). For most, however, it's positive: Boom , drops the mic; Sonic

@garrett I beg to differ. At first I thought it was a terrific service. After using it twice, their true business was revealed. They leave advertisement cards on vehicles with tickets and indeed is how I learned of the service. The card sta

Oh, God, thank you! I've been hunting and hunting for something to replace CruiseControl. I had no idea this existed. Is there an easy way to turn this into a CI?

Circling back to this for future researchers - I was again not contacted after the exchange with MrGando here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I was enthusiastically recruited by Vungle. I had a friendly, upbeat thread, back & forth with their HR which ultimately culminated in a technical phone screen. Twice I was promised a follow-up from the person in HR with whom I was prim

The thing is Uber drivers are independent contractors. The ability to work whenever the hell you want or to drop into any city and make money, at will, are fundamental motivators to driving for Uber. Regular benefits means minimum regular
