I would love to use this for E2E testing. It would be great to make all my assertions with high level descriptions so tests are resilient to UI changes. Seems similar to the Amazon Nova Act API which is still in research preview.

Sounds like a problem AI could solve filtering patent applications before they make it to a person.

This coin is issued by Paxos. Paxos, by the way, hands down has the worst interview process of any company I've spoken to in my 30 years of working in engineering. So while I am rooting for regulated stable-coins as a technology, I hav

FYI you have an onboarding bug. If you don't complete the Github onboarding after creating an account there's no way to recover.

A process of generating beautiful images that are a collaboration between a designer/artist and assisted by Dall-E AI in the style of Annie Leibovitz.

This was the beginning of an avalanche that led to most of the remaining engineers at Atari to leave and try to start their own third-party game companies to follow in the success of Activision.

Atari in 1983 went from the leader in video game production to completely imploding. In 1979, four of their best programmers left after demanding equity in the sales and were refused. Their CEO Ray Kassar famously said, "You’re no more

The reason Apple doesn't do this is they want to make the AppStore a safe-place and a worry free experience. If anyone can run whatever they wanted for whatever length of time they want, then it opens the door for malicious apps to exi

I'm going to answer but I should preface by saying I'm not going to try to proselytize you to Swift. If it doesn't work for you and you're happy with Objective-C, then by all means do what makes you happy and keeps you p

I hear this argument a lot that it's not production ready but my personal experience does not agree. I use Swift in production for several apps with relatively large codebases that sustain many hundreds of thousands of sessions per day

I appreciate the straightforward and simple website that gets right to the point.

Similarly, the number of git-commits is also a poor judge of how much work was done. When CI builds automatically build release notes based off of the git-log since the last successful build, this can be deceiving.

Are the founders legally obligated to return the $6MM they took off the table or is it a moral obligation? (Or is there no obligation whatsoever) And if it is a moral obligation, what would incentivize them to do so - is it to save their

I've used voice authentication with Nuance's SDK before and having a cold or gaining weight does not affect the verification process. It is based on acoustioc signatures in your voice and not necessarily a precise recreation of t

Are engineers constantly afraid of losing their jobs? How does this affect their willingness to accept risk?

We once had a game demo that was crashing every time we tried to exit the game. Inserted an exit(0); in the shutdown code and it never crashed again.

C syntax really isn't that hard to understand, it has persisted for a reason, and I am quite happy when I get to write C. It's not the ideal language for web-programming but it is certainly the right language for a lot of things.

It is worth noting that Xsser only affected jail-broken phones so the point of the article, that Apple's "closed-ness" was to fault here, is a factual error. In fact, it is that very closed-ness that prevents these types of

I was experiencing the GPU panics as well and it turned out to be a hardware issue. Did it only happen when you were using the NVidia GPU and not when using the on-board?

You left out Squarespace - whose site editor is amazing. Was this on purpose or just an accidental ommission?

It's a timing trick to get past it! This scene mirror reverses so you may need to invert left/right but the solution is that once you've gone left-right and then jumped forward you'll have to do something like left-righ

Dragon's Lair and Space Ace are both on iOS AppStore. Space Ace was a much easier game to beat in the arcades but I never got far on Dragon's Lair. Now, thanks to the mobile app, I can finish the game while my son watches on - a

When I graduated from college, it was 1994. Most people who were making good money at the time were Unix C programmers so that's what I did out of school. Honestly, I felt more ageism because I was young at the time (contrary to this

I'm a 40+ engineer in the NYC metro area and I've never felt more in-demand in my life! I think it boils down to a simple idea: computer-science is a dynamic field and THE FUN PART is that you need to always be learning. There ar
