Not sure if I had the same issues but my situation was resolved by cleaning my lightning port and using a quality cable.
I want tested code in my docs. I want my docs’ build to fail if sample code doesn’t actually work.
"most" to me means more than half. Many folks think it means somewhere around 2/3 or 3/4.
I wonder what percentage are afraid of non-autonomous cars.
I’m interested in understanding what it means to be a military minded coder.
Reminds me of: People said you can’t write a financial trading system in a garbage collected language. Turns out you can as long as you don’t garbage collect during the trading day by carefully managing allocations and…
“The End of Empathy” is an Invisibilia (NPR) episode arguing empathy for a person harms others. I find the episode to be an interesting window into how some folk think.…

Same. I considered switching iCloud accounts when I switch between work/personal modes but decided that the risk of accidentally leak information between account or losing data was too great. At least with the Macs I…
With Sidecar I was hoping that physically connecting the iPad to the Mac would be enough. Would a physical connection (with perhaps an additional prompt) be a sufficiently secure authorization alternative? Putting my…
A company I worked for defined big data as anything not analyzable with a relational database - a PDF or video was big data. Companies say they want the latest buzzword even though it’s against their own interest and…
I stopped interviewing out of fear of being accused of bias and the subsequent effects of such an accusation.
My understanding is that Stripe offers UI to sign up for a subscription, but then offers only an API for other subscription actions such as changing from monthly to yearly or cancelling. Someone have a link describing…
Is there a simple way to charge for a monthly PWA subscription without coding a backend to handle the various subscription use cases and without providing a complicated UI to subscribers?
Occasionally people will get angry that I won’t eat the same food they’re eating. This prompted me to get business cards printed where on one side is an acknowledgment of the social value of eating the same food…
Speaking of shame: Many people in the Bay Area blame tech workers for their woes. A friend of mine, an engineer at Google, also believes this and feels much shame. If they can focus on what others are doing wrong it…

The customer contract at the tattoo shop I worked at required customer to take full responsibility for understanding their tattoo, especially non-English words. Also customers had to attest that they are not or have…
To clarify, I manage my notifications. I was referring to when pairing with people on their computer.
When pairing I’m annoyed when a non-urgent IM or email notification pops up and I lose my pair’s focus. Some folks have their text messages and social media notifications popping up too, preventing concentration for…
"Women in tech are a hot commodity," I heard one recruiter say to another.
I thought about it more. My definition of normal is very inclusive. There are socially awkward, social butterflies, more and less conventionally attractive, retired and middle aged, married / unmarried, all sorts of…
Almost all media coverage about my community seems to say “look, there’s this weird thing going on, isn’t that weird?!” I believe any short-form coverage of a community by someone not in that community and for people…
Good question. I honestly don’t know. The vast majority of these events are ones in which STI transmission could not occur because there is no skin contact or fluid exchange. At the events where transmission could occur…
I’d say that most of the people at these events are not in tech. As far as geeks vs jocks - I’d say it’s pretty much normal people. Or perhaps what’s normal for me. Perhaps slightly more hippy / burner than the average…
