You’re correct that LA is usually hot (95F+) this time of year, but the humidity is what’s abnormal. The dew point in Disneyland was higher than in Disney World yesterday due to a tropical storm that dissipated west of…
That and going to Philz or Tartine afterwards. At one point both those places were on every Apple marketing copy.
If anything, coming across as “a little odd” can be a sign I’m actually talking to a human.
Your perception of the reality is spot on. For this round I was hiring for entry level technical support and we had limited time to properly vet candidates. Unfortunately what we end up doing is have to make some…
Relatively. The amount of diacritics on Vietnamese surpasses European languages so text rendering becomes a challenge if a naive developer doesn't test with Vietnamese.
> I used to say this about seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time after seen pictures/video of it, but the eclipse was at least 10x that experience. I said the same thing about seeing Tunnel View in Yosemite for the…
As a crossing guard at my local high school told me: "Welcome to the Brotherhood!" Every baby is different and you should take all advice with a huge grain of salt, including the ones listed here. Don't be afraid to ask…
I had to look up that last bit. There was a system I was working with whose developers told me “Assume Eastern Time” all the time (I'm on PDT/PST)…until the daylight saving time change in March. I missed some data from…
It's cheaper to ship something from Shanghai to Los Angeles than from Bogotá to Cartagena, or so my classes taught me when I took a class on Colombia's economy.
Flighty leverages the Apple Push Notification Service (APN), which the iMessage infrastructure also uses. It's why you can receive notifications in flight but can't act on them.
>As population centers shift and housing gets built, people move in next to noisy airports and then say to themselves "Holy shit, I moved next to an airport and it's loud. How could I have known? Surely this is the…
You need one when building a Hemnes or Billy. The back of the nightstand/bookcase is a sheet that you slide in and hammer in with nails.
Even PCs that are nearly 10 years old can still keep going when you add more RAM and use an SSD. We’ve done that for work computers for non-devs and it’s been going great.
Slight tangent on this and something I've always wondered: if something as basic yet extremely crucial as scheduling software is outdated (SWA might very well be on a mainframe or transmitting CSV files in an FTP server…
Cryptic codes and abbreviations are surprisingly prevalent in more places than you'd expect. Anyone working with EDI documents in medical or retailers has first hand knowledge.
Feel like there's no real difference now. People today who don't use (or don't want to use) password managers keep their passwords/credentials in the Notes app or some combination of "most used symbols and numbers".
In all seriousness, we've been deploying everything on us-west-2, and it seems to have dodged most of the outages recently. Is there something special about that data center?
Anyone here know if the thunderstorm events in SoCal earlier this week is a result of this?
I really wanted to use Coda (now Nova [1]) from Panic, but I kept coming back to VSCode. VSCode seems to be the path of least resistance. I think I’ll try it again after seeing the news about Atom. [1]: https://nova.app/
I like A) simply because sometime during college I became a terrible test taker. I realized that I'm very good at projects and actually understanding the concepts, but I couldn't articulate that in the traditional exam…
Fun example about lazy teaching: Our undergrad's HKN chapter kept a test bank of past exams in Physics, CS, etc. When I was studying for my Physics final I went back to past midterms and realized the professor recycled…
Hard to say. Those in Arizona not in the Navajo nation wouldn't agree with you since they're still on MST. I usually say "PT/MT/CT/ET" for those not in the list of stateside exceptions since it just removes ambiguity.
Maybe that's why places like SoulCycle, Barry's Bootcamp, or yoga studios have also sprung up. People do want connection, just not in the way it was before.
I've read that the decline of religion also plays a role here. Aside from the religious aspect, the sense of community and regularity you get meeting the same people on a regular basis is lost. It's kind of the mix of a…
Is this why some orgs have "sales engineers?" People who can pick up the nuances of a client's question whether a company can actually do feature X?
