If you think "app store spam" is a real thing, you've spent way too much time on app store. I install apps that I need -- news, banking, podcast, email, Uber etc, usually from well known companies. A small amount of…
Reading many of the sibling comments just makes me laugh. Android has allowed everything from the beginning, and overall it looks... fine? Of course there are all kinds of malicious actors who manage to publish malware…
I'm pretty sure there is no such "guarantee". You can definitely Apple has a track record of supporting 7 years and I have absolutely no problem with that. Samsung and Google actually say they are committed to 7 years…
I do myself a favor by not doing this, install ohmyzsh and start working. Seeing what other people have done with shell, vim and all sorts of things, I know this is a rabbit hole and I could spend endless time on it.…
Looks like "...validate UTF-8 strings in Node.js" is a more accurate title, as valid8 runs on Node.js and the other uses a Node.js std library function. The TextDecoder method should work in the browser, but I don't see…
My guess: Flash required installing a native host and browser plugins, while this runs in the browser sandbox which is generally considered very safe (much safer than Flash)
Serious question: how far can you go with base model's 8GB RAM? Doing VM workflows is one reason I didn't bother with recent Macbooks, as nice as they are. It is simply much cheaper to get a machine with removable RAM…
Curious how many Apple TV+ users are out there. Despite all the noises, I don't personally know anyone who used the service, or often, even heard of shows on that platform. They never release subscriber numbers (of…
Nah If I am waiting for code to compile and I'm tired, the most interesting thing happens on my phone not what I need to do next, regardless of what that is
Yes. For I long time I thought Microsoft is based in Seattle, which is not correct (Redmond) but not completely wrong either
I have been "taking" the MIT 6.824 (6.5840) distributed systems course, and the course is insanely good. (it is not in this article because this is a very advanced CS course.) You can get all the lectures including…
Very strange. If it's a layoff, just say it's a layoff and follow the standard procedure. It's bad but nothing fundamentally wrong if it has to happen. If it's about performance, like the article says, the employee…
Don't know what your definition of "world" is, but people in China (that's 1.3b people) don't have access to WhatsApp, and the "default" chat app WeChat is monitored by the police at all time. So maybe you want to be a…
"substantial" needs to be put in context. At my company with thousands of employees, informal polls (where every employee can participate anonymously) show that people who are in favor/against of RTO is 1:4. At least…
What else do you want to leave out? It is an endless list, and nobody out there will actually enforce it -- even if someone follows that voluntarily, another company is going to ignore it.
Go to levels.fyi, search Apple, then look for salary that is for a similar position and has a similar base. That's a starting point. The base does have a quite wide range, I assume that's the range for a few different…
Because that's Apple. Just like how they forces everyone to come in office three days a week. Not every company does that -- some big companies are still quite flexible with full remote work. But this is Apple.
Correction: most PhDs in scientific fields don't know what unit tests are. Nobody ever taught/told them to write unit tests, and they have never heard of them, have never seen one, let alone written one. (Someone with a…
Just one data point -- my company with over 5,000 developers is completely rewriting nearly all (decades-old) Perl code in Go.
As bad as Google's vision and long-term strategy, from what can see today I'll bet on Chromecast rather than whatever Amazon brings to the table. Chromecast is in many hotels and easily usable from almost any…
If my company allows me to work from anywhere in the US I'll be completely willing to give up any future promotion. My current level and compensation allows me to live a happy life now, probably even better if I moved…
I don't know what you are trying to argue but the facts are abundantly clear about what happened -- 1, nytimes/wirecutter did f*ck up the whole thing -- The editorial team and the business team weren't on the same page…
They have, but are mostly very elusive, and definitely not something easily accessible like this
Counting 3..2..1.. before Nintendo takes this down.
