"If it bleeds it leads". -famous newsroom adage. This is true for all news and media, always. Humans are drawn toward stories that arouse fear and negativity.

It largely depends on the market you're in and timing. In SF Bay, things are extremely skewed toward renting right now because so many people are sitting on houses benefiting from …

Smart watches for kids are great compared to alternatives. My kids have Apple Watches and aren't asking me for phones/tablets (and the related evils like IG, TT, etc). Love to see …

Scams / Identity theft cost people 1 Trillion dollars a year ( https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/14/24156212/google-android-a... ). This is a huge problem for the elderly. I don't se…

Or if you want to eat it right away, make a carpaccio - https://youtube.com/shorts/WZ_orsakLG0

Sorry for the staff who’ve lost their jobs. I did a phone screen with one of their recruiters a couple years back. They told me they couldn’t afford my (slightly above market rate)…

Dataloader ( https://github.com/graphql/dataloader ) eliminates many n+1 issues. Basically, entity requests are queued up during evaluation of the query and then you can batch them…

+1 to all of these, especially #1. A lot of companies will have a career doc that lists expectations for each role. Take a look at the manager version and make sure it is actually …

Yeah a lot of places are doing this. My old company calls it "ad hoc" office attendance.

One thing I've always appreciated about Amazon is its willingness to experiment with everything. Offering reduced hours for some would hit so much resistance at most large corps an…

My definition is "Finds and creates the most valuable work for other engineers to do." I really started to see the value once I moved from Principal to Manager. All of a sudden I w…

Nomad is the BetaMax of container orchestration. Better quality than K8s in a lot of ways (supposedly), but there's no ecosystem around it so it's a moot point. Want a continuous d…

I went down the Bloom Filter rabbit hole for a project a while back and then wondered if I could actually fit the entire set space in memory. The set was IDs up to 2^32, so basical…

As a customer, I see a lot of value from Apollo's SAAS, which helps in "productionizing" graphQL. GraphQL has more sophisticated instrumentation and access control needs than simpl…

Every site that needs a CDN probably already has one, because it's a quick win. For every site that doesn't need one (small user base, small asset size, etc) it's likely not worth …

I agree it could do better explaining what Jewelbots are, but I wouldn't assume there's a dedicated "marketing team" for this product yet.

"They’re wired behind the neck but they’re every bit a competitor to Apple’s AirPods" Umm, no. The killer feature of AirPods is the form factor and not having an annoying cable con…

How ridiculously good is Amazon at getting free press? They have already likely decided on where to put the new HQ (1), and will get featured in these overwhelmingly positive artic…

The sensationalism and missing facts/context of this story is truly precious. I'd love to hear the specs on Ms Lile's Manteca house. I'm guessing it's significantly bigger than the…

Annoying. I was happy paying $100/yr for Dropbox to store my photos along with a few extra files. The photo features weren't great, but good enough for basic browsing through galle…
