Mercury now offers personal bank accounts. You can create virtual debit cards just like companies can with Brex/Mercury/Ramp etc.

173.245.58.0 is owned by cloudflare ( https://www.cloudflare.com/ips/ ). You're probably tracking the IP address of cloudflare's reverse proxy that hits your application instead of…

Missing "Why 2035 will be the year of the Linux desktop".

This will very likely be an app inside "Toybox" - where there are other fun/goofy/pointless apps like replacing the car's horn with goat bleating / fart noises, light show, romance…

1. Don’t work from home. Even if you are working for a fully remote company, get a personal office. 2. Have a laptop or desktop that only has a command line on it. Don’t carry your…

And I wish cyclists would re-learn that pedestrians have more rights of being on sidewalks. That said, the bigger plague on sidewalks are e-scooters. Additionally, most cyclists I …

3DS is not just 2FA, but it has an option to shift liability to the card issuer in case of card-stolen disputes. Our fraud has come to near 0 once we started 3DS enforcement. 1% of…

They are probably testing stolen/hacked PayPal accounts. Probably doing a dispute to ensure the owners don’t suspect anything is going wrong, until they use it for bigger transacti…

Simpler - eg. A table of some numbers, with a question to quickly compute averages of a filtered set, after performing some quick boolean logic to filter them.

We don’t operate in the US. Our applicants can’t present any standardized test scores

We have to use some criteria when all applicants are effectively the same - 4000 applicants and 6 interviewers. We interview each applicant at least 3 times. Definition of being sm…

We get a few thousand fresh grads applying to us each year. It’s practically impossible to interview every one of them. At the same time, any sort of coding assignment we give is e…

Hiring devs is perfectly fine if you don't look for F# skills - just hire generally smart people, and allow them 1-2 weeks to get comfortable with F#. Make them just solve problems…

F# is quite usable with AI. All AI models are perfectly capable of generating idiomatic F# code. In fact, because it has a nice type system, if you ask the AI to model the problem …

Everything is an expression (i.e. its an actual functional programming language), and along with it comes a different way of thinking about problems. Coupled with a really good typ…

Apple Watch Ultra 2 - yeah it can last 2 days if you carry it with a phone, a day without a phone and limited cellular use. It does require daily charging ideally.

Cellular smartwatches allow you to leave your phone behind, and still be "somewhat" connected - e.g. allowing people to reach you during emergencies, calling a taxi, checking maps …

Yup - they can also give you migraines (or worse) if you introduce bugs into the "software", just as I was able to debug my problems away.

I used to get frequent migraine attacks - there were times when I would be down 3 days in a week, just unable to be productive. A lot of it was induced by stress. I then tried some…

Nice work. Just what I need to train the non-tech ppl in my team. Wish more things were fun to learn like this.

So much negativity all the time. The fact remains that AI models are out in the public domain. If you’re unable to see how that can improve the lives of an average person, that’s a…

Exciting update! How does the new vector tile system handle performance on low-end devices with large datasets?

We use about 50 frameworks in our company. They are solid, and I would recommend them, assuming you dont want a MacBook. IMO they are the best laptops for engineers who want to use…

Both sides of the political spectrum are authoritarian. Each dominant party will do whatever in their power to hold onto it. That said, law and order is needed to sustain the popul…

I’m not blaming anyone for anything. I’m saying buildings were set on fire. And yes we know that internet was shut by the government, but we had a day of burning overhead optical f…
