My take is that they love apps for the simple reason they show as easily clickable buttons to enter. Most dread having to type a Web address for something they regularly do. Few kn…

I had a new colleague on the team, who I had to on-board. I gave him a few simple tasks, just to get him into the whole setup. He literally copy/pasted my task description into Cla…

SQL, OLAP, Primary use case is fast aggregations on append only data, like usage analytics. It's fast, it's........ really fast!! But you need to get comfortable with their extende…

This seems like the kind of things you can do before you get kids and have real responsibilities. Then you need to get back to reality. Sounds fun though and I would have liked to …

Exactly. It's just a natural maturity-curve that every new piece of tech inevitably goes through. Tech on the maturity curve: ICE cars: settled EV cars: rising PC's: settled Phones…

Great read, although a shame that it didn't go any further than adding the write cache SSD solution, which must have been many years ago. I was hoping for a little more recent info…

This is absolutely wild

Did Douglas Adams travel in time.... this is scarily accurate!!! My BMW keeps turning off the volume if I wave at anything in the direction of the touchscreen. There is a little in…

Insane find. Brilliant!!

Same. I even got my mom an electric bicycle as a present, just to lower the entry to physical exercise, but it just collected dust in the corner, despite endless promises to start …

I was in an online fashion market place company that wanted to test 60-minute delivery in the same city. We bought a few bikes and had employees ride out to customers, just to chec…

Yes, that is really a shame, although it's been fully open sourced. Yandex is aware of how the geopolitical situation is hurting them and are therefore building a new company calle…

You should really consider getting a proper router like Unifi or the like. It's a one time cost and it will save you from these issues no matter what ISP supplied crap you end up g…

The idea is not to just generate any random string that matches the grammar. The idea is that if your request is "What are the first 10 digits of pi?" and you restrict the response…

>Wouldn't it be almost impossible to hit a duplicate when the users each form their own question? The embeddings approach would increase the likelyhood of finding the same question…

The game, DRIVING TEST, was surprisingly simple, challenging and fun. https://tic80.com/play?cart=3045 Thumbs up!

Impressive results

Why do everyone seem to think that management does not have actual good intentions with measuring NPS as a KPI? The companies I've worked with have all had genuinely good intention…
