Is this Clippy for Grafana?

A friend of mine who has done mostly professional web development is starting his journey in iOS development with SwiftUI. He's done great work of finding answers to specific quest…

I don’t think it’s bad advice but having shipped multiple (really bad) games, I think it misses the two biggest/best pieces of advice I’ve gotten: 1. GDDs are probably a distractio…

I haven't gotten too far with my test 13" MBA. I booted it up and installed Xcode -- it took about 2 hours to install, which I don't understand. Now that it's installed I can't bui…

Out of curiosity - how do you normally interview? Is the risk that much greater when interviewing someone who already works for a direct competitor as opposed to someone who could …

If you want to be a solo/technical founder, I'd consider learning to build web apps a great first step - it's accessible, cross-platform, and flexible. There's also no shortage of …

This is a great idea, well done! Have you considered adding a background task to automatically push the data to e.g Dropbox once/day? I would love to have my data in a usable locat…

Interesting article, IMO the single biggest "blind spot" gmail has that makes Hey look very attractive is the idea that users should be in control of the experience. Privacy is gre…

Hey this is a really great idea and well executed. Did you use a template for the website or built from scratch?

I have a lot of things I want to do. I also suffer from 'decision paralysis' -- rather than starting any one thing from my list, I avoid them all at once. During one of these "avoi…

Agreed, this feature set looks like an incredible amount of work for a year. Interestingly it seems it started as a shooter game more than an engine — explains why the feature set …

Definitely agree caution is a good stance to take -- as much as we need to be supportive of victims we also need to be smart about doing our research. With that said, given Uber's …

Would love to see more details on what actually goes down on the nitty gritty level -- it sounds like the business hemorrhaged money for quite some time and given that you didn't h…

Complete misrepresentation of homeschooling based on one person's anecdotal experience. "A single powerful person who is convinced of their own Rightness with no thought of introsp…

I wish there was more detail about the pain-point-finding process. As is, simply looking for examples of current pain points is very prone to cognitive bias -- if you go looking fo…

100% agree. I like having a smartphone with me because it allows me to do things I couldn't reasonably otherwise do -- but it can also be used as a crutch for things you don't real…

Was it the boolean check that degraded performance or was branch misprediction inside a nested loop the root cause? The solution you came to seems quite elegant but I'd be curious …

I wasn't explicitly taught this - but as someone with no dependents, I relate quite strongly to this.

Yeh, as an American driver I don't know how people open their doors in the city WITHOUT looking first. In rural areas where bikers ride on the sidewalk and are not super common, su…

In addition to film being entertainment, it's one of the most effective mediums for communication we have right now. Case in point: way more folks are aware of the Narcos subject m…

Love it -- reminds me of a more focused Uplink.

If you're happy to allow fellow humans to continue along a poor path, sure. I believe in establishing feedback loops and giving people opportunities to grow. Tongue-in-cheek aside,…

My response to such questions is usually along the lines 'Sorry, didn't realize I was interviewing for my ability to perform 5-second google searches.' If 'getting the job' in that…
