I was being interviewed by two owners of a small engineer firm. They asked, "tell us where you see yourself in 5 years". I rambled for ~30 seconds about marrying my girlfriend and …

I went to school with a guy that dropped a $100k-200k VNA at Apple during an internship. He didn't get a full-time offer despite their investment :P

I was looking at running [versitygw]( https://github.com/versity/versitygw ) but filestash looks pretty sweet! Any chance you're familiar with Versity and how the S3 proxy may diff…

Is Govee the down-cone style? Or are there also others doing that? There's been a couple of houses that have this and I wasn't sure what they are using, but it's the only one that …

Seems fairly simple to have a smart contract do a DNS validation to unlock funds. For example, someone sends to a contract "$1 to example.com". Then the URL owner publishes either …

There are options, however just saying anything is going to get you labeled as a shill heh. You're right that any new crypto is indistinguishable, but that is part of the risk in t…

Would you consider this a competitive replacement of Busybox? Curious if you've compared, since they also take liberty in cutting out uncommon functionality.

I've never paid a real estate lawyer anywhere near what an agent demands for a fee.

IMO that's not evidence of anything other than a bug with package manifests and the current Playstore version. I have to side load apps all the time on my kids tablets because of A…

What exactly did they do here? X linked video is broken for me, and the article just says the performance is bad. My pixel 6 just got Android 14. Possibly just OS/new hardware rela…

A lot of my team switched product areas when they needed to spice things up. They had a wide range of years on my team, from 2 to 10 years, and AFAIK there was no stigma attached t…

A resume is for kicking off talking points with the potential employer. Employment gaps can be misconstrued and not easily explainable on a resume. LLC adds some plausible deniabil…

Just happened to my in-law. She dropped her phone on the stairs, screen cracked, and became unresponsive. I gave her an older phone I had and swapped the sim fine. But she couldn't…

Some things turn out to be hard to do.

It also materially changed the experience of Google's products for the worse. I am curious how that might have impacted their bottom line (as small as home devices are to their bus…

There is skill to coin flipping. You'd need to blind the flipper, either physically blindfold or make it so they don't know which result is the positive outcome ahead of time.

I've always caught the coin and flipped it onto the back of my hand to display the result. So I guess I have an opposite-side bias.

File for an LLC (or whatever legal entity is available to you locally), take your break, and when you're ready to come back put whatever you want under it for what you are interest…

Seems like DMA is going to be doing good things for persons in the EU Maybe others that are better informed are more pessimistic? What are the penalties for non-compliance?

I believe there were 2 settled lawsuits with Google that they have multiple locations tracking settings for different products, and turning one off did not turn the others off. So …

I'm sure home insurance prices are going to follow shortly after. You know, because that's why they needed to raise prices. Yep, any day now.

I'll be honest and say your interpretation is probably right, and that's how the NY times reporter interpreted it. However, my strong anti-MS + all conglomerates (i.e., bias that w…

Maybe I miss-interpreted the quote at the end of the article. > At the end of Mr. Nadella’s appearance, a Justice Department lawyer asked why he thought Google paid Apple so much m…

Because Microsoft is in the game of being a big business, and demonstrably is not in the group that needs a fair market to thrive. MS is/was willing to make the same deals as Googl…

No I am not confused about getting testimony from competitors. I am very interested in hearing from companies that probably have legitimate grievances: DDG, Kagi, Brave, etc. MS is…
