In my company the greatest benefit is that: it is not mandatory. So I'm never on-call. My free time is too valuable for just a bit more of money.

I just bought a mbp M1. Would the M1 ultra be available on mbps in the (near) future?

Don't think it's plausible, otherwise it would already have happened. I mean, if country X really wants to pull that card they could have already done so without having to tell the…

It's easier (and usually more rewarding) to start something from scratch than to fork.

And this is why the tech interview process is (still) broken.

You can as well build the site locally (e.g., on your computer) first and commit the .html files in your page repo. GitHub pages will then serve your .html files directly without h…

Doing sports and running with a 6 inch smartphone attached to your arm or in your pocket is just uncomfortable.

Can you upload your own mp3s to the Apple Watch? Do I need special software for that?

Which platform is exempt from this? I have heard similar stories from GCP, AWS, Linode, etc. I would even say: the bigger the platform, the worse the customer support (i.e., Google…

Everything matters. Given two more or less skilled candidates, I guess if one looks like Brad Pitt, well, that's something no? Or if someone has a really nice voice, that has to co…

Probably the 4th generation ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod_Shuffle#4th_generation )

Everybody knows that the amount of time one should spend "splitting a string in C# by a delimiter" is 2 minutes 16 seconds. More than that and it's a "red flag". I'm tired of all t…

Agree. At least in Europe we have, I believe, what I like to call "European English" accent: it's a mix of American English (because Hollywood + Netflix) plus British English (beca…

I want to throw a bunch of micro-robots on the top of my head and let them cut my hair exactly the way I want. I don't want to brush my teeth at night: I just put a bunch of micro-…

> I just don’t understand how this is a net time/energy savings? At the end of the day is all about trust. Do you trust code you find in SO/Copilot to be good enough for your use c…
