Hi HN. So I was layed off a few months ago because of covid, and been leetcoding fulltime since. I've tried solving lc problems in the past with a full-time job but barely made any…

Depressed people feel lonely. When you hear a sad song, you relate to the artist. Knowing someone else out there has also been in your situation, makes you feel less lonely.

Like many Apple products, as an outside observer it seams ridiculous the amount of money people put down for their products. But once you use them, the ah-ha moment eventually kick…

Me too. Lost my v1's, just ordered the new one last night. If I lose these, I'd get a third. I too forget that they're in my ear, sometimes sleeping the whole night rolling around,…

Anyone work out of a co-working space? Totally recommended? I been doing the work from home for 2 years now. It's getting a little meh. Love the freedom, but it would be nice to ha…

That's an employers decision, my post was not meant to comment on how well someone can program, given their qualifications. Best programmer I know does not have an engineering degr…

This varies with where you live. In Canada, a programmer is certainly not an engineer. And for Canadians going for a TN visa to work in the US, programmers are not allowed. Usually…

I took that ethics course. I don't think that course really made much of a difference in anyone's career. The material was mostly common sense ethical questions.

I think that's their goal, is to be accepted again. Their late rash of investments seem to insinuate that. Back in the 90's, it was cool to be a Microsoft fan. Not so much over the…

As far as I know, this wouldn't work for U.S. citizens, as they are taxed on world wide income. Residents of countries (like Canada) do not pay tax on world wide income, if person …

That's not true. I played and studied poker for a many years, and I will say for certain that physical cues is a huge part of live games, and definitely not ignored by good players…

I've had n4/n5 and all the iPhones since 3GS. Disagree that iOS is behind overall. It's behind in features yes, but usability I still like iOS more. Droid: -more os features -more …

Xcode 6.1.1 fixed most of the problems you mentioned in the first paragraph for me. Sourcekit crashes was the biggest annoyance, ughh.

Initially I was ripping my hair out with Swift, but after couple months of using it full time, things are much smoother now. I still have doubts on it's production-readiness though…

There's a 1440p monitor 32" Benq. About $600. VA. Believe theres a 4k version of this also.

I struggled with those, but after a few years doing iOS dev, it isn't so bad. It all eventually sticks. And autolayout is freakin awesome imo, though I hear a lot of people groak a…

You are thinking of the traditional conception of MVC, where the model notifies the views of updates and changes (i.e. they can talk to each other) Cocoa does not use the tradition…

Same sentiments here. Microsoft was the admirable company of the 90's for me, and more recently it's Apple and Google. I really hope Google doesn't continue on this path, though it…

“The value of a constant doesn’t need to be known at compile time, but you must assign it a value exactly once.” Excerpt From: Inc, Apple. “The Swift Programming Language.” Apple I…

Not officially yet, but in due time I think it's inevitable.

Same here. All you have to do is get over named parameters, square bracket message passing, and overall verbosity, and you know enough to read/understand Objective-C code. If you c…

I never understood what the fuss was all about either. If you know one other language really well, Objective-C should take a week or two to get use to. To understand all the design…
