    For an anniversary with my wife once I took her on a VR tour of all the photospheres that I'd captured over the years at places like our old apartment or on holidays. Seeing places…

    I've contributed to this repo (and I also self host Calendly) and didn't have to sign anything. It _is_ a pain to self-host, but unlike claims elsewhere in this thread I do also se…

    Sounds similar to a 'jhana' state in Buddhist meditation. My understanding is that there are layers/steps of meditation practice and the higher level ones may allow such states; pe…

    Can you say any company names? I’m an ex-FAANG eng in Sydney currently considering options.

    I think this was a good interview; I was glad to see Nilay Patel ask about the potentially analogous situation between Apple:Spotify and Spotify:Artists. He didn't just ask and let…

    Does Chrome have a vertical tabs mode?! Because the primary reason I use Firefox is because it _does_ have a vertical tabs mode, via use of TreeStyleTabs and some userChrome.css ha…

    I"ve lived in all 3 of those countries (although have never worked for the police). My experience is just as your friend describes. The cops in Oz are truly awful! There was a rece…

    Hi there, I did the exact same thing as you (at Google Sydney), before eventually deciding that I must strike out into the wilderness. In the few years since I left; I worked as a …
