Weak arguments. Labor exploitation is nothing special in regards to AI, neither is environmental impact. It's like everything else. You can say the same thing about Uber, Zara, Sup…

I barely made any changes and resulted in 430K

I'm having a hard time taking anything new from Google seriously. In 2 years they might just sunset both of these for yet another iteration of a work collaboration and messaging ap…

Your criticism is fair, except the camera access. It's a video chat tool, of course it's going to ask you to use your camera. What do you expect?

Begging is a form of request, or lead someone to do something. So it's like it requests/leads to a question.

Watched about 20 minutes. Maybe there's a point hidden somewhere in between his rantings, buts it's quite hard to grasp it. He moves back and forth between actual criticism of the …

How come it has a very similar aesthetic to Splitwise? Is that from the same developer or just using the same UI theme?

What I meant is that the closer you get to a delivery date, the more stress there is on you to "just make stuff work". Most software projects that: 1) create business value, 2) are…

In many cases, especially in the early days of a startup, you can't even afford the 1/2 weeks to increase code quality, because you might not have a business by then. If you have a…

True, but a counter argument could be that Apple has created the ability of your phone to have apps installed on it. And I’m theory you could jailbreak your phone and install any a…

I was getting depressed towards the end of the event list, and the last one cheered me up. Everything is circular.

I don't fully get it. What does the "edge" here means? How is it like a CDN? How is this different than Heroku/GCloud?

It's not only color. Can you imagine any of the latest Apple products in colors other than variations of white and black (ok, and "gold")?

I absolutely loath Booking.com's UX. Whenever it's possible, I use something else, like HostelWorld. Their interface is clean, to the point, and the reviews and ratings can actuall…

I haven't used it extensively, but SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) looks like it does a lot of the things you're talking about.

UI inspired by Sublime? It practically copied most functionality, behaviour and UI style from Sublime. Atom wouldn't have existed without Sublime. Or at least wouldn't be as good. …

Python doesn't need any reviving. It's a fantastic and very popular language in both web development and scripting. And plenty of jobs exist for it in the market.

Nope, there's no way around it. Tests are not easy. But! Writing tests, learning from that, then improving your tests, which in turn help you design better software will make writi…

What is that cool shell prompt that's in the video?

This is just scary. How can anyone now think that a government having any data about our online activity is remotely a good idea? Clearly, the potential for misuse is far greater t…

I Agree. The difference between a blogger and a researcher is that the former can say what the heck he wants on the internet and state it as an objective and universal truth. While…

I prefer tests over comments. Comments can't guarantee to represent what the codes does always. "Don't be lazy" is a fine argument, but it takes one time that you are under pressur…

It looks like developing an app for the Twitter API is a lose-lose situation. If your app becomes popular, you are bound to one day hit one of their API limits or just simply be re…
