Can’t wait for the, “Elvis operator” to land. Going to remove so much code!

There also seems to be zero analysis of the winners. Simple analytics would have raised concerns early on. I guess the company just didn’t care, as long as someone won and the mark…

I expect people said this about developers that just knew about TCP/IP and not how the PHY worked. At every level of abstraction they is a boundary that people may not choose (or h…

"With 40,000 technologists across 14 technology hubs around the world, there are endless opportunities to create what’s next" [ https://careers.jpmorgan.com/careers/US/en/divisions…

The concept is to make you see the world though someone else's eyes, to put you into someone else's shoes. You are highlighting your inability to do this, and proving how you only …

I have similar stories about acquaintance IT contractors using offshore tax schemes. Are they better or worse? These anecdotes about complex systems only fuel peoples preconceived …

This is (unfortunately) a huge testament to patenting technology. I remember Shazam shutting down a lot of early iOS apps that provided music discovery services. The technology it’…

It seems to be quite common in angular, even if used indirectly or via inspired libraries. https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=angular+redux&typ...

There is a certain paradox with teaching something like Redux, in that it's designed to make complex systems easy to understand and manageable. Yet when trying to demonstrate with …

Why not use a usb battery pack for your phone? Seems like one fewer thing to carry, and no extra 4G cellular contract. This generally seems to be my conclusion when thinking about …

Logging into a system that doesn't support your password manager, such as games consoles, shared computers, restricted work machines etc. Copying over a really long generated passw…

Google reader highlighted this issue. I wonder how many finance apps there could have been if Google had never developed Google Finance.

I expect you could but perhaps not with a very good experience. I think a lot of the lighting modes rely heavily on doing that work in real time, rather than in post processing. It…

I assume the depth is measured using the two cameras and the dot projection. So you couldn't use a 2D copy that was depth adjusted (if that was what you were suggesting). I also as…

It's more in the translation step between your vision and your mental image. If you ever stare at a single word it's never muddled or back to front, but when you scan a sentence an…

The experience isn't the same, but I think the affect on someone without it would be similar. In essence, it would take them a lot longer (or at a higher cognitive tax) to intemper…

iPhone 7+ with AirPods, perhaps it's the BT LE or something? I also forgot the worst point, when the headphone cord gets caught and rips the 3.5mm jack out of my device resulting i…

I know, I was just adding balance. People loved and still miss Micro SD slots on phones too.

Reasons I hate wired headphones: 1. I have to carry around a mass of wire that it always getting tangled with its self and other items in bags and pockets. 2. I have to fiddle arou…

It will, there is normally a, "kick down" point where it will accelerate at max, for emergency situations. This also normally disengages the max limit. Another feature is speed war…

Yes I did, sorry... getting confused with this and Flash ;)

I don't think any manufacturer will be (or want to be) selling ICE cars in 2020, but it gives those manufacturers a mandate to push ahead with deprecating ICEs without scaring shar…

Perhaps in your retrospective opinion, but it was good enough for every major investment bank to invest millions in, and even enough for a company like Microsoft to try and copy...…
