    I have an LLC on Brex, but haven't gotten an email yet. I'm not sure if that means if I'm in the clear or if the email just hasn't rolled out yet. Would be great if you could send …

    The original complaint was mostly around layout patterns. I'm not super familiar with XAML, but "offloading that all into writing custom C# code to lay things out at pixel location…

    I enjoyed the post and appreciate that more people are looking for privacy focused alternatives to traditional vendors. Though I'm disappointed hear that one of the conclusions see…

    This is maddening... Why does Google, with all the resources at its disposal, choose to cheap out like this when competitors in the video chat space (from tiny startups to gigantic…

    Would be great if you could make your pricing public. Call-me pricing immediately disqualifies a vendor from consideration for me, and I suspect I'm not alone.

    I think one difference is the existing giants have smarted up to the fact that new competing startups can be existential threats to their business like they were to their former in…

    Am I the only one who clicked on this thinking it's a compilation of Rich Hickey's comments in Clojure source code?

    Exactly, it's clearly not a lack of resources, but explicitly not prioritizating candidate experience for candidates you're not actively pursuing. Which, by the way I think is a to…

    To set expectations, it's been more than 10 years since I started learning, so I don't want to make it sound like it was an easy/short process for me either. But regardless, here's…

    It feels like a specialized voice control interface with a limited set pre-programmed functionality accessible through specific hard-coded keywords (which is what I assume Teslas c…

    Fair enough, I guess both Chrome and Safari were holding us back until a few months ago haha. Really ecstatic to see that it's going to be in Safari soon though! Thank you so much …

    I'm not familiar with Teslas at all, but it sounds like a voice interface might help work around some of these limitations, a la Alexa/Hey Google. Maybe they already have it?

    Widespread flex gap support will probably eliminate 95% of grid usage in my apps today: https://caniuse.com/flexbox-gap And what a surprise, it's just Safari holding us back again.…

    As much as I appreciate Mullvad's stance around privacy, I don't actually use a VPN for privacy (I use Tor for that), but mostly for bypassing geo-restrictions on my entertainment …

    I love everything about Mullvad except their device limit, which is unfortunately a deal breaker for me. 5 is completely inadequate for my use cases.

    I honestly don't understand this either... Youtube knows exactly which videos I've watched and which I haven't. Why does it think it's a good idea to ever recommend videos that I'v…

    I wonder why Fortnite doesn't also make a WebAssembly version of Fortnight and deploy it on fortnite.com? Then Apple would get jack shit from any sales there, so they can fight thi…

    That's only the difference between a monopoly vs duopoly though, and as far as the app developer is concerned I'm not sure it makes much of a difference. Reality is anyone releasin…

    Since so many of the screenshots show them running a separate Android app on each screen, I wonder if the apps themselves actually run simultaneously. Or if it's like Android apps …
