    We removed ads from our app a few years ago after having read a similar story. In our case we were worried that any script kiddie or bad actor could very easily sabotage us and cau…

    I don't know what they did in VS2019 but there was clearly a ridiculous perf hit in many modules, especially Intellisense related. While I sort of liked the AI-predictions, they in…

    Thanks for the link. I noticed some of these OEMs had started implementing their own "more reliable" PushKits, but I am guessing that the privacy implications are quite bad so it's…

    Thank you for this! It seems like many apps on the growth path go through this same investigation, since we arrived at many of the same conclusions you did (down to calling our own…

    We've also run an app with 1 million+ users for a few years, and I can confirm that notifications are a wreck on both platforms, but IMO even more so on Android/FCM. In fact most o…

    I've been using it as a language learning app. I just join some channels in my target language and listen to various people's voices and accents and try to understand them. Every o…

    As a B2C app, we're also really confused by a bunch of them and are waiting to see if they will clarify or refactor it in a better way. A lot of our entry fields fall under the "if…

    Thank for this discussion, it is really interesting to me! The surgeon proposed what was probably the algorithmic way to fix the problem. Given that the OP was having issues becaus…

    Arrogance because the GP, neuro and cardio all made completely different diagnoses (conveniently from within their field of expertise) based on 15 minute visits and prescribed non-…

    Yes, except OP being offered surgery for "ligament and tendon rerouting" as the solution to a problem the doctors spent just a few minutes understanding is the equivalent of your I…

    I got back to normal after about a month of supplements and sunlight. It happened to me again a couple of years later to a much lesser degree since I had just forgotten about suppl…

    Dealing with some specialists feels like dealing with automated bots. They almost sound like they follow a script down to the letter. If A then prescribe B, then C. And almost neve…

    For the same exact issue, you can go to a cardio and get prescribed some cardio-related medication, go to a neuro and get prescribed neuro-related medication, etc. To a hammer ever…

    Here is my story. A few years after coming to the US I started developing some neurological symptoms: confusion, dizziness, lightheadedness. 1. The GP first blamed it on dehydratio…

    As a user I don't like it but as an app/website provider, it significantly delays spammers, giving them the illusion that what they're doing is working so they should just maintain…

    Yeah even in online dating, it just turns to "let's meet up after this is over lol" and then you completely forget each other a couple days later.

    So if this was triggered by the vaccine (rather than the adenoviral vector), would it mean that this person might have also had TM if they had caught Covid19?

    On the other side of this, if you have a long credit history you just don't remember the answer for many of these things. What was my apartment number 15 years ago? Which county di…

    I don't remember the math on hashing/bcrypt but isn't this the case that all passwords sort of hash to a fixed length string? Like why even have something like "your bank password …
