That's....not true. Maybe a few pros have been playing for 20+ years, but most of the top players (by championship wins) are young. Hera, Lierrey, Vinchester, Lewis...are in their …

Is your argument: - Only ship products when they are perfect against every possible edge condition? or - If Waymo fails in a few scenarios today after 20 years of effort, they can …

I keep seeing this over hiring argument everywhere. What's the evidence for that? And weren't the layoffs of 2023-24 supposed to correct that? In my experience, in every big tech c…

A lot of home computers are capable (with a large margin) to run a large amount of self-hosted services (eg: jellyfin, immich, minecraft, plex, karakeep, ... whatever people want t…

> ...your shoe size The funny thing is that a lot of Google's internal training content uses an imaginary product "gShoe", and discusses the privacy implications of data that such …

The parent poster is saying (and I agree) that Airpods and Airtags are only superior because Apple anti-competitively privileges their integration with iPhones. It's not that they …

I would love 24 hour Waymo buses, running at a high frequency. If taking a bus becomes easy, reliable and fast, more people will do it, and there will be less cars on the road.

I agree that this would be an awesome feature, and it would also significantly enhance iPads' value for me. That said, having worked on account/identity systems at another FAANG, I…

Rediscovered this game a year ago, and am absolutely loving it. The r/aoe2 community is also generally welcoming and helpful.

Do you have a link to a good one? I presume the original videos of Feynman are lost, or never existed?

But setups get equally complicated, even with human software engineers. The approach that the OP is talking about applies only to experienced, good architect-level SWEs, and I susp…

>> or raise 100% private by Google? Isn't that what they are kinda doing? 13bn out of the 16bn is coming from Google itself. I think the reason they are taking 3bn from outside hig…

I do exactly the same as you. I wish that I didn't need windows for gaming, and things are getting better on that front, but my favorite game (AoE 2) works significantly better on …

Evidence I can give in support of the article: - very few teams have headcount, or expecting to grow - the number of interview requests get has dropped off a cliff. So BigTech is d…

Short the stock, go long the appropriate index. eg: If you think NVDA is overvalued relative to the overall tech sector, you could short NVDA, go long QQQ. And if you have a more o…

I totally agree with your sentiment, but can't you still do that with Android? IIUC, you can still load apps directly via adb. Is that not correct?

The only reason I use Windows is for playing some old games (primarily Age of Empires II: DE) that only work well on Windows. In the AoE2 case, I also need CaptureAge that only wor…

Next year will be even worse. This was the first year of Trump's new term and most of the anti-immigration executive orders happened in the last few months. By August, most interna…

On iPhones, you need to pay Apple $99/yr+taxes to do even personal development. Yes, technically they have a free tier, but it supports a max of 3 devices, which you can't change, …

[I have no personal involvement to this project, but I'll defend it anyway. And I am sure you knew what they meant, but still chose to write a pedantic comment] If you use Gmail, G…

So according to you: they should give up their paid seat so that you don't have to pay for assigned seats, even when you know way in advance that you are traveling with a 3 yr old?…

Interestingly, I feel the opposite for myself, as an experienced senior engineer. I am doing more side projects, and finishing more projects, and feel a much greater level of confi…

Serious question: Why don't you pay for YouTube premium? Isn't it hypocritical to want YouTube to offer you its content for free? If the content is valuable to you, you should be w…

Because of disproportional risk. Landlords generally can't suddenly increases rents. It happens only at the end of lease, and everyone knows when the lease is going to expire, and …
