I would love to use this for E2E testing. It would be great to make all my assertions with high level descriptions so tests are resilient to UI changes. Seems similar to the Amazon…

Sounds like a problem AI could solve filtering patent applications before they make it to a person.

This coin is issued by Paxos. Paxos, by the way, hands down has the worst interview process of any company I've spoken to in my 30 years of working in engineering. So while I am ro…

FYI you have an onboarding bug. If you don't complete the Github onboarding after creating an account there's no way to recover.

A process of generating beautiful images that are a collaboration between a designer/artist and assisted by Dall-E AI in the style of Annie Leibovitz.

This was the beginning of an avalanche that led to most of the remaining engineers at Atari to leave and try to start their own third-party game companies to follow in the success …

Atari in 1983 went from the leader in video game production to completely imploding. In 1979, four of their best programmers left after demanding equity in the sales and were refus…

It's over the top comments like this that make me visit ycombinator less and less each week.

The reason Apple doesn't do this is they want to make the AppStore a safe-place and a worry free experience. If anyone can run whatever they wanted for whatever length of time they…

I'm going to answer but I should preface by saying I'm not going to try to proselytize you to Swift. If it doesn't work for you and you're happy with Objective-C, then by all means…

I hear this argument a lot that it's not production ready but my personal experience does not agree. I use Swift in production for several apps with relatively large codebases that…

I appreciate the straightforward and simple website that gets right to the point.

Similarly, the number of git-commits is also a poor judge of how much work was done. When CI builds automatically build release notes based off of the git-log since the last succes…

Are the founders legally obligated to return the $6MM they took off the table or is it a moral obligation? (Or is there no obligation whatsoever) And if it is a moral obligation, w…

I've used voice authentication with Nuance's SDK before and having a cold or gaining weight does not affect the verification process. It is based on acoustioc signatures in your vo…

Are engineers constantly afraid of losing their jobs? How does this affect their willingness to accept risk?

We once had a game demo that was crashing every time we tried to exit the game. Inserted an exit(0); in the shutdown code and it never crashed again.

C syntax really isn't that hard to understand, it has persisted for a reason, and I am quite happy when I get to write C. It's not the ideal language for web-programming but it is …

It is worth noting that Xsser only affected jail-broken phones so the point of the article, that Apple's "closed-ness" was to fault here, is a factual error. In fact, it is that ve…

I was experiencing the GPU panics as well and it turned out to be a hardware issue. Did it only happen when you were using the NVidia GPU and not when using the on-board?

You left out Squarespace - whose site editor is amazing. Was this on purpose or just an accidental ommission?
