I did exactly this, was CTO at a startup, it failed, went back to being IC at a large company, then went into management again and realized I am just not happy in that role.

Went back to IC roles, no regrets, much happier with what I am doing. Money isn't everything, as long as you have enough to live well, you don't need to make 7 figures, just make sure you are working toward a couple million in investments for retirement if you are in the US.

That was the article about the Switch bulbs if I remember correctly. I think the company went out of business. I have a couple of them and they work and look good, but are really heavy and I can't use them in certain applications that were only ever meant to hold up really light incandescents.

The article also talks about a black hole accreting at a rate of 1% every million years that is 'currently' 20 billion solar masses.

It is 12 billion ly away, which means, if it really does continue getting 1% larger every million years it's actually ... 143,719,397,330,047,128,616,744,826,647,657,321,145,325,176,127,225,856 billion solar masses at this moment. (if the compound interest calculator is to be believed)

I really hope that's not true.

Artenstein has later confirmed on Twitter that connecting to a malicious network is not necessary.

Users that didn't receive this month's Android security patch should only connect to trusted Wi-Fi networks and disable any "Wi-Fi auto-connect" feature, if using one.

What is the point of the second statement?

Oh, man, if only the designs I got were this simplistic and only used standard controls with the standard look and feel.

This is a very interesting start, but it's a long long way from being able to even represent in a simple layout what I am asked to do on a regular basis as an iOS dev.

Maybe combine this with a PaintCode back-end and add markup for layout behaviors?

It's strange that on the Kotlin side the author goes out of their way to show 'shorter' ways to do things that are also available in Swift but not illustrated.

    let sorted = [1, 3, 6].sorted()
    let sum = [1, 3. 6].reduce(0, +)

Someone needs to tell him that his 15" retina mac has 1800 pixels of vertical resolution. No idea where he got that 1200 number.

BeOS was never real-time.

It was just good with it's threading for userspace activities.
