How can an acquired dude leave after less than 2 years?

I don't know any. Maybe I just have a better social circle than most. Or maybe this is a fake number. There are not as many people preordering this clearly fake device, instead this is just another way to launder money.

Ghostty is an example of a program that gives you a bunch of different icons to choose from and an easy way to customize it even further.

I don't know any other

Same here. My big purchase for Black Friday last year was an OLED TV.

This year was prescription glasses.

Outsourcing of software dev to India and support to Latin America. Paying pennies and charging high fees. They get contracts to all sorts of big companies like telecoms and manufacturers

As usual buzz words mean little to nothing.

The goalpost is always moving.

Definitions change to fit the narrative each one is trying to push at the time.

This link is dead already. Not sure if this is correct, it truly is confusing.

Also unemployed for the last 3 years after a layoff. Partially on purpose because I felt I needed a pause to recharge but I kept extending because money was not a problem due to stonks going up.

I learned react, go. Played videogames and had a child. Things are going well.

Part of me is afraid that too much time off the market will make me not fit for the workforce anymore but tbh I feel like my mental health really needed this.

Now I'm faced with a dilemma. Go back to my home country where I probably could retire now at 40 or stay here and try to get back to work. Trump administration has been making my decision easier by the day.

Bolívia is a crazy scary place

Pixel phones are rarely full price. Right now you can get it on Google Fi for $450.

They run promos around the clock. iPhones OTOH are never discounted.

Not sure what you are on about. Adding an HTTP header to a request is one of the easiest things to do.

Mercado Pago is closer to PayPal than PIX. I'd say it's a generation behind Google Pay/Apple Pay.

First Windsurf and now this. OpenAI is spending billions like there's nothing else to use this money for while being seemingly cash strapped for model training since they already signaled more investment rounds would be needed to remain competitive. They're trying to become too big to fail before they have a moat which won't work well.

As a teacher once told me.

It's a fork of Django. It says clearly on the docs.

I think this is actually the best way to zero an array in place. The other option is using foo.splice(0,foo.length)

foo = []; Will reassign the reference but other pointers can still have the array.

foo.length=1 will remove all elements but the first.

I like Astro

As someone that grew up in a Latin America country watching dubbed movies my whole life I welcome this technology. Dubbed movies are usually terrible with subpar performances and recycled voices.

It sucks it will kill a large field for actors, but AI has the capacity to be much better with voices and performances that mimic the actors.

Just requested my data deletion. Seems like it worked.

This won't stop the big ones, Google, Meta, OpenAI, Perplexity, or even the Chinese Govt. But it will make it harder for new entrants.

Google and Apple will have to up their bribing to stay competitive in this new environment

I needed a machine just to sketch some UIs in figma. I was going to get a Chromebook but my wife insisted on the iPad.

I thought it could sure handle that use case, I quickly checked there was a figma app. I was expecting some quirks.

A day later I returned it. Turns out that figma app for iPad can only "view" designs, not create them!

I feel like there's a very narrow market for iPads. I'm surprised they still sell.

Our Fiscal Year starts in October but one of a subsidiaries start in March which means we're often in different fiscal years. Make sure to account for that. We need to translate between real dates to fiscal dates all the time.

No they haven't. Fortnight has an ingane currency and someone just launched a crypto with the same name that is not affiliated to epic games. This is a scam trying to pretend it's a somewhat legitimate coin, if you still believe in these.

More and more I find code like this. When you dig into an interesting aspect it's just an llm call. I haven't decided yet if it's good or bad. But it does seem to work a most of the time.

The problem is that we're used to code that works all the time or none of the time. With LLMs you can't know if it's right for sure and it's really hard to check.

That may be true for a lot of people. But no matter how much you hate a specific company this just isn't true for most people.

For me personally it would be an immense boost to morale. Getting any offer would boost morale but a top tier tech company is the Pinnacle.
