This is so awesome! What a time to be alive that something like this is possible.

Claude and I had some adventures in areas nobody had yet explored

Honestly seems like a proxy for bad parents have sad kids. Makes logical sense to me.

I was 100% sure I was about to see a USB drive made out of a nut shell when I clicked on that link. Both disappointed and not :P

No problem :) Only other talk so far is a very similar talk from the iOS side available here - https://youtu.be/rvfVs_29MsI?t=4578. We do intend to talk about many more things in the near future. Ill try to remember to report back here when we do.

Shameless plug for the banking app that I work on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AsM4gwmS5Y Fully offline on both Android and iOS

It’s funny, they way I describe the relationship I have with weight loss is exercise is that the exercise is giving you the reason to eat clean. You won’t want to make that effort worth nothing. It’s not the same for everyone but I certainly notice it

Honestly it's not technical things that are hard to hire for its finding engineers who show initiative and can communicate well with stakeholders. Its like finding gold especially now in remote working.

I would make that tradeoff in a second.

Personally, I have joined a company and scaled the team from 12-52 engineers over the pandemic. Our productivity is through the roof and everyone is getting really well and forming good connections.

Engineering Manager - Normally around 4-5hrs a day of meetings.

If you think that Slack requires constant monitoring then I think you are using it wrong. I believe there is zero difference in the reply expectations of Slack and email. As per my initial comment, you are someone who doesn't check email and that's ok, in my engineering manager role I receive over 200 emails a day. Most of these could be 3 - 10 word slack messages but they arrive in my inbox with the same urgency as every other message requiring the same level of triage as a very important contract.

I suspect much of the hate for slack is from two types of people. Those who are too young to know the tyranny of email and those who used to ignore their email. As to why it’s so popular, it was the first good business chat solution that went mainstream. And I still haven’t seen another that matches it’s quality

There is also the question of relative airspeed. Planes need to create enough lift to stay in the air. With a large tailwind they need to go faster to keep enough air flowing over the wings thus higher ground speed to keep the same relative air speed.

Recommend "radical candor" it has totally changed my management style and it applicable to both managers and non managers

This comment might be generalised to "I live in a functional country, I'm gland im not American"... I agree f-that

I don't doubt this has happened but also just as likely they did know about it but some dumbass product owner decided it wasn't a high priority until someone external reported it. My company has hundreds of similar (not just security) issues just lying around.

Overcast (iOS app) does the first of your points.

How do you read the article?

I am truely astounded by the support to abandon DST. I absolutely love being able to come home and play with my daughter at the beach before it gets dark in summer those are the best times of my life. That extra hour of light is incredible.

This is an interesting question. I think it depends on the situation, You pay for memory so if you are getting near the cap in the execution of your function then managing the memory as you go may be beneficial but otherwise I don't see why you wouldn't just ignore it. I do have an open question weather the memory leak would effect subsequent runs of the function after it has been "warmed up" - https://serverless.com/blog/keep-your-lambdas-warm/.

What do you mean by this comment?

Seems to max out my CPU on MBP macOS Sierra Chrome 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit)

I have personally swum with wild Orcas. They seemed to asses me then discount me as food fairly quickly.

He was on a public network so any email he sent as going out in plain text over the air. Nothing secret or advanced about that.

Regardless of the unit eating less will make you lose weight.

It is not only intended for mobile. Check out https://developers.google.com/ for what I think is a great use of material design. I agree that using it in your site may be somewhat Google branding of your site though.

Why not just use their free hosted service?

Why not get a new MBP if you want a work horse notebook. Yes im sure you can give me reasons but you should at least compare apples with apples.
