> Fwiw I am a c/c++ systems engineer. I think anyone mentioning anecdotal experience like this should clarify. Maybe frontend JavaScript folks have a totally different take and that's expected.
Similar experience, having transitioned from full-stack to a dedicated C/C++ stack, learned/experienced firsthand that there is no one-size-fits-all tool.
“Just do enough good...”, it is hard to define what is "good". This tech has many dimensions and second-order effects, yet all the tech giants claim it a “net positive” without understanding fully what is unfolding.
> enabled by the internet, does the internet exist for this purpose? Of course not.
I think point article was trying to make: LLMs and new genAI tools helped the scammers scale their operations.
Are you sure ? Have been driving car myself when I visit. Since 2018 I don’t recollect a car without that arrow.
An inspiring story.Recently made a similar transition from backend development (with some frontend experience) to database development in C, current team am part of manages the authentication aspect. Can truly resonate with this journey on a personal level.
"analog->digital path" thank you!
Google maps has this neat map : https://www.google.com/maps/@40.4392216,-123.0674806,6z/data...
Design looks almost like iPhone. Seems like the design patents have expired.
Sometime back watched a video explaining how Fernando Alonso's breaking style is similar to ABS, but with him modulating the brake force he was able to outbrake others and gain time lap over lap.
Got curious, tried at low speeds & surprised how much the brake force modulation reduces the stoping distance. It has become a habit now and when the speed drops like maybe to 40mph or less instinctively modulate the braking.
do we know if the commenters claiming to be ex-employee, real ex-employees ?
This! I think people from south east Asia can relate to this. I’ve been an active rider for over a decade before coming to US. When counter steering was taught in the motorcycle safety program,it felt counter intuitive. One reason I can think of is back in my home country max speeds were under 50mph where you dont have to counter steer that much.
When I came to states in 2012, missed using a phone with physical keyboard. Got a used Bold 9700 on eBay for $100 and instantly fell in love with it. Optical trackpad complimented the physical keypad. Sometimes I wonder why Apple hasn't used the home button as optical trackpad, atleast in the pro models.
it’s the convenience not to enter your details again...
With more and more adoption of ApplePay and GooglePay to power the checkout experience this advantage might away..
Why is this comment downvoted?
this reminds me of the quote "You never know who's swimming naked until the tide goes out." by Warren Buffet
I work with lot of APIS (our team owns atleast 30 of them) switching between different environments and have found Paw (https://paw.cloud/) more productive than postman.
Tethering incurs extra charges too.
Walk through of each algorithm with visualization is amazing in that course.
Spot on!
Autocomplete even on really expensive IDEs runs way to slow..
Not true for jetbrains ones. Autocomplete speed is One of the reasons for me to go for their toolbox subscription
Hans zimmer instrumental.
More than Google or Oracle it is a win for JetBrains.
"... accordingly, they cost more." I disagree with this. Contractors pay a significant price by leaving a full time job. No benefits, no company sponsored talks,training, no paid time off. The extra buck you make contracting is not extra.
They said all those things to Java too. And still it is everywhere. So always bet on Java.
Addictive and relaxing. Loved it.
