Yhippa

And battery life is probably around 2 weeks!

The Apple Watch isn't anything to write home about, but it gets the job done (for the most part). Battery life is horrible. I'm charging daily. After using a bunch of form factors, only Garmin seems to get the circle right and WearOS seems like there wasn't a lot of thought put into doing smartwatch tasks on that form factor.

They are seriously going to need to come up with something out of the box that you mentioned to draw users. There is no wow factor at all with this thing.

> 1. Being close to the money within the companies I worked at

This is the #1 bit of advice I give to people if they ask for it about jobs at companies.

I like that they at least had _A_ process rather than none.

I remember having an iPhone 5 and the quality of games were pretty good, albeit pricey. I did pay for a bunch of games at the time because I thought that was fair. Coming back to iOS a decade later and the quality of games is unrecognizable from the era I started in. Even Apple Arcade has a lot of stuff that feels like f2p/p2w stuff that is basically mobile casinos.

I tried to give a bunch of modern games a shot and they're essentially slot machines that gate game progress with pulls. I'm glad console and PC gaming hasn't been completely taken over by this, but it is very close.

See you there! Will give you feedback in person if I can find you.

Feature Team A is working on New Functionality 1, Feature Team B is working on New Functionality 2, but no Feature Team wants to be responsible for all these weird interactions like pop-ups. That doesn't get you promoted.

I stopped getting content from there when I stopped using RSS readers. Sad.

I'm trying to think of a tech device that has made me this happy in a long time and I can't think of many. They did a lot of things right with this.

This makes me wonder if all the really cool new EVs that are coming out are going to be riddled with issues in about 4 or so years. Most of these seem to have come out in the past two years and I thought Tesla had a huge head start on them. They appear to have closed the gap. Time will tell.

I'm going to go out on a limb and posit that what we need to do to survive on a daily and short-term basis has far outpaced our ability to cope with it.

It just hit me that when I was doing IT support for some departments in college I laughed at how antiquated tape storage backups were as I saved my papers and homework on to magnetic storage 3.5" floppy drives.

Boggles my mind that for as long as I've worked, I rarely see this in practice. It costs almost nothing to do. I try to do it when I can.

I'm not going to provide a source, but I bet a lot of developers can relate to what he said. It feels like a lot of us have had Scrum shoved down our throats at some point or another and it feels great to finally lash out.

> That’s really my biggest issue with agile. There’s a big focus on process, but it’s about the people

From the Agile Manifesto: Individuals and interactions over processes and tools. What you described doesn't sound Agile by the book.

Not sure where you are but it feels that this is exactly what it's like in America. I am not sure why nobody really cares and I suspect by the time people try to do something about it, it won't be too late, but it's going to take a Herculean effort to fix. Mindset and structural support.

The reason I have heard about this is that standing is fatiguing and discourages people from going on and on. I get it but I think it's strange.

Someone alluded to this in the comments here, but this does strongly remind me of the Slashdot moderation method but much more sophisticated. That was my favorite site moderation method. Giving meta judgement/commentary on things felt like a privilege and not a given.

Same for HP and Lenovo. Those sites are such a disaster and I'm surprised that nobody in their sales orgs are raising hell. There has to be lost sales due to not being able to easily find things. Those sites are incredibly slow as well.

Probably figured out a way to cram maximum telemetry/analytics/surveillance and make advertising pervasicenin those devices

What do you think of it so far?

I graduated from university with a computer engineering degree. There was heavy overlap with computer science so if I never got a job in that field, I could still potentially have a career.

I ended up going down the software route over time. There were little to no recruitment for us at all of the career fairs. I assume that the concentration of jobs in the US were on the West Coast.

Had I taken the one job offered to me in that field, I might have ended up setting my career back because of the little pay and startup nature of it.

It's sad because the actual computer engineering part of my studies were by far the most fun and interesting to me.

This boring old Web 2.0 site does the trick for me

Is this similar to when Google and Facebook renamed to Alphabet and Meta respectively and then rebalanced the former applications under the latter like a red-black tree?

You sent me down the rabbit hole. It turns out there are only 19 theatres that are serving up the film version: https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/movies/2023/07/.... This image near the bottom of the article shows the comparisons of the formats: https://gfx-data.news-engineering.aws.wapo.pub/ai2html/Cropp....

Now I have huge FOMO and don't have a city close to me to see it. I haven't seen a movie in theatres in years and it would have been nice to treat myself to this one.

If the Pixelbook has the right aspect ratio, it would be my definition of the "perfect laptop".

My impression is that most Slack instances are highly private and most users are explicitly invited. This is in contrast to Reddit and to some degree Discord where the barrier to joining subreddits or servers is generally low.

If this is true what is Mozilla's business making niche feature requests to other companies products that they don't own? Is the plan to do this kind of advocacy for other products?

I don't see a ton of actual people or friends posting on there. I do see a ton of brands, though.

Thanks for pointing this out! Actually a bunch of other songs on there are really great.

I'm pretty happy with the web clients but just downloaded this to give it a shot. I was surprised to see that in the initial account onboarding they ask for a password. Then once I entered that information it let me log into my provider by a wrapped page (not the system browser) which looked a bit out of date to me.

This never used to bother me back in the day. When I used these tools, I'd happily give my credentials up but I'm very suspicious of this way of registering my account. I suppose it's open source but the juice isn't worth the squeeze compared to the web clients.

The main thing that makes the web clients work for me is search against decades of emails.
