Yes.

Doesn't matter. Industry management will hear about it and start cracking on their remote worker. FUD is out either way.

If it is serious, he/she should have keep it private. That's why we can't have nice things.

I don't know who would willingly pick Qt to do anything. It's a massive pain in the ass to use, the licensing is expensive and convoluted, and it codes like you're 20 years behind. The IDE is junk, the tooling is garbage, the slightest version shift breaks compatibility, the library conflicts with same names of objects, etc...

Qt is my new practical joke for engineers complaining about how bad they have it in their current stack.

Linux really needs a better UI framework because all other platforms are better and faster to implement in native languages/apis.

I left SF. I could afford living and buying in SF, the deal was just not worth it anymore. It was getting there before the pandemic. It just made it much worst much faster.

I'm not selling my decision. Be adults, make your own.

Now it's a computer.

I've heard these upgrade stories since the 90s (on Mac). It got better a few years back, and it's back again at hit or miss but in the end it's like backup strategies: it's basic knowledge at this point but still needs to be repeated.

If your mac is a production machine, don't jump on any of the updates, decide if you need the update then check your programs one by one.

If you can, pop into the Apple Store to test the system.

I'm not defending Apple, I'm not victim-blaming, it's just an advice to avoid the misery of going past the point of no return.

Same but I stopped wearing mine. 7 months life is too short if it was new. Should take it to Apple. All for complaining on the bad stuff, but this is a free throw.

"In many ways, I feel like my job as CEO and Founder is to absorb all of the insane parts of running a business so my team can focus on building, learning and enjoying their jobs."

This is spot on. I would extend to senior leadership in general.

That. So much.

Nothing gets fixed if you don't say anything, but the odds are always supporting the fact that this bozo was placed by another top bozo.

The leaders who appreciate this, will go the extra mile to develop trust and/or open door with ICs but if you aren't 100% sure you have this, it means you don't.

Bozos excel at social aerodynamism and those who start to like them are to be worried about just as much. Bozos can even end up on boards, VCs or public figures. Never assume there are rules, never assume someone is addressing the obvious problem.

In the end, if you sniff a bozo, pack up and go. That's your only move.

I feel old for having the answer...

Using the MobileSDK (https://developer.dji.com/mobile-sdk/) you can build this straight on a mobile app. With the OnboardSDK (https://developer.dji.com/onboard-sdk/) you can run it on the drone directly.

DJI is the global leader of the drone industry. (http://dji.com) We are looking for multiple engineering roles. If you are looking for an extremely challenging job, look no further.

I think it wasn't about making it easy. If it was, it's easier to go get a keyboard on amazon.

Very good stuff!

At my company, because of the lack of OS X/iOS devs, we developed a while ago several training courses. We made different ones, web, cocoa, cocoa-touch and they all work. With prerequisites (none for web, object oriented programming for cocoa*), we can have devs ready in 2-3 week even if they never touch these techs before.

The secret is simple: Incremental Project-based training.

Create a set of 5-10 projects which all: 1/ put in direct action a theory point. 2/ take advantage of previous acquired knowledge. 3/ leave the student learn on his/her own.

Just like this post tries to claim "The Hustle™ is bullshit" so is this post.

It's not work hard vs work smart. It's both.

For me, if I sleep less than 8 hours I'm brain dead => 0 productivity. I am more productive at night than during the day. I need to change regularly the project I work on, so I am always working on several things at once. For instance, I am less productive 50hrs a week on the same project than 100hrs a week on several one. And the list goes on and on..

It's up to each and everyone to see where you start loosing productivity and what makes you a better worker.

As a CEO, this ability of self improvement is something I am always looking for in my employees. (but it's rare) The last thing I am looking forward to do, is checking the clock. When you pay someone the big bucks, it's not to be changing diapers.

The only thing that is for sure is that in term of productivity, there is no black and white truth or rule.

No, I meant to everyones' inner circles.

"Put your money where your mouth is" Paying online dating will always have better results because of this.

Also you take under consideration almost exclusively OkCupid.

OkCupid != Online Dating.

Because of how it works, OkCupid is full of needy girls (and starving guys).

They go there, put three pics, play the dumb-ass matching game (understand answer 30 questions) and then enjoy receiving 4000 messages the first day. Deep down, they feel "woa I'm that good!" and they wine about guys being lame (and their pick up lines).

But here is the cold truth (from what I saw in the silicon valley) 1/ most girls are gold diggers OR what-have-you-done-for-me-lately (Eddie Murphy-style) - including your ex. 2/ most guys just want to hook up.

You can't sort this out with friends or anything. Even if people have a tendency to protect themselves from bad-people by closing their circles that is a negative reflex when trying to do online dating.

And online dating, especially when free, is the perfect fuckable-meat-supermarket. (excuse my french, I am... French) So you can come up with any pickup line, as long as the quality stays the same, it's the looks that matters. With the few exceptions based on luck OR coincidences.

This is also why a lot of people have a negative image of online-dating. There is of course the geeky-desperate, you're-not-capable-otherwise image.

For at least some time, people will still have this image. If you try to educate the world about online-dating, you're screwed. You should try to kick ass at your website, and make it feel like it's _not_ online dating. Take distance from this image.

And it won't work if it is free or if you try to involve friends. It will work by solving the question: "how to raise the quality of the members commitment to the idea".

I think good leads could be: 1/ pure and guaranteed balance in girls/guys (for straight websites) - It can be extremely repulsive. 2/ remove un-active accounts. 3/ Push people to open themselves - more privacy, different layers, many technical ways. 4/ force them out of the website. (you provide the first contact, but try setting up the date, suggestions is a great step already) 5/ limited amount of members (increased by periods, without some elitist bs)

The issue is, it's all about quantity not quality. The big problem I foresee is that might go against a juicy business plan - at least at first, and definitely when raising money. (better have 200M people poking each-others virtual a-holes than 10k people doing something and paying for it).

As for Hollywood's lie, it's always the same bitching. Hollywood's lie is only as valuable as the number of people who believes it. The truth is, people want to believe in Hollywood-dreamy-love but they tend to take everything too seriously to actually catch it. But hopefully, they will one day get tired of it and get down to earth.

Good luck in your adventure.

Epic. Must. Be. Shared.

Postgresql.

I have been working with postgresql for more than 8 years now. I created FPPostgreSQL a cocoa framework for Postgresql (the only one?). (developer.flyingpigcorp.com)

What makes postgresql better? - Better SQL features - PL/SQL - Stored procedures - Performances - Configurations options.

As for web apps, mysql has "better" integration with many scripting languages, but when it is time to select a DB you'll get pass the few integrations issues you might have and focus on perf and features. Since acquisition by Oracle, MySQL is getting better and better, but still my heart is with PG. PG will deliver the performances you need.

Note: I just came back from while42 event in SF @ socialcam, and they use mostly postgresql for the db work.
