dmtroyer··on Fitness influencers are full of shit
Not to mention every third or fourth post and story is now an ad.
dmtroyer··on Private Key Extraction from Qualcomm Hardware-Backed Keystores
I mean, this seems realistic. Product Security is contacted, the issue goes into some queue somewhere. Eventually it becomes a priority and the correct engineers have to be found to understand the researcher's paper and replicate the issue to their satisfaction.
dmtroyer··on Design flaw behind MacBook Pro’s “stage light” effect
I should say, I don't regularly use it. Yes I have to use the escape key and the occasional display brightness change. I mostly use a magic keyboard.
dmtroyer··on Design flaw behind MacBook Pro’s “stage light” effect
Well, my anecdotal experience includes five different MBPs over the last nine years and I haven't had trouble with any of them. I'll continue to buy MBPs and ask for them at work.
dmtroyer··on Design flaw behind MacBook Pro’s “stage light” effect
I've been using a MacBook Pro 13" or 15" professionally for the last 9 years. I wouldn't use anything else. I don't use the touchbar but I don't mind it. I also appreciate that they are getting thinner and lighter as I regularly carry them in a bag on my shoulder or on my bike.
dmtroyer··on Mac mini review–a testament to Apple’s stubbornness
yawn.
dmtroyer··on Ditching the MacBook Pro for a MacBook Air
yup. it should disappear soon enough.
dmtroyer··on iPhones are hard to use
An article full of on the subway anecdotes rings pretty hollow to me.
dmtroyer··on Flow chart of cognitive biases
It is unfortunate that the URL that loads after following the link does not actually direct to this particular flowchart. Makes sharing difficult.
dmtroyer··on Ask HN: Does SEO still work in 2018?
Can someone post or link to strategies for optimizing for local google seo?

dmtroyer··on MacBook Pro Launch: Perplexing
also, to be fair, I wonder how many of the extensions died in the box.
dmtroyer··on Saving the Internet 2000TB a Day: Fixing Font Awesome’s Fonts
Seems like they could now afford to have the author consult on the project.
dmtroyer··on How 'Minority Report' Trapped Us in a World of Bad Interfaces
T9 Texting RIP.
dmtroyer··on Microsoft Surface Studio
But does it have a USB port?!

In all seriousness, pretty cool.

dmtroyer··on Netflix Now Only Has 31 Movies from IMDB's Top 250 List
What is a "common fact", exactly?
dmtroyer··on Black therapist was shot by Florida police while helping a person with autism
Unconscionable.
dmtroyer··on Agile Is Dead, Long Live Continuous Delivery
Am I the only one that thinks this 3 column layout is atrocious?
dmtroyer··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2016)
$40k in NYC? That's rough.
dmtroyer··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2016)
Onsite or Remote?
dmtroyer··on Sublime vs. Atom – who will win the editor's war?
Sublime.

I've been using a combination of Sublime and Emacs for the last 6 years but decided to give Atom a try. Talk about a resource hog. It was noticeably decreasing my battery life and I'm not sure they will ever escape that given it is based on Chromium.

Is the Engineer II position remote ok?
dmtroyer··on Google Nexus 5x and 6P
I was having the same experience where I was getting super disappointing battery performance and was ready to replace it, when I read an article where the author claimed it is very unlikely the battery is at the end of its life (wish I could find it) and it is even more unlikely that a battery you buy off of eBay/Amazon will be better than the one you already have.

Turn off Google Fit, turn off always on OK Google hotword detection, clear the Google Play Services cache.

dmtroyer··on Renting vs. buying a home
I think anyone will concede that depending on the location and interest rates, the math can be close. But 4% on a CD and 6% interest only loan? That is not realistic.
dmtroyer··on Poll: As a founder, what is your salary?
someone should start a poll with the question "As a founder, what is your total yearly compensation?"
dmtroyer··on What salary does the founder of your favorite startup get?
Right. Keyword here being 'salary'. Most business owners pay themselves only enough of a reasonable salary to keep from getting audited and compensate themselves through other, technically non-salary, means, for tax purposes.
