I created this site partly as a way to teach myself web development, and also because I work remotely and found that there aren't too many resources for finding remote jobs.

>London is novel among recent Olympic hosts in that its plan for the Olympics was focused primarily on what would happen after the games.
You're also assuming that the original comment was about bringing a child into the world in a circumstance where it was hard to make rent, they couldn't afford to quit the job and had a horrible boss. What if these circumstances happened after having children? Not everyone can simply quit and work elsewhere.
If you're an engineer working in the bay area, you might have plenty of companies to send your resume to but that doesn't mean you're going to land on your feet. What about non-engineers? Or those who don't have the good fortune to be in an industry and location that is largely unique? I'd be interested to hear your advice for any factory workers in the Midwest where that factory closing means tough times ahead. Please, tell us how you think they should've avoided raising a family or making sure they had marketable job skills so they could land on their feet with a job of similar pay so they wouldn't have to struggle.
That seems rather offensive and narrow-minded. Sometimes life has its surprises that weren't expected. Life can also throw us curveballs. One day you might feel like everything is going well but then something changes. I'm sure some of the 300 or so people at Twitter who are about to lose their jobs probably thought they had things figured out.
I used to have a 17" PowerBook years ago and I can tell you, if you're wanting portability then a 17" machine is not it. Machines of these size tend to be used in the field when needed, so it's not typically expected you'll be carrying one around day to day–they're more a "need to head to a shoot, take the 17" and put it in the truck so I can edit video while we work" type of deals.
More importantly, you'll find that many places where you'd normally be able to use a laptop are no longer an option, simply because of the gargantuan machine you're carrying (coffee shops, airplanes - many places you would expect to use a laptop tend to be uncertainties with a 17" laptop). If you're going to be carrying this around for any length of time then your back is also going to let you know just how painful this is.
As pointed out on the thread, the rise of 15" hi-res screens provides many of the benefits of the real estate of the 17" without the drawback of the extra bulk - provided you're eyesight is pretty good.
I wish all bloggers with sites so bloated that AMP is a fundamental difference didn't feel they needed to include large image assets, custom fonts, and fancy JavaScript libraries (not suggesting this blogger does - just a general complaint).
I'm sure the vast majority of apps this affects are mostly rotting away with broken functionality. Worse still, there are many apps that could definitely benefit from newer APIs. There's no doubt that this new ruling is going to have some edge cases where old, but perfectly functional, apps are lost - but there is a grace period that developers of these older apps can work in to update them and keep them listed.
This is a good compromise - Apple issues a store-wide ultimatum to developers and any that are still interested in keeping their apps listed will update them. Those that aren't will need to do nothing. If any of your apps disappear, it stands to reason the developer has abandoned it.
Beyond the main Holyhill campus, Apple has a large amount of office space within Cork's city centre.
Additionally, Apple also has a pretty big assembly line there. Many of their products have also been (and still are) assembled there. For many of the PowerPC and earlier Intel machines, if the serial number started "CK", it was assembled in Cork (it's been a while since I've memorized Apple's serial number structure, but they used to be much easier to parse).
However, the area of Cork that Apple's campus is located isn't very affluent and suffers like many inner-city boroughs in Ireland and Europe. Ultimately, the state of the roads isn't Apple's responsibility. You'd hope that a company like Apple could lean on the local government to improve it, but Apple wasn't the company it is today, back in the early 2000s. It was getting there, but it was still coming out of the near-bankrupcy 90s.
Any reason the author insists on spelling it "OS/X" or is this just their personal preference? It shouldn't, but this bugged me when reading the article.
Edit: in fact, most of this is tinfoil hat. I'm all for safety and security but some of this is pretty extreme. "Don't trust third-party Mail providers like Gmail?" Not sure the author realizes a good number of people they're emailing use these services, so should people not converse with Gmail users?
This entire list of suggestions and "explanations" is straight-up FUD.
Wouldn't seem fair if Yelp did all the work and any app or platform can simply piggyback off of it and present it as their own, or obscure where it came from.
>Don’t aggregate or blend our star ratings and review counts with other providers. You may show content from multiple providers, but Yelp data should stand on its own. For example, you may not average Yelp business ratings with other providers to show an overall score.
If you're combining ratings from different platforms, this seems to fall foul of Yelp's developer TOS (and a few others, I believe)
I do think Tesla have their work cut out in distinguishing what autopilot actually is vs the general Persephone that autopilot means "it controls itself, autonomously".
Autopilot doesn't mean fully autonomous. It was never that originally in aviation either, basicLly just controlling altitude and speed. I'd say Tesla's use of "autopilot" is pretty spot on.
One piece of feedback: that gif of the process needs to be recreated. It's far too quick and the erroneous key strokes and typing/deleting is really confusing. Recreate the gif, but make it slower and error free to clearly demonstrate the process.

Thought so.
It'd be far from easy. The cost and magnitude of a project like this would be enormous for the entire subway system, and the MTA is not without bureaucracy. As others have pointed out, the subway has far more pressing modernization issues that rank higher than this.
I lived in London for several years before moving to NY this year and the failure rate of swiping my MetroCard is about the same as touch issues with my Oyster card / contactless debit card in London. While it would be a great advancement technologically, there really isn't a pressing need to replace the swipe card anytime soon.
There are definitely many advantages to contactless cards, but I'd rather the MTA focus their efforts on something with much more of a benefit. E.g., real-time train information, something that also requires a huge infrastructure change, but one that would have a greater benefit to travelers.
