Imagine seeing a cancer announcement and thinking, 'This is bad for the branding.' Your lack of empathy is what’s actually detracting here.

I don’t think the article is suggesting this at all. My takeaway from it (and my own view) is that we need to continue hiring, developing, and growing talent as we have in the past.

Today’s AI tools can generate working code, but it is often difficult to maintain -- especially as a codebase becomes large and complex.

Junior engineers working within a team, alongside senior engineers, with proper guidance and mentorship -- and while learning how to effectively use the current generation of AI tools -- are exactly what the industry needs to avoid a talent shortage in the not-too-distant future.

On the hardware side, I wonder if the author has seen the MX Ergo S model. It features a USB-C charger, and they claim it’s 80% quieter.

Released a fix earlier today (Oct 23rd) (v1.0.5)

A typical consultant/consultancy FUD used to sell proprietary/closed-source products (can’t be vulnerable if bad actors can’t see the source code).

> Security becomes a major issue. Anyone can be hacked. However, the risk is far less when it comes to proprietary software.

Also the irony, considering this was published on SolarWinds community site!

The “old” Reddit version is slightly easier to read on mobile browser:

Driver is being investigated for DUI, so I’m less inclined to believe his/her word — seems like an easy scapegoat.

I do not enjoy being blunt, but the author seem to have borrowed a page from a “that” conferencing company’s marketing playbook by making very questionable claims.

It’s a nice project, but:

> Zipcall is built radically different. We left behind slow bulky servers, opting for decentralized peer to peer calling. We engineered a platform with maximum video quality and low latency.

Translation: it uses WebRTC or we didn’t invent anything — it uses technology built into your browser.

> State of the art VP9 video compression combined with our scaling optimization makes your calls crystal clear.

Same as above (assuming you’re browser supports VP9).

> Breakthrough peer to peer WebRTC technology means your video goes directly to the other person without a server. No middleman. No extra stops.

Same as above.

> End to end state of the art encryption means your calls are exactly that. Your calls.

How exactly?

I did just that early last year when I realized that they simply don’t have the infrastructure, support personnel or sense of urgency I needed from a broker to handle my money. This is pre-free trades — I decided that I rather pay a fee than roll the dice on when they’ll clear trades and bank transfers (in one instance an ACH took 2-weeks, with canned messages from support).

Rejecting Electron apps has nothing to do with Apple trying to kill web technologies. Just because Electron apps are developed using technologies meant for the web does not mean they are web apps. This would not be an issue if Electron itself did not use private API.

I admit that I know next to nothing about hardware engineering, but I can’t fathom how it would be possible to continue to miniaturize consumer products at scale while maintaining durability, quality and keeping them repair friendly? Would love some one with the right background to explain how they would design an AirPod like device that could be fixed by your average repair professional/shop/dealer/etc (let alone me at home).

Recyclability is a concern though!

Yes, and the last paragraph pretty much sums it up (spoiler alert) — It's likely that JANET is simply how government employees commute to their top secret jobs every day.

Bummer. Coincidentally, I just (about an hour ago) purchased a bunch of license for Transmit 5 Mac -- fantastic product. I've also been a Prompt and Transmit iOS user since release -- also great products.

I only scanned it, and it seems like a solid book; however, I found that PHP is an odd choice for CompSci I book. From the book:

> PHP is a dirty, ugly language held together by duct tape, cracked asbestos-filled spackle and sadness (http://phpsadness.com/). It is the cockroach of languages: it is invasive and it is a survivor. It is a hydra; rewrite one PHP app and two more pop up. It is much maligned and a source of ridicule. It is the source of hundreds of bad practices, thousands of bad programmers, millions of bugs and an infinite abyss of security holes and vulnerabilities. It is a language that was born in the wild and raised in the darkness by two schizophrenic monkeys. But its got character; and in this world, that’s enough.

> Mac’s entire ecosystem is designed to take money from the consumer and lock them in. You can easily find the equivalent Linux programs for almost everything, free and more user friendly. For e.g., I paid for 1Password on Mac. Instead I use pass on Linux. I paid for Omnifocus on Mac. Instead I use Neovim with Notes.

I’m sorry, but this is nonsense. The author could have opted to use the same tools on Mac — having the option to purchase a commercial software on a platform does not mean it is designed to take money. There are plenty of commercially available software packages on Linux as well.

I also don’t see how one can compare the experience of using OmniFocus and 1Password with pass and neoview (Apples and Oranges).

- Pundit for authorization (instead of cancan).

- Shrine for handling uploads (instead of Paperclip).

Both fantastic gems — shrine in particular has a clean and modern code base; it’s feature rich, yet flexible thanks to its plugin design.

From the man that brought us such classics as “If Meat Eaters Acted Like Vegans - Ultra Spiritual Life” (https://youtu.be/z0O_VYcsIk8).

I've been using it for about a year now, and have come to prefer it over bootstrap and foundation (it's grid system in particular). It's also well-documented, and has a clean/well-organized codebase.

I developed somethings similar a while ago for personal use, as I cannot trust anyone else's version.

The password is randomly chosen, but data is encrypted client side (as well as server side). I do update the code once in a great while, but ultimately I don't feel this can become a truly trustworthy product.

Good luck!

Good job! But might I suggest finding an editor, or perhaps even a co-writer to help clean-up syntax and grammar.

If this was a state (Soviet) sponsored production, I wonder who could/would claim ownership.
