The biggest problem with keychain for me is that it's only _your_ passwords. If you need to share things, then it's useless. 1Password is great for keeping logins for services that are in either mine or my wife's name. (Health care, 401k etc).
If it's a work or school account it can be related to cache lifetime settings your admin sets on the accounts. At my company it's set to an infuriating two days, so every Monday I have to log back in with 2FA again...
I do this too. It’s worked well for me. I have three macs and six windows machines for work where I like to keep config in sync. I generally assume the scripts work (and they do usually still work, especially on windows). Until they break when I hunt down the problem and fix it.
I’ve gone through a few iterations but for me it’s come down to getting things simpler so there is less to maintain.
It doesn’t make sense to me that Satya Nadella makes 10x less than Sundar Pichai. Last I saw Satya made about 20M and Sundar was making 200M. Given Microsoft performance vs google I don’t get it.
Completely true. Apple only cares about back-compact down to a few older major versions. So often the big projects (like modern apps, Windows 10 S, etc) Microsoft does fail or struggle to gain traction IMO because of the blessing and curse of their back-compat requirements.
Like you say, no one cares. It’s not a problem that’s in your face that you’re always seeing. It’s an abstract thing that people chose to ignore or are entirely ignorant of — to FBs benefit.
This is a pretty cynical viewpoint but I agree. It’s clear that TSA doesn’t do much. Someone I know has acidentially brought a pocketknife through security multiple times without it being found. They keep it in my backpack as a regular item and just forgot to take it out.
This is social liberalism though! Creating programs for all to survive and thrive and have a shot at a decent life. It’s the same thing with the NIMBY (not in my backyard) movement. Everyone wants to complain about high housing costs, but as soon as they themselves get a house they want to protect their wealth by blocking new housing developments. I find the contradictions frustrating
I find a lot of criticism and hate of homeless people in our tech world. Which I kind of don’t get because a lot of tech people are quite liberal. I would expect a softer heart to follow as well as concern for these (and all) people.
I enjoy cashless stores. A few bars in Seattle are card only and it’s a lot more efficient. I understand that there is potential impact to low income people who don’t have credit but isn’t it kind of up to the store owner to decide what they want to accept?
Yes I realize this calculator is now a universal windows app, I couldn’t edit cause noprocast locked me out after posting. Reguardless, building a calculator is still a great way to learn a new UI framework. I could see that this would have been a great resource for me as a new engineer (if building a universal windows app).
I worked on a win32 application for my first job out of college. My boss told me "want to learn win32 and c++, go program a windows calculator clone." It was a great project to get started and I did learn a lot. Now I have something to compare my work to ha
I’ve seen this happen even within the same (large) company. Someone is a director level who has maybe 100 reports. The entire product gets cut. The IC’a find other jobs within the company. There are only so many Director level positions around and many of them are achieved organically. The ex-director then goes somewhere else as a regular engineering manager unlikely to ever have such a position again.
