dovdovdov··on An employer asked me to do a HackerRank test. Here's my alternative proposal.
yep, it was, and yes it's a mix. :)

My comments are mostly sarcastic and polarized, so don't bother that much. Companies are missing out on a ton of creative talent, but they have to play safe and keep their recruitment costs low. I only understand that from a business point of view. Every other perspective suffers.

dovdovdov··on There may not be an iPhone SE 2 after all
I would be more curious about future (Apple) processors, now that those exploits have surfaced. I wouldn't be surprised if those CPUs were already developed, for the time once these design faults surface publicly, though.

I also wonder if it's necessary to have a system fix (or the safari javascript fix is sufficient) on iOS for current devices, since only checked/signed code can run from the app store, and even if there's a future jailbreak it'll compromise the system a more convenient way.

dovdovdov··on Self-Crashing Cars
Let's get rid of gas stations, for starters!

Btw, the truck attack in the German market would've been a much larger scale if the truck's safety mechanism didn't trigger the emergency break.

Regardless, that Jeep hack sure proved a clusterf*ck of system design, and should be a cautionary tale.

dovdovdov··on There have been 11 US school shootings this year. Is it time to arm teachers?
Yep, anything but gun control!! /s
dovdovdov··on MacBook Pro? No
Hah, this is actually really true.

My Xcode using half is constantly angry with Apple, but my Logic Pro using half is still in love. :)

dovdovdov··on MacBook Pro? No
Apple clearly aimed the new macbook pros at creative professionals (and wannabe end-consumers), hence the touchbar and the enormous trackpad. They got rid of the glowing logo to make the screen thinner.

Anyways, Apple could afford to offer the dopest machine for software developers, without all the shenanigans, but with all the usability and performance.

dovdovdov··on South Korea justice ministry prepares to ban cryptocurrency trading
Wow, high denial in the crypto world. Textbook reaction of investors who refuse to face the real world.
dovdovdov··on Bitcoin has little shot at ever being a major global currency
yea, they have to mine it...
dovdovdov··on South Korea justice ministry prepares to ban cryptocurrency trading
When you were talking did you hear a constant smashing sound of a sell button or screams in the background?

Anyways, people who invested in a single bitcoin yesterday only lost $1000 overnight.

dovdovdov··on France to ban mobile phones in primary, junior and middle schools
Today teachers can get suspended if they even set an angry look on the pupils. I guess they hope people will abide the law at least.

dovdovdov··on Fool Britannia: the future of the UK has never looked so grim
I meant somewhat mainstream media. Sure there is a random source in any topic, with pro and counterarguments.
dovdovdov··on Fool Britannia: the future of the UK has never looked so grim
I wonder why every single article is just about what a clusterf*ck Brexit is, and not about who might be behind it and who are the actual benefiters of it.
dovdovdov··on Drone Maker D.J.I. May Be Sending Data to China, U.S. Officials Say
Data rates might be higher to the US. ;)
dovdovdov··on iOS 11 Horror Story: The Rise and Fall of iOS Security
You mean the people who haven't synced to iCloud or a computer?

If you carry your fortune in your wallet is it okay to blame the wallet manufacturer for your financial crisis when you misplace it?

You are right though, those people are the loudest to complain. :)

dovdovdov··on Bootstrapping My Side Project to $6k/Month
still an ad, and such a transparent lousy technique.

dovdovdov··on Developing iOS 11 Apps with Swift
Yea, silly move, from other aspects also.

Hence, you can detach from the update train with this version:

dovdovdov··on Face ID beaten by mask
Or at least the lock on top of the screen could do the unlock animation when they use the mask. ;)
dovdovdov··on Ford Pilots New Exoskeleton to Help Lessen Chance of Worker Fatigue, Injury
I meant a 'client side' ignore feature. :)

Service side content filtering only creates bubbles.

There is no good solution from a service's side, paid community, closed community, they all bring their side effects.

Even these voting systems will only surface the popular opinion and not necessarily the right opinion.

Best you can do is to ignore content and comments which are irrelevant to you, that way quality always meet your standards.

They are losing less money though...in practice. ;)
dovdovdov··on Drop test concludes iPhone X is 'the most breakable iPhone'
We're talking about the LG, right? :)
dovdovdov··on TransferWise announces $280M investment
It's clearly a service mostly depending on eastern (central) european migrants working in the UK.

I wonder if brexit doesn't fall through what will it do to their single leg business.

And even if brexit fails, these people will become less and less dependent of their home country. (moving close family to the uk, paying off mortgages)

So yeah, my point is these untapped areas can dry off quick. (I'm talking a decade maybe)

Or there are stupid investors who don't want to invest into this no-brainer goldmine. :)

dovdovdov··on Daydreaming means you’re smart and creative
"It also enables you to switch to "autopilot" for routine tasks like driving"

Stay smart, and don't do that!
