iOS dev with a background in hardware (where I used Perl daily to parse millions of lines of test data). Funny, just used perl the other day to parse an iOS repo for deeplink path handlers. Love it.
Browsed through to see what the hype is. I think it needs more timestamps. "Updated at ...". Readers need to know how up to date the information is and if it's still trustworthy. I understand railway systems don't change much but it's still helpful to keep track of time and dates.
I was at a YC startup in the mid 2010s for around 4 years. The most funding we got was a series B round but nothing more after.
Near the end, I had a happy hour or dinner with one of the co-founders. He told me that if he had to choose again (giving up his engineering job vs. starting up the company), he doesn't know if he would choose the start-up route again.
Just some food for thought. It's great playing the CEO or the founder and betting on yourself but at the end of the day, the financial trade-offs could be life changing (especially given the salary/stock options provided by top tech companies).
I agree with Dewan's comments. It sucks for people who don't drink or who choose not to drink. I think the tech industry should be more aware of that when it comes to events, prizes, etc. However, sometimes in life you're given the short end of the straw. Like for ex. I am a short person but when I go to Europe, the urinals are quite tall for me. It's something that I have to live with because that's the way things are.
There will never be a drastic change in this culture. Majority of people don't want this change. We'll just need to be more mindful of others in the future.
I get what you mean, but you're basically complaining about UX. The guy was talking about radical minimalism. Not sure killing pagination is under the radical minimalism category...
Do you mind giving me an example of this in 2020? I do remember reading a lot about this in the last couple of years but it seems designers have been quickly to rectify it. Out of all the websites and apps I use commonly, I'm seeing less and less examples of this.
Don't want to light a fire here but I'd like to note that there is inherently something about Japanese culture (or Asian culture for that matter) that inhibits software development growth. Everything in Asia screams of respect for elders. In this case, the elders are the old design patterns and the older programming languages. It's the thought of why do something when it's not broken? As we move forward globally, we are all now realizing that it takes disruption to really create change. Something cultures in Asia are strongly against but are now slowly grasping. I believe this will all change within the next decade or so.
Just to add to this, I am Asian myself so I have experienced this and seen this first hand.
I think the whole point of these reviews are...how will the images look on Instagram not necessarily for pixel peepers.
I agree with you completely, that when it comes down to the full image, the results are usually grainy and pixelated. That's why I'm sticking with my Sony camera.
It's going to be and should be fixed or at least alleviated. They probably thought there would be some noise but not like this. Some model prediction most likely didn't encompass some environmental element.
Not sure why you're downvoted. I completely agree. I couldn't get past the first answer because of the italics. Why would someone do that. I'm sure it's an interesting Q&A, but I just can't read it.
I am actually not a founder of any sort. I just mean if I put myself in the shoes of a founder. But true story, I am working at a successful startup that started from a Wordpress blog with a bunch of remote workers from Prague.
Always two sides to the same story. As a software engineer, of course I think I should make the same regardless of I'm on-site or remote. As a founder, of course I'm not going to pay someone who works on-site vs. remote the same. It's a never ending debate.
Good ol ICQ. Back in the day when devs/general population thought identifying yourselves with a 10 digit number is easier than an email address...good ol days...
I think the path forward is clear (if there was enough supplies to go around): 1) Stay at home or 2) wear a face mask. If there was enough supply, I don't think we should argue with this. It's for everyone's safety. So let's ramp up supply and do either 1) or 2)
Are a lot of your friends the same people that think the shelter-in-place will end soon? Given the situation, even when the shelter-in-place ends (let's say May 1st). No way in hell am I going to go back eating in a crowded restaurant or going to crowded places. No, the recovery of this will take months and by that time, fall is ending and winter is here and the next round of flu/Coronavirus season is starting. I know this is a more pessimistic case but it just doesn't make sense to even think the economy will recover in a couple of months. There is going to be over 100,000+ deaths. You don't just recover within a quarter or two.
Risk vs. Reward. It's truly sad for those who can't work remotely and have to soon choose between risking their lives (or family members for that matter) vs. getting paid. Now that the stimulus is to be passed soon, I also wonder how many people would voluntarily quit and just file for unemployment. So many uncertainties ahead...
Like other people are saying, there's definitely ways around this. The only reason why Taiwan has been so successful in battling Coronavirus is that there is national pride in acting as a whole and doing what's best for society. There is huge shame to the family for people who defy. Taiwanese people generally know what helps society and when to listen. It is the cultural influence/mix of Chinese and Japanese governments which are deeply ingrained. Source, I am Taiwanese.
