This will probably affect sales of beefier Macs too. Why do you need a beefy machine when all compilation / intelligence is streamed from the cloud?
kanishkdudeja··on Google suspends some business with Huawei
Wouldn't be surprised if the Chinese government retalitates by blocking all iPhone sales in China.
kanishkdudeja··on Apple iPhone SE Available on Apple Store Again
The Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon / Dell XPS line should keep you happy.
kanishkdudeja··on Apple restores Google’s internal iOS apps after certificate misuse punishment
Just a ploy to distract away from the FaceTime bug. What was the point of revoking the certificate if they've restored it the next day?
kanishkdudeja··on Gut bacteria may offer a treatment for autism
There's no free will :)
kanishkdudeja··on iPad Pro
I hope iOS 13 will have mouse support for the iPad Pro.

Only being able to touch the screen while using the iPad Pro in laptop mode feels really limiting.

kanishkdudeja··on Ditching Windows: 2 Weeks with Ubuntu Linux on the Dell XPS 13
The only issue I face with Linux on my Dell XPS 13 is the sub-par touchpad experience.

If I use Ubuntu with XOrg, I don't have features like touch rejection while typing etc.

If I use Ubuntu with Wayland, my cursor is all over the place.

kanishkdudeja··on The iPhone SE was the best phone Apple ever made, and now it’s dead
Apple can no longer make a phone as good as the iPhone SE.

It feels like pure magic and I believe that magic died with Steve Jobs.

kanishkdudeja··on Apple Special Event [video]
If going higher is pointless, why does the iPhone XS has a PPI density of 458? They should have stayed at 326 in that case as well.

> The iPhone XR will offer an LCD screen with a resolution of 1,792 by 828. This would give it a resolution of around 324 pixels per inch, slightly below the iPhone 4’s 326 ppi.

This is sad.

kanishkdudeja··on How to Procrastinate Productively
Yes. Generally, excessive procrastination has been linked with ADHD.

This made my day. I'm so happy. Going to spend the week going over the draft proposals!
kanishkdudeja··on Dell XPS 13 Kabylake Makes for a Great Linux Laptop
I'm planning on purchasing an XPS 9570 soon as well :)
kanishkdudeja··on MacBook Pro with faster performance and new features for pros
Wow.
kanishkdudeja··on MacBook Pro with faster performance and new features for pros
Unless they release a video depicting how the new keyboard has improved, I see fewer people trusting Apple on this one.
kanishkdudeja··on Apple Engineers Its Own Downfall with the Macbook Pro Keyboard
Ubuntu 18.04 :)
kanishkdudeja··on Apple Engineers Its Own Downfall with the Macbook Pro Keyboard
The Dell XPS 13 has been a solid work machine for me.

Portable, powerful, comes with USB Type A and C ports, Thunderbolt 3 and comes with one of the best keyboards in laptops.

kanishkdudeja··on Google has started the global roll-out of its new Chat messaging service
Any link for the APK yet? Would love to try this out!
kanishkdudeja··on Google is about to launch a Gmail Web Redesign
Update: A Google spokesperson has provided the following statement (emphasis included): “We’re working on some major updates to Gmail (they’re still in <b>draft</b> phase). We need a bit more time to <b>compose</b> ourselves, so can’t share anything yet—<b>archive</b> this for now, and we’ll let you know when it’s time to hit <b>send</b>.”

kanishkdudeja··on Firefox Product Roadmap
For me, Firefox only takes more RAM/CPU when waking up from sleep. On a fresh reboot of Firefox, it always takes less CPU and RAM than Chrome.
kanishkdudeja··on Ask HN: Linux laptop on a budget?
XPS 13 9360. I use it and it works flawlessly.
kanishkdudeja··on Ask HN: How to improve my code review skills?
1 - Always try to think of corner cases while reviewing code - where it could throw exceptions etc.

2 - When finishing the code review, try to think holistically about what it's trying to do and whether it's doing it in the right way or not. Check the level of abstraction where the code is being added/removed and think whether it's right or not? Or whether it should be at some other level of abstraction?

3 - Any security concerns that might arise with the new code that's going in?

4 - Anything which involves a call to a network / filesystem can fail? Check if those cases have been handled properly.

5 - Are variable names, function names, class names descriptive and yet concise? Do they follow your company's coding standards?

6 - Try to think from a perspective of "single responsibility principle".

7 - For all the new flows, replay each flow in your head and try to see if it can be optimized or not? Can we make it faster? Will the code that has been added/removed degrade performance to an unacceptable degree?

8 - Always be on the lookout for logical bugs. Never assume that the coder will have done it right. Always be critical.

9 - Last, but not the least, take out proper time to do the code review and think deeply about the code that's going in.

kanishkdudeja··on Ask HN: Is it 'normal' to struggle so hard with work?
You should like typical ADHD to me. I had the same issues and now am doing great with major changes to my lifestyle!
kanishkdudeja··on Ask HN: Which stack do you use at your startup?
In my opinion, it's great for web app backends as well. The net/http library suffices.

Just that you might need a library for routing like https://github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter

kanishkdudeja··on Adderall Risks: Much More Than You Wanted to Know
I mentioned raw milk not in reference for "0 sugar". Just mentioned normally that I try and keep away from processed food, drugs, medications etc.
kanishkdudeja··on Adderall Risks: Much More Than You Wanted to Know
I take fruits which have no/negligible sugar like Amla, Lemos, Avocados. Once in a while, I do take supplements. But on the whole, I try to live a more natural life, with as less drugs/medicines as possible.

Even for milk, I drink raw milk and not processed milk.

kanishkdudeja··on Adderall Risks: Much More Than You Wanted to Know
I felt extremely sad on taking Adderall and other similar stimulant medications like Ritalin.

Maybe the sadness effect would have gotten less with continuing the medicine, but overall, I didn't feel like taking drugs since they cause a lot of other side effects like insomnia.

Now I've been able to control my ADHD successfully. Atleast upto the point that it has stopped affecting my life and career so much.

a) 0 sugar in diet. Not even fruits. b) Try to sleep for atleast 8-9 hours a day. c) Drink lots of water throughout the day d) Exercise and no junk food. e) Have got an accountable job. Leading a software team so I know that procrastination will hurt me in the long run, so forced to do stuff on time.

Thanks for replying. Don't you also feel like saving the whole web page as well, in case the link gets broken in future?
