Yeah, A static analyzer should be able to figure out what's going on and throw an error.
comment
I don't think there is. I think the code is functioning as expected — it's just written in a super confusing way. What should probably happen is that the compiler should throw an error abo…

If I saw this in a code review, I would flag it for re-design. Mixing composition and inheritance especially in this way is definitely going to confuse anyone who doesn't read every line to figu…

> It appears the correct action would have been to use <code>override func greet() { print("sup") }</code>. That actually doesn't work because the greet function is …

I have some friends that are invested in Tron and I can't stop trolling them whenever it doesn't make a list. That being said, Coinbase is not even a top 5 global exchange. All Tron needs …

Is this working? I just tried it and it generates a commit hash that leads to a 404 page[1]. I haven't looked into what the code is doing, but for it to claim that it stole my identity is ver…

Yeah this didn't work for me either. Do you have 2FA enabled?

Exactly Image Macro != Meme
But I think we lost this battle.

Marketing probably correct if you asked that question about the current set of incumbents that were out. Blackberry, Palm, and the rest of the phones with keyboards were not worth $600. I think Mark…

The thing I'm wondering about with the seniority of the dev team and what the code commit and code review process is. It seems like with a senior dev reviewing commits, someone would have caught…

I worked at Amazon in FiDi for almost 2 years and we never had free lunch. It was all part of the "Frugality" core value but I never felt like it was that bad. My current job has lunch ons…

Uncle Rich! I found Rich's YouTube channel[1] about a year ago when I got my Model X and it's been funny and educational. It definitely sheds a lot of light on how new Tesla is at making ca…

The end is nigh Intel. Just like Apple switched to Intel Power PC’s were not upgrading, so will Apple switch to ARM.

100% agree.
comment
Yeah. I guess my point is that they are trying to get web/mobile engineers, but the data from AirBnB shows that the opposite of this post is what actually attracts mobile engineers.
comment
I would also recommend this. I've been using it for a while and it's amazing. Tightly integrated into version control, great team/project/task management, code review tools, grea…

You can accomplish most of that with Phabricator[1], except for the forecasting efforts. As for the forecasting; I worked at Amazon which had a dedicated JIRA engineer and that was the best I've…

What is the problem you're trying to solve?
comment
This post is interesting because at the bottom, Discord is soliciting for engineers. Gabriel Peal from AirBnB came and gave a talk at our company a few weeks ago and he shared at after AirBnB publish…

I've never really gotten into any of Atlasssian's products. It seems like they make tools for managers with bolt on functionality for engineers (which may be why I never caught onto their p…
comment
AH! Another very good point — I didn't think about that either.
comment
You're the MVP for digging through that package list :). Thanks for the answer, I guess that I was thinking about the other three companies social media platforms and not necessarily the data yo…

What data does Microsoft have that one would want to "transfer"?
comment
This reminded me of a time back in the early 2000's when I tried to skin Windows to look like a OSX. I downloaded tons of stuff (themes, plugins, etc...) to modify Windows to give it that Aqua l…
comment
Yeah, I think that was an early sign of what was coming. The symptom then, is the same symptom now.
comment
It's imposed on every commercial user of their API which is why a lot of companies are also leaving Google Maps. I talked about this in another post, but Apple[1], Tesla[2], and Uber[3] are all …
comment
One of the interesting trends I've been seeing are the amount of companies that are rebuilding there maps from the ground up. While Google currently provides the best data set, there is a resurg…

I would definitely love to use this after you've made updates to the ACL. Could you please post a follow up when you've accomplished that.
