Had to do the same with halo infinite at my friends house, tried to use some burner emails and it kept banning our 2nd player within a few minutes. Gotta love the digital future.

This comments spot on. Coming from a guy that used to do mobile professionally as a one man show where the company had multiple apps and multiple stacks. I had the least pain from the ionic stack which I guess is a happy middle ground, but even then there's always some new app store requirement changes to adhere that's almost a full-time job in itself.

I thought the door frame thing was actually not a good idea? The mantra nowadays is drop, cover and hold on. Which might actually put you in a more precarious situation during said quake.

Reading this on the toilet now wondering what my priorities would be if there was a quake in the next couple minutes.

If youre on Android you can use newpipe, and just see all your subscriptions together sorted by time uploaded. You can still have it autoplay their default algorithms which seems to work just as good as a personalized one.

Anecdotally, I have not found much correlation between age and management style. I have had bad managers of all ages!

I have had one good manager though, and it's pretty obvious what made them great. First is they listen to what problems you have and actually help you do your best work. Secondly, they protect you from the other bad leaders at the company. Thirdly, they work too hard.

The question is really more do they actually act on the feedback on a regular basis?

The cynic in me believes managers actually don't want good metrics because then they have evidence of their bad leadership.

I have been able to pick up a handleful of useful domains like firstnamelastname.net without much effort and my total spend every year on domains is probably less than 50$. Maybe a dotcom is hard to come by but other TLD are not so bad. Your milage will totally vary, but I would say things are not totally broken, you can find decent domains at good prices if you're a l bit flexible or patient.

Small "bug". Shows "application error" if you submit empty dates. Nice app though.

If you are subject to more corporate performance review shenanigans it feels like anything less than 10x performance is insufficient to upper management. Maybe you will even be subject to something as unhinged as being told not to rate all of your self assessment too highly because it's "not possible" to be high performer in all the meaningless "company values" they put into their performance rubric. perhaps you will even be given the example of "working overtime" as a good example of something to put in your self assessment.

There is 100$ a year fee for a developer account as well. A bit steep for a hobbyist dipping their toes.

I suppose the difference being gamers seem to hate everything large game companies do, but tech community is pretty split down the middle on Apple being beyond reproach vs them being evil incarnate.

A heavily nested widget can be a little sore on the eyes. You can break up heavily nested widgets into multiple widgets though.

This is also common to JSX though so not sure what the "abominable" comment is referring to.
