Snapchat made evil design design choices for child users.

* Content is deleted after frist view. No way to review content at a later time.

* Sharing of location foster surveillance among friends. Location can also leak to predators.

* Peeking on who your friends chat with is more surveillance.

And more stuff I dom't know about.

Great hack!

Fun and sad. Garbage collected languages like .NET, Java, and Go are slow compared DIY languages like C, Rust, and Swift. So, no wonder the Windows team dislike them. However, it seems the Windows team had to live with a React start menu for quite some time. How does that fit into the over all battle between the teams and UI frameworks?

Cool article. I wonder why they decided to start sentences with lower case? Free association!?

What an amazing storyteller. I will watch many more of her videos. I hope she will make many more videos ♥

For me the show was a trip down memory lane in more than one way. The tech is one. Doing startups with friends is another. Being a workaholic and having relationships is yet another. The penultimate episode hit me hard - am I the only one?

GPT auto gave me a long answer that included both walk and drive. Not good.

GPT thinking told me to drive and that walking would make no sense. Perfect answer.

Let's all install this and form a fail-safe (if you are in a populated area) and unregulated mesh. I would love to see how far into the Amazonas or Greenland it works.

Freeium mostly sucks. Escape before they squeeze every drop of blood out of you. There is a cost to everything that is how the reality get's in.

I don't know the bumble app, but it really annoys me that I cannot copy text in reddit and facebook (I am forced to use this app by my daughters hobby). If you dev a mobile app - make sure users can select and copy text!

This is a very interesting article. The concept "run an experiment in your head and predict the outcome" is a capability that AIs must have to attain some kind of general intelligence. Anyway, read the article, it's great.

After reading the article I might dust off my DSLR, however the fact that I have my iPhone with me most of the time will never change - so more than 99% of my photos/videos will be captured by that thing.

Cool. It would be great to extend with a confidence operator. Something like:

Without default confidence: 0~9

With confidence: 0%100~9%95

We are sure it is 0 or more and we are %95 certain it is 9 or less.

Would that work?

Thanks for posting and commenting. The choice of font is a great way to add aesthetics to text - designers so use this opportunity a lot more IMHO.

Old software is not replaced because nobody fully understands it, and therefore it is a gigantic effort and risk to reverse engineer it.
