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.

Recently got a 14" mbp m2 Pro for work. So far 3 months in, I "think" it is the perfect work/personal laptop (excluding gaming).

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).

Came here for dmail, a gmail competitor. Semi disappointed but still liking this security feature though.

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.

Remember the days when AMD was like $3/share and Intel was like crushing it. The world really has changed in the last decade.

Not too interested in any of these mods but will give Rockbox and FreshOS a look. Thanks for posting this.

Fwiw, can anyone answer is it difficult to revert Rockbox back to original OS?

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.
