'Engineer' is also a legally protected title in Canada, so 'developer' is the common term.

This is not really an 'email service' the average person can be expected to use..

Employees should not be able to sell their stock if their company decides to do layoffs? What is the rationale?

Agree. I use both windows and mac daily, and I don't think Mac is much better in terms of annoyances and bugs.

Failing with GCP? GCP has had accelerating growth the past few years, larger than the other two, and widening profit. I've used all three major clouds and overall I would choose GCP, particularly these days for their data/AI stack

Yea, and the scale of impact on the economy of those micro seconds is probably huge

I think a simpler explanation the some of the others is.. why care? Phones these days, even cheaper ones, have oodles of GB available. They're not losing customers from the size. And I don't think making it smaller is going to draw in new gmail/workspace customers. So why spend time on it when there are tons of new features or active bugs that could be fixed instead?

Because it shows some thoughtfulness. 'I know you like x so here's money to spend on that'. Cash looks like you didn't bother.

learnxinyminutes.com is a good resource that tries to cover the key syntax/paradigms for each language, I find it a helpful starting point to skim.

I've been in ride shares where the driver has crossed a curb road divider or squeezed through tiny gaps in front of trucks. Going too slow sounds like a better 'bad' experience to me.

I'm not able to reproduce something like this. What prompt were you using? Asking it for today's top news gets it to use Google search and provide valid links.

You would go back to an old vulnerability infested OS that nobody builds for anymore instead of dealing with a UI change every few years? I have elderly parents on windows 11 and they've been fine, as long as the browser works, outlook loads, and they can scan and print (and tbh a Chromebook may be even better for non techy folks)

What issues do you face on windows? I use both Mac and windows daily and I can't say I entirely prefer one over the other, and in recent years I've run into more noticeable bugs on macOS (although it does look better)

Please share an example. Your 'almost completely useless' claim runs counter to any model benchmark you could choose.

> Ugh, google

In my experience most authenticators cloud sync automatically, at least on iOS. For most people, this is a benefit. Otherwise, lose your phone and you're stuck, I doubt most people secure recovery codes properly either.

What was the process for getting your account back?

I think it depends what kind of system and attack we're talking about. For corporate environments this approach absolutely makes sense. But say in a user's personal pc where the LLM can act as them, they have permission to do many things they shouldn't - send passwords to attackers, send money to attackers, rm -rf etc

Yes, in addition to the fact that big tech pays equity, and more senior people probably end up on green cards, so it skews junior.
