This is a great way to sour many customers for all products automatic owns. I don’t buy the “it must be a bug story.” They just flipped the switch and only deal with the squeaky wheels for people that complain.
Did I expect free updates and features forever. No, Only the bare minimum to keep it running.
Hell, if it was owned by a small company or an individual I wouldn’t mind donating to keep it maintained once in a while. I don’t feel the need for a subscription for a podcast app. The fanciest feature I’ve used in the past 10 years is the sleep after 15 min options.
Saddest is that they are advertising their own apps. Good to know which one to avoid.
This is the first video I’ve seen by him. I’m by no means a fan of clean code. But I think he’s making a fool of himself here. Picking out 1 code example from the book doesn’t proof that much on its own. This stuff is so language, os, hardware and compiler specific anyway.
The iPhone comparisons are extremely cringe. Real application do so much more then this contrived example. Something that feels fast isn’t the same thing as something is fast.
Would I advise beginner programmer’s to read this book? Sure, let them think about ways to structure code.
If he just had concluded with, that it is important to optimize for the right thing that would be fine. But he seems more interested in picking a fight with clean code.
I've been meditating for about 3 months now. Mostly focussing on building the habit part of it.
I could definitely recommend 10% happier book, It's a fun read, and a kind introduction to meditation. I had an easier time connecting with that author then all the other writers that have all have been meditating for 20+ years with countless 10/30 day retreats.
This week I finished Waking up from sam harris. Have been listening to his podcast for ages. If you are interested in meditation, from a non-religion perspective I would definitely recommend it. I'm still having a tough time understanding what all this no-self and no-ego is about. That will just take some time I guess.
For me personally I've been mixing meditation and stoisism a bit to find some peace and acceptance for my very critical self image. But it's hard to find good stoic teaching, most of it just seems written by sleazy marketeers.
Last thing I would recommend for anyone interested in meditation, starting with tools like headspace a good way to get into the habit. But to be honest, I'm having a hard time still getting value out of their teachings. I went from
headspace > just settings a timer with the Oak app for 20-30 min > back to headspace.
I feel if made less progress then the simple timer. of course I'm not 100% sure if it the headspace app, or me just simply plateauing but my I think I'm going to go back to a simple timer. The headspace app is just so damn noisy.
