I removed the Cancer banners. But I will tell you that I have physically gone through 2.5 weeks off hell. Chemo is no joke and I am 50% there. It gets tougher each time and the symptoms hit you in the middle of the week. And I also am getting booster shots that force white blood cells out of my bone marrow and it has severe side effects and all they can offer is over the counter Claritin.
I've had days of fevers, dehydration, nausea, vomiting and still holding down a day job. So please don't be offended by my diagnosis or saying that stars and forks mean the world because it kind of does.
I don’t think the article is suggesting this at all. My takeaway from it (and my own view) is that we need to continue hiring, developing, and growing talent as we have in the past.
Today’s AI tools can generate working code, but it is often difficult to maintain -- especially as a codebase becomes large and complex.
Junior engineers working within a team, alongside senior engineers, with proper guidance and mentorship -- and while learning how to effectively use the current generation of AI tools -- are exactly what the industry needs to avoid a talent shortage in the not-too-distant future.
Logitech held out on moving some of their more niche products to USB-C until they were forced by the EU. I'm sure when the author _started_ their journey they had not released the Ergo S yet, looks like it came out September '24.
I also gave up on waiting for the Ergo S and grabbed a Kensington TB550. The name is awful, but the trackball is excellent.
I was thinking the same :) I have an MX Ergo from 2018, I'm not changing. The USB-C change isn't enough for me to change and I don't mind the click while WFH.
I do not enjoy being blunt, but the author seem to have borrowed a page from a “that” conferencing company’s marketing playbook by making very questionable claims.
It’s a nice project, but:
> Zipcall is built radically different. We left behind slow bulky servers, opting for decentralized peer to peer calling. We engineered a platform with maximum video quality and low latency.
Translation: it uses WebRTC or we didn’t invent anything — it uses technology built into your browser.
> State of the art VP9 video compression combined with our scaling optimization makes your calls crystal clear.
Same as above (assuming you’re browser supports VP9).
> Breakthrough peer to peer WebRTC technology means your video goes directly to the other person without a server. No middleman. No extra stops.
Same as above.
> End to end state of the art encryption means your calls are exactly that. Your calls.
I did just that early last year when I realized that they simply don’t have the infrastructure, support personnel or sense of urgency I needed from a broker to handle my money. This is pre-free trades — I decided that I rather pay a fee than roll the dice on when they’ll clear trades and bank transfers (in one instance an ACH took 2-weeks, with canned messages from support).
Rejecting Electron apps has nothing to do with Apple trying to kill web technologies. Just because Electron apps are developed using technologies meant for the web does not mean they are web apps. This would not be an issue if Electron itself did not use private API.
