As a native Portuguese speaker I found it very useful when I started to learn English. And even nowadays having some form of “visual map” between English and Portuguese at least for more erudite words - which tend to be the ones that are shared between more languages - helps me write English better.

The similarities between English and German also ended up helping me learn German.

Going by how ortography changes have gone in other languages, I doubt it.

Besides English, if English fix its ortography it’s going to become much harder to learn for speakers of other European languages - as confusing the pronunciation rules and exceptions are, they are caused by writing things similarly to other European languages while mangling the original pronunciation.

The worst is the exactly wrong amount of smart. Dumb people usually have a limit to the damage they can do.

I use it as my own personal “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish”, and follow up by explaining I’m strongly motivated to find the simplest and most reliable solution for any task.

If the rest of the CV was ok, I would fill that cover letter as a positive in culture fit.

But then again, I always say that being lazy is my greatest strength when they ask me in the interview.

They published some interesting mobile ones. And then figure out the crappy slop based on their TV shows actually does better, so they are going all-in on that.

Vim and VS Code are both text editors that can become IDEs with plugins. You can use vim with language servers if you want, as there are plugins for it.

They can’t close the kernel. They already distribute Android with proprietary software - for example Google Play services and DRM services.

Just don’t release the game in the US and Japan.

With all the horror stories I heard about issues with leaking pipes or faulty electrical circuits requiring ceilings and walls to be torn down, the real question is why we don’t do all the ceilings and walls like that.

It’s almost like LLMs aren’t capable of understanding or something. /s

And analytics. And offloading as much computation to the client, because servers are expensive and inefficiency is not an issue if your users are the ones paying for it.

Just wait until the vibe coder overwrites 3 months of “work” with garbage because ChatGPT never told them about git and then decided to poop the pants.

Antennapod and not depending on the whims of whatever a CEO feels like today.

I did and I don’t use subdomains for mobile. Have you tried being good at it?

The game is Caravan Stories, and it’s only mentioned in the 3rd paragraph, with the rest of the article being SEO bait. I hope any reporter writing articles like this steps on a Lego with a foot, trips, and steps on a British power plug with the other the foot at least once a week.

Please do. I want to train an AI on Disney movies. (Dear Disney lawyers please take the bait)

Being and remaining alive is almost by definition a battle against time.

Sure if you ignore that keeping track of time predates capitalism by several millennia, and that the unrelenting march of entropy doesn’t care about what we think regarding the economy.

All of the above and more? There’s always the risk of something falling through the cracks, so the more layers of security measures you add/can afford the better.
