@satnam6502 So google doesn't google candidates before interviewing?

12 years I was on the verge of failing my second attempt at interviewing at Google. I was summoned to the New York office of the potential hiring Director who said "Satnam, your interview feedback is all over the map, we can't make sense of who you are, can you even code?" I reached over to that month's edition of Communications of the ACM on his desk which had in it an article by me and pointed to all the C++ and C# code listings and said "I wrote all of that code." He looked at me, looked at the code, looked back at me and said "OK, I'll sort it". Thanks to @fergushenderson for the office tour, and to Stephen Edwards at Columbia for looking after my kids while I interviewed. dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.114…

@levelsio still hate cubicles though, feels like been trapped in a low budget office drama. WFH or whatever you want if you need to focus, for big planning meetings and socialize (once in a while / no mandatory) open space is good fit inmho

And we have reached the end of the cycle where 1995 cubicles are becoming cool again Took 28 years I am convinced trends somehow happen in 7 year periods 1995-2002 cubicles good 2009-2016 cubicles bad -> open offices good 2016-2023 open offices annoying 2023-2030 open offices bad -> cubicles good again

@DamianCatanzaro Los tengo desde las version 2, actualmente fold4. No son fragiles realmente aguantan mucho, igual podes tener mala suerto como cualquier telefono caiga en una posicion rara aunque no me paso, la garantia suele ser muy buena

Soy fiel usuario de iPhone hace muchos años pero me llama la atención un poco los Fold (celulares plegables). Hay que ver con que sale Samsung en la Unpacked. Igual no gastaría la guita que salen para probar uno porque se que voy a terminar volviendo a iOS.

@bobziroll if performance ain't good, blame the backend. It's usually the righ thing to do

Re-renders in React: When I was first learning React, I assumed reducing the number of unnecessary re-renders (and, tangentially, any re-creation of functions) was really important. I remember teaching students to avoid any inline arrow functions in the `render` method...

@HadleeSimons @IndiaToday and consumers walk around saying they want a stripe of white leds at the back of the phone ?

Carl Pei on foldables, courtesy of @IndiaToday. Can't sell what you don't have, right? This is also such a weird take. Because people might not wish for a foldable phone but they do wish for a large screen or a small phone, albeit without the drawbacks of each.

@Daniel_Rubino It also may scale better with a wider screen since it should responsive

Just saying ... Progressive Web App FTW. If you use x.com as a website and install it as a PWA, the rate limit doesn't seem to apply. Combine with Control Panel for Twitter + BlueLiteBlocker, and it's all fine. windowscentral.com/tweak-new-twit…

@TheJackForge Same as "center a div

@LanceGDouglas @adamlyttleapps @Amplitude_HQ An edtech app will be productivity ?

@adamlyttleapps I borrowed them from @Amplitude_HQ, though I have expanded on their definitions in practice. amplitude.com/blog/customer-…

Most startup advice doesn’t apply to consumer apps… Tell me again what *problem* “Angry Birds” is *solving* 😂

@blackmirror @billythebutcher What about blackmirror season 6 is awful poster?

Joan Is Awful (2023)

Who remember this game ?

@VRNOID I can probably help :)

I Need someone to test my game on Meta Quest 2, who wants to #help a #VR game dev and get a #free game key? #virtualreality #metaquest2

@purplemikey At the office, got a big enough space which I don't have at home

What room are you usually playing VR in? Is it a gaming room, living room, ...?

@jmdagdelen @fdotinc ✋️

Here's a teaser of the spatial prod. app we're developing at @fdotinc 🫡 This is me in the app, coding in VSCode and chatting in Discord. * Runs locally (no laptop required!) * Infinite screens anywhere * Ready to use today on Meta Quest Reply for early access!

@purplemikey @Lunayian @Jason_Rubin Maybe not coffe but a shot of tekila since glass is small enough

@Lunayian @Jason_Rubin On every photo I see I can't stop trying to think if I can finally drink coffee in a coffee cup while wearing the headset. Seems like it will never work 😭

Minor, but since I keep seeing people claim that the headstrap isn't removable due to the new I/O port locations, I will point out that @Jason_Rubin is using a Quest 3 with an Elite Strap in his Twitter profile picture :D

@brendanluu @AIDailyGuy Awesome eager to try

@pablofrias @AIDailyGuy Yea, local multiplayer

I just turned my apt into a nerf gun videogame. Crazy that this is possible with just a VR headset

@brendanluu @AIDailyGuy can be play in multiplayer ?

@AIDailyGuy For sure. The game is called Spatial Ops, currently on Sidequest for quest 2 + quest pro

@maxpowertuc So chat gtp wrote this tweet ?

We need to address the data reliability issue. We are building a society that blindly takes directions from google maps, asks chatGPT for every aspect of their lives, is unable to distinguish real from fake images, and trusts idiots talking idiotic things on Twitter.

@MKBHD Don't worry, it's a Mario Kart special move you have to unlock firts

You're telling me this is just a thing that can happen to you on the road out of nowhere? 🫠

@aeropuertotuc @SebaGiobellina @OsvaldoJaldo @JuanManzurOK @LaGacetaTucuman El aire adentro no da abasto, hay moscas, pasas a sala de embarque y no hay nada adentro, a pesar de que sale 1 avión por vez 99% del tiempo no hay manga montada

Esta foto es uno de los símbolos del fracaso del gobierno de Tucumán. Un aeropuerto completamente descuidado, desactualizado, incoherente (foto), feo y chico. 23 años seguidos del PJ en el poder y no hicieron nada. @SebaGiobellina @OsvaldoJaldo @JuanManzurOK @LaGacetaTucuman

@ToysARs @nathie I think regular gamming is a pretty niche category itself. We got a console at the office and only some harcore gammers are playing regularly, but with VR even old business suit people put on the glasses and play pingpong. Tech just need to improve a bit

@nathie VR is a niche product, it will never be the future of gaming.

I just experienced the future of gaming on PlayStation VR2. This thing is wild!
