The Super App Wave Is Here (and Malaysia Is Riding It)
Sort of a taste receptor I’m sure many have developed now.
The most obvious patterns here are: antithesis constructions, words choices and distribution, attempt at profundity in every paragraph but instead are runs of text that doing say anything, and even the perfect use of compound hyphenation. I think and can appreciate that there is definitely an attempt at personalization and guidance to make it less LLM-y and not just a default prompt, but it’s still kind of obvious. You could use a detector tool too of course.
There's a certain irony in that the article itself is quite clearly assisted by AI. Not a criticism per se as I don't have a problem with AI assistance, but food for thought given the material being commented on.
For a useful introduction to network layers, Radia Perlman explains the actual layers and how to think about them pragmatically: https://youtu.be/qXz_RxBFQ20?t=496
If you want a great introduction to, and appreciation of, SoCs — given the announcements yesterday and to understand what goes into something like the M1 a little better.
This is admittedly rather region specific since we are located in Malaysia. Though the same applies in Singapore too.
For people who don’t or can’t scan a code (which is just a webpage URL), the is typically a piece of paper and pen that they can use to record their check-in if they so choose.
Half of the pair here. For context, I always run out of steam when getting on the blogging wagon, so my wake is littered with the charred remains of blogs of old.
Snappymob | Full Stack Developer | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia | Full-time, Onsite | https://www.snappymob.com
Hi, I'm Allen. Snappymob is looking for junior or experienced full-stack developers with a subset of the following skills: NodeJS, React, Go, Postgres, MySQL, API best practices. You'll work in a tight knit team that learns and grows together, all the time. You should be eager to learn and not be afraid of working on any part of an application stack.
This position is on-site in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Benefits: above market compensation, flexible hours and holidays, free food and snacks, health benefits, travel allowance, and the latest gadgets. Unabashedly, we have a design & engineering focused culture that is less common in this part of the world - it makes for a great place to be if you want to work with a competent team that is passionate through and through.
Snappymob is a mobile and web software consulting agency in KL that works on high-end client projects as well as some products of our own. We build products with great design and solid engineering practices.
Stop. Hacking. My. Mac. Make every shit feature like this explicitly opt in. FFS any decent Product Manager would know this is a ridiculous way of integration (mysterious and with no obvious control). I'm about ready to move my business somewhere else.
Office Integrations: Worthless for a huge swath of users who don't have Office. Also undesirable for a large group of users who have Office but have no use for the integration.
Other Integrations: Too vague to justify what is potentially a large security threat. You've really got to do better than that.
What's preventing Apple from reverting things on the backend to 'undo' the password change and allow the next authentication and backup attempt by the phone to work? Apart from unless the phone has been restarted in which case the FS is still encrypted so the backup wouldn't yet be possible until at least after the first unlock.
> A lot of you now are thinking about making custom struct with named fields, than and passing typed result as this struct. This is good solution and there are a lot of cases when this will be actually better, but … this is not so simple. But what if you know that this temporary structure is rather limited in size and will be used just ‘here’ to pass results...
I'd still use a custom struct with named fields. I don't see the above being anywhere close to justifying the additional complexity.
