Yeah, more than 4600 employees seems wild for Pinterest. Reddit seems to have about 2200 which still seems a lot but is less than half. I wonder how many of those are programmers and how many are infra, marketing, management, legal etc.

The 15% included contractors. Many of the Mobile developers were South American contractors.

You’re still okay with wasting 6% CPU and 1% gpu time on a simple note taking app?

Is this from the Secret Tape crew (NoClip)? The 25th Half-life 1 documentary was done by them.

The iOS 17 swipe keyboard is the worst it’s ever been. I have to constantly go back and edit my discord messages.

Pretty cool. [+NSArray alloc] isn't auto-released so it needs to be released but it doesn't need to be retained.

calypso · 2 years ago

I knew someone would catch that. I caught that after looking back at the tweet.

It’s definitely been a hot minute since working without ARC.

I have so many CP/M programs my grandfather wrote in my garage. Never got to see them run but it’s cool to see people are still messing around with the OS in some capacity.

Shop app (made by shopify) has had cross shopify search for a few months in beta. I recommend trying it out! I worked on the infrastructure for this.

calypso · 4 years ago

I worked on the shop app too (backend and iOS app). Small world.

I’ve moved on from shopify but still use the app.

Your setup sounds better. Have you noticed any problems?

calypso · 4 years ago

I haven’t noticed any problems for the use case I’m using it for.

I’m giving it 8GB of ram and 6 cores/12 threads. VM is running on pcie ssd. Speed is good.

No gpu is in my server so it’s using a basic VNC connection. If you add a gpu and pass it through the desktop experience would be much better. However I only needed to do this to do initial setup.

The cool thing about my setup is that it uses a docker container called macinabox which handles the initial Vm configuration and macOS installation, estuary automating the “hackintosh” process.
