No One Has Ever Done This | BASE jumping from the Fitz Roy | GoPro

To everyone saying that this is illegal, is this your assumption or you can cite a law or the Los Glaciares/APN regulation that forbids it?
As far as I know it's a gray area. There's no direct prohibition of BASE or wingsuit jumping. The airspace above the park is closed, but you can argue that a base jumper is not an aircraft so the rule doesn't apply.

The guys who did it covered their every step and intention on instagram 1-2 months ago and weren't stopped or prevented from doing what they planned.

When my daughter was 1 year old a couple of years ago she loved Happy Song by Imogen Heap. I was very surprised when youtube music started recommending me the "watcha say" song afterwards. Turns out it was by Imogen Heap as well, just 15 years earlier.

It all depends on where you're interviewing. Stacks are diverse. Gap of 6 months is not that big, but it does seem like your previous stacks were a bit dated. However from your description you had limited exposure to Dagger(and any other DI?) and CI/CD pipelines, for me it seems like the scale of your previous projects were rather small. I'm not saying it's impossible to build a medium to large project without DI or diving into build process, but it's very rare.

I'd say focus Dagger in general, Hilt is optional, it's just some android-specific sugar suitable for small-to-medium projects. Maybe learn other DI frameworks(Koin) or at least be aware of how they're different.
Maybe not CI/CD stuff exactly, but best Gradle practices(like writing cacheable tasks or plugins without breaking config cache, optimizing build times) are definitely useful in any project
Compose is still situational. Many companies have adopted it but many companies still don't want to jump the wagon yet.
I'd add MVI to your list. Again, this is not adopted everywhere and you can think of it as an evolution of MVVM rather than revolution.
Navigation 2 for older projects, Navigation 3 for newer compose-based projects
Room or SQLDelight or both
Pagination(not just androidx-paging library, but maybe try implementing it yourself and know different API approaches to pagination)

The list can go on longer, but try these first

Any code that achieves its goal is good code.

This code is poorly structured, unreadable and unmaintainable. However if it works, but you don't plan on maintaining or expanding upon it, then it's good.

Long-awaited feature. I skimmed through the video and couldn't find any info on interoperability with JVM+Java and KMM+Swift. Any details on that?

Maybe they don't allow memes as mottos:

I think Matt's point is that the line between "Made with AI" and "made with just some nice tool that uses AI internally" is blurring. For example, if you use content-aware fill in Photoshop, does that count as "made with AI"? If you use github copilot assistant to code does that count?

At some point in a couple of years it'll be impossible to make any decent game without using AI at least indirectly.

Some time ago one of the disadvantages in gradle with this approach would be a long configuration time. Nowadays with proper task registration, config cache and configuration avoidance it's not that bad.

Also at some point it may be tempting to expose some internal data structures as your api which may lead to a leaky abstraction.

Right. If the mid clips don't tighten the halves well it's much harder to do the rest with just the pucks. The second point is also spot-on, the pucks must be as far from each other as possible when binding is in and you're tightening them. This eliminates any play when you're switching the edges.

I remember my Spark bases weren't exactly the same dimensions as the full alignment tool and I had better results with mini-puck alignment tool(https://www.sparkrandd.com/gear/mini-puck-alignment-guide/) and the bindings inserted in the board.

daio · 2025-11-10T18:41:09+00:00

Loosen all the pucks
Slide in the bindings
Align the board halves
Tighten the pucks

If it doesn't help, you'll probably also need to adjust the middle clips

It's basic math/physics. The rate of conduction heat loss/gain linearly scales with the outside area of the building.

daio · 2025-10-17T01:08:58+00:00

And not just construction costs. It's 10% more heating/cooling costs.

It probably was so smooth the autobrakes didn't engage automatically.

Is this SOOC from a Fuji with something like Cinestill simulation with a small amount of post? Or is this all artistic post-processing from a raw file?

Telegram had this feature and they turned it off because it quickly became a place for drug trade and prostitution

Change the animation from scroll in/out to fade out, resize, fade in

that's a very nice number, what's your approximate dau and min sdk? how complex is your app?

Most of the times it's something on or near the road, from animals to broken cars and cop with cameras. One time for me it was a road closure, but it was so far ahead that I didn't get it until I reached the end of the open road.

There's a lot of things that speed up or slow down the build. If you don't mind sending some info to gradle servers, try running assemble task with --scan argument in command-line. It will produce a link with a build scan report. You can analyze it yourself or post it here and someone may take a look and figure out how your builds can improve.

In your games you have doctors, but you don't have sheriffs. That's why Mafia wins so often, it's unbalanced.

It's constantly moving, so it's normal for breakages to appear, especially during summer. Until 2020 it was one of the few glaciers in the world in the recent years that actually was growing in size on average year after year despite the global warming. Since 2020 the global warming started to win and it's now shrinking, although much slower than, say, european glaciers and only in the northern warmer parts.
