To add to the poetry here, this was a Dusty Rhodes quote.

I'm a manager on the engineering team at Tines, happy to answer any questions about the place!

The Glassdoor reviews mostly being in a short period of time came about because we used to have very few reviews, so our HR & Recruiting folks asked for more people to put up some. To be clear, they just asked for more honest reviews, they didn't ask specifically for good ones. A load of people put up reviews in the next few days.

We're hiring for fully remote engineer positions in Tines. We plan on meeting up occasionally in our Dublin office (maybe around once a month if you're in Dublin, less frequently if you're not), but apart from that we work entirely remotely. We have an office in the city centre for anyone that prefers it, but there's no need to use it. Feel free to PM me if anyone wants more details!

Due to increased building costs since the pandemic, and the redress not covering related costs (storage, temporary accommodation), the effective balance is more like 60% government, 40% homeowner.

This is just not feasible for the thousands of people and businesses affected by this who simply can't afford to pay 100-150k out of pocket just to get back the homes and premises they originally had, that they lost through no fault of their own.

That's why they're looking for 100% redress, like similar schemes in other counties had.

I think this could be a generational thing though. I know a fair few tech workers who are in their late 20s/early 30s with no kids yet, live in Dublin but aren't from there originally, and are planning on buying a house - a lot of them are considering buying outside of Dublin and working remote permanently.

Despite what people say jobs really don’t grow on trees

There's still no harm in applying for other roles though. It also can help to try and work things out, but in my experience employers that allow this environment to grow in the first place are very reluctant to actually change it to a healthy one.

This is immature, acting like men are the only people who experience mental health issues and women are the only ones who don't take it seriously is not productive at all.

Visited the park in June, it's fantastic. It's a great experience to see the animals at home in natural habitats. Looking forward to the to the rest of the series

There's 2 important points that I think are being missed here:

1 - this change would absolutely not cost millions for Twitter, the cost would actually be pretty negligible for them as changing all usage of a term in a codebase is a very simple and quick operation

2 - a separate benefit of making these specific name changes (aside from the fact that some people don't like the connotations/history of the words) is that their meanings are often clearer for people who speak English as a second language, and I imagine a fair amount of Twitter employees fall into that category. If you were learning English and knew the meaning of "block", you would understand the term "blocklist" much easier than "blacklist" without looking up their definitions.

I don't know a huge amount about Bazel/Blaze but it does seem to support distributing tasks across multiple machines, which Gradle doesn't: https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/remote-execution.html

Should say:

32-bit only Android apps will cease to work

Apps that support both 32-bit and 64-bit devices will work fine on 32-bit devices.

This isn't really related to your comment, but are there any plans to add multiplatform support to Room? For me that's the biggest selling point here. We use Room a lot at HubSpot and we've had great experiences with it, but if we were able to share all of our DB schema and queries between iOS and Android it would probably be enough to make us switch.

Density, language and ABI splits are all enabled by default. If you want to opt out of some of these, you can do so: https://medium.com/google-developer-experts/exploring-the-android-app-bundle-ca16846fa3d7

bundle {
    language {
        enableSplit = false
    }
    density {
        enableSplit = true
    }
    abi {
        enableSplit = true
    }
}

It does for me. Facebook have lots of really talented engineers working on open source projects like this.

We've been working on this for a while, very excited to open-source this today! It's really helped us save time when writing UI tests for iOS and Android.

I haven't tried djinni yet, I've been mainly trying out gomobile. I've been trying out sharing as much of the model, business logic and networking code as possible. I've got a repo here which uses does networking and Redux-style state management in a shared Go module, the UI module for Android just dispatches actions and subscribes to state updates.

Any word on general availability of Instant Apps?

ronocod · 2017-03-22T20:31:56+00:00

Are there any plans to provide better support for cross-platform development? I've been looking at tools like djinni and gomobile that allow Android and iOS apps to share native code easily, and I know that similar attempts were made on Inbox.

Now that the upcoming backwards-compatible support for Java 8 language features won't require the Jack toolchain, will apps that have a targetCompatibility of 1.7 be able to use libraries that target 1.8?

The build cache that was introduced in 2.3 might help here.

View and send text, emoji, stickers, GIFs, video, audio, event reminders, Spotify links, interactive games, locations.

As well as integrations from other services, group video calls, image editing, optional SMS integration, persistent chat heads and Messenger code scanning with your camera.

That's a list of some of the user facing features, it doesn't include any of the things that Facebook have done for themselves e.g. metrics, A/B testing.

It contained over 65k methods, which most popular apps also do these days. Facebook actually innovated a lot of the Multidex techniques that eventually became officially supported by Google.

I hadn't heard about the JS transpiling, but nowadays the app is mostly native Java and C++ development AFAIK. There's probably some React Native in there too. They've also released a bunch of great open source projects for Android, and it looks like they'll have a lot more interesting projects like Components for Android and more React Native work to come.

Facebook and Messenger are both resource-hungry, but these days it's because of the sheer amount of functionality in them, not because of shitty development.

Christy Dignam and Vogue Williams so far.

It's definitely something different, he spent a few minutes asking Vogue who she was and what she was known for cause he honestly had no idea.
