Seriously, coming from Visual Studio VSCode is a breeze of fresh performant air. Anecdotally I was able to create the cursor problem by minimizing/showing the VSCode window while viewing CPU usage DESC in task manager, but the effect w

That's funny; once I gave it to a local grocer and watched the cashier's eyes grow in astonishment. I asked if everything was okay and he said he'd never seen so many entries using the same phone number. Couldn't help bu

I'm not a "look at me!" kind of person, but here's what has really helped me with these kinds of interviews. Keep a daily journal of what you work on. Nothing fancy, just stop by once a day religiously and add a few note

The described permanence of lies even after they are revealed as such really lends weight (dare I say credit?) to the tactics of fake news and propaganda in general. The value of being the first to form an impression of an event, law, etc.
