I bomb most technical interviews if I'm being honest. I struggle quite a bit with the text book questioning part of the process, mostly with using the correct terminology. I think this is partly because I've been remote for the la

Planet fitness is the absolute worst offender in my mind. I had a membership once at a location and did not close it before moving out of state. Fair to assume I could just cancel over the phone, but this is not something they would do. Ap

No, I don't think LSD was involved. Just psychological abuse.

Almonds as a crop aren't going to provide enough nutrients for bees, but yeah, it's an issue anywhere large monocultures exits.

>Generally, the "10x devs" are the ones who got to do the initial greenfield work. They are the ones who understand the system, including all the undocumented domain knowledge that has been embedded into it over the years. I th

it's an Irish joke, that speaks the the Irish sense of humor. Irish people will jab at the Irish way all day long. It's really not offensive; certainly not as offensive as someone else coming along and deciding to be offended on o

I wouldn't, no. if a teammate wanted to do a video chat or quick phone call with me they can ping me on slack and ask if it's a good time. this sort of feature adds an unspoken expectation to my home office... that I'm suppos

I have a similar experience with HPPD...the ability to "flex" the mind to either increase or decrease the degree to which I was experiencing the visual pattern distortions. it was mostly just a matter of directing attention into t

With HPPD, do you find that you're able to increase/decrease the levels of distortions by mentally moving into it/ pulling out of it? I developed fairly severe HPPD from a large dose of LSD as well. This was about 20 years a

to be honest, I think this has more to do with the way a lot of companies interview. I was probably a much stronger interviewee immediately after graduating college than I am now after having worked in the field for half a decade. I'm

another dark pattern these kinds of aggregator sites do is up the price on flights/hotels that you've recently viewed. so if you are looking at a flight, then continue to browse for a bit to see other options, when you come back t

I started my career as a remote junior dev, but I wouldn't recommend it. it's very difficult to get brought up to speed as a skilled developer in a situation where contact with other devs is minimal.

I'm an experienced remote worker offering 6 years experience primarily using the Microsoft stack. I approach solutions with maintainability in mind; code should be simple to read and easy to change. Location: Providence, RI Remote:

Is it just me, or has ghosting interviewees become more common recently? I've joked about it being the hiring style of millenials, might be there's actually something to that. I absolutely hate it though. If someone has invested

Your first job on a code base with any real complexity is going to be tough. It just takes time, but after a while, it will start to make more sense and you will get more comfortable with it. Hang in there. the experience you'll get by

I always thought it was a meme too, and surely no one was dumb enough to believe or try it... then I volunteered at the med tent at a Rainbow Gathering in Wyoming. I can confirm at least one use of jenkum in the United States.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. I think this is a very reasonable projection. The technology isn't just going to stagnate, it's going to continue to evolve until it finds a useful place in the world. Having insu

This is what burnout looks like. At some point you just hit a wall.

Product tracking and supply chain management is a practical use case. Pairing RFID tags with block chain technology can be used as an anti-counterfeiting measure to guarantee a product's origin.

When greed meets control, you get a black market. I don't see illegal marijuana going away. There's always going to a black market for a product that's strictly regulated, so long as it's profitable and in high demand.

Gemini's identification process is a bit ridiculous imo. After sending them a copy of my drivers license to prove my identity, they emailed me back asking for copy of my most recent pay stub. Ah, no. That's farther than I'm w

It seems to me that in an attempt to avoid one type of toxic environment, you've gone to another extreme. What you're really screening for is an environment where everyone is similar to yourself.

Screen sharing is an important feature, but is video conferencing really necessary or even something most people want? I WFH, and my team has bi-weekly meetings, but we don't do video conferencing. I quite prefer phone calls to video p
