I'm a little sad about this. My dad works in computer storage and had access to lots of computers doing nothing. He's now at "just about 11 quintillion flops, 99.12% ranking vs all other users"

It clicked a bit more for me understanding the box model better. More recently flexbox makes things a lot more clear/easier and handles a lot of those problems by default. I have no idea how design works, that seems a bit more art. EDI

My personal experience with this was that Angular 2 was announced, which was completely non backwards compatible. So there were a bunch of people that 1) Needed to rewrite their code 2) Distrusted Angular to be stable React had a philosophy

Perhaps repeat criminals on Promise are not eligible to use it in the future. All a repeat criminal in this case does is lower the governments trust in the product.

It's pretty incredible how many people rock climb (at Planet Granite in Sunnyvale). People are interested in talking there as well, as opposed to lots of cafes where people are heads down. Meetup groups for things like Ultimate Frisbee

I think this is a good idea and would speed up interviewing at companies since you would be able to focus on the match. It does rely on companies actually knowing what criteria they are looking for and to be upfront about it, which unfortun

Not OP, but I work at refdash This is a fake feedback report for an interview, to show what companies and candidates can expect. Thanks for your comment. I do think it's important particularly from a feedback perspective. Since compani

Thanks for the suggestion, just added it. Interviews are somewhat anonymous, the interviewer only gets your first name (added that too). We've discussed making it even more anonymous (voice modulation, hiding video, etc.) but it seems

The biggest thing is that there is more money in evaluating software engineers. There's higher demand than most other professions, so companies will pay more. I have limited information about interviews for other industries, but other

Just for some context about this document, this is a fake interview with fake interview feedback. It is meant to highlight some of the criteria which Refdash uses to evaluate candidates and how companies and candidates can expect to receive

The interview data is only ever shown anonymously to companies, even if you apply to a company with it. Only when the candidate and company agree to do an onsite are names revealed. Basically it's a good chance to practice and get feed

Interviewing is a skill like all things. The more you practice the better you will get at it. Unfortunately, this process can be slow and the worst part is that when you interview you don't really get any kind of feedback from the comp

The article mentions a drop in Daily users of about 10M (specifies around 12M). This also include any launches that occurred over the last month, which means the retention over this time is likely much worse than just 75% but I don't h

I like https://paribus.co/ It automatically requests refunds for things you buy online that drop in price. It's nice because it's very passive and it's basically found money when it works.
