The answer is simple: Companies should be hiring people on a contract basis to perform REAL WORK. This work should ideally be the very type of work they would be doing if they were hired full time. If they do a good job, then great! Hire th

The trick to pair programming is for each dev to have their own workstation with two screens. Then, you simply use a screen sharing tool to share and collaborate on a code editor on each of your primary screens. We used to use Screenhero fo

You need to be using RubyMine. Simply command-click on ANYTHING to jump to the definition, even if it's nested deep in a gem that your project uses. RubyMine, and the "jump to definition" feature in particular, is the primary

Automated cows. Wow... I honestly never thought I would hear of such a thing. It totally makes sense though!

I have hired quite a few interview candidates that did AMAZING on the interviews and code tests, but turned out to be terrible programmers when it came to real world problems and/or team dynamics. I've also had candidates that utt

I have a 5 year old son. He has access to an iPad and all of my old game consoles (a Switch, my old PS4 Pro, and my Xbox One X), but he mostly prefers using the iPad. The iPad is locked down and has a ton of educational apps on it, but the

I'm using NiceHash on Windows, since it automatically switches between mining the most profitable cryptos. It always seems to just mine Ethereum for the most part though. The reason I mine this way (instead of with ASICs or dedicated h

No, the seller emailed me a copy of his purchase order and receipt from Best Buy, so I'm fairly certain it's legit.

I make about $10-15 a day from mining with my RTX 3090, while my electricity costs are around $2 a day from mining. That's still very much a profitable endevour. My video card has completely paid for itself almost double what I initial

A background check that includes even a cursory review of the candidate's public social media presence would probably go pretty far in terms of weeding out the most extreme right or left wing people (who often tend to be vocal with the

That's absolutely bonkers. I can think of 20 different ways to provide a decent web cam without having a notch in the screen. I would have preferred for them to leave the webcam off entirely before I would have ever settled on such an

Yeah I just tried it out and holy shit it's light years better than the default camera app when it come to letting you adjust manual focus and what not. I signed up for the trial. The yearly fee is only $11.99. How did you spend $80?

This looks useful, but I'm hesitant to give a third party access to my production databases. What assurances do I have in regard to the safety of this tool and whether or not it will access my client's secure data?

Very true. This is why ideally that device would have open source schematics and source code.

I took it as a jab against the idea that crypto should be taxed. Many people feel that crypto should be treated like liquid money that can be bought or sold freely, and not like a taxable investment.
