   Cronyism, intertia, lack of will. For the latter, putting a spotlight on people's jobs will send a message to all other works.

   Interesting. In hindsight, the retail store distribution model of software lasted far longer (and still does) than it ever should have.

   Whoa, I'm not sure why almost 50% interest added to the cost didn't ring alarms earlier, you are right. So the corrected 60/120/180: $23k, $25.5k, $28k. And true, it will be worth something after 10 years or so, figure $

   I have this one static page that uses their API to list all pipelines across all projects. Like 50 API calls at once. It's usually terribly slow (1-2 mins to finish, sometimes more). Today it's the fastest it's ever been. &lt

   They are? Most powertrain warranties are 100k nowadays. Recent cars have unlimited miles/10+ year corrosion warranties as well. Yes, you're taking more risk with a used car. But I have multiple cars, and am a mechanic so it doesn&

   5 years? Not really. Pretty much any Japanese car made in the last 20 years, and domestic in the last 8 should last 10 years; 100/150k before anything major is needed. But, to run the numbers, get a the total cost of ownership (car pay

    We don't ask anything hard. For JS candidates, given [1, 2, 3, 'a'] return an array without the letter. Debug an AJAX call (the URI protocol has an obvious typo). For react candidates, implement an event handler for a button

    I much prefer coderpad or HackerRank, live with the interviewers, over whiteboarding. I find talking through a first approach, improvements, debugging, etc. is very useful -- both as an interviewer and candidate. The timed HackerRank and su

    You don't die. At least, not from severe trauma. You die eventually from preventable causes due to lack of preventative care. You do get crushing medical debt, though. Which my advice would be to declare bankruptcy and/or not pay

    Well hopefully there will be such an influx of fakes everywhere that people will at least begin to accept that anything can be faked, and hopefully take the next step of thinking a little more critically about what they hear next.

    How many years have you been at this? How do/did you learn the more architectural problem solving skills? I ask because I am pretty skilled technically, but only down in the weeds. Reading your blog post about the two techniques and ho

    I had a Corsair H50, it lasted about 5 years or so. The pump died on it. It was actually quite annoying to track down. At idle it would run for an hour or two before shutting off. But start a game it would only last a few minutes. Seems obv

    Temps are higher, as is spiking, but it never surpasses 70C, where when water-cooled, would never surpass 45C or so, IIRC. This is a Ivy Bridge (IIRC) Core i5 at 4.0GHz.

    Yes, depending on how well it seals. Usually there's a hole in the back for HID cables, and the front has rubber feet to prevent door slamming that also offsets the door. This allows heat to flow out.
