For years the simplest heuristic I can find for finding up-and-coming places has been "Where is Starbucks opening new stores?" I assume Lofty's is much more complicated than that, but I'd be curious to see what the overl

There are three things I'd like to share with you. First, I've hired dozens of people in the last year, and the main piece of advice is this: I'm rooting for you. Seriously. I spend a TON of time sifting through resumes, doin

Gotcha. That makes sense.

I definitely had headaches for a few days, but I really did feel calmer and more relaxed. It's damned HARD to stay caffeine free, though. It's really hard.

Reading this, it sounds like depression/exhaustion is your problem and not necessarily your job. I recently had a bout of almost burnout, and I did a few experiments to see if anything got better. One, I realized that I was drinking a

We've discussed switching to Kafka. There are some pros/cons to doing that. With respect to my problem above, our messages _could _conceivably approach 1MB (or even surpass it), so we're really just delaying the inevitable. T

That's a good idea, but wouldn't sending and later retrieving millions of S3 objects be expensive?

In my experience Redis is plenty durable (especially in Elasticache with replicas + multi-region + backups). Redis _is_ an in-memory data store, so if the server crashes, you lose the data, but if you have replicas it'll fail over, if

We love SQS, but one of the problems we're running into lately is the 256kb per message limitation. We do tens of millions of messages per day, with a small percentage of those reaching the 256kb limit. We're approaching the point

When I was in 6th grade, I went on a field trip, and the teacher handed out awards to all the kids for what they did on the trip. Most of the kids got things like "most athletic" and "best teamwork skills" and "best

I've thought about tracking my meals, but I don't think I really care enough to know what I ate on which days. That's why I tend to have a simple view on my monthly tracker as a proxy for "cook" (usually healthy), &

I started keeping a bullet journal a year ago. In my "monthly" view, I have a habit/mood tracker, so I track several things including: - how my day went (good/okay/bad) - predominant mood (happy/meh/sad&#x

I know a lot of people who have just painted along with Bob Ross. Maybe that's an option?

Yeah, pretty much. I get email receipts for everything, so nothing is a surprise, but quarterly I'll go through my automated bills and say "do I really use this?" and cut them out. As for how to automate, I basically just hav

I basically automate all the things. All of my bills are automated and audited quarterly. My income is automatically put into my checking, savings, and investments on each paycheck. I allocate a reasonable monthly stipend into my checking a

Yes, mine does the same. It's a really nice hearing aid. It's just a shame it's so expensive and not covered by insurance. I literally cannot function at a job without one, but insurance (or disability) won't cover it. B

I'm not sure. My hearing loss is bad enough ("profoundly deaf" --- basically, the next level down is "totally deaf") that I wouldn't try an off the shelf aid without an audiologist's support.

by Jemaclus 8y ago
Yeah. I've demoed the Costco ones, but they weren't great. My hearing loss isn't just a minor loss. I'm classified as "profoundly deaf", which requires serious amplification. Unfortunately, Oticon and its ilk a

by Jemaclus 8y ago
Yes, this is true. I'm actually fortunate in that I'm completely deaf in one ear and "only" profoundly deaf in the other. That means I only have to spend $3000 instead of 2x that. It's ridiculous. My hearing aid is

Plaid is an API for banks, basically: https://plaid.com . It's pretty fantastic (especially compared to the way you used to have to go about it.) As for advantages over Mint, I'm sure Mint has updated recently, but as o

Nope! It's part of the code review process, for sure, but it's not the purpose of code review. The purpose of code reviews is to have better code at the end of it . That includes pointing out bugs, improving fine-but-ineffi

I'm with you. I'd say "Thanks for your time" and leave, giving feedback to the recruiter. If anyone at my company did that in an interview, we'd certainly never put them in an interview rotation again, and there mig

Like everyone else said, practice, practice, practice. But I also have a little anecdote that may or may not help you. I'll share it, if you don't mind. Many many moons ago, when I was in middle and high schools, I was terrified o

I work in this space, so I may have some insight. The short answer is sort of tautological or whatever the term is: Nobody is doing the recipe thing because nobody does the recipe thing. Think about it this way: Amazon has how many billio
