Those algorithm test platforms are completely useless. I stopped using them long ago. No engineer I hire has to sort shit or filter out duplicates. I assume they know the sort functions in the language. I ask engineers with a blank GitHub t

I'm 41 and just hired a 50 year old devops guy, because he's good, a little nuts and fits our salary range. The problem with older developers for me is mostly the salary expectations. I'm looking for mid level or senior peopl

I'm hiring a lot at the moment, I have multiple interviews every day, we had 100s of candidates, but not a single one had more than a getting-started project on their GitHub profile. I'd take open source code any day over our codi

I'm also wondering where this is coming from. So far I've heard this exclusively from American movies. In Germany this kind of thing does not exist at all and I haven't heard anything like in South-East-Asia where I live sinc

Are you living in the US? I live in Singapore and my ISP encourages me to host my own stuff. With a static IP and 1GBit/500MBit there's enough bandwidth available.

Is there a docker(-compose) setup I can use to give it a try? I think this would lower the barrier to entry a lot. I have a blog running on ghost I wouldn't have without a maintained docker container. I miss Instagram, pixelfed looks l

It's actually good intentions. If you only have one customer, they push you in the direction of full employment to make sure you're not being exploited. Employment (in Germany) has health insurance included and your employer pays

As a fellow photographer (even the same gear), I understand the author's pain in losing it. I really hope they can get it back and the thief is held liable. What I truly admire is how professional the blog entry is written after being

I just removed Google's ReCaptcha for a honeypot solution with an additional name and url field. But there's also a timer which checks how long it takes you to submit the form. If you can fill out everything in <2s, you're

I very much want to believe that Google cares about small email providers and self-hosters. I believe that you care personally, but have a look at the documentation. All the help articles target bulk-hosters, the documentation doesn't

I think Nietzsche is one of the writers where it really makes sense to read the German original side by side with your translation. He's a master with words, which you can appreciate a lot more if you understand his play with words. It

There are definitely languages which are a lot easier to learn than English or German, like Malay. It has a simple grammar and no intonations, so you should be able to speak properly after 2 months full time study. I'm pretty sure you

While it's an impressive piece of technology, I think it's the wrong way to approach this problem. Of course big scale agriculture needs to spray glyphosate and the like, but a technology to minimize the usage combined with a more

The StarTrek game was the first game I ever played. I asked my father to teach me decimals to fire the photon torpedos properly. Seeing this again brings back some really early memories.

A proper logo is certainly a good start, but you need a well thought through Corporate Identity if you want to continue with your website. Think about the colors, the fonts etc. This must all match the logo or it looks strange. I use the co

In Germany it's a stereotype that all doctors or health work related people have to wear them, but they're not really trendy or anything. In Singapore where I live now, they however are quite visible in malls and people seem to li

How can INTEL tell people what to do with their CPU, I own it so I think I can do with it what I want or not? Only because the microcode update is considered software? I wouldn't be scared to benchmark it and publish the results in the

If you assume that every hoster is reading your mails, then moving them to China would give you the advantage, that your content and your meta data are not relevant to your new Chinese hoster, so ad targeting etc. would be gone, because you

I remember that in Germany you can buy bags made from corn starch, but they're very thin and very fragile. You need to be really lucky to bring home your shopping bags safely and you definitely cannot reuse them. But you can put them o

That's all true, couple of years ago it made more sense to actually burn plastic waste, e.g. to use it to make steel than to recycle it. But the problem in India and China is that the plastic is dumped in the rivers and ends up in the

I was using 0bin quite often, but a couple of weeks ago they had problems with their SSL certificate, so no browser would let me use the site. Happy to see it's back!
