Yes, it's the norm. Typically they'll call a mandatory all-hands meeting (or a mandatory meeting with the laid off people with HR or something), and then when that meeting begins they deactivate those people's access to every

I think I might have to pursue laying off digital ocean lol. I only pay them $6/mo for my container but they sound like a shitty company now.

It is not complicated at all, if you do it during the construction stage. The thing is, you can't just randomly turn office suites into bedrooms like that. Commercial buildings have different structural integrity, plumbing requirements

The ironic thing is that today, Codewarrior is just a crappy reskin of Eclipse for developing for NXP chips.

Ahhh I remember when Google was the shining light of the software world. I'm not sure I'll ever get over my anti-MS bias. I respect them a lot for some things, but I had a couple of real shitty experiences with their university re

The funny thing is my personal experience was the opposite. I have a lot of experience in embedded software. The recruiters I interacted with at Google knew about my specialization and targeted positions that were embedded-related (like, at

It's the small 3rd party apps. Stuff like mcdonalds, taco bell, weatherbug, uber eats, etc. The web browser is kinda faster too, but I use firefox on both devices so it's not really a fair comparison on either end. The XS just sho

I have an XS and a Galaxy Fold 4. The XS is a LOT slower at some things. But that might reflect more on the app developers than the phone.

There was also a seemingly endless supply of "good questions" where the answers were never deemed acceptable for some long list of reasons, a new reason added to the list every week. I think at some point a lot of people got fed u

Yea most of the morons that say that kinda stuff are probably "low performers" themselves lol. HN has this weird complex of people who insist they're "10x" or "high performers" or whatever that want toxic

A lot of cars have the option to display a map on the radio screen, so I'm kinda surprised. I love using that thing! I always have an idea of the alternative streets available when I'm stuck in traffic because it's always the

Naw I think it's more "let's get rid of all these heavily overpaid employees and replace them with cheaper ones" :D Especially the ones that spend all day bragging about how they're a top performer on hackernews. :D

That the companies are so sensitive to spikes and valleys in the market speaks louder about how badly run the companies are than anything else.

I'm siting here pondering how adding a second stairway to a building makes it economically unfeasible. What kinda crappy buildings are you making where the stairway is that substantial to the cost of the construction? And in low rise b

I have a nice charging pad on my desk under my monitor. I have a few phones that I use right now (one for work, one personal, one is a gadget), and it's really nice to just plop them on there when they're at like 50%. The slow cha

After over 3 years of using an iPhone xs I bought a galaxy fold 4 lol. My desire for a weird gadget phone has been quenched for now, but because I am a huge fan of Apple watches, I havent gotten rid of my iPhone yet lol

Southwest also has pretty good size seats, afaik, relative to other airlines' economy seat size. Plus the whole "you're all the same so we treat you all the same" thing is nice. I do wish there was an international equiv

Honestly idk if even 50% of that 20% care. Maybe nobody cares! It's all good. :) My guess was that a lot of the management demanding people to return to the office, are the kinda people that want to be around a lot of people, so they a

That's quite a bit for an interview. How long did it take? Did they gave you code to plug a piece into? Or did you have to write the whole game?

Looking at this, my salary has gone up faster than inflation, but not much. Like I make 10k more now than I did 4 years ago. Ouch.
