FWIW I've started getting messages from recruiters since last week. As others have said, the market is just not in the right place for now. How about directly applying via their websites/LinkedIn/AngelList (cant remember thei

Im a 5G Google Fi user (Pixel 7) in Boston (I live in the city) and its honestly trash. There have been so many times where it says 5G but there's actually no network (maps keeps using the downloaded ones, music doesnt play etc). I fin

If you're a Garmin device user, the app is pretty good! I only recently started using their app more often and barring the social aspects, I dont think Strava offers me anything more. HR zones, recovery etc are all already in the Garmi

Culture-wise? Pretty boring TBH. I've worked in 2 startups and this company, hence the opinion. Work was very slow paced, lots of processes to follow and not experimental with technology (for obvious reasons). IMO ideal for someone who

Power Systems or certain companies in the healthcare space? I was working in a company making software for utilities and oil & gas companies (think competition to GE, Siemens etc). Don't think this will ever be slowed down or have

I'm curious, what field of work is this? And what kind of jobs more importantly?

Yup, there were several tricks like these! My father used to travel a lot and paying for roaming was expensive. So when he was available to speak, he'd just give a missed call at a fixed time and we used to call him from the landline (

I'm with you on trying to have minimal notifications. I have one personal email configured only for important mails, phone is set to vibration only since years (TBH I don't even remember what my ringtone sounds like) and my phone

I switched to a Garmin Instinct a few months ago. My Charge 2 died and I wanted something with GPS and decent battery life. I charge my watch every 10ish days (I pair it with my phone only after an activity to see the details, not otherwise

I too was planning on applying to them in the next few days. But I will first find out who exactly is being cut out. This article says that its some support staff (I assume these are mainly non-technical people), but it does raise some conc

I doubt that was the intent at the time. Sure they'd be looking for ways to monetize, but could the co-founder in 2012 have predicted what FB as an entity would become ~10 years later?

Welp, I don't know German at all sadly! The idea you mentioned in the original comment is certainly helpful though. Something to chew on, so thanks anyway :)

This is actually good advise! Could you link the podcast episode? I've had a hard time with some of my hobby projects, but now I think my approach could be very different. The ones I've completed have sort of fit the notion '

I generally ride on on trails, but to save time to drive to trails, I've started riding on roads since about 4 months. Behavior of some riders surprises me, they'll switch between pavement and road whenever they wish to. Just yest

Abebooks is my primary source of buying books! Its especially good for me, since I'm not originally from the US and its the cheapest way to get publications in my native language from "foreign" sellers. I'd like to supp

Yeah I agree with this. They were in top form and the crowd obviously helped. Anfield is massive for the team with supporters around. But after having such a long break due to the lockdown can change the dynamics. Its hard to produce that

Completely agree with this! One thing I like to do is break any task to smaller pieces and then achieve those goals. There are some times when I'm really excited about something and can work days without any distraction (both work and

Genuine question: Do Reddit mods get paid for being mods? Someone here posted a link to all the sub-reddits in question. These see so many posts generated all day. Im actually curious how someone has so much time to go through them. Is bein

Oh I agree with you. I work for a company making software for utilities. Our company policy doesn't allow working remotely at all! Engineers (not developers) need to work on systems that are isolated and staged in our campus. There&#x2

I have a feeling a lot of companies will follow suit. It saves up huge costs in real-estate by not having to provide seats to people. It also might just open up more companies to hire from any time zone.
