Given that it resolved itself on its own, I'd assume that wasn't the case for me. But it's very interesting how referred pain can be so confusing!

Self reply to add an addendum ... I almost forgot the follow up. I've also experienced weird GI pain with no cause and reflux without any indication of reflux (throat looks fine, swallowing is fine, etc.). For the GI pain, my GP prescr

Yeah, I did consider some surgeries like an epidydymectomy (the doctors though that was where my pain was coming from). Fortunately it did slowly resolve itself and I didn't have to do that. I hope your pain resolves itself soon. It ju

I wouldn't call him "biased". He has a strong opinion, but it's not based on nothing nor is it a product of some sort of ulterior motive. He has a strong opinion about these games that I agree with. I had a C64 growing u

See my other comment here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24948175 The only thing that made sense was that an initial infection triggered idiopathic pain long after the infection was gone.

This is a great article, except for the parts where it intimates that Sierra games were good. While their games _were_ beautiful technological marvels, the design of most of the games (especially Roberta's) was just so incredibly bad.

Yeah, regarding doctors I'm not sure anything they suggested help. The first one I saw that it was an infection and gave me antibiotics. That didn't seem to do much. Then as it persisted another urologist thought it might be urine

About ten years ago I had around 9 months (maybe a little more) of chronic testicular pain. It felt like someone had kicked me in the crotch about 10 minutes ago, all day every day. I've been in more pain from some injuries I've h

Did you hum or sing? I wonder if that makes a difference. I hummed.

I tried 3 songs: * Everybody Has a Dream by Billy Joel * Kids by MGMT * Good Day Sunshine by The Beatles 0 hits. I know I'm not the world's best singer, but I was humming the right notes.

There are still sites doing this. Bloomberg is one I can think of, since I've deleted my cookies (and other local storage) for that site more than once, with success.

Any lawyers want to comment on this? My guess is that it's unenforceable because you can't bind someone with a contract by sneak attack. But it's funny.

"Culture" is a really broad word. I agree that "culture fit" is often cover for "let's hire people who are just like us because I'm more comfortable that way". Instead, I think we should attempt to re

Good point. I'm sure some of the candidates who do our assignment have stuff on GitHub or elsewhere, but thought they could do better work with the assignment.

Just to clarify, I thought the author of the linked piece was suggesting that people could share actual code from previous employers somehow. Of course it's reasonable to ask people about their past work in an interview and to expect t

Companies fly people out all the time (well, pre-COVID). They pay for the travel expenses, but not your time. I personally find this much more of an imposition than spending a few hours writing some code in the comfort of my home.

There's a test linked to see if you might be a super recognizer. It only used Caucasian faces. Insert epic facepalm here.

Yeah, Google Docs is not great for documents with lots of code in them. There's an add-on called Code Blocks which helps a bit, but it's still nowhere near as simple as Markdown.
