The Symantec app is just a regular TOTP app but a bit more annoying. You can usually replace it. See https://locima.com/2019/06/01/replacing-symantec-vip-with-a-... for one method. I did this to get my Etrade

I don't think that's the case. AFAIK there's no such system. The article specifically reference Epic, which is one of the biggest (_the_ biggest?) EHR software company in the US. My wife used it as a nurse and I've watch

Scrubs is a funny one. It's both disaster and transcendent. Everything about Season 9 is garbage, but up to that point it was a fantastic show. And Season 8 has an incredibly well-done, moving, funny finale. I highly recommend anyone w

Even though I haven't used Perl professionally for about 6 years or so, my Perl FOSS work has driven pretty much my entire career. Starting in around 2000 or so, I started producing a lot of Perl modules (libraries). You can see what I

My current employer, MongoDB, has unlimited PTO and it's not a scam. I think I'll end up taking about 5-6 weeks this year. I did ask about this when I interviewed and was told that 5-6 weeks was considered normal. Obviously, it&#x

There are two different pronunciations for Andrea in English. The one that's _not_ like Spanish or Italian is maybe a bit more common, but I've met people with both.

Sort of. They shut down during the pandemic and have only recently rebooted, but apparently with a totally new staff, and they're still figuring out food service. I'm pretty sure they had a lot of financial issues over the years.

I don't know the entire history, but for a very long time the Perl 5 source was in Perforce. It was migrated to git in 2008.

At my last employer they ran regular eNPS surveys using this 1-10 response scale where only 9 or 10 were considered positive. After much complaining from me that this was batshit crazy (I phrased this more appropriately at work), they final

When I've created these sorts of take homes I always do them myself and have at least 1 other person on the team do them. My thinking was that we should be able to do them in 1.5 hours if we tell the candidate it will take then up to 3

I'm not suggesting people have to care deeply about the company they work at. I'm just saying that I'd expect people to come to an interview having read the company website and job description. That's all.

I'm not sure how Mercurial is relevant. From reading the Buck2 getting started docs, it looks like it works just fine with Git repos.

It's not like this is the only meeting on anyone's calendar. We all have various standups, ticket review, etc. meetings already. If we were a _no-meeting_ company (does that exist?) I would've gone about this differently.
