Everyone in recruiting and hiring has a different opinion of what makes a good résumé—formatting and content, both. Many of these are mutually exclusive. You can't realistically know which set of preferences you're dealing with be

I'd have assumed spamming requests and accepting all the incomings would mostly just lead to even more recruiter spam, and that anything else coming through a network so-grown (jobs, collaborations) would be extremely low-value (why wo

I list anything I've completed more than a tiny amount of paying work in. Maybe leaving something off if I think it'll hurt my chances, comp-negotiation, or get me shunted to shitty projects. Otherwise, if I got paid to do it, and

I like a lot of styles of beer. I long ago put Anchor in the "meh, don't bother buying again" category. There's a lot of new stuff to try, more all the time, and the bar for making it into the "buy again" cat

In a video game, you don't: get (actually) injured, get tired, get sweaty, get attacked by mosquitos, walk through poison ivy or have a nasty encounter with a thorn bush that leaves you hurting and/or itching for days, get sunburn

Right. Because some people use it that way and dictionaries have (not inappropriately!) leaned strongly descriptivist for decades. They should have such a definition in them. Meanwhile, I'm not sure what about my post prompted you to

It remains the clear front-runner, with no close competition, for most any site that'll be run by non-geeks, unless you're hosting on a managed platform with its own (closed) content management system. Exception for certain narr

No feed. No social network. Et c. Reasonable people disagree over whether it's appropriate to label any piece of software in which two or more people interact "social media". I tend to think it renders the term uselessly broa

People and companies in the US have contributed a whole lot of hours to emulator development, such that it's plausible emulation would not be nearly as good as it is if such development were illegal in the US. Moreover, less effort may

The NUCs had a pretty wide range of processor options, and often fairly-old ones with low core counts from lower-end processor lines were still for sale—but never at what felt like the correct price to me, especially since they usually need

YMMV but I've found my watching:fiddling-with-the-system ratio to be way higher with Jellyfin than it ever was in my years and years of trying and failing to enjoy Kodi/XBMC. And it's way more usable for other members of my

No worse than most other laptops, now. A little better than many of them. Not as good as back when Macbook Pros were still thick enough to hold a disc drive and the keys had a lot more travel, but nothing like the dark days of the very-loud

"I don't understand why anyone ever uses AirBnB" is definitely a "tell me you don't have kids without telling me you don't have kids" kind of thing.

I don't think "hot dog" naturally sounds tasty to native English speakers, either. Like, I think if you could somehow find an adult native English speaker who didn't already know what a hot dog is, and told them you&#x

The parts that make them bad are mostly about trying to make the houses look (even) bigger than they are, and making them look fancier than they are as cheaply as possible . That kind of inept, absurd pretension is a recipe for comedy.

4:3 does happen, just coincidentally, to damn-near match the aspect ratio of a 2-page spread on a comic, too (~1.3 width/height on an open comic book, 1.333... for 4:3, 1.6 for 16:10) which means a larger screen in a wider ratio might
