Not at HashiCorp, but I try to respect applicants' time in interviews, and my overall process is less than 3 hours total for interviewing, across 4 people (all of which are self-scheduled). That said, when you have hundreds or thousan

Mildly related anecdote: At one job, we had an expensive office built out as our company grew. The CEO and CTO came in from out of town to do the ribbon cutting so to speak and welcome us to our new office. I was there as a manager doing

If it does, good. Those are companies you probably don't want to work for. In California, we also have a minimum pay here for exempt software engineers - it's $112,065.20, which is higher than the US median salary for software d

The question then is does it only happen in one direction? If the answer is yes, than I think you've solved it. If the answer is no, it might still be the problem but the sensor might be top or bottom mounted and not side mounted fro

It's also an utterly saturated market. There seems to be more competition around who can make the loudest box than even caring about what's inside of it.

How many people cared about those schematics? Most people would say "Gee, instead of this paper of things I don't understand, having a list of the radio stations in this spot would be more useful" As someone who found comput

Ah, good to know. That would explain why it wouldn't work in some places abroad. Machine probably couldn't process visa debit without inserting a card.

You can also use Apple cash at Apple pay stations. I'm not sure if that can be reloaded from a bank acct or not, but I get it trickled in with points from their card and when friends pay me. I don't know what that gets charged a

It may not be a legal right, but we're dangerously close to it being a practical necessity. Many places have gone completely cashless, including some public run entities like parking meters, etc..

I think that opinion is changing. I regularly see engineers come in with gaps, and rarely do they not have a good explanation for it that anyone but the worst managers would be ok with. Whether it's child-rearing, testing early retir

Not really sure if you're just trolling here or not. I picked this specific example because it has happened more than once. There are plenty of ways my wife, who's actually tough as nails, has needed a ride home when crashing.

Both my wife and I have apple watches. The battery life is bad enough that you have to either charge it at night (and miss out on the sleep tracking features) or charge it during the day for an hour (and remember to go get it once it'

This starts off with "I chose..." and ends with "there should be a mandate" It's very easy for people who wear pants to live a life where their phone is never switched off of vibrate mode and lives in their pocket.

Next time my wife calls me when she's crashed her bicycle and needs picking up I'll remind her to schedule it better.

Sure, and I get that I suppose. Driving fast ICE cars is a fun but different experience. What kills me are Honda civics with "performance" mufflers that muffle.. less.

I never understood the desire to be loud. My EV is probably faster than most of the cars on the road screaming at the top of their lungs and showing off their engines and it's whisper quiet. I like it that way.

Because I don't think it's particularly feminist to force both parents to work.

I have heard the argument that a negative effect of the post WW2 "feminist" movement (by that I mean women in the work force) has had the long term effect of causing prices to simply adjust to the dual income household, to the poi

The majority of new games can't work offline, and having a physical disc is now so rare that companies are selling game boxes and deluxe editions that contain no software at all - not even a download code, since you need to buy it with

There's always an outlier race here or there, but generally, women can not hold on to men's fields at the pro level. I have seen many pro level women enter men's pro fields just to get the workout, and they get dropped every

RAAM is a pure endurance event, and it also tends to attract mostly older athletes. Not to take away from Leah's achievement, but it's a much different animal than a high speed road race. The men's fields are consistently m

I think you'll find in reality most people in the sport are strong advocates of women's racing, including the UCI - who you surely know does not put on the tour de france. It's up to ASO to design the tour format(who admitte

That is an absurd and frankly insulting comparison to make. Rape is an act of physical violence, and you're arguing about a small price to use a free service.

Coincidentally I just got a new work machine this week. The IT support staff replacing it scheduled an hour of time to transfer files, set up apps, etc. with me. I was done in 5 minutes. Once I logged in, logged into my cloud services, a

I was the final two weeks of a long period of zero productivity, despite many offers of help and asking if he understood, needed help, etc. I never enjoy firing someone, even if they are downright awful or mean, and do my best to avoid it.
