The problem as I see it with focusing on history & people skills too much is a lot of the weak candidates are flat out lying about those kind of things. I've interviewed more people in the last year than any previous year of my car

Interesting. I've been using Webex, Zoom, and Slack calls. Webex has been having some issues but has done better the last few days. Zoom has been OK, but with some audio cutouts yesterday. The one Hangout I was on the video and audio

I went to college in 1995... $99 would have likely been out of reach. I had access to C/C++ in high school on a PC only because my father ran an engineering group and brought home a VC++ license for us. I didn't get to use it th

The old Lemur Pro had a high-res screen available. This one probably will too, they must have just failed to put it on this web page.

The value of this new Lemur Pro is completely in how well the software works. I had IT at my job buy me a Lemur Pro (previous model) a year or two ago. If I just stayed at my desk all day it would have been better than the Macbook Pro. But

I have seen nothing but problems with the whole Active Record/ORM pattern in the last 15 years.. mostly java enterprise software. The problems existed before but IME they've gotten a lot worse. I'm pretty much in total agre

Yah.. USB-C, so I carry a dongle with the iPad Pro that I don't have to carry with my Surface Pro. I wouldn't have to buy the dongle cause I already have a great collection of them because I have a USB-C-only MacBook Pro. But

I already had an iPad Pro + smart keyboard + pencil once... and got rid of it and switched to a Surface Pro. We still have an old 10" iPad 2 + an older iPad Mini in the house and they get use for typical iPad consumer stuff. When I ad

There are always people who fail at swim lessons just like anything else, it's more that. It's a tough problem to solve. I have no more than 10% body fat, I have no issues. But I also taught adults who were similarly low body fat

Those are often places that aren't really fully staffed. If the place is fully staffed and well managed the beach vehicles shouldn't be needed cause the lifeguards should be close enough to not need them. Most places I've se

If you're in the pool with them they don't need armbands. Armbands are dangerous and hinder learning.

This is a great response. When I was a Water Safety Instructor I spent part of my time teaching at a special inner city program that was designed to try and counteract the disadvantages you are discussing. Another place I worked was in a v

I would expect so as well. Most Wave pools are at resorts/water parks which typically do not necessarily even employ fully trained/high skill lifeguards. They often rely on private certification programs that will train "shal

Larger feet are a genetic advantage for swimming but are in no way required. Like most other sports there is a body type that is advantaged in swimming. - Tall overall height (max speed is limited by length at water line just like boats) -

This is improper training. (Former WSI here) Especially in the ocean. The Salinity in the ocean makes it very easy for a well trained swimmer to float. People who sink on their back haven't been trained to maintain enough air in the

Like others who commented I worked as a life guard and water safety instructor when I was younger. (Everything I am saying pertains to the US only.) I rescued quite a few children, it's hard to see in this video because the video qua

The relay attack is pretty wild but it also sounds like all these years later all these cars are mostly using an ancient cipher. The Cipher was broken so badly that as far back as 2005 it was published how to break it, and it has still neve

A lot of this comes into play when your work/main goals tend to become mind-numbing over the years.

Good article, I get it. I've had 3-4 different hobbies over the past 20 years that have stuck. Bicycling/Motorcycling, Photography, and Music. They all have semi-obvious side hustles that are pretty poor business opportunities th

For one thing turbine blades have to deal with high temperatures. They're not really the same thing at all.

Worse than the millions of tons of pollutants released per second every day all over the world from non-green energy? Non-green energy releases more than 2 million tons/second of CO2 alone every day. There probably haven' been 2 m

This seems like a clickbait/scare-mongering/right-wing hit piece. The real story is not that they can't be dealt, with, more like companies are just being lazy and not dealing with the problem. The article goes on to mentio

Yes I went through that too. It was about 2 years ago. They sent me all the warnings that they were deleting anything. Do I believe them at all? Not really?

I feel like this stuff actually creeps me out more since I deleted my Facebook account. I didn't deactivate, I completely deleted. I'm near 100% sure they're still trying to track & sell me, but without an account I can

Neither here nor there really but that page is total fail as it seems to be using the Mercator projection which is terrible for comparing sizes! Drag Greenland down to the equator and watch it shrink, it's really odd!

This article is great... much thanks to the author. This kind of stuff is fascinating.

From the article: “There were times when you’d be demoing [games] and nothing would be happening; you would just be rendering the video from the perspective of the Kinect on a big TV,” Skillman says. “And then kids would always charge it. T

Every one of these stories always seems to have the common theme that at some point Google HR seems to step in in a really big-brother/creepy way and start saying the employee has been tagged for poor performance. It always seems to

Great article. I wonder at the speed of this on a modern machine vs an assembly version running in dos on a 1992 machine. A benchmark of interpreted code on a modern OS + machine vs bare metal native code written in the 1992 style on an o

I was highly disappointed.. this article had so much potential. Really it's great but it was such a let down to only see an animation of one knot with their special cord in the article.. I was really hoping to see animations/gifs
