It's unfortunate that the CRAP acronyms Act didn't use EVIL (Exit, Voice, Ignore, Loyalty) instead of EVNL. Though I prefer. :(

Nit: Trump being super wealthy is arguable on many grounds - definitionally ("super"), wealthy at all, debt superseding wealth, etc. Bloomberg is _actually_ super wealthy.

Our two dogs watch our 4k TV often. And bark at various things, actors, subjects they don't like.

I don’t think so. That’s why you’ll have candidates passing the questions but not the interview. We’re not looking got rote answers, we’re looking for comprehension, problem solving, and discussion.

False negatives waste far less time (dollars) than false positives. It’s unfair but worth it to not force a team to have to work with an unqualified candidate for a year or maybe more.

Hmm, perhaps. But interviewing has become big businesses for prep and passing. There are companies that will ghost interview for a candidate, even through actual onsite interviews. It’s a real problem. Tangentially, candidates should read “

You're using an Apple product - Apple is known for their tailored and single-path UX that they don't simply expect their users to love, they also don't care when they don't. I'm not saying your complaints aren'

Sounds an awful lot like the giggles wore in Stephenson’s Fall; Or, Dodge in Hell. People in the later years wore google that could do that to indicate status, interest, or just anonymize themselves.

They seem benign to me. Monopoly is defined as "the exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service.". You yourself say they own "80% of box office hits" but there's still ample c

+1. Oculus Quest setup takes roughly 15-30s in any room - regardless of having played there before or not.

Did you try fixing the focus?

I have the Quest and an empty basement set up for it. The games are all still too indie feeling but with the focus dialed in the experience is truly remarkable. Oculus is pushing in the right places too - standalone device with PC support,

"well trodden problem" does not make it any easier. Scaling is hard. For everyone. Testing that scaling works is harder.

There was an opt-out and multiple pages worth of confusing "opt-in" options selected by default. I painstakingly went through and skipped/declined all of them. But I'm still receiving my "moving gifts".

I wonder how that plays with their canabilizing of Hulu subscribers. Does it count those subscribers in the 60 million?

This seems an awful lot like the eye/head tracking in the Amazon Fire phone and that went over super well. This type of input makes sense in certain applications/platforms but a phone isn't one of them - at least not with cur

The joke is on "them" in our current day and age. The overwhelming majority that care about children are far more interested in gun safety than backdoors for the NRA backing party.

It probably does. But the query builder doesn’t require architectural constraints, the ORM does.

No, both can dig but one gives you excruciating finesse (assembly/shovel). I’ve updated the ordering.

Your assembly/c analogy is more akin to comparing a shovel to a mini excavator. 95% of the time you’re better off using a query builder library for the convenience rather than locking your architecture into using an ORM that will, inev

I was a bit exaggerative - the entire "development" arm of the bank had read only access to all customer financial data. One of the devs was a customer and pulled up all of his information.

That's a myopic and emotionally charged way of looking at it. When I interview people, I ask straight forward, probing questions looking for how the candidate approaches the problem and the path they take to the solution. I don't

There's a balance point. When I did interviewing at FANG.Co I would occasionally just get people that were severely under qualified for the role. It might be a large swatch filter but the degree requirement does reduce the number of th
