I have only had to provide references twice in 12 years. I have alerted my managers ahead of time and they indicated a willingness to provide a reference. I left off my current job (I always find a new job before quitting the current one).

In 2008 (the last time I did freelance web design) I was able to charge decent money for a custom website. Nowadays people can get that with WordPress and a $60 Themeforest template or something like Wix or Shopify. So you will have to comp

To me they are pretty much interchangeable. I used to use Firefox primarily but maybe 20 years ago Chrome was slightly faster so I switched. Now I use both.

I don't know about Google, but I have done this twice. In the first instance I had a competitive offer which my company matched, but the new company increased their offer so I left (27% increase over previous salary). In the second ins

Is the goal to build the actual workings of the app (you want to learn CRUD app development)? Or do you have a product/service that you want to sell using the app (e.g. you want people to be able to create an account and buy and sell).

There is internal resistance to new products that compete with the main product offering. A startup with only one product does not have this barrier. You can see the same effect with car manufacturers who were slow to introduce electric car

I have T-Mobile and there is an option to just block Scam Likely calls instead of just labeling them. I have never had a legitimate call mislabeled.

Twitter has a clear policy about hacked material [1]. So stories based on emails harvested from a hack are not shareable. Theoretically even flattering stories would also be blocked if the source material came as a result of a hack. 1. ht

i would like to be able to search it by attribute, like "find me all flights I took on Delta" or "How many flights did I take to Miami last year"

by byoung2 6y ago
It would be cool if raw text could be parsed into structured data. Something like "Yesterday at 6pm, I took a flight from MIA to LAX airport on Delta" could be parsed into: { "date": "2020-10-09T06:00:00-080

Look at it from the opposite side...if the company were going to lay you off. They would give you maybe 2 weeks, or payment in lieu of notice. You might get a severance that in theory could cover a few weeks while you search for a new job.

by byoung2 6y ago
Always give 2 weeks, no more, no less. If you give too much notice, there is the chance that they terminate you right away (you are not invested in the company long term, why keep you), or as soon as they find a replacement (what if that ha

It's reassuring to know that there's a significant portion of the population that will disobey any order just because it's an order. Why is that reassuring? Every year we have cases of people refusing evacuation orders duri

I was in the Philippines January-February 2020 when COVID-19 first appeared. People were clamoring for masks long before it was mandated. Their desire to wear masks voluntarily was likely more effective than any mandate. Their cases per 100

The US got a late start dealing with the virus because of a failure of leadership at the very top. The president downplayed the virus and failed to lead an effective response to the virus early on. That delay in widespread testing, preventa

My main criticism with pointing based on complexity is that people don't think in complexity, they think in time. For example, a 1 point ticket might be to move a 50lb weight up a flight of stairs. A 5 point ticket might be to move a 5

It is the same reason most cars are automatic now, although car enthusiasts would prefer a manual. They are optimizing the UI for the broadest group of people, even if it alienates you specifically.

the resolution of people fighting for their rights is that they want to be treated equally. That is not entirely true...people may want to be treated fairly, even if it is not exactly equal. For example I am 6 feet tall so I have no probl
