You shouldn't worry about it. I worked with a guy that was did construction for at least 10 years before he went into a tech field. If that massive career shift didn't impact him, a few months while you finish up your self study d

It really depends, and you should really check. I went to Israel for a week for business meetings, and needed a work visa. Coming from the US, I didn't need to file paperwork ahead of time, but coming from some other non-US branches I

That's probably right. In which case it's comparison between "small SUV" and "crossover". I think the Lexus RX may be the former, unless they changed the platform from her 1st gen RX.

I'm also in the process of buying a home for the first time, and did some search on Trulia/Zillow. It was OK, but the data gets really stale. One home was sold already before it was taken down. I did find out that Houston has a re

Whether it's a crossover based on a truck or car platform makes a difference. My girlfriend's crossover is on a truck platform, and handles like one. We recently test drove a newer crossover built on a sedan platform, and it driv

Your biggest costs are in heating and cooling, followed by appliances. Some electric companies offer programs to cycle your air conditioning during peak hours. They'll cut the compressor but leave the fan running, and then turn it back

Transistors may not need to be 100% working on 100% of the die to be shipped. If the fault is contained within a subsection, the manufacturer can set fuses to disable portions of the chip. This is generally used to distinguish features betw

It was my interpretation that "binning" is because of the manufacturing and imperfections in the etching or underlaying wafer cause certain chips to not perform up to spec. It's not because there's 1.7 Billion of somethi

I agree with the slacks + button up for men unless you're going for a senior management position, then go suit. FWIW, when I interviewed at Intel and wore a suit, the security guard commented when I walked in that I was overdressed.

My interpretation is that the business model is used for at least having some idea of how you will reach your customers and earn money. It may not work, so you may need to pivot or change your strategy, but you could have multiple channels

I used DRBD before it was cool (before it was added into the kernel), and it works great for highly available directories like home dirs, which was my use case. Even then it was pretty solid, and it's very similar to using a high end N

HVM gives the best performance because you can take advantage of certain hardware features through the hypervisor. It's basically more direct access to the hardware, which makes it faster as you don't have as much hypervisor overh

Loans are also bad because you start with a 100% full credit (e.g. $1000 outstanding on $1000 loan) and pay it down. Part of the credit rating is your balance to credit ratio, so 5% looks much better than 95%. I've heard that the ideal

Some companies have a limit on the number of times you can work for them, in order to prevent people from hopping and coming back for more money. I think a previous company I worked at had a limit of 2 employment periods, which they institu
