Wow, I have an AMEX but didn't know about it. For anyone else curious: https://www.shoprunner.com/americanexpress/ EDIT: Apparently it's not all American Express cards. My Fidelity AMEX doesn't qualify.

You can preorder for $39.99, or priority preorder for $189.99. If you simply pre-order and multiple people pre-order, then it goes to auction. I assume everything it's telling me is "available" is available as a pre-order, an

Most of the obvious guru addresses are already gone, and GoDaddy is still doing preorders (5am NZ is still another hour from now). I've seen a couple, but nothing that makes me want to spend $40 on. Basically all generics are taken alr

It wasn't to me either. I think it has something to do with the 302 redirect. I've never used FB Connect though, so maybe the 302 involves the fb/connect url? Replace your FB url with the victim's, and since you've

I was going to say Intel checks all the boxes - Very very competitive salary and "deterministic" benefits (401k with good employer contributions, RSUs, cash bonuses, etc.) Total comp is high, but the bonuses are super deterministi

I glanced down the other day at my iPhone 5 and saw the apple boot screen. I thought it was just a fluke because I've only seen it once.

Suppose you're a contractor who works full time at a particular company. This company is your only place of employment, and your contract doesn't have a defined term length (e.g. you're on till we don't need you anymore)

I use post-it notes on my monitor to remind me of things, until I don't need the note anymore. When I first started managing NFS storage, I had "Never use recursive" taped to my monitor so I would never do something horribly

Myself and some of my friends fretted over grades in college a lot more than we should have. You should aim for a 3.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale. If you're going for a particularly tough job, maybe 3.8. Less than a 3.5 cuts out a lot of

Kind of. They're actually footnotes (asterisks), referring to the same footnote. On this particular website it appears to be referring to the "*Trademark" link, which has the extended legalese. In the standard Intel style (wh

There are jobs that let you use multiple skills. I do a wide range of tasks because of my skillset, though I was hired to do only one of those things. It was just a natural progression of the job and taking on new responsibilities. One fram

There's no reason even with a standard resume to only have one. You tailor either per company or per position type. For example, for a iOS job, you'll emphasize iOS, maybe Android since it's in a similar space, and de-emphasi

Yes, if you both want to keep your meaningful work it generally ends up being the more scarce opportunity determining where you move. That's assuming there is a location where jobs X and Y both exist. For example, my friend is a civil

The tracking is bad, even when you know about it. Sometimes my friends will send me something on Amazon with ridiculous reviews or it's just a crazy item (e.g. the $5 million book on Amazon or the Nissan car). Now Amazon thinks I like

I disagree that it's the only reality. Definitely there is a scale where paying a sysadmin makes more sense than paying a provider for their sysadmin skills. There is another situation, which I would argue is the "enterprise"

I'm glad I'm not the only person that thought this, because I'm a HPC batch admin and that sort of machine packing is just what I do. I'm glad they found a solution which seems to work out really well for their use case.

In my experience with HPC (i.e. 100% load on all cores), enabling Hyperthreading gives you higher job throughput at the cost of increasing the time to complete a single job. The throughput improvement is around 5-30% depending on the applic
