Was this an in-person pair programming session or remote via shared desktop? Because the latter is garbage. You can't see the other person or read their body language. It also gives off "proctored test" vibes. Or worse than v

When I lived in Austin I looked at buying a pair a couple of times (I went to the chains, like Cavender's and Tecovas). But I have funny shaped feet so none of them fit quite right. I should have gone to somewhere like Chisos or Texas

Some coworkers had to evacuate. One of them was woken up last night by their doorbell camera sending multiple alerts because of the high winds. I hope everyone gets to safety.

There is an industry standard - HR-XML[0] (disclaimer: I was on the committee for a little while). But I would be surprised if any of the job boards let you import it directly. Frankly, plain text rendered to PDF is probably going to be the

I'm surprised they took the risk of extending the lookup table to have all 2's in the undefined region. A safer route would have been to just fix the 5 entries. Someone was pretty confident!

I had the 32" high-def XBR model (it did 1080i which WRAL in Raleigh was broadcasting). It weighed 211 pounds, of which about 3/4 of it was the front glass. Like the other poster, when it was time for it to leave, I had to careful
