Mechanical keyboard enthusiasts aren't necessarily into speed typing which would be a more apt comparison to the optimizations you listed (minus audiophile). I have always thought of them as being more similar to people who develop a

Some places are interviewing for a single open role, conduct all interviews and then make a decision from that candidate pool. Being towards the end might be an advantage in that case. Other places open up several new roles, and conduct rol

I know I can put spaces in file names, but \ is one of the characters I still can't touch type, so I still hate dealing with them in the terminal.

I love getting Apple products refurbished, but I wish people on the internet wouldn't talk about it so much. I just bought a refurbished M1 Macbook Air, and had to settle for less RAM than I would have liked because my preferred config

I am very interested in the buckling gel, and I have considered getting a mattress from Purple a few times. Is it a significant upgrade from memory foam?

I purchased a similar product from TCL, and for me cost was the main factor. It got a decent 4k TV for $500 because it is supported by ads and data collection. I don't keep it connected to the internet, and all of the content comes fro

I agree that you get a lot, and that the new laptops are great. If I was going to be using this full time as my work computer I would get it, but as my personal/fun computer the upgrades don't make sense for me. I can't wait

I have been waiting on this announcement to buy a new Mac, but now that they are out, I don't think I will buy one. The prices are 2x a Macbook Air, but the utility for me doesn't match. If the 14" was closer to the previous

I personally view conflicting information like that as a red flag. I would rather pass up a potential good deal than have to navigate a return from a questionable listing (or more likely, suffer with a bad product because I would blame myse

This listing is to replace me: I left LSA Tech Services in September. I had a great time as Research Software Engineer for the past 4 years, and would highly recommend it. I am happy to answer any questions about my experience in this role.

My wife and I both went to graduate school and had very different experiences. I have a few major takeaways from what happened to us: 1) I was a "failed" PhD student that left with a masters in mechanical engineering. Now I have a

> Hell, US intelligence agencies block ads at the network level because the ad industry is so infested with tracking/malware/spyware/exploits/etc. That’s a hell of an indictment. I think this just means that they have

At my last job, all salaries were public record, and some dude even put together a website ( https://umsalary.info ) to make searching easier. Want to know what some internal career change might look like? Just take a look. Want t

This looks amazing, but it isn't 3 full degrees of freedom is it? I feel like there are some orientations that wouldn't be possible with this, but I am really not sure.

I just interviewed at a few companies, and passed the technical screens without completing any of the coding assignments. Some were close, but most of the time they told me up front that they didn't expect any complete solutions, and w

That is obviously not a fair comparison. Apple's developer fee is there to create a little bit of a filter and to help reinforce the legal agreement for getting access to pre-release stuff, and running code on your own hardware. The fe
