The academic text books are known to have different test questions so US students can't buy (relatively) dirt cheap "foreign" prints. The text might be the same elsewhere in the book though.

Tech books for the Indian market have been a good resource. The books (and maybe exercises) slightly differ to the US prints to keep control of the market. I acquired a huge stack from an Amazon UK seller for literally pennies each.

Your comments echo what many who are currently employed say. When the shoe is on the other foot though, and unemployed, you can almost guarantee they will have applied to 100+ roles!

Depends on how long the mobile can last on with just bluetooth being toggled. Disable mobile and wifi, and use USB to transfer the audio?

I hadn't thought of tech jobs being a target for fraud but it makes sense. Candidates will always test the market for how much they can inflate their experience.

70M jobs was just the company I was thinking of. Fantastic positive outlook on life and gives people a second chance.

HN, Facebook, Reddit, Messenger, YouTube, news websites and dozens of other sites are on a block list from 0900-1800 M-F via a super useful plugin for Firefox (on mobile now and I can't remember it!)

It's common here in the Netherlands for shops to charge extra for MasterCard/Visa card processing, and they advertise this at the till. Maestro is king in this country. Buying airline tickets online often display the processing f

Thank you for the correction, I had ivory in my head for some reason. Oh well, it still gets the point across with context :-)

As soon as they tighten regulations on shell companies and awful lot of wealthy people might have to start paying tax. Those people also happen to be highly influential in the world of global politics. Sitting in their ivory towers, a dev

I hope you've recovered to full strength. Burnout (and mental health in general) is not talked about nearly enough.

I know a handful of people who needed time off to recover from burnout - it ranged between 8 weeks to 2 years - depending on if they could convince their Doctor to officially recognise it for government support.

Apollo is among the best. The developer Christian is super engaged with his user base, and the local animal shelter. He has donated $10,000s to them through fundraising!

The amount of analytics data that can be pulled from mobile is insane. They want to track everything you do. It's also less bandwidth as API calls can just pull the necessary data to hydrate the screen.

A few tips from working remote over the years: 1. Start your day by going out of the house - walk the dog, collect a newspaper, watch the sunrise, do some exercise. 2. When you return, shower and change into "work" clothes. Per

I've been several places where this was the unofficial policy and saw it happen a few times. Once while the CISO was abusing someone else's computer, he forgot to lock his own. Credit due to him - he kept his word - and since he

Perhaps it's related to some EU employment law about "career progression"? Every contract I've signed certainly had such things in there. Often employers say they'll pay for exams but not allocate study time during

Even without physical media, I'd rather pay for a copy of the music I can "own" (I.e. like a physical CD) from Bandcamp as the revenue the artist gets is _significantly_ higher than a dozen streams of the same album on Spotif

It's also a example of a project where you can learn more about a platform. Yes, it could be run outside of k8s, but perhaps the author wanted to add the extra layer of "difficulty".
