I try to be sympathetic to the "color blind is still racist" thing, since I'm white so maybe my perspective's not that useful. But I definitely feel a lot more racist and way more race-aware, to no productive purpose

I need to get around to signing up. I started a couple weeks back, but stalled about some question re: what search means to you, or something like that, went off for a while to think about it, and never went back. Guess I need to just write

How... do 80 searches cost them a dollar? That seems insanely high unless they're counting fixed costs that'll go down fast (on a per-search basis) as they get more subscribers. 8,000 searches costing a dollar, in actual resource

Victimized kids victimize other kids. Usually younger ones, and usually relatives. A lot. They don't all do it, of course, but many do. It's... all pretty disturbing.

The hard part's not creating some kind of certification, it's getting desirable employers to accept it as a replacement for the most-painful parts of their interview processes. I suspect a lot of top companies don't want to

On a lot of distros, many DEs or WMs do have worse defaults or weird glitches that other, blessed ones do not. The dice may come up in your favor more often than not, but you're still definitely rolling them when you move away from a d

I, for one, will probably never subject myself to a FAANG-type interview, but absolutely would study for and take a similar standardized test if it unlocked the same kind of opportunities, and I didn't have to re-take it with every int

Once Windows stopped having shit-tier stability, some time around late XP or early Win7, Desktop Linux replaced it as the least-stable and buggiest of the three GUI desktop operating systems I regularly use. Even before that, it nearly matc

My guess is that by the time the self-selection of people who think they're ready to apply and have a good enough shot to make it worth all the time the interviews take, happens, and they get to an in-person (having perhaps passed a

OK, cool, thanks—I wasn't asking to nitpick, but because I really wasn't sure whether it was a mistake, or a neologistic/jargon usage I was unfamiliar with.

I think it's fine as long as you make sure the company in question is one of the many that post fake job openings. Then it's simply justice.

Republican dislike of social programs (I mean their voters, not the politicians) is largely a marketing thing, not based on what the programs actually do. You poll people on whether they support Social Program X, you get a very different re

I'm quite certain that making people dread interviewing is part of the point. Else why keep making people who've already passed multiple times, do it again? First FAANG to start routinely letting people who've already passed

I'm pretty sure that most of the benefit of FAANG-type interviews is narrowing the candidate pool to almost exclusively people who'd be OK to hire. IOW they could just hire randomly from the pool with no leetcoding at all, and l

The former's arguably net-beneficial, in a world with effectively eternal copyright terms. It's shouldn't be possible for Disney to own so much of the last ~100 years of popular media, for example, because most of that shou

My M1 Air still feels faster in practice than the monster hex-core AMD desktop I built less than a year before I go the M1. And waaaaay faster than my 2015 MBP. I expect it'll last me until the M4 or M5 :-) [EDIT] Though, yes, if I wer

IME a machine with a discrete AMD or Nvidia graphics card will see, at best, 2x as many reliability-harming problems as one without. That even seemed to hold for Intel Macs. The ones with Intel graphics had way fewer problems.
