had a similar thing happen a few years ago when buying out my car at the end of a lease (normally a bad idea, but worked out due to specific circumstance). The person I was dealing with was baffled, kept wanting to have me fill out a loan a

Not bay area (though there fairly often) but if you do it please have it recorded and posted somewhere. Would be a great resource.

I would tend to take the cynical view that the point of petitions in general is that it lets people feel like they're making making their voice heard and acting as a pressure relief valve of sorts for all but the most serious of grieva

I mean syntax of the conversation. They're basically gaming the initial phone screenings and making us waste engineer time discovering that they don't really know anything. It's not exactly easy to get good filtering for this

Related, I've found that the term devops is too poisoned to be used effectively when hiring. It brings out charlatans in far greater numbers than anything else at the moment. Garden variety technician level folks who self inflate their

This represents a fairly major milestone in game A.I. doesn't it? I only took one A.I. class in school and had a few that involved games as projects and remember several times the lecturers/professors (10 years ago) mentioning tha

ah survivorship bias, thats an old standby. I very much want my child and anyone who may be charged with keeping them safe to be able to contact me 24/7. Too much can go wrong too fast to not be able to be there for those that I care a

These responses seem completely alien to me. Do those of you who turn your phones off or leave them places not have spouses/children to be responsible for, aging parents/grandparents to help out with, or in generally want to be av

redpotion seems to be the way to go, but that project seems to be in maintenance mode. There are a few other libraries/frameworks from the rubymotion project itself, called motionflow iirc, that seemed like they were the way of the fut

Agreed that that was the intention, and that made a lot of sense when almost everyone was involved in some way of working the land/sea near their home. Granted I don't think I have popular political opinions, but given that I have

I like rubymotion and looked very seriously at it for doing some prototyping/mvp work a few years back before we hired in house ios dev. I think react-native has largely filled the niche that was there for rubymotion to fill and with t

I don't understand all the agurments for apprenticeship, what we're dealing with now are the problems of workers being unable to move over/up after being displaced by technology. Apprenticeship systems would only exacerbate t

nice to see OSCP still regarded well. I got it about a decade about when our CTO had an initiative that everyone doing customer interaction (R&D team + professional services support for me at the time) should have a cert. I vehemently d

No that wasn't it. No hate anyway, its a fine piece of software that gets the job done for a lot of people, just for me I felt it unintuitive.

Every kid is different, but we had lots of success with the calming techniques from Happiest Baby on the Block. At end of the day its simple stuff, but during those first few months when you're in survival mode simple is what you need.
