If you fail an interview because the interviewer was unreasonable, sometimes you should be thankful and think of it as a bullet dodged. Yes, an otherwise good company might have a bad interviewer, but if they don't have some feedback l

I have been rather loud about this and while I don't think my voice has meant much I think I have been part of a growing group of people who - together - are making a dent in this monopoly. Becoming part of it isn't hard either, i

That far I was able to get by myself ;-) I was wondering if someone had a good link to a book or paper or blog or something.

I have another explanation. Lets start with what the article says, but doesn't explain: > And now, in Anno Domini 2024, Google has lost its edge in search. There are plenty of things it can’t find. There are compelling alternatives.

Even in Apples "curated", "premium" official app store I never get the thing I search for first. I always get an ad for something else (that isn't marked as an ad).

It would also mean a lot of pilots who have have other options - and I guess those are the best ones - would consider taking those other options instead. This means airlines will have a smaller pool of less desirable / qualified pilots

So far I can't see anyone coming up with any cases were this would have made life safer or even solved a previously unsolved case. The law of diminishing returns very much exist, and as one of my teachers in engineering once pointed ou

As I argue above pilots already have an excellent safety record. Have you considered what the extra stress of considering ones every word during a long and stressful day can do to someones concentration? I mean many, the thoughts about what

It is easy to do mocks wrong. Here is however an example of how one does it right. Say you have a system that accepts input, does something with it and stores it to some storage. You don't want to touch actual storage in the build pipe

You enter a passphrase on each device. I cannot vouch for how well it is implemented but it seems it can work.
