I think this is a good analysis of where the offline idea started from, but in my experience the majority of interviewers who want you to do a "take home" thing are asking you to sign up for a multiple-hour mess of a project. Th

Typically, because one has other opportunities that are no less compelling and where potential employers show respect for candidates' time. I have a GitHub profile with a lot of code on it and on my resume I highlight projects I'v

I investigated that once, and I don't think it's IT dysfunction in that case. My understanding (because I found this odd as well) is that it's because the support load for that site is so high, and the likelihood of abandoned

Does anything else in Ruby do so idiomatically? My point is that would be different, and as a rule, different is surprising and surprising is wrong.

That's a neat idea! I might limit it to 0-arity vs. N-arity suggestions, to not create odd behavior for other situations (assuming Data is, as I expect, just Ruby and doesn't have any compiler special-sauce to it). I guess it woul

So I get your point, but to this reasonably-Ruby-familiar human, this is not surprising. `name=` is the name of the setter method that you'd need to have here if you were to set the field; it doesn't exist, so Ruby's telling

Delivery predictability (this close to a major hub, a lot of stuff is overnight and everything is two-day shipping) and the occasional television show (one very other week or so) is why I keep paying for Prime. Also, they gave me GrubHub+

Here in my area, they pay about the same as UPS or FedEx (UPS also does a lot of the Amazon delivery). And there remain more ways to incentivize--like I would, genuinely, pay more on my Prime subscription if the delivery folks would pay att

"Pay delivery people a wage that makes them care" is an option.

They tried to do that with Amazon Fresh. Their delivery folks didn't pick up the bags when they were left out, though, even when Amazon said they would.

The thing I continue to not get, and I've used Tailwind enough to at least have an idea of what it wants me to care about, is why miles and miles of utility classes are better for that than, say, styled-components and an object merge.

by eropple 4y ago
This really hits why I've bounced off of Tailwind. I've largely been a backend/infra developer but for some reason CSS has always resonated with me; it makes a ton of sense to me and with HTML (or these days, a React or Svelt

Now that's an idea. I like that.

That would be a nice add-on, but IME, most people just click straight through it.

Is git bisect a power user feature? I was taught git by a senior engineer early in my career and it was the first "this will save your rear" tool he showed me.

He spends his time complaining on Twitter and hosting faux polls to unban right-wing trolls while misquoting "vox populi, vox dei". He can almost certainly make time for spite.

This is like that effective altruism nonsense, but with extra guilt added. No thank you.

I'm sure there are plenty of projects created in JavaScript. I'm not sure there are plenty of projects created in JavaScript in what I think we can all generally agree is leading-edge to mainline tech. There will always be laggard

TypeScript seems to have by-and-large "won" in the JavaScript ecosystem; I can think of exactly one senior+ developer I've run into in the last few years who's expressed a preference for JS over TS and, similarly, I can

This is only situationally true, both in terms of employment contract and jurisdiction. Rule #1: don't listen to sweeping statements about law on HN.

Yup. That's why "pregnant person" is used instead as a descriptor; it is a condition that a person experiences, it does not refer to extraneous factors like gender identification.

Did those not have automatic graphics switching? I tapped out of Intel MBPs around 2017, but AGS made using them pretty decent for the time.

I mean, of course. That's part of the job: you can't search for multiplier effects without knowing what they are.

Of course--that's my point. Those externalities aren't priced in, which is a large part of the purchasing power change for consumer goods over the last couple decades. We can start with the cost of salvage and recycling being pric

They are not. I agree. SSO isn't where to try to bleed that pig though, I think, to the point where for team-based systems it is probably more proper to disallow anything else (and maybe make them pay for guest access outside of their
