Thank God for social media that the user was able to get attention about this on Reddit which he was then advised there to post this on HN. It must have been stressful to see a six-figure bill and then get told that that, no worries, you’d

I saw an entry for one of the positions there on LinkedIn. The application page wasn’t too bad at first glance since it doesn’t involve registration like Workday or Taleo. But as I began to scroll down, I saw those high school questions and

That seems to be true in my case, the first decade of my career was spent in cube farms and cramped offices. I learned a lot and made a few networks, and now I’m at a fortunate point where most jobs are available to me with a phone call if

It depends on the commuting time though. I used to live 15 mins away from my office and I feel the same way as you. But now, having to commute an hour each way is detrimental to me so working from home is far better.

The link to upgrade seems to have been removed. I guess the pro plan was oversubscribed?

Most of the interesting prompts no longer work though (for e.g 'write a short story about aliens as if J. K. Rowling was writing it). Seems like they've nerfed all the good stuff. my result for the above query: https://

I still remember using that in order to have WiFi on campus. This was in 2000 so it was quite amazing to have wireless internet and home wifi wasn’t that common since dial-up was still common. You’re right, it said Orinoco in the label. Luc

Super stoked for this upcoming Black Friday.

I notice this too when you start charging money for customizations, suddenly all these requests for enhancements gets re-prioritized to good-to-haves from must-haves.

Instead of recording transactions of a coin on the blockchain, you are storing web3 app data on the blockchain. Unlike a centralized DB controlled by corporations/organizations, it is distributed just like all the nodes in ethereum(for

I think a to-do list of some kind would be a good place to start. I personally have been using Dynalist to keep track of of my daily log. With it, I am able to tell you what I roughly did anytime in the last 2+ years(on a working day). Here

I've tried earplugs, IEMs and noise cancelling headphones(Bose) and I wonder if theres something better out there. I wish there's some sort of an procedure/implant that I could go through so that I could have a mute button fo

I have read dozens of articles like this and as a developer, it would be great to work at a place like that: WFH option, non-open plan layout / 4-man offices. But the people who want that are rarely the ones in a position to implement

Pictures would be helpful as it would let you know whether you'll be working in a bullpen.

I'm currently working on an MVC5 project on .NET 4.6.1 using VS2015 on Windows. Can I load my solution on VS for Mac and have it work out of the box(restoring nuget packages...etc)?

Can you tell us a bit more about 'taking 3-6 months off' to learn new things. I'm thinking about doing that myself. Did you take a sabbatical? Is your current company ok with this? What did you work on?

by gaza3g 9y ago
Yep, had a video-interview with FB too. Didn't hear from them after that.

Any advice for someone who wants to accomplish the same thing but lives in Singapore?

Care to share with us the nature of the work or maybe some examples? I'm kind of sick of doing CRUD apps. Maybe hearing about what you do would inspire me to explore something new.

For Muslims, it is recommended to fast on Mondays and Thursdays. Also for the whole month of Ramadan every year.

Thanks for this. The thing that captured my interest was the point about being backed by Facebook. Parse was backed by Facebook and look where it is now.

Yup, I'm in Singapore and they told me that they don't have that feature yet. I find that really ridiculous.

This is exactly my experience at my current workplace. The people who makes the most noise are the not-programmers and somehow they deserve their own cube because... Developers like myself have to settle with our bull-pen. Like you, when I

This helped me. Also use pip3 instead of pip.

Thanks for sharing. I wish more companies would do this as it alleviates some of the interview pressure from the candidate.

I bought a portapro during a Black Friday sale a few years and my experience was kinda like yours: it broke after a few months of use.

Can you post an example of what a typical outline would look like? As someone who interviews a lot, I'm quite interested in implementing a no-surprise interview process for the place I'm currently at as I too have been at the othe
