It just goes to show how skewed the power balance is right now. People are probably afraid to make an extra move that can deduct points for any obscure reason. When I interview people I encourage them to ask any question they want and I mak

Not to mention that most (all?) of those assets haven't been seized. They were frozen (although the interest earned on them was seized by diverting it to Ukraine in some cases).

Not in North America. Not sure about Mexico, but in the US and Canada the majority of tennis courts are public and free (some of them are being converted to pickle ball, but that's a rant for another post). You can pick up a racquet at

It's just a tool, right? I'm not an AI enthusiast, but I use it quite a bit, from googling to learning and checking my understanding of stuff. So I would steer the conversation towards ways of using AI for dev-related tasks other

Even with practice, dev interviews are a crapshoot. Sometimes you will knock it out of the park, only to fail at the next round because of something silly. And other times you don't do anything special and get moved to the next round (

So true, it is so awesome. I've just replaced my weather network bookmark with the open-meteo's "API Response" chart. I hope open-meteo doesn't mind :)

It pays to help one's brain stay in the flow, though, and fast and reliable muscle-memory-based navigation of one's IDE does exactly that.

FWIW, the old UI (which I agree is better) is still available. Once the "AI search" is done, there's a dropdown you can click and it will show all the reviews that include the word you searched.

So true; and avocado also has the added benefit of filling you up "on the cheap" :) I find balsamic makes all the difference with greens and cherry tomatoes (white vinegar doesn't work as well).

Don't know if it helps, but oregano is practically a weed, the way it overtakes every pot in your planter. You don't even have to water it! As for ginger, I don't know your location, but in North America fresh organic ginger

Possibly because quitting comfort food cold-turkey rarely works for most people. Being aware of calories allows you to maintain the deficit while having cheat days (or meals). The goal is to find a lifestyle that works because relying purel

Nice! I have a variation that's a bit lower end in terms of ingredients, preparation and calories, but I also never get tired of it: - Fresh greens (I find Whole Foods prewashed green mixes kind of cheap and convenient for the purpose)

I mean, this is not scientific and all, but for the sake of the argument: your argument is not contrary to the grandparent's. I.e. a keto diet may be beneficial for a hunter-gatherer who only lives 30 years while bad for someone who li

I'm really enjoying Thinkpad X1 Yoga as a Linux laptop. I have the Gen 6 that's a few years old by now but it still feels and looks as good as new. Caveats: 32 GB RAM is enough for me and I don't need a powerful GPU. Also bat
