Oh, look, the question got edited to replace “female” with “woman”. Thank you.

Depends on the network and company. You get “has anyone worked at Acme Corp? What was it like?” And “I was there 5 years ago. Things were great in the foo department, but my friends in the bar department said the VP there did baz. Things ma

What’s old about “woman”? “Woman” means “adult female human being”. That includes 18-year-olds.

The office presumably isn’t just the dev team, though.

As a woman, I avoid companies where people use “female” as a noun when referring to humans. On a less snarky note, I’m aware of the gender balance of my interviewers. At a startup with an engineering team of 3, not having any other women is

Isn't there also an argument that excessive sleep may be caused by health issues that end up affecting longevity as well?

You don’t need to be sure. It’s a better investment of time if you’re sure (or at least have tangible evidence) tho.

Because we learned to tell time on 12-hour analog clocks?

In that regard, the mid-20th century is an anomaly in human history. Which is not to say we shouldn't aspire to such a relatively even income/wealth distribution. However, the political will for progressive taxation - which facili

What percentage of each? It sounds like this book barn could use some organization in general, and sorting by language might be a good first step. Then you can scan the English and French as lower hanging fruit, and maybe recruit extra help

A lot of the older ones can be looked up by their Library of Congress number, IIRC from digitizing and barcoding a school library’s catalog a couple decades ago. FWIW, that effort took a half dozen people about 3 months for somewhere on the

Why does this suggest poor sleep habits to you?

Huh, doing this re-enabled my add-ons but nothing is listed under about:studies.

Now if only attractive backpacks were sold with nice thick padded straps instead of glorified shoelaces!

First, catch up on all your sleep. Then start going to bed at 9:30pm or so. You’ll probably start waking up naturally, fully rested, at 5-6am. (Note that this is also easiest to do at times of year when the sun rises at 5-6am.) The natural

Only within certain parameters. If you choose a stack that you or your early employees don’t know well or that it’s difficult to hire for, that will affect your trajectory. But if you’re choosing between broadly comparable common stacks wit

What are some good off the shelf modern alternatives for those of us who need to distinguish humans from bots? Maybe if a couple of those were higher in developer consciousness we’d get fewer recaptchas?

That depends. What do you consider to be the hallmarks of “maturity” or “immaturity”?

Isn't that part of the point? Being remote allows Gitlab to hire the less expensive candidate, assuming equal suitability for the job. That's good for the company. If that's translating into other biases (race/gender&#

This could be the sort of thing that’s intensely painful in the short term but pushes us to adopt strategies that are better choices for the long term. The last time oil prices surged like that (2007-8), political will to develop and improv

Wordpress took off because even before it became a 1-click control panel install it could be installed in minutes with near-zero expertise on any of tens of thousands of cheap cPanel hosts starting around $1/mo.

How do you focus on planning while running? My mind always goes totally blank except for awareness of body and surroundings.

Huh, might make a nice monitor too.

Surely there's a middle ground? I'm almost certainly not the person my co-workers would choose to be friends with or go out of their way to have present when not at work. I'm totally cool with that. The feeling is mutual. B

But the fact is that a lot of people ARE trying to use the gig economy to make a living. In many cases because it's the only option open to them. When gigs represent an ever-increasing percentage of the employment available and steadi

Even if there are a few, it’s weird to describe that as the cost of living in the borough if only 1% of the housing stock qualifies. You’re definitely not guaranteed to be able to find an apartment at that price.

There are plenty of sub-$2k 2-BR apartments to be found in NYC. I’m not sure where you’d find one in Manhattan (New York County), though. They’re mostly in the less desirable (whether because of crime or commute time to Manhattan) outer-bor

Only if there are well paying jobs there for their skills. And if they’re satisfied with the school systems. And different people have different ideas of what a “nice” place is to live.

Sure, but are they at all useful?
