I had the same problem with Barclays (a long time ago...) when moving to the UK, they wouldn't accept a letter from my employer and they wouldn't accept a rental agreement either as proof of address. Solution: the confirmation let

I'm not sure why you are downvoted, as everyone is entitled to their opinion. I kind of agree with both sides, but the people suggesting train rides forget that the train doesn't stop in front of your house, and doesn't leave

> "battery life" vs "Optimized for intensive computing usage" These are contradicting conditions. (Unless maybe on an M1?) If you do use the CPU then battery life will drop even for the best laptops to a few hours max

Problem is, reading is at least an order of magnitude easier than writing. In terms of natural languages, if you can read and mostly understand a text in another language, let's say you score 8/10. At the same time it is completel

Funny how the author complains about Clojure because it compiles to JVM bytecode, and then chooses another LISP compiled to... another kind of bytecode? > The Janet language is implemented on top of an abstract machine (AM). Greenspun&#x

I take this to the next level, and never even call any banks or providers. I just walk in and deal with them in person. Probably takes more time and effort, but is totally worth it IMHO.

As someone in Europe, Amazon would be the last place for me to look for bike parts. We have so many great options, including huge online retailers (Bike24, bike-components, bike-discounts, just to mention a few), all of which I've orde

I'm sorry, but the title of the post is completely misleading. Passing a B2 (=basic) level exam is definitely not equal to "I learned French". It is a realistic goal to get to the B2 level in a year, if you devote sufficient

If your tasks are CPU-bound, and you are ready to move outside your process, why not consider your deployment options? If you are deploying on AWS, AWS Lambdas were invented for exactly this kind of processing.

Which is fine by me. Look, I'm not saying there shouldn't be an app at all, all I'm saying is that people should not be forced to use the app.

You can probably think of this as gas prices at motorway stations vs gas prices at your local supermarket. OK, the spread is smaller for gas, but the underlying principle is the same. You pay for convenience and speed. Also, if you don&#x27

You mean of course it is simpler and cheaper for the provider, not for "people" (the users). For actual users nothing beats the simplicity of paying via contactless card (or mobile) payment solution. Right now I have probably over

Are you US based? Here in Europe this sometimes happens (candidates can't code at all), but _very_ rarely, maybe 1 out of 100? Especially as you move eastwards, the base coding abilities start to improve massively for the average candi

I don't think it is fair that you are downvoted, the parallel you are presenting is a real question, eg. how much does being good at leetcode correlate with being good at solving production issues timely and efficiently? (Even if real

In my experience leetcode mostly tests algorithmic thinking. Write a sort function, for example, but the problem is, in real life you use a library with a well tested, battle-hardened sort implementation. It IS important that you understand

If everyone refused to comply, they (and all other companies) would have to rethink their approach and back up. Sometimes I really wish for a trade union of IT workers, however bad that sounds.
