I don’t think it’s an unreasonable expectation to have a candidate write some code in a screening interview for a software engineering position. When a candidate flat out refuses to, then this is a huge red flag. It’s not a perfect system,

I agree - I already use an extension for emacs key bindings that mostly works. With such a rich extension ecosystem I'd rather see them invest in enabling extensions to do this, rather than adding the functionality themselves.

This depends on the hiring manager and the org - I'm hiring for a couple of roles in Australia and have explicitly marked them as remote (in AU).

Yeah I've used a hololens for a building walkthrough (showing a new fitout) and whilst it was a cool experience, the resolution was really low, and the field of view was tiny - just a small square in each eye. The latency tracking was

Yes, thank you for the addition. The book was the first thing I read after we received the diagnosis for my son - although a friend had recommended it prior to this. It also helped me as person feel less different and accepting of myself (I

For anyone interested in the history of ASD, I highly recommend the book NeuroTribes [1] - I read this shortly after my son was diagnosed with ASD and it goes through a lot of history, up to the most recent DSM V definition. [1] https:&#x2

In zsh you can C-x, C-e and it will open whatever is on the command line in $EDITOR. When you save it the changes will be on the command line.

As someone who is constantly (it seems) looking for new ways to take notes / todos this is a very cool solution. Using a get request to write the one-line notes is really nice - though do you handle any sort of auth with this? Can FF b

Possibly - but in my case the windows was just floating on top of all of my other windows, and whilst I could move and resize it, I could not move it like other windows. So popping out a new firefox window that operates like a normal window

I completely agree - I use i3 and was interested to see that this just pops up a floating window over all of my others. When reading the feature my thought was that it would be a floating window _within_ the browser window - which I think I

Correct. I was in the Royal Australian Artillery corps for a number of years, and RATEL procedures (across all corps) drill this into you. However it is unlikely to occur in practice - the artillery battery will (generally) be on a separate

I've been using Apple laptops since the G4 Ti Powerbook (in ~2003 I think) - and have generally been on a ~2-4 year upgrade cycle. Last February (~15mo ago) I went from my 2015 13" MBP to a new Macbook Air - they had touch ID, no
